LAW IS UNCHRIsTIAN

And finally, am opposed to it because it is unchristian There were many in- iquitous laws in the days of Romes su- premacy that Christ no doubt wanted changed, but we have no record of His attempt to compel the adoption of civil laws of His own making. The church was intended to be d heaven, and not an organization to frame compelling laws. Tho ministers of the church were intend- ed to be prophets, priests and shepherds. They were sent to visit the sick and minister to the poor and criminaly des- perate. They were not intended to be politicians nor lawmakers nor policemen however worthy might be the motives that impelled them to take up these un- accustomed tasks.
 Those who are seeking the cause of the chIrch's weakness today would do well to consider this tendency on the part of her leaders to dabble in the affairs of politics which are no part of their God-given business as ministers of His church. It is my firm conviction that the seeming success that similar att tempts have met with in the past while heralded as victories for the church, have been her bitterest defeats, for it is fundamental to human nature that we do not love the hand that smites us, nor the power that by force compels us to fore go our conscious choice The possible victory that the church can win in any
 
 offset by the hatred in the hearts of those who have been defeated, and these unreached thousands whom even now the church Is threatening to alienate. are the very ones, the lost sheep. to whom the church Is sent.
 Gods people. all of Gods people. let us remember them; let us not use our church organizations as clubs to wave over their heads, threatening their lih- critics unless they think as we think. Let us study their lives. Let us seek to un- derstand their problems. Let us always consider their welfare. Let us regard it as the highest duty of religion td bring what brightness we can into their lives on whatever day it is possible Let us heal them and feed them, yes, and even amuse them, on the Sabbath day.. for so we may help them forget the hard ness of earth, and so perhaps. help some of them remember the pity and the love of God"

THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT

Jennie loves her motor car, JcnniC
loves to ride,
Jennie loves her chauffeur am he
But Jennie hates the Blue Book with a
hate that's deep and wide,
and she would like 10 throw
all the Blue Books, with their
decimal system for indicating
distances, into
The deepest depths Of some far distant
sea.
We rurr along the level and we roar
across a bridge,
We swing around the corners with a
whirr,
We dip into hollow or we climb up
on ridge,
But Jennie is pouring over the
Blue Book trying to make out
whether il is miles or 5
of mile tothe next fork in
the road,
SO the landscape doesn't make hit
with her.
The road becomes a little rough, the
letters seem to dance,
The breezes blow the glasses from
her nose.
She grows exasperated--one can see
il at glance
for having once lost the place
it is difficult to tell whether
turn right" refers to the next
turn or the last, and
How to keep the road then goodness
knows.
Jennie loves her motor car, Jennie
loves to ride,
Jennie loves her chauffeur-which
is /.
But touring in the country has for her
its seamy side,
for tho the Blue Book stands for
Happiness, the Blue Book, to her,
stands for Misery, but
Perhaps she'll like it better by and by.

Evidently this man is of middle age,
Of moderate means, healthy and hon

THE BATTLE CRY OF PEACE
The Greatest Moving Picture Production
of tie Age al Harrison JuHe LIST.
boston Transcript

A spectator at a moving picture
is a callous sort. He has had sudden
death and destruction served up to
him too often to have it ruffie his calm
exterior. Besides he knows all this is
essential to any film worth the price
of admission. Thus in general he is
able to sit unmoved, while the dram
ats personae struggle in the midst of
fire, or flood, or famine. 1t is not be-
cause heiS hardhearted, It's because
there has become firmly ingrained in
him the belief that somewhere in the
last reel there will be tucked away a
happy ending. Be it said to the credit
of THE Battle Cry of Peace" produc-
ed last night at the Majestic, that
everyone in the crowded house waited
for the happy ending with strained at
tention. They read with general ex-
citement the moral Of unpreparedness
the film is supposed to teach. And
their attention changed to horrorwhen
the happy ending, after hoveringabout
for some time as a remote possibility,
vanished beneath the ruins of the city
of New York.
This wonderful production will be at
the Lyric Airdome June lst. vt will
be one of the great sights of your life.

HARRlS0N'S WAGON BRIDGE.
Six Thousand Dollar Convenience Which
Should Lead 10 More OF lts Kind.

Street Commissioner W. +. Gordon
this week announces the completion
and opening of the new wagon bridge
across Crooked Creek at Harrison.
Its value and convenience to the
people of thecountyas as well as the city
is being demonstrated every hour in
the day, and its substantial character
is being complimented by the best
judges of such structures. Engineer
Galbreath, of the Missouri and North
Arkansas Railroad, says it could safe
ly carry a railroad train, and there is
no vibration whatever to it. To Con-
tractor Mike Orr is due the excellence
of its construction.
Its total cost to date has been
S5,S24. Some additional expense will
yet be necessary in grading the bridge
approaches.
Its full length of $50 feet is carried
by four stone piers and four steel
trusses, Its width of 20 feet carries a
four-foot side-way for foot passengers,
leaving l6 feet in the clear so that the
largest vehicles may pass easily, and
both sides are enclosed by heavy rail-
ing and woven wire.
As whole the new bridge is an i'm
provement of which Harrison especial
ly and the county generally should be
proud.

OIL. Garrison, president of the

Of the Farmers Bank, Olvey, Ark,
yesterday closed a $4,000 mining

This property is in the Kingdom

reports of at least two mining engi-
neers sent to investigate the property
show rich deposits of zinc carbonate
and zinc sulphide.
Mr.. Garrison announces that a
200 ton mill per ten-hour shift has al
ready been purchased for this proper
ty, and that a Well-known St. Louis
mining and milling engineer, whose
name will be announced later, will
have charge of the active operation.
There are now around 1000 tons Of
ore on the dump ready for the mill
Ten bore holes have been put down
to deph Of l0Ofeet, all of which pene-
trated rich ore bodies.
The property will be incorporated

OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT.
Bill Of Lading For Big Drill Received
Standard Oil Company Interested.

w. j. Myers, whose land, the old
Holcomb place between Batavia and
Capps, has been selected for the first
drilling of the Sarber Company, in
forms us that bills of lading have been
received for the drilling machinery,
which is expected next week, and that
the lumber is being sawed for the big
derrick to be erected at once.
\ This development work is being
financed by the f. 4. Sarber Co., of
Parkersburg, West Virginia, a corpor-
alton which is engaged extensively in
this work, both in the east and west.
They have options covering over three
thousand acres, and will spend thou
sands Of dollars of their own money in
testing this ground. Their experts
have reported favorably on the sec
ton covered, and they express conf
dence in the outcome. MessrS. Sarber
and Gore were out last week looking
over the land, and both say that indi-
cations are exceptionally fine, both
the oil rock and oil sand being found
on the surface.
A new Richmond in the field devel-
oped this week when W. 7. Robinson,
representative of the Standard Oil
Co., arrived and began taking options
for his people, 1t is understood that
he is paying Is cents per acre per year
for all the oil leases he can get, and
that he will extend his activities to all
the country between Capps and the
Sulphur Mountain.
These new operators are not dis
couraged by the fact that Branner,
Opperman and other authorities have
reported adversely on our oil possibili-
ties, but insist that the surface indica-
tions are exceptionally fine.
Their first drill hole will be pushed
down at least 2,200 feet unless oil or
gas is found in paying quantities at
less depth. -.
