 Treasury.

Borough Treasurer Wesley Wilson said Tuesday that his annual report will show that the debt has not been increased during the year now com ing to a close and that a slight sur
 plus will be indicated. This satisfae- tory showing has been made possible by reason of the fact that the tax rate was increased by one mill at the last annual town meeting. Treasurer Will son believes that the rate should be continued through the coming year.

To Punish Escapes.
to Independent.

Opeclal 10 ln0ependent.
 Little Rock, July 12.-The legislature several sessions ago passed an act by which an es- cape from the State penitentia- ry or Reform School, became a crime, and the escaping convict can be tried and convicted for it, the same as other crimes, with a punishment from a few months up into years. Only once or twice, when the action of the escape was especially aggravat- ing, has the law been enforced. Now the Board of Penitentiary Commissioners intend to bring the old law from its hiding place and make use of it.
 The Commission is of the opInIoh tnaC the certainty that a convict who escapes will be given an additional sentence, if caught, will do much in prevent ing convicts from making a break. As it is now, the short term man who escapes, loses on- ly the good time," or a month or so he would have secured off for good behavior. A prosecu- tion for escaping, would double his sentence, at least, and few men would make an attempt un- der such conditions as these.

into the Intermediate State, where we grow either in Holi- ness, or continue Unrepentant and therefore draw on more and more toward the Second Death.
 Finally, it is thoroughly Un- ScripturaI to think that in Chap ter Two of our existence, we are asleep and unconscious for aeOns of Time, since the case of Sam uel, Moses and Our Lord Him. self prove the opposite of this, because we know they were cap- able of Speaking and Thinking and therefore must have been Living Beings.
 These three Samuel, Moses and Our Lord were as Human as you and I are, and as one touch of Human Nature makes all the world kin, much, then doth it behoove us to do all we can to put down self and it's un- lawful desires, that we may more efectually serve God here and by His help and mercy con- tinue to look forward to the Fi- nal ConsumatiOn, chanting faith fully and prayerfully.

~OIJR LIFE AFTER DEATH
 {Continued from page one.)

two things, then, to explain. First, if those to whom Our Lord preached were the ire frievably Lost" why should He have gone to plead with them? Secondly, if Paradise is the same as Heaven, why should Our Lord have spent one moment preach ing to them, as St. Peters Epls- tie tells us Our Divine Master did? In very truth these words Of St. Peters Epistle lead us to draw another inference, which is this: If Our Lord went to preach to the spirits in prison,
 does it not show that the Para disc or the Intermediate Worlds not a Period of UncOnsciousness, but one in which men have their minds and can be reasoned with? Beyond all question it does. However, before we go any further, let us answer the question, Do good men godirect 10 Heaven as soon as Death comes?" That they do Not, l beg you to recall again Our Lords words on the cross, "To- day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise" We know then, from Our Lords own lips that He, the Christ, went to Paradise, or what the Apostle calls "the place of Departed spirits" In other words, there is an Intermediate State into which we enter when Death comes. There is a wide spread idea among Christian people, due to careless reading and erroneous teaching, which makes them think that Heaven or Hell is entered at the moment of Death. However, this is not so, as will be seen in a moment, when we bear in mind that such an immediate and "at once" en- trance would absolutely do away with Our Lords teaching about His Coming to judge"the Quick and the Dead" Why should Our Lord tell us so much about that Last, Great Day, if there was mot to be such a Day? If men at Death go at once to Heaven or He'll, would it not do away with the necessity of Day of judg- ment?
 Again here is another Fact that can not be disregardec
 ]S this. Did not Our Lord Him. self go into the Place of Depart ed Spirits during those three days His body lay in the grave? The words of an inspired Apostle tells us he did. Truly, if Any One would be sure to go straight to Heaven, when Death had come, would not the worst inf del admit that Our Divine Mas ter would have been permitted to do so? And yet He did not do so, and so we cannot but Know that No one ever will,but that we all pass into the Inter- mediate State, Paradise, there to wait the Final Judgment. The Bible, then teaches every care ful student that there is in the Intermediate Life beyond the grave, a vivid, conscious life; that all men go there when they dpart this life, No man has ever yet gone to Heaven. No man has ever yet been judged, The Bible teaches that All who Ahave ever left this Earth life are yft waiting from King Solomon to King Edward; from St.Paul to the poorest soul who may have died in Newport last night. Yes, the Bible teaches us the faithful who have died in Christ are hap py and blest; that they depart to be with Christ in the beauti- ful Training School, "The Para disc" or "Park of God" as the
Newport daily independent., 1913-07-12

not Heaven, but it is the Outer Court of Heaven. In short, none of the Dead ever enter Heaven at the moment of Death, for even Our Lord Christ Himself did not do so.
 Mark you, it was after His Resurrection that the Master said to the Magdalen, Touch Me not, for I have not yet as- cended to My Father"
 The next question that arises, is, What is the Condition of those woh have left this Earth life and begun Chapter Two of their Existence?
 We have already seen, 1t is not an unconscious and sleeping Existence. But now let US go oil to see that it is a State in which we live and think and speak.
 There are at least three such instances in Holy Scripture. The first is that of Samuel. He had beendead four years and yet at the bidding of the witch of En- dor, he returned to Earth from among the throng of moving Spirits and spoke with Saul, who had ordered that witch to call up Samuel. What is more, Saul in the flesh, recognized Samuel in the Spirit and was greatly trou- bled, too, when he was told what would happen to him, Saul, on the morrow.
 The next instance is that of Moses. He came back of his own accord, although he had been dead for hundreds of years. Nevertheless, this same Moses, the Law-giver, appeared to our Lord and his Apostles on the Mount of Transfiguration and talked with them. Besides this, the Apostle Peter recognized Moses and was eager to make g tabernacle for him,
 The third instance which proves that we are to be Living, Think ing and Speaking Beings in the lntermediate World is the case of Our Lord Himself. He cer- tainly was dead and His torn and wounded Body was laid in g Tomb for three days. Above and beyond this, St. Peter tells us what Our Lord did during those three days that His Body was in the grave, which were nothing less than days of activity. Aye, is it not written that Our Lord went and preached to the spir- its in prison?" How could He preach and why would He do SO, unless those Spirits in the Inter- mediate World were Real, Liv- ing, Thinking Beings?
 To sum up, then, what has been said and what we need to remember. The first thing is the Church has not told us that the Son of God lived and died for us that We might know something, but that we appro- prlate those facts in such a way that we may Do and Become something. In fine, we must Be something, so that God can Do something with us.
 The next thing we need to re- member is, that Our Lord did Not descend into the Place of Final Punishment to preach. but into the Place of Departed Spir- it's.
 Next, we are to bear it we'll in mind that Paradise" does not mean Heaven" for no one of the millions, who have died have yet entered Heaven, except the Son of God Himself; that even He. at His Death, entered Para disc and not Heaven. for He told the Magdalen the very Day of .
