SUNDAY.

The program as arranged for Sunday was successfully present. ed.
 First, music by the orchestra, followed by the invocation by Rev. J. C. Williamson, of Greenwood, Ark. \ vocal solo by D. E. Richer was highly pleasing 10 his attentive listeners.
 The text of the sermon by Dr. John was rom Daniel s 22+-25. His topic, the story of the Hebrew children who. for their eonric- tions, dared tie wrath of the king, preferring death in the fiery fur- nace to life at the sacrifice of religious principles.
 Opinions are quite different from convictions. Opinions may be Of little importance, but for his convictions a brave man may even dare to dIe. Men aay be wrong in their convictions, but they must still be true to them. Armies fighting on oppositr>ides may each be true to its conFic- tions. though one must surely be wrong. Better do wrong, think ing you're right, than right, thinking it=wrong Better aim at the tiger and kill the man than aim at the nan and kill the tiger.
 Men are never martyrs for their opinions. There are thousand opinions to one conviction. There k no greatest thing in the world. but the greatest thing of its kiud k q conviction. II was conviction that sent the tremb- ling Esther unbidden 10 the king. 1t was=a "hIm that extended the seepter, t was a whim ot the kings daughter to take the infant from lis ark in the river side; t was a conviction that caused Moses to dare the vengeance of Pharoh. Herodas was moved by q purpose; John by conviction.
 Better the head upon bloody charger that upon the shoulders of moral coward. Better Saul than Judas. Convictions never compromise. Paul said T am feadyto be offered up Majestic is the sweep of the planets, more majestic is the sweep of an om- nipotent conviction around the throne of God.

 Chautauqua

tIle dttQmpanunert.
 Alter these preliminary eNer- eise> Df. John delivered his pro found lecture, "ptd man make God, or did God make manzs We will not attempt 10 follow the speaker to the depths of his logic or the heights of his eloquence, but content ourselves with repeat ing few of lis pertinent say ings. One man wrote God with little "g and his own name with capital letter. Man exist cd in the eternal purpose of God ages before he appeared on earth. Iie was thought before he was I thinker. Tlle Bible#wa> given te man for his salvation, to teach him his duty and his destiny; not to instruct him in science, but to teach hlm theway Of life.
 The speaker presented the moral and intellectual objections to the Bible as stated by tie late Robert IngersoI, the American agnostie so prominent few years ago. Lis mofzl objection that God is cruel, saaage, unjust and partial were mst and ably answered. Man can have but q partialyiew of Gods great plans and purposes. The mite cannot judge the infinite Life is the gift ot God iH trust. Hell is here and now. There is 10 hell but that whose fires are kindled by sin and the transgression of Gods laws
 Tie intellectual objections to the Bible are being answered day by dagin the =1abratorles Of the scientists and tHe archives of the archaelogist. The Mosaic ac- counts once deemed absurd are in the light of modern science found to be uncomprehended truths. The closing sentences embodied a strong appeal to search diligent- IY for truth.
 At the conclusion of the lecture all united ln singing God be with you tlll we meet again, when the benediction was pro- nounced and the ninth annual Chautauqua was of the past.
 Althougt the exact figures can not be given at this time it k known that the Chautaugpa has been a financial success, and that after all bills have been paid there will be small balance on hand. The program this year cost more than 1t did last year, and the sale of season tickets was not quite so large. All persons who owe for season tickets are requested to please call on the secretary and settle, and if any one has any claims against the Chautauqua Association they are requested to present same.
 So far as we have been able to learn the program this year gave general satisfaction, and no con- plaints have been heard. Ar engagements are now under way for next years Chautauqua.

Some Questions.

The Bison Bee pertinently asks
the business men of that town the
following questions:
Do you sell goods to your
customer, or does he buy them of
you9 Do you give the customer
the worth of his moneys Do you
realize that this is a free country3
Do you know that a man will buy
where his money will go the farth-
est9 Do you blame a man for
buying where he can get it the
cheapestG DO you realize the i'm
portance of holding the farmers
trade9 Do you make your whole
sale house stand back of their
guarantee, and furnish your GUS
toner a new pair of shoes for those
that we're faulty, or did you shield
your house by persuading your
customer to buy a new pair Of
shoes at a 15 cent cut9 Don't you
think the mail order houses are
shrewd advertisers? Do you know
that the mail order houses are
educating the farmer in regard to
prices of all commodities2 Do
you know that you have got to
meet your competition if you want
to get business? Do you know
that every house has a catalogue
from some mail order house9 Do
you place your wares before the
public as does the cat" house9

acre farm. Mr.. Brown is one of the

and today it is worth over s., 900.
But during these years Mr..
Brown has added three more
quarters to his original home
