GOSPEL OF CONFINEMENT
 BY REV. FRANKLIN BRAY
The Subject of the Sermon at Tanner
 Chapel Last Sunday.

Rev. H. Franklin Bray of Tanner Chapel, A. NJ. E. church, in his ser mon Sunday morning said in part. speaking from Hebrew xiii:5:
 The American people are never without the spirit of unrest, but this is particularly a time of unrest The majority of those who are able have either gone or are arranging to go to some cooler place for the summer months. To my faithful members the majority of whom are unable to enjoy the comforts of the many sum- mer resorts, I feel 1t my duty this morning to drop a word of comfort. Each outgoing train is bearing the more favored ones to Prescott, Iron Springs, California, Atlantic City, May, Colorado Springs and Manitou. Before Iron Springs, ManitOu. Los Angeles or Colorado Springs were on the map, long before vacations were heard of, our fathers had a better time than we have today. My fellow ministers are leaving for the vari- ous summer resorts, and while lack of means prevents my going, I defy any of the more favored to get more real pleasure and contentment at their far-away cooling springs than 1 shall get right here under the direct rays of old "SOr, a poor minister sharing the heat and its attendant

\ FORTNIGHT AWAY FROM
 LAND OF LORDS AND FOGS
F. p. PARKER DIRECT FROM
 WORCESTERSHIRE, ENG.
Came Upon the Recommendation of chas. Lesueur, Who is Missionary

r. P. Parker arrived in Mesa yes terday morning direct from Paxton. Lancastershire. Eng. upon a recOm- mendatiOn from Charles LesueUr who is n missionary at that place, that the Salt River Valley is the grandest place in the world.
 MT. Parker spent two weeks, or as he expressed it, "fortnit," on the read. His ticket from Liverpool to Phoenix cost him s97.2O. only he ek- pressed it in pounds. pence and shill- ings. and friend was kind enough tn figure it up in dollars and cents Mir. Parker is not ver:- talkative, but he appears to be glad that he has arrived. His father was contractor and build CT. Carpenters get $1.50 per day in England when they are extra sprtun- ate. A young man could not save up a hundred dollars in six years, at ;ord- ing to Mir. Parker. and he would not have been able to come to America, had his father not saved up the money before his death. The land in I.an- castershire is over One-half owned hy Lord Derby there being very littie free ECld land in the province at all. The land is leased from generation to gen. eratjon The farms as a rule are for but few acres, and garden and truck farms are measured as business lots are measured in a city. The young n.an claims to have noticed a great deal of difference between the foSs of London and the sunshine of the Salt River valley. Yesterday during the rriddle of the day he was dressed in fcavy black suit, with a tight fiIring vest buttoned around him. He com plained some of the heat. He has the usual Englishman's troubles and while talking he dropped eight or nine ms" that rolled down crack in the side walk and could not be recovere |.

discomforts with poor and yet de- voted constituency.
 The grandest luxury Goo ever gave a man is health. Don't barter it off Think how much better off, and therefore how much wealthier you are than the millionaire who revels in his millions and is yet unable to re- lieve himself of awful suffering through the purchase of a new stom- ach or on his bald head to place hair. Rejoice that in the awful sweep of the corporation this most valuable asset has not been included. It is yours from the hand of just God. Therefore be content.
 l desire to impress upon you the fact that true happiness is not de- pendent upon outward circumstances. It is not infrequently the case that the homes which are the farthest from luxury are the very happiest homes. Nor do we have to leave our own beautiful city to find many costly homes where everything be- speaks the fact that plenty abounds there, and yet. discover that that home is a most unhappy one. The Phllipian jail rang with the songs of praises from the lips of Paul and Silas John Bunyan wrote the Inn mortal Pilgrims Progress" from Bedford prison. John on the Island of Patmos talked with the angels.
 Earthly conditions are transitOry We struggle to build houses, secure land but in the midst of our ac- cumulations we pass away and leave it for others to have and to hold Unequal conditions in earth are made equal in the grave. Incident upon this life are pain and suffering and disappointment, but these things never knock at the door of the grave. A coffin made out of pine boards is just as good a resting place as one made out of silver mounted mahog any or rosewood. Walk in the silent city of the dead and you will find that they are all alike there, un- conscious.
 We should find cOntentment in the fact that our father knows what is best for us. In childhood we were thus content under the immediate care of our earthly father. God is the best Of fathers Some times we thing He is hard on us, but He knows just what is best. We do not understand the school through which He brings us now, but we will after while
 Being faithful We shall be in the number which John saw who Game up through great tribulations, had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the lamb"
