halo of sanctity encircling his head Bro Barker last week showed the smallness of his nature by criticis- ing ¬ us for receiving a rocking horse from Chicago which was sent to our little son by his grandmother Not content with casting an ugly slur at us he seeks further to prejudice the busi- ness ¬ men of Valentine against us be- cause ¬ we entered into the spirit of the holiday season and carried the gift down Main street where all might see it Barkers article was about the most contemptibly little thing we have ever seen in a newspaper and exhibits to a mar ked degree the fraternal spirit which fills his breast There is to be a great denomination- al ¬ conference in New York the object and purpose of which is to evangelize this natiun This is a great movement and should receive the encouragement andsupport of every American Ac- cording ¬ to the last census there are over 50000000 peo le in this country who do not profess Christianity As a nation we are making war upon a Christian people whose only offense is that they love liberty and are willing to die for it Millions of dollars are sent every year to foreign missions and this has been going on for half a cent- ury ¬ and the results are most discour ¬ aging It is to be hoped that at this great conference something will be done toward directing the millions that have b een spent abroad to convert the heathen m missionary work at home Even the ministry itself is suffering from sheer neglect A better educated ministry is one of the crying needs of the Christian church in America Es tablish with some of the millions that have been sent to foreign missions a great university at home that will not only educate the minds of our young men but one that will educate their fiouls as well If we had a great nation- al ¬ university of this character for fifty years past and had required every man that would presume to preach the gos- pel ¬ of Christianity to be a graduate then we would not have had the shock- ing ¬ example of a Christian minister going on the stump in a- - national cam paign and declaring that he thanked God for the opportunity of making war on a Christian people This is only one but therewere many others who paraded the littleness of their souls and the shallowness of their professed Christianity The American people are not irreligious and the fact that 50 000000 of them refuse to alffiiate with some Christian body can be very easily accounted for The fault is with the ministry and not with the people If this conference in New York will do something which will give us a better ministry the Christian minister will then have sometlnug to thank God for and we will no more have our leligious feelings shocked by a follower of Christ j glorifying God for an opportunity to shoot Christianity into a Christian brother Quill Whatever may be said of the scien- tific ¬ causes upop which the Kev Irl R Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of storm and weather it is a remarkrble fact that specific warnings of every great storm flood cold wave and drouth have been plainly printed in his now famous Almanac for many years The latest startling proof of this fact was the destruction of Galves ton Texas on the very day named by Prof Hicks in his 1900 Almanac as one of disaster by storm along the gulf coasts The 1901 Almanac by far the finest most complete and beautiful yet published is now ready This remark able book of near two hundred pages splendidly illustrated with charts and half tone engravings goes as a prem ¬ ium to every subscriber who pays one dollar a
