LiberaI-A Mlsnomer.

AioCi dI-A MlSn0mer.
EDITOR TIMES In your issue Of
the 27th, l noticed an account of 4
visit to the town Of Liberal by Mr..
{. A. Tripp. l wish to say that
Mr.. Tripp can't tell us, who have
lived IN Southwest Missouri, anything
about that town and its people. I
was located, as pastor of the Church
of Christ, at Mt. Vernon, the county
seat of Lawrence county, Mo-. hence
| know of what | write.
Under their first organization,
Liberal was amlsnomer-they would
not even sell land to a christian.
There is about as much hberality IN
that as III the man who lit candle
to help the sun shine. Where would
be the liberty of our republic were it
not to allow liberalists to live in our
domains: At present the name
Liberal is not Il misnomer, Tor about
tour months ago | was present at
the LAYING of the corner stone of
Ash Grove Christian College. at
which time brother preacher of the
Church of Christ arose and announc-
ed the glad news, ''the better class
Of people at Liberal say we are
tired of liberalism. They want
churches Sunday schools and preach
ing, and he said, ''thcy offer me the
use of their town hall free of charge
and want me to come and preach
tor them" We all said amen; got
Part of what Mr.. Trip has been in
formed, that they have not, they
need not, under such an organlza-
ton. Christians also believe that
man has his veal or woe in his own
hands in this life, and here he de
cides his destiny for the hereafter.
The ''stage for the drama and
dance" of which Mr.. Tripp speaks,
will, in the future, resound with The
gospel OF the Son Of God. MIR.
Trlpp says, ''if it stands the test, it
is adopted, II not, rejected" Then
on his own reasoning. ADOPTED IT IS.
Our preaching brother said they are
singing "Nearer my God to thee"
May all the nations Of the earth Join
in the chorus. We ask, where did
these liberallsts get their idea of
''morality:" Did they create it?
You answer no. Did they get 1t
from heathen lands. where ''the
Bible is not found? You answer
no. But what if it were said that
they got whatever OF morality they
possess either directly or indirectly
from God revelation to man, "the
Bible" from whence we get the
idea of God. for man could not have
conceived the idea of God. First.
God is not Il creature of imagination,
for imagination can't penetrate the
unknown, and works only on what
is known. Second, Nature tells us
not of a God, but only coroberates
the previously known fact. Even
learned infidels find no God in ma
ture. Hence we get our idea of
God. morality, hell. heaven and
angels from the Bible.

TWENTY-FIVE miles an hour, when en-

were sixty men in the car, arranged
IN three tiers of berths, on either

Business for Ladies.


The opportunities for ladies to find
employment that is both suitable and
remunerative are limited; their pay is
usually poor as compared with the salar-
les paid to men in same line OF occupa
ton. But there are some very noted
executions; journalism, the drama,
music and platform offer equal advantages
10 men and women, and there is one
OCCUPATION in which women are some
times more successful than men, and
that is in the management of.agencies.
In this line The Queen City Suspender
Company, of Cincinnati, O., are offering
inducements to ladies that we think
ought to attract attention. They are
now manufacturing and introducing their
new Stocking Supporter for ladies and
children, and their unequaled Skirt
Suspenders for ladies. None should be
without them; our leading physicians
recommend them, and are loud in their
praise. These goods are manufactured
bv ladies who have made the wants OF
ladies and children study, and they ask
us to refer them to some reliable and en-
ergetic lady to introduce them in this
county, and we certainly think that an
earnest solicitation in every household
would. meet with ready response, and
that a determined woman could make a
handsome salary, and haye an exclusive
agency. We advise some lady who is
in need of employment to send to the
company her name and address, and
mention this paper. Address QUEEN

to him the other day, he remarked: "All

know that am out of public life and
