LAWNS EYE

N OMETIMES we wish Dickens and
Thackeray could be revived. After
~ all, Dickens is the greatest modern
master of ridicule, and Thackeray
OF sarcasm, and 1t would take both to
do justice to Rockefeller. Far be it from
us to cast aspersions on the motive
or work of anyone, rich or poor
who is doing his level best, but
what must be said of the lamentable
absence Of humor which leads good
and great man like John d. Rockefel-
Ter Cscion of the noble house Of De
Rochefeuillet) to say 1.-The best invest
ment any of us can make in this world
is each day to set about doing some
thing, however big or small, that Will
cheer the pathway Of someone else
And then he tells the Sunday school
pupils: Or. Bastard and I are at
tending d little school of our own. We
are taking lessons in golf. And every
day we promise our teachers that we
will he good boys this time and won't
forget. Our teacher warns us contin-
ually to keep an eye on the ball. a
keen, steady eye. And we continually
say we viii, over and over again we
promise to keep an eye on the ball. And
then before we realize our blunder We
have forgotten all about our teacher
and his warning"
This is too bad However, there must
be some consolation for Mr.. Rockefeller
in the thought that he has always man
aged to keep an eye on the oil can,
and in that hypnotic eye there is not
trace Of green.

The prophet Isaiah says concerning the
bride, the Lambs wife: Thou shalt
no more be termed forsaken, neither
shall thy land be any more desoiate.
But thou shalt be called Hepzibah and
thy land Beulah, for the Lord delight
eth in thee, and thy land shall be
married" meaning the redemption of
the body, or immortality of the mortal
body
The body is also called the earth.
80 earth, earth hear the word of the
Lord. And it shall come to pass in
that day / will hear, saith the Lord.
The earth shall hear the corn,
and the wine, and the OIL" (Hosea H.,
21.)
The new heaven and the new earth
which God has promised to create Is
the body OF man redeemed from the
effects of the fall, dwelling in Christ,
as Adam dwelt in paradise, or the
spirit of God which are synonymous
trust this epistle will help to clarity
the vision, For 1.-THE entrance of Gods
words giveth light; it giveth under
standing unto the simple"

THINKS CHURCH SHOULD

LOS ANGELES, July 25.--[Editor

of the mob spirit in questioning the re-

to the mob He says we must not
question or even discuss whether he is
right or not, or, in other words, we
must not think for ourselves, but must
accept what the special privilege lay

ourselves. Now, wish to state that

getting tired of having barbarous dog

DEFINES SYNONYMS
USED IN THE BIBLE

LOS ANGELES, July 24-[Editor Her
add: When the Apostle Paul declares
that "By one mans disobedience sin
entered into the world" it must not be
understood that the inanimate earth is
meant, but the animate, the living
earth, or the body of man, "the sin in
the flesh" and Sin entering into the
world" being synonymous terms.
To illustrate: 1t was promised to
Abraham and his seed that he should
be the heir of the world-viz.: his I'M
mortal body, the inheritance, the full
ness of God, the reward.
Abraham died in that faith, not hav-
ing received the promise. but 1t was
obtained by his seed Christ, as 1T is
written, "heirs of God and joint heirs
with Christ" this being the better
thing" referred to in Hebrews XII, 40.
Again: The body is called the land.
it being the promised land which Pal
estine or the holy land is figure or.

Cleveland sends a terrible story of a
suicide club among factory girls, who
take this means of escaping the daily
grind. Truth to tell, there cannot be
a much greater contrast than that be-
tween the life of a factory girl and
that of a drawing-room belle. If our
American working girls were dull,
stupid, unintelllgent, they would not be
conscious of the inequality. But they
are smart, clever, we'll informed intel
lectually and morally the peers of the
ballroom bellies. No wonder they are
sometimes overwhelmed by the
thought of the unfairness of the fates.

ing to the life here and now, and moi
to get our heaven when we die, you
might interest the mob. For instance,
there is the ever present bread and
butter proposition. which is VERY
important one with the mob Also
the white slave traffic. Then there Is
the exploitation of the worker. Then
the high prices of food. Then the high
rents. Then the tramp question. Then
the sweatshop. Then the injustice OF
our courts, which are kept up EXPRESS
numerous to mention. Now, If the
church would discuss some OF these
things and help us agnostics to apply
the remedy then we will think of our
future existence if there is any such
thing, and I give Bishop Johnson ran
warning that il the church does MOI
soon commence to discuss human ar
fairs the church will go the same az
other barbarous institutions. c. M.

Perhaps after the tariff powwow
has once more proved the inequalities
and unfairness of the present system
the public may consider seriously the
formation Of tariff commission of ex-

as to whether under present condi-

The Races at the Fair.

want to call sspecal i'll at eI|s4 59 5hee
Fair, to he held this fall. If you will
notice the program you will see it has
been considerably increased, and the
purses are larger than heretofore.
Now, these races are for our common
country horses. The purses are not
large enough to attract professional
horses; therefore, any one having good
horse should enter and have the races all
full, thereby making it more interesting.
1t costs little or nothing to enter, and we
do not know what our horses can DO until
tried. We have two free for all" races,
a trot and pace that are open to horses
from anywhere in the parish, or out,
which l hope will attract horses from
our adjoining parishes and prove one OF
the features for this fair.
The Indian and relay races will be run
as last year and the year before. That
is. the Indian race will be run bareback
three times around the track, changing
horses each half in front of the grand
stand. The relay race will be run three
times around the track, with saddles,
changing horses and saddles each half in
front of the grandstand. The premium
in each is nice saddle to the first man,
a bride to the second and a blanket to
the third. The boys all know now what
these races are and should enter early,
as there is chance to win nice saddle
and if you lose you have had some fur
, and the crowd has enjoyed the contest
Now, as to the pulling contest. Horses
or mules belonging to farmers alone viii
be eligible. No logging mules or horses
will be allowed to enter. The contes
will be to hundred foot rope this time
and should prove very interesting. Sc
farmers, shape up your teams and hav
= a try at the prize for the best single an
double pulling contest.

program, will be the same as usua
