are very generally discsrding the
doctrine of eternal torment as
being contrary to reason. But,
alas, thinking that it is taught in
the Scriptures, these same intelli-
gent people are rejecting the Bible,
losing faith in it, drifting into
unbeliet in general, into Christian
Science, spiritualism, tn O.

in proving to you that the Scrip

earnestly and prove every assertion
most conclusively from the Script
ures. God forbid that l should
treat lightly a subject which has
caused more distress, more heart
ache, more sorrow of mind, than
all other subjects combined /;
caused these dist resses to the very
best amongst the Lords followers,
l care not to specially address
those who are so selfish as to re-
gard merely themselves and tkeir
family corrections. and who are
quite content that all others might
suffer an eternity Of tolture so
long as their friends are saved
from such a calamity. l would
reach especially those whose hearts
and heads have been troubled all
most to the extent of distraction
over this subject-those who have
wept and prayed as they remem-
bered sons and daughters, friends
and neighbors, parents and chill
dren who had died without having
accepted Jesus as their Savior,
without having taken upon them
the only name given under heaven
and amongst men whereby we
must be saved.
II hold that it is the best of
Gods people, the tenderest of
heart, the most Christianlike, who
have trouble with the question of
eternal torment. l know how to
sympathize with them because
once l had similar distress of mind,
and, like others, was obliged to
say: "If l believe this doctrine
and mediate upon IL IL will surely
make me crazy, as it has done
hundreds and thousands ofothers.'
Such loving hearts have found a
pallation but not a relief, not a
satisfaction, in the thought that
so mellow, perhaps, somewhere, at
sometime, Gods character would
be cleared of the dreadful stain
cast upon it by this doctrine which
we believe to be the teaching of
Gods book, the Bible.

ONCE ASHAMED OF GOD.

81, too, once so believed and
feared, and was ashamed of my
God because of the injustice, love-
lesness, devilishness implied in the
theory taught me from infancy,
that God, knowing the end from
the beginning, had created our
race under conditions as we see
them; that he provided a great
place called hell for their torture,
and created corps Of fire-proof
devils to attend to the matter, and

that heaven consists of the Gar

ROMANCE OF A PIE PLATE.

Maine Young Mans Message Wins
Girl San Francisco Fire Sufferer.
Skowhegan, Me, June Sin spite of
the fact that the ca 'thquake section is
far removed from the New England pie
belt, 1000 900 pie p ates were shipped
on an order from the Keyes Fiber Com
pany, of Skowhegan, to San Francisco
sufferers This was rush order and
was hurried at every stage Of transit.
An employe of the f; ctory wrote across
the smooth white surface Of a plate:
"Why don't you come to Maine. where
we have pies to fit these plates, and
where we don't have earthquakes? 2"
and signed his name.
AS soon as the n all could bring an
answer this employe. received the plate
in a heavy wrapper with the answer:
"There's no one to love me in Maine, is
there?" This was written in a femi-
nine hand and the llame was signed.
The pie-plate maker wrote AN affirm
ative answer to the pathetic question,
and he couched it in such terms that
it is likely one of the San Francisco
sufferers will at once start east, where
she will be undisturbed by quakes, for
the Young man has, solemnly pledged
himself to marry her if she comes east
and is rnarriageable

California Commission Gives Proba-
Bile Causes ard Extent Of Rift.
Sacramento, Cal, June 5.-The pre-
liminary report Of the state earthquake
investigation committee was received
yesterday at the office of Gov. Par
dee. In general terms, the causes Of
the earthquake movements are attrio-
uted to the theory that stresses are
generated in the esarth's crust and ac-
tcumulate until they exceed the strength
of the rocks composing the crust and
find relief in sudden rupture. The
earthquake Of April 1S is said to have
been due to one Of these movements
and the extent of the rift is described
as extending from the vicinity Of
Point Arena to the neighborhood of San
Juan, Benito county, distance of 1S5
miles. Modern classes of structures
appear to have heen relatively pass
i've, according to the report, while the
made ground in their vicinity was
profoundly disturbed. In San Francis

behaved as jelly In a bowl.

SUICIDE TOLD BY BOTTLE.
Sensational Report Of Fl. Madison
Mans Strange Act.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Madison, Ia. June 5.-Chief of
Police Kumleh received this morning
a communication from the chief of po-
lice at Keokuk stating that fisher
man had found in the Mississippi river
a bottle containing n note, which
stated that Edward Miller jumped from
the Santa Fe bridge at Fort Madison
February II, 1905, and that his body
would be found in the river.
The police here have made some In
quiries but have been unable to throw
any light upon the matter If man
by the name of Edward Miller did end
his life by jumping from the Santa Fe
bridge on the date mentioned his body
was carried down the river and was
never found in this locality.
Probably the writer of the note,
when he placed it in the bottle, was
trying to play hoax. No one by the
name of Edward Miller is known here.

SOCIALIST PROGRAM
Peasant Workmen Want Complete
Abolition Of Private Property
Would Begin With the Land.

st. Petersburg, June 5.-The extent
to which socialistic theories have taken
possession of the proletariat is evi-
denced by the agrarian program adopted
by the radical peasant workmen group
of the larger house of parliament which
aims ultimately not only at complete
naturalization of and it's attendant
total abolition of private property, but
socialization of industry. The pro-
gram provides for creation OF a ma
tional land fund from the crown,
church and private property exceeding
certain amount in value, the stare to
pay for appropriated property. and in
the cities factories and mills to be
gradually transferred to the state for
the benefit of the workmen. The mines
which at present are not being woc1-
ed, would, according to the program.
Immediately escheat to the state.
After taking such land as is needed
for the state and public needs. the re-
mainder would be distributed to any
body desiring to till it, preference be-
ing given to local agriculturists. If the
land in any locality is insufficient, the
state would furnish transportation TO
persons desiring to move where land
could be obtained. The workers OF
the soil would pay an occupation tax.
varying in accordance with the char
acter and amount of ground taken, and
persons without means of purchase of
agricultural implements would be en-
titled to receive credit from the land.

This contract was produced by coun-
sci for the railroad company. 1t was
dated Jan. II, 1901, and by its provis-
ions the coal company agreed to mine
at least one million tons of coal every
year, and the railroad agreed to fur

road further agreed TO interest itself in

number of smaller companies owned
by the New York Central. These COM

railroad. Concerning the policy of the
New York Central as to it's officials
holding stock in the coal mining COM
