DOC" AND SAM"
By F. F. CORLISS

eff man die, shall he live again."
This momentous question of Jobs
has been answered by thousands of
the worlds greatest scholars and
thinkers. Some have replied in the
affirmative and many in the mega
tive, but no one has given an answer
that satisfies the head and gratifes
the heart. No substantial evidence has
been produced that would be accepted
as proof in a court of justice Now,
for plain citizens like you and me,
Doc (who are of no consequence save
to ourselves), to try and illumine the
minds of others on subject so darkly
hidden, may seem rather presumptu-
Gus, no matter how modest we may
feel about it."
"That little word if, Sam, consider
ing its diminutive appearance, is the
biggest and hardest word in the Ian
guage to overcome 1t contains
double doubt. The first one is, does
he die or don't he die; possibly it is
just a seeming, transition, passing
from lower state to a higher; pos
slbly it is temporary sleep and then
an awakening. The second doubt is,
assuming that he is dead, will he live
again or indefinitely remain dead?"
"Well, Doc, am going to eliminate
1it+1a IF ny,J In,h1o ~
with a fiat statement as a postulate,
which is, that man don't die in the
sense tat we define death. And |
want you to hold me to the text and
make me prove it or admit defeat
$50 l start with the truth to sup
port me that sin God we live and
move and have our being" That out
of God we can not go, can not be, can
not do. That God is life; the whole
of life, the life of the universe. the
soul of it. In man, God is the life,
the soul, the mind and the heart of
him. Man is finite and inseparable
part of the Infinite life, the only life,
the whole of life, which life is self
existent, deathless, immortal. On this
planet Gods highest expression of
noble attributes have become manifest
in millions of individualized parts
called human beings and it becomes
self-evident that as every whole is
composed of parts, if you can by
death annihilate millions of its parts
you can destroy the whole.
"Now to annihilate the Creator by
taking the life Of His most useful,
most highly developed self conscious
creations, in whom He lives, through
whom He works to achieve His grand
est purpose, is something that is SIM
ply ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Now, SO long as the real man does
not die, it is evident that he still lives,
somehow, somewhere, though his
physical body, his temporary housing
is receivable into its elements"
Look here, Sam; it seems to me
this question hinges on the definition
of man. You and l are talking about
the real man, that elusive thing with
in US that gives US ideas, makes us
think, talk, walk and do useful work
We are discussing the spirit of the
thing we call man, knowing full well
that the spirit of thing is the thing
itself, regardless of what may be its
outward material covering.
"In the days of Job, Sam, man
knew very little about man, God or
the universe. They did talk God as
being a Spirit, but still they made

WATER RIGHTS OF MILLING
COMPANY TAKEN OVER
BY CITY
CITIZENS ARE PLEASED
PROPERTY PAID FOR OUT OF
EARNINGS OF LIGHT AND
POWER PLANT

AT a special meeting of the Water,
Light and Power Commission Thurs
day afternoon City Attorney Kells
submitted his findings relative to the
title of the land and water rights
owned by the Central MINI. Power
& Milling Co., owners of the dam
across Sank river.
The report showed that everything
in connection with the property was
in order, the abstracts up-to-date and
the taxes paid.
Since the Commission first voted to
purchase the property several weeks
ago it was felt that the city should
own the portion of the lot on the
north side of the river owned by Mr..
Parker, and after consultation this
strip of ground was included in the
purchase price of $f7,500.
Before Thursdays meeting Com
missioners O'Gara and Hennemann
had driven around the lake to ascer-
tain the feeling of farmers owning
lake shore property relative ito the
present stage of water maintained in
the lake. The opinions differed some
what. Several thought the present

thought if it Were six inches higher
it would be better. All agreed, how
ever, the head of waiter maintained
this season had been very beneficial
and expressed their satisfaction at
the prospect of the city taking over
the property which would be guar
anty that the lake would be properly
cared for in the future.
Before the commissioners adjourn
ed their meeting Thursday afternoon
V. T. Conklin, clerk of the commits
sion, was instructed to draw an ord
er i'm the sum of $17,500 in payment
for the purchase of the property as
soon as the deeds and other papers
were signed by the officers of the
Central Mimi. Power & Milling Co.
AL papers were signed Friday, the
money paid over and the dam is now
the positive property of the city of
Sank Centre. 1T has been paid for
ont of the earnings of the Light &
Power plant and the property has
been acquired without single cents
worth of additional taxes or indebt-
edness against the city.

by the citizens is that the Light and

At the meeting of the Northern
Minnesota Methodist conference at

successor to Rev. Wyand and he and
his family will be cordially welcomed
by the congregation and people Nof
the city. Rev. Wyand will preach
his farewell sermon on Sunday and
will move his household effects to
Eveleth the middle of next week.
