THE WORST FORM.

Multitudes are singing the
praises of Kodol, the new discov-
cry which is making so many
sick people well and weak people
strong by digesting what they
eat, by cleansing and sweetening
the stomach and by transform
ing their food into the kind of
pure, rich, red blood that makes
you feel good all over Mrs.
Cranfill of Troy, I. T., writes:
''For a number of yerrs I was
troubled with indigestion and
dyspepsia which grew into the
worst form. Finally l was in
duced to use Kodol and after
using four bottles I am entirely
cured. 1 heartily ecommend
Kodol to all sufferers from diges-
tion and dyspepsia. Take a dose
after meals. It digests what
you eat" The Owl Drug Store.

THAT ROAD MEETING

AS announced in yesterdays
issue of the RECORD a mass
meeting of the farmers and town
people is called to meet in the
Eagle hall on Wednesday next,
the 29th inst. This question Tor
good roads is deserving of more
than a passing notice. There is
scarcely a state in the Union, and
especially the northwestern
states and nearly all ofthe south
ern states but that at times is
raising loud cry for better
roads. Coming right home, let
us take a look at the condition OF
the public roads of Southwestern
louisiana. At many times Of the
wear a team of mules can scarce
ly pull an empty wagon.
Did you ever stop to consider
the fact that the miserable con-
dition of the public highways is a
terrible loss to the towns in close
proximity, not only financially
but in alarge number of instances
it keeps many of the farmers
from coming to town, and 1t
works untold hardship in numer-
Gus ways.
It is strange how the public
seems to exhibit an utter dlsre-
gard looking to the betterment OF
public roads, and when you stop
to consider that by having poor
roads, it means a loss of thous-
ands of dollars annually to many
q community.
There is scarcely state in the
Union where the roads can be
made better than in Louisiana.
In Southwest Louisiana the soil
| is generally level, and the actual
work of making roads is slight
| in comparison with that in other
states.
In the meeting to be held on
Wednesday next the RECORD
hopes that there will be ageneral
discussion of the road question,
and that some plan will be de-
The Jennings daily record., 1902-10-23

vised looking to the betterment
OF the highways leading into Jen-
nings. This is a matter that
should deeply interest our busi-
ness men. They are the losers
by q poor system of roads, and
business men above all, together
with the farming community,
should get right down to bust
ness and settle on some scheme
for q better road system.

"A TIMELY REMARK.

If ever the need of an opera
house in Jennings was felt, 1T
was today. The large number OF
excursionists who spenta q profit
able hour in our city we're enter
tanned in a nice way, considering
their short stay, and numerous
expressions were heard from
our guests complementing Jen-
nings in various ways.
The writer happened to be
among the crowd ofexcursionists
as they were alighting from the
train, when one of the party ad-
dressing a friend SAID in loud
tone, "Joe, why are you walking
so fast; wait moment and we
will form a line, and I presume
we will be led to the opera house. !"
That remark was actually made
lust before Mayor Humphrey de-
livered the address of welcome,
n the open air.
Now, that brings forcibly to
the front the need of an opera
house, for which we hava been
contending for some time. Aside
from it being used as a theatre,
look at the numerous instances
it can be used for, such as mass
meetings, the entertainment OF
visitors in large numbers (such
as we have had today, and the
many Offices that could be util-
lied in q building of that kind
would surely make it a paying
investment.
How much nicer it would have
been today if we could have taken
our guests to an opera house and
there welcomed them. and in this
connection how much better it
would have beer for the ladies
who acted and SO nobly did their
duty on the reception committee,
if they could have met the guests
in some suitable building and
there fill their social obligations
to much better advantage.
We would like to see some pub
lie splrited citizen make q move
in this matter and not let up un-
til he succeeds in organizing a
stock company, whose object
will be the erection Of an opera
house, and thus fill u long felt
want.

WARNING TO THE PROFANE.
BY Rev. Frank De WITT TaImage

Though Kazlitt Aryine gives incident
after incident where the condemning
wrath of God has instantly slain the BIAS
phemer, none of them ever made such
an impression upon my mind as that
which happened some years ago, prac-
tically under my own eyes. We were then
stopping in Elizabethtown, among the
Adirondack Mountains.
One afternoon fearful thunderstorm
came up. Before the tempest broke it
was almost black as night. The air be-
came so still that even the leaves ceased
to rustic.
Nature was silent. save here and there
when we heard a frightened bird twitter
as she flew away to her nest and young.
Then the winds began to blow. And
, those great trees began to groan and
| Lend like monstrous human Laocoons
with their children in the fatal grip Of
destroying serpent dragging them down.
Then the heavens became at times like
great rivers of fire. The lightning struck
the earth again and again. The golden
grain, like wounded and dying deer,
bent the knee and pillowed the head in
the mud. Everywhere were the awful,
terrific exhibitions of a supernatural pow
| er.
Amid this battle scene of the elements,
a party of men were gathered in a barn
bat short distance fro the hotel piazza.
| In that company was IN in6del, bias
| pheming scoffer. When the conversation
turned upon the power of God, he arose
| and said:
Even in this storm l am not afraid
to defy God" He stepped to the open
| barn door and raised his arms, as lie
cried: Course God; strike if you dare
Immediately there was fash, and the
| blasphemer fell dead. The God who
had uttered the words of my text had
| heard.
God in one stroke of the unsheathed
sword of fire made that blasphemer an
swer for his crime. Oh, my profane
| brother and sister, as the doom of the
blasphemer sooner or later is bound to
come, dare you to-day curse God? Dare
| YOU longer defy his willI

RESURRECTION AS A REALITY.
Nv Rev John d. Leek

The battle-ground of Christianity does
not center in the church, the Bible or the
atonement. but in the resurrection of
Christ According to Strauss, This is
the center of the center-the real heart
of Christianity" If He rose from the
dead His words are truth, His works
are eternal, aud His nature is divine. His
resurrection is established by many Strik-
ing proofs. If transpired in historic
times. We know the time, place and
circumstances of the great ey IT
These are all infinitely related in the
writings of the apostles, Josephus and
Tacitus. The new tomb which contain
ed His body, under seal and guard of the
Roman power, was found vacant and was
investigated by the women, the disciples
and the authorities.
His resurrection appealed to the
senses. He was seen ten times. heard

II took place in public under the oh
servatiou of most reliable witnesses who
could not have been deluded, since it con-
trsdicted their expectations, affected
many individuals and several of their
senses at one and the same time.
The unique claims, character and
works of Christ rel -er His resurrection
probable. and He manifested the same
spirit. the same exaltation and the same
mower after as before His resurrection.
While the early church differed on
several doctrines, it never disagreed on
the resurrection of Christ The strength
of our contention is exhibited by the
weakness of the Jewish claim that His
disciples stole His body. The bestow-
ment Of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, tile
resurrection power of the early chnrch,
the rapid progress it made, the monu-

that He rose from the dead. He is

HARMONY WITH GODS WILL.
BY Rev. ~ g. Jennings. D.

Harmony with God's viii is a positive
thing. 1t is not a reluctant acquias-
ceace. hut a glad sdbmissiOn, joyful ODE
dience. When we get down to this con-
dition we know something Of the JOY OF
doing the viii of God. One result OF be-
ing in harmony with Gods viii IS 4 larger
life, more life and fuller. Man was
made fer God. In him we i've aud move
and have our being. God is mans en-
vironment. God is mans atmosphere,
Man attains to fullest life when in har-
uony with God. God Is the adjuster OF
my life inward 10 all my external sur
rvundings. Sin came as disturbing
force and put man in discord with God
