We read In the Bible that Da-
Vid was one of the prophets,
does the Bible show that David
went TO Heaven when he diedl
Answer.-David was the second
King of Isreal, one of the holy pro-
phets and is spoken of in the scrip
lures as "a man after Gods own
heart" He died nearly one thou
sand years before the crucihxion of
our Lord. If David could go to
heaven at his death and before the
coming of our Lord then there could
seem to be no reason for the death
and resurrection of Jesus. On the
contrary, the Scriptures show that
there was no opportunity for any to
enter the kingdom of heaven until
the death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ (II Timothy /, 1O). The
Apostle says, that Jesus was the
first to be raised from the dead II
Corinthians XIV, 2O). Nearly
thousand years after David's death
Jesus said mo man hath ascended
up to heaven" John iii, l3) Sure
ly David was not there then.
Speaking directly concerning David
the Apostle Peter says: Men and
Brethren, let me freely speak unto
you of of the patriarch David, that
he is both dead and buried, and his
sepulcher is with us today" For
David is not assembled into the hea-
vens" Acts ii, 29-34). 1t will be
noted that the Apostle made this
statement even after the resurrec-
tion and ascension of Jesus into
heaven. Years afterwards the
apostle Paul mentioned David with
others Hebrews XII, 32-4O) saying
And these all having obtained a
good report through faith received
not the promise; God having pro-
vided some better thing for us lthe
church, that they without us should

DELEGATE TO CONSTITU-
TIONAL CONVENTION

Probably the real warm contest will
come after the primary election in the
petitioning of delegates to the constl-
tutional convention. Mercer County
will have one delegate to the constitu-
tiOnal convention which meets in CO.
lumbus tho first Monday in January,
1912, and the compensation of the same
will be tho same as that Of state repre-
sentatives.
Tho delegate is to be selected, not at
the primary election, but at the general
election in November, and not as par
tisans. Each candidate for delegate
will be required to have at least 300
signatures of qualified electors. Each
candidate must have on his blank pc
tition two clauses of much significance
which he can sign or not, as his con-
science, judgment or sense of eXped-
iency dictates.
One clause will state, substantially,
that if elected q delegate he will favor,
before final action is taken, referring
to the people for their approval or dis
approval the question of granting
liquor licenses in tho State of Ohio.
The other clause will aver that he
does not favor popular reference to the
question-in other words, that the
brewers, distillers and saloon keepers
know what the people need more than
tho people themselves do, and the lat
ter should deny themselves the privil-
cge of voting one way or the other.

How large was NOah's ark
and how did IL compare with
modern vessels as to size and
caPacItyI
Answer.-The Bible Genesis vi,
10y gives the Dimensions as follows:
Three hundred cubits long, fifty
cubits broad and thirty cubits high.
The length OF the cubit is various
ly estimated. The modern cubit is
Is inches, lineal measure; the sa-
cred cubit of the Jews was 2I.ss in
ches. According to the latter the
ark was 547.3 feet long, 9l.2 feet
wide and "a feet high. The capac-
ity, 2,730. 782 cubic feet. Tonnage,
Sl,052. 1t is impossible, however,
to do more than merely to estimate
the dimensions as no one can be
absolutely sure as to the length of
the cubit according to which the ark
was constructed. There are some
modern vessels of greater length
than the ark, but the capacity of the
ark was three times as great as any
vessel afloat. 1t provided plenty of
room for Noah and his family and
pairs of 244 species of animals, tax
en- in, as scheduled by Button, to-
gether with all supplies needed for
the long voyage. The design has
been found in actual practice to
yield the best results for safety and
stowage.

REILLY GETS A
new JURY PANEL

Langdon, N. D., July s.-Dr. ]. J.
Reilly charged with murder in the
second degree. was successful in main
taining in the district court his chal-
lenge against service by the jury
panel that had been subpoenaed.
The challenge to the jury panel was
made following the failure of the de-
PENDANT to gain the setting aside OF
the information sustaining the demur-
rer. that he also made. Arguments
We're made and concluded with Judge
Burr's order sustaining the challenge
and ordering the panel discharged
Immediately an order was entered
recurring the sheriff TO summon new
jury, but once more objection was
made on the plea that the sheriff is a
relative to the states complaining
witness. Thereupon the court ordered
Deputy Sheriff Stevenson to summon
new jury Immediately, and the work
of selecting the Jurors who will try
the case was commenced at once.
The formal plea of the defendant of
not guilty, has been entered, but 1t is
expected that there will be some little
time before the actual trial is COM
menced as there will be strong fight
over the selection of jurors.

SCHEME TO HELP
| The new Corners

Aberdeen, S. d., July 8-A move
ment is on foot in Edmunds county
to lend helping hand to newcomers
among the farmers of that county.
by giving them work on the roads of
the county. Edmunds county has a
substantial balance In the treasury,
and 1t has been suggested that the
county commissioners appropriate the
money for the building Of permanent
roadways throughout the county, en-
ploying farmers and their teams for
the work. The promoters OF the plan
have asked residents Of the towns of
the county and the surrounding neigh
borhoods to send delegations to Ips-
witch when the county commissioners
assemble next week, for the purpose Of
urging the commissioners to take ac-
ton along the lines suggested, and 1t
Is believed IL the pressure is at all
strong the commissioners wild acquiesce
In the plan. Farmers who have re-
sided in the county for a period Of
several years have prospered and do
not need the assistance the road build
ing movement would give. but there
are many newcomers woh have
been dependent upon this years crop
for their livelihood, and to this class
work on the roads Of the county would
prove a godsend and enable them TO
weather the lean year in excellent
shape.
