SOUL SUPREMACY
FIRST ESSENTIAL
Or. Buxton DiScourses on EIe.
mentS That Enter Into Life
and Hereafter.

At the Central Christian church, Sun
the pastor, Rev. Albert Buxton, Phi. D.,
speak on the Supremacy of the Soul .
DR. Buxton took for his text Matt Y,
%: Fear not them which kill the body,
and are not able to kill the soul: but
rather fear him which is able to de-
stroy both soul and body in hell" DR..
Buxton said in part:
THE body and soul are intimately
associated. They are both real. and
both have their sphere of pain and
pleasure. 1t is all bosh to say that man
has no soul: that what we call the soul
is a phenomenon of the body. Cut
away a part of the body-an arm, and
the triumphant soul may be just as
whole. Cut away two arms. and then
both legs, and you may still have an
unmutilated poet, or philosopher with
just as large a soul A small body,
like that of Douglass or Stephens, may
have a gigantic SOUL No, the soul is
not a secretion of the body, but is an
other being. It is just as great folly to
say that we have no body-that it is
a Dhantasy. 1t is real and pain and
pleasure that inhere in the body are
just as real as joy or sorrow of the
SOUL "A SOOu-HdIuIeQ cult may QlSre-
gard pain, but they acknowledge it's
existence when they seek its relief or
choose delicious food in place of the
nauseous.
But necessary as are both body and
soul to our earthly experience, mo man
can serve two masters One or the
other must be first in authority The
battle for the body or the pure life for
the soul must win. The message of
Jesus was the supremacy of the soul
His theology, his philosophy could be
expressed in Few words-in a single
sentence. why are ye anxious for
food and clothing? Seek first the king
dom of God and his Righteousness"
And again, 'Ye must be born from
above After the requirement of barns
and houses and wealth, the voice of
judgment comes in the demand, This
night shall thy soul be demanded.
What shall it profit man if he gain
the whole world and lose his own soul?'
This emphasis of Jesus is the only
true valuation. My body serves me
for forty years-or ii may be eighty,
and goes back to earth's soil; but the
soul lives on fOrever-still young after
a thousand centuries have gone by.

The pleasure or pain of the body are
very limited. There is not possible for
the body much intenser pain or keener
pleasure than most of this audience
have experienced. 1t might last a lit
tie longer-but even the pangs of death
could be no sharper than the racking
pain of headache or toothache. But
the joys and sorrows of the soul have
no limit. In either direction they ex-
pand in unmeasured increase. Soul Joy
increases until only one word may ex-
press its unreasonable felicity-and
that word is heaven Soul pain, soul
remorse is likewise measureless, and no
word may express its unmeasured In
tensity-except the one word, a terrible
reality. hell
1T is a terrible responsibility to have
a soul-to develop for all time ever in
creasing capacities for joy. or to culti-
vate i'm ever increasing degree that re-
morse that may not be measured, and
so everlasting that the Master pictured
it's eternity in the vivid words. Where
their worm dieth not and the fire is not
quenched.'

ELECTION BETS
SOURCE Of SIN
Presbyterian Minister Declares
That There Is Grave Evil in
Making Wagers.
NO GOOD PURPOSE SERVED
BOTH WINNER AND LOSER ARE
SUFFERERS IN END.
NO GOOD PURPOSE SERVED

The Rev. Charles Curtis Mcintyre, pas
tor Of the Westminster Presbyterian
church, last evening delivered a sermon
on the evils Of betting on elections. His
theme was Thou shalt not steal" He
said:
THE custom of betting on the election
and other honest and virtuous events is
assuming almost alarming proportions
with the American people. When it be-
comes such a feature in our own civic
life that the records of gambling on the
welfare Of candidates or their parties oc-
cupy a prominent part in the newspa-
pers thus pOpulariZing the practice, with
its bad moral effect, especially on the
youth of the city, 1t is time for every
pure minded, clean-handed person to pro-
test and to instruct and shape opinion
and ideals on the basis of principle and
honesty and truth.
Ask any man who bet on the issue of
last Tuesday why he did IL and his rea-
son will be untenable. If he did ii to
back his candidate, Just what amount
of support did his betting render? II he
was sincere in his desire. l am sure he
could have counted for more had he con-

tributed his bet to the campaign fund or

needy charitable institutions in our city or
country.
"Or was it just a little friendly bet?
How much honorable, dependable friend

transaction between two people who con-
slider themselves friends? Real friendship

heartily gives or receives free gifts.

Ell or any true gentleman with heat some
thing like the fire in the treasure of Ju-

the vice have the grace left to recognize
their own disgracefulness and conceal
their action from the MONDAY. And the
necessity of concealment proves it to be
sin.
Betting is wrong, both in principle and
prdctlce. IL IS based on taking advantage
Of your neighbours Ignorance or on the
assumption that the bettor knows more
than his partner. 1t fosters the most in
dolent egotism and trusts TO chance rath-
er than to true knowledge And, where
all is absolute uncertainty, betting in
wolves committing yourself to an opinion
when the truth cannot be known. This
Is demoralizing. in the extreme, making

real, no longer with the ability to see

The Grand theatre was packed last
evening upon the first production of
"Bunco in Arizona" and those who came
to see were not disappointed, for they
saw the best melodrama by the beet act
ing company the Grand has housed this
year '.Bunco'' is the nickname given
Alice Heathercott in the play. and
around her life and trials the story of
the piece is written, and the exciting in
cidents come so fast and often that the
heart of the lover of melodrama is made
glad. In the character of "Bunco" Miss
Nae ST. Clair gave a splendid account
of herself and proved a most magnetic
and clever actress. True Broadman, as
Black Hawk. and Eugene Phelps. as
James Heathercott. were capital. but it
is simply an injustice to mention one of
the cast without including all the Others
for the company is one of the best popu-
lar-priced attractions ever seen in the
Grand. The play is well staged and the
scenic effects are good. and the play will
probably be greeted with large audiences
during the balance OF its half-week's stay
at the Grand.
The last half of the week will witness
the return of that ever-popular play, I'm

ADJUSTMENTS.

Just to show that the Orpheum people
can do things up in handsome way
pretty nearly any week il wants TO, the
offering last night at the vaudeville play
house was one that even a blase first

with.
First of all. Jesse L. Lasky is back

quantities. The act is billed as a swag-

act opens with five faultlessly clad young
men seated at five pianos. But it is the
pretty girls that make the hit hit Four

faces assist the gray-clad young men in
making things enjoyable for the audi
ence. One of the girls. a willoWy bit of
house with q so-descriptive song which
might have been entitled She borrowed
my husband and forgot TO bring him

dances followed and. with piano play

and charming faces, the act is one to
linger in ones memory of things pleas

the adult members of the Yuilians, Euro

of clever tumbling to be but harmless

ones at that. while the youngsters of the
troupe do some wonderfully clever work
in balancing, the baby boy of the crowd
obligingly turning himself into rubber
ball at the slightest provocation. The
entire eight of the Seven" Yuilians are
really crack people in their line and make
the closing number one of the best on
the boards.
Though improbable and absurd. the
sketch presented by Mr.. and Mrs. Gene

laughter and made up in action what
il lacked in probability. Mrs Hughes
