THE PREACHERS POINTS.
Synopsis of Sunday Sermons
at the Churches.
NJ. f. CHURCH SOUTH.

TeNt.-For / am not ashamed of the gos.
pei OF Christ for il is the power Of God intC
salvation to every one that believeth. TO the
Jew first and also to the Greek. Roman:
lilo.
Paul was not disappointed in
the gospel, which means good
news, and offers to save from the
wrath to come. God is angry
with sin but not vindictive.
Unregenerate human nature is
condemned already. He that be-
heveth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed.
The gospel delivers from condem-
nation. Being justified by his
blood we shall be saved from
wrath through him. The chief
aim of the gospel is to lift up the
ruined moral nature OF men and
make it holy. Christ is a perfect
savior and his is perfect saliva
ton.
Having therefore these promises,
dearly beloved let us cleanse our
selves from all filthiness of the
flesh and spirit, perfecting holi-
ness in the fear Of God, and that
you put on the new man which
after God is created in righteous
ness and true holiness.
To appreciate the magnitude of
the undertaking look at the condi-
ton of unsaved men. The carnal
mind is enmity against God, a sad
comment on human nature. Gull
ture, ethical training will not make
men holy. Many of our institu-
tions OF learning are hot beds OF
infdelily; neither will respectable
ity bring deliverance.
The inquiry: Has the gospel
been successful in its great under
taking? 1t has done all it pro-
fessed to do, not in a few isolated
cases, but very many and OF the
most depraved and vile. Paul was
prosecuted of the church, and ST.
Augustine was a dissipated youth.
Observe the effects of the gospel in
the slums, its power on nations.
The church modifies oppressive
forms of government. God is rep
resented as loving man; love is
the great attraction, and the Lord
was moved with compassion to-
ward the multitude. There is
power in the gospel because of the
presence of the Holy Spirit making
it irresistible-sharper than a two
edged sword.

DROWNED IN THE POTEAU.
Prison Escapes From a Deputy Mar
shaI TO Find a Watery Grave.

G. L. Johnson was arrested the
frat of the week near Wan. charg-
ed with grand larceny. He was
taken before Commissioner Nc
Combs at Wan yesterday. The
commissiunerallnwrd him Ia plead
guilty to petit larceny and gave
him one year in Jail at Fl. Smith.
Thursday Deputy J. c. c.
Rogers left Wan with Johnson in
charge. Just after be arrived at
FIT. Smith and near the United
States Jail Johnson took a long
distance leap for liberty. His
sprinting abilities were well
known and Deputy Rogers being
weak from recent illness fired two
shots from his revolver for the
purpose of intimidating Johnson.
This did not have the desired ef-
feet, however. Several people
standing near when Johnson made
the start went in pursuit. 1t was
a hot race and Johnson seeing that
his pursuers were gaining ground
jumped into the Poteau river. His
clothes were an impediment. 1t
was seen that he could not swim
across after he had gotten twenty
feet from the bank. He struggled
heroically, then began to strike out
wildly and in a few moments after
he had made the plunge into the
river he sank to the bottom and
was drowned.
Deputy Rogers had Reenie
brothers, pndertakers, at Fort
Smith, to take charge of the body
and it was yesterday inferred at
Fort Smith.-Muskogee Times.

VOICE FROM ALASKA.
John Bates Coming Home
Broken in Health. High
Wages for Miners.

John l.. Bates and his son
Charles went to Alaska from this
section a year and a half ago and
up 10 about one week ago had Got
been heard from. Sunday At
torney John B. Turner received
the following very interesting COM
munication from Mr.. Bates, which
will be read with much interest by
a large number of people in the
Cherokee nation:
ANVIL CITY, Alaska, Aug. 8, '99

DEAR SIR AND FRIEND-I sup
pose you have me numbered with

This is genuine mining town.
Lots of gold and that makes good
times. Wages sS for mining and
So for any sort of work. Charles
has been getting one dollar per
hour. Men are making from $40
to 800 a day working the gravel
on the sea shore here. This has
got my boy ratified and he don't
know what to jump at frs: for a
sure thing. He was offered few
hours ago 500 a month and one
dollar for every extra hour that he
may work, with good board and
lodging included, by one of the
oldest companies in Alaska. | ad-
vlsed him to 60 and accept it if it
was for a year or more; and he has
gone at this writing 10 see about it.
Should he accept the situation
shall come back at once, as | am
in poor health; having been down
with rheumatism and other eli
matte ailments for ten months.
Although | am better | am not a
well man by any means. | am not
able to work any, and don't think
| will be while remain here. Mr..
Tuner, could | work and rustic
like | used to, | could make it
here. 1t nearly drives me insane
TO want 10 and have no strength to |
do it. | can scarcely walk at all; |
| seem to be used up from m'my hips |
down. 1 fear ! am done up for |
lie. would not advise any one
to come here.
All the mines are located and all |
one can do is TO lease or work for
wages And unless one is familiar
With mining they would not do
much good at leasing claim. A
man must have an iron conslitu-
tiOn to live here and do any good.
The climate is terrible; but taking
all the disadvantages aud hard
ships in consideration, if was a
stout young man | would never
leave Alaska until was in proper
shape as far as money goes. We
have all the necessaries and luxu-
ries of the old settled countries.
Doctors, lawyers, preachers, places
of amusement, and all but the
mails are only once a month.
Newspapers are old when We get
them, but they seem awful fresh to
US ice. bound Alaskans. A paper
one year old is read with the inter-
est of one only wet from the press
