DYNAMITE,
>
It Raised Ructions Before Nobel Learn
ed to Control It
Dynamite Is a Greek word for pow
der. Its chemical name to nitroglycerin.
It was discovered In a laboratory in
Paris by A. Sobrero In 1847, Sobrero
escaped death a hundred times by the
closest margin and was never able to
learn bow to handle the explosive with
any safety.
About 1855 Alfred Nobel, a Swedish
engineer, learned how to explode tbe
liquid by detonation. Nobel Bros, of
Hamberg that year sent a young man
to America to Introduce its use to min
ers. He met with no success, and a
tin can of the liquid left by him In a
New York hotel when thrown Into tbe
street wrecked tbe hotel. Injuring
many and causing tbe neighborhood to
rain glass.
It was known commercially at this
stage as “glonlon” and blew up by ac
cident a West Indies packet at Colon,
killing fifty people and destroying
prvjiert.v worth u inllllou dollars Then
Its use was prohibited by law. It will
burn ut certain temperatures if tbe
quantity Is small. When exploded it
Instantly expands 10,000 times; tbe
gases require 10,000 times tbe space
of the liquid.
At last Nobel learned to soothe and
quiet the liquid by causing It to be ab
sorbed In Infusorial eartb. It was this
preparation that In I860 was called dy
namite by Nobel. When It explodes
tbe force plunges first downward and
then rebounds upward. Unless confin

ities.—Louisville Courier-Journal.

Why the Kingdom oi God Should
Be Preached
Every person born since the re
surrection of Jesus Christ is a child
of the kingdom by virtue of the
cross.
If a child is born on American
soil it is an American, although it
might be brought up in a foreign
land, without ever having the fact
revealed to him.
The church is the opponent to the
kingdom of God, it undertakes to
accomplish by discipline, instead
of by natural birth, protestantism
iirotcst against the church, yet it is
ar more against the kingdom of
God than the church, if a man were
seeking the kingdom of God he had
better steer clear of a Protestant
Church entirely.
A person is baptised into the
church, but born into the kingdom,
hence we do not have to conform
to the church.
The proprietary interest of the
church naturally conflicts with the
preaching of the kingdom of God.
Why not reveal the fact to a child
instead of trying to impress the
need of salvation ?
I was taught that I was a poor
lost sinner, every winter 1 attended
revival meetings and listened to
the moral tale of woe. and to death
bed scenes, and hair breath escapes.
Why, a lunatie asylum is a relief
to such rotten nonsense. A child
hus all the nourishing food and
clothes it need, sent to school for a
learning, but shut out of the king
dom of God for the want of some
one to preach the gospel, the glad
tidings of the good news of the
kingdom of God.
