Upton MANS PATRIOTISM.
Too Old to 90 to War He Offers Fine
Horse.

Upton, June 26.-Mr. T. A. Spear
"a wealthy retired farmer and horse
fancier, just before the breaking out
of the Spanish-American war had
been reading of the atrocities COM
mitted in Cuba. One morning he
came down town, called at the law
office of Colonel John T. Moffit. He
told the colonel that he was too old
to go to war, but he wanted to help,
and that he would make him a pres
ent of handsome cavalry horse. At
that time Colonel Mofflt was connect
ed with the Iowa National guard. In
a few days the call came. Mr.. Spear
and his son, while the soldier boys
were parting at the train, were busy
loading into the baggage car the
handsome "Dollie Spear" She was
equipped with halter, bride, blanket
curry comb, brush, water bucket and
a good supply of feed. 1t will be re-
called how proud the whole Fiftieth
Iowa was of Colonel Motifs mount.
She was the best looking horse in
the Seventh army corps.
Monday morning Mr.. Spear, after
reading the morning papers with a
general call of the national guard,
sought out Judge JOHN T. Moffit and
again kindly offered to purchase Just
as good a mount as Dollie Spear and
present to the judge if it became nee
essary for him to join the colors.
Judge MofIit told him he had COM
pleted fifteen years service with the
Iowa National guard, filling every po-
sition from private to lieutenant col
onel and had been honorably dis
charged some years ago.
Mr.. Spear is loyal to the core and
has no time for bandit raiders.

Selling "Wet Goods"

A good story is being told on some
of the residents of the west end of
the county who like little nip" oc-
casionally. Not long ago well garb-
ed stranger appeared at Inwood and
secured conveyance to take him in
to the country where he interviewed
number of people who might be
possible customers. 1t is said that he
secured a goodly number of orders,
which were paid for in advance, the
alleged agent telling the buyers to
be very quiet about it as such sales
were in violation of law, and that he
might be pinched if it became known.
The customers kept still for while,
but finally began to make inquiries
guardedly of one another, and it f.
nally developed that no one knew
what house the fellow was alleged
to be travelling for, and as none of
the wet goods" have shown up so
far, they rather figure they have
been "bilked." 1t is said the fellow
secured between $3.50 and $500

Riceyille Man Suicides.

Rufus Seavy OF Riceville, retired
farmer about fifty-five years of age,
committed suicide by hanging him
self early Wednesday morning. No
cause for his act is known, but it is
generally attributed to dependency

but that He should become the great
King to deliver and uplift the world
from their helpless, degraded condi-
ton, and bring them back to the per-
lection in which Adam was created.
This will be done under the Messiah
ic Kingdom, which will soon be es-
tablshed on earth. Messiah is to take
His great power and reign for n
thousand years, to accomplish this
purpose.
Blessings of the "Iron Rod"
Messiah's Government will be
rule of the iron rod-infleXible, un-
bending, making no compromise with
sin. All will be compelled to obey
This form of government will be alb
solutely necessary until rebellious
man shall have learned the desirable
ness of righteousness. In their sin
full, selfish condition men have had
too much liberty. Might and oppres-
sion have crushed the weak and help
less. Mans inhumanity to man has
made countless millions mourn
Psalm 2:9: Revelation 2:27; 10: 10.
But while ruling with an iron rod,
the great King will also be the
worlds merciful High Priest. All nee
essary allowance will be made for in
herited and cultivated weaknesses.
knowledge, enlightenment and as
distance up the Highway of Holiness
Isaiah 1878, 81 will be given to all.
AS in the Jewish type the priests
brought the people blessings through
the Atonement Day sacrifices, so the
great High Priest, Christ Jesus, and
the under priests, the Church, Will
bless the world, as the result of the
sacrifices offered for the world dur
ing this antitypical Atonement Day
the Gospel Age.
This Royal Priesthood will be the
future healeTs of the world. They will
heal the diseaseS-mental, moral and
physical-of every one who will ac-
cept the gracious terms and provi-
sions then offered. Jesus death as
the Ransom price for Adam and az
who died in him was necessary in or
der to lift the death penalty resting
upon the race. Thus far the merit of
Jesus death has been available only
for His Church.
For two reasons this Purchase
price has not yet been applied for
the world; G)ln His infinite Wis
dom, God purposed to give an object
lesson through the permission of sor-
row, pain and death for six thousand
years as the result of mans fall, in
order that all His intelligent crea-
lures might learn thoroughly the ma
ture and the effects of sin in all its
hideousness. CD God purposed first
to impute Christ's merit to the Church
called to be our Lords associates in
the work of the worlds uplift. AS
soon as the Church shall have been
glorified with their Lord, the merit
of Christ's death will be applied for
all mankind; and the Restitution
work will begin-Jeremiah 81:
'31-34; Acts 3:19-23; Revelation 21:
Is.

God has great love for all the wSrld:
that He has permitted sin and death
to continue fer six thousand years in
order to teach all His intelligent crea-
lures a most important lesson; that
the establishment of the long-prom-
ised Kingdom Of Heaven is at hand,
for which we pray, THY Kingdom
come; and that under Messiah's
Denefcient rule every human being
who has ever lived shall have fullest
opportunity to return to God and to
the ways Of righteousness-the eX-
ception being those who have already
had that opportunity under the Cos
pei Call; and that if, after this mani
festatiOn of Divine Love, any still
prefer the ways of sin, they shall be
destroyed from amongst the peo-
pie"
God SO Loved the World"
1t is wonderful thought that our
great Creator, infinite in power and
majesty, before whom the mightiesC
cherubim and seraphim bow in 'nuna-
BILE alteration, should condescend to
pay any attention to creatures so
small as we, sinners by nature and
intersections, the Pastor began. But
our Lord Jesus Himself assures us
thai God 50 loved the world that He
gave His Only Begotten Son, that
whatsoever believeth in Him might not
perish, but have everlasting life"
(John 3:16.) 1t is very certain that
Gods love for fallen men is not love
of pity compassion, benevolence; for
there is little in their condition of
rebellion and alienation from their
Maker that is worthy of love. But
God has pity for mankind in their
fallen condition, and has provided
for their recovery from the fall,
through the death Of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
This Divine arrangement for mans
recovery provided not only that
Gods Son should die for humanity,

made it necessary for him to change his
occupation and take more hours out 10
