Manga manniskor bli, om man far tro en engelsk tidskrift, fattiga af fol-jande orsaker: Dc tro att manniskorna aro skyldi-ga att foda dem. Dc lata liitt lura sig af projektmakare. De vanda om den gamla satsen: "Arbete forst, nojet sedan." De hafva alltfor manga och for kost-samma nojen. De hafva kastat bort en siiker ut-komst under forsoket att bli rika foit.

De lata vanner begagna sig af de-fas hygglighet och frikostighet. De forsoka att gora hvad andra v'zn-ta af dem. icke hvad de ktinna astad-komma. De gora icke i dag hvad de mojligi-vis kunnua skjuta upp till i morgon. De tro inte att det lonar modan att satta upp ofverenskommelser och ai-tal skriftligt.

De satta allt pa ett kort, da d-i inte aro i tillfalle att ofvervak'i elkr kontrollera saken. De tanka att det blir tids nog att lagga af nagot for den onda tiden. da den onda tiden ar inne. Pa. $750 om aret forsoka de att tafia i lefnadssiitt med grannen som h.ir $2,500.

Till detta der engelske forfatiavcr, forklarande punkter skulle vi kunna lagga annu en: De hafva inte varit tillrackligt for siktiga i valet af sina foriildrar. gfRon circles NEXT CONVENTION About June 1, the executive committee will decide a place for the next convention of the conference Luther League.

In regard to the article in the last issue of the K.

Y. L. concerning the exact time of organization, or rather, reorganization of the Idaho Spring's Luther League. I wish to say that the "misleading statement" was not made by any one in Idaho Springs, or by any one of the League's present members. Our Luther League was reorganized in October 1907.

Miss Hanna Engberg was here at the time, and got the younger members of the church interested in League work. We have worked hard ever since to keep up the interest for church work among the young people, and to keep the church open. Being without a pastor a great deal of the time, we have met with many discouragements. But a year after our reorganization we had purchased a new organ for the congregation, and by Christmas, 1909, we expect, with the help of the Ladies' Aid, and God willing, to have cleared the three hundred dollar debt still remaining on the church property. The Rev.

G. P. Williams was with us from July 5th until Dec. 3 of th year 1908, when he departed for Colorado Springs. The Rev.

Hanson of Monson, Iowa, has accepted the call Herre foroka oss tron. Gif mig den tro, som vagar sta Uppa dit ord och lita pa Att om ock jord och himmcl far. Sa stai ditt ord orubbligt Gif mig den tro, som skolden bar Mot jritan och hans hela Att hvarje pil, som riktas mot Mitt hjiitta, faller till min lor. Gif mig den tro, som starker mig Att alska, tjana, ara dig Och for din rakning redo sta Att villigt dina vagar ga. Gif mig den tro, som haller ut Frimodig intill stridens slut, Som gar framat i Herrens kraft Och Iitar pa hvad Gud har sagt.

Gif mig den tro, som skadar opp Mot himlen med frimodigt hopp; Som skattar hogst hvad den ej ser, Ty det. som syns, ar snart ej mer. J. E..
