GOD MUST REIGN WITHOUT A
RIVAL.

Jesus Christ did not declare new
truth when in His sermon on the
mountain He said in laundering
tones, "Ye cannot serve God and
Mammon, but gave strong emphasis
to a principle that had been known
nearly fourteen centuries Amidst the
roaring of the deep-toned thunders of
Sinai, and lightning $ flash and clouds
of appalling blackness, all of which
rocked the mountain from its glowing
summit to its granite base, God spoke
to Israel and said II am the Lord, thy
God. Thou shalt have no other gods
before me. Thou shalt not bow down
thyself to them nor serve them" The
peaceful Galilean Mount is the Subdu-
ed echo of the quaking, smoking Sinai.
People frequently enter into the
church fellowship and begin the SER
vice of God without seeming to real
ize this. They want to allow the same
motives and the same desires to control
their daily walks and conversations as
before their union with the church.
The solemn vow to renounce the world,
the flesh and the devil and all his
works, together with the vain pomp
and glory of the world and all covetu-
GUS desires of the same, is too often
regarded as a meaningless form.
God wants our whole service. He
wants us to dedicate all the powers of
our souls and bodies wholly to His SER
vice. He says, Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy soul, with
all thy heart, with all thy mind, with
all thy strength, with all thy body. "
And, surely, if we consider the mat
ter understandingly it is little enough
for each of us to give.
God is our creator and life preServ-
er. His love for us is never failing.
He has given US the most conclusive
proof of His mercy and His love, ''foI
greater love than this hath no man,
that a man lay down his life for his
friends" and Christ laid down His
life for us who we're His enemies.
Nov, the faithful Friend who hath
thus loved us and loves us still, asks
for the first place in our hearts and
affections.
God hates sin and will not tolerate
it in His presence. If in the human
heart there dwells a fondly cherished
sin, God will not compromise with il
but demands that the sin be cast out
even though it be az dear to us as th'
right hand, or the right eye. No hu
man heart is large enough to enthron,
Christ and sin at the same time. Coz
tolerates no rivals. and either we mus
cast out sin or God will cease to dwell
within our hearts.

HUNDREDS VISIT
ACCIDENT SCENE

Bodies of All Four Men TAX
en- Out by Experts From
Pennsylvania-On Bur
led Sunday.

BENTON, H., Nov. .. Hundreds
Of people gathered at the little city Of
Rend. near Benton yesterday to visit
che scene of the terrible explosion
which occurred last Thursday after
noon and brought death to four young
men besides wrecking the mine.
The bodies of the dead miners have
all been recovered and one was buried
at Rend City yesterday, the other three
we're shipped to different points The
victims of the explosion were all
young men and two were married.
Several from here visited the mine
yesterday. 1t is interesting to know
how the bodies of the unfortunate men
were recovered. The rescuing party
had worked for hours and hours and
had braved many dangers in an effort
to reach the bodies but had been un-
successful up to Saturday. The party
was lead by w. S. Burriss and they
did not give up, but kept on working
in the mine, although they were in
constant danger, for the mine was
burning and another explosion was
feared at any minute.
Saturday two experts arrived that
had been sent by Mr. Rend, the mine
owner, from Pennsylvania. The men
we're experienced in entering danger
Gus mines and taking out the bodies
of explosion and gas victims. These
men went into the mine with a heavy
metal cap on their heads and suit
similar to those used by deep sea div
ers. On their backs they carried small
air tanks which supplied them with
air while they were in the mine. With
this apparatus they were able to &C

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
Inn IS BURNED
Loss Will Be $3.50, O,OOO.-0ther
Buildings Burned to the
Ground.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. II. -
Historic Lookout Inn and four summer
residences and store. all on Lookout
Mountain, were completely destroyed
by fire this afternoon, and tonight the
flames are spreading in different di-
rections on the east side of the noun
tain and threaten large loss of prop
erty. The entire loss on the mountaip
is said to be in the neighborho1A
$3.50, 900. The Inn was built at a
of $3.50, 000 and it, with all of

Had the fire been three hours
the Inn wonld have been sold to 4!

The building was owned by loca
men and officials of the Moerlin Brew

clock. At that hour it was being de-

Tonight the scene on Lookout Noun

The flames had spread in every direct
ion, and with the burning of the brush
and heavy wind, the cries of the firt
! fighters and the rumble of improviset
fighting apparatus, the former battle
field might easily have been taken fo
panorama of the past.
Lookout Inn was one of the most no

entire country. For the past twent,
years it has been the Mecca of ever,
tourist that came south, and som
very distinguished foreigners hav
stopped there during the past two de

KELSEY HITS FLEMING.
Insurance Head Replies to Investga-
tors Report.


tors Report.
Albany, N. Y, Feb. 25.-Otto Kel-
sey's reply to the report of Matthew
G. Fleming and the message of Gov
ernor Hughes, asking for his removal
from the office of state superintendent
of insurance, was sent to the state SEN
ate, ordered printed and laid upon the
table The resolution of the senate
will take Kelsey's answer from the ta-
BILE tomorrow, when a vote will be
reached on the governors message.
Kelsey in his reply to the senate an
swering the charges of Mr.. Fleming,
suggests that Fleming doesn't know Il
great deal about law and much less
about insurance law than about the
general statutes. He says that Flem-
ing instead of attempting to get at
facts built up a case for himself or for
the governor upon the reckless, ire
sponsible and speculative headlines OF
a newspaper"
Kelsey says that the charges on
which the governor seeks to remove
him We're made by a newspaper, but
that the proprietor, the editor and no
other responsible person connected
with the publication signed the COM
plant. He expresses surprise that a
man calling himself lawyer should
attempt to investigate charges for
which no person made himself respon-
sible, and then he accuses Fleming of
ignorance even in respect of the anony-
nous charges

For a New county Fiscal Year.

County Collector Mclean has sug-
gestion in regard to the changing of
the time of the beginning of the fiscal
year which is worthy of consideration.
Rather than make clear Jump from
May to January he suggests that if it
is possible, the change might be made
over three years, making three fiscal
years Of fourteen months each, slipping
in an extra two months each year. BY
this process, with economical manage
ment, he figures that the board could
do away with the necessity of borrow
ing money in anticipation of taxes, as
the discounts should grow less each
year, and when January first is reached
the taxes should be on hand and the
county receive interest for its deposit
ed funds, rather than pay interest on
borrowed money.
