Bandits entered the bank at Vita-
ita, Okla., Monday afternoon and
locking the cashier id the vault es-
caped with $15,000 in money. They
made a clear get-away and f ere is
little hope of their identification.
The frequent and persistent rum-
ors that members of President Wil-

been set at rest by thei members
making positive declaration that no

Senator ShenDard has been made

Every Democrat should be inter-

a right to expect the Democracy to

WHAT IS MAN
Accord!nig to tradition, history or
something of the sort as th° great
wheel of time began to roll for-
ward toward the end of these aim-set•[
6000 years and after everything else
made, that; was made, man because
the very last of creation, took Iris
place at the head of the procession,
made monarch of all he surveyed
anid permitted to give names to the
rest of the animal creat'on. His
master made him upright, pure and
good and filled him full of names
suitable for all the rest of creation-
started him out under the most
charming and favorable circumstances
with the birds singing, cattle low-
ing, sheep bleating, serpents hiss-
ing, all gentle and fearless of him
whom the create’' bad placed over
them.
When we contemplate man in this
\iery enviable position before God
and the world we are horrified at
the thought -that be would step down
from his lofty place to listen and
be led off by the seductive influ-
ences of the devil—the enemy of
Gold and man—and take up hits dirty
work of disobedience that led -to
banishment from hisi lofty estate to
a life of disappointments, heartaches
and finally murder in hi© own house-
hold. Yet it is true and we are j
brought face to face with the fact j
that through this disobedience, death
was brought on. all -the children of
men and we must all die. It matters
n'oit who we are, where we are, nor
whether our surroundings are fav-
orable or unfavorable, money or no
money, educated cr uneducated, wire
or unwise, death through the d s-
obedience of one man will sooner or
later lay his icy hands upon us and
we made to realize we are on equal-
ity with every living mortal as we

ters to spell the death of the king
than it doe© iris- poorest subjects.

little words that will spell h s -des- j

in. If the golden text of our last
Sunday .school lesson mean® what
it ©ays (Be thou faithful unto death
and I will give thee a crown of 1'fe)
nothing short of faithfulness in God’s
service will meet the requirements
and these requirements are aK
wrapped up in one of -the little
words previously mentioned ‘right.’

The Federal Trade commission has

facturing news print paper, notwith-
standing the price has been more
than doubled in the last few months.
The result of this- finding may lead
to the investigation of the alleged

put the price of paper to the pres-
ent high and unreasonable price.

The road that connects your farm
with the nearest town has more to
do with the cosf of living, doubtless,
than you realize. Have you ever
thought that every product you sell
mjd every article you -buy -must be
bi-uled over the road; .thfct your
tdams and vehicles or your automo-
bile must bear the “wear, and tear”
caused by a rougn road to sell farm
products or to bring the necessities
from the town? The fact that your
neighbor must 'also pay the h’gh
cost of bad roads is air the better
reason w'hy you, he and the rest of
the neighborhood should get togeth-
er and improve the road to ;ave some
of this expense. What you and your
fibers lose in hauling farm pro-
ducts over bad roads would soon
build a good road and give you quick
and satisfactory service. How long
can you afford such loss? And
when ©hall the road be improved?—

the -temple of that .soul mdy go off
-and doubtless will try its band in
many ways in sin and rete lion against
its maker, against' its Christ, against
the Holy Spirit, against the church,
against tide best interest of its fam-

far enough. God will interfere and
say “You Wave had your fill of the
world old 'body, while your soul
has been seeking the fullness of God.
Get down now, off of your stilts, it’s
about time to die and go back to
dust.” Poor old body, how could it
have gotten through these low
til death and we live. The point I j ground® of sorrow had not God P«r-
wie,h to make clear (if possible) i® j mitted it to sin and have a high
that in all of Christ’s teachings, in 0id time with sinners and still let
fact,, all the Bible from beginning
to end offers nothing but a now sal-
vation.
Blessed is the man thajt walketh
not iin the counsel of the ungodly, not
did walk but is walking now. God
gave Hi® son that whosoever be-
lievetb hath everlasting life, not did
have it,, but got it now, because he
believeth now and that present tense
(helijef keeps him warm in a pres-
ent tense salvation from sin, soul
and body anid in communion with
the Divine'. “Blessed are they
whi'eli do hunger and thirst after
righteousness for they shall be fill-
ed,” not did hunger and thirst,, but
are on to their job and hungering
and thirsting now anid as they hun er
and thirst the filling conies. “Bless-
ed are the pure in heart for they
shall see God,” not were pure in
heart, but pure now and in this
pure sweet relation we can ’cok up
and with our spiritual vision see God
and by keeping up this present tense
purity of heart we will bye and bye
see Him face to face. The Master
'say® “ye are the salt cf the earth,
the light of the world, a city set on
a hill, a candle up on the candle-
stick, etc., but not a single time
does He say “Turn down the light,
p ur out the sal/t to fft't an*j frol c
with tihe Devil and hi© gang for a
while.” Nor does He anywhere say
the .soul live in this dirty, sinning,
disobedient, rebellious temple, happy
and beyond the power and dominion
of sin? It is no wonder fchaf the in-
spired writer in contemplating this
wonderful creation called Man wasi
led to say “ What is man that thou
art mindful of him?” So ending as
J began will s'ay, What is Man?
