In reading the debate between Mr..

bring our Savior in and His teachings,
which ought not to be. Mr.. Brannan
misrepresents our Lord. He says,
'Seek first the kingdom" That has
nothing to do with this. The king
dom is not of this world. 1t cannot be
applied to this world. If Mr.. B. will
tell what church he stands with l will
know how to answer him better. l
know he does not belong to the church
of Christ. I will now ask Mr.. B. to
tell us what kind of kingdom God
asks the people to have. 1t is not like
Mr.. B-ism. No, verify, on the con-
trary, altogether different. Here is
work for you, NIB. If you stay with

In Memory of Samuel J. Brown.

On the 10th day of April, 1911, the
PORTALS of Heaven were opened and the
Welding spirit of one of our dear
friends was waited away to the realms
of bliss, there to abide and await the
gathering together of the redeemed OF
earth. This was the spirit of Samuel
7. Brown. He was born jury ~, 1895,
and died April 10, 1911 It grieves us
to chronicle such sad events, but let
us not grieve as those who have no
hone. Weep not, sorrowing friends,
Sam is not dead. He sleeps that quiet
and peaceful sleep that knows no dis
turbance, while the familiar form lies
Wondering in the grave. The reason
we speak so confidently of his bllsstul
rest is because Sam told the writer a
few weeks before his death that he
was ready and willing to die but he
hated to leave his family and friends
behind. Sam was liked by everybody,
and | don't think be had an enemy In
this world. He was ever ready to help
his neighbors, especially the poor.
Now, sorrowing friends, let us take
courage from those sad events, ana
weld our own bodies living sacrlhce
unto the living God, and live a life
that will fully qualify us to rejoice
and be happv, even in the jaws of
death. Sam was dear friend OF the
writer He died at his home near
Bryant's Chapel. Funeral services
we're conducted by Rev. w. S. Bran
ham, of Bridgeport. Ala. The remains
were laid to rest at Bryant Cemetery
"a precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
| A Mace is vacant in our home,
Which ever can be filled.

 Mexican Herald: A series of lectures for the uplift of the Mex cala, San Pedro Itzican, San Mi guel, San Jacinto, San Jose, Santa Cruz de Cuitzeo, Los Guajes and Estancia de Cuitzeo, in the state of Jalisco will be delivered by Juan Castellanos de Po2citlan. Notices have already been sent out to the Indians urging them to attend the lectures.
 Mexican Herald: Inviting the leather and shoe men of Mexico to attend the National Shoe and Leather Week" exposition and fair, to be held in Boston during the coming July, the New England Shoe and Leather Association has written to United States Consul general Arnold Shanklin, asking his cooperation in spreading the invitation to interested persons in Mexico.
 Guadalajara Times: Since the opening of the Brownsville Mata- moros railroad bridge for traffic business between Brownsville and Mexico has increased very great ly, perhaps 25 per cent, with prospects of even greater gains dur ing the year. Heretofore the in- convenience of ferrying goods across the river was an obstacle to the advancement of this trade rela- tion which in the future will be an important factor with Brownsville and the entire lower Rio Grande Valley. At present the business from MatamorOs done at Browns vile IS cOnservatively estimated to be in the neighborhood of one and a half million dollars year, which judging from the increased trade since the opening at the bridge should be nearly double that amount January 1, 1912.
 Mexican Herald: Owing to the large amount of work which is be. ing handled at the American em- bassy at the present time two extra secretaries have been added to the force, George T. Weitzel, who was spoken of as a probable member of the staff, but, who was instead transferred to the Pan American Union in Washington, arrived in the city yesterday and immediately entered upon his duties as one of the secretaries of the embassy. w. J. Kavanagh, an expert stenographer, and a Spanish scholar, arrived with Mir. Weitzel and will lend his aid to the ambassador, who asked the de- partment of state recently, for more assistants.
 Guadalajara Times: American men and capital are making creditable showing in San Luis Potosi. Americans in that city and state have not taken much to speculation and promoting, but rather to merchandising, develop ing, manufacturing and importing. For this reason they have not ad. vertised their enterprises to the outside world nor called exten-

Most of the Americans of San Lnis have been long in Mexico and know it's resources and advantages, but they do not, as a rule, take to wildcat schemes. Business profits are their aim rather than speculative gains. American capital invested in that state amounts to somewhere be- tween $30,000,000 and $40,O00,OO0, gold.
 Mexican Herald: An attempt to organize a Maderist movement in this city, to liberate the politi- cal prisoners in Belem, and to capture the arms and supplies in the capital has been nipped in the bud by the clever work of the secret police of the capital under the direction of Francisco Chavez, their chief and working in unison with Chief of Police Gen. Felix Diaz. About fifty arrests have been made and it is said that others are to followed. The names of the lead CTS in the movement are still kept secret by the police but one of them Is declared to be Manuel Cruzado. who was the leader in the recent jail delivery in the city of Vera cruz. Cruzado was captured in this city by the secret police and was sent last night to Veracruz under strong guard, where he will answer charges which have been made against him in the port city.
 Ell Paso Times: Founder, the famous race track dog, beloved by all turf followers at Juarez, is dead because of his unfortunate scrappy disposition. Rounder was pres ented with a grand stand season ticket, lived in El Paso, rode on the cars to the track free of charge, and never missed a race during the meeting until the time of his bad break. Rounder got gay in the betting ring about a month ago and bit man, with a winning ticket, on the ankle. For this overt act he was ruled off the course, but the board of stewards reinstated him. A few days sub- sequent to his reinstatement he made a light lunch off the pink piernas of a little unsuspecting miss of eight tender years, who aroused his grouch to the biting point. The stewards of course then permanently ruled him off the turf and decreed that he should die. He was shot by order of the racing court.
