COLD STORAGE CHURCHES

1t is probably no eXaggeratlon
to say that the average church
is cold storage plant. The re-
frigeratOr is more in evidence
than is a heating plant. The
membership is concealed. The
services are form T b e
preacher is chilly or chilled.
Additions are few and CONVEX
siOns are pretty nearly an un-
known quantity. 7 h church
stands there monument to al
most anything but true religion.
TIE pure, unauthorized Chris
tianity taught by the Goldman
who lived and suffered that man
might inherit eternal life. are
practically a dead letter.
A stranger entering a church
edifice of that nature feels a chill
run down his spinal column the
moment he steps inside the doors.
The preacher delivers himself Of
a literary effort which he calls
sermon, though that is a misnom-
er. A quartet wearies the court
of high heaven with hymns and
anthems that are rendered more
for the artistic effect from mus
ical standpoint than from de-
sire to worship God. At the
close Of the services the stranger
is permitted to pass out without
a greeting; the church members
are so busy exchanging verbal
notes concerning the last card
party or rolling under their
tongues the details of some juicy
scandal that they have no time
to shake his hand and welcome
him to Gods house. And the
stranger leaves the edifice won
dering what churches are built
for anyway.
1t not infrequently transpires
that a stranger coming to a town
brings his letter and deposits 1t
in some church. He is received
into membership and given
greeting more formal than heart
felt, which chills rather than
welcomes. But he feels that he
wants church home and thinks
possibly the trouble lies within
himself. So he offers his SER
vices as Sunday school teacher
or in some other capacity. In
stead of being given the glad
hand and receiving a God bless
you, brother" he is simply per-
mitted to exert himself and re-
ceives no word of encourage
ment. But he perseveres only
to find in time that his services
are not desired, for he often en-
counters ridicule. But he does
not fail to note that the church
is not at all backward about COM
ing round with great prompt
tude to ask him for contributions.
He therefore concludes that all
the church wants is his money.
Finally.he quits in disgust and
then he is accused of trying to
break up the church and starve
out the preacher.
This picture is not overdrawn

GEOGRAPHICAL DIVISION.

The Sun yesterday received num- erOUs expectations of it's editorial fayoring a division of the United States senatorships between the northern and southern sections Of the state.
 Those who spoke on the subject realized that there are substantial reasons why the northern end of the state should have a senator to repre- sent those business interests that GSe more largely found in the north than in the south. The wool growers, the fCrestersl and lumbermen and stock men, not to mention the great mining interests, in the north have special reasons for wanting a man familiar with their affairs present in the senate.
 While the southern part of the state is the most populous, it's inter ests varied, yet all the people ana their affairs can be fairly represented by a single senator.
 The more one thinks or conditions in Arizona the more this proposition of electing northern and southern senators will appeal to him.

ZEAL HOLES IN AIR.
New York Mail.)


 It has been proved to the satsiac' ten of the meteorolOgists that there are really Holes in the air, as the aviators claim. These holes are the centers of air Whiris, comparable with the hole in the water in the center oL wash basin when the water is cir cling around and cscaping at vent at the bottom. The holes in the ar are not destitute of air, but in them the atmosphere is much less dense than it is on either side, and an aero plane which strikes one of them finds much less resistance or buoylng power beneath it, and will tend co drop at once.
 Birds find these holes in the air and often drop percepubly when fhay strike them, but their swiftness nf movement and instinctiye adaDta ion to conditions enable them to get out of them quickly and obtain a hold upon the more substantial surround ing medium.
 People who are contemplating go ing up into the great deep of the aiI in aeroplanes would do well to study inc phenomena of holes before they do SO.

A REASON FOR EVERYTHING.
 1a Toilette Weekly1


 A housekeeper. wishing to change her baker, recently decided to inves- tigate the conditions under which various kinds of bread were made and sold. Beginning with one of the most popular bakeries in town, she found that the loaves of bread were packed in large cases for delivery without being previously wrapped in paper At the houses of customers they were taken from the cases and put into bass by hands which, not overclean to start with. had been used in driving and in other miscel- laneous offices. She spoke with the man who had the contract Of deliver ing the bread in her part of the city and asked him why he did not have it put into bags at the bakery. His reply was: Why, madam, that would never do at all. The bags would get SO dirty that the ladies would refuse to take them"

PRIMARIES FOR PRESIDENTS.
rThe New York WorldO

CThe New York World.)
 Direct political action is a good thing and you cannot have too much of a good thing That is evidently the Idea of Governor Wilson of New Jersey. He would have no candi- dates nominated for president until they had survived the test oi a direct primary, so he said in Jersey City. and he would extend it's application from the highest to the lowest func tonary. The people, he thought, wanted to get rid of the middlemen. They say: We will do the work ourselves; we do not need a man ager"
 The work thus cut out for them would be expressing enough. Instead Oi one presidential election every four years, there would be three big ones and five smaller ones, in order to put in nomination the candidates Of the two great parties and the five smaller ones ard then try them all out. Instead Of one car-platlorm tour of the country, in each political camp there would be many. Voters would be seasoned for the culminat llis SHOCK Ol lue NONEnbeI tltCuoI by a series of preliminary sensations Under the top layer of multiplied presidential elections there would bt direct primaries for 531 presidential electors, wherein 3T17 citizens repre- senting the seven parties would be wilnOwed out of an army of as piTants. There would be direct pri mETies of 64 candidates for the United States senate, direct pri- marics for the choice of 3045 candi dates for congress. These federal primaries would supplement loca ones wherein voters passed prelim mary judgment on the claims Oi candidates for city, county and state offices.
 Intervals of leisure in this pOliti cal scheme, if there were any, could be filled up by recalling these var i0us functi0naries.

FEAR
manklrd's Worst Foe.


 Fear has been rightly designated the chief enemy of the human race. Significant is the observation of Job. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which l was afraid of is come unto me- Jobs experience has been that of many who have invited disaster through fear. The action of fear upon the human mind and body is well known to physicians and others who have studied its modus operandi. Fear will accelerate or retard the ac- tion of organs and secretions; will increase or diminish energy and has caused instantaneous death. Again it may cause mental impairment and prevents one from making a success of ones undertakings. These accom- plishments of fear stamp it as the most vital question of human econ omy, and give rise to the queries, What is its origin? What is its remedy"
 The cause Of fear is primarily a belief that Cod is not omnipotent and omnipresent as the scriptures declare him 10 be. It is belief in the eX- istence of a power besides God; supposed power that is opposed to God and that is ever seeking 10 de stroy his creation. This belief that evil is an entity and possesses power is due to a lack of understanding it's true nature Evil is not a positive force but a negative IL holds the same relation to good as does shadow to sunlight: darkness to light. To recognize this great truth is to lose ones fear of evil One is not afraid of a shadow and knows that nothing could be gained by fighting 1t. The remedy consists in letting iD the sun shine.
 In the Saxon tongue the term God is given as good and since God is all it logically follows that good is all. Ignorance Of this fact causes the shadow called evil, and just as the incoming light dispels the darkness, so the incoming of good extinGlishes evil
 This, then, is the remedy for evil to dwell in the consciousness Of good the alIness of God. That this is the antidote for fear is clearly set forth by the apostle John, who said, There Is no fear in love; but perfect love castetb out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love"
 The question here may arise, How is one to avail ones self Of the all ness of good so as to dispel a con sciousness of evil and its resultant fear?" To this query the scriptures reply. "Acquaint now myself Wltn Him and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee" The first step then is to acquaint ones self with God. to know his allness. This knowledge is followed by a conyic- tion that evil is powerless-only a seeming, temporary absence of good. Armed with this conviction one need no longer fear evil, but is enabled to turn from it, refuse to think or practice it. As a consequent of this line of procedure one begins to aa- initiate evil and it's fears, thns prov ing their unreal nature.

 Remember that if you sign a dem Ccratic petition you admit that you are a Democrat-and moreover the petition you sign says so. And when you go to the direct primary election you will be handed a democratic bal lot and will not be permitted to vote for the nomination of any republican official The direct primary law is so wonderful in its amplifications that no one seems to understand it.

THE NEGLECT
 OF THE LEGISLATURE.

While there is plenty of political excitement. even a mild interest seems not to have been taken yet in the personnel of the first legislature, in all probability tbe most important Arizona will ever have. In some of the counties the candidacy for aspir- ants for the state senate has been announced but candidates for the lower house have hardly been men. toned anywhere.
 The time within which nomination papers will have to be filed is rapid ly passing away and unless early ac, ton is taken, the candidates from some counties, Cochise among them, will have to be hurTiedly chosen at the last moment, without opportunity 1 for malicious selection.
 l The legislative billet is not an at tractive one to the kind of men who should compose the first Iegis. Iature and. for that matter, all future legislatures Generally the right kind of man would make something of a sacrifice in accepting the respon. sibilities Of the office and the s7 per
