Subject of Baccalaureate Sermon Deliv
ered by Bev. X.. Oade Xkast
Sunday Evening1.
Th baccalaureate sermon delivered
to the Senior class of the Willma High
School by Rev. L. W. Gade was an
effort which deeply impressed the large
audience who gathered at the Presby
terian church last Sunday night.
Rev. Gade's subject was "Ideals, In
spiration and Integrity," and ne used as
his text the 25th chapter of Matthew
and 21st verse and dwelt at some length
on the portion of this verse reading,
'Well Done." He then congratulated the
members of. this class on having reach
ed the point in their education, that of
completing- their course in the high
school, and then spoke of the advan
tages in educational lines which were
offered to the young: people of today.
"The life that surpasses, that suc
ceeds, that wins, must have before it
an Ideal. Good old George Herbert said,
"Aim at the stars and you may reach
the tree tops." You must place your
ideal far, far beyond you. A man's reach
exceed his grasp, or what's heav
en for? Your ideal whatever it a
be, must be as dear to your heart as
life itself. You love your ideal
with something like the devotion of the
great Angelo, when in his youthful days
he loved to caress the statue of Her
cules. You never suffer anything
to lower your ideals, for when once low
ered they depart, and you never strug
gle after anything better. Let your
Ideal be the better angel of your na
ture, the dominant passion of your soul
ever leading you to the highlands of
intellectual and moral attainment.
"There must be something more than
well developed, finely polished powers
in order to succeed in life—there must
be Inspiration. A magnificent locomo
tive glittering- in massive grandeur is
useless unless there be propelling- power
within. Developed strength is practic
ally useless unless there be the desire
within to use that strength for the
right. A man's life is useless if there
be no executive power."
"Above every other quality you must
possess moral uprightness. Mere in
tellectual culture never did and never
can establish moral character. It never
did elevate the morals of a people. You
possess integrity of character and
honesty of heart if you would prove a
blessing to the world.
"The great teacher said: 'Blessed are
the pure in heart.* 'Keep thy heart
with all diligence for out of it are the
issues of life.' 'As a man thinketh in
his heart so he is.'
Request for Closing.
Whereas, Decoration Day, May 30th,
has been designated as a National Holi
day, and
Whereas it is fitting that every Am
erican citizen should on that day honor
the memory of the departed Civil Wa
veterans and join in with the surviving
patriots to observe the day in a fitting
manner
Now, therefore, I, E. C. Wellin, May
or of the City of Willmar, respectfully
request that all business houses and of
offices be closed at noon on that day as
far as practicable.
Given under my hand and seal this
27th day of May, A. D. 1913.

a Sunday morning Col. Pos
G. A. R., with their beautiful national
colors, marched to the Presbyteria
church in a body. Rev. L. W. Gade
preached the memorial sermon and in
the course of his remarks said:
I am glad to speak to you soldiers
of the Rebellion in commemoration of
our soldier dead:—of the patriotism of
those who fell in battle by your side.
Thi is a time for sentiment, a time for
flowers, a time for tears. I is because
of you men and your comrades dead that
our Union stands one and undivided.
ad it not been for the heroism of you
men Ne Ultr a would have been
inscribed on our country's future.
I have an optimistic view of this re
public. I do not believe with some a
the seeming spirit of unrest is pushing
us toward the verge of ruin. I do not
believe with those who are wont to say
that this republic is fast running its
course. I believe in this country—it is
yet in its infancy, and its greater and
grander day is yet to come. And as
the men of the Sixties went with
the blood of the revolutionary fathers
coursing through their veins, so should
a foe arise within or without threaten
ing the vitals of this Union, the men
of this day with thfe blood of the fath
ers of the Civil a coursing through
their veins, would go' forward to give
their life's blood to was every stain
from the stars and stripes of Old Glory.
I a you old soldiers to know that
you are not going to be forgotten. Your
sacrifices are going to be remembered.
Rest assured that your deeds of hero
ism will be received by preached and
poet and orator, until time shall be no
more. And each recuring spring-time,
when the birds sing and the flowers
bloom, the children of this generation,
and of generations yet unborn, with
tender and affectionate hands, will gath
er earth's sweetest and fairest flowers
and twine them into wreath of love and
garlands of beauty in memory of the
brave men who faced the frowning bat
tle's front.
"Than God, this is a united country,
saved from wreck and ruin by the sold
iers of the Rebellion. There are no ani
mosities between Nort arid South, sec
tionalism and strife are gone and the
nation's discord is silenced into peace."

What Xiobnitz Thinks.
Ther is no doubt but that the pub
lishers have more than fulfilled their
promises when they a the Kandi
yohi County History. I am sure there is
not one of those who contributed to the
work and helped it along, who is not
satisfied and well pleased with the book.
There ought to be a copy in every home
in the County, and of all who are inter
ested in the community. The book is
an attraction whenever you have visit
ors. Ever library ought to have one. I
am surprised that all the books are not
sold yet and cannot see how Mr. Law
son can sell them for $7.50.

Keynote of Bev. J. H. Andersen in Ser
on Addreued to Graduates of
the Willmar Seminary.
Rev. J. N. Andersen delivered the bac
calaureate sermon to the Senior class of
the Willma Seminary at the Synod
Luthera church last Sunday evening.
Rev. Andersen had chosen as his text,
Roman 1-16: I am not ashamed cf tire
Gospel of Christ for it is the power of
God unto salvation to everyone that ue
lieveth." Rev. Andersen first defined
what is meant by the "Gospel." I
no be confounded with the Golden Rule,
although that is a splendid rule. Th
speaker showed at is meant to confess
Christ in the days of the Apostle and
how the young people of our day are
particularly exposed to the temptation
of being ashamed of the Gospel of
Christ.
"Many will say, forget and deny for
get that there is an eternity, forget
about death deny the voice of con
science in your bosom. Or they tell
'Do the best you can and at is all at
is necessary*. my friends, none of
these things will satisfy the troubled
soul, who asks 'Wha shall I do to be
saved?' Bu the message at God loves
us that he sent his Son to die for us,
that message is the power of God unto
salvation. at believes the Gospel
experiences its power in this life and
has a sure hope for the future."

The Playford Cement Stave Silo
On C. O. BERGQUIST FARM
AFTER THE FIRE
WHAT BERGQUIST HAS TO SAY.
To Whom It May Interest:
Last spring I was solicited to buy a Playford Cement Stave Silo. But like many of my neigh
bors I had heard so much unfavorable talk in regard to it that I would not have a Playford Silo for
a gift. However, I have a friend who, instead of listening to wood silo agents and Institute lecturers,
had learned what the facts were, and he never left me alone until finally I promised him I would buy
one. I did buy a Playford Silo and erected same inside the barn, having been told that was the thing
to do, and I have no regrets today that I did buy that kind of silo. The silo did all that the makers
claimed for it, and when my barn burned it went thru as severe a test as it probably ever will be called
on to go thru. The intense heat on the outside actually loosened and warped some of the hoops and
they fell out of place, and when the roof fell into the silo the heat was just as fierce there. It is a
wonder to me that with such heat inside and outside the thin walls could stand up at all. When the
flames had done their work the only things left were the iron stanchions and the Playford Cement
Stave Silo. The manufacturers have now put on some new hoops and adjusted some of the old ones,
and when the silo is re-coated with the cement wash inside it will, in my opinion, be as good as ever.
It seems queer that an article like this shall have to fight as hard for recognition as this silo has
to do. Right here in Kandiyohi county, we, friends and neighbors of those who are sponsors for it,
were more willing to listen to strangers coming around and misrepresenting it than to the friends at
home. I have no ax to grind in this matter. No favors have been asked of me. I was simply asked
if I was willing to make a statement, and I said, "Certainly." If a man has allowed himself to be mis
led in regard to a matter and finds it out, he should be glad to set matters right. Besides, I feel that
if I can turn anyone from buying a wood or brick silo to a Playford Cement Stave Silo, I feel that
