pendent movement? And why did John
from his prison Send his disciples to
Jesus to ask him IL he were the Messiah?
1t Is very evident that John had not been
convinced that Jesus was the Messiah
at the time of his imprisonment; and 1t
is also evident that their conclusions
about religion, morals and reformation
were very different Johns stoical gos-
pei was not satisfactory to Jesus. In
spite of all differences, the two prophets
loved, respected. honored and praised
one another. They did not hate, ma
lign, misrepresent one another, as some
modern Christians delight to do. They
were in their own ways striving to in
troduce the kingdom of God among men.
They could not have worked together
with their different views and convic-
tions; nor would it have been wise for
them to try to work together. They
worked better apart. The new wine
must have new bottles. Johns gospel
lacked spirituality. 1t was gospel Of
conscience. 1t was the message of
Jewish stole. John csta ablished a soci-
ETY. of ethical culture in the desert, and
1t could not perpetuate itself. 1t failed,
as all such one-sided societies have fail
ed and will fail. The soul of Christ's
gospel Is God-consciouSnesS That gives
Immortality to church. Religion is
the mother of all the virtues and graces.
Virtue, separated from religion, soon
dies, just as branch soon withers and
dies when it is cut from the tree. Moral
baptism. the baptism of ter, must fol-
low spiritual baptism. The birth of
John was quite as miraculous as that of
Jesus. John died for the sins of the
world, like his divine successor. Jesus
declared that John was a mighty proph-
ct. The New Testament reports that
John was filled with the Holy Ghost
from his mothers womb Notwithstand-
ing all this, John was not orthodox; for
he did not preach trinity, total deprav-
ity, a fall of man, a sacrifice of animals
for sins, a murder of some one as a pro-
pitiation for iniquity. According to
orthodoxy, John the Baptist is now
burning in hell, because he was a disbe-
lever in conventional doctrines. If
John is not in that place. but in heaven,
then people like John. filled with Gods
spirit, keeping the words of Jesus, go to
heaven when they die. So, what's the
use of popular theology?

SIMPSON TABERNACLE
Rev. Or. Mclean Advocates the Virtue Of
Humility


Humility
Rev. DR.. Mclean filed the pulpit at
Simpson Tabernacle yesterday.
The reward of the saved and the un-
saved are epitomized in the words of the
text: "As We have done it unto these, We
have done it unto me-"
The speaker thought no greater
theme could occupy the human mind
than this of service to Christ. Christ
came to save the world, but his coming
was a disappointment to the world, and
they gave him manger for a cradle, a
stable for a palace, a cross for a throne,
and the last humiliation, a grave. He
arose from the grave and ascended on
high, where he intercedes for us. He
will come again to receive the faithful
believers. There will be many sur
prises on that day, and on the basis of
our having done unto the humblest of
his followers so we have done service to
him and earned the welcome Come, ye
blessed" etc.
We should be sublimely heroic to do
his will that we may inherit the reward.
Gods spirit calls to duty, and no matter
what the obstacles may be he will lead
to triumphant victory. The world is
demanding Gigh standard of Christian
living. He who prays to God to help
humanity and then goes forth with his
hand and his heart closed to the needs
of the needy will receive his reward ac-
cording to the text.
The table of Jesus Christ is free to all,
and the only condition is, AS oft as ye
do this do it in remembrance of me-"
AS we come to his table today may we
come in that spirit of conservation and
humility that will help us to go forth to
do the will and bidding of the Master.

HARMONIAL SPlRITUALISTS
The Pros and Cons OF Officers
Elected

The Harmonial Spiritual association
held an interesting meeting yesterday
afternoon at Music hall, Spring street
After an Invocation by Mrs. Maud Frei-
tag, W. C. Bowman gave brief address
on organization. He said that the Spir-
itualists of Los Angeles might, he be-
lieved be power for good if they could
cordially unite and act together in har-
mony. Yet if it is the purpose of the
angel world to keep Spiritualists divided
so that growth may not be stopped by
the crystallization of their progressive
ideas into a fixed creed. He gladly ac-
quiesced in the wisdom of temporary di-
vision. After Spiritualism has made its
way into the churches and has spiritual
lied our institutions of learning as we'll
as of religion, there must follow a har-
monious union of all the better elements
of society and the world will enter on a
new era of progress.

The Session Today Promises to Be an Inter.
estlng One

The Session Today Promises to Be an Inter-
estlng One
The meeting of the city council today
promises to be an interesting one, II
matters turn out as they are expected.
Mayor Snyder will probably send in his
message on the street-naming ordinance
and a number of protestants have de-
clared their intention to be present.
Whether the ordinance Is vetoed in its
entirety or whether it Is only returned
unsigned, with communication setting
forth such changes as will make 1t ac-
ceptable to the executive, there Is likely
to be considerable debate. Major Hor-
ace Bell will be on hand to insist that
Georgia Bell street retain its name, in
stead of being changed to Nevada street,
as recommended by the commissioners.
General Forman, chairman of the COM
mission, will also be present to defend
the action of the commission, and will
vigorously oppose rechanging the name
of Nevada. The reason for this is that
General Forman now considers this
personal matter, in view of Major Bells
savage assault upon him, impugning his
motives and insinuating that he had
taken advantage of his position as a
member of the commission to secure the
change. Had this not been done, Cen
eral Forman says that, in the interest
of harmony. he would not have made
any objection to going back to Georgia
Bell street, but that he now feels that he
cannot recede from the position taken
by the commission. Other protestants
will also be on hand, and will probably
address the council.
Then, too, there may be sensation
should the Parkhursters put in an ap-
pearance, as it has been reported that
they would do, and the ladies who are
favoring the ordinance for keeping chill
dren off the streets after night are also
more than likely to be on hand to advo-
cate the measure.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL
Henry Varley, English Evangelist, breaches
to Large CONGREGATION

to Large Congregation
The great assembly that crowded every
part of the First Congregational church
to hear the we'll known preacher yester-
day morning was deeply interested in
the clear and timely utterances which
fell from the lips of Rev. Henry Varley
of London. The subject chosen was the
atonement as designed and instituted
by the eternal God and portrayed in the
remarkable symbolism connected with
the sacrifices of the great day of the
atonement. The preacher showed the
Intimate connection between the book of
Levitcus, the Epistle to the Hebrews
and that to the Romans, that this sub
ject pervaded these books and had dis
tinct reference to the infinite sacrifice for
sin made by the Lord Jesus Christ.
The address was a unique and thrilling
vindication of the doctrine of peace with
God through the sacrifice Of his only
and we'll beloved Son. The distinction
between atCnement and reconciliation
was carefully set forth; that the fact Of
the expiation of the guilt and penalty of
sin was one thing, the reconciliation, as
the result of the sacrifice once offered
is another. Had the sacrifice never
been offered, peace with God
would have been impossible. The dis
tnction between sin ana sins was clearly
pointed out. Sin. the essential evil, pro-
ducng sins; sin, the innate energy;
sins, the fruit in all variety and detail
Mans utter inability to expiate, put
away or undo committed sins, was
strillingly enforced. There can be no
question" said the preacher, that the
atonement is an intiitive truth. 1t is
an absolue necessity; a part of the ma
ture Of things; it exists because it should
exist 1t is the divine indication of
right everywhere. Before human his
tory began on the earth's surface Christ
Jesus, the Lord, was in the purpose of
God the propitiatory Offering, the
lamb slain from the foundation of the
world

Had No Use for Anthracite.

Edmund Carey, of Benton, is in this
city this week attending court. He
was one of the early residents of
Wilkesbarre, and was born Aug. -,
1922, on farm at the lower end of
town, now known as Carey avenue,
which has been named after the fam
lily. His father, George Carey. was

ling Of the first anthracite coal in Wy
oming valley He helped open strip
ping in PittstOn township. now known
as Plains township, in 1915 and in the
spring of that year loaded a raft with
several others and took it down the
Susquehanna to Harrisburg, where
they sold the raftload of forty tons Of
anthracite for $40. They were discour-
aged at such remuneration and left
the transportation of coal dormant I'M
til 1920, when they took another raft
load down and failed to find a buyer.
They were so discouraged that they
dumped their load of black diamonds
into the Susquehanna at Harrisburg,
and as far as these early pioneer ship
pers were concerned, the opening up of
a coal market was ended.-Wilkesbarr

LOANS ON IDAHO REAL ESTATE.
Parties Using Interest Coupons
Charged with Usury.

Moscow, Idaho, Aug. 3l.-The filing
of the suit of Latah County VS.. Thomas
Ewes ct al. by District Attorney Nc
Nance has created CONSERVATION
among the loan companies doing bust
ness in this state, as upon the result
of this case will hinge the fate of every
mortgage company doing business in
Latah county with the single exception
of the Northwestern and Pacific Hypo-
theek bank, which does not use interest
coupons. The case just filed is in real
ity against the well known wheat, in
surance and loan firm of Balfour, Guth-
RE g. Co. of Portland.
This firm loaned Thomas Ewes and
wife $4,000, taking as security a mort
gage on land in Latah county. The mort
gage bore interest payable semi-annual-
ly, and, in addition to the note for the
principal, Ewes and wife signed 10 cou-
pom notes. each for the interest for a
period of six months. These coupons
bore no interest if paid when due, but
if not so paid bore II per cent per an
mum from maturity, making compound
interest, which the supreme court de-
cided, i'll the case of the Vermont Loan
and Trust Company VS.. Hoffman, is
usury. Under the law of 1897 the pen
atty for usury provides that the mort
gagee shall forfeit to the school fund OF
the state 10 per cent per annum of the
principal for each year carried by these
interest coupons. In this case the mort
gage ran for five years, which makes the
amount to be forfeited so per cent of
the original loan, or $3.50, the amount
sued for by District Attorney McNa-
NEE. Upon failure of Ewes to pay these
interest coupons, Balfour, Guthrie &
Co. brought suit for foreclosure, Sc
cured judgment, had the land sold and
bid it in, subsequently getting a sher-
iff's deed. They have farmed the land
and harvested the crops from it.

SIX MONTHS FOR AN AllBI.
Sample of Justice as 1t Was Once
Administered In the West.

Don't question anything you hear
about the administration of justice in
the early days of the West" advised
over a large part of it in search of
fortune. I've seen men out there act
ing as magistrates that could neither
read, write nor talk with an approach
to correctness in any language.
Il recall one instance up near the
head Of Bitter creek. While a miner
was down at the saloon one night en-
joying himself after the manner of
such men, some one stole into his tent
and dug up the bags of dust he had
buried there. Upon discovery of the
theft there was a great hue and cry
raised, sheriff's posse was called in
and young fellow from the East, lit
tie better than a tenderfoot, was ar
rested for the crime. He didn't look
guilty or act guilty and there was
good deal Of sympathy for him among
the boys. Otherwise the regular for.
mula of Justice might not have been
observed
when the trial came on the young
man had a lawyer that he had sent for
and who made it interesting for the
prosecution, who relied largely upon
lung power and sledge-hammer blows
Inside of two hours it was proved by
evidence that could not be questioned
that the accused had spent the entire
night with a friend at his shanty three
miles from the camp. Outside of what
the friend swOre to number had seen
the prisoner going out in the evening
and returning in the morning. Even
the prosecution was gracious enough to
admit at last that a perfect alibi had
been proved.
Thar's no mistake about it, roared
the court, in order to emphasize his in
dignation; 1T has been proved that this

committed a aleibi. l sentence him

And 1t took half day to get the

be flanked by four pavilion buildings,
giving the structure a base of 400 feet.
The outer walls will be of cement,
having wire cloth Embedded within that
