Names Are Written In Heaven.”
ITonolulu, .
waii. December 17,
-As our ship near
e¢d your beautiiul
island 1 thought
hick a century to
the time when
these istinds were
uancivilized Iteall
ed to my miud the
text. “Who haih

———— Shall the eagth be
made to bring forth in one day? Sbhali
a nation be born at once?’—Isaiah
Ixvi, 8 |\
Then 1 thouzht of how your island
has been styled the “Paradise of the
Pacific.”” The reality surpasses my
expectations. Yet as I think of the
. glorious conditions which the Bible
tells us shall prevail throughout the
whole earth under Messiah's Kingdom,
I perceive that even the “Paradise of
the Pacific” falls far short of the “Par
adise of God.”
God has dcclared that the earth is
His footstool, and that in due time un
der Messiah's Empire. e will make
the place of His fect glovious.
The Last Enemy Death.
It I8 because God his already dealt
bountifully with your island and given
you in advance munuy of these bless
ings promisoed to the whoie earth that
vour island is styled a Paradise. Nev
ertheless. you all need to pray with
the remainder of mankind for the com
ing of the Kingdom of Messith and its
blessings—*Thy Kingdem come, Thy
will be done on earth as it is done in
heaven.”
Your cemeteries were early in evi
dence telling us that Lere, too, in this
Paradise, men die. Your hospital and
physicians’ sigus tell us that here, too
men are sick. But in the Paradise
whias God has promised to establish
li‘ Messial's Kingdow. the inhab
itants will not say. “I am sick.” " Ulti
mately there will be no more sighing.
no more dying. and no more crying
because all the former things of sin
and death will have passed away and
He that shall €it upon the throne will
make all things new. (Rev. xxi, 4, 5.)
The Holy Nation Born.
Pastor Russell expounded his text, |
showing by the context that it refers
to the resurrection of the Church, He
declared that the begetting of the
Holy Spirit in the present life consti
tutes God's people embryo new creia
tures in Chlrist; that this begetting
and embryo development, according to
the Scriptures, concludes in death.
and that the resurrection moment, lhc\
attainment of glory. honor and immor- |
tality as spirit beings beyond the veil
will be the birth of this new vrr:!li..n‘
of God—the e¢lect Church—*the Bride.
the Lamb's wife.” |
Pastor Russell pointed to the declara |
tion of the Apostle that Jesus in ITis
resurrection became the “Ilirst-horn
from the dead.” “the First-horn amon;
many brethren™ who attain a similar
resurrection, and who are, therefore,
said to share in His resurrection. |
Our text points us down (o lhcl
thousan«-year day of Messinh's King
dom—the day so long foretold—the day
of carth’s blessing, in which the “Sun
of Righteousness™ will scatter the
darkness of sin and bring blessings to
all mankind. It is the Psalmist \\'ho‘
tells us that the Church wiil be bless- |
ed of the Lord in that glorious day.

we read, “God will help her right ear-

That privileged time in which the
Church will be belped. in which she
will be passed from earthly conditions
to heavenly conditions, is in our text
gpoken of #s her birthday. St Peter
tells us that the Church is the Holy

“Is there,” cried I, *“in Bethlehem
A King shall wear this diadem?”
*“Good sooth,” they quoth, *“and it is he -
That shall be lifted on the tree
And freely shed on Calvary

The wise men came and brought the crown,
And, while the infant smiling slept.
Upon their knees they fell and wept,
But with her babe upon her knee, .
Naught recked that Mother of the tree

What burthen saveth all and me.

Back from a Trip to California
Mr. T. W. Jenkins arrived in Jules- |
burg last week after having made al
visit to various points in California, l
and a great deal of his trip, if put un‘
paper would sound like a fairy story to
us who live in a section of the country |
where we are blessed with all of the
necessities, if not theluxuries of life |
Mr. Jenkins first visit was made to
Blythe City, about forty miles north of
the Imperial valley ia southern Califor
nia. This town is about 45 miles ‘rom |
the Santa Fe railroad, and 63 miles |
from the Southern Pacific railroad,
‘and he made the trip overland from the
Santa Fe with freighters, taking two!
days to make the journey over mount- |
‘ains and through sand and dust that !
was almost unbearable, sleeping two
night under the mesquite bushes and!
on the sand. Blythe City is a desert
town where a white man can hardly |
exist from June until September on l
account of malaria, heat and little]
insectsthat sing and sting you all night, |
‘The town is in a valley about 10 milos]
‘wide and 20 miles long. It's necarest|
lruilrou(l in 45 miles, and Tom suys‘
“‘this isa good place to hide if your |
iconscivm‘u troubles you.”’ There is nu'
| water between Blythe and the railroads |
| except what is hauled by the [rvi;:hh-rsl
lin barreis and left at s#ations six miles
apart. This water is for drinking I
lpllr[msvs only. and a man must provide
water for his animals outside of tlwsol
Ismlions, and he says that ‘how the |
freighters live year after year wnere |
ilh«_v arc always covered with dust and
I.~nnd is beyond him; that you m‘v:-r:s«-e‘
a man in that country without a canteen
| of water on his burro, or on his shoulder |
l forwithout it means certain death. ‘
From Elythe he took the adto stage tul
IGlorna;; on the southern Pacific, then
by rail to Los Angeles, where he stayed |
!fiw- days; thence to San Francisco for
| two days’ stop, after which he returned
l to the best country on earth, ¢ Colorado.
| He had a very interesting trip, full
of new experiences, but after having
‘thcsv experiences, he is satisfied that
| Colorado and Sedgwick County is good
{ enough for him.
To Beet Growers
| THE GREAT WESTERN SUGAR
I('()MI'ANY ADOPTS SLIDING
.S(.‘AI.E FOR THE JULESBURG
I DISTRICT.
I The beet growers of the Julesburg
| distriet will welcome with pleasure the
| annonneement that the Great western
.Sl]g;\l" Company have adopted the slid
| ing zcale tor this district. The ques
| tion of the price of beets has agitated
'tlu- farmer and caused the Sugar
l(‘(m;;;any a great deal of worry and
{ thought, and we sec no reason now
|why both parcies should not be entirely
ls;xlisfiml. We give herewith the scale
{as adopted by the Company.
! Beets showing 12 to 14 per cent, $5.00
| per tor.
: Beets showing 14 to 143 per cent,
| $5.124 per ton.
| Beets showing 143 to 15 per cent, 85,25
I per ton.
| Reets showing 15 to 152 per cent £5.50
; per ton.
[ Beet showing 152 to 16 per tent %5,624
g per ton. :
i and for cach one-Laif per cent gain
fabove 16 per cent, an additional 124
i;u-r ton will be paid. The Company,
Uin addition to the above prices will
! pay 75 cents per ton for siloed beets,
i with the distinet understading that the
| *+silo™ clause will be strietly enforced.
. The farmers will notice that these !
;m'iccs are decidedly in advance of the
! flat rate of $5.00 per ton, for instance
| this year beets averaging 15 to 153 per
{ cent were paid a flat rate of $5.00, |
[ while under the new schedule these |
! same beets will bring $5.50, and beets }
l testing 174 per cent will bring $6.00 ||(‘l'l
!lnn. These prices, in addition to the!
| fuct that beet seed does not have to
i be paid for until the crop is harvested
!and the fact the Great Western Sugar |
i('omp:my will seil beet growers fori
"next year alfalfa meal at cost and
| carry them until beet harvest ought to
‘mnml u large increase of acreage for
i the coming year. With the sliding|
scale in effect the farmers ought lu!
wealize the necessity of building up!
their beat ground, and this can be done |
in no better way than by seeding ZAL‘
falfa; and with pleaty of water in sight |
we are sure our farmers will see fit to
seed a considerable of their land this
spring to alfalfa.
