and become the first fruits of them
| that are asleep This text is found in
one of the grandeSt chapters in all the
writings of Paul. 1t is especially grand
| to those who have departed loved
| ones. No sooner do loved ones pass
away than the question arises: Shall
we see them again?' And in this
chapter of eight verses we have the
full answer to this question, for it is
given almost entirely to the discussion
of this glorious theme. The gospel
preached by the apostles rested upon
four pillars-the first the atoning death
of Christ, the second his burial and
resurrection, the third his ascension,
and fourth his coming again. These
four doctrines were emphasized by
the apostles and we find them all prom
inent in this chapter, Paul begins his
discussion by saying: Moreover,
brethren, I declare unto you the Cos
pei which | preached unto you, which
also We have received and wherein We
stand, and by which also ye are saved
if we keep in memory what l preached
unto you, unless We have believed in
vain, for l delivered unto you first of
all that which l also received, how
that Christ died for our sins, according
to the Scriptures, and that He was
buried and that He rose again the
third day, according to the Scriptures
The resurrection Of Christ is one of
the two fundamental truths of the Cos
pei. The death of Christ without His
resurrection would be no more than
the heroic death Of martyr, the atom
ing death of the Son of God. The res
direction of Jesus Christ was the most
prominent and cardinal point in the
apostolic testimony Many stop with
the death of Christ in their preaching
today, but it was not so with Paul. He
laid much stress upon the resurrection,
as well as the death.
Hope in This Life Only.
First, call your attention to the
first part of this text, If in this life |
only We have hope in Christ, we are in |
a most miserable state Philosophical |
speculation, they tell us, has gone
through heaven and told us there is
no gold there, and through hell and
told us there is no fire there, and
through Christ and told us there is no
God there, and through the grave and
old us there is no resurrection, and

Christ be not raised, your faith is

Christ are persisted; if in this life only

men, most miserable To deny that

The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1912-01-30

The notable series of Revival Meet
ings conducted for the last month in
Moscow by Rev. Oscar Lowry and his
workers, came to an end Sunday night
when, at the close of powerful SER
mon. over 1876 converts came forward
to affiliate in Christian life and
work.
These were part of the S67 con-
versions during the meetings.
Sundays meetings were all success
full. At the morning service about
$1,1OO was raised for the evangelist,
and this sum was increased to little
more than $500 during the day. The
evangelist preached two of his best
sermons, both of which appear in other
columns Of this paper.
Throughout the day there was most
notable enthusiasm.

Lake Charles Times:
The beginning of the heated period
should bring with it an Intensified
campaign against the fly AS a germ
creator and disseminator 1t goes to
the head of it's class. Kansas City
Health officers have been making
some Investigations which will prove
interesting as well as valuable to
every citizen if they are given care
full consideration before the heated
period of the year becomes far ad-
vanced.
A housefly, according TO several
authorities, multiplies itself 12O
times in two weeks. It lis clear then
that for every fly you Kill you will
receive an enormo ously large amount
of interest in August. The same
authorities give one fIya carrying
capacity of more than three million
germs.
The fly thriyes on manure piles
and other object ctionable filth. Here
the female lays her eggs, and here
the young are hatched. Their feet
are of spongy material and are
capable of collecting filth and germs.
The fly you see walking about on
your food may be Niping germs and
filth from its feet.
Flies have a great deal to dc with
| the spread Of infectious diseases.
These diseases only attack people
when a germ is swallowed. Typhoid
fever is an example. The fly comes
from typhoid patient to the table
of a healthy man. He puts his feet

O. H. Benson, Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, has COM
pleted a series of canning demonstra-
tions at the State University which
included the preservation of all kinds
Of vegetables and fruit available at
this season, and particularly toma-
toes. Canning is fast acquiring
prominent place in household and
general farming economics, being
recognized not only as the means OF
putting an end to waste and turn
ing surplus production into a source
Of revenue, but also insuring long
larder and a full dinner pail during
the Seasons when fresh fruit and veg
stables are not obtainable. Many
hundreds of people saw the demon.
strations and exhibited interest there
in.
