REM0RSE OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR
 REPENTANCE
Minister Jordan Explains "True Repentance" in
 Sermon Last Night.

The subject of the sermon preach ed by Rev. A. Homer Jordan last night at the First Christian church was on the subject of "True Repentance"
 "lt is not the desire of God said pr. Jordan, Chat any should perish. It is not the desire of Christ that any should remain in their sins. Yet it is not the intention of God and of Christ to receive thosn who are will ing to remain in their sins. Nothing unclean can enter into Heaven
 "We want to consider first the na- ture of repentance. Repentance is not simply sorrow. Often the sorrow is not because of the sin, but because of the exposure. Real downright Godly sorrow is q step to repentance. Re- pentance is change to the better The sins of the past are renounced. There are three elements in repentance that we want to see-sorroW, determina- tion to live differently, and action up- on that determination.
 "ReDentance is 8 great necessity. All of us are not criminals but all of us have sinned. In our sins we are lost. We must be restored to the favor of God. Repentance is truly a part of the plan of salvation
 '"The time to repent should not be overlooked. Now is the time to re- pent. There may be a time later but now is the only time of which we have any promise. There is a time when it will be too late. Delay multi plies difficulties, and makes one pawn his soul to the devil that much longer. There is no time to repent like the present time"
 MT. Saxton greatly impressed the audience by his beautiful solo, He Knows It All" This was gospel message in itself.
 Tonight the subject of the sermon will be, "Dead and Alive"

TEN DAYS TO FILE
 U. S. TAX RETURNS

Just ten days remain of the period allowed by the federal government for the filing of income and excess profits tax returns without the pay ment of penalties. The law provides:
 That any person, corporation, part nership association or insurance com pany, liable to pay the tax, to make a return or to supply information re- quired under this title, who refuses or neglects to pay such tax, to make such return or supply such informa- tion at the time or times herein spe- cified in each year, shall be liable, ex- cept as otherwise specially provided in this title, to penalty of not less than $20 nor more than $1,O0O."
 Do not fool yourself into believing that you will be able to escape. After April 1, there will be in the United States some 10000 men who will go into every nook and corner of the country looking for slackers.
 The instructions for making returns of the income tax contains clause affecting employers that many of them have overlooked. This clause reads:
 Every individual, firm or corpora tion who during 1917 paid to another person salary, wages, interest, com mission, rentals, etc., of $500 or more is required to make true and accur- ate return to the commissioner of in ternal revenue showing the nature and sourc eof such payments, and the name and address of the person re- ceiving them.

DANGER OF FROST PAST.

Gardeners who have been delaying to plant because of fear of frost may proceed with assurance, because Weather Observer H. S. Cole at Little Rock says the chances are 38 to 10 that there will not be another killing frost this spring.
 The weekly weather report says that the temperature likely will be above normal this week, so there is little prospect of killing frost before March 24. The records for killing frost in the spring have been kept for 3S years, and in that time there have been such frosts only on the follow ing dates after March "A: March %, 1912; March 2S, 1904; March 29, 1887 and 1906; March 30f 1894; April |, 1898; April 2. 1881; April 4, ls9S; April 5, 1886 April 26, 1910. MT. Cole advises gardeners to plant now, but to be ready to cover up their gardens if heavy frost seems likely.
