Subjects of discourses next Sun

Last Sunday morning the
pastors subject was Putting God
to the Proof and the text was
from Malachi $40. Prove me
now herewith saith the Lord OF
hosts, and the idea was empha-
sized that by making use of the
tests prescribed in the Bible the
things of the kingdom of God"
which to the average Christian
are only probabilities may become
certainties and he may know the
things that are freely given to US
Of Cod.
The invisible universe is as real
as the visible. The phenomena OF
mind and feeling and will and
conscience are as real and actual
entities as the phenomena OF
matter. And as science is simply
a classification of verified facts
from which the laws of the uni
verse are discovered, 1t follows that
the a true religion has as real a
scientific basis as any OF the
branches of natural science. The
patient investigator has gathered
up the unalterable facts of nature
deducted from them the general
laws which underlie these phe-
nomena and we call it the science
Of optics, chemistry, astronomy
etc. And in the same way holy
men of old moved by the Holy
Ghost have by experience dis
covered the laws of the Spiritual
Universe and formulated them in
he Bible and called them the law
If God. The professor of natural
science in the callings will en-
his students not simply to
receive the statements of his text
books, upon faith, but as far as
possible try the experiment for
himself, and verify the fact as
given in his lesson, in other words
put nature to the proof and thus
learn by experiment the truthful
ness of the statements given in his
text book.
And so God the Divine Professor
of Spiritual Science says to the
Christian, prove me, put me to the
test, try the experiment for your
self in regard to the laws / have
given you in the Bible, and you
shall find your religion is founded,
not upon bare probability, but
there will come into your life a
certainty of the blessed realities of
the invisible kingdom of God.
Such was the experimental evil
dence possessed by Paul when he
said Il know whom l have be-
lieved" or Job when he wrote Il
know that my Redeemer liveth"
or John who said We know that
we have passed from death unto
life. Agnosticism, or unbelief is
unexcusable. All you need to dc
is to try the experiment as directed
in the Bible or as our text tells us
Prove me now herewith saith ths
Lord Of hosts, and you will fiuc
that though at first my assurances
does not seem obvious or ever
reasonable, you will find by faith
full experimentation that my state
ments are always correct and M,

3 of the Bodies Taken From River.

Sunday added another chapter to the fatal launch party calamity near Clarendon Tuesday evening of last week, yet it has inspired the hope that all the bodies of the victims will be recovered, three having been taken from the river Sunday.
 At about ? o'clock Sunday morning the watchers on the steamboat Aida were rewarded by seeing a body float ing on the water in the middle of the river, about half mile below where the accident happened and upon in. vestigation it proved to be that of Dr. A. l.. Houston. IL was immediately taken from the water and taken to Clarendon and found to be fairly well preserved.
 A few hours later the watchers were again rewarded by finding the body of Miss Lillian Winfield, and still later on in the day. the body of Miss Hattie Counts was discovered floating down the river nearly three miles below the place where she was drown ed
 The funeral of Dr. Houston was held at the Methodist church Sunday af- terneon, the sermon being preached by Rev. Mir. Cayett. The Knights Temrlar, together with all the Masons of the town, attending in body. Al tel the religious services a Masonic service was held. Relatiyes, ac- companied by Hon. T. H. Jackson, representing Ghandos Commandery Knights Templar, and R. r. Milwee, representing the other Masonic lodges 10 which Dr. Houston belonged, left with the body over the Cotton Belt railroad for Decatur, Ala, where in- terment took place Monday
 The funerals of the two young la dies whose bodies were recovered took place Monday That of Miss Matte Counts was held at the Meth odist church at 9 o'clock and the burial was at Shady Grove cemetery. The funeral of Miss Lillian Winfield was conducted at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at 12 o'clock, and the body was taken to Holly Grove and intered il ,faeeds1ia cemetery. the burying ground of the family
 The river is being watched contin- uously and it is now confidentially believed that every one of the bodies will be recovered within a very short time.

Start Movement for Lieutenant
 Governor.

Little doubt exists that a concerted effort will be made at the next session of the state legislature to alter the constitution so that Arkansas may have a lieutenant governor Several legislators have already declared that they would be in favor of such change in the constitution, expressing the belief that Arkansas would be confronted with no more gubernatorial dilemmas if the state were provided with lieutenant governor.
 Friends of Senator H. B Mckenzie Of the Twentieth senatorial district state that he is already planning to introduce a movement at the next ses- sion of the senate providing for lieutenant governor.
 Similar expressions are reported to have come from other legislators. As yet, however, none of the legislators have prepared any definite plan to be presented before the general assem-. bly,
