The Office and work Of the Holy Spirit
have received special thought and en-
phasis in recent years. Formerly in the
services OF the church, especially in
meetings for prayer and testimony, the
fatherhood of God was particularly
prominent. The majesty, eternity and
sovereignty Of God, His attributes and

his relation to men were more studied

the Holy Spirit, as the executive of the

also to reproduce it in that believers

Tory. we have state which we want to
get RID OF, and there Is no way of doing it.
For years the population of Nevada has
been diminishing, and the reports are that
since the recent election the outflow of
population Is greater than ever before In
1871 the population of the state was 40
oOO. In 1880 1t had risen to 81, 200. In
1871 10 had fallen to As, 700. Today the
number OF people In the state is probably
less than 10000. At the resent presiden-
tlal election, when, IL may be well imae-
lned, full vote was cast, the number of
ballots deposited In the state was only TO-
300. All the congressional districts in the
north cast larger vote. Many of them
cast three, four, or even five times as many.
Even In the SOUTH where the number of
actual voters TO congressman IL smaller
than in tho north, most of the districts
show larger electorate than Nevada.
