A Holy Comparison.
"For they are equal unto the angels’’—
Luke 20:36.
Here our Savior tells us of the
highly exalted state of those who
are saved, and makes the holy com
parison between saints and angels.
Beginning at the 27th verse of
this chapter we read the contro\ ersy
between Jesus and the Sadducees, a
sect of educated critics in the time
of our Savior on earth, who denied
the doctrine of the resurrection and
did not believe in God nor in a fu
ture life, such people as we would
now call “infidels,” and they thought
to disprove the resurrection by a
question they asked Jesus in vs. 33,
after quoting the law of Moses vs.
28, also citing a case vs. 29 to 32;
and their question drew from our
Lord the comparison used as our
theme for this Little Sermon from
the words, “Equal unto the angels,”
then let us think a moment of the
angels as we learn of the them
from the Bible.
I. They were created before man
was, and were witnesses of the cre
ation of our world, and in ecstatic
joy they sang together and shouted
for joy when they saw the glorious
beauty and grandeur of a world
coming forth at the word of divine
power see Job 38,4 to 7. They also
had given them a more exalted hab
itation, for it was theirs to dwell in
the lofty habitation, even in the
palace and in the presence of the
most high, to view continually his
refulgent glory.
II. It is also probable that theirs
was a superior nature and that they
had greater powers, and more lofty
intelligence, and fitted for services
that man was not capable of per
forming, as messengers from
heaven to earth bringing to men on
earth messages from God—see Gen.
18 as they came to Abraham, also
Gen. 19 as messengers to Lot, note
also the visit of the Angel Gabriel
to the prophet Daniel while he was
praying, see Dan. 9, 20 to 23 &c.,
and on many other occasions the
angels came from heaven with mes
sages to men and women and some
times to children as to little Sam- .. . .. „. ;1
uel. and made known to them the
words and will of God.
III. But especially on the event
of our Savior’s coming into this
world, did the angels bring to earth
messages that will ever be an in
spiration to all who believe in Jesus
as the world’s great Savior.
But now we turn for a moment to
man, poor fallen and sinful man,
who was made a little lower than
the angels, and given a habitation
lower than that of the angels, for this
earth was given to him as a dwelling
place, but yet he was the object of
God’s great love, for it has pleased
our Heavenly Father to crown him
with glory and honor, in that Jesus
our Savior came to this world and
became a man, he did not come as
an angel, but as a man, and his
coming was to save the world of
mankind from deeper degradation
in sin, and lift up fallen man from
despair and ruin with the promise
of equality with the angels in that
man shall through exalting grace be
equal with the angels in purity, in
happiness, and in honor, dwelling
as near to the throne of God, be
coming not only the creatures of
God, but the children of God by
faith in Jesus, and shall be heirs of
Gi d and joint heirs with Jesus our
Lord, and in this relation they will
even transcend the angels, and
their joys will no doubt be sweeter
as they are permitted to sit with
Jesus on his throne to judge the
world, and more wonderful still, to
judge even angels, see I Cor. 6:2-3.
How glorious the thought of this ex
altation, equal unto the beautiful
angels in glory.
Prohibition Law in Maine is
Voted Out.
Unofficial and only partly revised
returns from 499 out of 521 cities,
towns and plantations in Maine to
day gave a majority of 904 for re
peal of the prohibitory constitutional
amendment. The missing twenty
two towns cast less than 385 votes
at the state election three years
ago.
The total vote was: For repeal,
60,782; against repeal, 59,878.
Since 1857 Maine has had a stat
ute prohibiting the sale of intoxicat
ing liquors and since 1884 prohibi
tion has been a part of the constitu
tion. In that year, 1884, the ques
tion of placing prohibition in the
constitution was put before the peo
ple and prohibition won by a major
ity of 15,988, carrying every county
in the state. Following this the at
tacks of anti-prohibitionists ceased
for a time, only to be renewed in
later years. The democratic party
last year made the question of re-
oubmission for the constitutional
amendment to the people a plank
of its platform. The democrats
swept the state in the election and
the legislature, aided by some re
publican votes, voted to put the
matter before the people.
The apparent decision of the
voters on the face of the returns to
il ght to take prohibition out of the
constitution does not mean that
liquor can lawfully be sold. The
legislature must act before the pres
ent statutory law, adopted in 1857,
can be repealed and the question
must again be put before the peo
ple.
Whether Governor Plaisted will
call a special session of the legisla
ture is not definitely known, but
among prominent democrats it is
regarded that the governor will take
such a step.
On the strength of the returns in
dicating the strength of the repeal
movement, Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stev
ens, national president of the W. C.
T. U„ issued this statement tonight:
"The result of the great battle just
fought in Maine is but one incident
in the great onward march of pro
hibition. The power of the liquor
trust of this nation has been dem
onstrated as never before.
“If liquor money is effectual in
overcoming the influence of the
church, the educators, the grangers,

The State’s Railroad
The state of Georgia owns a rail
road 137 miles in length and it is
one of the best equipped in the
South. It is also paying the state
and is giving the people good ser
vice.
This road is the Western and At
lantic and runs from Chattanooga
to Atlanta. The state is receiving
$400,000 annually in rents from the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
railroad. It is a great asset to -the
state.
In 1907 this road's earnings were
$21,000 gross per mile, while the
Southern railway earned $6,700; the
Seaboard Air Line, $5,400; Boston &.
Maine, $15,825; Erie, $20,140; Illi
nois Central, $11,319; Union Pacific,
$10,967; New York Central, $11,352;
the average gross earnings at that
time throughout the country being

Farmers, Attention
When were your house, barn and
farm buildings painted? All build
ing material is much higher than a
few years ago, and the tendency is
for it to advance. It behooves us
to use paint and save our wood
work.
You can apply the paint yourself
and make a good job. The import
ant thing is to get good paint and
rub it well into the wood.
If for any reason you can not get
paint, then by all means use white
wash. You will not regret it when
you see the result.
Have you the conveniences around
your house that you should and can
have? Your wife and daughter will
appreciate several handy things
that you can make for use around
the house, and it will save them.—

Death of Mrs. Crider.
On the 6th inst., at her home on
Sims street, Mrs. Mollie Crider, wife
of the late Martin Crider, deceased,
after several weeks of protracted
affliction .departed this life.
The deceased was a lady of cheer
ful and uncomplaining spirit, living
a very quiet and retired life, seldom
going from her home except when
necessary. Those who were best
acquainted with her appreciate most
her kindness as a neighbor and
friends who visited her during her
affliction, tell of her expressions of
trust in her Savior and of her sub
mission to his will.
On the 7th inst. her body was
laid to rest in the city cemetery.
Funeral rites were conducted at the
grave. W. W. R.
ORDEAL OF WATER.
Once Used to Determine a Person**
Guilt or Innocence.
Throwing people into the water
to let it determine their innocence
or guilt was widely in use in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centu
ries. A synod of west Prussia for
bade its use in 1745. Sporadic
cases, however, occurred during the
whole of the nineteenth century.
Professor K. P. Evans wrote in
1805 of its use in Dalmatia, where
in some districts it was still custom
ary to throw all the women into tho
water on a specified day to see
whether they would sink or swim.
A rope was attached to each in
order to save-from drowning those-
who/proved tlu-ir innocence by sink
ing. while those believed to be-
guilty because they floated were
also rescued and made to promise-
to forsake their evil ways on pain
of being stoned.
A traveler has described a mod
ern survival of the ordeal used in
detecting thieves in southern Rus
sia, says the Dietetic and Hygienii
Gazette. All the servants of the
household where the robbery oc
curred were assembled, and as
many balls of bread were made as
there were suspected persons.
A sorceress then addressed each
one of the number, saying that the
particular ball of bread which she
held in her hand would sink or
swim as the party addressed was
guilty or innqconfc. She then flung
it into the water.
Boiling water was used in ordeals
by the Persians, and it is referred
to in the A vesta. It contained both
the sacred elements, water and fire,
suggesting the deluge past and tho-
fiery doom of the future. In the-
simplest form of the hot water test
the bare arm was plunged to the-
wrist in trivial cases and to the el
bow in more serious trials, usually
to bring out rings or coins thrown
therein.
In Tibet plaintiff and defendant
settle their cause judicially by-
plunging their arms into boiling-
water containing a black and a
white stone, when he who brings up-
the white stone wins the verdict.
