Nash of Bozeman was a Hardin visitor last week Amos Lafon was a tillings visitor the fore part of the week. Dr. Lourrence or the Agency was a Hardin visitor Sunday eve- ning. Gus fhompson made a business trip to Billings the first part of the week. Marcus McKay of Roberts, this state, was in the valley last week looking after his interests. Mrs, Peter Brummel and , children departed for their form- er home in Nebraska, last week. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Null and Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Scott were Billings visitors over Sunday. Bill Lovel and Roy McEvoy were rubbering through the streets of Billings Saturday. Henry Small and Miss Mattie Williams of the Crow Agency were callers in Hardin Sunday evening. A number of the Hardinites attended the shiney game played by the Indians, and others, across the river last Sunday. Bill Porter, brother-in-law of W. a' Ebling, who has been visiting here a number of days, returned to his home at Manhat- tan Sunday. Gus Thompson was called to Bozeman last week on account of the death of his sister, who passed away at that place on Tuesday at the hospital directly following an operation. Mrs. Rodewald and son Will- iam, and grandaughter Miss Mable Anderson accompanied by Mrs. Jas. Reid arrived here from Kansas City, Tuesday evening and plan on making Hardin their home. Mrs. Rodewald is Mrs. Anderson's mother Near Lo-isiana lives a young man who has a sister named Jessie, who was sent to a fash- ionable boarding school. When she went he remarked that he hoped she wouldn't acquit* any of the affectations so often learn- ed in that place. For a year he had no fault to find upon that score. Then came a letter sign- ed \Jessica.\ He replied as fol- lows: \Dear Sister Jessica. Your welcome letter received. Your mamaica and papaica are well, Aunt Maryica and Georgica started to California yesterday. I have' bought a new horsica. It is a beau tica. Its name is Maudica. Your brother Samica.\ Her next letter was signed \Jessie.\ —Ex. Easter Sermon on Immortality 41111••••••• Text, John 11:25: \Though he were dead yet shall he live.\ By Rev. W. H. I. Marshall During the Easter season our minds are naturally turn- ed toward the resurrection and life hereafter. The text definitely brings before us the thought of life hereafter, or of immortality. Though he were dead yet shall he live. And it is this question of immortality that I want to deal with briefly. Next to belief in God and Jesus Christ, I believe belief in immortality is most important. As we come face to face with the ques,on, \Does death end all?\ or \If a man die shall he live ' we aie face to face with a question that touches tte most vital part of our being, and effects the foundatioi. uon which the whole of our life and character is built The question is then \If a man die shall he live again,\ and the text answers in the affirmative. The time was when the answer here given was all that was required and de- manded. Men were willing tabase their faith on the mere statement of sacred tradition. Tradition declared that Jesus said he shall' live and that settled it without question. They believed in immortality because they had been taught to believe sacred tradition and not because they had rea- soned the matter out for themselves. Their faith was like the faith hi a little child, never criticising, never calling in- to question. There are many today who still rest their faith upon tradition. They believe what they believe because tradition has taught it, and we must not underestimate the value of such a faith, even though we believe it is not the highest type. But most men are not satisfied with the bare statement of tradition, even though it be sacred tradition. They want to have a reason for the faith that is within them. They want that their faith should be justified by reason and experience. And it is well that they do, for faith that is not backed up by reason is apt to degenerate into pure superstition. But the majority of men today are not willing to believe even the great doctrine of immortality simple because the bible teaches it. They want to have their faith substantiated by reason and experience. In other words they want to take the teachings or the bible and crit- icise it and try and find out if there be any reasonable ground for accepting its statement or in other words, if its state- men a are in aarmony with what reason and nature teach us. So the question that confronts us is this,' what reason have we for believing \Though a man die yet shall he live.\ I. First because there is a certain indistructability in things, that seems to point to immortality. Socrates was the first to discover this. Smite as you may you can destroy nothing %-the-world; not even a single atom. The wood burns but the ashes, smoke and gasses liberated make up exactly the original bulk. There is nothing destroyed. Only the form of existance has been changed. The tree falls and decays but does not perish. Its form changes but not an atom is lost. The wind and rain may carry the atoms of that tree from one end of the universe to the other. Plants may feed on this decayed vegetable matter and take up many of its atoms into their life but still the tree livgs on though its form is changed. There is not an atom less6n the world today than there ever was. Matter cannot be destroyed, only its form can be changed. Now thought, or mind is greater than matter. Watts' thought that planned and built an engine is inconceivably \greater than the atoms of matter it organized into the engine. Think of the great bulk of thought in the life of every man, yet no sage or scientist can give his power of thought over to his fellow man or to his children. His wis- dom departs with him. The question is then does all the vast treasure of thought perish when the atoms persist? Does God care for atoms and make trees abide, though their form changes; but brings to nought the mind and heart and soul of man, or the real man which loves and laughs and aspires and plans? When matter persists can mind or soul which is the greatest controlling power over matter perish? No! Though a man dies yet shall he live. II. In the second place reason finds a fair token of immortality in the contrast •setween the growth into maturity or perfection of material things and that of man a mind or soul. Going in the field the scholar notes that once the peach or pear tree has born' leares, btossoms and fruit, it has filled its highest end and reached the limit of its being. In the ripened fruit both the trunk and the roots of the tree have touched their climax, have reached their perfection. Though the tree should tive for centuries. the years could bring it to this alone, leaf and blossom arid ripen fruit. So it is with man's physical organism. When it has de - veloped strength of mussel, activity of motion and sensetive- fleas of touch his laten powers have reached their limit, and • exhausted their capasity. Though it may be satisfied with long life it can achieve nothing more. It has then reached its highest perfection, the limit of its capability. But how different it is with the soul of man. Itcan't be said concerning even the ripest scholar, that reason has touched its limit and exhaustel its capasity. An inventor like Stephenson hadn't time to work out one -tenth of his in- ventive genius. Tennyson having given his lifetime to poetry said he wished he had a like period t, devote to music art, seience and history. Every new invention g)es to show only how men begin to develop the powers with- in their mind, much less perfect them. Today's achieve- ment is only tomorrow's starting point for a future journey. The days of our years are only three score years and ten but even though they were a thousand tears yet it would not be sufficient to bring man's mental capasity to their limit. It will take an eternity to do that. We can trace the history of man hack for thousands of years and see a crradual de- velopment upward Yet today we feel that we are only be- gining to realize the mental and moral capasity wrapped up within the intellect Will the God who has given to the tree); of the field, the flowers of the dell, and all the organ- isms of nature s _time to attain its utmost perfection refuse this to the mind and soil of man which is made in his own likeness. We cannot believe it. Such time is not given in this short life. For that growth the enternal years must be OUTS. III. Another reason .why we believe in immortality is because 3od has made man to think that he should never die. God has created in man an instinct that longs for, and I seeks after immortality. This Fair Association belief in, and longing for immor- tality is universal. It is older Names Date of Fair than the words of Jesus and the days of Isreal. We can trace it through the thought of all the peoples who have inhabited the earth. There seems never to have been a time when it did not exist. The tombs of primitive man where, and whenever found have unquestionable evidence of their belief in it. The literature September 14, 15 and 16 are the Dates—J. S. Tupper Se- cures $250 From Commission- ers for Paying Premiums At a meeting of the Hardin Fair As- sociation last Tuesday evening the date of all races and times is animat- l of the fair was fixed' for September 14, ed with it. It seems to be an in -115' and 16, being Thursday, Friday stinct born in man just the same and Saturday of the week in which as his instinct to eat,or the bird's instinct to migrate. Instinct is natures way of teaching truth or foretelling coining events. By it animals seek their food, guard against possible danger and attain unto happiness and maturity. By it man when born takes his food and learns to use his body. And the remarkable thing about in- stinct is this, we seek in vain for a single instance where natures instincts have deceived beast or bird. The bird has the instinct to fly and it has the wing , to fly with, and the air to fly through and support those wings. The robin has the instinct to migrate, to leave the cold land and seek a warmer clime, there is the balmy south land to satisfy its instinct. Instinct tells the mother bird to sit upon her eggs and keep them warm and her downy family will be born. She follows instinct and her brood comes forth. Dees instinct speak truth to spi- ders and wasps and sparrows but lie to man concerning what awaits him? No! Man's in- stinct for immortality must be reckoned with. He who meets the bird wing with the air, and its migratory instinct with the south land, the desire to see with sunshine and beauty, hear with sweet • music and mel- ody, to eat with food and drink with flowing water, will likewise meet man's hunger for immor- tality with everlasting life. God will not satisfy insects and birds and leave the nobler cravings of man unsatisfied. And so we can say with Addison: It must be so Plato, thou reason- est well! Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire, This longing after immortality? Or whence this secret dread, this inward horror, Of falling into naught? Why shrinks the. soul Back on herself, and startles at destruction? 'Tis the divine that stirs within us; 'Tis heaven itself that points out an hereafter,. And intimates eternity to man. The stars shall fade away, the sun herself Grow dm with age, and nature sink in years But thou shalt flourish in immor- tal youth Unhurt amidst the wars of ele- ments, 'The wreck of matter, crash of worlds. If though a man die yet shall he live, if dust thou art to dust returnest was not spoken to the soul, if our life here is but the begining of. and a prepartion % for an everlasting life, then I ask you at this Easter season whith reminds us of the Christ who died and rose that he might be our savior, what kind of a preperation are you making? Are you living daily as those who never die? and the FOR SALE—Three good teams of work mules, three two-year old mules, one span yearling mules, all max be seen at the B J. Lammer's ranch. these dates occur. J. S. Tipper appeared before ie county commissioners in the interests of the association last week and suc- ceeded in securing the appropriation of IWO which is to be used in the paying i of premiums, making the total premium fund about $1,000. The committees on agricultural and live stock exhibits have carefully pre- pared lists of pre.niucns which will b.) published in next week's isana of the Tribune. Following this bulletins which will contain the entire premium list, including the amounts of all prem- iums paid- will be printed and distribu- ted among the ranchers and all others desiring to compete for prenximns. H. C. Null, chairman of the amuse- ment committee, is working on the amusement program and promises to give those attending the fair their moneys worth in the amusement line. He has inaugerated a guessing contest, the conditions of which app.:a,r in anota er place in this issue, in hopes to swell his finances with Which he is to procure attractions. Every member of each committee is thoroughly alive to his work s,nd is de- termined that his part of the fair, s far as he is concerned, shall be a suc- cess. To accomplish this all is needed is the co-operation of the ranchers, and this we believe we will have.
