1925 THE DAY.
Preacher Naties 1925 as Resur
rection Date.
"God's clock of the ages has
struck the hour for the setting up
of his long promised kingdom on
earth in 1925. Many now living
in this city will live to welcome
their loved ones as they will be
called forth from the tombs ere
long," declared W. E, van Am
burgh, of Brooklyn, N. Y speak
ing in the interest of the Interna
tional Bible Students' association
yesterday at Odd Fellows hall.
He cited many scriptures and
facts from current conditions in
support of his belief in the reality
of the resurrection. His address
in pari was as follows:
"Bible chronology gives the date
of 1914 as the beginning of the
overthrow of the Old World, and
we are witnesses to that, so it gives
1925 the date for the inauguration
of earth's jubilee, for the freedom
of all peoples of earth, living and
dead, Zachariah viii:8-9, and Mat
thew xxiv:21-22 show conclusive
ly that many will live through this
stress. Reasonable deduction from
the mass of evidence should con
vince us that many now living in
this city will live to see these things
completely fulfilled and will be
here to welcome their loved ones
as they will be called forth from
the tombs ere long.
"The signs of the approach of
"Thy Kingdom Come' were to be
a World war followed by the great
pestilences, famines and earth
quakes. We are witness (hat these
things have already come, and that
we are still in the throes of distress.
Daniel tells us that when Christ
shall assume control, knowledge
would be vastly increased and
there would be much running to
and fro. Today knowledge is in
creasing along every line of science
so rapidly that old dogmas, creeds
and theories lie around like dead
men upon a battle field, unburied
and offensive, and people are trav
eling everywhere in all manner of
machines as foretold by Nahum
ii:3 4.'' Springfield Republican.

Some one seni the editor of the
Poketown Gazette a few bottles of

received for publication a wedding
announcement and a notice of an
auction sale. Here are the re
sults; Mr. Smith and Miss Ola Ander

presence of aboui seventy guests,
including milch cows, six mules
and one bob sled. Jackson lied

hay rope and the bridal couple left

WHEN WEARY WILLIE SCORED.
Uncle Isaac Was Just a Little Bit
Too Emphatic in His Verdict
Concerning Coat,
Weary Willie slouched inio the
pawn-shop.
"How much will you give me
for this overcoat?" he asked, pro
ducing a faded but neatly mended
garment.
Isaac looked at it critically.
"Four dollars," he said.
"Why," cried Weary Willie,
"that coat's worth $ 1 0 if it's worth
a penny!"
"I wouldn't give you $10 for
two like ihat," smiled Isaac. "Four
dollars or nothing."
"Are you sure that's all it's
worth?" asked Willie.
"Four dollars." repeated Isaac,
"Well, here's your $4," said
Weary Willie. "This overcoat
was hangin' outside yer shop, and
I was wonderin' how much it was
really worth."

Beggar Woman Had Her Own
Point of View Concerning
"Business" She Was Engaged
In.
Secretary Lawson Purdy of the
Charily Organization society said
at a dinner in New York:
"Professional beggars are a self-
righteous crew. What I mean is
that they regard their trade the
same as you and I regard honest
work. One winter afternoon I
came on a beggar woman I knew
of old. She was begging in a bit
ter .wind on a corner, and three
little children in calico rags shiv
ered at her side.
" 'You Jane,' I said reproach
fully. You begging! And those
three little ones! They aren't real
ly yours at all!'
" 'Well, damitall, said the beg
gar woman. 1 wouidn t nave io
beg so hard if ihey were really
mine, for then I wouldn't be fork

them.' "

"Time after time since the outbreak

made a brave attempt to cultivate their
liiiul. And time alter time Some new
disorder has prevented them from gather

before the grain has ripened and been
gathered in.
"After two years of American relief
activity it seemed last till as il we would
be able to reduce our program in Russian
Armenia to the care of the children we
h id g tthercd into our orphanages. But
then r. me the new invasion, crops were
trampled dnwn in the fields, live stock
Was carried otF. and the peasant population
were driven from their homes.
We may rrnt be able to save all of the

desert the lumdrt-d thousand orphan
children w ho are now in ..ur orphanages

when our supplies ran low, 3.000 of these
children died out of a tot I of 20.000 in
one of our orphanages. These children
are absolutely dependent upon aid from
America and will perish if our aid is

Next year, If further chaoe ctn be
