Q.--Is there such place as pursa-
tory, and If so where is it taught in
the Scriptures?
Answer.-The word ''purgatory" is
from the Latin tongue and signifies
primarily a place of publication or
making clean. The thought usually in
vclved in the consideration of the term
is that an intermediate state or condi-
ton exists for those who die and who
al the time of death, while profess
ing Christianity, were not sufficiently
cleansed from their sins to justify an
Immediate entrance into heaven, the
abode of the pure and sanity ones
Hence they. must expiate their sins by
enduring intense suffering in flames
and sorrow for a period of time in
proportion to the amount of sin to be
eradicated. We are not aware that
There is, however a condition of pur-
gatory presented in the teachings of
the Scriptures. 1t is becoming very
clear to all enlightened Bible scholars
that the period of Christ's reign on
earth for the space of thousand
years, when Satan is bound and the
knowledge of the Lord is filing the
whole earth as the waters cover the
great deep, that then the nations of
earth will learn righteousness and
gra dua11y be p,1rged of all iniquity and
prepared to enter into the conditions
of eternaIalife. This. OF course. will be
after the second advent The world is
not to be scorched and blistered in
ain attempt to make 1t pure and up-
right but the Lord will rule in right
eousness and love and win the race by
His kindness and tender mercies.

GETTING BACK AT THE POST
MASTER GENERAL.

The magazine and paper publish
ers are getting back at the postmaster
general through q congressional in
quiry and comparison of methods of
circulating their output.
The report of N B. williams, special
investigator for the house committee
on expenditures in the postoff1ce de-
pz-.nnent, also shows that the news
papers and magazines deliver quite a
large part of their output by express
companies and special trains, and that
the cost Of the bulk of that service is
one-qua-ter to one-half a cent per
pound The government rate is one
cent q pound, it should be remem-
bered.
Otherwise put, the railroads and
express companies carried in the last
fiscal year 500, 0oo, 900 pounds of
newspapers and magazines, and that
for this work they received about
SS,5oo. 0oo. The postoffice department
in the same period carried goo, 000, 900
pounds OF the same kind of matter,
or three times as much as the rail-
roads and express companies carried,
and for this service received only
$1,000, goo, or a little more than twice
as much as the railroads for three
times the same bulk.
Now the postoffice department
charges about twice as much as the
express and railroad rate, and yet
gets only twice as much money for
three times the service which is crit
icised as a poor business showing
What private corporations can make
profitable, the government certainly
ought TO be able 10 at present rates.

THE CONVICTION OF SANFORD.

The Rev. Frank W. Sanford, the
organizer and for Is years the leader
Of the Holy Ghost and Us sect in
Maine. has been found guilty in the
United States court Of causing the
death OF half dozen of his followers,
and will doubtless be sent to prison.
As q religious fanatic he has been the
limit, going so far as to trust the
Lord to feed him and his party on the
high seas On two occasions he was
relieved by signals OF distress to pass
ing steamers. The Bangor CONNER
cial says OF him and his colony:
There seems no likelihood that
Sanford viii be permitted longer to
head the Shiloh movement. 1t is char
stable, perhaps. to consider the man
insane and he doubtless is mono
maniac on the subject of religion.
His statement in court is convincing
in this regard as. refusing counsel,
he stated that he was carrying out the
win of the Lord as disclosed to him.
He appears perfectly reconciled to
whatever may happen to him and
doubtless regards that whatever pun
5shment may come to him it will be
but martyrdom-
Tt is probable that the result will
be speedy disfntegration of Shiloh.
Sanford must have a strong person
atty and be a remarkable man in
many ways to have built up such q
colony and kept it going. But he has
shown himself to be a dangerous man.
and. as District Attorney Whitehouse
remarked in court. Shiloh is a danger
spot that should be removed from the
community"

As . champion of the oppressed null

TAFT HARD TO BEAT.

The feeling is rapidly gaining ground
that President Taft will be a hard man
to beat in 1912. The national repub-
1ican committee is unanimously in
favor of his denomination; and with
out doubt a big majority of the re-
publican delegates to the convention
to be held at Chicago on June 18th,
1912, will be.
heard through the mediumship Of the
Charlotte On. CO. Observer:
IF Taft shall be selected as the
the democrats will have the hardest
job they ever have undertaken to de-
feat him, and there must be unity of
purpose, square dealing between all
the factions, constant work through
out the campaign, absolute good faith
in the democratic ranks. We believe
that majority of the people in this
country would like to have a change of
administration at Washington, not be-
cause Taft has not done the best he
could with the Iegacies left hirss by
his predecessor. but that the faith of
this country cannot be placed in the
honest purposes and good intentis
and right administration of public
affairs by the republican party. A
plain, square, fair, stand-up fight for
the principles of democracy as laid
down by Jefferson, as illustrated by
Cleveland and adhered to by the
substantial and reasonable people of
this country, is the only fight that can
win, and the only fight that should

REcLAiMINc MARSH LANDS.

The movement for the reclamation
of scores of millions of wet, malaria
and fever breeding lands and making
them healthful, habitable and Prohta-
bic, is gaining considerable impetus In
all parts of the country.
The need for national cooperation
in the great work of reclaiming our
7s, 0o0, 900 acres of swamp and over
flow lands, is WILDLY pointed out by
the bulletin Just issued on the subject
by the department of agriculture" said
Edmund r. Perkins of the Chicago
board of control of the Irrigation con-
gress, commenting upon the news des-
patches from Washington.
Secretary wilson, continued Mr..
Perkins, makes the statement that q
great deal of money has been expend-
ed for retaining marsh lands with
out getting permanent effective results,
because of lack of cooperation and
the insufficient size or poor construc-
ton and maintenance of levees, sluices
and bitches He makes the further
statement that unreclaimed low lands,
worth from 81 to $40 per acre, will
be worth from $50 to 500 per acre
when drained; and that besides pro-
ducing a financial benefit the drain
age would destroy the breeding places
for mosquitoes and reduce unhealth-
full conditions
The advocates OF this work claim
that the constructive work of the ir-
riga tionists has been SO we'll grounded
that there is doubt the members
of the Irrigation congress will bring
about a national movement for the
reclamation of the 5000, 900 acres of
wet lands of which about 14,000,0 900
are quite near to Chicago, in Illinois,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Iowa.
Secretary Wilson's bulletin urging
the necessity of cooperation will be
a good thing for the movement.
