SONORA LAND TRACT
Americans Are Surveying
Big Piece of Land Down
In Mexico.

Bisbee, Ariz., March Frank Watts,
manager of the vast interests OF the
Wheeler Land company. of Sonora, was
here last night from Guaymas. Mexico.
This company owns 100000 acres
along the Yaqui river and near Naco-
zari, in the state of Sonora, Mexico, Of
which, Watts states, resurvey is now
being made. Land marks of the last
survey, made 25 years ago, have been
obliterated by time.
Work has been temporarily suspend
ed on the extension of the Southern
Pacific south from Nacozari,' said
Watts. '.Just before leaving Guaymas
for Bisbee Hoticed two German sueam-
ers unloading rails. The rails were of
American make. having been reshipped
from Europe TO Mexico
Watts recently made a trip through
the country so long raided by the Yaqui
indians, but which has been open TO
capital since the treaty was concluded
with them by the Mexican government
over a year ago. Many are avail
ing themselves of the opportunity
to secure holdings in the rich district,
says Watts, but not nearly so large a
proportion of them are Americans as

NECESSITY FOR
ALL TO WORK
Presbyterian Minister Urges
His People to Keep Busy
for Others.

At the First Presbyterian church the
pastor. Rev. c. L. Overstreet. preached
Sunday morning from the text, He
brews, 6:1. Let US go on He spoke
of the apostles desire for the christian
people to grow and reach out in their
christian experience. The great dan
ger was that they would stand still.
laymen's missionary conference. and
what an inspiration and uplift ii was
to Gods people The great fundamen-
tai. principles of the gospel were en-
phasized by these missionaries, he said,
and all were given a broader outlook.
The great trouble with the church
today, Rev. Mr.. Overstreet said is that
the people are too self centered. The
in our own affairs Is because we are
not concerned enough for others moral
and spiritual welfare, he declared.
The First Presbyterian church has
adopted a missionary policy which calls
for SO per member per year to mis-
sions. An every member canvass is
being conducted, which, it is believed,
will bring this church up to a very
high standard in the matter of mis-
siOns. The church has also adopted
the duplex envelope" system, which
provides for regular weekly contribu-
lions to both local maintenance and
missions One of the definite things
the church has set before its members
Is "a missionary from our own church
In charge or mission supported by
our church"
An offering for foreign missions was
taken at the close of the sermon,
amounting to about $3.50. The mem
bers were greatly relieved to be thus
released from the II cent class of last
year to the 80 cent class this year.
Parvin White, who has just returned
from Panama. sang a solo at the
morning service.
Decision day was observed in the
Sabbath school Sunday morning. 1t
was a most impressive service, and
many of the young people made de-
cision Tor Christ when the pastor gave
the invitation. The pastor will conduct
communicates class at the church
each Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock

were all Of unusual merit, being made
by men who know whereof they speak
Particularly fine were the addresses OF
Tuesday morning, which were made be-
fore less than 100 people, he said This
was the speakers only criticism OF the
convention.
The reports of recent visitors TO the
mission fields of the world showed that
the work would bear every investiga-
ton, both of the men and their work.
The character of the native converts
was also a credit to the missionaries in
charge. Tourists in port cities might
critfcise, but these did not really come
in contact with the work, which is done
chiefly in schools and hospitals and
among the people in their homes. There
was also difference between CONNER
cial and phiIanthropic investigation, he
said. The commercial investigator look
ed to what might be got out of ter
ritory; the missionary tried TO see what
he might put in.
The work of the missionary is practi-
cal and commonsensed, he said. 1T is
one thing to preach the love of God as
an abstract principle and quite another
to spell out love in large letters in
the life a Christian man or woman he
declared.
ct is not possible for every man to
go q missionary, but il is possible to
definitely plan our lives with relation TO
the advancement of Gods work. II
we would live great lives we must link
them TO a great cause.
I'VE have not understood the i'm
portance of the masters work. We have
been playing at missions-we are COM
ing at last to understand that the work
calls for the best thought of our biggest
and best men.
I'm our own lives we need to take
time for the best things-we have no
time for the word of God-yet the same
time that is given the daily paper would
take US entirely through the bible
every six months. We must keep
abreast of God, for we must get our
instructions from him. Our lives
should be mapped out to make them
effective"

This is the statement of William . Z.

cities of Texas to ascertain the charges
made for water with a view of fixing a

Mr.. Anderson has already visited a

the same purpose. He said:

SAYS SCIENCE IS

Lecturer States That Jesus
Corrected Faults Through

Through mind alone, Jesus corrected
faults and reformed sinners" THE spir-
itual man is Gods image" There is
no power but of God, which is regular
and which is called law" that Jesus
demonstrated his power over all, and
that Christian Science is a rediscov-

At the lecture which was preceded by
a musical prelude by Mrs Helen Rob

Sweeney. The audience assembled filled
the first floor of the theater.
Awakening the Churches.
Christian Science is awakening the
churches to the preaching of Gods
word
She said in part:
There is a somewhat prevalent no.
ton that Christian Scientists look
upon the ills of the present state of
existence with lofty unconcern and con-
tent themselves with saying:
There is nothing the matter with the
world. God is all and everywhere and
the only reality, hence We need not
trouble ourselves over the flimsy ap-
pearance of that which is not real But
this is a mistaken estimate of our atti-
tude. We are more. than ever keenly
alive to the needs of mankind-the more
so because We believe that through the
understanding of Truth, as revealed in
Christian Science, We have found the di7
vine and all sufficient remedy for ev-
cry i'll that flesh is heir to-
Mrs. Eddy's Discovery.
TT is now something more than 40
years since Mrs. Eddy. then supposed to
be at the door Of death, on account of
serious accident which had befallen --er,
so far grasped the Truth of being that
she was brought back to life and health;
and threw the radiance of Truths heal
ing power adown the coming centuries,
revealing a universal law of cure-au
all sufficient balm for every human i'll.
we believe in Christ Jesus as the
highest earthly representative in all
ages of the Truth the one faultless ex-
ample of the true Life, the every embodi-
ment of infinite.
"A miracle is not a setting aside of
law, not the least infractiOn of Gods
law. which is incapable of being broken.
A miracle is simply marvel or Won
der. and in trying to designate the COM
plete fulfilment of all true and per-
feet and eternal law, the human sense
is overwhelmed with the wonder of 1t
all, and counts the unwonted disclosure
as nothing less than miraculous
1T no longer rests upon Christian
Scientists to prove the nonexistence of
matter. In these latter days of lique-
fled air and purified thought. matter Is
rapidly losing its supposed consistency
as substances and all merely material
knowledge is being relegated TO its
proper place among the superstitions Of
the past"

DR.. HANKS TALKS
On BIBLE MEANINGS
Explains His View Of Ger
tain References to
the Church.

At the II o'clock service Sunday, at
the Calvary Baptist church. Rev X.
7. Hanks. the pastor, preached from
the text. Matt. 1918, Thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my
church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it." In an exegesis
of this text, he maintained that the
foundation of Christ's church is not the
person Peter. but Peters confession
Thou art the Christ the son of the
living Cod If Christ had referred 10
Peter. said DR.. Hanks he would nave
used the accusation of Petras, when y
Petron; instead he used petra. Petras
means a stone without foundations: pc
ira means a stone like Mount Frankiib,
immovable with its foundations In the
depths of the earth. Christ did not
build his church upon a man whom ne
called his adversary" The apostie
tells us that the church is built upon
the prophets and apostles, Christ him
self being the chief cornerstone so
the foundation of the church is not Pc
ter. but the rock of ages, Peter con-
fession of. the divinity OF Christ
Mr.. Hanks discussed the meaning OF
the word church. insisting on the
church. scripturally speaking. being "a
body of baptized believers. banded to-
gether to keep the ordinances as Christ
had committed them, and TO sprea.o
is the ordinary meaning of the WORD.
There is, therefore. no such thing as
''the Baptist church," there are thou
sands of new testament churches, ana

thing he said, not just any body OF
christians, who appropriate. the name:
After discussing the meaning OF

mon with a discussion of the meaning
of And the gates of hell shall not

At the close of the service. one man
took membership with the church, and
the congregation observed the LORDS
supper, and made contribution to the
poor.
At the evening service. Dr. Hanks
preached on Repentance Toward God,
and Faith toward Our Lord Jesus
Christ"
This evening at the residence of Mr..
Howard, 1909 North Kansas, the men
of the church are to have a reunion,
