AN ADVERTISEMENT.

This Is to advertise the fact that THE
ADVERTISER will be glad to have all its
subscribers who owe anything for sub
scriptions to call in and pay up.
They a pay at this season if they
ever "a pay. Most OF the subscribers
of The ADVERTISER are people who dc
pay.
OF course bills will be sent out as
usual. But 1t costs about three cents
to send out one bil.--not counting the
labor. Three per cent on one dollar is
a good deal Of money.
AS THE ADVERTISER has said, it is
difficult to print a paper at 81. a year.
it requires the hardest kind OF saving
Therefore it Is hoped that ADVERTISER
subscribers will not need another re.
quest and will make 1t a point to settle
now without waiting for bills.

Young John ID. Rockefeller has been
talking to his Bible class again. This
time he assures his fellow workers in
the Lords vineyard that "riches do not
bar one from salvation" Citing the
incident Of the rich young man who
asked the Savior what he should do
to inherit eternal life, young Mr.. Rookie
Teller said 1t was an exceptional case
and that Jesus had not intended his
answer to apply to all wealthy men.
Eiaborating his explanation of what
Christ meant John d., Jr. declared:
salvation depends upon whether the
man possesses the gold or the gold pos
sesses the man. The possession of
wealth will not bar one from heaven
1t is the improper use of it, and II is
not wealth alone of our possessions
which we should use righteousIy and
not unrighteously." 1t Is apparent that
the elder Rockefeller has said nothing
In the presence of the family circle to
Indicate that he shares Mr.. Carneeie's
opinion that man who dies rich dies
disSraced. Also it Is evident that the
young man has no present intention of
refusing to accept the money which he
expects to inherit or of making haste
TO distribute 1t among the masses when
II comes into his possession.
