the sympathy of Jesus. The fact that any sinner has been in his present evil case for long time is no reason for supposing Jesus will not take an interest in him. or help or heal him. but reason for supposing that He will take q special interest i'll him (Mk. 9.21: Lu. &: 43; Ac. 3.2; cf. 422; 9:43; 8. Jesus apparently selected this man rom all the sad cases at the pooOl because it was the saddest and most hopeless case of all. He de- lights in the hopeless cases. The ques- ton that Jesus put to the man tv. @ implies that our being made whole depends upon our will. Jesus is ever willing and able. the only question is, are we willing (Kev. 22:1D. The only reason who any man does not obtain life in Christ is because he will not come to Him (Jno. 5.40). To every one of us Jesus puts the question to- day Wilt thou be made whole ?" Jesus does not ask the man if he would be made better but if he would be made "whole' The trouble with the average sinner is that he wishes Co be made better. but is not willing 70 be made whole. This man could not make himself whole. The man must first recognize how dire was his need: so it is with the sinner. The only way Of being made whole of which this man had any thought was through the efficiency of the healing waters Of the pool. but Jesus spoke a word and by the power Of that word he was healed He must be divine in whose word there is so much power CPs. l07: 20). There is power

UN|ON REVIVAL
 COMES TO END
 SUNDAY NIGHT

Sunday will be the closing day of the six weeks union evangelistic campaign in Phoenix. On that day the people of
 Phoenix and vicinity will have an op- portunity to express their appreciation for the services of the two evangelists who have worked so untiringly to make
 this a better Phoenix. Besides the di- rect benefit and additions to the churches of the city, there has been general moral uplift.
 Sunday in each of the three services those who attend will be given an op- portunity to make an offering to these men.
 All the other money collected during the campaign was raised by Mir. Hart for the finance committee for the cost
 of the tabernacle and current expenses
 none of this money going to the evan gelists for their compensation. The collection on the last day is all that l they will receive for their services of
 six weeks in our city.
 If Jesus Christ came to some | churches today the members would want to cruelty Him because He would | preach against some of their pet sins" | said Evangelist Hart at the tabernacle last night.
 The sermon last night was on The | Unpardonable Sin" a subject Hart | treated q few weeks ago. He defined | the unpardonable sin as withhold 1 ing your affections and love from your | Creator and giving them over to sin
 and selfishness. This is high treason against the Almighty" l The message was preached from three 1 texts: Acts vii. 5l, You do always l grieve the Holy Ghost.;" Ephesians iv
 90. 'Grieve not the holy spirit of God. D i and l Thessalonians V, l9, "Quench not
 the spirit"
 We are in the last days of dispensa . | lion," Hart said. If this book teaches | anything, 1t teaches us that we are in l the last days. When the call comes 1 all sinners must answer to God | All manner of sin against the Son will be forgiven. but none against the l spirit. There is no forgiveness for re- sistance Of the Holy Ghost.
 They look upon this revival as a
 sort of huge joke. I've had people | look on me as a sort of huge monstros
 ty as l walked down the street because | hit sin from the shoulder. They | looked at me even with enmity be- | cause I've tried to save them from their
 sins.

HOW WILD BILL GOT HIS MAN

Eastern newspapers and magazines printing a deal about Buffalo Bill and much of it. of vivid story last Sunday about how Buffalo Bill quar- reled with faro bank dealer in Deadwood and said to him: T will kill you next time I meet you the street. to which the gambler replied: "I shall the town square noon tomorrow" and enough, the gambler true to his promise started across, and Bill true also to his promise, shot him through the heart at distance of four hundred feet
 The story is true, with the exception that was not Buffalo Bill, but Wild Bill" Hickok, who did the killing; and it did not happen in Deadwood, but in Springfield, Mo.
 Wild Bill had a valuable gold watch While play ing faro in Springfield he lost all his money gave his watch as security for stack of chips. day he went back for his watch and the faro dealer told him 1t had been sale, not loan Wild Bill promised him that for this treachery he would kill him and the gambler promised that precisely the day he would cross the square
 At the appointed time Wild Bill stood in front of the courthouse. The gambler appeared door way on the opposite side of the square and shot Wild Bill The bullet struck a stone pillar above BilTs head and the hole gouged out was there until the courthouse was torn down few years ago. Wild Bill aimed deliberately and shot the gambler through the heart This IS yet talked about in southwestern Mis- souri as the most remarkable revolver known there although It was fired nearly fifty years ago.
 Another misstatement in an eastern story is that Wild Bill married famous actress in Boston while he was travelling in Buffalo Bills show. The truth is that Wild Bill and Buffalo were close friends and for a while Wild Bill actor with Buffalo Bill but that life too tame for him, and he broke camp Tn Chicago and returned to his beloved Wild West It was Texas Jack who married the actress. His real name was j. B. Omahundro and all the old timers of the frontier will recall him. He was with Buffalo Bils first show The Scouts of the Prairie" written by Ned Buntine. Mile Morachi played the part of Dove Eye an Indian maiden. While the company was at the old Boston Theater in Boston in March 1S73 she and Texas Jack married They lived happily together for while, and then yearning for the freedom of the frontier him and they parted

Postponement of Remedy

The anti-nepotism bill reposing among the documents of a house committee having passed the senate, will probably become law unless it becomes entangled in the congestion caused by the general appropriation bill The bil though should be amend ed by removing an amendment agreed to in the last moments by the senate postponng the operation of the act until January l, 1919. That amendment Illogical
 This bill is intended to correct abuse and crying one the abatement of an evil which is uni versally admitted the appointment by elective off cias of relatives office. If this practice has such evil and abuse call for this legislation, it will be evil and abuse for the next years, it will be for the years after January l. 1919
 somtimes the immediate operation of law would cause Arrangement which would interfere with the public business so that time should be allowed for adjustment of conditions to it. Sometimes also i'm mediate operation would work injustice upon private individuals that postponement of the operation is warranted. But neither contingency pre- itself in this The state is the sufferer every day that nepotism is permitted. And every day it is threatened with greater loss by the spread of the evil, if it is an evil.
 The senate by it's passage of the bill has declared it to be evil and evils cannot be remeded quickly,

Exeunt the Floats

It is well that Arizona did not go ahead on the invitation of Mrs James H. Boggs of Washington, D. C., and prepare a float for the inaugural parade feature of the festiyty for which arrangement had been made by the regularly constituted authority in charge of this quadrennia event. Mrs. Boggs is ident of the Woman's Wilson Union and appears to have proceeded to get up her float section regardless of it's relation the plans of the committee in charge.
 The float has it's place in kinds of parades. especially in industrial manifestations, but thought when first heard of Mrs Boggs float plan that if it carried it could lend dignity to the inaugural parade. We suppose it would be possible to prepare floats which would such sion; floats which might even be impressive. But floats from forty ynine states there would al most certainly be which would be grotesque, ridiculous unsuitable. We easily why Mrs. Boggs cherished float plan has been effectually and rudey sat upon.

The report of the house rules committee vindi- eating the men whose names have been mentioned in connection with the German note leak" does not carry with it a verdict that there no leak, but only that the individuals mentioned not the aperture That there was leak is certain and it quite possible that is to be blamed for it. though many have contributed to it-creating leaky atmosphere-without being aware of taking part in it.
