Gold and Diamonds are
 Not Riches---Rev. Galloway

The theme taken for discussion at the Methodist church at the morning hour services last Sun day by Rev. Galloway was How to Get Rich" A synopsis of the sermon as delivered by the pas tor follows:
 Text Proverbs 1856, Tn the name of the righteous is much treasure, but in the revenue of the wicked is trouble"
 How to get rich would sug- gest that you are not rich, but may become so if you follow the process. Gods plans follow the process, but wickedness is ire gular and independable. All that God made is good and was given to man. Obey God like Abraham and be rich, blunder and lose all, like Lot. In the text you might think first of the house, but the house is helpless, it may be at one time the abode of the righteous and at another the abode of the wicked. It is first of all the Man. That in- heritance and environment mean much to a man is admitted, but that it means all is strongly denied. Then we must deal with mans part and not with his environment. Let us give the right direction and processes to our lives. Treasures are things in store for future use- fitness and happiness. They are what makes one rich. God is the richest one in the uni verse, and Heaven is the richest and finest place 1 ever read about. Why not the children of so rich a Father be themselves rich? The word, rich. comes from the Gothic word, reicks and is akin to the Latin, rex, meaning king. ruler. True riches gives leadership.
 Now riches may consist in lands, stocks, bonds, gold and silver, talent, but must always be connected with true character. The land. the stocks, may all be taken away and the original owner yet rich. Washington lost his property during the rev. olution, but he was no pauper ever. R. E. Lee lost all in the Civil war, but he was rich in character. Not every one who has quite a lot in his name is rich. Many a boy has had left quite a lot of property, but the boy was seen lost in stuff or else the boy and the stuff is soon parted. He never did really possess it. The same may be true of a goodly parentage or extra talent. He never did really possess it. The boy may or may not make assets of them, True riches is the possession of orthy treasures held in store for a noble purpose. The treasures alone are not riches. The gold and dia- monds in the bottom of the sea are not riches.
 Revenue is the returns from possession or from services ren- dered, a rightful or legal income. The revenue of the wicked is always full of trouble. The con- vict is receiving his. The damned in hell are receiving theirs. The righteous man is a right man. Gods law is His supreme rule. for it is the first and the last law. He is in har- mony with God and Gods laws.

Six Rigs Working In
 Crawford Gas Field
Big Strike is Expected Momen- tarily---Number of Rigs to be Doubled Within Few Weeks Is Report.

The past week with its more favorable weather. has brought renewed activity and interest in the Crawford gas and oil fields and the next few weeks will no doubt record at least three, and possibly four big gas, if not oil producing wells. There are now six rigs at work, three more being put up, or in transit to this field and the number of active rigs will be doubled with in two weeks if nothing pre- vents the installation.
 The Pennok Company is de- veloping the Pittock farm near Alma and have reached a depth of HOO feet, the log of this well, differing but little from those in all the other wells drilled to that depth.
 The Wildcat company will be among the next to begin opera tion in Crawford field. Their first drill rig passed Van Buren this week and was hauled to the 40-acre farm of J. B. Cox in sec tion %, township 9, range 30. This is a much coveted tract and was originally leased to the Clear Creek company when owned by w, F. Keller. After the land was sold to Cox, the Wildcat company secured lease from the latter and the Clear Creek company has enjoined the Wild cat company from developing their lease.
 The Clear Creek company's S No 2 we'll has reached a depth of 1900 feet and has developed a flow of nearly one million feet per day. The same volume of gas was encountered in their first we'll at the same depth and the gas strike in No. 2 was ex- pected. The work of spudding in their we'll No. 3 on Arbuckle island has been accomplished and splendid progress is being made there. The company has purchased another rig that will reach this field soon.
 The Commonwealth company is sinking a we'll on the John B. Brown farm and has reached a depth of 1900 feet, and so far the log of this we'll corresponds closely with the logs from Clear Creek wells Nos. 1 and ?.
 The Dora Company's we'll No. l is heinz sunk on the Dr. Bond farm on Lees creek and has reached a depth of 400 feet and is making satisfactory progress. This is the pioneer we'll in that field since work was abandoned by local company several years ago. when gas was encountered at a depth of 800 feet in three wells drilled in that vicinity. This well is being drilled to a depth of 800 feet with a view of developing sufficient gas to SUD- ply the Van Buren Water con- pany's pumping plant. " an Buren Press-Argus.

may possess It all JO HIS Joy anu comfort. But he must remem- Der all the time that he is only a steward. But you ask how a good man may fill his house full of treasures. Why do the nor mai thing? It is not abnormal to be a beggar. Our Lord never begged. Money is a good thing. It is the medium of exchange. To possess money means to pos sess the supplies of life. They come to us thru the sweat of our brow. No sweat. no sweet. Work and thou shalt have. :" It is poor economy to be a scrub. " What is a beggar worth? Nothing. A man living from hand to mouth is not cap- able of being his best. Then be industrious and make something. You have no right to something for nothing. Earn it and be a man.
 Debt is a curse that should be avoided. Some one has said, Better go to bed hungry than go to bed in debt, and the first step in debt is like the first step in falsehood. - He who goes borrowing, goes sorrowing. You cannot be man and always be in debt. Franklin said, An empty bag cannot stand up- right" " Stay out of debt.
 What some consider little irregularities or wrongs, keep many men poor. The cigarett e has cost many men thousands and thousands of dollars and a character. A smooty story, an oath, untidy dressing, quitting school too soon, a falsehood, or a deception, a little dishonest act. failing to be polite, borrowing and not returning, railroading on the job, etc., have cost thou sands and thousands of dollars, and have been the means of losing thousands and thousands of characters, There is no little deed. Every right is great and every wrong IS sin.
 You are building, if true, and unseen mansion. in that you are storing your treasures. Lay not up treasures on earth where moth and rust doth consume, but lay up treasures in Heaven, where moth and rust doth not consume. Silently the timbers go up. Beautifully the painting is done. Carefully the furniture is put in place. The barns and smokehouse are filled. The pantry is laden. Then the har- vest comes. The day of rejoic- ing is at hand. Come, ye rich, in the good and lasting things. But what about the revenues of the wicked? They are full of trouble. Disappointments. sor- rows. and death. The unfaith- full parents have trouble with their children. The unfaithful child is turned out in sorrow with not friend. The deceiver is forsaken. The dishonest clerk has lost his job. The dissipated has lost his health. The good name is gone and death will be sweet. Death comes and he lands in hell, there forever and forever receiving his revenue. Righteousness will bring true riches. Wickedness will bring harassing revenues.
 Friend. run for the good treasures. Avoid the revenue | of wickedness.'
