Fathers face"
Much and everything needful does
Scripture tell us. Its pages are vocal
with the melody of the rustling Of an
gel wings. In fact, the uplifting and
helpful story is narrated in its en-
t1rety as those spirits energize in
those last stretches Of duration from
the angel of the flaming sword to the
bright one who came to John and I'M
yelled all the glories of the New Jeru-
salem. There is no story, save that of
Him cruc1fed, more satisfying, more
consoling, more invigorating. Why
search elsewhere than In Scripture?
As early as Deuteronomy the world
was warned against trifiing with those
realms so near and yet so far away
Neither let there be found one among
you that seeketh the truth from the
dead. For the Lord abhorreth all such
things. "-Deut. 1912
The attitude the Scriptures urge Is
SO simple, so sublime. That attitude
Is one Of prayer and worship. Such
an attitude takes so much away from
the loneliness Of our pilgrimage. Wait.
and be contrite and humble, and or
angels, when the summons sounds, will
lift us gently from our couch of death
and place Us il the arms of the loving
Father, whose face they always see.

SOUL PROSPERITY.

SOUL PROSPERITY.
By Rev. A. Mac Donald Reach.
II wish above all things that thou
mayest prosper and be in health, even
as thy soul prospereth."-III. John,
1, 2.
Soul welfare demands an honest,
active mind. Ignorance Is not of itself
sinfulness, but 1t Is the fruitful soil in
which many forms of sin flourish.
There may be a kind of knowledge
which is worse than ignorance. "If
the light that is in thee be darkness,
how great is that darkness?" Where
the whole truth Is not eagerly well
coined soul prosperity Is an impossi-
biltty. One-sided knowledge that will
inevitably develop one-sided souls and
one-sided institutions. On the other
hand, intellectual candor, stripped Of
bias and prejudice, would lead to as.
tonishing results. The long INDUCED
dream of church unity. for example.
will be realized when the day of intelI
lectual honesty dawns
Normal and healthy feelings are also
essential to soul health. But it is posi-
sible to turn fiction, the drama, l1fe's
daily experiences and even religion 1t.
self into fields of emotional dissipation.
One Of the functions of the feelings is
to set us thinking. If we habitually
refuse to heed them the normal feel.
ings Of gladness, sympathy and indig.
nation for injustice die out of the soul.
Indignation against evil and enthusi.
asm for Righteousness become alike i'm.
possible.
A strong, resolute will is also neces-
sary to soul-health. Mere wishes or
desire should not be mistaken for pur-
poses. Regulate and control the de.
sires, and the rest is comparatively
easy. The wrong purposes which dom
mate a soul were in the first place
| merely wrong wishes.
Paul wrote, Il can do all things
through Him who strengthened me.
He had discovered the secret Of soul
power. This must be sought, not In
ourselves alone, but in the moral and
spiritual reinforcement arising from
the sense of favor and friendship on
the part Of the Supreme Being-God.
Prosperity of soul demands soul
growth. Growth Is the replacing OF
worn out tissues and new and greater
supplies. Soul force consumed in van.
gushing temptation is replaced by re.
newad and increased force, and this Is
soul growth. All growth proceeds from
rudimentary state to formative, and
from that to maturity, and
from maturity to the culture stage,
This is the goal in every field,
The workman aims to become expert,
and the scholar to become cultured.
The progress Of the soul should no!
stop short of the cultured stage.
In spring the blossom comes and
goes, but leaves a tuft Of green which,
rounding out to the full, becomes the
solid apple. The mellowing process
comes, and acids, which bitterly antag
lightful flavor, while the tough, woody
substance becomes a mass of luscious
crystals.
Thus the principles Of the soul, its
knowledge, its faith, its emotion, Its
purposes, all blend in the prosperous
soul into one mellow and pleasing per.
sonality, of which only is it safe to
pray, "Mayest thou prosper in all
things even as the soul Drospers"

BIG FRUIT FARM SOLD
w. L. La Toilette sells his big
Fruit Farm at Wawawai
to White Brothers

What is believed to be the largest
real estate deal in Whitman county in
many years has been made by Hon.
w. L. LaFollette, of Pullman and
Wawawai. who has sold his fruit farm
at Wawawai to White Brothers and
Crum. of Lewiston. for S95, 900. This
sale includes the hill side land and
pasture land with the fruit farm. $50
acres in all, making the price average
almost 500 per acre. Some of the or
chard land is valued at $500 per acre
and has been paying big dividends on
that sum.
The purcha sers have paid sum
sufficient to secure Mr.. LaFol lette
against loss should the deal not be
contaminated. and have secured an
option for several weeks. A repre-
sentative of the purchasing firm has
gone east to interest eastern capital
lists in the property and hope to secure
large sum of eastern money to invest
in the big orchards. The purchasers
are we'll known fruit buyers and ship
pers who have probably shipped more
fruit from the Inland Empire than any
other firm doing business in it. They
know what the orchard is and what it
will produce and undoubtedly they re-
gard ii as a safe investment at the
price to be paid, or they would not
take it at that.
This is probably the best known as
we'll as one of the largest orchards in
the northwest. Several large fortunes
have been made from this orchard in
past years. the annual shipments hav-
ing reached as high as 100 carloads.
The products of the orchard are peach
es. pears. prunes, plums, apricots,
cherries, nectarines and grapes, and
all of these are of the choicest va
rieties.
The orchard is not nearly all of Mr..
LaFollette's possessions in Whitman
county. He has one of the largest
and best wheat ranches in the county.
After selling S95, 900 worth of land will
still have enough to make county or
two in some of the eastern states.
Practically all of his vast fortune has
been made IN Whitman county and
shows what energy. faith and brain
may accomplish in this fertile section.

The Commercial Club band has re-

The band is valuable asset to the
city and will do much toward advert

AS soon as the weather permits at
least one concert will be given on the
street each week and later on they are
preparing to give sacred concerts on
Sunday afternoon in the park.
