Minot, April.—Out on the
prairie northwest of Minot
about twenty miles a deserving
young farmer resides and not
far away lives the woman of
bis choice, a comely rural lassie.
Three years ago they were en
gaged to be married, when one
day the young swain received
a letter supposed to have been
aent by his sweetheart. A rath
er warm reply was sent and for
a time there was a regular
fusillade of correspondence
back and forth. The engage
ment was broken and for years
the couple has not spoken to
each other.
To make matters more com
plicated the young woman
Btarted an action against her
former lover for slander and the
case war. to have been tried be
fore Judge Leigh.ton at the last
term of district court. The at
torneys for each side were con
fident for they supposed that
they had the "goods" on the
other side.? Just before the case
came to trial, the couple spoke
for the first time in three years
and it developed that by com
paring notes, neither had writ*
ten to the other. A little de
tective work revealed the "nig
ger in the wood pile," who was
none other than another young
farmer, who almost succeeded
in his purpose to separate the
couple. The third party was
raked over the coals and he
was compelled to pay the coat
of the action, about $800, which
amount it is said he raised by
mortgaging his farm.
Drifting of Soil.
At this time of the year some
soil will blow. The best im
mediate remedy is to spread
thin layers of straw or manure
in strips across the fields.
The permanent remedy is tp
grow a crop that puts grass
roots into the soil. The best
grasses for this are bromus
inermus and western rye grass.
These grasses have large root
systems, thus binding the soil
grains together a good deal as
they were in the native sod.
Alfalfa is also good for put.
ting roots into the soil. Alfalfa
also adds fertility to the soil.
The longer the soil is tilled
without putting organic mat
ter into it the worse it will
blow, and the less capacity it
will have for holding moisture.

Sheldon Progress: The cut
mination of an interesting ro
mance which started in Stock
holm, Sweden, over thirty years
ago will occur within a few
days when Jack West and Miss
Wilhelruina Larson who in
their childhood days were play
mates and sweethearts in the
old country, will be united in
marriage.
Over thirty years ago Jack,
who t* a well known charact
in Sheldon, caue to Ameri a
from Sweden to seek his for
tune—to build a home for his
sweetheart whom he had left
behind. He met misfortut
and hardship, but for years he
unceasingly toiled and labored
that he might be able to bring
to America the playmate of hia
boyhood days—and through all
the years he remained faithful
to her. And back in the old
country patiently waiting for
him through the long^lonesome
daya was bis sweetheart. She
too remained faithful, hoping
that the time would come when
he would be able to bring her
to a home in the new country.
Laat fall Jack was in position
to realize the ambition of his
life, and he returned to Sweden
for the ostensible purpose of
visiting hia old home, but be
fore going he confided to a few
of his intimate frienda that l:e
expected to return a benedict.
He found his former sweetheart
still waiting for him and they
wished to be married at once,
but the lawa of Sweden requir
ed that he should have a ceiti
ficate from thia country show*
ing that he had not married
here, and Jack not knowing
where to apply for one, they
decided to wait and get married
here. After spending a few
months in Sweden renewing
their courtship of former days,
they started for America, reach

And assured that very few of them
would have claimed to be saints, we
would have concluded that all the re
mainder plunged down to a Catholic
Purgatory of terror, or worse, to a
Protestant hell of eternal torture.
Even the tales of their great gal
lantry and heroism would not have
altered the decision which would have
hung on the question. Did they con
fess Jesus in word and deed? we
would have asked. Were they church
members? This is the same argument
used respecting the 90,000 heathen
who die every day in the year, "going
down into Christiess graves," the "Lon
don Missionary Society" truly says,
but means and is understood to mean
into Christiess eternal torture!
Now, how different! Now we see
thst a faithful, elect Church Is being
selected during this Age that In the
next Age they with Jesus may assist,
bless, uplift ail the non-elect to an
earthly salvation to human perfection,
In the new Paradise—Earth—which
Messiah's Kingdom will usher in.
Thus, only the wilfully wicked will
ever be annihilated.
But our old errors die hard because
we have twisted the Bible to fit them.
For instance, let us consider St. Pet
er's words:—"Christ also hath once
suffered for sins, the Just for the un
just, that He might bring us to God,
being put to death in the flesh, but
quickened in the spirit, by which (two
experiences—death and resurrection)
He preached unto the spirits in prison"
(1 Peter ill, 18, 19).
This text has been made the basis
for some very peculiar presentations.
The difficulty in every case seems to
be the failure to remember that the
Bible always and everywhere teaches
that the dead are really
dead,
that
they will know nothing until the resur
rection. Therefore, it would be im
possible to preach to the dead humans.
Spirits Ones Disobedient.
St. Peter tells us the time of the dis
obedience of these spirits—"in the days
of Noah, while the ark was preparing."
Turning to Genesis vi, 14, we Had
there the cause of the disobedience of
these angels who for a Urns bad been
permitted to sse what they could do
for the uplift of humanity, or, rather,
permitted to demonstrate that the
downward tendency of sin Is incur
able except in the manner which God
hss already arranged for through Mes
siah and His reign of 1,000 years.
The particular sin of those angels
was that when they were granted
the privilege of materialist:! «f tak
ing human bodies—for the sakf of help-'
Ing and instructing mankind-* Cisy mis
used this power and took to themselves
wives.
The offspring of this Improper union
were "giants," both physically and
mentally superior to the fallen human
family—"men of renown." The race
thus in several centuries became so
corrupt that lpparently only Noah and
his family were left uncontamlnated.
It was then and there that God im
prisoned these spirits ("angels, who
kept not their first estate"), and are
tlferefore called fallen angels, devils,
demons. They were not Imprisoned in
some far-off world called hell, nor are
they engaged there In stoking fires.
The record is that God cast them
down, that they might not longer asso
ciate with the holy angels, but must be
reserved in tartarua—our earth's atmos
.phere.-Jude 6 II Peter 11, 4,5.
When imprisoned or cut off from the
privilege of materialization, many of
the fallen spirits continued their active
opposition to God, like Satan, and are
spoken of as his angels.
How Jesus Preached In Death.
Here arises another question: If
Jesus really died, as the Scriptures de
clare if "He poured out Hit aoul unto
death" and "made Hia soul an olferlng tar
sin," and His soul was not raised from
the dead until the third day after His
crucifixion, how could He In the mean
time preach to spirits In prison, or to
anybody else? We reply that He could
preach in the ssme way that the Apos
tle refers to, saying, "Abel, being dead,
yet spesketh" (Hebrews xl, 4).
But when they perceived His resur
rection on the third day to glory, hon
or and Immortality ("far above angels,
principalities and powers"). His ser
mon to them wss complete, namely,
that "the wages of sin is desth," but
"the gift of God Is eternal life"
(Romans vl. 23). And as they realized
thus the Power of God snd the Love
of God for His human creatures, the
Apostle's words imply that this con
stituted to them a message of hone.
