AFTER DEATH

(By Walt Mason) I do not know just what may lap, when I go tumbling off the map, into the outer void; I hope to draw a pair of wings, and crown and robe, and kindred things, and harp of celluloid. But little do I walk the floor, or lose a chance to sleep and snore, by worrying my head about the things that may befall when I step off this whirling ball, and line up with the dead. I think I’ve all a man should need, in this, the simple little creed, that’s pasted in my lid: “With all your fellowmen be square; be kind and just to all, nor care a cent what others did.” If one is square and just and kind, I don’t believe he’ll be behind, when they distribute crowns; he’ll be a credit to this globe, and he will swap for snowy robe, his workworn handmedowns. Religion’s tangled, teased and vext, with dogma and conflicting text, by sages splitting hairs; and all that fellows really need is just that simple little creed, to climb the golden stairs.

EXCEPTIONS TO REPORT OF RECEIVER ARE FILED

Discrepancy of About $20,000 Is Alleged in Bank Failure Report. Fowler, Ind., June 9. —The long delay in closing up the affairs of the Baldwin-Dague banks of Fowler and Ambia, which failed about 10 years ago may be explained if certain papers filed in the Benton circuit

court are correct. William Elliott of Logansport was appointed receiver more than eight years ago and on account of the delay in closing up the affairs, Judge Pollard of Delphi was recently appointed special judge by Governor Ralston to succeed Judge Lairy of Logansport on the petition of W. H. Dague, president of the defunct banking institutions. Special Judge Pollard ordered the affairs of the banks closed up and also issued an order requiring the receiver to file his final report without delay, which was done at the last terra of court. The depositors of the Fowler bank have been paid in full and the depositors of the bank at Ambia have received nine dividends, but accord ing to the final report filed by the receiver there is not sufficient money (u hand- to pay the tenth and final dividend. - ?

W. T. Wilson, executor of the estate of Daniel P. Baldwin, one of the owners of the banks, has filed a bill of exceptions to the current and final reports in tlie- two bank case and alleges a cHscrepancy of about

szQJjpo. Exceptions to the report have also been filed by W. H. Dagu* and the items are about the same as iii the exceptions filed by Mr. Wilson. . . ■.> :

The bill of exceptions filed by Mr. Wilson for the Baldwin estate charges many errors of commission of charges and duplication of credits and erroneous credits appear in the reports and show much carelessness and indifferent work by the receiver, which will total more than $20,000. Objections are also made to the attorney fees allowed by Mr. Elliottto .McConnell, Jenkins, Jenkins & Stuart. They have received $6,050 for their services rendered the receiver, which is alleged to be far in excess, of what their services were actually worth, and asks that a full investigation of the services rendered by the attorneys and the allowances be considered, and that the attorneys be allowed only such sums as the services actually rendered were worth to the trust. Objections are also made to the allowance of $6,826.50 to the receiver and they ask that this amount be reduced one-half.

The bill of exceptions filed by W. H. Dague alleges a discrepancy of $20,G00, and goes on to say that it will require $2 0,0 00 more money than the receivers of the Goodland bank, another of the Baldwin-Dague chain of banks, which failed at about the same time as the Fowler and Ambia banks, have on hand to pay the depositors in full, and ask? that Receiver Elliott of the Fowler bank pay the remaining money in his hands as the court may determine, to E. G. Hall, Henry T. Griggs and Lawrence A. Wiles, receivers of the Goodland bank.

Judge Pollard, yesterday, entertained a motion of Mr. Wilson for a change of venue, but denied it, and said he would hear the case himself. He set the date for the hearing of the bill of exceptions for Saturday, jm y i-

A New Farm Tool.

Frank A. Baker of this city and his brother Peter of Logansport are the inventors of a drag that is said by many to be a very desirable farm tool, taking the place of a harrow, a roller, a stalk breaker and an ordinary log drag. They have built only a couple of the implements, but have secured patent papers and now contemplate steps to get the device on the market.

It is quite simple, consisting of a frame much like a harrow frame. On the lower part of this are what look like the rims of seven cornplanter wheels, all lying flat. These are spread over the frame to a width and length of eight or nine feet, so alternated that the full width of the ground covered is touched by several of the rims. Of course, it is the lower edge of the rim that does the cutting and leveling. Many who have seen the device declare that it is a thingy needed on every farm, and it is further stated that nothing similar is on the market. —Pulaski County Democrat.

WE REAP WHAT WE SOW

Galatian* 6:1-10—June LL i Not the World, but the Church—Poor Soil and Involuntary Weeds Hereditary—Sowing Represents a Voluntary Act and Personal Responsibility. What Is Sowing to the Flesh?—What Is It to Sow to the Spirit?—What Shall the Harvest Be?

"God not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."—Verse 7. IT is true that every person has a responsibility for his every wilful act and word. It is true in a sense that every human being will have a harvest considerably in accord with his own wilful course in life. Evidently, therefore, every human being could profit from the words of our Golden Text and receive a blessing in proportion as he would follow the spirit of that text, r,

However, we are not to forget thaf the Apostle is addressing, not the worldly, but the saintly—the Church, which is composed .exclusively of persons who have left the world, turned thenbacks upon sin, accepted the Lord Jesus as their Savior and Advocate with the Father, and consecrated their lives unreservedly to the doing of the Father’s will. Such, begotten of the Holy Spirit, are in the Bible styled New Creatures in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17.) To these, “old things have passed away; all things have become new’’—new hopes, new aims, new ambitions, new prospects, new standards. According to the Bible, God has great and precious provisions for the

world in the future, but not How. Now the Chu rc h of Christ is being selected from the world, to constitute the Royal Family of the future, when completed and perfected by the First Resurrection. Then this Royal Family, as God's Kingdom, will deal with the

world of mankind, ruling, instructing, uplifting, blessing all the willing and obedient. Then the world will have its chance for sowing and reaping

The Soil and the Seed. The Christian’s heart is consecrated soil from the time when God accepts him as a child. Under Divine instructions special flowers and fruits are to be cultivated, styled fruits and graces of the Holy Spirit. All Christians obedient to the Voice from Heaven are seeking to eradicate the weeds of sin and selfishness, which spring naturally in their flesh because of heredity. Originally, Father Adam's flesh was perfect. The weeds of sin had not been planted. But now there is no pure soil; sin-weeds are everywhere. Every Christian who would have the consecrated garden of his heart fruitful, pleasing to the Lord, must wage a vigorous and continual battle against the weeds of sin, in order that his heart may be in condition to receive the good seed commended in the Divine Word. He must also battle against the thorns—the cares of life and the deceitfulness of riches, which would choke the Word and make the life unprofitable.—Matthew 13:22. The Christian who would receive the Master's “Well done!’’ must be very diligent in the sowing of the proper seeds in his heart. Acts, words and thoughts are the good seeds; and they must be sown persistently. They will yield the peaceable fruits of righteousness—meekness, patience, gentleness, long suffering, brotherly kindness, love. —2 Peter 1:5-11. It is important that we sow good seed; and there is just one storehouse from which this is supplied—the Word of God. Whoever keeps this seed pure, free from contamination with worldly wisdom—“science falsely so-called’’— and from traditions of men—creeds—is best prepared to produce fruits and flowers of the Master's approval. What It Is to Sow to the Flesh. A mistake made by some of God's people is that of sowing to the flesh.

Pulling Garden Weeds.

in the pursuit of pleasure, of earthly things or of earthly riches, whether successful or not, is sowing to the flesh. The tendency of all such neglect of the Christian’s covenant with God is toward corruption—death. Let us exhort one another to sow to the Spirit—in accord with the glorious promises of God. which we have accepted and to which we should be bending every energy in the development of the fruits of the Spirit, The Apostle urges that each Christian bear his own burden rather than to lean on the brethren; and that while seeking to do for ourselves, we« should be tender-hearted toward each other, yea, toward all men. If we find a brother of the Household of Faith overtaken in a fault, we should show our own spirituality in the manifestation of the spirit of meekness and kindness (toward him, remembering that we ourteelves might some time be overtaken In a fault. Our standing in Christ is not because of human perfection, but because of proper wills, good intentions, fully consecrated hearts.

Sowing Garden Seeds.

after having agreed to sow merely to the Spirit—in harmony with God’s will. Sowing to the flesh does not mean a thorough rebellion against the Lord, but rather the procurement and the sowing of bad seed —unprofitable seed. The spending of time, energy, money, etc.,
