ERRON
TEACHING
FROM PULPIT


It is remarkable the erroneous
teaching that is being done through
out the religious world, because al
most everyone is teaching, while ful-
~ 90 per cent of them are wholly in
competent as to correct Information
and training There are two great
Christian churches in which no one
not thoroughly Informed and train
ed, is allowed to teach at all. Hence
all religious teaching is autTorative,
and conseq uently the doctrines are
taught in harmony with the church
standards. | know another church
in which there is such liberty in in
terpretation5 that there are almost as
many different expositions OF the doc
trines Of salvation as there are diff
ferent members.
This presents a fearful state Of af
fairs as 10 Biblical interpretation,
while no one but a finished Biblical
scholar has. any business making any
affort at original and authoritative
exposition OF the Scriptures. The
best they can do, is to follow some
ore who is able to interpret the
Scripture correctly,
Materializing the Spiritual.
Having att}ndod district, county,
division, state, national and interna-
r~L~l1
and being and official for years I
have visited a great number of Sun
day schools and have heard a vast
amount OF teaching. | visited school
in large stone church one Sunday
nt3rning and took seat in the BIZ
bic class and the teacher was on the
first chapter of Johns gospel. He
was just saying that he Believed when
God made Adam he just took the clay
and modelled and shaped Adam with
his hands, jast so. | said to him after
pause: Brother, God has no
hands" He quickly responded
sNhat does he mean when he told
Moses to get in the cleft Of rock and
He would pass by with His hinder
parts. and if the scene was greater
than He could bear, He would cover
him with His hands p | responded
Ills hand was simply a figure Oh
speeeh-a symbol of power. The
first article of your creed says: God
is Spirit without body or parts
This settled it and he went on giving
his learned % expositions Of the les
son.
The minister of the same fine
church said in a sermon, that yor
might pile the music and instru-.
ments ia a pile and burn them arc

music which was planted in the
breast of every tone After the ser
mon I said to the divine, being inti

that music was planted in the sou

the organs of the head-tlre BRAIN

"Cast philosophy TO the winds! I
never saved a soul" Afterward
said to him: Doctor, would yo

Plato. Aristotle, Kante, Locke, Leib

the function of philosophy to formu
hate plan OF salvation on a systen
.of theology. That is within the do
main of theology He was great,
surprised that he had made a mis-
take.

spiritual WiCkedness In High
Places"

The taxpayers of the state owe a
debt of gratitude to the Des Moines
Capital, for it's exposure of the graft in
Obliged in by the legislature in regard
to the appointment of committee clerks,
which resulted in the adoption by the
House, of rule requiring, that all APP
plicants be subjected to examination
and be found competent stenographers
before they were eligible to appoint
ment; and in the cutting down by
about one half Of the clerical force.
But the senate stubbornly refused to
adopt such rule, the justice of which
is patent to all. Consequently the old
graft of appointing as many and as in
competent clerks as ever is still rife
in that body. 1t is an easy way to pay
off personal party obligations at the
expense of the people, or to provide
public plums for favorites. But the
people are awake and their eye is upon
these keepers Of their trust. The graft
er in office, the salary grabbers in con-
gress and their kind are responsible
for the part of many otherwise helpless
taxpayers to seek to evade taxation.
Ii our country ever falls from it's high
estate into anarchy and disruption
these disloyal Office holders are the
real criminals.

A Valentine Party.

Mrs. A. P. Olsen was hostess at a
Valentine party last Friday afternoon,
40 lady guests being present. The
house decorations were very pretty,
being Cupid's marks, hearts, and they
were everywhere in great profusion.
Each lady represented an advertise
ment, and the variety of the illustra tions
to be recognized as represented were
ridiculously funny and amusing. The
lady familiar with the greatest number
of the advertisements received prize,
Mrs. E. H. Sharp being the winner.
Then each one was requested to write
on their heart valentine to friend or
sweetheart. Miss Henrietta Vogt was
adjudged the poet of Cupid, her valen-
tine being as follows:
ITO My Love: send thee heart and
hope to win you e'er we part. If your
hair is red and your nose is long. my
love for you is just as strong
Delicious refreshments were served,
and the guests departed having enjoyed
very happy afternoon.

a special display of electrical fixtures
in the show window at Bell & Robin

agent for the new Tantalum lights.
which are advertised in this issue and
in the display window he has two ordi-
nary meters, with Tantalum lamp at
tached to one and the regular lamp to
the other, which demonstrates that
while the Tantalum gives considerable
more light it does not consume near as
much current. If you have not seen
the display call and look at it. Mr..
Ketcham will furnish you with any kind
of electric goods, electric fixtures and
install them in your residence or store.
1t is an enterprise which has been need

considerable experience in electric
work at Des Moines and Denver and

The ruling of Judge Towner in throw
ing out all those upon the grand jury
panel who have been clerks or judges
of election when their names were put
in, will have an effect upon the Day
Dunning case which is on the docket
for trial. The cases against Dunning
were continued until the next term Of
court but as it is known that at least
one juror who indicted Dunning was an
election Judge it is expected that
Cummings attorneys will move to quash
the indictments upon the ground that
they were illegally drawn which will
throw all cases against him out of court
and the Ringgold county people who
lost their money in the Dunning bank
will have to present the evidence to a
new grand jury, secure a new indict.
ment and go through the whole matter
again. 1t is questionable whether this
will be done although the anger against
Dunning in Ringgold county is still
pronounced.-Osceola Democrat.

H. H. Hawkins and John w. WATSON,
of the real estate firm of Hawkins,
WATSON & Warner. of Hereford, Texas,
visited over Sunday in this city, having
been up closing up a $1,000 deal in
northern Missouri for some of their
Pan Handle lands, which they were ex-
changing for Missouri farm land. This
firm is doing a big business in real
estate in that booming Texas country
Last week they sold G. M. Ketcham, OF
this city, half section of land, in
which they secured the fine residence
lots in south Leon owned by Mr.
Ketcham, on which his house burned a
few years ago. These gentlemen are
thoroughly posted on the value OF
Texas lands and predict still further
advances in the price of Texas land, as
they think the real boom in land values
has only commenced.

At the January teachers examination
held by county superintendent Long
there were four applicants for certifi-
Gates, but when the examination papers
were returned from Des Moines it was
found that only one of the applicants
had passed. 1t is evident that under
the new law there is going to be
trouble ahead for the teachers whose
certificates will expire this year and
it will probably result in big shorta gs
of teachers for next year.
