Docca^M-had for several months been suffering from some stomach trouble that medical science vainly combatted, and death came as a welcome relief. The funeral took place on Friday, Dec. 28, from the residence, and the remains were laid at rest on the old homestead. Berger O. Bjerkness was born at Hoff iu Solor, Norway, Sept. 20, 1843. He came to this country in 1868 and returned to Norway the next year. In 1870 he once more sailed for America, and came to Willmar, where for two years he worked at the blacksmith trade. In 1872 he was united in mar riage with Miss Anne Aasnes, and settled on a homestead claim iu town of Whitefield. He has lived there ever since, with the exception of two years during the grasshopper period, when he worked in a blacksmith shop at Preston, Minn. He leaves to mourn his departure a widow, two sons, O. B. and N. B. Bjerkness, and one daughter, Anna Bjerkness. The bereaved family has the sincere sympathy of the entire com munity in their sad affliction. Marriage Record. Dec. 19—Andrew Frederick Anderstrom to Christine Borg.

No. 47. 1 NOTESand COMMENT Measured by a cen- Thoughts tury's span how at the short and insignifi Beginning cant do not the peri of the ods seem in which a Century. mortal man lives and does? Half a century ago the State of Minnesota had barely been organized, and west of the big woods the Sioux Indians were the only inhabitants thereof. It is not more than thirty-one years since the first store was built in Will mar. 5- ince those early trying days of the pioneer another generation has grown up which knows naught of those days except what they have heard and read relating thereto. The changes that occur in a decade are stupendous those of a century cannot be grasped by the human mind, how ever much the finite but conceited un derstanding of men may assume to do. Penned within the confines of a little sphere, subdivided by prejudices and distinctions, what knows man of his own time? We are not competent to judge Of what occurs in our own time, much less can we realize the changes wrought since our grandfather's time. We have progressed, we believe. What is progress? Is it discovery? Is it rapid accumulation of wealth? We do things more easily now than our grandfathers did. How much bet ter off are we on that account? Do we work less? Do we worry less? Do we live longer? Do we enjoy life in a greater degree? Are we any the wiser when we are ready to leave the world? Our astronomers teach us theories. A new telescope sweeps all away as cobwebs are swept from the ceiling. New theories are formed. How long will they survive? Specialists discover new methods of harnessing energy. We ride faster. We read the gossip of the world each day. We have better artificial light. Do these things make us contented? Great advances are made in medi cal science. Discoveries are made daily. But is the race more robust than the people of the eighteenth cen ury? Is there less sickness? Is there less misery? These and other thoughts owd upon us. What is true progress? Who will answer? Is it not that which will con tribute to make the world a happy and npbk biding place for the chil drei* of ii•' during tiifcir alicfrt jour-» ney through life? What progress has been made in the Christian virtues, the greatest of which is charity? We do not mean in the profession of these virtues, bub in true adherence to them. The good book says: "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. "And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all myster ies and have all knowledge and though I have all faith, so I could re move mountains, and have not chari ty, I am nothing. "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." And again: "Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail whether there be tongues, they shall cease whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. "For we know in part, and we pro phesy in part. "But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." Nineteen centuries are completed since the message rang out: "Peace on earth, good will to men." How much progress has been made? We who are living today speak very flippantly of what has been ac complished in the last century and what may be accomplished in the cen tury just begun. The century will yet be young when most of us are gone and a younger generation is at its prime. Possibly a few who lay in their cradles a hundred years ago are yet alive, but they do not live in this century. They still exist, but they live in the past. Tbey live in the for ties, fifties and sixties when their life's work was accomplished. We will be gin the century, others will continue it and still others will close it. It re mains for us of the present generation to make the most of the short time allotted to us, and contribute our mite in the march of true progress.
