yi-n PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
Senator Owen opened debate
on the currency measure Tues
day bv admitting that some pro
visions of the bill drafted by Sen
alor Hitchock were preferable to
some of the provisions of his own
draft. It is yet hard to tell as to
when the bill will pass, or
whether it will pass at all.

There is nothing' that inspires
a teacher to greater effort with
our children than the hearty co
operation of pupils and parents
with the teachers in making the
school surroundings ideal. A
slighting remark about- the
teacher ami her methods lessens
that teacher's influence with the
pupil and thereDy impairs her
usefulness.

When the last liar was heard
from eggs were only 'JO cents a
dozen in New York. The whole
sale prices in New York last Sat
urday were: Fresh gathered
extra, ii to 16 cents; seconds, 33
and US cents. It is unreasonable
t believe that a retailer would
seek to make more than 10 cents
a dozen.
:o:
The elimination of junketing
trips at the expense of the state
by state otlicials and the doing
away of about a dozen state
boards that arc useless, is one
way of saving the taxpayers
money, says Governor Morehead.
And in this the governor will have
the support of a big majority of
the people of the state.
:o:
The present primary law is a
big nuisance and should be
abolished. And the more familiar
the voters become with it the
more they think it is almost a
complete failure. The voters of
neither parly turn out as they
should to vote for their choice
for parly candidates. It has been
tried long enough to demonstrate
its failure.
However rapidly the world is
going to the dogs, in the opinion
of sunn, people, it is permissible
to believe that the white slave
scare, for one thing-, has been
Considerably overdone. Some
sensational assertions hae been
made regarding conditions in
England, and it has been said
English girls were not safe in
their homes. A lurid novel by
Elizabeth Hobins describes the
kidnapping of a young girl, to be
sure, but a woman writer in the.
English Review shows that there
was not one authentic white
slavery case in the whole of Eng
land last year.
:o:
The railway accident record of
Ibis country is not growing
worse. It is growing better. The
railroad managements are not
responsible for the large num
ber of trespassers killed on their
properties. Excluding- trespas
sers, the total number of persons
killed in live years, 1903-1007,
inclusive, according to the
statistics of the inter-state
commission, was 25,083. In the
second half of this decade, be
ing the years 11)08-1912, in
clusive, the total fatalities were
22,817, an absolute reduction of
twelve and one-half per cent less.
The mileage of the railways, the
number of their employes, the
number of trains run, the pas
sengers and freight IralTic hand
led, and the number of persons
who -used the highways which
cross their lines at grade, steadi
ly increased, yet in the lir.t five
year period the average number
killed annually was 3.210, while
in f he second period Ihe average
number killed was only i,5G3.

lines that promise perpetuation
of the joys of this most sacred
place? Arc the scenes and sur
roundings of their lives such as
to make it easy and natural to
travel in those paths that lead to
long and continued peace? Are
not some of the so-called best
parents llioushllessly teaching
their wee ones dishonesty and
falsehood, and by their examples
establishing idleness and frivolly
as the summum-bonum of life?
The parent who makes threats he
does not intend to fulfill, is
planting seeds of untruthfulness
in the youth's mind, that if it
does not yield a crop of false
hood, will one of disrespect for

President Wilson has been urged
to be present for the tests and is
seriously considering making the
trip. It was learned yesterday
that after the fall maneuvers off
Ouantanamo last year the entire
fortifications and canal lock
masks were reconstructed after
the naval oflicers had made their
report
Even the morlars, which

those held last fall. Day and
night attacks oft the canal will be
made. The lleet oflicers from the

the deck, will direct the attack.
ihe fortifications were recon-
structed particularly to guard
against a night attack of an in-

CO. Pastor Itussell
spoke here twice
today. We report
one of his themes.
from the test, "Ho

whole earth shall
be full of His glo-
ry. (Isaiah G:.s.)
He spoke without

- ,1
(FASTQg. gU5SELLll saying in part:
liiee snoriiy an-
er the Second Cenlury tlie Christian
Church has been gradually fed Into a
total misconception of the Divine char-
acter as manifested in the Divine atti-
tude toward humanity. Little by little
heathenish doctrines respecting an
eternity of torture for all except the
saintly, favored few, were preaclud.
Gradually men with fervent spirit en-
farged upon the errors until today the
most horrible descriptions of tlie Al-
mighty God are printed hi Christian
publications, creeds, commentaries, etc.
No heathen people have ever pictured
their god in so devilish a light. Ugly.
fierce, devilish, though their idols be.
they cannot compare with the Satanic
descriptions which Christians in the
creeds of the Dark Ages have given of
the Gol of all Grace and Father of
Mercies. 1 Corinthians 1:3.
The noblest and best people In Chris-
tendom have abandoned the horrible
teachings of their fathers, and are
more and mare worshiping the God of
Love, the Fountain of blessings. Hut
the world still Judges our God by our
printed misrepresentations of Him. In
heathen lands, the missionaries are
more blinded, perhaps, than ministers
In tlie home land. The rein of ortho
doxy is more tightly drawn on them.
No wonder they can make little im
pression on the heathen, who openly
declare that they could not worship so
unjust and vicious a God as the luis-
sionaries present a God who has al-
ready sentenced their forefathers to
everlasting torture, because of their ig
norance of Jesus. In whose name alone
is salvation!
It appears to me, therefore, that to
whatever extent any Intelligent Chris
tian today gives open or secret sup-
port to these slanderous, blasphemous
statements, of the creeds he is responsi-
ble. Nor does it seem to be sutlicient
that either a Christian or n congrega-
tion here and there should privately
disown these doctrines. Denomination-
al names stand as representative or
the doctrines which led to the forma-
tion of these denominations. Would
not the only honorable way of rectify-
ing matters now be either as denom-
Inations, publicly, openly and In round
terms, to repudiate the slanders of the
Deity; or, since this would be tedious
work, should not each individual set
himself straight by as public a with
drawal from such creeds as was his
endorsement in joining? The latter
surely is the surest and quickest meth
od of rectifying the diiliculty. More
over, it is the right method; for the
Bible never authorized any one to or
ganize various sects and parties.
The rible recognizes only the one
Church of Christ "Tlie Church of the
First-borns, written in Heaven." Ev
ery one who has accepted Christ ns
his Savior and consecrated his life to
Je a footstep follower of Je.-us all
such, begotten of the Holy Spirit, are
members of the one true Church.
Their names are Avrltten in the Lamb's
Pook of Life, and they have the prom
ise that they will be granted abundant
entrance into His Kingdom in the
First IU-surrection Jf they abide faith
ful, "lie thou faithful unto death, and
I will give thee a crown of life.'

Ar.rtlf Paul's explanation,
lie wrote prophetically. "I fear, lest
bv anv means, as the serpent beguiled
Eve through his subtlety, so your
in.io iw,i.i !., corrupted from the
c!,ni!Mtr ii la in Christ." (2 Corln-
Ihlans 113) This is exactly what has
hoAnened'. The Church of Christ has
bsen beguiled by earthly favors, not
only into a wrong attitude toward the
kingdoms of this world, but. as M-
Paul declares, from the simplicity or
the Truth Into a mass of confuting
and blasphemous error.
c-fref cm the becuiliec of the bi'h-
.i.:i l,if thor tierp stir-
cessors to The Twelre Apostle and I
i ; v. ) !
squally Inspired authorities and mouth
pieces of Christ. Thus the doctrine of
Apostolic Succession wns gradually es
tablished. Jesus prophesied of these,
leseriblng them as false apostles,
"which say they are apostles and are
not," but do fie. (lievolation 2:2.) As
the bishops received credit as being
ilving Apostles, the Inspired word of
Jesus and The Twelve Apostles whom
Lie appointed took second place, and
irith the masses llible study ceased as
wholly unnecessary.
Upon this foundation, the great Ad
versary built, item by Item, the ter
rible doctrines of purgatory and of
eternal torture. When finally. In the
Sixteenth Century, the Iiible again
began to be consulted. Satan so work
el matters that some of our forefa
thers retained the Hell of Indescribable
torture for nil except the elect feu-
repudiating because not Scriptural the
only ameliorating feature the purga
torial theory.
Their e yes blinded with the errors of
fourteen centuries of no III Me study
the errors of human theories and doc
trines of demons can we wonder that
the enlightenment of the past three
centuries has come very slowly? Even
when we were petting free from the
errors. Satan, cur wily foe, cntropied
our forefathers Into the making of
creeds, ami thus hindered further pro
ress out of the darkness Into the H-'ht,
for which we all cry out.
"Lead, Kindly Light, Amid the En
circling Gloom!"
The seducing spirits mentioned by
St. Paul are surely none others than
the fallen angels, of whom Satan Is
the chief, or "pdrice of devils." As St.
Paul suggests, there Is a similarity

And now note the parallel. The se-

sought to perpetuate In the Church

Mother Eve. And they have sneeed

.The Pastor's Thanksgiving.
On Thursday last, when my heart
went out to God In spo-dal tlianks-jlr
ing for all the mercies of life. I gave
Him special thanks that gradually the
eyes of my understanding are ien!ng,
enabling me to see Him In the glorious
light of Ills great, loving Plan of Sal
vation for the church and for the
world. My thanks for all te,niornl
mercies and Messlngs were dwrirft-d
as the anthem of my siul went nj
and I repeated the text of txlny. "Holy
holy, holy. I.rd of Hosts:"
Ah! It is a blessed thought that God
has already made provision that Mes
siah's Kingdom shall be established;
that Satan shall 1 bound and shall
deceive men no more; and that, instead
of the darkness of ignorance and sujht-
gtitlon, the glorious light of God's
nxwinpss Kilan shine forth, causing the
onrth to be filled with His rralses!
with creat natlenee God has i-ermlt-
jiJs ,,nns nn,i character to 1
misrepresented and traduced. Yet we
cnu K(ie a -wisdom in this: for even-
tuallr. when all the bilnd eves shail 1
opened and all the deaf ears shall le
unstopped, when all the delusions ef the
pnst the hobcobllns of seducing spirits
nna tMp joetrines of devils shall have
pono the Lord' precious character
anJ loving provision for our fallen race
wni stand forth in glorious radiance.
Whom to Know Is Life.
The Savior declares. "This is life
eternal, that they might know The.
the only true God. and J-sus Christ.
whom Thou hast sent." (John l.i.)
Evidently He meant by this that who
ever would have an Intimate acquaint
ance with God must le reeeived aznlu
into Gd's family; that those who d
not come bark Into ;od's family will
never know Him in the true sense of
the word 1 able to appreciate the
glories of His grand chara ter His
Justice, His Wisdom. His Power and
His Ixjve. Su h knowledge is impart
ed only to those brought into the fam
ily and made partakers of G.I Spirit.
In the present time only a very few
of our fallen rare are able to take tii
steps which lead to this intense, deep
knowledge of Jehovah. Ihe great
mass of mankind are blinded by It.h
rancc. suerslitioii and the weaknse-
f their fallen nature. I'.ut od 1 iet
cortent that merely the i.ct miron
shall have this knowledge of Him and
this opportunity f-r everlasting lire.
