to investigate Spintualism should not
be censured for their ceptisisn, but to
deny Spiritualism would be to deny the
Bible. That wonderful book is full of
messages from the other world and the
human family have been receiving them
all down through the ages. Who were
the prophets and prephetesses tut
mediums. In times past the angels of
the Lord made known God will through
such mediums. Read his word and see
the hundreds of messages received bv
those who were entranced, saw visions.
etc. 1t is no wonder that many receive
no messages, for the reason that they
refuse to open the door to the spirit
world, or in other words, to believe
there is such power, and place them
selves in position to know, when the
opportunity is presented.
Why has Spiritualism advanced no
farther? Because until recent wears.
mediums and those who claimed to be
able to communicate with the spirit
world, were classed with witches, wiz
ards, sorcerers and practicers of the
black arts. Many were sorely perse-
cuted and even put to death. Whv?
Jealousy and ignorance, the answer.
But why this ignorance of the subject?
There are scores OF publications on the
subject. The opportunity is at your
door to investigate and learn for your
self. Keep sober and attend a few
meetings held in the neighborhood; it
Will not cost you cent and then let US
hear from you again. Pray speak for
yourself; from your own experience, and
do not attempt to become a bureau of
information upon subject about which
YOU know so little.
Don't be ashamed to investigate. It
connot hurt you. Your Phariseeical
garments will not be soiled. There are
those numbered among the believers in
Spiritualism, who you might be glad to
associate with. Many of our leading
men in the last half century have been
greatly benefited by it. There are
millions today who believe not only in
this power, but that it is right, and of
great help, as well as great consolation
to have all doubt as to the immortality
of the soul removed. If you are not one
of these who, to be convinced against
their will, are of the same opinion STILL
there is hope for you.
Yours very truly,
SPIRITUALIsT.

TIE NEW PRESIDENT.

In few weeks Woodrow Wilson will
become President of the United States
and for the first time in twenty years
ou1 Democratic friends will be IN full
control of the executive and legislative
branches of the government. On all
sides there is the keenest interest
manifested over the policy to be pursued
by the new President. If his public
utterances are to be taken as an IN
dictatiOn of what we are to expect, it
can pretty safely be put down that he
will stir things up in his own party at
least. from the moment he arrives. He
is said to be a man of strong convictions
and with will of his own. These re-
ports are causing some of the old Demo-
cratic leaders much concern. He is
giving them no inkling of who will enter
his cabinet. Although a sturdy blue
stocking Presbyterian, college profess
scr and President, a governor and then
some more. he can get mad clear through
ana on occasion use cuSS word like DIN.
The first thing on the program when a
new President comes to town is the in
augural ceremonies. The committee of
prominent Westinghouse organized as
usual to carry through the usual pro-
gram, including a grand ball.
The new President promptly put his
foot down on the Ball! Next reception
was proposed but he didn't want recep-
ton unless he could receive all who came
and as thousands of the unterrifed will
be there, that was promptly disposed
of. Yes, sir, just put it down that
there will be something doing when Mr..
Wilson arrives at the National Capital.

be rulers over cities, Luke 19:17-1S.
The one over ten cities, the other over
five cities, Christ being their head or
King. Blessed are they that have
part in the first resurrection, on such the
second death hath no power" 1.-THE
rest of the dead lived not again until
the thousand years are finished" Rev.
POS.
This fieshy class will not be brought
to life or perfection until the thousand
years are up. that is Christly life here
referred to, "He that believes on me
has life, he that believes not on me has
not life everlasting"
During this day the earth will be
brought up to the state that Eden was,
the fir tree, the myrtle tree shall take
the place of the briers and thorn. lisa.
So, which we have today, Neither will
there be any more infants days nor old
man that hath not filled his days, for
the child shall die an hundred years
old. but that child being a sinner shall
be accursed. cut off, Jesus says they
shall be utterly DESTROYED from among
the people. So you see we that will not
obey the his gospel and commandments
will be cut off at the age of one hundred
years. and if we are too disobedient we
may be cut of sooner. Chose we today
whom We will serve for tomorrow as
that day may be too late.
At the end of the thousand years the
class here on earth will be brought up
to the meekness that Jesus was,-they
shall inherit the earth. The earth
abideth forever. 1t shall be filled with
the knowledge of the Lord as the waters
cover the sea. This is not being fulfilled
today, as men wax worse and worse,
deceiving and being deceived.
Let US pray Thy Kingdom come, Thy
will be done in earth as it is in Heaven.
When that Kingdom comes the whole
earth shall be filled with the glory of
the Lord.
Let US be wise and learn what there
is in store for US at Christ's coming,
and be not ashamed, He that is ashamed
of Me and MY words, of him shall the
Son of Man be ashamed when He shall
come in His own glory.

THE JACKSON ROAD BILL.

The road bill which Senator Jackson.
of Maryland, has introduced in the SEN
ate, may fairly be accredited as propos-
ing the:most practicable plan for the en-
listment of the national government in
road building that has so far been sug-
gested. That the national government
must assist in the movement for build
ing firm and enduring roads is prac-
tically settled conclusion. Popular SEN
timent in all of the states demands ma
tional aid in the costly road building en-
terprises upon which every state in the
Union has entered. What remains to be
done is the formulating of workable
plan, by which, without infringing too
much upon the state sovereignty idea,
and through dlstributive system of
