In all the plenitude of his greatness
and with a 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

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 year for Prof Hicks journal
