Like a Lost Sheep.

II. The Home Coming, w. 1924.
The first step was for the son to stop
and really think. That is where sal
walton always begins-in thinking. He
knew he was lost, g. g., out Of adjust
ment, in the wrong place, out of his
element and like the lost sheep,
ready to die" He saw his condi-
ton, money gone, friends gone, hogs
for companions, no food for his sus-
tenance. He saw his value. He was
more important than the servants Of
his fathers home. He saw his faith
er's love, already manifested in what
had been given him and we fain would
believe that when he left home he
had the fathers urgent plea to re-
turn. He saw way to escape from
his present position. All of this after
he came to himself" Before that,
impenitent, he was morally insane,
now he has reasoned, lisa. 1918. With
his reasoning also came the deter
mination to make full confession.

fess his need but the fact that he had
sinned. This is the only way for
sinner to come to God, Ps. 32:3-5;
l John 1:9; Luke 1S:11-14. He did
not stop. with resolving but The arose

Citation was given before he even had
a chance to confess. In his confes-
sion his first thought is that he had
sinned against God and then against
his earthly father. The father had
not once forgotten him; he had COM
passion" even though the son was un-
merciful to himself and to all Of his
loved ones. The father kissed him
before he was washed or otherwise
made presentable.
Neither of the sons are perfect but
he who uttered the parable was him
self the true son of the father. He
never departed from his father,
wasted his fathers substance, nor
brought discredit upon his name.
Jesus was in full sympathy with his
fathers heart for he welcomed the
wandering publicans and sinners to
himself, took the journey into the far
country to find the wanderers and to
bring them home. Christ's mission
was to bring many sons to glory"
(Heb. 2:10), which means restoring
the wanderer and fulfilling in him the
perfectness Of Bonship.

HENDRICKS

From che Pioneer:
{. T. Mortenson, the electric light

his son Elmer, spent a part of Saturday
in Hendricks. They were here for
the purpose OF taking a birds-eye view
of the local electric light system with
the idea of making further negotia-
ions Ter purchasing the same. Should
Mr.. Mortenson buy the plant he would
figure on extending the length of the
service gradually and the time would
not be far distant when the town
would have a run of twenty-four hours.
Mr.. Mortenson disposed of his sys-

three years old last April. He was
born in Illinois, moved from there to

From the Leader:
NJ. L. Palmer and son closed a deal
Tuesday morning whereby they dis
posed of their drug stock and other
lines of business to A. II. Gazely and
practically at the same time the build

for California On the special car that
leaves White on the morning Of Oc-
tober 9Th. The firm of NJ. L.. Palmer
& Son was one of the Oldest in White,
having been in continuous business
for almost twenty-five years. 1t is
needless to say that they will be miss
ed by the public as the popularity Of
their store bears ample evidence to
this fact. BY absolute honesty and
courteous treatment they have held
steady customers throughout the en-
tire time of their business career. One

DR.. +. f. Torwick returned home
Friday morning from his trip to Nor
way and he naturally is very glad to
get back home again, and all his
fr ends were mighty glad to see him.
The doctor says that things are very
unsettled in all the countries of Eu-
a worry all the time for fear that
something may arise that will forfeit
their neutrality. The harbors are
mined and all the forts are manned
and the country is far from being on
a peace footing. On the way home
it was necessary for his boat to pass
to the n~orthward of the Shetland Is
lands and there is great danger of
hidden contact mines all over the
North sea. He says his boat was held
up by the British on the way home
and the papers and passenger list ex-
amined, but there was no great delay
as passenger list and cargo were found
to be all right. Customs have chang
greatly since the doctor left the old
home and he says that he would
hardly realize hat he was in the old
homeland again. He found his mother
well, but he cut his visit short as
he felt he must return home as soon
as possible.

poets to revoiutionize many Of the ac-

Apparatus designed in accordance

small dimensions, is capable of trans
forming energy of tens and hundreds
OF thousands horsepower" said Mr..
Tesla.
THE lighting of the ocean Is only
one of the less important results to be
achieved by the use of this Invention.
1 have planned many OF the details OF
plant which might be erected at the
Azores, and which would be amply
sufficient to illuminate the entire ocean,
SO that such disaster as that of the
Titantic would not be repeated. The
light would be soft and OF very small
intensity. but quite adequate to the
purpose.

plant could be provided for Illuminating

night to rob an attack by Zeppelins of
Its principal terrors. have calcu-
lated that plant Of $4,000 horse
power would be required for the
Azores, but much less power would do
for the London application.
"one Of the even more valuable uses
to which this invention can be put is
the transmission of the human voice
or any kind of picture or Image from
one point of the globe to the other, ir-
respective of distance. Lighting of iso-
lated and inaccessible places on land
or sea can be effected by this new
means In cheap and satisfactory man
ner.
Tho employment of apparatus In
volving the same principles will, am
satisfied, lead to undreamed-of achieve
ments. For example 1t would be the
power of man to prccipitate rain, to
draw unlimited quantities OF water
from the ocean. Lakes and rivers will
be created In this manner, and the
whole globe transformed, all the work
being performed by the sun, men sipp-
ly controlling the process.
Perhaps the greatest results will be
in the destruction OF the atom and the
release of it's immense energy. The
discovery will make the gun obsolete.
The battles Of the future will be
fought with electric waves. The de-
structive power under control will be
SO prodigious that on this account alone
war will become an impossibility.'

In the Senate.
Administration leaders and the Presi-
dent are understood to oppose the reso-
luton, arguing that all facts relating
to the condition of the army and navy
are known OF are available. Appro-
priations for the army and navy will
further open debate on the military
situation. Both the House Military and
Naval Committees have been Mt work
on supply bills, and will continue daily
sessions.
In the Naval Committee the battle
ship construction program. Is tho chief
subject. Secretary Daniels Will appear
before the committee during the week
to discuss the building program and
naval requirements. Champions OF in
creased naval construction are certain
to urge three or four-battleship pro-

Rain Makes Another
Opportunity

Owing to the rain Saturday,
very few came for the -78d
Ladies' Waists, SO there Is still
time to secure one Of these su-
preme bargains before the re-
mainder of the 800 manufac-
turers' samples are sold. fus
Last Saturday one lady, who
braved the rain to be present iat
this great bargain sale, selected
of the prettiest patterns, re-
marking that she had been In
the dressmaking business for a
number of years, and was UNI
able to figure out how such
great values could BIO offered at
79c. She is positive that waists
of the same intrinsic value
would cost from $1.25 to $500
at regular sale. t!!St
There are about 100 OF
these Waists remaining unsold,
and will be o.ered Monday at
the ridicously low price of 79c.
We have also few sample
Waists at soc. but these are not
as good quality as those at
79c. However, they are good
value. Remember the time,
