and for us. Up there every house is a
palace, every step a triumph, every
day jubilee, every covering OF the
head a coronation, every meal is
banquet, every hour rapture, every
moment an ecstacy.
There is Christ standing in the
temple-Christ the sacrifice the sun,
the star, the man, the God. Let us all
get ready to take our stand there
with Him. Do you love the beautiful?
Then go look on the Rose of Sharon,
even Jesus. Do you love music? Then
90 there and listen to the music of
His voice. Are you mathematician?
Then go and help count the years OF
His reign. Do you know explorers?
Then urge them to join the happy
throng that there they may discover
the breadth of His love. Have you
had the military spirit sanctified for
the cause of liberty? Then get thee
along the journey that there you
may see the Captain of your Saliva
ton. Are you an astronomer or do
you love astronomy? Then go look
at the Morning Star. Are you law
yer? Then hasten thy preparation
that you may be ready to stand un-
ashamed before Him who will judge
the quick and the dead. Are you a
physician? Then, as you go on your
blessed ministry of healing the sick,
make ready to look on Him who was
wounded for our transgressions, who
died, the just for the unjust that He
might bring US to God. And now
"Unto Him who shed for our sin His
own blood and made US kings and
priests unto God, to Him be the
glory in the church throughout all
ages, world without end" Amen!
AS David said concerning his dead
child do we say these words about
our loved and departed. They shall
not come to US, but through Christ
we shall go to them. And when we
go to them we shall know them even
as we shall be like Christ and see
Him as He is!

the craving of the individual human
heart for Individual recognition. He
| rs the God of the universe. But He
must not stop with being the God of
the universe. He must be MY God
and YOUR God.
Science has revealed the universe
as stretching out toward the infinite
| ly big. Science has also revealed to
us the universe resting inward to-
ward the infinitely small.
If take the wings of the telescope
and journey outward toward the dis
tant star worlds, / shall find a God
who cares for the individual. If l
take the wings of the microscope and
journey inward to the dust on a
moths wing / shall find God con-
cerned about the most common place
matters, matters of the individual. l
shall find in the powder that whitens
the wings of the moth corpuscles of
inconceivable smallness, and each
corpuscle composed of molecules,
immeasurably smaller and each mol
ecule compound of atoms and each
atom a whole system of electrons,
whirling as bees in room. There
learn that with equal ease and con-
cern God cares for the fluctuations
of the atoms and the pertubations
of the solar system. The microscope
teaches that the God of Ghosts" is
still the God of "Jacob."
Do you remember how God de-
scribed Himself in a passage which
Jesus used as an argument for the
reality of the life beyond? He said:
"I AM the God of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob" Not WAS the God of
Abraham, when he was alive; not l
WAS the God of Isaac when he was
on earth; not I WAS the God of Ja-
cob when he lived on earth! But the
relation was an actual and existing
one. God stood to them in the re-
lation of their personal God-who
knew them as Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob! Thank God for that!
God counts the hairs of our heads.
God numbers our footsteps. Not
sparrow falls but He knows. The
Good Shepherd knows his sheep by
name. Our names are written in
heaven. Jesus said: Rejoice because
your names are written in heaven"
Up there we shall not be lost and
merged into some vast ocean of be-
ing. We shall exist and live as our
selves. Life hereafter will be con-.
scious, individual, personal.
When we reach there after our
long journey it will not be as the
Amazon losing itself in the Atlantic
or as the Mississippi losing its iden-
tity in the Gulf of Mexico.
ssThe stars shine over the earth,
The stars shine over the sea,
The stars look up to the mighty
God,
The stars look down on me.
The stars shall live for a million
years,
A million years and a day,
But Christ and I will live and love
When the stars have passed away"
Conclusion: Dear friends, there is
going to be a great meeting in the
house of many mansions one OF Gods
days, when with our fghtings all over
and our victories won, we lay down
the old rugged cross to take up our
crown. And there is but one ques-
tion Ihave to ask as I close. That is
this: Are you ready for the mansion
Oh! "Eye hath not seen nor ear
heard neither hath it entered into the

walk without the support of a cane.
The ceremony was performed'in the
lobby Of the hotel and a dollar ad-

taken up for a wedding present. The
minister was introduced to speak a
little loud, and with two men to help

DUMP THEIR GOODS
Merchants of Tenth Federal
District Unload Big Stocks.
Prices During October 20 Per
Cent Lower, Says Report.

Kansas City, Mo-. Nov. 29.-The
monthly bulletin of the Federal Re-
serve bank of Kansas City covering
conditions in the tenth federal reserve
district states that reports for the
month of October do not indicate any
decided change in the tendency toward
general readjustment of business.
Price reductions, it sets forth, con-
tinued thru the month and by Novem-
Der there were some evidences of a
settling down to newer levels, giving
rise to a feeling that business was be-
ginning to assume new proportions.
The bulletin states that the level of
prices paid producers in the United
States for the principal crops de-
creased about 1911 per cent during
Octc Der, as officially reported by the
bureau of crop estimates, United States
department of agriculture. In the pre-
vious ten years the usual October de-
cline in farm products has been S.S
per cent. The governments report
states that on November 1 the index
figures on prices were about rs per
cent lower than a year ago, and i4.S
por cent high than the average of the
past ten years to November 1.
Price reductions on merchandise
caused a great many people to hold
off in the hope of prices going still
lower and as a result purchases during
October did not mount to the heights
merchants, however, with bargain
sales have succeeded in unloading the
bulk of their high priced merchandise.
Wholesalers. the bulletin continues
have undertaken to force business,
particularly in wearing apparel and
dry goods by widely advertised price
reductions. To date these sales are
attracting country merchants to the
cities in large numbers and in conse-
quence, larger volume of goods is
reported moving countryward.
The wheat holding" movement not
being officially in effect until October
rs, it is regarded as too early to APP
proximate results.
A big shrinkage in livestock move
ment to markets was noted during
October, farmers having plenty of feed
owing to holding of grain on account
OF low prices, preferring to feed stock
for later ne rketing in more finished

Kansas Bankers Anxious to Assist

Kansas bankers are willing to back
the farmers in the effort to secure a

of part of his crop. iquidate some Of
his obligations to the bank, it would
help the bankers out of a rather I'M

Bankers association, who has returned

The bankers and the farmers are
still mutually anxious to cooperate

PLAN CITY WELFARE BOARD.
Will Have Charge of Social and Enter
tninment Features of Towns.

A city welfare board which would
have practically all the social and en-
tertainment features of every city I'M
der it's direct and autocratic control,
is contemplated in a model city ordi-
nance for the creation of such board,
drawn up by the National Public Wei
fare league. The ordinance has been
submitted to the office of the attor-
ney general for an opinion as to its
constitutionality.
E. w. Clausen, assistant attorney
general, found most of the provisions
of the ordinance to be legal and con-
stitutional, except that under it the
welfare committee would be permitted
to make the curfew laws of the city.
That is a legislative function which
only city governments themselves may
exercise.
J. K. Codding, warden of the Kansas
penitentiary, is president of the league.
Senator Arthur Capper, Gov. Henry j.
Allen and DIR. H. j. Waters are menu
bers of the board of directors.
The powers of the board, under the
OF 6inance, are far neaching and in
clude the right to regulate all forms
of amusements, commercial and other
wise, the enforcement of several laws,
ana charitable functions.
