"Oa the other hand 1 do not desire
the companionship of those on the
olhor side. I might live a good moral
life, but see the company I should
have, to keep, an army of drunkard
liars, thieves, thug4, rubbers,, adult
ers, fornicators, athie.sts, infidel,
Ramblers, swearers and anarchist
Let those who will chose that com
pany, but "as for me and my boue
Ave will serve the Lord.' Yes, as a
Christian, I am greatly delighted with
my company !
"Again I am a Christian because I
know there is a hell awaiting the un
godly and 1 do not dosire to go
there tho fact of hell is written not
only all though the Bible, but on the
very face of earth, sea and sky. Je
sus Christ declared that that 'those
shall go away into everlnsting pun
ishment but the righteous into life
eternal.' The Savior makes ue of the
Riimo Greek word in describing the
duration of the punishment of the
wicked and of tho joy of the right
eous. Josns said: 'The wicked hlmll
bo turned into hell with all nation
that forgot god."
"Ju tho Bible we rend 'the smoke
of thoir tormont ascendeth up forewr
and ever.' Christ himself describes
in detail tho horrible suffering of
divos in hell. I tell you my brother
whatever boll is, I intend never to
thorc, by the grace of God I am de
termined to steer as far as possible
away from the blaok shores of dam
nation. "Again I am n Christian because I
know thorc is n heaven and I desire,
oh, I supremely desire to go there.
I have had enough sorrow and trouble
in this world. I have had many dark
days and stonny nights, the voyage
of Jifo has boon exceedingly rough.
Again and again my heart has sunk in
a sea of sadness. Oh I do detdn
when I leave this world to make my
home in heaven. Tho' prophots and
the apostlos have told us about that
country. The sages and the poets
hnvo writton joyfully of that final
homo of tho soul. Jesus tells us
about it and says: 'Let not your
hearts bo troubled, ye believe in God,
believe also in mo, in my Father
house are many mansions, if it were
not so I would have told you. I go to
prcparo a place for you J will ciimo
prepare- a placo for you I wil come
again and reeoivo you into myself that
whero I am thoro yo may bo also.'
John on tho lonoly Isle of Patmos

'Holy City, the new Jerusalem' which

From a soml-ofricinl sourco it was
learned today that some startling de
velopment, which has been brought
to light, allies the California end to
the tndinunpolis inquiry more closely
than was thought possible a week
ago. From Washington Lawler will
go to Indianapolis, whero ho will aid
In tho investigation now being di
rected by the federnl authorities
there toward some of tho highest of
flcors of national labor union organ
izations. Whilo no authoritatlvo information
was obtainable, it was learned from
a reliable source today that six In
dictments will ultimately bo returned
ngatnst California labor leaders. Ar
rests amy not be made until the
federal probo In Indianapolis Is
closed, as it is boiieved that the
department of justice nt Washington
aims to strike nil those indicted nt

Thero was no session of tlio grand
