How Much for One Drink?
UTnited Press Day Service)

Omitted Press Day Service)
Texarkana, Ark, Jan. 19.-Up to
today no applications for saloon
license had been receiped by the city
fathers of Marked Tree, Ark. Said
city fathers do not expect that any
will be made, in view of the fact that
$4,000 is the fee asked by the city
council. Added to the high cost of
running a saloon at Marked Tree is
the sttute requiring a saloon to colse
at 8 O'Clock in the evening. Marked
Tree residents who might take an oc-
casional nip if a saloon should open
under these difficulties are wondering
how much they would have to pay
for one highball or a cocktail when
license costs $4,000, if such con-
coctions sell for Is cents or two for
two bits under $500 license.

Methodist Church.

This week and next are to be spent
in special efforts along evangelistic
lines, at the Methodist church, corner
of Sixth and Commercial streets. The
pastor, Rev. A. L. Baker, will do the
preaching and every member OF the
church will be his assistant. The
services will begin sharply at o'clock
and only last an hour, with a good
live song service. The meetings will
take place every night during the week
except Saturday.
Sunday was Methodist Attendance
Day and every seat was occupied at
the morning service, which was OF a
varied order, former pastors of the
church and pioneer members giving
short talks, and the pastor closing
with a short sermon. The song serv-
ice was beautiful, including an anthem
by the choir, and duet, "The Holy
City," by Mr.. and Mrs. Krotz.
Rev. James A. Stout, presiding ell
der of the Colored Methodist Episco-
pal church, spoke on the work he is
trying to do among the colored peo-
pie of the community; of the progress
that is being made toward building a
church, and the. need of assistance
in raising money for the house OF wor-
ship. At the close of his remarks
Rev. Stout sang southern melody,
which was cheered to the echo.
Rev. O. L. Snow, the first pastor of
the Methodist church in Ell Centre,
spoke in an interesting manner on the
beginning of the church here seven
years ago. He said that services were
held in the front of the present par
sonage. The church started out with
a membership of twelve and has shown
the same remarkable growth as the
city, reaching a total of 225 members
at the present time. He compared
what had been accomplished during
the last conference year and the past
three months of the new one. He
said that in the 1928 years fifty
members had joined the church, which
was a good record, but that during
the first three months of this year
the same number had come into the
fold.

members of the church here, spoke

Christian Church.


Education Day was observed in
Christian churches throughout the
nation Sunday. At the State Street
Christian church Rev. w. G. Conley
took as his subject "Our Boys and
Girls in College" for the morning
service.
The pastor brought out the fact
that the people of Ell Centro were
greatly interested in education and
had made splendid preparations for
the young of the city in providing
excellent school buildings and engag-
ing only the best of instructors. He
said that his highest ambition was to
give his own children thorough edu-
cation, as the only one who can real
ly enjoy life and take his or her part
in the world is the educated man or
woman.
In speaking of the worth of educa-
ton, Dr. Conley said:
their names in the book styled Who's
Who,' the ones who have made good
in life, have had college training. Edu-
cation, to be its highest, needs to be
Christian.
"In the middle of the last century
the modern system of schools was be-
gun, reaching from the primary
grades to the state universities. At
that time sectarianism was rife in the
Christian world and in order to BAN
ish that evil the founders Of our splen-
did school systems went to an eX-
treme and banished Christ and the BIZ
ble."
In conclusion, the pastor spoke OF
the little time given to Bible study
by the students in schools. "A presl-
dent of one of our great state uni
yersities," he said, "says that a boy
could pass through almost any OF our
state universities and know as little
about the Bible and the great prln-
ciples of Christ as if he had been
born in an unchristian land. The time
has come for a reformation in our
schools and the splendid literature and
noble ideas of the Bible shall have
a place in the culture of our young
people,"
The theme for the evening service
was "a Lesson From the Great Earth
quake" The text of the sermon was:
"We expect a new heaven and a new
earth wherein dwelleth righteousness" ."
Rev. Conley drew word picture of
the great Sakura disaster. The les
son that he drew was that the world
is fragile and it was not meant that
we should think it was permanent and
would endure. ain the early days of
Christ" he said, "there was constant
reminder that the present world would
be destroyed and out of that new
heaven and earth would be construct
ed.
"At that time the world was under
the dominion of sin and men like Ii
berius and Nero, on the thrones in
the great Roman empire, even among
the chosen people, were controlling
the destinies of the nation. The great
reformers expected that this would
all be changed and new world would
be created where righteousness would
take it's place"
The pastor brought forth facts to
show how the world is being made new
in righteousness and said that the
world now was better than when Pc
ter lived; that it was long distance

the palace of the Caesars to the White

SANITY renewed in resemblance to
him who made it,
The pastor said shat in this new
lie the distinction between Gree< and
Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised,
barbarian and civilian, slave and free
man, are impossible. Christ is all in
all.
At the evening service DIR. Baker
took as his subject "Twice-Born Men,"
from the saying of Jesus to Nico-
demus: aye must be born again."
Aside from the physical birth, the
pastor said, there come times in mems
lives when it is necessary that a new
birth take place within them, which
transforms their moral nature and
gives them the mastery over them
selves and over sinful habits. Many
men have struggled to get away from
load of sin and shame and have only
been able to win out by believing in
Christ.
"The Great Compact" was the sub
ject of Evangelist Eugene Browns
discourse at the Masonic building last
night.
From Ephesians i:3-4 and iii:11 he
drew the thought that before the
world, back in eternity, the plan for
this earth was a matter of counsel
between the Divine Father and Son.
1t was "chosen" that the planet would
be peopled by beings "holy and with
out blame before him." and all sub
ject to the great law Of love. This
was guaranteed in Christ, and con-
stituted the everlasting covenant, as
it provided for an eternal race. 1t
knew no failure. Any deficiency would
be borne by Christ, even to the ex-
tent of giving his life. The standard
of right was Gods character, the Ten
Commandments, the law of love.
The fall of Adam was promptly met
by a provision of the everlasting cove
nant, called the everlasting gospel,
able to save out of the wreck an ever
lasting holy people to fulfill Gods
plan. After the flood, God renewed
the everlasting covenant with Noah.
At the cross it was made of force by
the blood of the everlasting covenant.
This blood sealed the terms of the
covenant. The law had been lived out
in the life of Christ. 81 delight to do
thy will; yea, thy law is within my
heart" Henceforth it stood as rati-
fed.
From that time there could be no
dispute about raising the dead, as in
the case of the body of Moses, for the
price had been paid. All under the
true covenant have Gods law in the
heart as did Christ. In Isaiah xMv:5
the world is pronounced guilty of
breaking the everlasting covenant and
must give place to the new earth. In
Revelation xiv:6-7 the everlasting gos-
pei calls out the last remnant, and
Christ then comes and resurrects all
who have that law of love in their
character to an everlasting reward.
