Text: "In the beginning, God"
This book, that is TO be the reve-
lation of Gods mind and purpose to
men, begins by revealing God Him
self. Before the Bible can get to lis
first verb, ii has named its mighty
subject, God-"ln the beginning,
God" II the impulsive man, who
in newborn zeal, starts TO read the
Bible through, goes no further than
the first line, he has got the Bibles
greatest fact-God. 'Gn the begin
ming" -of the Bible-"God." There,
the great headline OF its mighty story,
stands God. In the first sentence of
the first inspired writer, is God. In
the last sentence Of the last inspired
writer, 1000 years later, is God re-
vealed in the Lord Jesus Christ. And,
all the way between the Lawgiver
and the Revelator is God, named in
ceaseless iteration. God is the theme
of inspired Poet, Prophet and Prov
erbial Philosopher. G o is I h
theme of inspired Historian, Evange-
list and Apostle.
Well, why this ceaseleSS iteration?
Because the immensely and immin-
ence of God compel it. God so fills
every space, so fills the eternitieS,
that we cannot avoid Him.
Closer is He than breathing.
And nearer than hands and feet"
Then this ceaSeleSS iteration meets
mans call. He must have God. His
heart and fleSh-his whole complex
nature-crieS out after God. Not for
a god, but, for the God-the Living
God. He must have God close to
him, that he may appear before God.
And TO meet this ineradicable hunger
of the human heart, God fills the
Book with Himself Man is prone
10 forget God. Ii is said that our age
has lost the sense of God. If so, it is
the ages own fault. For God utters
Himself in starry skies, in Holy
Scriptures, in the Incarnate Son. The
universe is the sounding gallery OF
His being and presence.
Prayer: Give US, o God, the
opened sense TO perceive Thee, and
the reverent spirit TO bow before
Thee, and the tenacious thought that
holds Thee in mind-'lest we for
get" JIM. B.

Mobile, Tells How She Gained II.

Mobile, Ala.--"T suffered for seven
years, with womanly trouble" writes
Mrs. Sigurd Hansen in letter from
this city. 81 felt weak and always had
a headache and was always going to
the doctor. At last was operated on,
and felt better, but soon had the
same trouble.
My husband asked me to try Cardui.
I felt better after the first bottle, and
now, have a good appetite and sleep
we'll. I feel fine, and the doctor tells
me 1 am looking better than he ever
saw me-"
If you are sick and miserable, and
suffer from any Of the pains due to
womanly trouble--try Cardui
Cardui is successful because it Is
composed of ingredients that have been
found to act curatively on the woman
ly constitution.
For more than fifty years, it has been
used by women of all ages, with great
success. Try it. Your druggist sells 1t.

PREACHER USED DYNAMITE
Dismissed Chaplain from U. S. Army
Caused Many Explosions.


Junction City, Kan.-Rev. Charles
NJ Brewer, formerly a chaplain in the
United States army, now a pastor of
a Baptist church in Olustee, Okla,
has been accused in a confession by
Private Michael Quirk of implication
in a mysterious series of explosions
which have baffled military author
tiles at Fort Filey for six months.
Mrs. Anna Jordan of Kansas City,
also implicated in Quirk's confession,
was arrested in Kansas City following
a telegram to the police.
Quirk, in his confession, said he
blew up the bridge across the Kay
river, June "a last, and the cavalry
stable June 80, when twenty-five cav
airy horses were burned to death. He
said also that he blew up the water
main which supplies the post with
water.
Quirk declared he committed these
crimes at the instigation of Brewer,
who sought revenge because he had
been courtmartialed and dismissed
from the service for conduct unbecom.

days ago Ordinarily scene of this
character would not attract more than
passing interest, but when il is known
that the son of one of these men had
murdered the daughter of the other one,
the friendship of the Two is remarkable.
These men were Henry Clay Beattie

ry Clay Beattie, jr., and his young wife,
respectively.
Although they had been friends from
boyhood, the strain upon the cord hold
ing them together was enough to sever
the ties, but they are friends yet, because
they are true men, and it is men of this
caliber that make the world better
When one thinks of the little child,
less than year old, the grandson of
these good men, one cannot but realize
that its future is brighter than if the
grandfathers had become enemies as a
result OF the awfulneSs of the crime

ST, Patrick's Day RuIinu,

issued in July, eliminated st. Pat
rick's day from the list of Irish oblig.
atory holy days, on which Catholics
are called upon to hear mass and alb

request of the Irish Catholic hierar-

issued another decree. According to
this the feast of st. Patrick will con-
tinue to be a holy day in Ireland,
without, however, being preceded by
a day of fasting or abstinence.

Down at West Palm Beach the idea
of holding a big fair has gained mo-
mentum, and it would seem that a
splendid show will probably be held
during the present winter season.
The city council will permit the cree
ton of the fair buildings in the city
park, if sufficient funds are raised.
This will likely encourage the pro-
motors of the fair idea, and the pre-
liminary work will proceed with a
greater confidence of success.
