DETERMINATIONS.

The differences between denomina.
tions are differences of temperament
very largely. One man expresses his
life in one way and another in another
way. Some souls climb up to God by
broad stairs; others come to him as
a bird flies. 1t does not matter how
we get to him II we love his fellow

Session Re-extended to May IS.

Senator keel's joint resolution to
extend the session from May to 13
was adopted by both houses with
dispatch and without debate. Some
days previously the senate passed
resolution to adjourn on May 8 In
stead of the 18th, the date formerly
set, and the house lost no time in
concurring After that had been
done, both bodies realized that a mis-.
take had been made in their hasty
action of curtailing the working time
of the session while many important
measures deserve attention.

Witness Be airing.

The personal witness to Christ is
more than that of spoken testimony
merely. important as that is. The
essential witness is that of character
The language of the life is more con-
slant and more convincing than that
of the lips A really renewed heart
manifests Itself by putting Christ's
teachings and his spirit into the con-
duct of life. The beauty of holiness
witnesses to Christ as the flowers wit
ness to the life-giving energy of the
sun. Obedience to Christ is much
more than the practice Of what the
world calls morality. 1t goes beyond
the requirements of the Ten Com
mandments 1t is obedience to the
words of Christ. The only safe direc-
ton for the Christian is. Whatsoever
he saith unto you, do it," The sermon
on the mount is not a counsel of per
fecticn; 1t is to be obeyed. Those who
keep Christ's sayings build on the
rock; those who do not keep them
build on the sand.

Night Session In the House.

The members of the house have
their working clothes on now, night
and day. From 1880 to 10 p. III. much
business is despatched, clearing the
way to adjournment At the night
sessions, attention is given mainly
to local bills, which have been n great
obstruction to general legislation.
Some unique resolutions were intro
duced at recent night sitting along
toward 10 O'Clock, when the burden
of care and work was resting heavily
upon the solons. Mr.. Hurst felt that
compensation for night and day ses-
sious ought to be raised TO S12, but
his proposition was ruled out of or
der Mr.. Parker then offered a res
olution instructing the clerk of tho
house to provide for each member at
tending the night sessions three box
es of sardines, also a cot, a straw
mattress and straw pillow, in order
that work might not be retarded by
members having to leave the hall and
seek slumber in their rooms, but the
body had gotten sleepy and the house
adjourned before Mr.. Parker could
get his resolution through.

A BIG APPLE CROP is PROMISED
Farmers in Arkansas Fruit Belt Are
Now Spra yina Their Trees.

Rogers.-The past week has been
busy one with the fruit growers in
Benton county, as the farmers have
been engaged in the work of spraying
their apple orchards. This, the first
spraying after the trees have shed
their blooms, is considered one OF
the most vital and important one OF
the entire work Of the season, as the
spray now serves a destructive blow
to bugs and insects which had Just
emerged from their winter quarters
to feast upon the young apples and
plant their eggs within the fruit. Re.
ports come from every nook and
corner of the county to the effect that
the present prospects for big apple
crop are the best for many years.

AN ARKANSAS LAND GRANT BILL
House Measure Gives State Public
Property for School Purposes.

Property for School Purposes.
Washington, d. Representative
Oldfield of Arkansas has introduced
bill granting TO the state of Ark
ansas for school purposes all of the
unappropTiated public lands within
the state. Mr.. Oldfield, who was a
member of the Sixty-first congress,
introduced a similar bill last session.
His predecessor, former Representa-
tive Brun:idge, previously had intro
duced bills granting certain portions
OF the unappropriated public lands to
the state. The Arkansas Legislature
passed a resolution recently which
called upon the state delegation to
introduce and support such a bill.
While the Arkansas members have no
definite knowledge as TO the exact
area embraced in the unappropriated
public domain, it is known to be eX-
tensive Arkansas wants the public
lands solely for the support of the
common schools.

To REGULATE Hotel Rates.

A double-header measure, intro
duced in the senate by Senator Ton
ey and in the house by Mr. Thweatt,
seeks to regulate hotel rates by pro-
yiding that no hotel in the state may
charge more than double the price
for one person on a single room. In
asmuch as the hotels of Little Rock
are arranging to place cots in their
rooms for the accommodation of an
extra number of guests during the
reunion, the measure has aroused
much interest. The bill in the sen
ate was postponed for two weeks on
the motion of the author, but strong
effort was made to get the house bill
through. Mr. Thweatt thought the
bill good one, in that it would pro-
tect the public against extortion by
the hotels in the future. Mr.. Jones OF
Pulaski declared that the enactment
of such law now would work Il
great hardship on the public during
the reunion, as under such condi-
tons no hotel would room the extra
number of guests now contemplated,
as they would be prohibited from col
Jlecting pay for same Mr.. Neale
characterized the measure as class
legislation pure and simple, and the
bill went over to some future time for
final consideration.

proposed to be applied on the $4,000

for the location OF the school at that
place. The committee on education
recommended that the bill be cut
down to s9QQ,ooo. or $4,000 for each
school.

that corn, to make good crop, must
be planted early, and that what lit

drowned out and will have to be

% y devised and set in mo-
tion," as conditions and needs, from
time to time, have suggested or de-
manded. Perhaps some unnecessary
things have been thrust into the field,
springing from misguided zeal rather
than from need or knowledge. Ma
chinery, without power and wisdom
and persistent effort to run 1t, is worse
than useless.
The most perfect and thorough or
ganization of the forces is of no avail
except the individual recognizes his
personal responsibility and engages
his energies in the prosecution Of the
work, as though everything depended
upon his personal fidelity to God and
the immediate task at hand.
The First Duty.
The office and calling of every en-
bassador of Christ make soul-saving

thing that his calling of God in Christ
Jesus requires of him. To succeed in
that respect he must earnestly strive

prise. The sermon Is not an end In It
self. 1t is only means to what should
be the real end of everything that a
preacher does In his ministerial ca
pacity. Indifferent effort will accom-
plish but little. This Is especially
true In Christian work Where there
Is not enough zeal and earnestness to
bring mans efforts up to the point
OF striving to achieve treasured re-
suit, there will be no such achieve
ment, 1t Is pressing earnestness
that counts. The soul-winner's striv-
ing must be expectant, hopeful and
persistent.
Duty of the laity.
1t is Just as necessary for the lay
member to strive to save souls as 1t
is for the pastor or the evangelist to
do so. If the laity would take hold of
the work with some earnestness as
they expect of their pastors there
would be far greater results achieved
in winning souls for Christ. The pew
depends altogether too much on the
pulpit during the revival campaign.
We do not mean to say that too much
confidence can be placed in the preach
er and his efforts. But experience
and observation teach that many pas
tors do not get the help they need in
their special evangelistic meetings
from the members OF the church. In
many instances the pastor must begin
and carry on his revival efforts with
a mere fraction Of his membership in
attendance at the services. Often
those upon whom he should be able to
count for best support In his meet
ings divide their time between dis
tracing social functions and attend
ance at the revival which the preach
err to striving to realize. How can the

pie with the preacher strive to save

Senate Resents House Resolution.
When the house resolution offered
by Mr.. Little, providing for the ap-
pointment of joint committee to i'll
vestigate the expenditure Of the con.
tlngent fund at the disposal of each
body, reached the senate, some very
pointed remarks were forthcoming.
President Toney promptly ruled the
resolution out of order and declared
that while he Is president Of the SEN
ate no such insult as that shall be
offered by that body to the house.
Senator Keel said he hoped the SEN
ate would not condescend to the low
plane OF offering to TIE house such
an indignity as to want to pry into
the way it used funds at its sole COM
mand. Senator Covington branded
the measure as being only a play OF
cheap politics. Senators Henderson
and Logan condemned the act as un-
warranted, while Senator CarlLee
thought it a proper one. The reso-
luton was returned to the house
without being acted upon and bear
ing the endorsement that 1t was hello
TO be out of order.
