COD'S ' PLAN FUR MAN'S ' LIFE Creator Has a Design for All that He Haa Given Existence ! EXPERIENCE OF SAUL OF TARSUS Convention of the Cirrnt Prviiulicr UI\CH nn IHiiNli'loiiK H vain pie of the Theme of | | l ( . .Sermon of llov. O. W. At the First Congregational church yes terday the pastor Rev. G. W. Wilson took ns the subject of his address "Every Life a Plan of God , " and his text from Acts Ix , 6 , "Lord , what wilt Thou have me to do ? " He said In part : It was a great day for Saul of Tarsus when he came to the point of asking this ques tion. It was something new for him , as this hud not been his attitude before God up to this time. He bad not been humble nor had he been looking for divine guidance In the conduct of his life. He supposed , however , that he had been living for God , and In his way he had been most active and zealous. Ho had been R very religious man according to the Ideals and tenets of the sect to which bo belonged. Ho was a 1'liarlsee of the Pharisees. Ho thought it his religious duty to persecute the Christians nnd to extermi nate the hated sect. It took n miracle- bring him to his senses and lead him to the point of consulting God about his plans. But when he did It revolutionized his whole life nnd Saul of Tarsus was changed to Paul , the apostle , the mighty man of God amonp the Gentiles. Now this great question of Saul's Is an Intensely practical one for us nil nnd when It Is honestly asked it will revolutionize many n llfo and character Then there comes another question that searches the heart as closely ns the flrDt and It comes in the same words : "Lord wbol wilt thou have me do ? " I' he Is In earnest the spirit directs him to confess his new born faith and the result Is that he openly avows himself aa n follower of Christ. Ther ns he contemplates the duties of the Chris tian life there comes another question of the heart and n life-long series of questions , nl clothed In the same famlll.ir language of the text. The bible nnd the spirit of God are given to answer this life-long question am they are our unfailing guides In the new service nnd the duties of the Christian life. As nn avowed Christian you must be deeply concerned to know what to do. How to discover what God has designed for you in this world with so many lines of activity Inviting your attention , so many possible vocations appealing to you for considera tion. When there are so many special op portunities for genuine Christian service how shall you find out what God wants ? Dr. Horace Bushnell , ono of the greatest of American preachers of the last generation , used to say : "There Is a definite and proper end for every man's existence , an end which I to the heart of God Is the good Intended for j i him or for which he was Intended ; that j I which he Is privileged to become , called to become , ought to become ; that which God will assist htm to become nnd which he cannot miss save by his own fault. " Every human soul has a complete and perfect plan cherished for It In the heart of God a dlvlno biography marked out which It enters Into life to live. " This Is a grand conception of life. It gives to every life , no matter how lowly nnd obscure Its sphere of activity , n sacrcdness and a dignity that arc ennobling , nnd Inspiring. This makes the true object j of life not simply to get on In this world nor to rise to n position that Is conspicuous nor to be great In the eyes of men , but to bo just what God meant us to be nnd to do Just what He Intended wo should do. God has a distinct plan for each one of us In sending us Into the world. Not only docs ho create us all to be useful , to take some part In the world's affairs to honor and glorify htm In come way , but he designs each person for some definite place and some specific work. He docs not send us Into llfo merely to fill any niche Into which wo may chance to be lifted by the vicissitudes of llfo or to do whatever bits of work which may drift to our hands In the vast complicated mesh of human affairs. God has a plan , em bracing all his creatures and nil their ac tions , nnd In this plan every Intelligent be ing has an allotted place and an assigned part. God has , therefore , a distinct thought and purpose for each of us and a true life Is ono In which we simply fulfill the divine Intention concerning us , occupj > the place for which we were made and do the par ticular wo k set down for us In God's plan , This seems to bo the true philosophy ol the Christian llfo when we study the perfect life of Jesus. He looked upon his life at part of the great plan of God and he came to fulllll nn appointed mission and to do the work allotted him by the Father. The splrll of his llfo Is reflected In what he said to hU disciples In Samaria : "My meat and drlnli Is to do the will of Him that sent me. " Wo need to recognlre that our lives are also a definite part of the same great plar and If wo would find our allotted place am' ' fulfill our mission wo must do God's will and not our own. In order that we maj live a llfo that Is In any true sense patterned after the life of Jesus we must lay all oui plans before God. It must be "our meal and drink" to do His will. All our persona ambitions must be laid at His feet , all oui plans submitted to Him , either to be ac cepted and wrought Into His plan or seaside aside for a better way. It wo have trul ] given ourselves to God we have nothing t < say about the disposal of our lives , they erIn < In His hands to do as he pleases. If wo an truly taking life's directions from His wi must always be ready to forego our owi schemes and plans and take Instead what j ever he allots. This Is where the hardes t < battle has to be fought , for wo are loath ti lflglve up our personal ambitions. But hov to know what to do Is an Intensely practlca question. It is Important , If this bo tbi true view of life , that we shall know Jus what God meant us to be. How shall wi find the plan for which God made us ? The blblo Is our best guide to life. It ma ; become literally a lamp unto our feet am a light unto our path. There we learn thi dlvlno will and our duty. No ono ran flni his allotted place In God's plan who doc not follow the dlvlno commandments. Ther Is no use asking about our mission miles wo are walking In the straight and cleai paths marked out by the holy scriptures And then , again , wo should remember tha special direction Is given all along the path way of lite to the man who continually list ens for the voice of God and heeds the sug gestlons nnd warnings of his own consclenci The best way to learn the dlvlno nnswe to the question contained in the text Is t give one's self to God In humble consecra d tlon , to study Ills word and listen to th " volco of Ilia spirit within.

The democrats held a powwow Saturday night and another yesterday afternoon , both meetings being In the council chamber at the city hall , which , under the present ad ministration , has been turned over to the tiemo-pope for their gathering. This , It Is understood , Is to avoid the expense of main taining party headquarters , Us the demo cratic treasury Is not as well-filled this year as It might be. The party candidates , while willing to be offered up ns lambs for tha slaughter this fall , arc none of them willing and , In fact , few of them are able , to dig down very deeply In their pockets for the honor of seeing their names printed on the ballots. The meeting Saturday night was addressed by Hev. J. H. Speck , pastor of the Central Christian church , who at the time of the presidential campaign took the stump through this county for William Jennings Bryan. He has just returned hero after spending ten months In Missouri and he told the faithful that he was obliged to admit ho was not familiar with the candidates here.

( Special. ) The taxpayers of Johnson county the pres ent year have paid Into the public treasury nearly $233,537.30 , not Including the revenue derived from the mulct tax , amounting to something over $20,000. Of this amount $24.808.43 went Into the state treasury nnd ? SSG was paid Into the building fund of the State university as the result of the one- tenth of a mill building tax. The balance , or $200,843 , to which must be added say $20,000 mulct tax , Is devoted to various pub lic purposes throughout the county , of which the public school system of the county con sumes $91,196.18. Of the total amount the Hoard of Supervisors of Johnson county levied nearly $72,000 for county purposes. This gives an Idea of the volume of business that annually passes through the hands of the ofllclals at the court house , ot whichever over $80,000 , Including the county's portion of the mulct tax , Is expended under the direction of the Board of Supervisors , who 1 superintend the collection and disbursement of the entire amount.

He told the landlord that ho expected to go to housekeeping soon and had bought the new furniture to that end and would use It In his rooms.

Grundy Republican : The partisan Wom an s Christian Temperance union has Just closed a state convention at Waterloo Au tumn la n very fit time for them to assemble. It Is In harmony with their cause.

Des Molnes Register : Judging from the manner In which that foot ball team made up of members of the Klfty-tlrst Iowa de feated the crack Stanford university team at San Francisco on Thursday It would not appear that they are being "starved" or poorly cared for by the government. Men that can play root ball against a team ot trained athletes nnd defeat them as the Iowa boys did the Stanford university men are not being nbubed very much. Webster City Freedom : The four weeks' term of court which closed Saturday cost the tax payers of Hamilton county about $2,500 , a fraction over $100 n day. Court ex penses are very high andMt Is to be hopei1 that some means will be devlced to dispose ot some of the petty cases without lugglnf them Into the district court. Some kind o : an Intermediate court might be establish to the advantage of the tax payers and not Interfere with the administration of Justice Blessed will be the legislature that gives the people relief In this matter.

The averag death rate keeps on steadily at forty-sove ' per day , Great discontent prevails among the Span Ish troops because of non-payment In som cases for six months , In others for sevci months and In still others for even elgh months , and the soldiers fear that they wll be embarked for Spain without recelvln their pay.
