THE PULPIT.
A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
DR.. ROBERT RODGERS.
Theme: Consciousness of God.

Brooklyn, N. Y. = The Rev. DR..
Robert Rogers, rector of the Church
of the Good Shepherd, preached Sun
day on "The Consciousness of God"
The text was from Ephesians APO:
eye Have Not So Learned Christ"
DR.. Rogers said:
The thought with which | am i'm
pressed, and with which l would i'm
press you-is that Christ-the God
man-stands facing the world of men
and women as the greatest and most
important factor in human life. Ey-
erything we do should be done in a
consciousness of His presence; every
thing we do will be judged by Him,
and His Judgment will be visited up
on us and be felt by US. This we
nave learned of Christ, if we have
heard Him and been taught by Him.
When / speak of Christ, l mean to ex-
press the thought that comes into our
hearts and minds when we speak Of
God.
This is the most important mes
sage that can be delivered TO a man
IF he can be assured of its truth
and made to live under it's inspira-
tons. When I open my Bible, its
first words tell the great story, 'In
the beginning God created the heav-
ems and the earth,' and as man has
learned the knowledge of the heav-
n and earth, of the mighty force,
the beauty, the bounty in supplying
all that is needful for the millions of
mankind, the laws, which are so won
derful, man comes more and more to
enter into this knowledge of nature,
he speaks of God with alteration and
reverence. The infinite God of in
finite power, infinite wisdom, infinite
goodness is our only explanation.
The greatest power of the might
est human intellect sinks into insig-
nifcance before the ultimate analysis
Of a drop of water or a grain of sand
when the scientist intimates to us what
is involved in it's creation. l think
we can understand the cry of Brown
ing, 20 World as God made it." All
is beauty or Wordsworth's words in
the Excursion" when the wanderer,
full of spirit of worship, says, The
clouds were touched, and in their ST.
lent faces did He read ~unutterable
lovei" In the same spirit Ruskin
speaks, ut is quite certain it is all
done for US and for our perpetual
pleasure" How near into the pres
ence of the Infinite God these men
have come who have been able to en-
ter into the wonders and beauties of
natures. From Job to David, and

All Rights Shall Be Forfeitable For

Legal Entry on Lands.

Washington, D. C.-Plans to save
waterpower sites from falling into the
hands of a monopoly are outlined in
n annual report of Richard A. Bal
linger, Secretary of the Interior. Mr..
Ballinger has been accused of a desire
to turn these sites over to private
corporations, but his recommends
tiens are for a close Government
supervision. He asks Congress to en-
act laws to this effect:
1. That the title to such lands be
reserved in the Federal Government,
and only an easement granted for the
purpose of developing and transmit
ting electrical power for private and
public use, and for the storage of
waters for power, irrigation and other
uses.
2. That such easement be granted
for a limited period, with a maximum
OF at least thirty years, and the option
OF renewal for stated periods upon
agreed terms.
8. That entry shall be accompanied
by plans and specifications covering
the works sought to be installed. and
covering the maximum horsepower
capable of development at such site:
al a substantial entry fee be
Sks0 TO show good faith, and that a
transfer to the United States of the
necessary water rights to permit of
the estimated power development be
made.
4. That the construction period al
lowed entrymen for the development
OF at least twenty-five per cent. of
such power shall not extend beyond
four years, or such further time as
may be granted by the Secretary of
the Interior upon a proper showing.
b. That a. moderate charge shall
be made on the capital invested, or
upon the gross earnings of the project
for the first ten years of operation,
adjusted at each subsequent ten-year
period, and equitably determined by
appraisement.
8. That all rights and easements
Shall be forfeitable for failure to
make development within the limita-
osed or upon entry into any

(By Associated Press.)

PHILADELPHIA, May 24.-Phil-
adelphia Jack O'Brien, who went six
rounds with Jack johnson last We'd
nesday night, declares that Ketchel
will beat Jack Johnson if the pair
ever hook up.
According to O'Brien, Ketchel is
the hardest hitter in the world today.
He is supremely courageous and will
take any kind of walloping to gat
in some of his death-dealing blows.
Il do not think that Johnson can
take, very severe beating, even
when he is in the best condition.
Even | made him back up with body
blows and as soon as did l realized
that a slugger like Ketchel would be
very apt to beat him."
According to O'Brien, johnson is a
very much overrated man. He can
not hit hard. except when he Is fat
looted declared O'Brien. He is
not quick thinker. and II he gets
hit hard at close range he is likely to
lose his bearing altogether. / think

TEX RICHARD
MAKES STRIKE IN
PIONEER LEASE
Especial to the Bonanza

PIONEER, May 24-The Rickard-
Garberg lease tonight encountered
the ledge it has been prospecting for
and which is believed to be a con-
tinuation of the huge ore body in the
Pioneer lease. The ledge was shot
into by the day shift and was noticed
when the night shift commenced
work. The find was made in the
erosscut sent out from the bottom of
the 165-foot shaft, and at a point
120 feet southwest from the station.
A great excitement was caused
when the strike became known and
many of the residents of Pioneer
visited the mine to see for them
selves. OF the $4,000 shares of the
stock outstanding, not a share can
be secured. This new strike makes
Pioneer second to none in the state
as a gold producer. 1t will not be
many days before Rlckard and Gar
berg are shipping at least 15O tons
to the smelters. There are other
leasers who will be In the ore In a
