Later, they brought the arti-

the first article obliterated, which

Jack Johnson did to Jim Jefries.
The incorporators are some Sc

forth information as to the mem

the idea of it, or the desire to re-

SUICIDE DOCUMEN1.
Madison, Wis, May 24.-The
Lauma Kunhelea Cosmopolita
,Uniperseela Sobiete, of Milwau-
kee, was incorporated here today.
But not until there had been a
great deaIof trouble over it.
When the society first present
ed its articles of incorporation to
the Secretary of State, that digni-
tary Immediately threw fit.
The cause of the Secretary's
agitation was the first article,
which announced in very plain
English that the purpose of the
society was ito reduce the size of
families and to set a limit on the
number of children to each fam
ily."
"NxI' said the Secretary,
jumping up and down in his ex-
element. 'Whatd'yu think this
is?-a race suicide office! This is
the Office of the Secretary of State
of Wisconsin, which belongs to
that great and glorious Union of
freedom, the United States of
America, where one may have as
many children as he pleases, SO
long as he does 50 with full benefit
of clergy"

corporators.

rotary. Away with this race

! The law was given as a type o1

given. for the purpose of binding

inquirer may say why did not
God, demand Of them the same
kind of d sacrifice. We answer
If there had not Of been two
classes OF people, then God could
have said to them lsraelites,
bring your bodies q living sacri-
flee. But after THE MAN ADAM
had violated the command given
to him by God himself. which
was. But Of the tree of the
knowledge Of good and evil thou
shalt not cat of it, this was IN
the language that we can use.
Keep your body a living sacrj-
flee for in the day thou eat
thereof thou shalt surely die. -
After TIE ADAM had eat Of that
Forbidden fruit, he could not
bring his body living sacrifice.
This was impossible for him to

offered that could give life. And
this could not he done until the
time come that Christ could be
offered withou. violating God g
own declarations. So those Of
feringS and sacrifices. was q
type Of Christ as q sacrifice,
hence, they had to offer those
daily sacrit,c IS. They kept in
their memory the past trans
gression Of their irSt father, and
it called thcir memory to the fu-
ture, when thcy expected their
redccmer to come. They have
not received it yet. They were
blinded, ana left under the same
law that ordered the sacrifices Of
bulls and goats. they are stiIl un-
der that law. Their eyes were
blinded, they we're left in this
sleep. that Christ might bring
salvation to the GpntilcS, which
would place the Gcnt!les under
the law Of righteousness we
might say that tie Israe1ites
were, and have been, and will be
enemies to the gospel as it is
written:
"As concerning the gospel,
they are enemies for your sahes;
but as touching tho election, they
are Beloved for tfe fathers

There cruid be nothing plain.
er than the differences there
was between the created man
and the formed man and it was
for this reason sleep and death

the Cinnamon never neglecting to take
advantage OF an opportunity to advertise
their business.
Several weeks ago the Chinese in the

stantial greetings to their relatives in
China, most Of them taking pains to
send money to their wives and parents in
China during the holiday season.
None Of the Cinnamon works during the
holiday season unless his financial con-
ditiOn is such that it is absolutely nee
essary for him to do so, and there are
some laundrymen who consider the serv-
ing Of their customers of more impor-
