Least in the Standardization xi:2-19
 Amongst them that are born of women there is none greater than John; yet the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he."-Luke vii:2S
 It would be difficult to express in words a higher tribute to John the Bap- tist than Jesus paid him in our text. If then John was so holy a man, so great a man from the divine standpoint, why did our Lord in this text declare that the least in the kingdom of heaven would be greater than John? This text has pug zled Bible opponents for many a day. It has seemed 10 many to be contradictory.
 But, just as soon as we turn on the light contained in that word Kingdom" {" the entire subject becomes clear. God had promised a Messianic kingdom, and Jesus had come that He might be the head of that kingdom. The steps lead ing to the Kingdom honors and glories were steps of obedience to God. even unto death, and these steps Jesus took
 Our Lord thus became the great con queror, the great high priest. the great king of glory. being exalted to the heav- enly state fin His resurrection. But, as the Great King He was to have associ- ated with Him in His throne His bride class. As the Great Priest. He was to have an under priesthood, royal priesthood" AS the Great Judge of the world, He was to have associates; as St. Paul declares.

not obtanable. According to informa- tion received here, however, King had trouble with the negroes some time ago and had threatened them. Sunday after noon the negroes were returning iron church in a wagon, when Harden stopped them and got into the vehicle. They or dered him out and he then opened fire whereupon King then appeared and took hand in the fray. The negroes were armed with shotguns and pistols and re- turned the fire, which resulted in King falling dead and Harden badly wounded It is stated that Kings body was riddled with bullets.
 Both white men were tough characters and had, it is alleged, been drinking heavi- ly. The affair has created good deal of excitement, as the negroes claim they shot in self defense. Harden refuses to talk. Sheriff Sparks and his deputies are still at work on the case and other arrests are likely to follow.

FAIR COMMITTEE
 HAS LITTLE SUCCESS

Montgomery, June 11.-(Special)-Th committee of the Business Mems league appointed to solicit subscriptions for the state fair has not met with the success which it anticipated. A little over s5OO0 has been raised, and s1o,0OO is the amount needed to carry out the movement with the proper degree of success.
 F. G. Salter, chairman of the commit tee. declares that while the movement is held in favor in some quarters. other business men of the city have little in clination to help toward making the fair a success. It is announced that $10.000 is the least amount needed to carry out tho project, and unless this amount is raised it is doubtful if Montgomery will have fair this year.
