prophesy of the wracng of Christ.
Christ was indeed a subject cf projpa-

"Christ was wonderful ln bin char-
acter. One of his characteristics
wish to mention was his sitnlesstiAas.
He was the sinless son of G-txl. The
Savior denounced sin and he treated
all n lie a eis if they were sinners. He
taughi' hiis subjects to pray daily for
the forgiveness of sin. The Soai, at
no instance mentioned a single lime

ve. Nothing Is being left undone to
hasten martners ao ,that the sajcoessful
IKMitios may get upon the land to time
to plaint the spring crop.
"I hope that we may be able to no-
tify the suooessful bidders of their a-
wards by Fehrurary 1st," said Pudge
J. W. Wfctea, chief of the legal de-
partment, of the general Viitiid office
at Washington, in charge. "However,
it (is impossible for me to calculate the
length of time that will be necessary
for the secretary of the interior to
devote to the awarding. As this mat-
ter is in the hands of Secretary Hitch-
cock, it was uuneoesaary for him to
make amy rules regulating the meth-
od to be used by him in selee'ftig the
list of those who will secure land."
"Nome of the bidders have by their
bid e.j.m.ed any tracts as their first or
seaond ch ilce, so the secrctory has
no way of knowing which on/- of tlie
tracts the bidder would raithem pur-
chase. In many cases it is not the one
that the bl<lde.r bids the higheat on
that would be his first choice. There
will be two items to be canisidered,
when the .time of awarding is reach-
ed. The first one is to expedlaite
time and the o,thor is to g«t the most
ra.ia-y out of .the sale for the Indi-
ans thait is iwasible. I do not think
the secretary will ada«pt any tedious
compariscai of all bids. The secretary
reserves the right to reject tuny and
all bids and the rules regulating the
awarding have not been made public."
"By January 17th we expect to have
the work all completed tit the law-
ton end of tha line. Each day tile
bulk of the bids road the previous dey
are sent to Washington, and by the
time the last bids reach Washington,
they will all be tabulaVd ixid retidy
for the awarding. Nine hours a day
