Oh well, you say, this does not

does and perhaps it does not. 1t

says that the teacher may read
the bible in school but without

surely better than nothing, it is
better than if it were altogether
forbidden.

Do any of our churches or de-

tiles provide schools or depart
ments where young consecrated
christian men and women may
prepare themselves for teachers
in Sunday schools, or go out and
gather in children and teach
them the knowledge of God and
Jesus Christ? Are we willing to
pay them wages? Let me quote
you what VIM. Jay says about
childhood days and youth. He
says: 1T is the spring of life,
and by this will be determined
the glory of summer, the abund-
ance of autumn, and the provis-
ion of winter. It is the morning
of life, and if the sun of right
eousness does not despel the
moral mist and fogs before noon,
the day generally remains over
spread and gloomy. tits the seed
time and what a man soweth,
that shall he reap. Everything
of Importance is affected by re-
ligion in this period of life"
And we all know that this is so.
Let me therefore plead with you
today for all children that moth
ing, absolutely nothing be left
undone, that can be done for
the giving to them, and bringing
to them this great, glorious and
all condoling knowledge of God,
and He whom He has sent, Jesus
Christ, remembering what He
has said that inasmnch as you
have done it unto one of these
little ones, you have done it unto
me.
If the christian people through
churches and Sunday schools
fails or neglect to teach this
knowledge to the children, how,
when and where under present
conditions will it be taught?
Therefore we have great need
of Sunday school, and they are a
great necessity. Let us all strive
to make the most and the best
of them, and if possible enlarge
their sphere.

the many homes IN every com
munity who are Indifferent to and
make no profession of christian
anity, and still others who hate
the very name. So it is very
evident that there is great need
of Sunday schools, for that is one
branch of church work whereby
we hope and expect to reach the
children and as many of them as
possible, our own as we'll as
others, and it is the only school
teaching the children the knowl-
edge of the only true God, and
He whom He has sent, Jesus
Christ.
And now in view of what has
been said, am going to make
two bold assertions. The first
one is that we need not only Sun
day schools but that we need
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday schools
and ought to have them from
three to six months of the year
where all children of certain age
should be taught what they are
taught in Sunday schools, and 1
base my assertion upon the fol-
lowing facts: That we believe it
necessary to provide for the
teaching of secular knowledge
from six to nine months wear.
from six to twenty-one years of
ages, but for the teaching of
spiritual knowledge we deem it
sufficient to teach it for about
thirty minutes a week, and then
only to part of the total num-
ber of children of the children
in our communities. Friends is
this right; is it consistent; is it
all-sufficient? The second asser-
tion attended to is that we need.
not only more schools of the Sun
day school order, or at least more
time for the study of Sunday
school topics, but that we also
need better Sunday school topics.
Now don't misunderstood me.
| mean no offense, no criticism or
reflection upon the teachers we
now have, whom | say deyoutely,
God bless them one and all!
They together with our minis
ters and missionaries are the
grandest and best people on the
face of the earth, but what l do
mean is this: In teaching secu.
lar knowledge Of all kinds and
all grades, we require those
teachers to be proficient in their
profession; we require them to
take examinations in every
branch that they teach and to
have certain per cent of stand
ing in each. We require them to-
take these examinations before
our authorized agent, the county
superintendent, and make our
state certify these things before
they are allowed to teach. And
in order to educate and equip
those who wish to take up this
profession we provide high|
schools, normal schools and
county Institutes and for their
edifcation and common good we
provide teachers meetings and

IA SUMMER THEATER Is

Moving Pictures and Vaudeville Will

For some it has been known that a summer theater or airdome was as sured for Mesa, but the proposition has been in such position that it was impossible to give it out. However. it is understood that the tract of ground immediately east of the Kean barber shop and east of Growers place has been selected for the site. Messrs. Wilson and Eckles. the managers of the circuit of moving picture shows and vaudeville shows, with theaters at Phoenix and Tucson. are behind the proposition and have already se cured a special rate for a license. the regular rate for theaters being three dollars per night. and the special H. censc twenty-five dollars per quarter.
 The building is to be constructed of corrugated iron. The shows are said to be high-c class vaudeville and nov ing pictures. Popular prices will pre- vail
 Mesa has come to be looked upon as being one of the very best towns of its size on the Denver circuit, and while it is just little out of the way for the larger shows to make the jump over here and then back-track. yet when the main line is completed Mesa ought to have a good show every other night

After a short business ses- sion, literary program was rendered. followed by a most amusing drawing contest. Each guest was required to draw the picture of some animal. within a minute and a half Mrs. A. W Cosner was awarded a handsome cup and saucer for the first prize. and Miss Jessie Adams won the consola- ton. The guests were then invited to the spacious dining room. where sub stantial refreshments were served

THE FAME 0F NEW JERSEY
 COPPER GROUP SPREADING
FIFTEEN MINING MEN HEADED
 IN THIS DIRECTION.
r. C. Fraser Gives an Optimistic Inter
 view of Showings.

The fame of the New Jersey group of copper claims, located a little south | and nearly east of Mesa, is spreading in very encouraging manner and as a result no less than fifteen mining men, headed by w. H. lille and ogden Halstead Bowers, are coming to this section within the next few days. These men represent millions of dollars of money aud have it within their power to develop the mining industry to the east of Mesa to the fullest ex- tent.
 T. c. Fraser, with headquarters at Patagonia, Santa Cruz county, re- turned yesterday from trip to the New Jersey group of claims owned by Bowers and Carney in the Mount Su- perstition country east and south of Mesa. Mir. Fraser is probably the most enthusiastic man over the prospects of the ledge showings of any man that it has been the privilege of the Re- publican representative to meet While Mir Fraser had little information to add to that given in these columns a few days ago. he does believe that the claims are good for a million if worked in a proper manner. He is of the opinion that the lower tunnel. which is to be sunk to the ledge at the water level and which was also men tioned in a previous issue, will not reach the water level.
 Mir. Fraser has been in the copper mining business for the past sixteen years and he was free to confess that he was more than surprised at his visit to the Bowers camp.
 In closing the interview, MT Fraser pulled a chunk of glistening ore from his pocket and remarked: This is from the Glory hole. I knocked that off myself"

COUNCIL STUMBLED OVER
 DOUBLE TRACK FRANCHISE
ARGUMENT PRESENTED THAT IT
 WOULD BE EXCLUSIVE.
Election Was Called for the Twelfth
 of Next Month.

The most important proposition pre- scented for the consideration of the city fathers Tuesday evening was the request for a franchise election by Dr. A 4. Chandler for the purpose of letting the property owners decide whether there is to be a street car line in Mesa or not. There was little discussion as to any particular phase of the question. for it is generally con- sidered that a street car line will not be out of place in Mesa. but the real controversy arose when the fight was made for a double track. It was held and stoutly contested ,that double track was wanted for the purpose of securing an exclusive franchise. the argument being put forth that another company would be denied a franchise for a third track when there were two already on the streets. However, Dr. Chandler won his point and the coun- cil finally decided to call the election. which will mean a double track fran chise or no franchise to be determined by the voters on May 12. The fran chise if granted will give the car line a right of way on Main. Center and Macdonald streets.

continued application. Additional
work Ia algebra, physics and physl-
