Here is the way to vote against Act No. No. 2:
 FOR AG ACT A02 49:
Against Act No. 2

N/I\ M ~)s
 Against Act No. 2
 Cross out For Act No, 2" and leave it as it is, Against Act No. g."
 Remember that the election Is next Tuesday. Nov. 2. Let all the people who do not want a saloon by their door go to the polls and vote against Act No. 2.
 Hon. A. s. McKennon, of Okla homa; ex-Attorney General of Arkansas, w. E. Atkinson; ex- Circuit Judge, Hugh Basham; County Judge J. J. Montgomery; Hon. Huddlestron, prosecuting attorney; ex-Governor Futrall, and dozens of others of the best lawers of the state agree that Act No. 2 carries no penalties for selling liquor without h. cense. therefore liquor may be sold in the state without li- cense. It may be sold as well by your house as by the house of some one in Little Rock or Fort Smith. Then let me again say that if you do not want liquor sold near your house do not vote to have it sold at all. for it can be sold as well by your home as anywhere else. if these dozens of Arkansas best law yers know what they are talk ing about. Do not be fooled un- less you desire to flood this fair state with liquor as no other state in the Union is.
 To the Judges of the Elections
 I have made inquiry as to what you say when asked about Act '
 No. ?, by the one about to vote. You may say that Act No. 7 means whiskey or no whiskey. If you vote for Act No. 2 you vote to put whiskev in Arkansas again; if you vote against 1t. you vote to keep the statewide act as we now have. You may say that much and transgress no law.
 Much depends on those who help the voters. Many do not understand the bill, and some will get tangled up on how to vote against it. Let some good prohibitionist stay about the vot- ing precints. Do work with a will. We seem to be in the clear fully, but it is no time to quit. If we can beat them this time with an overwhelming majority they will not be so quick to come back at us. Lay it on and have no mercy. The whiskey cause ought not to live. Wen love the men who are against us but for heavens sake kill the cause of liquor.
 Stay not at home. friend of humanity. Go to the poles and vote hard against Act. No. 2. Read it and give it out to others. See that all voters against Act. No. 2, get to the polls.
 The late Senator Clark gave $lO0. with which to fight Act, No. 2. Senator Robinson is against it, all the congressman, the candidates for senate and governor are against it. l do not know of a candidate-county or state that is forit. Nearly all the good people of the state are against Act, No. 2. On which side are you?

Black and White.

In speaking of states that have laws prohibiting the sale of in- toxicating liquors we say dry. v while the liquor states we call wet" Why not call them white and black? That is the way they are painted and that is the way they are in more ways than one. For instance a state that is so stuck in the mud that it can't run a self-supporting government without the aid of the saloon license, would be called a black state. The writer spent seven years in a white state and am firmly convinced that prohibition lowers the farm ers' taxes.
 As a general thing the high tax howlers are unknown in Kansas. One farmer 1 knew paid $17.50 on a we'll improved quarter section. His farm was valued at $40 per acre. while in Missouri the taxes on a quarter section valued at $80 per acre would exceed the $1OO mark.
 Why do the farmers in a black state pay higher taxes? Is it right? Is it fair?
 Twenty years ago a little town in Central Illinois had 15 saloons paying an annual license of $lOO each. One man committed a crime while drunk; his case went through the circuit court and cost the state $500. Is it right? Is it fair to make the farmers and merchants pay the costs?
 When Colorado went white one ex-saloon keeper hung out a sign like this
 GET SHOES
 Where You Used to Get Boose.
 When Missouri goes white the liquor interests will engage in other enterprises and produce about as much revenues for the state. And we won't need so much then. A state or common wealth is made up of private citi- zens. If a majority of the citi- zens can't buy shoes, what can the state buy? In these days you read about new corporations and new factories. Where? In other states principally. Why? Answer yourself.
 If you want to go to heaven vote against Act No. 2.

Commentator Of Gospel.

Upon the resurrection Of Christ Jesus
depends not only our salvation but our
hope for immortality. for the resurrec-
volved in that of our Lord. His resur-
rection proves that there will be a
resurrection of the dead. From the
broad fields of the dead shall arise a
mighty army. Each man shall be in his
own company. Christ leads. The first
division after Him will be the redeem
ed, reused by the trumpet which an
nounces His second coming Those who
are not Christs will complete the in
finite array. for even the rejectors of
the Lord are to arise through Him,
though refusing the greater gift of sal
Walton.
The raising OF men from their graves
will be d complete demonstration of the
kingship of our risen Lord The demon
stration that began with His ministry will
end with the complete subjugation of
every enemy to righteousness and to
divine authority. Not till then will there
be permanent peace among men The
laymen. whose series of missionary meet

message of Christ's resurrection saving
to men. This Jesus hath God raised up.
whereof we are witnesses" The laymen
who went forth under the influence of
Christ's presence. peace and mower to
start the first campaign for the evan
gelization of the world demonstrated the
power OF his resurrection
The presence OF the risen Christ with
His church is the assurance Of victory
He will give us the power by which we
| can rise above the despair. difficulties
and disbursements of the present age
and turn our defeats into victories His
presence nils US with hope and joy at
this Eastertide- When We look at the
empty tomb we know that He has risen,
as He said. and that He was the first
fruits of them that are asleep" Let

to tell the whote world the message OF

been confirmed by incontestable wit
nesses and assure them that the power
by which Christ broke the bonds OF
death on the first Easter morn is the
promised force by which we, too. shall
conquer death.

Gospel of Resurrection.

The good news that they had &C
cepted had been the means of their
conversion. PauIs preaching empha-
sized three great facts concerning
Jesus-his death. burial and resurrec-
and were historical facts upon which
Christianity appeals to men. They con-
stitute the gospel that has made pos
sible for every individual soul to have
with Jesus Christ. which frees them
not only from their sin. but enables
them 10 defeat evil in their daily life.
Christ's death made possible the rec
onciliation Of the sinner with God. The
reality of His atoning death was
proven by His burial. which has vital
value in the gospel because it is the
necessary connecting link between the
Masters death and His resurrection.
which established the fact that Jesus
WAS the Son of God.
Faith in the reality of the resurrec-
tion of the Christ is based upon his
story because the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
and simplicity of statement made by
the eyewitnesses of the Lords activi-
ties after His death and burial proved
beyond any reasonable doubt the facts
of Christs resurrection. Paul corrobo-
rated all the facts by the testimony OF
eyewitnesSes who were worthy of Gre
dence. He took special pains TO confirm
MED it because of it's miraculous ma
iure and far-reaching influence had
turned the defeat OF Calvary into a vic

cross was not a scanold. but q throne

Confirmed by Incontestable Proof.

The truth concerning our Lord
resurrection has been tested in the cru
chile of hostile criticism and the In
contestable facts established by &C
credited testimony. The record of the
resurrection reveals that the apostles
were not credulous men. They would
not accept the almost incredible fact
without positive proof. Paul refers TO
six of the twelve recorded appearances
of the risen Christ that demonstrated
by his bodily appearance that Jesus
had risen from the dead
In the providence of God these ap-
pearances We're furnished IN great va
riety and at various times: morning.
noon, afternoon and evening. The ap-
pearances were seldom repeated in the
same place or under the same ctrcum-
stances. In the open. along the road
by the lake, near the tomb in the gar,
den and on the mountain. He appeared
in the dining room. as well as at the
prayer meeting of the disciples
Others had seen Jesus before, al
though Paul refers first to Christs APP
pearance to Peter. whom he calls by his
Aramaic name of Cephas. Neither
Luke or Paul gives us any of the de
tails of this meeting that resulted IN
the restoration of Peter. Possibly. as
Campbell Morgan has suggested. IT
Peter said blessed be the God and
Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ. who.
according to His great mercy. begat US
gain into living hope by the resur-
rection of Jesus Christ from the dead
The reference to the twelve refers to
the Masters appearance to the ten
apostles when Thomas was absent The
next reference relates to the appear
ance of Jesus to the multitude of f1ve
hundred Christians of whom the
ma jority were then (56 A. D. living
witnesses of Christ's appearance to
them upon the mountain of Galilee
when He gave them His program for
the evangelization of the world.
The appearance to James is not re-
called in any other record. Possibly
it was at the time when the Lord Jesus
, won His own brother James. who was
as skeptical as Thomas. who was pres
ent when Jesus appeared to the eleven
and was convinced by the Lords words
and the opportunity that He gave to
| him to make an investigation. All of
the appearances corroborated Pauis
own experience upon the road to
Damascus that resulted in his own con-
I version. In the first three appearances
Christ promised pardon, peace and
power. and in the last three Jesus
removed the skepticism OF family.
friend and foe. Paul pointed out the
foolishness of doubling such a vital
truth that was the pivot upon which
all other Christian values turned. The
consequences would end in blank in
fidelity, for if there We're no resurrec-
| ton of the dead. then They are graves

By Rev. H. T. Stevenson.

Easter calls for the turning aside from
the regular course of lessons concerning
the history of the early church to con-
slider the triumphant resurrection of our
Lord and Savior.
The lesson has been selected from
Paurs immortal chapter upon the resur-
rection that has comforted millions by
its forceful and clear presentation Of
the fundamental truth of Christianity
that has lifted the veil Of the future and
promised future life to all that believe
in Christ as a risen Savior. Jesus staked
His mission. messiahship and message
upon His resurrection, which an eminent
rationafistic critic of Germany acknowl-
edges Is an incontestable fact that has
been proven by accredited and competent
testimony. There is more historic evil
