LIES THREE QUESTIONS
Rev. Mr.. CO1burn's Advice to Young
Men as to How to Fix Their
Destinies.

Rev. Mr.. Colburn, pastor of Grace M. E.
Church, delivered an address at the Young
Mems Christian Association yesterday
afternoon, taking his text from Ephesians,
fourth chapter, eighth verse, "Think on
these things"
He said that if he could induce all young
men to do two things there would be little
doubt about their salvation. These things
were, to ask themselves what are the three
great questions of life, and to do as the
text says, 'Think on these things"
The first great question of life to be asked
is, Where am | at the present time p,
The answer is, I'm a world of mingled
good and bad, world intended only to
teach a certain lesson, the schoolroom in
which we are prepared for the hereafter.
The life led here will determine the life to
be led in eternity"
The second question of lifetime is,
"Where am l going on this current of
life?' Every man can fix his own destiny
in the hereafter by his life here and make
it heaven or hell.
The third question is, what had we
better do about n" If the world is full of
incomplete lessons the thing to do is to
take the best and highest authority, Gods
guide book, the Bible. and follow its teach
ings.

dant wells of oil and natural gas ara
struck at depth of 200 feet, and
that the deepest borings do not go
lower than 1,200 feet. In the Penn
sylvania oil regions the wells must
be sunk to a depth of 1000 to 2. 400
feet 1t is stated that the oil in the
Indian territory is better for illun-
mating purposes than any other
that has, yet been discovered.
The city of Los Angeles, Cal, ap-
pears to stand upon an oil field. as
oortngs made in the heart OF that city
at half the depth of Pennsylvania
sources have yielded rich results. Not
long ago well was sunk at the inter
section of two streets to a depth of
500 feet, when the oil flowed out at the
rate of 800 barrels a day. In other
parts Of California companies have
been formed to develop the fields of
OIL and natural gas, of which the indi-
cauons are abundant. The fact that
In California much of the land over
lying this wealth is prolific in agri-
cultural products has caused It's great
er subterranean value to be overlooked.
But 1t will not be long until the oil
producers derrick shall arise among
lis vineyards and corn fields.
After making all allowances for ex-
aggeration there remains no doubt that
this great country contains rich fields
Of oil and natural gas that still lie un-
developed. Should the fields of Penn.
sylVania become wholly exhausted
there would be no want of petroleum
for both home consumption and ex-
port. As to the cost, much will de,
pend on the Standard Oil company
which practically controls the pricf
and supply of petroleum.
