Gods Long Suffering.

He is still long-suffering, merciful and grateful, forgvng iniquity, transgression and sin. And O, how long he has waited for somebody, perhaps through childhood and youth even manhood, and in some cases even to old age. He has said, "l will reprove thee and set thy sins be- fore thine eyes" This judgment is with held in his long-suffering and it may be thought that he is indifferent, but he is only waiting to spare chance But he has said. q will reprove thee"
 God waited. long for Sodom, but the warning was not needed, and then came the fire like dark angel of death. He waits long but not always l do not say that he is going to infiict some terrible calamity but it is written that he that has hardened his heart shall suddenly be cut off without remedy. What is the meaning? I do not pretend to say. I do know, though, that it is written in the book of God. and o, who is so low as to confront this mystery-the misery of death.
 I once had a conservation with an h. dian chief and asked him if he was try ing to be religious man. He replied, 'No." then asked him if he did not think he ought to prepare for some future land. He said he did not know. that he thought he had better have as good time as possible while on earth, that he did not know what the future held for him. I told him that that was only the way men had of talking and asked him it he did not think men should adjust themselves to the best He replied. No He said he was uncertain of the future.
 l tell you, my friends, there lies the one great trouble We discount the future, the life and the world to come. And who is so bold that he will take such hazard on his shoulders? Prepare and adjust yourself to the best for while God is long suffering he will not wait always. The love of Jesus, like a radiant star. beams upon you from afar. Act now or life is past

DRAWS LESSON FROM STRICKEN : SODOM Dr. Evans Second Sermon for
 Young Men PREPARE FOR THE BEST Who Will Take On His Shoulders the Great Hazard of Discouptine the
 Future?-Act Before
 Life Is Past.
PREPARE FOR THE BEST

The Rev. pr. W. E. Evans preached at the Church of the Advent last night the second of a series of sermons to young men on "The Doomed City of Sodom, making application of the destruction, of Sodom to the destruction of the unpre- pared soul Dr. Evans took as his text the 2sth verse of the 18th chapter of Genesis: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld. and, 10, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace Speaking, Dr.. Evans said, in part:
 About 30 miles from Jerusalem there is an inland sea called by many names, the Sea of the Plain, the Lake of Asphalt and a number of others; but it is known better to us, perhaps, as the Dead Sea. This body of water is 1900 feet below the level of the Mediterranean, over ROO feet deep, 10 miles long and about miles in width It is a motionless body and forbidding, between steep barriers of rock. There is a decided and solemn gloom about it and the water is charged with a distinct saline poison, so strong that it smarts the eyes. There are no four ishing plants about it, nor any shells in it, and fish that are carried down into the water soon die and float on the surface The shrubbery which grows up about it is soon stricken and dies. Its banks are covered with an offensive black mud, and the life-giving current which flows into it does not purify it, but the fresh water itself becomes poisoned It has no outlet, yet never rises above it's banks

Like an unqenerous Life.

"This lake is like an ungenerous life always ready to receive, but never giving forth anything. Three thousand years ago where the sea now lies there stood two famous cities, Sodom and Gomorrah. They were located on the plain and grew in wealth, but also in conspicuous wick edness. The men of Sodom were very wicked God had done everything for the city. but. it's people were resolved to solve the problem Of their own destruc- ton. And finally their destruction came. The weight of opinion leans toward one theory. It is a well known fact that in that country bitumen was general. Jo- sephus said that the Dead Sea sent up great masses of asphalt, and this same occurrence happened again as late as 1884.
 "God employed the natural agencies in | the destruction of Sodoiil. He struck the earth with lightning, ignited the bitumen and destroyed. the cities by volcanic forces. This also accornts for. the sink l ing of the sea Sodom ands Gomorrah passed off the face of the earth abso- lutely.
 For many generations the cities, in ruins, could be seen through the waters, so it is said, but this is doubtful. There | was a legend of the sailors that often as they travelled over the sea when 1t was rough they could see palaces under the water and they heard the ehiming of bells carried up by the undercurrent.
 Destruction of Sodom.

pciS chiAiOu up py tic oiiNSi Soi ~-'s' Destruction of Sodom.
 The destruction of Sodom began in the
 morning. The sky became overcast, shutting off the light. Then the bell in
 the tower of doom struck the fatal hour
 and the cities fell. The earth rocked an1 opened it's ponderous jaws. There were ] women and children in pain. There were women with babies in their arms; there
 were prisoners still in their shackles l and there were men with their bags of
 jewels and money. o. the horror of it all l the heplessness of all. We can stand in 1 the valley of the Jordan and view the l desolate sea now. Once there stood city | of pomp and spectacle, lovely and splen- 1 did. But the fiery vengeance came and l spoke on Sodoms slumber.
 | There arc several truths suggested by
 the destruction of the city. The patience
 and long g-suffering. of God are vividly il-
 lustrated. God waited lond and withheld | this destruction. It was plain that Sodom
 had sinned beyond redemption, and the
 patience of God was despised. He is not

columns. By reason of the great work
the reclamation service is and has
been doing here for some years past
there is probably no section in the
United States that is now attracting
more attention. People from all over
he country have their eyes on the
Salt River valley. Hundreds of these

while there will naturally make it a
point to look up Arizona's exhibit.
Whether or not they shall be disap-
pointed rests with the people of the
valley and a share of the responsibility
rests with the people of this district.
The opportunity to show to the world
what Tempe can raise is now open and
everyone should come to the front and
help the cause along for all he is worth
Now it is necessary to raise $3.50 to
meet Temples share of the fund that
will make this exhibit possible. 1t was
suggested at the Monday evening
meeting that ere long it would be
necessary to raise still more money
for other purposes. 1t costs money to
make a board of trade an effectual or
ganiZation, and unless it is effectual
it is little better than no board. 1t
costs money to advertise, and all read
ers of The Republican know the board
is now having printed some thousands
of pamphlets descriptive of Tempe and
vicinity for general distribution. II
was deemed advisable rather than
make this effort for the congress fund
at once and a second one later on for
the other purposes, to make one grand
effort all at once and raise $500 1t is
estimated that this amount will pay
the Irrigation congress expense and
leave in the treasury of the board a
fund that win be sufficient to meet
all expenses for some time to come. II
was agreed to call this the Five Hun
dred Dollar Fund.-" and it is to be rails
ed by subscription. This need not
strike terror to the hearts of readers,
for $500 is small amount when con-
tributed by many people. II need not
be looked at as a contribution, but
rather as an investment. A man has
no hesitation IN putting a few dollars
into something that he feels confident
will make a good return on the invest

A $500 FUND

Every Man In This Section
Urged to Help the Good

As mentioned briefly in yesterday
mornings Republican, the Tempe
board Of trade held a meeting Monday
evening at which time the chief topic
under consideration was the raising
of the necessary funds to carry on
publicity campaign to set forth to the
world at large the resources Of the
Tempe district AS stated some time
ago, the Tempe board has agreed to
raise 90 per cent of $3.50 to be used
in placing an exhibit at the National
Irrigation congress, which convenes at
Albuquerque, New Mexico, the last
of next month. This congress, the use

ment He should feel the same way
about putting money into the Tempe
board of trade. 1t is the best move
Tempe ever made. 1t is generally
agreed that all this town has lacked
for years is more publicity, and that
is what the board proposes to give it.
Already good results are being felt
there; people are being attracted to
the town and surrounding country and
the coming winter, after the pam
phlets have had time to work. many
more will be here. They will want
land, and demand creates value. Log
ically, therefore, the price of land is
bound to increase and also, logically,
if a man contributes a few dollars
toward a move that will enhance the
value of his property, may it not be
regarded as a good investment.
That's the way the board looks at
it. and that's the way the board wants
everyone else to look at it. Feeling
that the Tempe people are sufficiently
interested in their own welfare to help
the thing along. the following resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That a. Nelson be ap-

raising a fund of $4,000 to be used
in advertising the resources of Tempe
and surrounding country at the Ma
tional Irrigation congress, and in such
other ways as in the opinion of the
board will be most beneficial.
Mr.. Nelson viii devote some little
time to making a tour of the entire
Tempe section soliciting subscriptions
to this fund.
The board feels that everyone should
help out according to his worth, and if
the people of the Tempe district can
be made to see that il is to their ad-
vantage to push this matter along. the
$500 fund will ont be long in material
izing. Upon Mr.. Nelson devolves the
work of making the people see it in
this light and of collecting the money

bined efforts of the residents of Tenn
pc Mill make this town a better one
and the surrounding district just that
much more valuable Let every one
put his shoulder to the wheel and push
for bigger and better Tempe.
The board did other things Monday
night besides instituting the movement
toward raising this fund of $500. A
member of the board was appointed
TO act with the other boards of trade
of the territory in building up the
mineral exhibit that viii also be shown
at the congress. The preparation of
the Tempe end of the agricultural -eX-
habit was discussed at length and
Supt. Cook of the Pacific creamery,
made a suggestion that if carried out
will be great thing. He proposes that
a good lot of fruit of one kind and
another be frozen in a solid cake of
clear ice and be displayed at the con-
gress. 1t can be done nicely and will
certainly make a very attractive dis
play.
There is no getting around 1t. Tenn
pc is coming up the front and getting
nearer the top of the ladder every day
The board of trade is a great help and
all it needs is the cooperation of the
people it represents.

QUEEN OF THE WHITE SLAVES.


This great melodrama will be
presented at the Vance auditorium on
Thursday evening, August 9Th, by the
Earl Burgess company, which is now
playing to crowded houses in Phoenix.
The play was written by Arthur j.
Lamb and is based on the series of
most thrilling adventures which befall
a beautiful American girl and her
sweetheart, who is a member of the
u. s. secret service. These adventures
are brought about by the Vaccinations
of a branch of the "Highbinders,
whose awful deeds have terroriZed the
Pacific slope for many years, and
while many have been arrected and
brought to trial. conviction has been
impossible. owing to the dread in
which they are held.
The story of The Queen of the
White Slaves" was suggested to Mr..
Lamb about two years ago when an
attempt was made to abduct a we'll
known society girl in San Francisco.
Fortunately the police discovered the
attempt in time to prevent it. The
production is on large scale, many
of the scenes being magnificent, while
others are startling in their mechani-
cal ingenuity. The prices will be 25.
