Rhamo as State bank examiner for expenses during the month of March. B. J. Rhame was dismissed several days ago by the governor and Hugh "Wilson Fraser appointed to his place. Mr. Rhame refused to give up the of fice. In his petition for mandamus Mr. Rhame says that "he is the bank examiner of the State of South Carolina. under the laws of said State, having been duly appointed and. commissioned to the said office and has been and still is engaged in the discharge of the duties of the said offiC9." It is stated in the petition that during March the expenses of the office was $51.95 and that the State treasurer has refused to pay this amount upon presentation of the claim.

Philadelphia, April 13.?The primary election in Pennsylvania resulted in a landslide for Col. Roosevelt. As the returns continue to come in the victory for Roosevelt adherents becomes more apparent. Of the 64 delegates elected in the 32 districts, fully 50 are pledged to voted for Roosevelt. A.dded to this is the probability that the Republican State convention, which will choose 12 delegates at large to the national convention, will be controlled by the Roosevelt element, insuring at least 62 delegates for Roosevelt from this State.

JESUS NOW A SPIRIT kin inuncD ricou HU LUIlUtn TLLOII It Was His Soul That Died, His Soul That Was Resurrected, Pastor Russell, In Baltimore, Exploded a Theory Which Has Been Held Tenaciously by Many Theologians?Second of a Remarkable Series of Sermons on the Resurrection. rawniiiia Baltimore. Md., day we ^s^sseJ j ((PASTOR. ?li55?LGj the fact of the ??? ., q T, ^ 1COU11CV.UVU, u u u showed from St. Paul's words that without God's purpose of a resurrection those who have fallen asleep in death would have perished as brutes. You will recall also that we demon; strated that it is not the body, but the soul, that is promised a resurrection?that it was our Lord's soul that went to sheol, to hades, to the death state, and that God raised Him from death on the third day. We noted a | difficulty into which all Christendom : was plunged by the theory that it is 1 the body that is to be resurrected. What Went to Heaven? The ordinary thought in Christian I minds in respect to Jesus' death and resurrection is that when He seemed to die He did not die; that he, the be-1 ing, the soul, could not die; that, in- j i stead. He went to heaven, and then on ' the third day came back to get the , body which had been crucified; that Fie I took it to heaven forty days later marred with the print of the nails iu j i His hands and feet, the thorns upon His brow and the spear mark in His j i side. What a ghastly thought! Our Methodist friends have not yet ; changed their statement of the matter, j namely, "He ascended up on high, taking His fleshly body with Him, and alM that appertained thereto, and sat down , ! on the right hand of God." This medieval statement correctly admits that the fleshly body was not the Lord's, but that He, the soul, took it with Him ! as luggage. The statement, "Ana an that appertained thereto," presumably refers to sanda/s, walking stick, etc. All this is of a piece with the theory that the saints when they die go to heaven, and then, later, come back an& i get their bodies "and all things apper| taining thereto"?the inconveniences, J presumably, that they have been rici of for centuries! How many trunk loads of "things appertaining thereto" may be taken by some is not stated. What Say the Scriptures? The Bible presentation of this sub^ ject is every way reasonable, con sistent and harmonious. St. Paul points out that "There is a natural body and I there is a spirit body." He does not mean, and be does not say, that the : spirit body is a human body glorified i Quite to the contrary. He declares that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God"?no matter how glorified it might be. A human being would be so totally different from a spirit being that, as St. Paul says, "It ' doth not yet appear what we shall be" : ?in our change?and the Scriptures do I orpn nttemDt to give an explanation. j The Bible merely declares that as vre i now bear the image of the earthy (Adam), we shall, by the glorious resurrection change, be given a share iD the nature and likeness of the Second Adam, our glorious Lord: "We shall be like Him. and see Him as He is"? and, be it note'!, we must change from fiesli and blood conditions to spirit con! ditions by resurrection power, in order ! that we may see Him as He is. He Appeared and Disappeared, j Two lines of difficulties now present themselves, one of which can be an | swered. and the other cannot. The j unanswerable difficulty is where a nati ural minded man undertakes to reason > Pnni pvnlains this. ; ID6 SUUJCCI, uuv. v->. , j saying, "The natural man receiveth not ,; the things of the Spirit of God. neither : | can he know them, because they are | spiritually discerned." The Apostle proceeds (verses 3G-oO) to tell us that all men are natural men, ' except such as have been begotten by | the IIolv Spirit. All natural men will, -: in their resurrection, receive earthly or 1 human bodies, while all spiritual ones, _ New Creatures in Christ, will receive ? i spirit bodies. ' | Coming to the point of what is to be i resurrected, we note that our Lord ap} peared in a body of flesh, and showed 3 the disciples the print of the nails and j the hole made by the spear. But we, perhaps, failed to note that only twice did He thus appear, and but for a few moments each time. His other six or seven appearances during that forty days were also very brief, and in vari J ous bodies?once as a gardener, anothei , time as a traveler, His third time as a 2 j stranger on the shore, and to Saul ol j Tarsus as a spirit being of more than angelic brightness?"shining above the j brightness of the sun at noonday." s Now we see more distinctly why oui _ | Lord did as lie did. His disciples were - J natural men and therefore coma uoi -! appreciate spiritual things. The Lore s1 adopted the only reasonable way ol 11 helping them to understand that H( e vrns no longer dead?that He had riser i from the dead. i NO SIR, I CAN'T GET APPENDICITIS | ? *: ; I Eat All !
