Letter From South Dakota.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN: Thinking that
some of your readers would like to hear
from a former Garrett countian, | will
give you some news from the "Kiote"
state. am located 2 miles from Lane,
town of 600 population. l am trying
to farm and raise stock. Land is worth
$50 to 500 per acre 1t IS good, black
sandy soil and would be a good place for
farmers of Garrett county who want
more land to locate. You can buy 100
or 920 acre tracts.
Garrett county is all right, but would
rather farm in Dakota. | have just fin

much corn as | wanted. | have two

In Memory of Asa n. burst.

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh
away. Asa Milton burst was born
November 2, 1882. The Lord called him
November 7, 1918. Stricken down by
the dread typhoid in the mellow.autnmn
days, he fingered until the earth, his
last resting place, was mantled in white.
On the following Sunday afternoon,
Rev. Withers performed the last sad
rites in the Methodist church at New
Germany.
He joined the Methodist Episcopal
church early in life, 'placing.his member
ship with the Mt. Beulah church at
New Germany. The church can boast
of few more faithful attendants upon
divine services than he. His seat in
Sunday school was rarely vacant.
No one but those wAo watched at his
side can ever realize how intensely he
suffered or how bravely and uncomplain-
ingly he endured it all. Death came
not as conqueror but as a sweet re-
lease. The end came quietly and peace
fully, gentle ripple on the tranquil sea
of time, a gentle recedlng wave return
ing TO its source. We still linger on
the shore, mutely looking out across the
dark waters and wondering who next
will take passage across the mystic sea.
The silver chord is broken. Our home
can never be complete except in a home
beyond, IN home not made by hands.
Written in loving tribute by
A BROTHCR.

ARE not the Oakland merchants max
ing mistake by delaying the display
ing and advertising of Christmas goods?
The city merchants are doing so. So
are merchants of near by towns. In
looking over the exchanges coming to
this office we notice the advertisements
of holiday goods. The large retail
houses are urging their patrons to shop
early. Circulars are being mailed to
citizens of this county, urging them to
send in their orders at once. Every
merchant should get out his Christmas
stock because the people are making
their selections earlier than in former
times. 1t they do not see what they
want at home, they will order it from
the city stores. The purchasing public
has more money today than they will
have month from now.

Mr.. BartOn's Lecture.

To the Editor of the Republican:
Beyond the Crave was the title of a
very interesting lecture delivered at the
Maryland theatre, Oakland, Thursday,
Nov. 9th, the speaker being Pastor B.
H. Barton, of Philadelphia.
In a very original manner the subject
of the resurrection was set forth, and
even those who could not agree with all
the conclusions of the Pastor must have
had their faith in the future life
strengthened by the forcible Nav in
which things beyond the grave were
treated.
The certainty of the Bible evidence
that we will know our loved ones there,
was emphacized; among other things

THE attention Of the friends of Garrett
county public schools is called to the
Educational rally to be held at Friends
vile tomorrow. 1t will be an interest
ing occasion, and means much for the
public scoools of Garrett county. Every
public school official, from the Board of
School Commissioners down to the
trustees of the county, the teachers and
every friend of education should attend
this rally, 1t is expected that State
Superintendent DR.. M. Bates Stephens
will be present. The REPUBLICAN
hopes that this will be one of the largest
educational conventions ever held in
Garrett county.

he said: eff we do not know each other
there we will have to loose all memory
of the associations of the present life,
and this would mean that we would not
be ourselves. as personality includes
memory. But this doesn't mean that
we will recognize each other by outward
appearance, for there are other and
even better ways of knowing our loved
ones than their outward looks.
Pastor Barton is among those who be-
lieve there is an interval between death
and the resurrection. He quoted a
number of passages of Scripture along
the line of John Ii: ,, to prove that the
resurrection would take place when !Je-
sus comes the second time, rather than
at the moment of death.
In this part of his discourse he said:
1.-THE existence of this interval explains
why the Bible so often refers to the dead
as asleep. 1t also accounts for the in
terminable discussions in which theolo-
gians have engaged over the subject of
an intermediate state.
"There are many who discern the ex-
istence of this interval between death
and the beginning of the next life, and
have speculated freely on where the in
terval is spent. But we see clearly that
there is no intermediate state, that is
no conscious state, but this interval is
one long period of restful sleep, waiting
for the Lords return.
However, since the dead are uncon-
scious, the raising of the dead will APP
pear to them the same as if they were
raised the moment of death. They will
have no knowledge that there was such
an interval until thus informed.
But when the dead come forth what
Undesirable JOY will be theirs. The BIZ
bic encourages US to believe that the
resurrection life will be filled with sur
prises far beyond the power Of the mind
to grasp. Several scriptures even war
rant US in expecting that millions of
mothers who lost little ones here will
finish raising them to perfect manhood
in the life beyond"
1t was suggested that very few will
be lost in comparison with what we once
supposed, only such being finally lost as
have hearts SO thoroughly out of har-
mony with God and righteousness that
nothing could ever make them fit for
eternal life.
But even those who are lost will be
punished in accordance with the highest
justice, and no one could be bad enough
to deserve a million years of torture for
his sins; then how much less could any
justly deserve an eternity of misery?
This idea that everlasting pain and
torture await the wicked is out of har-
mony with the teachings of the Word of
God. The Apostle tells us in II Peter
2: II, that the wicked shall utterly per
ish like brute beasts, while in Obadiah
16 we are told Of some who will be de-
stroyed 50 COMPLETELY that they shall be
as though they bad not been.
"All such passages indicate the ulti-
mate destruction OF the wicked rather
than their ever lasting preservation in
agony and Woe
The word hgl is probably the most
misunderstood word in the English Ian
guage. 1t does not mean place of
torment, but simply the death state.
The Bible speaks of good people going
to hell as well as the wicked w.

Religion and Business Will Nix

That religion and business will mix
and neither suffer thereby is shown by
the success that crowned the work of
Mr.. Richard Chaffey at Dobbin, W. Va,
while engaged in the saw mill business
and whose operations are now located
at Albright, w. Va, concerning which
the Kingwood Argus correspondent at
Albright wrote this paper the other
day:
Our town is still forging ahead.
Every available man is employed and
working everv day.
The Ruthbell Lumber Co., are employ
ing all the men who come here seeking
work and they are now preparing to
build a bridge over Cheat river to
connect with the spur which will give
them direct connection with the M. &
K. and thus be able to market their
finished product.
The officers of this lumber company
are all first class gentlemen and a help
to this community. just as they would
be to any other. They take an active
part in church and Sunday school work
and have religious services in the
large hall over their store. They have
an excellent store and carry a good line
of groceries which they sell at right
prices. They have the largest and best
saw mill that ever located in this
part of Preston. They will employ a
large number of men and this will make
an excellent market for farm products
and it would pay our farmers, in the
future, to truck more of their land
when they will have such good market
at home.
