Heavenly Recognition"

"Heavenly Recognition" at the Frs.
Christian church Sunday evening.
Rev. Cross took his text from r Cor.
1912:
"For now we see in a mirror darkly.
but then face to face: now I know in
part: then shall I know fully even
also as I have been known fully"
Rev. Cross said in part: Shah we
know each other in heaven? &s
This is the question for which the
human heart Graves an answer. :sr
If life is a part of God it can not
die. If life does die, part of God dies
God breathed into man the breath of

The opposite of life is death AS
God stands for good, the devil stands
for evil. Sin has for its logical re-

lean much upon his official board: that
he came asking the love of his CON
eregation His text was Matthew
20:27: 4
"And whosoever will be chief among
YOU. let him be your servant"
The speaker said that of all the liv-
ing and moving things of this earth,
man was the only cne with face point
ed upward, and of all the living mov-
ing things of this earth. man was the
only one with an ambition to aspire to
higher things, hence it was mans ma
ture to aspire to the higher things of
this life-in society. in matters of COM
merce. in the arts. and in the sciences
to aspire. but that at the present day
the aspirations Cf too many people
were not directed toward the proper
end-that of bettering the condition of
their fellowman and the glory of God.
Tco many aspired to excel in all the
higher attachments of this life merely
for self glorification. He spoke of the
two disciples who aspired to sit one
at the right hand of the Lord and the
other at the left. The other ten dis
ciples complained of this aspiration
on the part of the two. and thought
they were aspiring to too much great
ness. The Lord rebuked the ten. and
commended the two fer their high as
pira tions as they were seeking not
merely greatness for themselves. but
sought to honor and glorify the Lord.

wv York, Sept 4.-Writius insur-
ance for large amounts on persons
about to die is the new lead which the
Armstrong committee intends to fol
How in its investigation. The commit
ttee has in its possession evidence that
extensive fraud was worked in these
graveyard Insurance. polieies-that
the writing of policies for large
amounts on persons about to die has
been in many companies q common
form of insurance bribery.
Physicians have volunteered tGsti-
mony which will go to prove that this
fraudulent practice has been in vogue
for many years. and the committee
has already struck upon a plan which
it believes will bring the frauds to
light. This plan will involve a com
parison of old policies and the COM
pany's medical records.
The medical records of policy-hold-
ers insured as in good health will also
be compared with their history. to see
il they died soon after the policy was
taken out of any slow or chronic dis
ease.
Despite the return of the loan ad-
vanced by the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society to the Depew Improve
ment company, Senator Chauncey NJ
Depew will be required to testify in
the hearing before the Armstrong in
svestigating committee and to reveal
under oath the Transactions leading
up to the advance to the company
which bears his name of quarter of a
million dollars upon an amount of Sc
curity that has since been admitted
to have been insufficient
According to member CT the COM
mlttee one of the matters that will
be brought up is the report that the
Equitable and other insurance COM
panies have been called on frequently
to contribute largely to the Republi-
can campaign fund. 1t was asserted
yesterday that if the evidence shows
this to be a fact beth Cornelius N.
Bliss and B. B. Odell, Jr, will be sum-
moned to the witness chair.
Subpoena servers have succeeded
IN serving the principal officers of the
Equitable. Mutual, New York Life,

these companies will give counsel for
the committee enough to work on for
several weeks. Other companies will
be investigated later.
