PROVIDING FOR THE FUTURE.

There is one problem that dominates

is the question of providing for the home

SLEEP AND DEATH.


NeItner rain Nor CONSEQUENCES ~ enc
instant Of Either.
The phenomenon called sleep may be
summed up IN the following propcsi.
tions. says q writer In the Cosmopoli-
tan;
First--Sleep IN temporary death Of
the functions OF the sensitive system,
due to- exhaustion by fatigue.
Sccondly--This death is temporary
because the vital system continues 10
perform its functions during sleep and
restores the sensitive organs to their
normal condition.
For our purpose death may be con-
sldered under tho three heads--natura
death. sudden death and death from
disease. Natural death Is death from
old age. II differs from natural sleep
only In degree.
The gradual loss OF sensibility by the
sensitive Organs which precedes sleep
now takes place In the vital system,
and all tho organs pass into permanent
sleep together There can be no pain
preceding or at the moment OF such a
death. any more than there Is pain pre-.
ceding or at the moment Of passing
into temporary sleep.
Sudden death may be defined as
death due to sudden injury from
without or within the body sufficient
to destroy at once all irritabillty Of
both the sensitive aud vital systems.
II requires no argument TO prove that
q person who Ia suddenly stricken dead
can suffer no pain. The element OF
time must be present In order TO suffer
physical pain, and In the sudden death
OF o person the element Of time 10 alb.
sent.
We come now to consider the third
and by far the most frequent form Of
death--nameiy, death from disease.
An soon as disease is established dy.
ing begins, which Is but more rapid
than natural ceaslng of all senslbIli-
ties, accompanied with more OIL, less
suffering. according to the cause which
produces II. This dying and suffering,
called disease, must terminate either
In 90 called death, which Is lnsenslbil-
ity to II, or In recovery. which is re-
moval Of the cause Of II. But In any
event the suffering has been endured,
no matter whether tho finai termina-
ton Ia death or recovery,
No one Is conscious OF or can recall
the moihent he passes from waking in
to natural or temporary sleep. Nor
shall we. by supreme agony" or In
any other way. be conscious Of passing
Into permanent sleep.
Being born and dying are the two
most important physiological events In
the life history Of our bodies, and we
shall know no more about the latter
event at the time II occurs than we did
about the former.

There is no material difference in
the wheat prospects from that re-
ported by the official correspondents
one month ago, the prospect for the
state as whole being now esti-
mated at 80 per cent. compared
with any average, gain of one
point over the estimate Of July
LIST. This is far below the excellent
prospect of one year ago, but in
computing the general average pros
pect for the state as whole, con-
sideration must be given the very
low prospect reported from some of
the northwestern counties, which
tends to reduce the general aver
age for the state. AT this date last
year there was marked uniformity
in the percentage estimates on
wheat-not a county in the state
reporting the prospect at less than
90 per cent. while in this report
the estimates range from 2S per
cent in Auglaize county to 81 per
cent. in Madison county.
The harvest has been unusually
late, the report showing that in
comparison with last year it has
been retarded about two weeks.
Where threshing has been complet-
ed the correspondents generally re-
port the yield and quality Of the
grain as satisfactory. In many
sections heavy rainfalls have fol-
lowed cutting, and there is some
complaint Of damages to wheat in
shock. Threshing will soon be COM
pleted, when the actual product

PRoGRM FOR TODAY.

The program for today at the camp
meeting was as follows:-
Sabbath School was held at $50
a. m, and consisted of four divisions,
lthe senior and junior divisions hold
ling their study in the large tent, the
primary anS kindergarten divisions In
separate smaller tents located farth-
Ter back on the grounds. DR.. H. w.
Miller, who is home on short visit
after several years work in China as
Ia medical missionary gave short
talk on the work in that field. The
attendance was about four hundred.
The sermon of the forenoon,
preached by Elder G.. A. Irwin, vice
president of the Seventh-day Ad-
lventist General Conference, was based
upon Matt 24:14, "And this gospel of
the kingdom shall be preached on
all the world for a witness unto all
nations, and then shall the end come"
The speaker showed from the same
chapter that this text had reference
to the closing work of the Lord In
the earth, and had special reference
to the second coming of Christ in
this generation and the setting up OF
His eternal kingdom. This important
llesson was enforced by reference TO a
large map Of the world. showing that
this gospel OF the kingdom is being
preached in all the principal nations
lof the world as well as in many of
the islands OF the sea. and that II Is
being published in ffty-two of the
Heading languages OF the world. The
sun does not set upon a nation that
has not heard something of this last
message that is TO prepare a people
for the coming OF the Lord. 1t only
remains to push out from these prn.
cipal stations until the whole world
win have heard the joyful message oi
Christ's return, and then the end will
lcome.
