Oklahoma and kslzona.

Washington, March 28.-The States of
Oklahoma and Arizona are created i'm a
bill which has been completed by the
Republican members of the sub.commit-
tee of the house committee on territories
The Democratic members are in posses
sion of the bill and after they have consi-
dered it for few days meeting of the
full subcommittee will be held. The
two States mentioned are composed of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory as "Okla-
homa" and Arizona and New Mexico as
Arizona.
The admission of the latter two Terrific
rics as States is not delayed by any re-
strictions of the law, but may be effected
as soon az convention can be called to
form State constitution. The bill pro-
vides, however, that Oklahoma and the
Indian Territory shall not be admitted as
State until the year 1906. BY this time
all the Indian lands will have been
allotted.

The Sheep That Was Lost.

On the Alcutsch Glacier | saw a
strons" and beautiful sight-the
parable of the "ninety and nine," re-
peated to the letter. One day we
were making our way with ice ak
and alpenstock down the glacier,
when we observed flock of sheep
following their shepherd over the
intricate windings between the
crevasses, and 80 passing from the
pastures on one side of the glacier to
the pastures on the other. The flock
had numbered two hundred all told.
Blu. on the way one sheep got lost.
One of the shepherds, in his German
patois, appealed to us if we had seen
it. Fortunately, one of the party
had field glass. With its aid we
discovered the sheep up amid a tangle
of brashwood on the rocky mountain
side.
1t was beautiful to see how the
shepherd, without word, left his
hundred and ninety-nine sheep out
in the glacier waste, knowing they
would stand there perfectly still and
safe, and went clambering back after
the lost sheep until he found it, and
he actually put it on his shoulders
and returned "rejoicing."
Here was the Lords parable en-
acted before our eyes, though the
shepherd was all unconscious of it.
And it brought our Lords teaching
home to us with vividness which
none can realize but those who saw
the incident.-Leaves of Light.

The Value OF Occasional Services.


Even occasional services bear fruit
eternity alone can measure. Thus,
fifteen years ago there was a revival
service in Colorado town. A
prodigal drifted into the meeting.
He was the son of godly parents in
New England, himself graduate of
a New England college. 1t had
been the hope of his parents that he
would be led into the ministry. He
became cowboy instead, and for
seven long, goddess years he rode the
range and sank from depth to lower
depth. But at that transcient SER
vice God found him. Stricken to
the heart he walked to the platform,
and with tears pouring down his face
confessed his evil course and begged
the help of prayer. Gods people
closed about him a wall of prayer
and salvation. That night the wires
flashed the message back to the New
England home, "Your long-lost boy
is found and saved" and throbbing
down the telegraph line came back
the response, "Thank God, our boy
still lives. Come home. Father
Mother" For more than a dozen
years that young man has been
preaching the gospel and has led
hundreds to Christ. Oh little rill
among the Colorado mountains, now
river of salvation sweeping on in
cvcr-widening power !'-The Assem-
bly, Herald.

Ina BIassed CLOUDS.

Often people complain OF clouds
that come over them; they would
like q life all sunshine. They forget
that where there are no clouds above
there is desert beneath, and that
burning sunshine, scorching winds,
and arid, treeless dssolation are the
results of cloudless skies. The clouds
give us shelter from the fiercest of
heat. The clouds give us rain to re-
fresh the thirsty soil. The clouds
drop fairness on all the hills and val
leys of the wilderness. The clouds
come to us and bring the treasured
wealth of lake and sea, and ocean,
and pour it out upon us.
Thanks be to God for the clouds,
and while we remember that the
Lord is sun, let us also remember
that he is also shield, and that
clouds and darkness are round and
about him, and justice and Judgment
are the habitation of his throne.
And if his clouds overshadow the
brightness of our life, it is to bring
to us new blessings such as we should
never gain amid scenes of cloudless
sunshine and uninterrupted pros
perity.
"Ye fearful saints fresh courage take, /.
The clouds ye so much dread,
Are big with meroies and shall break
In blessings on your head"

the, Records of Conventions in the

These are facsimile copies of the rec

attested by Jonas Fay. who was clerk
OF the conventions. Senator Proctor
found them in the library of Congress
and compiled them in the present form.
The records are supplemented with
other interesting history OF the early
days of the state, which adds to the
value and interest of the work.
The records are printed on heavy
book paper, the binding is in brown,
the outside containing a copy Of the
original seal of the state which was
used until 1921. The work makes a
valuable addition to any library, and
Senator Proctor has done a public
spirited act in making them available
at his own expense.
