WHAT CHRIST WOULD DO

That was an interesting sermon
preached by the Rev. Troy Bess the
other evening on what Christ would
do II he were dictator of Abilene and
the most interesting part Of 1t was
the summary Of opinions Of lover

terviews by the pastor.
It was somewhat remarkable that
In the summary appears little indi-
cation that the persons giving their
opinions actually grasped the real
mission of Jesus as He manifested II
while on earth. Practically every
one seemed to expect that He would
bring about reforms and make this
perfect community by His dicta-
torship. Doubtless He could by q
wave Of His hand transform the
hearts, minds and lives of everyone
on the townsite-but He never fol-
lowed such course. He could have
reformed the world by dictatiOn in
an instant but He did not attempt
that. 1t Is illogical to think that He
would rule city differently from the
method Of His teachings. He would
work through the human agencies
now as ever. The town would have
to bring about its own salvation and
His part would be- to lead Its people
to the right method Of thinking and
not to compel obedience.
One weakness Of the world today
Is that 1t has grown to expect some
outside agency to do its reforming.
High priced promoters raise the
funds, other well paid agents distrib-
ute 1t and 10, we have great uplift

URGE MORE FIRE DRILLS
State Fire Marshal Issues Rules for
Their Conduct

L. T. Hussey, state FIRE marshal, is
urging schools to devote more time to
fire drills. In cooperation with the
state superintendent Of public in
struction, he is issuing instructions
for the proper conduct Of the drills.
The prescribed rues follow:
Fire drills are practiced that panics
may be averted and the children
marched out rapidly and without con.
| fusion.
Fire drills should aim at a quick
dismissal without going for coats or
hats.
Fire drills should be had frequent
ly but at irregular and secret times.
See that adj exits open outward.
See that the exit facilities are suf-
fcient and unobstructed.
Keep the fire escapes free from OBJ
struction, Ice and snow. Sprinkle
with ashes and sand when slick.
Use the fire escapes frequently,
both for regular dismissals and for
fire drills.
Observe the fire drills rules as far
as practicable in the regular dismiss
ais.
Use a special bell for drill signals.
Be sure the signal is distinctive.
At the sound Of the fire signal, all
work must cease instantly. Pupils
will rise and march as directed, boys
leading.
Teachers should follow, to be sure
that no child has been left behind.
Boys should lead and girls follow,
or. II possible, separate exits shall be
taken. Boys often trample girls in
a rush and girls are sure to be fright
ened at boys coming down behind
them.
The movement Of the children
shall be by the shortest route and
there shall be no crossing Of lines.
Glasses near stairway shall precede
those farther away; lower floor
classes shall ~precede upper floor
First drills should conclude with
the continued march Of the children
out and away from the school not
less than fifty feet in different direc-
lions. us

lene, Kansas, October "a, 1915, died
In Hoxie, Kansas, September 20,

20 days.
Funeral services were conducted

at Abilene, Kansas, September % at
the Baptist church, Rev. T. J. Duvall,
officiating.
The text Of the scriptures were
these words: "And the child grew,
waxed strong In spirit, increased in
wisdom and stature and in favor
with God and man." so fittingly de-
scribed the life of this little child.
Music furnished by the choir were
the songs that Genuine loved and
sang, Jesus Loves Me-" Jewels"
and "In the Sweet Bye and Bye"
The pail bearers were her music
teacher and her Sunday instructors I:
Miss Lillian Sexton, Miss Georgia
Hale, Miss Young and Miss Evans.
The flowers were many and beau
tiful, friends and loved ones innumer-
able; showing by these expressions
the browning glory Of perfect life.
Few in years, vet little Genuine lived
not In vain. Her wonderful personal
ity, radiant smile and loving heart
brought the Christ very near to
strong men as well as little children.
Not only will she be missed in her
home but In the church, Sunday
school and community in which she
lived, also in western Kansas where
she spent the last hours of her pure
youngl life.
Bright beyond her years. with
wonderful future before her, yet all
that loving hands could do proved in
vain for God in his great mercy and
wisdom took this little bud to blas-
som In Heaven.
