er that we should live happily here AM
hereafter not willing that any SHOULD
perish, but that all should come to re
Ipentanee. Nay, more; he must no
only viii that we shall live hereafter
but. if we prove obedient to his laws
that we shall become members of hi
divine kingdom. inherit a delightful
estate therein, and live in his imme
diate presence forever. And since Goo
is infinite, he must be able to give us
all he desires. Therefore. it must ap-
pear that not unreasonably do we hope
for Immortality and eternal blessedness
in the presence OF God. Christ, no W.
ever, did not need to so reason when he
declared: Il go unto the Father" and
again, Where / am, there We may be
also. But obedience to and love and
reverence for God are our passports to
that upper kingdom.
1t i'll became Spencer as a great
scientist and philosopher to speak dis
paragingly Of the Biblical doctrine that
God desires the alteration and worship
Of man. The spiritual world (unknow-
able to Spencer) certainly has its laws
and forces just as the natural. The
unconditional cause, the absolute God,
is the great controlling and attractive
center of the divine and spiritual king
dom; and love and reverence for him
are the magnetic cords, or forces, OF
spiritual gravity, that hold us true and
draw us toward the spiritual and divine
center of light, life and power, which is
God. We are drawn to each other by
he power OF love, and to God precisely
he same way. And worship is only
he proper and legitimate expression of
hat love or reverence. Love is the
cal magnetic cord that unites us to
God, the central power; worship is only
is vivid manifestation. Hence, Paul,
,eing a truer or greater philosopher
han Spencer, declared that Love is
he fulfilling Of the law" Love fuIfills
he great necessary law OF attraction be-
ween man and Cod And Christ, the
son OF God, said: And /, if be lift
d up from the earth, will draw all men
into me"--draw all men by exercising
he same magnetic spiritual power
which the Father possesses. So if we
gould be drawn to the infinite God. and
bide in bis paradise hereafter, we must
hey the law Of spiritual gravity, which
J love, the best expression OF which is
Yorship. Hence the greatest COM
landment is to love God; the next,
ove man. Thus we may be saved and :
clip to save Others.

Revival Closes.

The revival meeting, which has been
in progress at the Presbyterian Church
for the past two weeks, came to close
Sunday night Rev. Zwingle and the
Vaughan Quartette left Monday morn
ing for Wagner where they began a
series Of meetings that night.
Pryor has been greatly benefited by
these workers OF God coming here, and
every one who was fortunate enough
to hear the masterful sermons delivered
by Rev. Zwingle will never forget them,
for they vert home to many hearts in
Pryor where they will remain forever.
Homes were made happier, church
members were brought to a realization
Of their duties toward the church, God,
and the morals OF the town, and the
people in general, without regard to
their church affiliations, were stirred
with compassion for the people Of Pryor
who were unsayed. Many people we're
saved and others signiied their willing
ness to lead a better life from this time
forth.
The Vaughan Quartette, who travel
with Rev. Zwingle to conduct the song
services, are, withouta doubt, the best
quartette of singers the Pryor people
have ever been fortunate enough to hear.
G. w. Zwingle, the basso singer, dem
onstrated that he was master in his
art from the fact that he could carry his
voice, to the very lowest tones Of any
music with great ease and without any
possible strain. The solo which he sang
at the last service caused many to stop
and say to themselves: wonderful.
When band Of talented men like
these get together and work like they
do for the kingdom Of God something
is going to happen. Should they ever
happen to come our way again they
will receive the glad hand from every
0re and the invitation is extended to
come again. Mays County Repub-
lean, Pryor, Okla.

~ EHOLD, the 6es Of March! To-day is the one thousand nine
hundred and fifty-sixth anniversary of the assassination Of
Julius Caesar whom Lord Bacon pronounced the most COM
plcte character Of all antiquity.
General, politician, statesman, orator, man Of letters, in the
Afy-six years Of his life he marched tirclessly up and down the
ancient Mediterranean world from Britain to Spain, from Spain to
Asia Minor, conquering, organizing, reconquering, recognizing tho
sippery, restless, hslfsavage hordes on the outskirts of the Empire.
Between times he carried on one Of the bitterest civil struggles that
history records with rivals who worked treacherousy against him at
Rome while hc made his flying, dazzling oonquests in Gaul and Spain.
When he emerged from the struggle with his foot on the neck
Of al opposition he showed his real greatness by . quality rarely seen
IN the ancient world up to that time-cemency.
All his life he diligently courted popular favor by the spectacu.
la, crude methods Of his time, By brilliant victories, by incredibly
lavish spending Of money for I'd Reimbursement His private life
WAS far from regular. His morals were free even in an age Of
laxity
Yet such ws Ah industry that three secretaries could not keep
pace with him. On the toughest journeys through campaigns he
dictated in his travelling carriage the wonderful narratives whose
style has preserved their subject MISTER. When no reached the height
Of popularity that amounted to adulstion he used his power not in
securing to himself ease end ideness, but in wise reforms Of social
evils, in making digests 6 laws, in huge schemes Of draining marsh
lands, enlarging hsrbors, strengthening boundaries and building
roads.
The gaunt, commanding figure, with is pale, thin, beardless face,
bald head and piercing black eyes, was borne about the city a. a
sacred being. Statues were erected to him. Coins bore his portrait.
The honos Of . god were his.
At the height Of his power he was struck down, a. all the world
knows, by the Jealous dagges Of those who pretended to fear he had
become too crest.

WORLD WIDE!

HVERYBCDY'S getting it now! That's about all the
consolation for the consumer in President Tafts special mes
sage to Congress anent the high cost Of living. The Depart
ment Of State has been looking into the matter and finds that in
foreign countries, too, the cost Of the necessaries of life has increased
more rapidly than the wages of the people who pay for them.
"This disproportion in many cases" says Mr.. Taft, "s 10 marked
~ to be startling"
But as to causes-wcll, nobody seems to get that far. Even the
cooperative societies of Great Britain, with their fifty years Of OBJ
servation, haven't found the reason why living is dearer.
Can 1t be that the world as a whole is more wasteful than in
former generations? Can it be that the very ease and plentifulness
with which certain convenences of life can now be obtained tempt
people in general to cast aside the old and buy new with less thought
than in earlier times; to throw away the chicken bones with meat
sll on them, to buy a fresh roast rather than make stew of the
Straps?
Economics is a formidable and complicated science. One Of it's
sure and simple principles, however, is that all destruction and waste
II wealth have to be atoned for somewhere.
