was nor-imply a prayer for blessing,
for heir, tor growth, but that through
Itoaaa things their churches might
grrow and- gat the Knowledge of
Christ, tbat their families might be

and 'bat their sons and daughters

Chnrch. Thera waa silent prayer,
there was prayer in tbe songs that
we-*» snog, and then in closing tbere
waa an altar service in wbiob every-
oaoat the alter prayed aloud. Oon-
-nsiOB? Not a bit of it. Hysterical
excitement? Only an occasional sob
or subdued groan. There wss no
ofcance for show. It was prayer in
dead earnest and wben a person is
talking aloud in prayer, one can be
pretty sore tbat hie. mind is not
wandering off on otber things. Tbe
leader said in closing, "Cod has been
apeaklng to us bere and we bave
talked with him bere, but we cannot
atsor here all tbe time there/are other
ways in wbich God will speak to ue
today and we mast liow dismiss.
^Although our bodies will leave tbis
altar, our hearts and our spirits wil
still be bare" And it indeed seemed
aaif the hearts of the people were at
the attar all during the day. We met
again for the devotional hoar at 8:30-
ond Dr. Campbell brought ns a very
£ helpful message from the story of the
'-tranaflguation of : Jeasus on th e
Mount. * The disciples wanted to stay
there but Jeaus sent them down the
-mountain to their brethren again, bn
he himself went with them. He tben
roompared ' the conference iu the

* to go down into tbe valley to flgbt
\ there with sin and that Jeans would
|go with us. This" meeting closed at
110 o'clock.
p-5" At 10:20 we again assembled for tbe
I Conference sermon by Bishop Lewis
which was vary nplifting. His sermon merged into the ordination
^-aervice at which seven men were ordained as elders and thirteen were
ordained deacons. I wonder if ln
America an ordination service was
over conducted In which a Baptist
preacher was one of those wbo laid
aim hand in bies-ing on tbe heads of
tbe candidates? Tbat is wbat took
plaee here and it ee-emed very fitting
indeed, especially since that worthy
veteran of tbe service of the Cross at
.home sbouid be ont here spending his
mgtb in -helping these new re-
•miss to a new and better idea of tbe
serviee wbich they were joining.
pTbis eervice closed at 12:30.

Again met at the chnrcb for another
prayer service led by one of the
Chinese teacher* in the School of

foreigners attended the service of the

Bishop Lewie gave a splendid sermon,

session'began at 7:30 and waa

GRANGE LEADER
Preached Some Good Doctrine
At National Meet.
SAt tbe 53d National Grange meeting at Grand Rapids last week.
National Master Oliver Wilson told
the assembled Grangers some sensible things. Radicalism, un-Amer.can-
ism and reckless extravagance be
characterized " as great peril* ' now
confronting as. He declared tbat
'unless the people awaken to the
dangers confronting ns, more serious
catastrophies, may ensue. The demand for shorter boors on tbe part
of certain cleases of labor was declared to be indefensible. On tbe
contrary he urged more and harder
work to cure many of oux# national
ills.
"Ho man," he declared, "who ia
not -willing to learn the Englteb
angnage and to become a real citizen
of the United States, onght to be permitted to stay bere. If he loves his
native tongue and his native land
better tban oars, we don't want him."
"One of tbe imperative necessities
of today is tbe potting of emphasis
npon tbe sacred rights of property as
opposed to tbe wild orgy of radicalism, nationalization and anarchy
wbicb are sweeping the land and
threatening to destroy every industry,
every farm and every borne."
Tbe sole remedy for present conditions, Mr. Wilson contends, is for
everyone to go to work aud keep at
work. ' ' .-•- *.-■•

erable territory tbey visited Secretary
Marston, of tbe Northeastern Michigan development bureau and in discussing Micbigan farms, one of them
said, "Do you know, Marston, tbe
way most of you fellows np here farm
is a joke to as." He had reference to
tbe fact that on most farms he did
not find tbat measure of efficiency
tbat he himself practiced and tbat is
usual in tbe old farming districted of
his state. But he _. overlooked one
big fact that Mr. Marston was quick
to point out. _ -
"Oar farming methods may be a
joke to yo'u," be said "but to us it
looks as if tbe bigger joke ia on yon.
Ton people are trying to farm on
land tbat costs you 9350 to $450 per
acre, or for which you have to pay
rent on that valuation when you can
come up bere in Michigan and get
iand just as good or better, with
equally as good markets, for S100 to
Sl50~per acre or can buy wild land at
£20 to S25 per acre, wbich will produce a crop the first year tbat will
pay for the land and for its clearing.

Following the custom established by our fathers
nearly three hundred years ago, it is entirely fitting that
we should set apart one day in the year as Thanksgiving
Day, and that we should on that day assemble ourselves
together in our accustomed places of worship and render
hearty thanks to Almighty God for all His mercies and
blessings. " ■- - v
A year ago we rejoiced that after the- cruelties and
horrors of war peace had spread its blessed benediction j
over all the earth. We have had a year of peace. Our j 0ui;s Rurai Carrier Game After

Remember, buy and sell at yonr
gallant soldier and sailor lads have come back to us, save
those who gave up their lives in our cause. The liberties
of the world have been made secure, and the foundations
of this republic have remained unshaken. True, we Btill
have our problems to solve, for peace has its dangers no
less than war, but the good sense of the American people
has always been equal to any task which has confronted
them; and, inspired and cheered by the achievements of the
past, may we not look hopefully to the future, confident
that no emergency can arise with which we shall be unable
to cope,? Let us give ourselves in earnest to the task of
building a better state and a better nation.
Therefore, I, Albert E. Sleeper, Governor of the State
of Michigan, do hereby join the President of the United
in designating "Thursday, tEe tweniyseventh day of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer
; ALBERT JE. SI-l-JSPJiR,
Governor.
If we are to accept the press reports, the Secretary of labor stood "~
side by side with Mr. Gompers, insisting in substance tbat, notwithstanding the unlawful conduct of
these strike leaders, tbe strong arm
of the law should not be exercised to
restrain them.
Republican- and Democrats alike -
Should unite in sastaini-g the De- -
partment of Justice, not only in its
position toward the coal strike but in
its efforts to round up _ the reds aod -
radicals for deportation. It is a sad -"
commentary upon our Governmeut ~
in the handling of this "red" menace
to have a Department of Justice ever
alert in detecting the anarchists and
alien firebrands, who ought to be
deported, and on the other hand
Department of Labor whicb is overly
nice i n deciding whether -. these
culprits sbouid be deported after being apprehended by tbe Department ~
of Justice. I have in min- that last
spring some 50 Bolshevists .. were -
gathered in at Seattle and sent to
Ellis Island for deportation. Tbe
public never read a mora encouraging itretn of news. The Department
of Labor, a few days later, according
to newspaper reports, paroied . some
20 of these radicals, and tbey received an ovation at the New York 1. VV .
W.Jieadquarters.
The' jurisdiction over deportation^"
ought to be transferred from tbe De-
pH.ru-_.ent of Labor to the Department
of Justice.
The American Federation of Labor,
in its statement to-day pledging support to the strike leaders of tbe
United Mine Workers of America,
even to the extent of defying the
Government and its courts, is guilty
of a most outrageous assult upon the
principles of American government.
There is n o longer any middle
ground- We are confronted with
this proposition: Is the American
Federation of Labor more powerful
than the Government itself? Can it
successfully defy tbe law?
I am fully consious fhat for, Mem- -
bere of Congress to unflinchingly per-
fbrm their duty to the public means
i o some , casas banishment from
pnblic life. Personally I would rather
a thousand times over be retired to
private life conscious tbat I had tried
to squarelyo-meet the issue than to be
returned to Congress and know that
at a critical time in the Nation's history 1 bad been a party to surrendering the public interests and welfare
into the hands of any organization.
Tbe right will prevail \ free government will survive. I have an abiding
faith in tbe -• intelligence of the.
American people. Thank God, these
leaders do not represent unorganised
labor nor reflect its sentiment. They
do not reflect the sentiment of the
rank and file of even organized
American labor. Thousands upon
thousands of union laborers wiil recognize tbe fallacy of this leadership
and will insist that their local unions
renounce their obligation to tho
American Federation of Labor and
proudly acclaim undivided allegiance '
to their country." A^<-:y~''*.;>•*

National Master Oliver Wilson told the assembled Grangers some sensible things. Radicalism, un-Amer.can- ism and reckless extravagance be characterized " as great peril* ' now confronting as. He declared tbat 'unless the people awaken to the dangers confronting ns, more serious catastrophies, may ensue. The demand for shorter boors on tbe part of certain cleases of labor was declared to be indefensible. On tbe contrary he urged more and harder work to cure many of oux# national ills. "Ho man" he declared, "who ia not -willing to learn the Englteb angnage and to become a real citizen of the United States, onght to be permitted to stay bere. If he loves his native tongue and his native land better tban oars, we don't want him." "One of tbe imperative necessities of today is tbe potting of emphasis npon tbe sacred rights of property as opposed to tbe wild orgy of radicalism, nationalization and anarchy wbicb are sweeping the land and threatening to destroy every industry, every farm and every borne." Tbe sole remedy for present conditions, Mr. Wilson contends, is for everyone to go to work aud keep at work.

The liberties of the world have been made secure, and the foundations of this republic have remained unshaken. True, we Btill have our problems to solve, for peace has its dangers no less than war, but the good sense of the American people has always been equal to any task which has confronted them; and, inspired and cheered by the achievements of the past, may we not look hopefully to the future, confident that no emergency can arise with which we shall be unable to cope,? Let us give ourselves in earnest to the task of building a better state and a better nation. Therefore, I, Albert E.

If we are to accept the press reports, the Secretary of labor stood "~ side by side with Mr. Gompers, insisting in substance tbat, notwithstanding the unlawful conduct of these strike leaders, tbe strong arm of the law should not be exercised to restrain them. Republican- and Democrats alike - Should unite in sastaini-g the De- - partment of Justice, not only in its position toward the coal strike but in its efforts to round up _ the reds aod - radicals for deportation. It is a sad -" commentary upon our Governmeut ~ in the handling of this "red" menace to have a Department of Justice ever alert in detecting the anarchists and alien firebrands, who ought to be deported, and on the other hand Department of Labor whicb is overly nice i n deciding whether -. these culprits sbouid be deported after being apprehended by tbe Department ~ of Justice. I have in min- that last spring some 50 Bolshevists .. were - gathered in at Seattle and sent to Ellis Island for deportation. Tbe public never read a mora encouraging itretn of news. The Department of Labor, a few days later, according to newspaper reports, paroied . some 20 of these radicals, and tbey received an ovation at the New York 1. VV . W.Jieadquarters. The' jurisdiction over deportation^" ought to be transferred from tbe De- pH.ru-_.ent of Labor to the Department of Justice. The American Federation of Labor, in its statement to-day pledging support to the strike leaders of tbe United Mine Workers of America, even to the extent of defying the Government and its courts, is guilty of a most outrageous assult upon the principles of American government. There is n o longer any middle ground- We are confronted with this proposition: Is the American Federation of Labor more powerful than the Government itself? Can it successfully defy tbe law? I am fully consious fhat for, Mem- - bere of Congress to unflinchingly per- fbrm their duty to the public means i o some , casas banishment from pnblic life. Personally I would rather a thousand times over be retired to private life conscious tbat I had tried to squarelyo-meet the issue than to be returned to Congress and know that at a critical time in the Nation's history 1 bad been a party to surrendering the public interests and welfare into the hands of any organization. Tbe right will prevail \ free government will survive. I have an abiding faith in tbe -• intelligence of the. American people. Thank God, these leaders do not represent unorganised labor nor reflect its sentiment. They do not reflect the sentiment of the rank and file of even organized American labor. Thousands upon thousands of union laborers wiil recognize tbe fallacy of this leadership and will insist that their local unions renounce their obligation to tho American Federation of Labor and proudly acclaim undivided allegiance ' to their country."
