COO'S AUT OF DOORS
Dear Editor.:
It might be interesting to your initeilli
gent readers to enjoy a condensed digest
of a six months tour and mission in .this
land of the great Northwest. It has no
towering temples.or classic cities. It
has no monumental pile, pyramid .of
iioary antiquity nor granite memories of
bloody battle Held. But it is the gran
ary of God and the overflowing larder of
the Lord.
The man who thinks at all and whose
vision is normal, .cannot but become
sober and indeed serious when sweeping
before him in panoramic pageantry
comes the picture of the -ancient pro
phet ''Thine eyes shall see the king in
his beauty they shall behold the land
of immense distances." This land is
like a large-hearted, generous soul,
whom we find it easy to forgive, because
hisjabounding benefactions eclipse any
momentary and accidental meanness.
One forgets the occasional hail, the
cruel crushing cyclone and blighting
blizzards, with one kiss from the dawn
of a May morning.
The mesmeric mirage of the plain
plays with the natural senses till one is
transported into realms of celestial rap
ture. One summer evening's scene of
the western clouds like vestal virgins,
decked in royal robes of seraphic splen*
dor^curtaining the couch of the setting
sun, dismisses all the wintry severities
"like the baseless fabric of a dro&W* If
it ever was, it is no longer the "Wild
Wooly West." Except the oldest and
wealthiest parts of Ontario, there ia no
spot in the east that begins to approach
in wealth and the comforts of modern
conditions, many of the rural districts
of North Dakota and Manitoba. Many
of the farm houses compare favorably
with city homes. Almost all the farm
ers have telephooio conveniences. First
rank pianos adorn the parlors, and not a
few of the hard handed sons of toil after
twenty years, can build or buy a beauti
ful home in the town or city and retire
worth from twenty to one hundred
thousand dollars, They oertainly do
thiogB en a large Be«|e, The unit of

about two thousand inhabitants in
which thero were forty private automo
biles and tone man who owned and
worked-a twelve thousand acre farm.
On such farms they plow with steam
engines and turn over twenty-five acres
daily. Every village and town and city
has from -three to a dozen mammoth
elevators and the railroad conveniences
are abreast of oldest Ontario and fifty
years ahead of Quebec. The farmer is
king in this country amd it makes one
catch bis'breath as he-sees the king in
his jeans riding into town from his rural
estate and .taking his place in the bank
president's chair. There is no room for
mediocrity. The timid and the conser
vative die of unfitness. Here is the
sphere of venture and bright young men
manage all the departments of commer
cial enterprise. The-schools and colleger
are by .no means an incident in the
march of affairs. .A most praise worthy
efficiency prevails thruout all education
al .centers. Moral reform has reached ah
altitude that is high and healthy. [Be
fore the open salloon and bar cam dese
crate the face and form of this virgin
land the state constitution of North
Dakota must "be changed, and Governor
Burke a worthy son of the Catholic
•church, is driving, out herds of swine
.from the "blind pig" pens and as with
demon-blinded .passion they are dashing
into the aby** and are being destroyed
in the sea of an intense public opinion
and christian temperance conviction.
But zones, "frigid, temperate amd tropi
cal have no atmospheric ingredient that
makeB for {righteousness and godly
.piety. Oriental passivity and occiden
tal activity have in them no regenera
ting specific. Whether infested with
vermin or invested with ermine, flesh
is flesh and human nature is human na
ture on both.sides of the meridian. And
so the prophet, the fire born, fire bap
tised prophet .of iGod, is an indefensible
factor. His personal protest to land
logged, money-mad materialism is here
as everywhere the message that must
peal forth with the clarion cry and
thunder-toqg.ued passion of the man of
Calvary and the Hisen Christ. His pro
phetic promisje, pregnant with hopes of
iglorious destiny must lift the multitude
from the dead level of the perishable,
from the slopes of the better to the
highest and healthiest summits of the
best. The church .of all denominations
in enlisting the best and the brightest
of her young men, who are manning all
the strategic points of the ever expand
ing west and under the leadership of
Imimanuel, ere the sun of this generation
dips the horizon, this land of appalling
responsibility and appealing opportun
ity may be tropical with the foliage,
floriage and fruitage of the Qlorions
Gospel of the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
