Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the Righteous. ~ John 81.
Impressively the Pastor reminded us
that humanity is so constituted as to
have longing for things infinite-a
desire for a God and for superhuman
care and guidance. especially in life's
difficulties. He declared that, phreno-
logically. veneration and spirituality
are located in the crown Of the head.

the guidance of the Divine Word.
Christians realize that the one great
object of worship is Jehovah God.
through His Son. our Lord Jesus Christ
The Pastor asserted. backed by the
Scriptural statement. that Satan. mans
great foe. Gods great enemy, not yet
bound. has in various ways attempted
to mislead us. to separate us from
God and from the Bible. and proper
tionately to darken our understandings
with human traditions. creeds. super

belling. Gods time has come for the

his prisoners. God is answering the
prayers of His faithful people.

and advising everyone to get a piece

number Of our prominent citizens,
including William Edgar, George
Beaver, Postmaster Bashor, H. l.
Sheldon, etc, arose at an uDholy hour
in the dim morning and got ready to
spot old "Sol" when he was getting
his face washed by the moon. After
breakfast 1t dawned upon them that
the only eclipse billed for that "day
and date" as theatrical people are
wont to say. was one OF the moon.
and they charged down upon the New
Era Office In body to demand, Who
wrote that piece about the eclipse?'

Rocky Ford to attepd the meeting Of
representatives Of tine different bands
In the valley to organize for the
Arkansas Valley band which is to
represent this section OF the state at
the big Knights Templar conclave In

band and will beyond doubt furnish
the best music heard In the capital
city during the meeting OF the
Knights. The report 10 last weeks

adopted u uniform OF dark blue with
black braid trimming and gilt caps
was a little premature. as that action
was taken on the initiative Of certain
bandsmen of La Junta who were not
authorized in any manner tu speak
for the organization rs a whole. Bids
for uniforms ran az low as 90 per suit.
