Docs God Loys slnnsrsf

Insre one trait or chardcser1Htic o.
God that does not receive due prominence
Christian, and that Is Gods love. What.
ever the ordinary Christian thinks Of Gods
love, he does not give it sufficient promi-
nence or importance. And it il much the
same as to many q theologian and expert
in systematic theology. The Bible distinc.
lively declares that God il love-" noe
merely that He shows or exercises or has
love. but that He "is love-" This being 20,
it is obvious that whatever God does is Q
manifestation or expression Of love. Yet
there are definitions, or descriptions, OF
love, in statements of truth, that actually
omit the very mention Of love. In the
same line, or in the same twist and per.
version, many child and grown person
wonders at some Bible statement Of Gods
love. Little children say at times that
God does not love q bad girl or bad boy
but it is because God does love sinners
that any Of US expect or hope to be saved.
A good Kansas brother, who IL exercised
on this subject, writes:
"For once I intsude on yocr valuable
time and biblical scholarship to ask fof
light on what to me Is mystery. Egypt,
Of all the nations Of the earth, treated
Gods elect race with the least humanity
and greatest barbarity. After Israel's set
Element as o nation in their promised IN.
heritance, Egypt was as o reed which, Il
they leaned on it, would give no support.
Egypt was as idolatrous as any Of the con.
temporary nations which Jehovah said He
would utterly destroy. Yet I read IN
Isaiah that God calls Egypt His people.
Egypt Nv people. and Assyria the work Of
Nv hands, and Israel Mine inheritance.'
Jehovah says there shall be pillar at the
border (of Egypt, and it shall be for Q
sign and for witness unto the Lord OF
hosts in the land of Egypt. In verses 20
and q Jehovah promises political redemp-
tion and spiritual salvation to this same
people. Why is this distinction! Had the
prophet the present political redemption
in Egypt and the freedom from restraint
Of missionary operations in view:"
! It was because of Gods love for sinners,
not because of His love for good people,
that He sent His Son into this world 70
move among sinners and then to lay down
His life for them. That gives hope and

that Christian missionaries 90 TO them, and
urge them to be saved. God did not love

At the annual meeting OF the Society for
Combating the Abuse OF Spirituous Liquors
at Besiau last month, Baron Won Dier.

one day be universally regarded as an en-

only possible to recommend moderation in
its use. Seven hundred and fifty millions
Of dollars was yearly spent in Germany on
Intoxicating liquors, he said, and it was
estimated that the average German con-
sumed tha equivalent OF !ive glasses Of spir-

Boston, his pockets empty of the money
that ha had promised to his wife to buy
the clothing for lack OF which his children

a blow that knocked her to the floor; when
he choked, with his fingers upon her

kicked her wish his heavy boots. and she
about to become the mother Of another

when he struck away the water that her

do it, and neither in earth nor hell has any
other agency been found, in the history Of
the whole human rIcc that inspired men
to such deeds.
But drink. gentlemen. alcoholic drink,
not only made Michael Kilroy do that bru-
tai, devilish deed. but has transformed un-
counted thousands of men into fends
of the same character, and has driven them
to deeds equally brutal. Drink, gentlemen,
has inspired such tragedies 81 commonly
and in such multitude that the public
scarcely pauses to notice their occurrence.
Drink, gentlemen, is to-day preparing
more men for just such deeds as that, and
you know and we know and the world
knows that it will take boys from your
churches, boys from your schools, aye,
God pity you, perhaps boys from your
homes, and will make them into such
brutes to work such fiendish crimes in fu-
ture years on women who to-day are lovely
and loving girls.
1t was only twelve days before the butch.
cry in that Boston tenement that Vincent
Vincelsk came how drunk in Pittsburg
and chopped his wife and little children to
death with rnil-cutter. It was only thir.
teen days before that John Blissett, of
Detroit, drunk, emptied his revolver into
his wife's body and poured kerosene over
her and stood with lighted match to make
her burnt offering to drink when the po.
lice broke in upon him. 1t was Just one
month and day before that father in
Indiana came home drunk, sought to kill
his wife with a hatchet and was shot dead
by his son.
But why 20 on with such list? The
cases are innumerablc and before Michael
Kilroy came home to kill Bridget you and
VIC and everybody in the whole land knew
that some man, because OF the drink traffic,
would come hom, and kill his wife. and
that the terrible procession of crime would
keep right on.-The New Voice.

Phoenix yesterday morning. MT.
 Goddard, who lives 15 miles on
 the other side of Gibson's station
 brought the news to this city last
 night, but he did not knew the
 mans name. He was a con-
 sumptive and had been out there
 only a short while. Justice Burnett
 was informed and has summoned
 a coroner's jury for the purpose of
 holding an inquest.
 Globe Belt: Two Indians got into difficulty few days ago at San Carlos and one tried to eat the other. He bit off the nose and an ear, was arrested and brought to Globe for trial before Justice
 Rawlings, but it now appears that
 there are a number of crimes and
 misdemeanors that Indians cannot
 be tried for in the territorial courts, and mayhem is one of them. He will be taken before the U. s. com missioner for hearing.
 Globe Times: The printers of Globe organized a union Sunday in the Times office, which follow ing officers: c. B. Sherwood, presi- dent; Leslie Scott, vice-president; Chas A. Zausch, secretary-trea- sury; w. $ Fields, sergeant at arms The union has a nice mem bership of old times printers, and who for the love of the craft would not be counted out, although not working at the case at present, holding other Lucrative position The charter has been sent for and Globe will have one ideal little union.

When completed and it is expect [ ed they will be in place by the [ last of the week, the clubs gym" will be one of the best appointed in the west. Expense has not been spared in selecting the furnishings and there is not piece in the entire lot that does not play some part in the physical development of the man. The club, which makes its home in the O'Neil building, is composed of about 100 of our best citizens.
 Clifton Era: Saturday morning at about 7:30, a house on what is known as Italian hill, near the lodging house, in Morenci caught fire from some unknown cause and was entirely destroyed with all its contents, the occupants, a Mexican family, having barely time to make their escape. The house was the property of an Italian living in Metcalf. Had there been any wind, the ire would have swept the hill, but in this instance as in all the other fires of the air was perfectly still, and a liberal use of water confined the fire to the one house.
 Clifton Era; T. A. Hughes, the popular conductor on the Morenci met with an accident morning at Guthrie, which might have been very serious.
