Doors on a
Copper-Clad Range
The doors of your old range
are red, rusty, ugly. The
Copper-Clad doors are
clean, bright, plain and pretty all the time.
Copper-Clad doors have two walls or panels; an
inner panel and an outer panel, with a big air space
between. . This air space saves the outer panel from
the heat, and it never burns red. With double
walled doors, a four-walled body, and an air space,
you can understand why the Copper-Clad is the best
heat-holding range known.
The small amount of fuel and the regularity of the
heat is a pleasant surprise to every buyer of a
Copper-Clad,— The World's Greatest Range.

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 1
SOME LAWS OF THE KINGDOM OF
GOD.
LESSON TEXTS—Luke 6:30-38 ; 21:1-4.
GOLDEN TEXT—Remember the words
of the Lord Jesus, how he said, it Is more
blessed to give than to receive.—Acts 20:
35.
DEVOTIONAL READING—II Corin
thians 9:6-15.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR
TEACHERS—Luke 16:9; Romans 12:8; II
Corinthians 9:6-15; Hebrews 13:16; Ezra 1:
2-4; I Chronicles 29:1-5.
The principles of ethics which shall
prevail in the earth when Jesus Christ
shall be king are entirely different
from those of the world. The worldly
spirit always inquires as to what gain
will accrue from an action or service.
Its policy is doing good for the sake
of getting good. Those who have been
made partakers of the divine nature,
who are really subjects of the king
dom, do good because they have the
nature and spirit of God, not because
they expect something in return.
I. Give to Every Man That Asketh
of Thee (v. 30).
This does not mean that any request
that may be made by the idle, greedy
and selfish should be granted. Oiiiy
evil would result from such indiscrimi
nate and unregulated giving. Such
benevolence would foster idleness arid
selfishness. Oftentimes the worst
tiring you can do for a man Is to give
him money. The drunkard will only
spend it for more drink; the gambler
will continue his dissipation. The
meaning then is, give to the one ask
ing the thing which he needs. The
man in poverty needs to be given a way
to earn his living, rather than to be
given money without the necessity of
labor. There is that in the human
heart which refuses charity, and
cries out for a means to horfestly gain
a livelihood.
If. Of Him That Taketh Away Thy
Goods, Ask Them Not Again (v. 30).
“Ask” here means demand. It doubt
less forbids the forcible demanding of
the return of that which has been
taken from one.
III. Do to Other Men as You Would
That They Should Do Unto You (vv
31-34).
This ethic puts life’s activities on
the highest possible ground. He does
not say, refrain from doing that which
you would not like to be done to you
ns even Confucius taught; but to pos
itively make the rule of your life the
doing to others as you would wish
them to do unto you. Loving those
who love us, doing good to those whe
do good to us, and lending to those
from whom we hope to receive, is jusl
what all the sinners of the world are
doing. The child of the kingdom o!
Christ is to be different.
IV. Love Your Enemies (v. 35).
That which is natural to the humar
heart is to hate the enemy. To love
in the real sense means to sincerely
desire the good of even one’s enemj
and willingness to do anything pos
sible to bring that good. Such actioi
is only possible to those who have
heen born again. Christ loved those
who hated him. He was willing evei
to die for his enemies.
V. Lend, Hoping for Nothing Agaii
(v. 35).
This is what the Heavenly Father i:
constantly doing. He is kind and gra
cions unto the unthankful and the
wicked. He sends his rain and sun
shine upon the unjust and sinners. He
makes fruitful the toil of those win
maspneme ms iiuiiiv. nc ^
cause it is his nature to so do.
VI. Be Merciful (v. 36),
The example for the imitation of thi
disciple is the Heavenly Father.
VII. Judge Not (v. 37).
To judge does not mean the placinf
of just estimates upon men’s action
and lives, for, “By their fruits ye shal
know them.” The tree is judged tv
the fruit it bears. The thorn tree doe
not hear figs, nor the apple tree bea
grapes. Our only way of dlscernim
the character of men and women h
their actions. That which is con
demfied is censorious judgment—th
impugning of motives.
VIII. Condemn Not (v. 37).
This means that we should not pas
sentence upon men for their acts, fo
to their own master they stand or fal
(Rom. 14:4). The real reason wh;
such action is not warranted is tha
the bias of our hearts and the limita
tion of our judgments render it im
possible to righteously and intelli
gently pass judgment.
IX. Forgive (v. 37.)
Those who forgive shall be forgiven
The one who has realized the forgiv
ing mercy of God will be gracious am
forgiving toward others.
XI. Liberality Determined by Wha
Is Left (Luke 21:1-4).
The rich cast into the treasury much
but it was from their abundance. Th'
poor widow cast in all that she had
there was nothing left. God estimate
a gift by what one has left, not b;
the size of the gift. To give the wid
ow’s mite is to give all. For the mil
lionaire to give the widow’s mite wouli
mean for him to give his millions.
Genius and Taste.
To say nothing of its holiness o
authority the Bible contains mon
specimens of genius and taste that
any other volume in existence.—Lan

VERY SUDDEN DEATH.
A little child of Mr. and Mrs. Geoi.
Doyle of Jacksonport, Ark., died very
suddenly in an automobile here last
Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Doyle and
children came here on a Missouri
Pacific train that afternoon to visit
relatives of whom they have many in
the county. They had just started
out in a car to visit an old neighbor
in the country, when Mr. Doyle no
ticed the little boy was sick. They
turned back to go to Dr. Parker’s of
fice across the railroad, but the lit
tle fellow was dead before they
reached the doctor. The child was
apparently ■well when put in the car
a few minutes before. The lifeless
little body was taken to the residence
of Mr. Dobbs, a friend on Main
street, and prepared for burial.
Quite a number of relatives and
friends called to express sympathy
for the bereaved parents.—Walnut

Deputy Marshal Ben Sandmon has
resigned his position here and ac
cepted a place as special agent for
the Missouri-Pacific railroad under
T. K. Jones, with headquarters at
Little Rock. His vacancy here has
not been filled, and there are several
applicants. Mr. Sandmon, who re
ceived the democratic nomination as
constable of this township at the re
cent primary election, says in the
event of his election to the office in
November he will return to Newport
January 1 and assume the constable’s
duties. Mr. Sandmon has rendered
splendid service as a Newport offi
cer, and his friends are glad that he
has received a more lucrative posi
tion, but will welcome his return to
assume the duties of constable, to
which office he will surely be elected
in November.
