Rev. Arthur Varley and Choir from TaftviIIe Congregational Church at SheItering Arms - L. E. Harris Truck PIunges Over Embankment- Social at Scotland Road Hall.

The service at the Sleltering Arms Sunday afternoon was in charge of Rev. Arthur Varley of the Taftville Congregational church. Taking for his text A bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall He not know any verse in the Bible that shows better than this one the in finite patience and infinite tenderness Of God, almost more wonderful than His infinite love. My own shortcom- ines the church, it's shortcomings, in spite of all and underneath all, that spark of faith, this filckerirg dying light. God will not extinguish.
 The temper of Christ was a repro. duction of the infinite patience and tenderness of God and of what God wanted done for the worlds redemp- ton and salvation. At the time of Christs coming the moral character of man was never so low. Into this darkness came the light of the world. A great task had Christ to face; the hardness and almost hopelessness of the task was often impressed upon Him.
 Christ saw in Matthew, the publi- can. the germs of a mighty faith, a mighty conservation. We ought to thank heaven for this that can make divine strength so perfect in weak ness. God will not quench this spark of faith in us until it comes to eter- nal sight.
 There was a large representation from the Taftville church. The solos by Miss Hazel Banfield, Miss Jennie Kendall. Samuel Armitage, Miss Howie accompanying, and the anthem Thou Wilt Keep Him in Perfect Peace added much to the enjoyment anc heIpfulness of the service, which was | fittingly closed by the singing of the hymn Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me.

HANDS 1T BACK
The State Returns $125,OOO to
the Oil Companies.
Sum Represents Inspection
Fees Illegally Collected.

Kansas today returned $125. 200 in
INSPECTION fees collected from oil COM
panies The fees were returned under
a decision of the state supreme court
which in February held that the stat
inspection fee constituted a revenue
measure and was unconstitutional
Since the court decision oil inspections
in the state have taken big slump.
Fees returned TO oil companies to-
day constitute collections by the state
since the spring of 1915. Shortly after
the session of the 1915 legislature, the
oil companies began the payment of
fees under protest. Suit was then
started in the supreme court to test
the law The court held that the law
was valid, but set aside the provision
for ten cents barrel inspection fees.
Earl Akers,s state treasurer, has for
several months been custodian CT
$125,0OO in protested fees The mon
ey could not be used by the state and
Now it is to be returned to the oil
companies.
Since the fee provision of the state
law was knocked out inspection of oil
and gasoline has taken tremendous
slump. Returns from the state oil in
spector's office today showed the in
spection of S7,037 barrels of oil and
gasoline in February as against So
1913 barrels in January, 126,11S barrels
in December and 125, 500 barrels in
November. Loss of the oil inspection
law will cost the state about $125, 600
a year During the 1915 legislature
five cents a barrel. The measure was
vetoed by Governor Capper and the
controversy concerning fees was later
taken into court.
