B CLASS OF '06, GEORGE SEDALIA, To the contemplative mind nature's great book lies easily open. As one walks out under the open sky and listens to the silent music of spheres, or sits in the solitude of the desert and sniffs the wasting fragrance of blooming flowers, or stands upon some snow crowned craig and viewa landscapes, woods and cultivated fields, a multitude of questions come rushing to his mind. What are all these? And whence came they? Who is their maker and what is his relation to them? What am I and my relation to these things and to my maker? These questions have occupied the greatest minds of the ages and in their attempts to answer them have originated the various systems of philosophy. We shall not attempt to review the conclusions of the philosophers concerning these vital questions nor shall we undertake to answer them all, but let us confine ourselves to the question, what is nature? And what am I and my relation to it and to God? Or the relation and characteristics of nature and personality. That the material universe exists all grant. How or whence it came we need not discuss here. Whether it was made from nothing or is an emination from God, or is uncreated, ever-existing, or was envolved from a pre-existing fiery-mist or nebulous cloud, the material universe exists. When man woke up in the cradle of the infant world he beheld shining spheres, revolving planets, succeeding days and nights. As he surveyed that paradise of his primeval home he found flowing rivers, blooming flowers, growing --- trees with their luxurious fruits. All these were here. If it were asked ho $ \pi $ they came the answer might be given these are the products of nature. As man beholds the visible creation, be it the sluggish clod, or yon distant star; the invisible air or a sensible cloud, as man beholds the work of God's fingers, he is forced to the conclusion, "I am not this, nor that, nor all I see, I am simply I myself." The first great fact, the first distinguishing characteristic of personality is self-grasp. This at once lifts man above the material universe. He is the only creature that attains to this element of personality. He is the only one that can hold himself in such complete severance, so distinctly and steadily in the lime-light of self-consciousness that he can think his way clear around himself. Tennyson has beautifully expressed the truth in a passage of "In memorian" "The baby new to earth and sky, What time his tender hand is pressed? Against the circle of the breast, Has never thought that "This is I." But as he grows he gathers much And learns the use of "I and me;" And finds "I am not what I see And other than the things I touch;" So rounds he to a separate mind From whence clear memory may begin, And thru the frame that bind him in His isolation grows defind."

Others are subscribing for the SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSESTA TOR. Can you afford to be left behind? But when he realizes that he is other than the things he touches, at the same time and by the act he discovers that he is something different, something more. There is something peculiar in himself. And as Dr. Curtis has well said, "We just now hear the breaking surf of the mighty deep of moral concern" unable to perceive any peculiarity in himself man could never compare himself with an ideal. In the further contemplation of nature as man notes her multi-form operations, he discovers a marked difference between nature and personality. Nature is under law, personality is free. Whatever is accomplished in nature is by necessity. The sun moves, worlds revolve, stars and comets sweep through boundless space all in perfect harmony by the laws of gravitation. Mountains are upheaved and soas are turned into dry land by the forces of levity over coming gravitation. Elements unite in definite fixed proportions making the various chemical compounds, by the law of atomic affinity. Nor can it be other wise that it is. When the expansive forces beneath the earth over come gravitation there is but one thing for it, the surface must rise. Under the same conditions given elements always unite in the same proportions. Not only is inorganic nature under law, but organic nature as well. Plants grow according to the law of their vital forces. Existinct, appetite, desire, natural affection are the laws by which the lower animals are guided. Whether the horse drinks or not depends on whether or not he be thirsty. Of two articles of food set before him which he will eat depends upon the one that appeals more strongly to his appetite. With the lower animals there is no choice, there is no will all is law. But when we rise to the sphere of human life there is a world-wide difference. In nature there are antecedents and consequences, but man in his personality is a cause. Man exerts force. Man puts forth energy. He knows himself as doing this. Events occur in nature by necessity. Man determines the cause and course of events. Dynamite will raise anything it happens to be under when it explodes; man chooses the thing to be raised. He even combines the elements which make the explosive, determines the work to be done, the time of its occurance and calculates the consequences. He puts the dynamite under the stone he desires to remove and by an act of his own will causes it to explode, makes the excavation, builds his house, constructs his railroad. Mature is unvarying. The dove builds her nest just as she did in Noah's Ark. The bee constructs the cell of its honey comb just as it did before the flood. There is no improvement, no progress, but with man, each generation gathering up the experiences of the past and adding the greater intelligence of the present, leads on to perfection. Thus the mud huts of London have been replaced by her present palaces. The metropolitan press marks the improve'ent upon Gutenburg's wooden blocks. Even nature her self is improved under the superv'ion of intelligent personality. Whencs came the seedless apple, the seedless orange? Are not these the expression of personality? We read of the earth's fossil page of the pre historic horse an insignificant dwarf no larger than a fox, but man has iimproved the stock to theheavy draft-horse of the street drap or Dan Patch of the race track. Again as a free spirit, free to choose to choose his own consecr and will his own acts and make his own decision, teers arises in man a feeling of obligation and responsibility. Standing as he does above the material creation, and having dominon over the whale earth-dominion both by delegation and achievements—man feel his masterful self obligation. The heir of God and the priest of the world, true to his delagated authority he has subdued nature. He has tamed the beast of the field and forest even the serpent which beguiled him. He has bridged the ocean, turned the course of rivers, harnessed the lightnings. In these higher endowments is the ground of man's moral obligation. His physical nature reaches down into all that is beneath him. He is in league with the stones of the field and akin to the beast, physically man is like beast underlaw. But for rational and spiritual endowment he would be dominated by the same laws which reign in the brute creation. Instinct, appetite, desire would lead him along the low and gravling path of sensual existence—the bond slaves of the flesh and servant of sin. Nor does the endowment of reason free him from the conflict the of flesh. While he lives in this dusty territorial tabernacle there will ever be war between the law in his member and the law in his mind. But by rational endowment man can always set the excellency of his spirit over against any every temptation to act unworthy of a rational personality. By spiritual endowment man holds communion with unseen and from the God of all grace receives strength to overcome in the battles of life. With out that endowment he would fail and die in grim defeat. Lastly, personality implies responsibility. When a man has conquered nature; subdued kingsdoms; quenced the violence of fire stopped the mouths of the lions; harnessed the lightnings; scanned the heavens he concludes with Selkirk: "I am monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute; From the center all to the sea I am lord of the fowl and the brute." But as he stands tryumphant up on the mountain of boundless conquest he hears a voice above the dinclamor of his victorious battl's Decoration Day WILL SOON BE HERE Mark the Graves of Your Departed Loved Ones.

Kahrs as a candidate for constable of Sedalia township on the republican ticket. From his past experience, we are persuaded to believe that he will make an able and conscientious officer, if nominated and elected. It may besaid that he is a Sedalia product, since he has spent 33 years of his life in continuous residence in this city. During that time he has had 6 years experience as police officer and 4 years service as city marshall. Therefore if he is nominated, he will meet his opponent with as good a record, official and otherwise, as can be had by any individual on our opponents' ticket. Our colored citizens may well afford to give Mr. Kahrs a favorable consideration, since his selection will mean just and equitable treatment at his hands.

B. When mailing Mail Orders, mention this paper. saying:—"I am God," and he realizes that he stands in majesty of the whole earth. God called the world out of chaotic darkness and made it vibrant with life and beauty. From the tigs of his holy fingers he tossed out world into space and with his golden compasses prescribed their boun daries. And when these mighty works were done, He called a special session of the eternal coun cil in which it was proposed, "Let us make man." Man the top piece of creation, was made in the likeness of God and endowed with an endless capacity for development. A development ranging from the speechless babe to the hoary-headed sage; and then for ceaseless ages into the perfect glory and power of an endless life. Having risen out of the darkness of nescence into sunlight of self consciousness, and having put all but the last enemy under his feet, man claims his kinship with God and to Him acknowledges his responsibility. Nature may have destroyed thousands in the innocence of her majestic playfulness. The earth has failed to yield her increase, but the cry of her helpless children awakens no remorse. The clouds may drop their moisture in such abundance as to destroy all living, yet nature in her remorseless heart feels no compunction. But man standing in the clear light of her personality, knowing him self, making his own choices, willing his own acts making his own decisions feels for responsibility. Responsible is he in the relation he sustains to his fello-man; responsible in the relation that he sustains to God. St. Louis Negro Will Now Be Hod-Carriers Organizer. Dayton, Ohio, May 11—W. C.

HUSTON, Editor and Publisher. Mrs. Stella Abbott and son. Carl, returned from Sweet Springs Saturday evening. Some men must be taught that honesty in politics is as honorable as it is in other lines of business. Reverends B. F. Abbott and Richard Davis attended the Great Missionary meeting in Kansas City this week. Miss Ona B. Ruby delighted a well filled house at Taylor's Chapel Tuesday evening with a program of rare talent. Miss Arzelia Ellis of Glasgow is enjoying a pleasant visit with her aunt, Mrs Annie Phillips of East Morgan street. Joseph Guy's club of Quinn Chapel served a dainty lunch at the beautiful residence of Isom Burress on west Morgan St. Mrs Mollie Gordon of Pleasant Hill spent several days, during the past week, with her cousin, Mrs Nora Suthington of this city. Rev George White of Kansas City came down Sunday and remained over Monday to attend the funeral of his relative, the late Rev G W Jennings. Daniel E. Blackburn, the Band man, of Kansas City, came down on the excursion Sunday to spend the day with the Abbott family. He reports his wife as being very much improved in health, since her recent visit here. Sport, the favorite dog of Master Mayo Harris, was killed last Friday. He was suffering from the primary effects of Hydropho bia, when shot. Many friends will miss this faithful and intelligent animal, whenever they call at the Doctor's office. --- Rev G W Jennings, who has been ill for several months with consumption contracted while abroad visiting Egypt and the Holy Land, departed this life at 8 o'clock a.m. May 12, at his home on West Main street. The funeral services were held from the Morgan Street Baptist Church, Rev Richard Adkins, assisted by the Rev T L Scott officiating. His body was laid to rest in the city cemetery. Mrs. Harriet Bowles the mother of Rev. F. S. Bowles died at Georgetown, Mo., May 12, 1900, at 8 a.m. She was in her 82nd year and had been a member of the Baptist church for more than fifty years. True and faithful to the last did she maintain her faith and trust in God. The funeral was preached at the Baptist church in Holden by the Rev. Mr. Vanzego, the pastor of that church and the remains interred in the Holden Cemetery. Miss Eva Parker conducted an excellent concert at Taylor's Chapel Monday evening. Little Misses Vivian Carter, Ida Robinson, Helen Chile, Leatha Phillips and Master Ollie Kinney filled important and attractive vocal numbers with Miss Parker playing the organ accompaniments. Miss Ruth Buckner announced the program in an intelligent and businesslike manner. All present were delighted with the exercises. Dr. Thomas Jay McAllister, the Dental Specialist, of St. Joseph, who spent several days in our city recently, did some very satisfactory work while here. His patients speak in commendable terms of his method of extracting teeth without pain. We hope to have the Doctor visit our city again soon, since his stay with us has been both lucrative to him and pleasurable to those with whom he has had business transactions. Worthy Gentlemen. City Clerk Charles E. Baker has announced his candidacy for the nomination for county clerk on the Republican ticket. Mr. Baker has been an active worker in the republican rank for several years and seeks this nomination as a reward for faithful and helpful party service. County Collector, W. S. Scott, who is an aspirant to succeed himself in office is a fine specimen of Pettis county manhood. He is a thoroughly congenial republican true to his friends and loyal to his party. Our democratic friends will find a "foeman worty of their steel." when they tackle him. Attorney H. D. Dow, who is earnestly seeking the nomination for prosecuting attorney on our ticket, is a very worthy young man. If elected, he will do his utmost to give the county good and honorable service. In every sense of the word, he is a gentleman. Circuit Clerk C. W. Daughterty has prepared himself to outrun anything the democrats may put in the field. It is smooth sailing for Charlie, when he is once aroused, to do anything he may under take. Being courteous and honorable, he will win a host of friends who will give him freely their ballot. David Roberts, who has announced his candidacy for the nomination for County Clerk on the republican ticket. Having been reared near Houstonia and Hughesville, he has a large acquaintance among the residents of that section. Aside from this he will be ably seconded by the commercial travellers of this city, if he secures the nomination. Ex-City Attorney A. L. Shortridge feels confident that he should be selected by the republicans to make the race for prosecuting attorney, on the republican ticket. Young Shortridge is a hustler from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet. He is well liked by all.
