THE STORY.

cd EYOND Jordan will I meet thee
ID and take thee from. earth to
heaven"
Elijah started up and looked about
to see from whence the voice came,
and then as his spiritual perceptions
asserted themselves and he realized
the import of that voice, he sank back
into his seat, and listened eagerly,
every faculty quickened into nervous
expectancy.
Again came the voice, repeating the
message:
Beyond Jordan will I meet thee
and take thee from earth to heaven"
Then all was still and to the
startled prophets a there came no
further word. AS the tenseness of
his faculties relaxed, he bowed his
head and whispered:
1T is the same voice which spoke
to me on Mount Horeb."
beyond Jordan will | meet thee
and take thee from earth to heaven "
softly repeated Elijah, struggling to
grasp the meaning of the words. At
last after all the years of waiting
since God had said that his mission
should end and Elisha should be
prophet in his room the final sum-
mons had come.
He was going to meet his God.
Nearly ten years had passed now
since in encouragement and doubt
and fear he had fed into the wilder
ness and then been led by God to the
mount where God lad spoken with
him. Never for a moment since then
had the consciousness left him of the
immanence Of God and Of the un-
certainty and temporarily of his posi-
ton as prophet in Israel. 1t was as
though he had received notice of the
termination of his mission and was
only waiting for the final transfer of
authority to the one who should be-
come his And SO in such
spirit of expectancy he had waited,
while the faithful Elisha had followed
him whithersoever he went and minis
tered unto him.
That day they had come to Gilgal
and weary with the long journey

A movement has been launched
among the prominent planters of Mis-.
sissippi whose property is adjacent to
the levee lines, to induce congress To
make an appropriation for the purpose
of building shelter mounds. During
the high water periods thousands OF
cattle and other animals are drowned
because OF the inability of owners to
get them to places OF safety when the
levee breaks, and the plan in view is to
have mounds built at stated distances,
tho crests of which will be above the
highwater mark, and where the live
stock and human beings cantake shelter.

George Taylor, a farmer living near

week. For six years he had had re.

gold on the place, but paid no attention
to it until he dreamed it was In tho
same location three nights in success
sion. He was SO impressed by the con-
tinued recurrence Of these visions that
he determined to make an investiga-
ton, and securing a pick and a shovel
he went to work. At q depth of Al feet
his pick struck something hard, and
his heart leaped with joy when he
scraped the dirt off an old fashioned
iron pot Or kettle. The lid of this pot
was tied on with bale wire and seemed
to have been made alright by use of
sealing wax, such as is used in canning
fruit in the country. The money was
all in twenty dollar gold pieces, and in
a good state of preservation. So far
there is no one to claim the money. 1t

SERMON

II n were disposed to doubt
the reality of the translation Of
Enoch concerning whom Scrip
ture saith "that no walked with
God and God took him." we have
In this incident of the transla-
ton of Elijah undisputabIe evil
dence of the supernatural ex-
odus Of the prophet from this
life to the life beyond, for Elisha
was not only an eye witness to
the glorious event, but the so
strong men sent out by the sons
of the prophets at Jericho
searched carefully for three
days and were unable to find the
least trace Of the missing
prophet.
This incident offers clear and
satisfactory evidence of three
wonderful truths taught by Gods
word:
First. That heaven is a real
place, more real and enduring
than the earth upon which man
lives and moves, for a body of
flesh and blood such as Elijah
took with him out Of this life
into the life beyond must oc-
cupy space and must have a
realm In which to continue It's
life and activity.
Second. That this life does
not end all but that beyond the
span Of the human life there is
a gIorIfied existence with God
which Is without end, for over
600 years after Elijah was
caught up into heaven we find
him coming with Moses to the
mount of TRANSPORTATION there
to talk with Jesus the Christ
concerning the supreme sacri-
flee which he was to make for
the sin of the world.
Third. That the resurrection
of the body taught so positively
by Scripture Is to be literal.
There are at least three in
heaven to-day who have their
gIorified bodies, Enech, Elijah
and Jesus. Enoch and Elijah
never tasted death nor passed
through the grave, which vas a
miraculous exception to the nat
uraI processes Of the human life.
But In Jesus we find n who
has gone down into the grave
and has come up out of the
grave, having the body of flesh
and blood transformed and glori-
fled for entrance to the realm of
the blessed of God. And that
1t was the same body which he
had had before death, only
changed, was proven over and =.
over again during those 20 days
In which Jesus walked, and
talked, and ate with his dis
ciples.
Let US hold to these three pre-
cious truths. Let US in faith
rejoice in their most blessed
reality, and let us live as though
we really believed that heaven
Is our home, that we are to live
in Gods presence eternaIIy and
that for that heavenly existence
we are to have the changed and
qlorified bodies of this life.

Tuesday of this week at the home of
Mrs. C. M. Waters. Nearly the en-
tire membership was present, and as
guests were Mrs. +. Phyllis Carleton,

A fine musical program was rem
dered, and a brief business session
followed, after which Mrs. Carleton
favored the ladies with report of the
Womans Club of Spokane. of which
she is president, and which is doing
the most varied and comprehensive
work of any club in the city. A di-
verting game was enjoyed in the way
of test of memory or powers of OBJ
servation, which proved of much inter-
est. Refreshments were served and the
club adjourned to meet early in Sep
tember, with Mrs. Charles White as
president.
