BIBLE STUDENT LECTURES
Az PLAY HOUSE ON DEATH
Cole Speaks on a Very Inter
estihg Subject to a
Large Crowd.

FL..LHW au.a
The Victoria theater was well
filed yesterday afternoon when p. H.
Cole, ". ID. M, under the auspices
of the international Bible Students
Association, of Brooklyn, delivered
an address on the subject of
Death" The speakers mission is
a non-denominational one and peo-
pie of every religious faith were in
attendance. They were accorded a
fine treat by the talented speaker,
who said the best way to find out
what death is, is to find out what
life is, for death, he declared, was
the absence Of life. He pointed out
in detail the Bible account of the
creation of Father Adam: how he
enjoyed life in perfect body and
perfect intellect. He made a tell
ing point when describing the actual
process by which Adam became a
living being. The doctrine Of evo-
luton and higher criticism would
find no advocates If all could see the
reasonableness of the scripture ac-
count, he declared.
Also the heather theory of the
natural Immortality of the soul, he
declared, was introduced into the
Christian religion during the dark
ages, and the horrible torture Of the
vast majority of the race was the
logical result OF this false doctrine.
He showed strong scriptural proof
that both these doctrines were with
out any Foundation whatever in
Gods Word, but that, on the con-
trary, the scriptures declared that
Tall the wicked would God destroy
not preserve.
Devil to BE Destroyed.
lie showed, too, how even the
devil, the arch-enemy of the race,
and all in sympathy with him. were
eventually to be destroyed-'be as
they had not been" He declared
that the scriptures positively taught
that death was the absence of life
in every sense, and the only hope for
the dead lay in the resurrection
guaranteed by the death of Christ.
HE showed logically and %scripturally
reasons why death was in the World
because of Adams wtIfuI transgres-
sion of the Divine command, and

that never had committed any sin,
was subjected to its ravages as well
as the old and hardened criminal.
The father had eaten the sour grape
and the children's teeth were set on
edge.
He drew a telling contrast be-
tween the work of Adam in bring
ing the whole race under the death
sentence through disobedieuee, and
the work OF Christ Is bringing deliv-
erance from the curse for the whole
race through His obedience. He de-
clared the real reason why the race
had not yet been released from the
curse was that God had been holding

headed for the only available pass over

will not accommodate two lines. The
road that secures the pass and builds
over the mountains holds the right-Of-

use the tracks of the rival line under

British Columbia government should
favor dominion road as against the
claims of one building in from the
United States, and in that case the
Great Northern would have to stand
back and use it's rivals track. 1t is
no more than the Hill system deserves,
for it has had ample time under the
franchise to build clear through to the
coast. However it would work fur

FEELING THE PUBLIC PULSE,

Hon. w. A. Bolinger, of Methow, was
a visitor in OrOville last Thursday
evening going on Friday morning to
Ferry county. Mr.. Bolinger who rep
resented this county in the lower
house of the legislature a few years
ago, is now a candidate for joint SEN
rator for the counties of Grant. Doug
las, Ferry and Okanogan. Mr.. BOlin-
ger spent such a short time here that
he was able to meet only few citizens
but he found friendly feeling pre-
vailing, feeling that will result in in
suring him very solid support In
this part of the county il he favors
county division. Mr.. Bolinger was
rather non-cOmmittal upon the subject.
and as a candidate before all the peo-
pie he could take no other attitude.
His trip is for the purpose of sound
ing the people upon their views re-
garding the present agitation. and his
attitude will be largely determined
when he has carefully weighed the
drift of public sentiment. 1t Is to be
presumed that if Mr. BOlinger decides
that majority, or very material mi
nority, of the taxpayers of Okanogan
county favor division he will work for
that end in case he Is elected

A CLOSE CALL.

Mrs. Ed. Lunstrum and Mrs. Will
Johnson and baby, living ON Elleme-
ham mountain, had very narrow es-
cape from a serious accident while
driving down the grade between Blue
lake and Oroville Monday. The ladies
were driving in single seated hack
with top, and at point on the road
just below Judge Fraser's home met a
team coming up the hill. The road is
very narrow, the ground falling away
precipitously on one side with steep
bank on the other. On the down hill
side pole has been placed as scant
protection to prevent teams going over
the grade. Mrs. Lundstrum had to
turn out at this place. AS she did so
the horse ON the outside slipped over
the grade, and only the docility of the
other horse and the presence of the
guard pole prevented the vehicle from
rolling to the bottom of the canyon.
