Last Saturday afternoon on the

the game was hard fought. Fowler,

the flood in the Mississippi Valley if
now over and the residents oi jnow
nriannn feel secure asrainst the dan
gers that threatened a few weeks ago
according to information received
from Charles F. buck, uepuiy 01
Supreme Council in Louisiana.
R. nroora nf the river have aub-
1UC " " " ,
sided and it is felt .that the worst i?
over, he writes. There has not Doeo
at any time a drop of river water on
the east bank of the Missippi Rivr,
except at the crevasse humanly made
at Caernarvon, some twenty nmea u
low this city. The great damage to
Louisiana arises from the breaks in
several levees in the northeast portion
of the state, on the west bank of the
river, which has caused the flooding
of the Tensas Basin, the Teche and
Atchafalaya Districts, inundating mil
lions of acres of the richest and most
fertile soil in the Stat eof Louisiana,
and causing misery and suffering to
ii a tVinimnnHii of the peo-
pie, and at present the extent of the
damage is not known.
The National American Red Cross,
he continues, is thoroughly organized
and doing wonderful work for the
relief nf the sufferers. The Masonic
Relief Committee is likewise mwv
ughly organized, and working, thru
the Grand Master of the State of
Louisiana, with committees composed
of Blue Lodge and Scottish Rite Ma
sons, in the stricken area. It is at

damage that has been done, or to fore

t somnd nomine of Christ seems
to be the center ot Wtction' abore
almost every other WBV;
ble today, and strange ttf .say', f olki in
general seem to knor less about Vt
than the other subjects of the Bible
so commonly discussed among J;ne
people of this age. The Teason of so
flAnfuoinn nun misuiiuotDuuiu-
1I1UVI1 , m
ing of the Biple today is Decause w
the human construction piacea on
the word of God. Ana tne genorai
idea among the folks now is that ev
ery man has his own right to his own
way of thinking and a right to his
own opinion. Peter tells us m the
Word of Uoa tnat tne scnptuicD
r,n nrivnte interDretation. Here is
where the whole world, almost, has
made the greatest mistaKe, ana nas
tone into almost total darkness. Poo-
pie say ii you inmn a tnuig u nR
then it is right, and you will be saved
on believing the same. Ican t see
anything in the Word of God to bear
this idea up. I know the Bible says,
As a man thinketh in h heart so is
he, and this means if you or 1 think
evil in our neans we w
are righteous, for no man, could have
ar erighteous, for no mad conldhave
a good thought in life without God
would help him. My text, Be ye also
patient ; stablish your hearts ; for the
coming of the LORD draweth nigh
Jas. 6:8. No man is eafe -in setting
a day or hour in which Jesus will
make his second appearing, as some
have already unwisely, done.'J We can
safely say accordingly aswe aee the
signs of the times being fulfilled and
according to the language f the text,
that the coming of the Lord draweth
nigh. Jesue said that, no man knows
the day nor the hour, no, not the an
gels of heaven, but W Father only.
