Albert used to live at Goddard, some
five or six years ago. but when the strip
opened ne went down where the salt
plain casts its white mirage against the
claim. He is a German and slayer.
He stayed with his claim agains: the
bluff OF sooners. the tenacity OF the
scrubby blackjack and the dry whistle
OF the wind through the parched buffalo

year he cleared brush, broke the patches

around all over Woodward and county

bet that he could get TO. He frequently
came TO Wichita in his search visits but
went back home single, lonesome and
alone.
Tuesday he came up on short visit
and stopped with Fritz ArnholZ.
Lizzie Chilles is one of Fritz's family

from Little Rock, Ark. She and Albert
had never met, but when he went 10 say
good bye to the Arnholz folks yesterday

breaths: YES"

Albert was that every dish in his Okla

Shall we take buggy ride?"

"And yon go with me to get the IL

yes"

Dor Of the Orient has more friends in

ton to human agency alone. They
make it out that man must save him
self, when it is the very idea of
Christianity that God and Christ and
angels will go forth to aid in this
great work. If the soul gets beyond
its own power, there is higher
power to conjoin with it to the end
of its restoration, as there was a good
Shepherd to go out and find the lost
sheep that could not find its own
way back to the fold"
Hence Joseph Cooks pet illustra-
ton of the ship careening clean over
and unable to uplift itself, mis-
leads by concealing a power that
is ready to aid in the task. He for
got the power that stands ready to
lend hand in bringing the vessel
right again.
There is, let us always remember,
another power than that of the soul
abroad to awaken it, and touch its
dormant will and breathe into it new
energies. 1t short, God is factor in
the scheme of the universe, and
places the infinite at the service of
the finite. To the weak he will be
strength; to the blind illumination,
and to the morally dead battery
to foster life. For he is good to all,
and always good. This is the Scrip
tural and reasonable view of the pos
sibilities of salvation as against Mr..
Cooks dictum of the permanence of
evil character and a condition of
"fixedness' for the aforetime sinful
soul after death.

death and the greater part of her life
she had been hard worker in the

to her story because of her liberal relig

minister, caused her to be placed in the
Jacksonville Insane Asylum. The story
of her incarceration there, written by
herself has been widely read. Through
the influence of this book, added to her
untiring effort, thirty-four bills have
