SOUL MORE VALU ABLE
THAN WORLD ITSELF
Rev. DR.. Pierce Says 1t is All a Man
Has to Lose-Now is Time to
Listen to Call of God.

Taking for his text the searching
question Of the Saviour, What shall
it profit a man if he shall gain the
whole world and lose his own soul, -
Dr. Pierce gave fOrccful address in
the Baptist church last evening, and
with burning words he drove the ques
tion home to every heart. He said
that the soul is all that n man really
owns, and it is all that he really has
TO lose. Although many lives are spent
in the accumulation of money, in the
winning of friends, in the quest for
health. all these things must 20, while
the soul abides throughout eternity.
The Lord invitation is: "Give me
thine heart, - and in return he
bestows upon us blessings, peace and
happiness. Many say: II will be a
Christian some day, but not now, -
forgetting that the morrow may never
como, that the present opportunity
may be the last God is calling
now. Jesus says: Behold, | stand at
the door and knock
The life that has no aim or purpose
is life of folly, which DIR. Pierce
likened to a man entering a railroad
station and asking for Il ticket, but
not knowing where he wished to go.
Such man would be called a fool, and
yet multitudes are doing precisely the
same thing with regard to their souls,
which must live forever.
In Gcd s sight the soul is more val
liable than the world itself DR.. Pierce
illustrated this truth in a striking man
ner, by drawing of balancing scales
in one side OF which was the word
Soul, while on the other side was
large weight which he termed pleas
ure, . second weight called wealth and
third called fame. All of these were
insufficient to balance the soul. Then
above all the other weights, he sketch
ed the world, but still the combine,
weight was not enough to balance thu
soul.
He said that the desire in one :
heart to be better, to live right life
is God s voice speaking to that soul
Now is the time to listen to that voice
for it is easier to yield now than i
ever will be again. The older we grow
unless our walk is with God, the fan
ther away from him we go, and just $
much the harder it will be to turn t
him. God will keep us from stumbling
and give up peace and JOY if we pu
our hand in His. DIR. Pierce made
strong plea at the close, urging hi
hearers to decide for Christ withou
delay.

AsQUITH's EXPLANATION.
officers Living in Ulster Were Given
Chance to Withdraw.

LONDON, April l. = The first act
of Premier Asquith in his new capacity
of secretary of state for war was clear
ed up by the mystery surrounding the
instructions given by the war Office to
Gen. Sir Arthur Paget, commander-in-
chief in Ireland.
Gen. Paget was summoned to London
to give a personal account of orders
received and issued, and as a result of
the conference Sir Reginald McKenna,
home secretary, was able to inform the
House of Commons today, that the only
question Gen. Paget put or intended to
put, to the commanding officers in Ire
land, was whether they were ready tc
place duty before every other consid
Grafton.
Gen. Paget, he said, informed the
general officers of the promise given BY
the secretary of state for war to the
officers whose homes are in Ulster, tC
permit them to withdraw Temporarily
from their regiments in the event OF
operations becoming necessary in vi
ster and requested the general officers
to find ont Immediately on the number
of officers who would withdraw on thi:
account.

Frank S. Bigwood, 16, Shot
Through the Head in His
Home Last Night
SERVED AS A PAGE
IN THE LEGISLATURE
Exactly What Happened Is Not Known,
But 1t Is Believed He Was Examin-
ing Rifle When 1t Was Accidentally
Discharged

WlNOOSKI, April l. - In a man
ner which can probably never be ex-
planned Frank s. Bigwood, IS, son of
Mr.. and Mrs Frank Bigwood. shot and
instantly killed himself with a 22-cali-
Der rifle in his room at the home of
his parents, No. Is Leclair street, short
ly after 6 clock last evening The
young han was alone and it is believed
that the affair was purely accidental.
The bullet entered the left temple and
passed completely through the head,
coming out above the right eye.
| The boy in company with his older
brother Burke, had recently cleaned
| the rife, which belonged to the older
| boy. Shortly after finishing his sup
per, Frank Bigwood went upstairs to
his room and a few minutes later the
| family was startled by the report OF
the rifle. Rushing upstairs the boy 5
parents found the young man dead.
The only theory advanced is that
the boy was examining the rifle and
Inserted cartridge in the weapon
/ simply to see if the rife was in work
ing order.
The young man, who was an excep
tionally bright and manly fellow, wa:
a page in the last legislature, his faith
er being senator from Chittender
county. He was a freshman in the
Winooski high school.
During the Legislature he made ;
wide circle of acquaintances and wa
prominent in all Of the activities of the
pages during their hours of relaxation
He distinguished himself at the noel
session of the House Of Representative
by acting as senator from his hom'
county.
Besides his parents he leaves tw'
brothers, Burke and Robert, and thre,
sisters, Ella, Elizabeth and Marion.
