Revival Services At The Chris
tian Church.
Mr. Taylor’s two sermons yes
terday were perhaps the best yet
preached during the protracted
services.
In the morning his subject was
‘Immortality”. His text was ta
cen from Job 14:14, ‘‘If a man
lie, shall he live again?” Many
sxceedingly beautiful passages
’rom the great poets and others
)f the world’s scholars and deep
Linkers, were quoted as ex
jressing the belief in eternal
lie. uut set over against tne
Dvely imagery of the poets’ word
lictures were the plain facts of
science, which facts also give
strong evidence on the side of
i life beyond the grave.
Many strong proofs of the im
nortality of the soul were thus
•ead from the pages of science.
Again, the inner consciousness
>f man was called upon to testi
‘y of the indestructibility of
nan, for implanted within every
ireast is a natural love of life, a
latural desire for eternity which
s one of the most certain proofs
hat if a man die he shall live
igain.
But best of all, the word of
Jod, itself, was cited as in itself
iroof of life eternal. The old
restament records, speaking
hrough the mouths of patri
irchs and prophets, witness for
he immortality of man. Then
here are the teachings of Jesus
Jimself, all of which are based
ipon the idea that man will live
igain—after all the fitful dreams
tnd all the trials and triumphs of
;his life are over.
The testimony of the Angel
it the tomb was: “I know that
^e seek Jesus, which was cruel
led; He is not here; for he is
'isen, as He said.” Again it is
vritten that because He has ris
V« ...A aIaa nltnll uinA 4- A
sllf fV t UU7V OlllW* XIWV VV jiw ••
>f life, and to the apostle John
:ame the words of the risen, as
lended and glorified Redeemer,
T am alive forevei’more ”
In the evening Mr. Taylor spoke
?rom the sbject,“Why are you
lot a Christian ?” In a very ear
lest, but kindly way, he answer
ed many of the excuses people
afive for not coming into the
ehurch. He showed that there
are no real reasons why men
and women should not obey the
loving call of the Savior, but
mere excuses which are the
whisperings of Satan tempting
them to neglect or to refuse the
way of Salvation.
The meetings will continue ev
ery evening this week. All who
will come, will be cordially wel
comed at each service.

TO STUDY
BANKING LAW!
Bank Commissioner Visits Oth

of His Work.
j Special to Independent.
I --
Little Rock, Oct. 27.—Ban!
| Commissioner John M. Davis
and his deputy, J. D. Covey, left
Little Rock Sunday night for s
ten days’ trip to Missouri, Kan
sas and Oklahoma, where the\
will study the banking laws and
departments of those states.
The Missouri banking law is
i somewhat similar to that of Ar.
kansas and the officials of the
new state department will spend
most of the time in Jefferson
City. They will also devote a
portion of the time in Topeka to
study the blue sky department,
j for the Arkansas bank examiner
jh'as charge of that department
! in this state.

ture of the state banking law.
As the labor interests are to in
itiate a bank guaranty act, Com
missioner Davis feels that he
might as well look into the mat
ter now and not have to make a
trip later. Should the project be
defeated, there will be nothing
lost, for the officials go to Okla
homa City anyway to look into
the manner in which the state
banking department is handled.

There are only three if the cir

are only three circuses carrying

gives its Wild West performance
in the hippodrome track. The

MANY FARMS
OFFERED ST AIE
\s Result ol Penitential)
Hoard's Proposal for Piireha.se
ol Ynother (Timid Farm.
Special t ' sdep-.-ndent.
Little Lock, Oct- l27. — OUT rs
of farms all classes are being
received by the board of peniten
tiarv commissioners, and those
offered are in all parts of the
state. The bids will be opened
by the board in its monthly meet
ing Saturday, but the contract
tor a farm will not be entered in
to before the first of December,
or the first of the year.
The commissioners are requir
ing the people who have a body
of land of the size wanted by the
state for working white convicts
to limit themselves to soil that
has not been worn out. The
commissioners desire land that
aon lia ImTa Ault L 1.
tuv-r \ v « i i i > « I L 1 ' M I M11V.11
it is cleared, declaring that it
would take too long to build the
land up to the standard required
by the state.
Most of the farms offered are
along the Iron Mountain rail
road, either directly north and
south of Little Rock, or on the
Pine Bluff and Fort Smith
branches.
Already there is heard some
unfavorable comment on the
proposed purchase of a farm
upon which to work the white
convicts, but it is nothing like
that which followed the pur
chase ofthe present state farm
which has turned out to be one
of the best investments the
state ever made.
The new farm will be used
mainly for the cultivation of
cotton, with a slight rotation of
crops sufficient to keep up the
land.
