TAKES TEXT FROM
VERSE
DR.. L. Groh Reviews Christ's Min
isters Duties in Service at
Lutheran Church.
PITFALLS OF w.MINDED


Rev. DR.. L. Groh. at ST. Marks English
Lutheran church. took as his text sun
day morning the verse that is perhaps
the most paradoxical one in the Bible
He was assisted in the service by Rev.
j. A. Lowe. Phi. D.. OF McCool, Neb..
chaplain OF the Nebraska Lutheran synod.
DR.. Groh's text was the tenth verse OF
the sixth chapter Of the second epistle
to the Corinthians: AS sorrowing. yet
always rejoicing; as poor. yet making
many rich: as having nothing. and yet
possessing all things"
Paul. in this chapter. reviews the
duties Of ministers Of Christ and enum-
crates the Affections that they must be
prepared TO suffer for the cake OF the
sospcl," said the speaker
This verse is a paradox. triple
paradox. And as such It illustrates well
the pitfalls into which the shallow
minded fall when they presume to criu-
CHE Gods word and plan. A superficial
person, looking at this verse in his char
acteristic superficial manner would i'm
mediately curl scornful lip and say It
was false on the face OF II.
sorrowinR, Yet Rejoicing.
But little analysis shows in this
verse the rich gold that study uncovers
in any part of the Bible. How. then
can a person be sorrowing yet always
rejoicing? Luther. when he stood by the
body of his dead daughter knew pro
foundest sorrow; yet at the same time he
professed the supremest Joy because he
knew that she was saved and happy
and safe.
THE Christian may always be in sor-
row for the sin and iniquity which he
sees i'm the world all about him. and yet
sees the peace and joy OF God because nc
realizes that Christ has saved the world.
How can one be poor and make many
rich? Paul speaks here OF worldly
poverty and spiritual riches. Paul had
He had given up all his material
riches. Yet he made many rich by rea-
son of the fact that he preached Christ's
to them.
And so with the final apparent
paradox, as having nothing and vet
possessing all things. The apostles had
in worldly goods. yet they
possessed all things because they had
what is worth immeasurably more than
earthly riches"

SANTA FE DOING GOOD
 WORK ON SECOND STREET

The work of opening Second Street across the Santa Fe tracks is moving slowly, but the railroad company is very thoro and when the work is completed the street across the tracks will be in fine shape. The tracks have been sur faced with cinders and the approach on the north side is being made entirely of cinders. The roadway north to the north side of the right of way has been graded and this will be surfaced with cinders. The drainage of the yards will be taken care of by two box culverts, one on the north side of the tracks and the other on the south side but between tracks. In addition to this street work a pavement is to be constructed at the east end of the freight building and concrete sidewalk along the east side. The street will be paved south to the south side of the right of way. When this work is all completed there will be general realization that no mistake has been made in crossing the tracks on Second Street. The crossing as construct ed will be both convenient and saft and will add much to the good appearance of the Town.

Motor Cycle Race On, 7 Start

Several motor-cyclists went over the road from Springerville to Phoenix a few days ago to try out the road preparatory to participating in the race from Springerville to Phoenix which was to start and did start Nov. g. The cyclists were to relay at Flagstaff Thursday evening and make the next run thru to Phoe- nix. At 8:30 to- 800 Friday morning the motors passed thru Williams on the way to Phoenix. All seemed to be in good condi- tion and were clipping along at a good gait.
 Cannon-ball Davis, the noted is one of the contestants. When the motorcycles passed thru Williams a Flagstaff participant was in the lead. The motor cycles are averaging better than 40 miles an hour.

BOOTLEG WH|SKEY
 CAUSED HIS DEATH

John Mclaughlin lum jack of the Saginaw camps came into Williams the middle of last week with a roll of about $225 and be- gan the gay life. He placed some of his money on election wagers but more of it went to boot-leggers for their vile fluid. Sunday he was seen helplessly drunk and while in that condition a Mexican was seen to go through his pockets and take his watch. Wednesday morn ing Mclaughlin was found dead in bed at Charley Bonner's house. A coroners jury was summoned by Judge Twitty and it rendered a verdict that the deceased came to his death thru natural causes; from which it probably may be inferred that it is perfectly natural for boot leg whiskey to cause desth.

WILSON AND HUNT
 WIN IN FINALS

In one of the clos est and most sharply contested elections of our history Woodrow Wilson the democratic candidate for the presidency seems to have won. The early returns were from the eastern states and they pointed to landslide for MT. Hughes. As states further west were heard from it became evident that there had been no landslide tho it yet looked as if Mir. Hughes was sure winner. Succeeding reports narrowed the margin be- tween the two candidates an finally the Wilson electors out numbered the Hughes and when the complete vote of California was in Mr. Wilson had enough electors to insure his election and, if states still doubtful were found to have given a democratic majority, his vote would go we'll toward the 300 mark -266 being necessary to elect.
 Hunt Also Wihs
 In Arizona conflict was on little less interesting than that of the nation. The supporters of, Tom Campbell heralded his election as governor and the dem- ocrats were ready to concede Hunts defeat. Completer re- turns. however, gave democrats courage to hold up their heads and hope for victory. The Camp bell majority shrank gradually and finally disappeared entirely and a small Hunt majority took it's place. The famous sombrero had failed to elevate it's owner to the governorship. The pictur- esque figure of ,Arizene's hand somest man had not appealed strongly enough to the, supposed ly, susceptible hearts of Arizona's women voters. The pudgy little man from Gila whose speech is a very poor index of his deeds had been vindicated- not as generously as he had hoped, but still vindicated. And Shake speare's "He laughs best who laughs last" was exemplifed.

MOST MOMENTOUS
 ELECTION FOR 5O YEARS

The most momentouS election in 50 years passed quietly in Will Hams. The day dawned with a cold raw breeze blowing and the promise. later fulfilled, was for a cold day. The election board was ready to receive votes at the time fixed by law and in the first precinct Dick Connors asked for and received a ballot at 8. In the second ward the first to call for a ballot was s. s. Stark at 6:15. From that time on until noon voting was ftful and only a total of ST in the first precinct and 81 in the second precinct had been cast at 11:30.
 By one o'clock the vote had climbed to 126 in the first pre- cinct and to 109 in the second precinct. Voting picked up quite rapidly as the afternoon wore off and at 3:30 the vote stood 200 for the first precinct and 223 for the second.
 The gains of the second ward over the first could be accounted for by the number of automibles busy carrying second precinct voters to the polls while in the first precinct the voters had to walk and were longer in getting to the polls, if they went at all. The next hour added A votes to the poll in the first precinct and AS votes to the poll in the second precinct.
 At this time election officers and voters were asking eagerly for news from the general cleo ton. However, scarcely any thing had been received from the east and nothing which would give a line on the result. Small towns in Massachusetts were re- ported thru their poll and the count underway. The count as far as it had gone was decidedly in favor of Hughes for president.
 The last voter in the first pre- cinct, w. G. Ellison, cast his bal lot at $50 and in the second pre- cinct Daniel Mclean completed the polling at 5:45.
 Electors in Williams last Tues day were good natured and or derly thruout. Of course the boot-legger piled his nefarious business and there was some drunkenness but no disorder. Those who were loaded with booze wandered away, mainly, to have a lonesome "good time. :" A few there were to taint the air with their foul breaths, but otherwise they did not make themselves obnoxious. When the polls closed at 6 o'clock Will Hams could enjoy the satisfaction of having held an election at which the women voters were very welcome and very court eously treated.
