The golden text throws wonderful
light upon this whole lesson. He,
Jesus, the Light, came into the world
and we must account for him. Like
Plate. we have him on our hands. If
we refuse to walk in the light we
have committed the last and the ir-
renediable sin If we sin wilfully
after seeing the light, there remains no
other, no more, sacrifice for sin. WheA
In order to continue in our evil deeds
which cannot stand the presence Of the
light, we choose rather the darkness
and refuse to submit ourselves to the
call Of the Light we bring ourselves
under condemnation.

CACTUS CENTER's WARRIOR.

Down here in Cactus Center we admire
 man who scraps; For a mollYcoddle Weaklin we would
 mt give two raps; So we all took off our Stetsons to a
 Greek, game to the core He waited in our hotel. and he longed
 to go to war. We seen him fairly weepin' In the hash joint where he works Because he had this honin' fer to 70
 and fight the Turks; Bear Hawkins says: By thunder, this
 game lad wants to fight We must send him OCT the ocean, and
 we've got to send him right" So we passed the hat in Cactus, and ws
 filled 1t to the brim; We bought a steam boat ticket, and we
 give the same to him; And then we said: "A fighter needs the
 tools of that there trade" So we give him every weapon that tho
 gunshops ever made. He had ten Colts revolvers. and six
 rifles in his trunk, With cartridges to fit 'em. and a raft
 Of carvin' junk; He sure looked like fighter when we
 put him on the train The boss of Montenegro will seek his
 like in vain. So in the news of xcrappin' in Europes
 troubled states We know that mong the thousands that's meetln' of their fates, A lot of 'em is victims of our fighting
 Grecian man Which we sent to do some killin' on
 the Cactus Center plan.
