October g. This Grace Also: "Giving"-2
Cor. viii. 7.o.

"Riches are almost always abused
without a very extraordinary grace"
With clever compliment the Apostle
lists the graces in which the Corinth-
ian Christians excel. His praise was
pure. He knew their faith, utter
ance, knowledge, diligence, and love
everything in which they so manifest
ly abounded. But another grace he
skillfully pleads with them to show.
He yearns for them to prove in many
ways their charitable disposition so
that he may commend and boast of
them for their generosity, by which
they ought to be distinguished. He
Intends that this shall give them Pc
culiar and noble repute over their
virtues.
To teach them the law of gener-
osity, the culture of charity, impera-
tives are discreetly avoided. His
method of enthusing the church TO
liberal offerings was by loyalty, sac
rifice, and activity of another eccle-
sia. He mentions the forwardness of
the churches Of Macedonia which they
should emulate.
All possessions bring grave respon-
sibility. To give one must have, and
the having burdens the possessor with
the responsibility of giving. The re-
sponsibility for ones possessions va
ries according TO the amount When
ones means provide little more than
enough for the support of self and
family, generosity is manfestly linn
tied, and God accepts the willing
heart.
The principle in giving is to deter
mine the amount, and object of our
contribution. Far above the law of
the Old Testament does the principle
Of the New raise every servant of
God. The one-tenth rule, fixed, cold,
oppressive to the poor. advantageous
to the rich is completely lost in the
law of love, which is self denial and
sacrifice.
Under the Gospel no fixed sum Is
Christian, ne proportion Is scriptural.

"TnEY CARRIED LUNCH"

A young Cleveland woman who
teaches Sunday school class told her
small flock several Sundays ago about
the long journey of the children OF
Israel on their way to the Promised
Land. She described the march of the
column through the wilderness, and
told how the priests walked behind the
vanguard bearing their sacred burdens.
Last Sunday she thought she would
discover how much of this lesson the
little fellows remembered. To her
chagrin the first boy she asked remem-
bered nothing abo,,t it.
Come, now" she said 'some OF

Lesson Thoughts.
The infinite greatness of Gods gift
to us in sending his Son to die for us
Is a sure guarantee that no other gift
that we can ask will be too great for
him to bestow, with him he will also
freely give us all things.
We shall never do our duty to the
support of the church until we have
our hearts stirred by the love of God
and his cause. This love Is a grace
or favor bestowed hy the Spirit of
God.
A mans self, given in conservation,
renders his other gifts acceptable to

TWO KILLED AT SHAWNEE.
Terrible Tragedy, the Result of Jeal'
ousy-The Girl Unknown.

The ORlahoman gives the following
account of a tragedy which occurred
at Shawnee Saturday night.
AT about 11:15 tonight Leonard
Binns was shot in .~e head and in
stantly killed, and young girl about
20 years old was shot just aboe the
heart and died almost instantly. The
girl has been seen frequently around
town, but the Oklahoman representa-
tive was not able to ascertain her
name tonight, finding no one who
seemed to know her.
Charles Mcknight, who did the
deadly shooting was cut with knife
under the arm.
Binns and Mcknight have had a
grudge against each other for some
time. Mcknight deals faro bank in
Dameron's gambling house in the rear
of Bud Belts saloon.
Tonight Binns entered Belts saloon
in company with the girl. and ran
o'iooS Nthhibht' DIM . uItW MY
knife and cut at Mcknight, who pulled
his gun and fired, shooting the young
girl first, and the second shot hit
Binns squarely in the face. Both died
almost instantly.
Binns was the proprietor of the Sill
yer King saloon.
The trouble seems to have original
ed over the young woman and had
been standing between them only a
short time.
The supposition is that the young
woman is attending school here and
that her parents reside in the city.
In the pool OF blood around Binns
lays his knife, which has a pearl han
die and an extraordinary long blade.
He bled profusely. about a gallon Of
blood coming from the wound.
Mcknight is being taken to Jail at
Tecumseh and coroner's jury is be.
ing empaneled here.
This adds one more to the series
of tragedies which have been enacted
in Shawnee within the past two
months.

The question of the improvements
that had been done under the au-

was brought up, and II was suggested
that the amount of money taken in
and expended be published for the ben
eft of the parties donating the money
and Others who desired to know what
improvements had been made.
Mr.. Roberts, the secretary, stated
that about $1100 had been paid in,
and that it had all been paid out ex-
cept about $50 which they had in
the treasury.
It has been the intention of the Com
mercial Club for some time to become
an Incorporated body and steps to that
end have been taken and the members
of the club almost to a man have sig
ni6ed their willingness to become a
charter member of the incorporated
body.
In order TO incorporate, according
to the papers drawn up. the club is to
be capitalized at $4,000 and there
must be $3.50 paid in before they
can incorporate. That Will require
thirty members at $25 each, and only
about two d.. Ii names had been Sc
