christians discovered that Christ was
not only Christ but Lord of all. They
knew the promise and waited and
prayed for the coming. 1t came and
new light flooded the world. 1t was
a courageous act of Peter when he
declared from the housetops that his
leader He was the Christ Not until
the appearance OF the Spirit of God
did these early christians understand
the purpose of Christ. While He was
on the earth His attempt was to edu-
cate the people in every phase Of life.
The speaker referred to the idea
held by some people, which appeared
on the surface to he right: that every
man had right to hold and express
his opinions, but commended that those
opinions must be founded upon cor
rect principles directed by the great
teachings of Christ the Lord of all.
Rash speaking and rash talking have
been INDUCED in time immemorial
and there has followed destruction in
this idea of Independent talk and
action of individuals If the truth
shall make you free then thou shalt be
! free indeed. So man to be we'll
founded must have truth and NOR
ality as the foundation of his opin-
ions. Modern critics appear to have
lanother idea of the matter.
The Christship of the Lord and the
4 Iordship of Christ was early recog-
nized He will be Lord. The modern
thinkers have tried to rule Him out;
but if Christ was recognized in the
industrial world, the commercial
world and the social world there would
be different conditions existing among
the laboring classes and the poor
among us. There are thieves in the
commercial life and thieves, in the
church life If man would go to his
business in the morning as, he goes
Ito the church or the communion SER
vice, the world would be changed. Be-
cause of the separation OF church and
state there is no reason to determine
that God should be left out OF any
thing in which man is engaged. The
Lordship of Christ oversees every in
anu S'Vi LIZ 10 LIN
of the state as well as Of the church.
He is Lord of the moral and spiritual
Irealm--is Lord Of all. He has word
for the hoard Of trade of New York
and of Chicago and He has word for
the business men of Keokuk. Mr..
Sanders closed his address with a
pretty paragraph in the manner of an
appeal to christians to devise some
means of which the Lordship OF
Christ may become more earnest
ny recognized under, whose great
!, fundamental principles we are to save
ourselves and other men must be
saved and crown Him Lord of all

How Japanese speak Of Death.


At Onsen-Gori OF Iyo province a
mans death is spoken OF as he has
gone to Hiroshima to bug cotton" In
the same province the expression
changes to ito go to Hiroshima to buy
tea at Echi-ogri, and to ito go to
Hiroshima to buy tobacco" at Nil
gori In Buzen and Iwami they. also
say me has gone to Hiroshima to buy
cotton" The reason is that the peo-
pie hate to pronounce the inauspicious
word death But why they have
come to limit the unknown destina-
ticn to Hiroshima remains a mystery.
At Hagi Of Coshu they say she has
gone to Nagasaki to buy tea when
they want to say a mar is dead, but
one knows not why Nagasaki OF all
other places has been chosen. In this
connection it will be interesting to
learn that the Eta In Chikuzen prov
ince will bluntly say when they refer
to girl who has been married, she
has found a place to die at"

Rescued by Dogs OF st. Bernard.

The dogs Of ST. Bernard recently
rescued two women who were on their
way to Milan and were overtaken by
a storm. The women were overcome.
and 1t seemed that death was certain.
One of the dogs passing scented the
travellers. He barked as only st. Ber-
nard dogs can bark and this brought
up his comrade, who was some dis
lance away. The two dogs started on
their search, found the women half
buried in snow and then ran off to the
hospice and the brothers were able to
add two more names to their long list
of rescues.

'Anti-saIoon League Attorney Claims
rs Per Cent do illegal Bust
ness in Handling
Liquor.
LEAGUE HAS DONE
Calls Attention to What the orsan,z.
ton Has Been Doine-Gives His
tory of the Mulct
Law.

That 75 per cent of the druggists OF
the state violate the state liquor laws
as defined in their permits to sell
liquor, was the assertion of M. S.
ode, attorney for the Anti-Saloon
league OF the state, who has been one
of the leading attorneys in he cru
SADIE against saloons in southeastern
Iowa. He was speaking in the First
Baptist church at Fort Madison.
Mr. Odle claims that the druggists
cannot make their permit expenses
unless they do violate this law and
according to his statements an act
will soon be introduced in the state
legislature changing the permits SO
that there will be less danger of law
violation.
Mr.. Odle called attention to the
work of the Anti-Saloon league in
reducing the number Of saloons in
the state until at present there are
only between five and six hundred
saloons in operation.
He told something of the history
of the mulct law and its application
and also expressed his faith in the
belief that the state will move into
the prohibition column within few
years.
| Iowa laws regulating the liquor
traffic were praised by the Anti-Sa-
loon man, who said that they are
the best liquor laws in the United
States outside of total prohibition.
Mention was made Of the effort OF
Senator Kenyon to secure an amend.
ment to the interstate commerce law
providing for state regulation of all
shipment7 to points within the state
from oil eide and the people were
warned against the efforts of the liz
uor people to secure local option in
place of the mulct law, which is now
in force.
IF all men could be brought to
the foot of the cross" he said, there
would be no need for temperance
agitators and reformers The church
has a duty to perform in solving this
great problem OF the liquor traffic"

There are times when there are
bundles of old papers to be burned.
This is dangerous in CRATE fire. The
following is the method which will
avert danger of the chimney catching
fire: Make tight rolls Of all the papers
and fasten them with pieces of soft
wire-broomstick wire will DO. They
will then form kind Of log and
burn slowly without fame. The

An Eloquent and Striking Discourse

Church.

services was held at the Trinity Meth
odist Episcopal church last night,
opening very auspiciously and would
have been more encouraging had there
been a larger attendance. There
Were five pastors of the churches
represented present and a much small
er percentage Of the lay members of
the congregations in attendance Yet
the meeting proved very interesting
and the comparatively small number
present seemed close in attention and
enjoyed every feature of the exercises.
1t was hoped and the prediction was
confidently made at the meeting that
the congregations would grow as the
week passes by and at the end the
churches would be filed if not crowd
ed with anxious attendants
Rev. J. M. Brown, pastor Of Trinity
Methodist Episcopal church, officiat-
ed at the opening of the services,
when was sung that fine old familiar
hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus
Name after which q scripture lesson
was read by Rev. ]. c. Mccain of the
Protestant Methodist church, from the
second chapter of Acts, beginning at
the thirty-second verse, which was
followed by another hymn
Reverend Brown then made a few
pertinent remarks referring to the
union services he had attended, OF
the interest taken and how the
churches in which they are held were
filled with interested congregations.
He hoped and prayed that these
meetings would grow in Keokuk until
the churches would be packed before
| the end CT the week He urged that
those present talk to their neighbors
about the meetings and prevail upon
/ them to attend.
In the second chapter and thirty
second chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles will be found the text for the
Entertaining, instructive and uplift
/ irig sermon of Rev. James F. Sanders
OF the First Baptist church. Reverend
Sanders appeared to have been key
ed up to his best and his sermon was
most earnestly enjoyed. While ap
plause is considered inappropriate at
real religious services an occasional

churches to denote approval. Last
night faint echo of this sign of APP.

Really Interesting Item.

"A newspaper receives daily for
publication" says the Berliner Tage-

as much literary value as laundry
