were adopted expressing the deepest sense of
gratitude to the people of the entire country

fore has any people been the recipients of so
grand a charity, and never can its impressive
lesson Of humanity be forgotten; that mo
difference Of political creed can weaken, and
no evils Of designing politicians sever, ties
which bind us by the most tender and sdcred
memories in bonds of National brotherhood,
one and indissoluble."

A string telephone was stretched from
the ball grounds to John Reinlein's shoe

siderable interest is excited among our
citizens on the telephone question. MI.
John Rhodes, ticket agent, has rugged
one from his office TO the freight depot,
through which vocal and instrumental
sounds pass readily and easily. There Is
one use 20 which the telephone can be put

unable to get out so that they could en-

List week sui contractor on the L.
V. railroad got sick of his contract and
lit out, leaving his men unpaid. Part OF
the money due him had not been paid
over, and Mr.. a. j. Bags, acting for the
railroad company, paid this to the men
who had been working as far as 1t would
go. 1t amounted to IS cents on the dol
lor This was rather heavy shave for
men working at low wages st any rate
but much better than nothing. Legally
the railroad company were not bound to
pay at all, IS the failure wss due wholly
TO the contractor, but they did the best
they could for the men.
There is not much activity on this end
of the railroad now. The main work be-
ing pushed is the Flushing tunnel and q
number of bridges. AS soon as these are
nearly finished, the work on this end
will be resumed and pushed forward rap
idly to completion.

President Thompson in the Zane

Rev. President Thompson preached at

and appreciative audince from the text
"If man die shall he live agalnT The
question of the text is an ancient one.

asked himself this question. 1t is fun

the existence of God; and sec
ond, the accountability of the soul
to that being. There is no religion II
there be no God and a future life. can
see that it Is Of some Importance whence
we came, but think it yields IN lmpor-
lance to that of where are we goingF A
belief in Immortality is reasonable. No
man now living, or ever will live, can
affirm that there is no future. Before
such an affirmation can be made the uni
verse must be thoroughly explored and
he be able TO declare that there are no
disembodied spirits. This Cannot be
done. No man can declare that these
things exist, because he has not the pow
ers OF ocomotion to enable him TO do it.
We know nothing at all of the mode OF
spiritual bodies. A spirit is the most I'M
real body or entity manageable. We
can think about spirits but when we de-
clare we know anything about them we
are mistaken. l believe we have the
spirits all about US, and Heaven Is as
near to earth IS the waves are to the
shore. All men in all ages have longed
for another life. Why aid they long for
i'll Men long for another life because
this is defective. If this life were ade-
quale how could we hsrbor thoughts OF
another lite2
We ha ee a race of imperfect beings,
capable o! conceiving OF niger life, but
Just as they are reaching out
for that life are disappointed,
| think that the Father who raises these
hopes will fulfill them. Men all over
the world have desired another life.
Every maa who does not desire higher

every mans life Is q Garden OF Eden.

up your hopes on the evidence OF your
brightes hours. Mans reasoning pow
ers are not any greater than his loving
powers. No human heart hiss ever been
exhausted of its power 70 love.
But what are one little loves to that
of Gods heart. Ours is but the overflow
of Gods love. 1t is to the glory of God
to carry on my lite forever and ever. If
