are only relative terms, since it is a uni
versal conception OF the human soul as
well as a plain teaching OF the Bible that
there is no such thing as death in the
sense of humiliation.
The scientist tells us that there can be
no life in any realm without antecedent life.
So in the spiritual realm God is the ante
cedent OF life And this is life eternal,
that they might know Thee, the only true
God, and Jesus Christ. Whom Thou hast
sent, or to know God and Jesus Christ is
eternal life. 1t is this capacity Of man to
know God that differentiates him from the
brute creation.
One may rise in the mental life until he
must seek the society of educated, cul-
! tured people for real enjoyment. But
there is In man another felt want not
satisfied with any human associations.
There is implanted in the human heart the
capability of becoming a partaker of the
divine nature. To them that believe He
has given power to become the sons of
God.
Answering to this inherent capacity in
man. God has seen fit to reveal Himself
so that man may come to know Him,
| Whom to know Alright is life eternal.
While "the heavens declare the glory OF
God, and the armament showeth His
handlwork," and man may come to know
something of God in a general way through
nature, yet 1t is true, as the poet says,
But when our eyes behold Thy word,
we read Thy name in fairer lines"
God became like man, that man might
become like God. Divinity was clothed
with humanity, that humanity might be
clothed with divinity. Jesus came to earth
to get acquainted with man. that man,
through his acquaintance with Jesus might
know the Father. III We had known Me,
We should have known My Father also;
and from henceforth we know Him"

GAS BLOW OUT.
Muskogee Undergoes Rather Danger
GUS Experience.

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. 10.-The reg
ulator in the reducing station through
which Muskosee receives its supply
of natural gas, blew out Tuesday
morning and the heavy pressure of
the gas in the big main, which car
ries the entire gas supply of the city,
was thrown into the distributing
pipes. Gas meters were blown out,
furnace doors thrown open, pipes
burst in some instances and flames
leaped from the doors of gas stoves
and from open CRATES caused by the
increased pressure.
Muskogee gets her natural gas
supply through a twelye-inch pipe
forty miles long, and the pressure in
this main is so great that a reducer
is necessary where the pipe enters
the city Several fires of minor i'm
portance resulted where gas meters
were blown out before the gas could
be cut off.

The French capitalists, who socnr-

The consummation of this deal
with the octopus company may mean
a great deal, one way or the other,
to the independent producer and the
oil and gas industry of Oklahoma,
as the Barnsdall interests in this
state were of the largest, the Usage
holdings of the company alone eX-
ceeding 10000 acres. Just what ef-
feet it will have on the price OF crude
oil which has just advanced . cents
on the barrel, and on other phases of
the industry, is a question of com
mon discussion among the producers
and wage earners of the oil circles.
