ORIGIN OP WHITSUNDAY OR
PENTECOST
The original feast of Pentecost
was instituted by God as a me
mortal of the day on which He
gave the law to Moses, and de
clared the Israelites "a peculiar
treasure, a kingdom of priests,
and an holy nation," But the
prominent character of the day
was that of a soleniu harvest fes
tival. On the morro wof the Sab
bath, fifty days before, -the first
cut sheaf of corn was offered to
God, waved before the altar, with
supplication for a blessing on the
harvest then commenced. On the
day of Pentecost two loaves of the
first bread made from the new
corn were offered (with appointed
burnt-offerings). In thanksgiving
for the harvest now ended.
It was on this day that the Holy
Ghost descended to sanctify a new
Israel, that they, too, might be ."a
chosen generation, a royal priest
hood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people;" and this separation of a
new Israel from the world began
to be made when three thousand
were added to the church by bap
tism on the first day of Pente
cost. On this day also the "corn
of wheat" (which had fallen on
the ground and died on the day of
the PasBover, and had sprung up
a new and perpetual sacrifice to
God on Easter day) sent forth the
Holy Ghost to make those fire
thousand the "one bread" of the
Lord's mystical body, a first fruits
offering to God of the church
which had been purchased with

It's Time to
CLEAN THINGS UP
Next week will see an organized effort on the part of Alliance citizens to clean up the
yards, alloys, and streets, as well as paint up the old, disreputable-looking buildings
that have been needing paint for long months.
It is the wish of the city officials that this be done for the general good that will re
sult in the appearance of the town. Alliance has been in the city class in size for some
years and should keep up its appearance in true city style.
For your convenience in selecting paints we have charts showing different colors, plain
and in combinations, as well as personal advice based upon years of experience. We
handle only reputable merchandise that we are confident will please you.
This is the proper time to make those little repairs that you have been planning for
weeks and have never taken the time to get to them. Call up right now, order the lum
ber you want and do the work yourself if you can't get a carpenter.
