FOR A SOLDIERS HOME.
Earnest Efforts Being Made to Establish
One In This state.

Butte. June 2.-The board of man.
ayers of the soldiers home. of which
Col p r. Dolman Of this city, is
PRESIDENT. is advertising for donations
of land and money to establish the
home. The legislature appropriated
such a small sum for the purposes of
the proposed home that the board Is
very much hampered i'm its work,
which is almost entirely a work OF
charity. In order To make the appro-
priation go as far as possible the board
concluded to advertise for offers which
will be considered at n meeting TO be
held i'm Helena on the 10Th Of this
month. Localities, communities and
persons are asked to submit PROPOSE
lions of eligible sites for the home Of
not less than 40 acres of good tillahle
land. with a water right sufficient Tor
irrigation. which they are willing to
donate To the state for the purpose Of
a site, or of money or other donations
to aid in building, furnishing and
maintaining the home. The land and
improvements thereon are TO be vested
I'm the name of the state for the use OF
he soldiers home so long as II may
be necessary and TO revert to the state
when the necessity for such home no
longer exists. The site must be at least
enc mile distant from any point where
liquors are sold. The members OF the
board are Z. r. Dolman of Butte, and
Ed +. Ferris. Lyman Loring and c. II.

acts without a motive. Second. IL is
contrary TO all our ideas of Gods good
ness to think that God would annihi-
late the soul. We see in the world
wonderful variety of taste. Take the
fish from the stream. BY instinct OF
nature IL struggles to get back into
the water for which IL is so perfectly
adapted. The bird in the air is con-
structed for perfect enjoyment of its
life. and so. too, with the beasts of the
forest. From the lowest to the highest.
each has certain instincts and desires
and each is happy in its own sphere;
but whoever saw n man who was per-
fectIy happy? | believe that man
never lived who was entirely happy
on the face of the earth. There IS
void that can only be filled by a glor-
ious immortality in the life beyond.
II God has permitted perfect enjoy
ment to the fish and the lion and the
bird, and let's man remain unSatlsned,
and having all these Instincts, not De
able to crafty them. then God is not
good to us. In the third place, the
annihilation of the soul is contrary to
all our ideas of Gods justice. That
would remove every incentive to vir-
tue. and honesty and upright living,
and IL such n doctrine were followed
even for a decade there would be a
falling back into Paganism.
But you say we all believe in the
lieved in IL from infancy. Belief in
the Immortality of the soul involves
certain doctrines. Do you live up to
those doctrines? Does a man whose
every other word is an oath believe
i'm the Immortality of the soul? Does
a man who lies and Injuries his neigh
boris character believe i'm the immor-
tally of the soul? Does man with
an impure mind believe in the immor-
tally OF the soul? Does a man who
never bows his head in prayer believe
in the Immortality OF the soul? l new
er was in a community yet which did
not contain n large number of people
of all these classes. who professed to
believe in the immortality of the soul.
"Our bodies will entirely dis
appear. But our souls Will
live millions and millions of ages.
When rust is on the hinges OF the
gates of hell our souls will still live,
and will live just as we make them.
In view of the fact that time is short
and eternity so long, that bodies pass
away and the soul lives, see the i'm
portance of seeking first the kingdom
of God and His Righteousness.
