while Gove's bill contains no guaranty

Senator Cove introduced his meas
ure at the morning session Monday. 1t
provides for a bank commissioner, who
shall serve for six years and he paid

the bill is to strengthen weak banks by
forcing them to come up to the require

make 1t impossible for unsound institu-

commissioner broad powers to take

Heroes Who Made the Panama

Colonel Cocktails tribute to the
French and their work on the Panama
Canal was poetic in it's e%loquence.
Baffled by yellow fever, he considered
that they deserved much credit for
what they had accomplished.
1.-THE real heroes of the canal
work" he continued, "are Drs. Lazear
and Reid, who ~fearlessly faced death
in order to prove their theory con-
corning yellow fever. 1t is not hard
to face death in the open. with ones
comrades, and in the excitement OF
battle; but it requires a very brave
man to lie quietly and willingly in a
close room and watch the approach

and some of the Cuban nurses offered
their lives to prove that yellow fever
germs are carried by mosquitoes.
They were willing to sleep in a close
room, heated to ninety degrees and
over, lying down among infected
clothing brought from the fever hos
pital, and take their chances of re-
covery. More than one life was sacri-

AFTER HONORS
Sunday School Leaders Co to Wash
ington-Eastern Towns Will Send
Big Delegations.

West Virginia is striving for hon.
ors at the international Sunday
School Convention to be held in Wash
ington, May 10 to "a inclusive, at
which the entire world will be repre-
scented. And this state expects to be
well toward the head of the list in
work accomplished and the show of
general efficiency for the state or
ganization. So successful has West
Virginia been in the past year IN
fact, that many states of several
times the size and population will
be excelled. West Virginia ranks in
Sunday school work and If her pres
ent rate is maintained she will doubt
less take a better rank than within
a short time.
One of the ways in which West
Virginia will make known her pres
ence in Washington during the con.
vention will be by her two bands. Two
of the leading adult Bible classes of
the state have set themselves to
furnish the bands. The G. p. Mott
organized adult Bible class of Berk-
eley Springs is going to the conven-
ton practically in a body and will
take a band with them. The Young
Mems Bible class of the First M. e.
Church of Martinsville is also plan
ming to send the larger portion of its
membership and aided by other
Sunday school organizations of that
city will probably take a band with
it. Martinsburg is putting itself 20
the task of sending $50 people TO
Washington for the convention, and
if this number is secured, a special
train will be run, with the rate for
the round trip but $3.50. On account
of the extremely low rate to be given
it is thought hat no difficulty will be
had in getting the necessary number.
While every day of the six cccupl
ed the convention will be distinguish
ed by some particular feature yet the
day which will count for most
throughout the world, wherever, Sun
day schools exist, will be Sunday
May 20. That day has beer set apart
for the Worlds Sunday school day.
"A program of services for Sunday
school and church has been prepared
for that day in which every Sunday
school and church in the world has
been translated into twenty-five
languages and will be used exactly
the same, wherever used at all. The
uniform program has been prepared
for the day for the purpose that it
is thus felt that every Sunday school
may feel that it has a part in the
great convention other than that rep
resented by the delegation from the
district of which it is a part.
1t is not known whether Hunting
ton will have an organized body at
the great meeting. but it is certain
that an lumber of Huntington Sun
day school workers will attend.
Martinsburg and other northern
and eastern cities will have much
larger representations comparatively,
than Huntington and other southern
cities, because of their easy proximity
to the convention site.

HOW TO FIND
HALLEY'S COMET
Piece of Cardboard and Planet Venus
Enable Observer to Get Angle
on the Visitor.

Nearly everyone is interested in
the comet, but only those who are
fortunate enough to own telescopes or
other star-gazing apparatus have
been able Il follow it. There is a
simple method OF locating the celes-
tial visitor, and no telescope is r.
quired either.
1t is like this:
BY taking a piece of cardboard four
inches long and by aligning the upper
right hand corner with the morning
star, Venus. the comet will be seen
off the point of the upper left hand
corner, holding the cardboard about
II inches from the eye.
This method of observation is the
outcome of some experiments con-
Quoted recently at the observatory at
Johns Hopkin and while the comet
is very small, hardly visible to the
naked eye, it was said that it could
be distinctly located. The thick haze
prevailing during the past few nights
has made it impossible to see the
comet even through a glass, but with
clear weather during the time be-
tween now and May 16, the visitor
should be easily observable, and can
be e by the card method.
Up to the present time it has been
hard to tell the comet from the stars
in the armament because of the fact
that the comet vas heading this way
and its tail was NOT visible, but now
it is making a urn and a part OF the
tail may be seen.

When discarding it. they did not re
alize that they were making a bad
matter worse. They held on to the
doctrine of demons that God had
created man so hat he could not die.
and could not be destroyed. and so
they proceeded to interpret matters
along that line. Realizing the Scrip
turalness Of the proposition that only
the sanity were fit for heaven, and re-
jecting the theory of Purgatory. they
logically consigned all except the saint
ly thereafter to eternal torture. Alas.
How inconsistent it is; how strange
that we ever thought Divine Fore
knowledge, Wisdom, Justice, Mercy.
Love and Power should have created
man TO the number of thousands Of
millions. with the foreknowledge and
fore-intention and desire that they
should suffer an eternity of torture.
Parting Of the Ways.
Thus, my dear hearers, you with my
self and others of the intelligent peo-
pie of the world, find ourselves today
In a most trying position. our hearts
have repudiated the doctrine Of eter
nal torture as being un-Christ-like. Ut
worthy even of a devil. We can be
lieve neither in a Purgatory of centu-
ries. nor in eternal torture as a conse
quence or penalty for Adams disobedi
ence In eating of the forbidden fruit.
nor as a penalty upon his children for
not living perfect lives when the,
were born in sin and shapen in iniqui
ty" and prone to sin as the sparks to
fly upward" Our hearts cry out TO:
the living God and the true light upon
his dealings.
Under this awakening intelligence,
thousands of noble men aud women
are leaving Gods Book. and leaving
all of the Churches to go after Theos-
ophy, Christian Science, and especially
after Evolution, with its companion
teaching Of Higher Criticism-that the
Bible is thoroughly unreliable. We are
living now in a time Of great falling
away from the faith; few intelligent
people any longer believe in the Bible.
Our colleges and universities-and. sad
to say. our theological seminaries-are
busy turning out unbelievers-infidels.
Nor are these people wicked or immor-
al in their unbelief; they are as we'll
meaning as ever. but have lost their
way. They reject the Bible because
they believe it to be the Foundation Of
the various Inconsistencies In their
creeds: they are stumbling for lack of
knowledge; they cannot believe that
mans hereafter is one of centuries of
suffering, or of eternal suffering.

Seeking the Old Paths.

The Lord, through the Prophet Jere-
miah. tells his people to Inquire for
the old paths,'' and this is the appre-
pirate lesson for each of us. We do,
indeed, need to discard the creeds Of
the past, not because they contain
nothing Of truth, but because error
commingles in them to such a degree
as to make them perversions Of truth
as a whole. We need to take off the
creedal spectacles with which we bave
hitherto been studying Gods Word,
and come TO the Bible afresh, to hear
its message. Thus coming, many of
us have been surprised as we have
found its purity and consistency and
harmony with itself. We have already
intimated the Bible view Of mans
death sentence. and the Bible presen-
tation that Christ died for our redemp-
ton, and the Bible assurance that as
a consequence, in due time" ''the
knowledge CT the glory Of God shall
fill the whole earth" We have also
the Bible assurance that not merely
the living will profit by the provision
of Gods grace. but that 'all that are
In their graves shall come forth to
share in and TO be blessed by the IA
vorable conditions which God will by
and by inaugurate.
The Bible declares that the penalty
for sin is being experienced by hu-
mainly at the present time-the death
penalty-and that the redemption price
of Chrlst's death is sufficient for the
sins OF the whole world. 1t declares
that on account of this redemption.
ultimately the resurrection Of the dead
shall take place-'all that are in their
graves shall hear the voice Of the Son
Of Man and come forth" 1t is be-
cause Of the Divine intention that
there shall be a resurrection Of the
dead that the Bible everywhere, both
in the Old and New Testaments, speaks
Of those who have died, both good and
bad, as being asleep" and the prom

Mankind instinctively look for and

We are glad hat our Creator has
