This means a closer drawing of tbe lines of christian fellowship in the frank acceptance of christian truth. Thus ecclesiastical unity and orthodoxy go hand in hand in the presence of Christ's sacerdotal prayer "that they all may be one; as thou, Father art in me and I in thee, that they may be one in us." It thus appears that the trend of conservative thought is alone a policy which is both inclusive and in clear accordance with the teaching of Christ. For, let It be observed, Christ never desired his church to be a unit made up of all sorts of people, believers and unbelievers. He prayed that "it might be one" after a certain similitude, namely, "as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee, that they may be one in us."

Miller, pastor. Dr. Victoria McArthur, a returned missionary from India, gave a very interesting address at the Congregational church last Sunday morning on her labors in the Bombay presidency. Dr. McArthur has been in India for the, last seven years.

The first two years of her labors there were during the awful famine, which was raging in India at that time. She portrayed the life and religion and costumes of that benighted people In a most vivid manner. 1 Her hearers were forcibly impressed that a mbdlcal missionary's life where they administer healing for both soul and body is one of great sacrifice, as far as their personal comfort in this world is concerned, but one that will have large results in the world to come. The thank offering for missions at -the close of the address amounted to $25.21. apldly of late toward the consum LODGE DIRECTORY.

The pathway of truth cannot be blocked. In vain is the impregna New York, Sept. 24.Frank B. Kellogg, the "trust buster," who is probing the secrets of the Standard Oil Company, says there are no good trusts and he believes the Sherman anti-trust act sufficient to curb them. Speaking of the latter, hesald: "After having given the law a thorough study and analysis since its Introduction, and more especially since Its enactment, I feel absolutely assured that the Sherman antitrust act, without amendment, is sufficient, to accomplish what the government and the people demand -the dissolution of combinations in restraint of trade and the suppression of monopolies.

"I have gone through various experiences in the corporation world and the business world 1 generally, and am convinced that it is of the Mhest importance to the best interests and welfare of the people that all the avenues of trade and commerce should be kept open in order that individual enterprise, in no matter what branch of trade, or commerce put forth, may be able, nay, allowed, to reach its highest development." "Suppose corporations, through their large purchasing capacity," Mr. Kellogg was asked, "should reduce prices to the consumer, what then do you think of individual effort, which at best can not reach out to any vast extent?" "But we can not make- any such supposition," he replied. "Corporations do not reduce prices except for the purpose, of freezing out some individual. And then when they get control up go the prices to higher level than before, in order that lost profits may be recovered. "Are there no good trusts or corporations of capital or individuals?" "I know of none.

In fact, I might answer your question emphatically ro. I am firmly of the opinion that ro corporation or combination of In ble rock of scripture' assailed. In vain is the Messianic decree of God He that sitteth in the cific to the opposition than New Theology they have our consent to the use of it. Is the effort of the higher critic confined alone to the Pentateuch? Would God that it were' so! His. field of operation is 83 broad as the Bible itself, no part of which but has suffered from his merciless depredations.

No truth but has been assailed, from the identity of Jesus the Savior down to the very inspiration of the sacred book in part or as a whole. As plainly stated the Documentary Theory of the Pentateuch is simply a branch of this current system of thought. Next he call3 In question tbe argument: "The strange feature is, that no two critics agYee," and tells how it provokes him to mirth when men use It in opposition to new views, as he says tney always do, and then with amazing sang froid places it on record in the next paragraph as his first, argument in favor of "New Theology." Which in my mind has a parallel in the story of the two little boys who were engaged in horseback riding, one of whom said lo the other "I believe we could rido better If you would get off and alk He also inquires: "Are men who use their brains expected to think exactly alike?" and relates how the Pope used this argument with telling effect against the reformers. Later in paragraph three, he tells us that tbe statement "no two critics agree" is "singularly destitute of truth" and avers that these critics agree in a remarkable manner.

Word has been received that Dr. Burkett, director of the state experimental station, will be in Wakefield and attend the Farmers' institute on October 9, 10, and 11, Dr. Burkett has just arrived home from a three months' tour of Russia, where he went in quest of desirable varieties of hard wheat for. seeding Kansas wheat lands. He is an entertaining talker and an enthusiastic worker, and his coming and other arrangements now being made indicate even better things for our county institute ever before.

Farmers from all over the county will find it profitable and pleasant to attend the three days' meeting. The first day, Wednesday, October 9, will be devoted to a live stock show and boys' stock judging contest. Premium list and conditions for boys' contest will appear in next week's paper, as well as the entire program for all sessions. All boys between the ages of 12 and 18 years of age are eligible to the stock judging contest, and are urged to be on hand by 9 o'clock Wednesday morning with pencil and paper. The premiums will be more liberal than last year, and in addition to the regular list the boy making the highest average on all classes of stock will have his expenses paid for the entire short course at the state agricultural college at Manhattan during the holidays.

With no other inducement this would well be worth striving for. We want all the boys to came, and with your co-operation we wfll make a profitable day for you all.

First Published in the Wakefield News September 5, 1907. NOTICE. CONGREGATIONAL NOTES. BY REV. E.

W. MILLER. Several changes are just taking SCRIPTURE READING. Psalm 100. GOLDEN TEXT.

"The Lord Is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous In mercy." Psalm 103: 8. Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Extent of the History. Four books of the Bible. The portions of the land where these four narratives are located can be seen by the accompanying outline map.

Extent of Time. Nearly 40 years from the spring Of 1491 to the spring of 1451, according to the common chronology in our Bilbe margins. Many scholars think that the date is two or more centuries later. Extent of Territory. The Sinaitlc peninsula, between the two arms of the Red Sea'; from Egypt on the west to the Moablte mountains east of the Dead Sea; from the point of the peninsula on the south to the southern boundaries of Palestine on the north; together with the Gilead country east of the Jordan.

The Travel Club should trace on the map the movements of the Israelites from Egypt to the encampment by the Jordan opposite; noting the names of the places and the events which took place in them Perhaps in no way, says Peloubet's Notes, can this review be made more interesting and more effective than by treating the period as an ancient pilgrim's progress and placing the events we have studied beside the famous allegory of Bunyan, -Egypt being the. City of Destruction, and the encampment vin' Beulah Land on the borders of the river beyond which was the Celestial City, the Land of Promise. Cause your scholars to remember ever that the Celestial City does not mean merely a place at. the end of life, but the heavenly character, heavenly life, and heavenly blessedness here and everywhere. 1.

Escaping from Egypt, with religious rites, at -the call of Moses, In view of the judgments of God, and feeling bitterly the degradation of slavery, Is like Christian hasting from the City of Destruction with his fingers In his ears, crying, "Life, life, eternal life!" 2. Crossing the Red Sea against opposition, finding the way with difficulty, but helped by God's almighty power, is like beginning the Christian life. 3. The bitter Waters of Marah, the trials of the desert, early in their march to the land of promise, remind us of the Slough of Despond, In which Pliable exclaimed, "Is this the happiness ye have told me all this while of?" 4. The wells and palm trees of Elim show us the spring at the base of the Hill Difficulty, and the pleasant arbor about midway to the top of the hill "made by the Lord of the hljl for the refreshing of weary travelers." 5.

The Pillar of Cloud and of Fire Is represented by Evangelist and the Roll and the Shining Ones. 6. The Enemies, as Amalek and the Canaanites and the sons of Anak, are pictured by Apollyon with his fiery darts in the Valley of Humiliation. 7. The Manna has its counterpart in the Interpreter and the Roll, the teachings of Evangelist, and the supper in the Palace Beautiful, with its "feast of reason and flow of soul." 8.

The Golden Calf and its worship is partly paralleled by Worldly Wiseman and others, who sought to turn the pilgrims to other sources of relief than the Cross of Christ and the Wicket Gate. 9. The frequent murmurings and corqplaints, the bitter doubts whether they would ever reach "the land flowing with milk and honey," remind us of Christian and Hopeful in the Castle of Giant Despair. But as they found the Key of Promise and of hope, so all the things that tried the Israelites were a part of their necessary discipline. They should have made a heavenly ladder of their trials.

"Jacob, wrestling ail night with the strange power that malms him, clings and wrestles on, and will not let go wrestling until he has extorted a blessing from his hurt-er." "The hard lot, called poverty, Ignorance, narrow conditions, accidents, is waiting to give us, after the struggle, temperance, diligence, fortitude, concentration." 10. The Tabernacle, with all its appointments, is symbolized by the Palace Beautiful, with its armor and supper and chamber of peace. 11. The truths taught by the Day of Atonement and the Brazen Serpent are well expressed by the burden on Christian's back falling off in the presence of the Cross, so he "gave three leap3 of joy, and went on singing." 12. The report of the spies reminds us of the Delectable Mountains, whence the pilgrims caught glimpses of the Celestial City.

13. The Israelites' anger at Caleb and Joshua makes us think of the trial of Faithful in Vanity Fair. Agglootch, an Eskimo converted to Christianity, went all the way from the Aleutian islands to attend the national Christian Endeavor convention lately held in Seattle. He was full of zeal for his new faith; he calmly endured the hardships of travel, and did not flinch before the unwonted heat of the southern summer. But, says Youth's Companion, when he found that he must put on a frock coat and a silk hat for the place in Kansas which are of special Interest to Wakefield people.

The most Important, one is resignation of Rev. H. E. Thayer, who has for six years so successfully filled the most important position in Kansas that of Home Missionary superin-tendant. He now becomes president of Fairmount college at Wich critics do not use their brains? This has long been a matter of conviction with us, but we would hardly have dared to make it publicly known had not an opportunity been offered to phrase this sentiment In the brilliant rhetoric of Mr.

Miller. Next he made an unsuccessful attempt to relegate Prof. Sayce to a position of inferiority without endeavoring to answer one single argument his thesis. The second article therefore "The Documentary Theory of the Pentateuch." stands inviolate. We now come to whatMr.

Miller announces to be his richest point. This vindictive, assault is aroused by a paragraph from Dr. Burrell in which he states: "Today Thomas Paine would find himself at home beside some latter day His denials of christian doctrine were scarcely so extensive, etc. etc. Mr.

Miller makes no dividuals should be permitted to Monopolize all branches of a great J-dustry. For, if one industry may 1 monopolized, all of tbe industries the entire world migbt be corniced Into a gigantic trust, and what would happen?"

He was pastor, of the Wichita Plymouth church, the strongest Congregational church, in southern Kansas, before he became Home Missionary superintendent, and has ever since been warmly Interested in the success of Fairmount college. The new state superintendent of Home Missions is Rev L. C. Schnacke of McPherson, who will move to Topeka about October 1. Mr.

Schnacke was pastor at Clay Center a dozen years ago when they built their house of worship, so he is known to Congregationallsts in this vicinity. effort to deny the truthfulness of the paragraph which, if he were to do so, would ouly arouse the sus picion that he was uninformed, W. P. Gahnn's Sale. W.

P. Gahan, who resides on the old George Benn farm nine miles due south of Clay Center, will hold quite a large sale on Tuesday, October 1, beginning at 1 o'clock p. m. The offerings embrace 5 good work mares, a colt and a couple of young mules, 37 head of 33 head of hogs, and a lot of good implements, all bought new last spring. Free lunch will be served at noon.

Col. L. C. Cookson is the auctioneer. Mr.

Gahan intends to quit farming, and go into some other business, so his sale will be a closing out. KV THEOLOGY. Rev. Lucius C. Markham.
