Johnson, of Springfield, Mo., Discusses This Important Subject in Her Graduating Oration Last Spring. Originality, An Evident Characteristic of Her Thesis. Standing in the background of life and casting my eyes unveiled upon the great stage of action, where unheeding grasping man in all his glory moves, wrapping this earth about with his productions of art, science and architecture, as a tender mother would her beloved child, I behold men of knowledge, rank and power; men of culture, brawn and will, who have no desire but to exist. To live and exist: these are the great twin conceptions that are the powers of the earth. The one to spend one's time and energy which God has so amply given, in wonton nothingness; to stand before the beauties of this great world and the tho'ts and hopes of the boundless beyond blindly grouping for a path with soul uncultured. The othe, with a soul harmonious perfect, strong and sure, with the "Pearl beyond price," the intellect and far above that, the brain and the ennobling spirit. Man sees, reels, hears, tastes and smells. What are these five senses, without a soul cultured to recognize and to believe in nature's Creator? Yet, every one, irrespective of their mental development, has a soul. You would ask me, "Is it worth while to point out the beauties of the landscape the seas or the rivers to an idiot?" It seems almost useless. But why not? In our every day life, we intelligently will this or that and accomplish our will by setting our attention to the object and then proceed to act. At the same time the invisible life of the soul is going on with its own powers and functions. The spirit, being the dominant force, often wills in a way of which we, as physical beings, are unawares. This much may be said of the body no matter how poor: Handy R WILLIAM DIGGS, Proprietor, Regular Meals and Hot Lun to give complete satisfaction HOT FISH, FRIED AND FRIED Pops of all flavors, Iron ways below the freezing come in and see us.

"The idiot, the clown, the crim- inal, In their garments scant or good; The beggar, the peasant, the a- lien, They have never been understood She think of the look, the odor, act, the filth, the dole; She do not search to its inmost core. She not spring of the soul. She willess, serene; silent and the new born child, She sits in her wonderful temple A being still undefiled. She knoweth their low begin- ning. She feeleth their bodies lack; And the stings of the thorns of evil, That clutch along her track. How poverty builds her prison! How ignorance holds the key! And temptation is relentless; Aye, all of these ills weigh she. Thus considered, the soul is in every one, waiting for its master, culture. As a seed is planted, so is the soul. As the seed grows and brings forth beautiful flowers being perfected by nature so will the soul develop by culture. The intellect is one of the powers of the spirit, the biggest we know of: And in almost all cases it is the channel by which we float ideas into the soul, that illimitable ocean of being. But, even, if the intellect be impaired or undeveloped, the soul with its keen immortal senses ever alert can be taught, educated and made to assume its proper position among other souls. Neither will the soul take up civil ideas for its law is the law of right. Nothing wrong appeals to it.

You cannot give to any one, whether it be crowned monarch or prattliug oabe, a sweet thought, a charming smile or a word of sympathy, without helping them to grow. 100 REV. J. W. PATTON, Pastor of the M. E. church, Fredericktown, Mo., who is a stanch supporter of this paper. If man knew that there were no home or reward for the soul, would circumstances be as they are? Man must prepare his home on earth by associating, cultivating, educating and promoting the welfare of the soul. Could we only see and feel the beauties of the soul, pure as snow and as faultless as the lily, how honored and thanksul we should be in possessing a soul! Cultivate the soul. With the cultivation of the soul is connected the education of the mind and body. Since man is the noblest work of God, he should live up to his creation. Civilization was not with man when he was first placed in the Garden of Eden, because at that juncture he was naked in body, brain, heart and soul. The nobleness of one's life depends upon their spirit and purpose. The inspiration of purpose and the beauties of a simple life are free to all. The grandeur of the universe is seen only through the soul. Milton was blind but he could see the beautiful in everything. Beethoven was deaf but he could hear the most beautiful music, ere it was wasted up to heaven. As beauty of features is the outward expression of a noble purpose so happiness is the inner expression of a noble life. Intellect is the guide of the universe. It gives us higher ideals and nobler aims. It opens the door of the soul and helps us to realize that, "Life is real, life is earnest, And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returneth Was not spoken of the soul." Education gives rise thoughts and ideals. If it were not for our ideals, this life would be one of slothfulness. Hence we are a human mass, following after the Great Star—our ideal, which advances farther as we think we ap proach it. Education sweetens sorrows; thinking makes poverty bearable. It is the will of the soul that we should be more than weare. We are endowed with powers to understand, enjoy and become a part of this world. Soul Culture immeasurably increases human happiness. There burns in man an inner soul which fashions his realities. Though imperfect these realities may be, they will slowly develop, until man reaches a greatness still more lofty and H . R . Sampoy enduring. By Soul Culture, man is lifting himself through the ages into the light. He will ultimately lift himself into Paradise, where he will worship the God within him--the God to be. Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting. The soul that rises with us, our life's star, hath had elsewhere its sitting and cometh from after. Not in entire forgetfulness, and not utter nakedeess; but trailing clouds of glory do we come, from God. Who is our Home. Mrs. Herndon Honored.

It alludes that the nations of the Grand Chancellor in that province the institute were "Arbitrary and Unjust." We regret to state that the international World's contention is not sustainably the following rules: The revised constitution of 1905 does not include the Past Chancellors as active members of the Grand Lodge and the Chale institute, being sustained by that feature of the organic law of 1905, before the first formal vote was taken that only representatives, Grand Lodge officers, Supreme Representatives and Past Grand Chancellors would be qualified voters in the grand lodge of 1900. No formal vote had been taken before the credentials' committee's report was read and adopted, and the ruling mentioned above was made, the Master at arms removing the Past Chancellors to the rear of the hall, just prior to the taking of the vote to adopt the aforesaid report. It can be seen by consulting the records that the Past Chancellors were prohibited from voting throughout the session. Official records and participants will verify our statement. We make this correction in order that the Grand Chancellor may be properly placed before the public. And, we feel certain that the Editor of the Professional World would not do any man an injustice by knowingly misrepresenting him in his official acts. Facts are facts, cold and indisputable, and no one should vary from them to carry a point. If we have failed to present the facts upon the proposition at issue, we are open for proofs to the contrary, by referring to the records and the testimony of those present and participating.

The CONSERVATOR will therefore view propositions from and upon their face value, allowing neither prejudice nor personal interest to sway it from giving to the world the facts. The fiscal year just closed has been a great one for the Pythians of this state.

All legislation entered into was thoroughly ventilated before its adoption. Hence no cries of imperfection will arise.

H G PRILLIPS, The New State of Oklahoma Bigger than Missouri: as big as Ohio and Indiana combined, with a soil teeming with all the crops that any state raises, OKLAHOMA—the new state—is destined to occupy first rank in a few short years. Here at the present time over a million people are duplicating the life which is going on in Illinois and Indiana. Their houses; their towns and their schools are newer but in nothing else do their surroundings differ from those in other states. Their cities and towns are growing and expanding with the impetus of a fertile soil, and a pushing, wide awake citizenship. Her settlers, mainly from the older states, see the virtue of encouraging enterprises of every kind and the needfulness of getting more and better facilities; of getting more hands to develop the country. In brief, conditions today are simply these: OKLAHOMA is in need of nothing save people. More men are needed in the towns; and more farmers for the vast areas of unimproved land not now yielding crops of which it is capable. There are openings of all sorts for for farmers and artizans, for mills and manufacturing plants, for small stores of all kinds. YOUR OPPOTUNITY NOW The opportune time is now while the land is cheap. The country is fast settling up. If you purchase land now, you will soon see grow up around you a community of prosperous energetic men who like yourself have seen the brighter possibilities of OKLA-HOMA and have taken advantage If you are in any way interest ed in OKLAHOMA I'd like to send you a copy of my free paper "The Coming Country."
