FERGUSON Is CONFIDENT
That Within Week WateFwOrks
Maffcr VIII be settled.

Guthrie. O. r.. Dec. 10.-Governor Fer
guson said today that ne believes that
within week or ten days the I.awton
water works matter viii be settled one
way or the other. Certain forces are at
work which viii solve the matter.
The Lawton Enterprise prints an inter
view with a councilman this past week
who declares that the governor had no
right to ask the counclmen Of Lawton
for anidavits OF their honesty. DR. Tur-
ner. it win be remembered was the only
one not making affidavit
Governor Ferguson today said concern
ing this article: Il did not ask for these
amdavits bat in fact told the committee
that l did rot wish these affidavits. How
ever. I did say that if the councilmen
wished to refute the rumors that propos-
ais had been made TO them. ] would be
willing to receive afiidavits on this. If
they believed ii would help matters any.
Concerning this DR. Turner quoted in
the article, I have this To say: DR.. Tur-

WRITTEN FOR THE CONSERVATIVE


servative of January 23d had all article
of not little interest. A lady of st.
Louis was about to commit suicide,
when her daughter heard the voice of
her father warning her of the intend
ed act, which the daughter prevented.
The father had been dead for ten
years. The ST. Louis incident, true
or false, brings to mind number of
INCIDENT of which have knowledge,
and I desire to present a few Of them
and ask that readers Of this paper
write me an explanation.
A little more than forty years ago,
l lived on Wood river, eight miles
west of the city of Grand Island,
Hall county, Nebraska. West of me
lived man by the name of Smith
and his neighbor, Anderson. On the
9Th of February, 1862, on cold
morning, Captain Joseph Smith and
his two sons and son of Anderson
went with two teams and sleds and
six horses to the Platte river from
Wood river, and were all killed by
the Sioux. I saw them lying side by
side after having been brought home.
Anderson and his wife each dreamed
the night before that they saw four
coffins. They soon saw them, and in
one of them was the sweet, pale face
of their own dear boy. Who informed
them Of coming doom? I confess do
not know; do you?
I was the pastor of church several
years ago in the village of Cedar
Rapids, Neb. In my congregation
was little girl, maybe six years of
age-Mary Freeland-black- eyed, rosy
checked, an intelligent girl. She lay
dying. Suddenly she frightened up
and exclair d: 80, kiss me, quick,
mother. I ,e the angels!' Did she
If not, wha was it?
was at the village Of Liberty,
Neb., the first half of January of this
year. Mrs. Olmsted, a lady sixty five
years Of age, told me of the death of her
daughter in Kansas a few years ago.
While dying she saw standing at the
foot Of her bed her two children, who
were dead, and asked others if they
did not also see them. What did she
see?
In this city, Lincoln, Harry Dean
was dying. He said: Mamma, if
send little letter to Jesus Christ,
will he get it?" eyes, was the
answer. dear Jesus he dictated
"if you will only lay your hands on a
poor little boy and please give him
rest" Then few minutes after
"Jesus heard me, mamma, and / am

and ever. Amen"
He bade each member Of the family
good bye, and said to the nurse ::
"You have been so good to me kiss
me, please. Then at last, Mamma,
sing Nearer My God to Thee. Good
by, mamma, good bye.' What did
this boy see? Anything?
Take the case of Stephen, the first
martyr Of the Christian church; he
was about to be stoned. The account
says:
"But he, being full of the Holy
Ghost, looked up steadfastly into
heaven, and saw the glory Of God,
and Jesus standing on the right hand
of God,
"And said, Behold, 1 see the
heavens opened, and the Son of man
standing on the right hand of God.
Acts vii, $3.50.
Or, take one more incident from
early church history. Christ, with
Peter, James and John, went up into
a mountain, and there He was trans
figured before them. Peter began to
talk. and "While he yet spake, be-
hold, bright cloud overshadowed
them and behold voice out of the
cloud, which said, This is my be-
loved Son, in whom I am we'll
pleased; hear ye him. Matt.
xvii, 5.
Did they hear "a voice. what
was it? Take more recent case.
Dwight L. Moody, who died SO re-
Gently at Northfield, said: "This is
my triumph; this is my coronation
day! have been looking forward to
it for years. Then his face lighted
up, and he said, in voice of joyful
rapture: Dwight! Irene! see the
children's faces. - His two grand
children by these names had died
within the year. Said he: earth
recedes; Heaven opens before me
God is calling me, and I must co."
What did he see and hear?
One more incident. and this I saw.
An aged Christian was dying. With
others, stood by her bedside; the
SHOWS Of more than eighty winters
had given her the hoary head which
was to her crown of glory, because
found in the way of righteousness.
The dark waters of death were already
laving her pilgrim feet She was
sitting upon her couch and, with a
holy eloquence I never expect to hear
equalled in this world, was asking
her Children to live Christian lives
and meet her in heaven, when, sud
denly, she paused, and looking up
ward, exclaimed: "What is that
beautiful music I hear?" This she
did twice. And, as the soft light of
the Sabbath sun began to bathe the

Bunyan, in his celebrated allegory.
Pilgrims Progress" makes his
hero, Christian, just before he crosses
dark river, to come into beautiful
place called Beulah Land. Here
pilgrims could partake freely of the
richest fruits in the Kings orchards,
and from this delightful place faint
visions could be had of the city be-
yond to which they were bound, and
sweet strains of music sometimes
were waited to them. Here is
clipping:

is full in my view. It's glories beam

into my heart "
What do all of these things mean?
confess do not know, but some
way my heart tells me that God is in
it, without resorting to spiritualism
for an explanation, but may it not be
that ministering spirits are about us to
guard and help according to that
scripture speaking of the angels:
"Are they not all ministering
spirits, sent forth to minister for them
who shall be heirs of salvation?'
When Elisha was surrounded, with
his servant, in the mountain by the
Syrian army and the servant began to
ask, "What shall we do?" the prophet
answered: "Fear not +: for they that
be with US are more than they that
be with them.
"And Elisha prayed, and said,

eyes of the young man; and he saw
