 In the Hands of the Divine Potter. Jeremiah 1876. Rev John F. Fry. pastor.
 Jeremiah. known as the weeping prophet because Of the desire ne eA- presses that his eyes were fountains of tears that he might pour ont his lamentation over the condition ot Is- rael. was well educated being of pTiestly parents. By nature he shrank from such a mission as God gave him, but being convinced that il was the Divine will that he should cry out against the corruption that was hurry ing tAe nation to destruction. he pe. severed though it meant persecution and bitterness, though it meant en- durance of the charge that he. who loved his nation with his life, was dis loyal, and a traitor 10 aer His un- derstanding of times was correct. and, as he pTophesied. the people were taken captive because of their sins.
 Among his messages is this which e me to him as he visited the potter house. He lad watched the potter al wCrk, He had seen the shapeless mass Of soft clay placed m the wheel. ana
 
 made into a vessel according to pat tern in the mind Of the potter. He had watched the potter take tae ves- sel. examine it, find it marred by some flaw, set it aside as not fit in that condition for it's mission. He had seen the potter take the same mar red mass, rskBead il, again place It on the wheel and make it into 6 yes sel worthy of service. And as he watched it all, there came to him the realization that God is the potter, man the clay, and what the potter could do with the clay Cod could do with man And with that message he went out to comfort. to warn, and to encourage his people, both the individual and the nation.
 There was the comforting message, shedding light as it did on the ex- periences of life. The whiriing Of the wheel. the pressure of finger here and there was necessary to conform the clay to the design the potter had in mind So, too, the pressures of fe. the trials, and hardships are necessary that God may conform our lives to the pattern He has for us We may resist, using our freedom of will so as to hinder the process, but througa it all God has a good purpose. He seeks not to destroy, but to en- large, to fit for the fulfilling of our mission. Patiently. trustfully then. We should accept the experiences, re- fusing to grow bitter, believing the best, striving to conform our lives to His pattern.
 The warming. too. was there. He had seen the vessel marred. Some slight flaw, so slight, perhaps, that the unskilled worker would have overlooked it, made the vessel unfit for the use intended Outwardly it =eemed to meet the conditions, but 5here was the weakness that made it Iseless. so far as the intended mis ion was concerned. So. too, does sib mar life today. Secretly it works leaving the weakness wlich conceals it's nature. Friends, even, see not what has taken place. Outwardly the life seems fitted for it's mission. But n the eve of the Maker it's flaws arc seen, and it's unfitness realized. Mar nay trust. but God cannott commit Ills work to such vessels. Often
Bisbee daily review., 1909-01-21

there comes the testing that reveals tho flaw. and tue life falls, bringing disgrace and ruin to family and friends. With all the pleasure to be found in sin the cost is too great. The self hurt is such as to make even the careless consider the outcome of it all.
 The encouragement. too, was there. And. doubtless, it was this taat ap- pealed strongest to the prophet He had seen the maTred vessel remade into one that was serviceable. It was not east of altogether as worthless. Israel because of her sins could not do the work she once might have done. Sin had cut short her possibilities. But God still had a mission fos her. If she would turn from her evil ways God would not destroy her but use her. So it is with our lives. Flaws there are in all. Sin has cut short the possibilities for us. If we will only turn toward Him, let Him rule our lives. He will yet make us into something useful.

 Something is the matter Some pain or weakness or deformity in most all our neighbors.

Backache and stomacn trouble, corns and appendicitis, head. heart, liver. lungs, feet, face, forms Some where there is a flaw, a deformity, a weakness, a degeneracy. Somewhere in this old body their is generally q real or imaginary shortcoming, a re hinder of laws broken. and if you will listen patiently and respectfully ycu will hear about it.
 Four-ffths of the complainings are of the physical. Not much said about the lame intellects and deformed heads, and squeezed in concepts of things. Not many anxious 10 con- verse on that line, but nevertheless We are apt to stumble over lameness there too. The lameness of the soul, of the heart, the spiritual, the i'm mortal. This is much more serious, and we may hear some confessions and some sad stories, but not half. No confessional can claim to be famil- ar with all the dregs in human souls The heart has carried it's bitter bur den and so often held its cup alone and murmured its vail of prayer to the unanswering skies. II has so many scars and marks and crevices, and it tries so hard to hide them that We do not wonder that folks despair Of understanding. But, friends and followers Of the Nazarene. the world Is in need, limp, lame. discouraged, hidden hearted. Who will hold? Who is strong enough to bear the burdens of the weak. who has the ointment of the Great Physician? Who has the bread of eternal life? Who can eS- tend hand that is strong and warm ? Who with confidence and tenderness. can say Tn the name of Jesus Christ arise and walk" Who but the Christ man. and the Christ woman?

Should the legislature pass a rail. road commission law. it should be one which will provide for the election of the commissioners by the people of Arizona Cochise county in the past has had unpleasant experience with commissions dominated by the governor. In one instance a member of the territorial board of equaiiza- tion was removed because he refused to agree to raise the assessed value 1900 per cent on every mining claim in Cochise county, many of which are not now and were not then worth 1506 cents.

GOVERNOR kIBBEY'S MESSAGE.

The message of Governor Kibbey sent to the legislatarc- yesterday was full of valuable information concern ing the various departments of our territorial government, which. as a whole. shows that our government is moving forward with credit to the ex- ecutive and to the people who main tain it.
 The first refers to statehood and suggests that the legislature give pub Hc expression of the desire of our peo pie to have the right of self govern ment, but makes no reference to his recent plan wherein re suggested that the constitution of the new state should be submitted to the president or congress for approval as Q means of quieting any fears In rne east concern ing our eapability fer self govern rnent. The proposition is something entirely new in the history of state hood making and a suggestion of such a plan from Arizona cannot help raising the very suspicion and oppo- sition which no doibt the governor would hope to avoid
 The message contains some excel Lent recommendations. among them being the amendment of the incorpor- ation laws of the territory and to this recommendation the majority of the legislature stand pledged by a plank in the territorial democratic platform of last year. If we gre to continue to invite all the wildcat companies in the country to come here and form companies without any other require .ment than a set of incorporation
Bisbee daily review., 1909-01-21

blanks then let us have a franchise tax which will be graduated in amount in accordance with the amount of the recited capital stock of the company.
 Especially do We commend that part of the message which asks for further legislation against gambling in the territory. The law which re- pealed the law authorizing the heens- ing of gambling did not reach or ef- feet what iso known as "short card" games. such as poker. slua. pansinsue, etc. The governor recommends that the territorial law be made stringent in prohibiting these games in any sa- loon or in any building where intox-' icating liquors are sold, Regarding the saloons the governor urges that a law be passed requiring that all sa- looms shall close on Sunday and in this recommendation he has no doub, expressed what a great majority of people in the territory would gladly approve.
 The saloon business is being totally  abolished in many of the states and in other states efforts are being made for a more stringent regulation of the traffic, and Arizona can well afford to take advanced stels along this line. Such legislation and its strict obey ance will be the means of prolonging the saloon in the territory.

Bisbee daily review., 1909-01-21

The legislature should lose TO time in passing a joint-statehood reso- lution. reciting the qualifications of Arizona for the responsibility of state hood and, by the way, the kind of statehood which will mean self gov ernment for a deserving, intelligent, eacgetic and patriotic people.

Good Points For Guiky Members of
 the Community.
 Have you on your bookshelves the first volume of four volumA edition de luxe numbered Get of The Count of Monte Cristo-tul. levant limited edition, hand sewed. deckled edges. etc?
 If you have. you know you borrowed 1t, and you had better take 1t back.
 Perhaps you don't know from whom you borrowed 1t. Neither does the woman who lent it know to whom she lent 1t, worse luck, and there for years that gaping row in her bookcase has leered at her like n man with n miss ing front tooth.
 Through tears of aggravation she gazes at those three remaining vol umes-useless without the first.
 "Lost!" you say. "Why, the thing can't be lost. Books like that aren't dropped inadvertently upon the street. i People don't sweep them up by mis- take in their dustpans. 1t must be somewhere" Yes, but who's to know where?
 Some day the lost and found col umns of the newspapers will contain a notice like this:
 twill the person who borrowed my second volume of Lambs Essays please return 1t at my expense and re- ! ccive reward? No questions asked" | If this doesn't work there would be ! profitable field for some one who would organize sort of secret service l book detective agency.
 Now, it is beautiful thing to lend i books. It adds to the joy of having | them to share them with other peo- ! pie, but sharing doesn't usually mean l giving.
 It's no crime to borrow n book either. It gives one delightful sense of com radeship with the person from whom you borrow.
 But the point is to return 1t.
 There's moral In all this, by tho way, for the lenders as well as for the offending borrowers. The good lady who mourns her precious first volur,c was little at fault herself.
 In the first place, she was not sure that her name was in the book, so that the guilty person may be as much at sea us herself. If her name had been in the book the matter would have been promptly reduced to one of willful carelessness.
 In the second place, even if books are clearly marked with the name and ! address of their owners. human nature is weak and forgetful. No one should lend book without making n note of 1t on little card or notebook kept for the purpose. Then it's a simple mat ter to gently jog the memory of the crring friend. But. now that we are speaking of 1t. 1t wouldn't do any harm for all the inyeterate and perni- cious book borrowers to just take in- ventory and cast up accounts and then take back some of those borrowed l books
