David A. Henkes from the disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth. Henkes attorney announced that an appeal will be taken tq the United States supreme court.

A court-martial sentenced him to twenty-five years in prison, which was afterwards commuted to five years.

Judge Pollock held that retired officers illegally made up the court-martial and that Henkes was twice placed in jeopardy and he ordered his release. Henkes is now living in Leavenworth. uj i' i tor gr-j a 1 XT' -ate Dollar Day PLACE III fJDDERli HELlSlflll So Says The Rev. P. C.

Nelson, Evangelist. Asserts Theologians Who Say Miracles Ceased With Apostolic Age Are Ig-, norant of Church History. Theologians of our times usually say miracles ceased with the apostolic age. This betrays a deplorable Ignorance of church history, which gives innumerable instances of cases of divine healing in the early church' after the last of the apostles had died. Dr.

Gerhard Uhlhorn, in his famous work, "Conflict of Christianity with Heathenism" says. "Witnesses who are above suspicion leave no doubt that the miraculous powers of the apostolie age continued to operate at least into the third century." Justin Martyr (Apol. II. 6) speaks at length about Christians casting out demons, as did the apostles, saying that they "have healed and, do heal" In the name of Jesus Christ. Irenaeus says: "Wherefore also those who are in truth the disciples receiving grace from him do in his name perform miracles so as to promote the welfare of others, according to the gift which each has received from him." Tertullian says: "How many men of rank, to say nothing of the common people, have been delivered from devils and healed of disease" (Ad.

Sea p. IV. 4). Clement Makes Comment. Clement, In his directions for visiting the sick.

them, therefore, with fasting "and prayer, make their intercessions, and not with the well arranged and fitly ordered words of learning, but as men who have received the gift of healing confidently, to the glory of of God" (Epis. C. XII.) I have not cited men of doubtful character or reputation, but the great leaders of the early church. So much for the first three centuries. The age of Constantine is generally held as the time when the church departed from the primitive simplicity an faith, and yet the celebrated historian; Mosheim, speaking of the fourth century, "But I cannot on the other hand assent to the opinion of those who REV.

P. NELSON. maintain that in this century miracles had entirely ceased" (Cent. IV.) To save time we omit references to divine healing in the thousand years following this, and skip to the fifteenth century. In 14-31, Johannis Lukawitz, in his confession of faith of the Waldensians, says: "Therefore, concerning this anointing of the sick, we hold it an article of faith, and profess sincerely from the heart that sick persons, when they ask it, may lawfully be anointed with the anointing oil by one who joins with them in praying that it may be efficacious to the' healing of the body according to the design and end and effect mentioned by the apostles; and we profess that such an anointing performed according to the apostolic design and practice will be healing and profitable." Moravians Receive Light.

In his history of the United Brethren or Moravians, from whom John Wesley deceived light and inspiration, tbe Rev. A. Bost rays: "We are. indeed, well aware that, so far from its being possible to prove by scripture, or by experience, that visions and dreams, the gift of miracles, healings and other extraordinary gifts, have absolutely ceased in Christendom since the apostolic times, it is on the contrary proved, both by facts and by scripture, that there may always be these gifts where there is faith, and that they will never 1 entirely detached from it" (Bost I. p.

17 Tbe great leader of the Moravians, Count Zinzendorf, says: "To believe against hope is the root of the gift of miracles; and I owe this testimony to our Moved church, that apostolic powers are there manifested. We have undeniable proofs thereof in the unequivocal discovery of things. persons, and circumstances, which could not humanly have been discovered, in the healing of maladies in themselves incurabie. "such as cancers-consumptions, when the patient was in the agonies of death." Numerous miracles are recorded in the most authentic histories of the Huguenots, of the Scotch wvenacters. of the Friends, of the Methodists.

The Journal of John Wesley records a number of cases of divine healing. More people are being healed by the 1 v. DC Haven't Had Job Since. If He said that approximately $100,000 was paid out on the Woods building agents. A total of $40,000 was paid to union agents in the construction of the State-Lake building he estimated.

Thomas, in pleading that he not be forced to testify, said that one iron concern had "squealed" to the legislative committee which investigated building conditions in New York. "They haven't had a job since," he eaid. "Conditions were 100 times worse in Chicago than in New York." Thomas declared. "I have erected many buildings in New York and never paid out a cent of graft except to inspectors to allow us to place our material on sidewalks. "Here, I found the only way to get work done was to find the right union business agent and pay him." AERIAL NETWORK IX EUROPE BY "PICK" SMITH It would seem from the newspapers, that In 1926 there is liable to be a big celebration, somewhere in those United States, of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independance.

This reminds me that in 1S76, to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of said adoption, the Centennial Exposition all the world invited was pulled off in Philadephia, and that Kansas then and there showed that part of the world that accepted the "bid" what was going on along the eastern fringe of what not-so-awfully-old geoprapnies denominated "The Great American Desert." At that show, a commissioner from Brazil became so fond of one from Kansas that, when bidding him farewell, he handed him a package which he understood the S. A. gent to declare was "something mighty good," which he the Jayhawker accepted and, just as he received it, brought home and handed to the then secretary of the state board of agriculture, who locked it up in one of the big glass showcases in the board's quarters, then on the ground floor of the present east wing of the state house. About six years thereafter, one afternoon a soldiering slave from an adjacent department was snooping around the board's museum, looking at the exhibits in the cases, the snakes preserved in alcohol in big jars, the display of butterflies, beetles, spiders, bugs, and so on. After a while he said to a clerk at a nearby desk: "I say.

Bill, what's in this chicken-wire-covered package In this 'ere case?" "Coffin-paint, I guess soinethin from BraziL" replied Bill. "Ever been opened?" the loafer then asked. "Guess not," said Bill, with a backward jerk of his head, and when his visitor. came close up he grinned, "but it danged soon will be, if you'll stick around till closin' time, for I'd like mightly well myself to know what's in the doggonned thing." Promptly at the door was locked, and about the nineteenth of the twenty-odd keys on a big ring worked, and the case was unlocked. An inspection of the mysterious package disclosed that the Brazil folk had evidently intended to fix it "for keeps," as the explorers met up with, first close-fitting wire-mesh cage which, without cutting, could only be opened at the bottom.

When that was A if Topeka's ftsrt Pki TUFT MAKES ART LIVE FOR TOPEKfl AUDIENGE Famous Chicago Sculptor Lectures at Washburn. Praises Work of Merrell Gage and Pleads With Topeka to Recognize Artist She Can Claim. BT SrE CARMODT Making art alive and expressive of every thought and emotion of life as It is lived today was the mission of Lorado Taft when he lectured here Friday night at MacVicar chapel. Appearing under the alarming title "One Hundred Masterpieces of Sculpture," the lecture proved to be full of interest and charm. As a student of the classics as well as the history of the world, Taft's lecture was rich in references to all the happenings of time that have made possible the rich contributions which fill the galleries of the world today.

The slides of the sculpture which were shown were collected during the times when Taft was a student abroad. Gage's Work Marvelous. At the dinner given at Pelletier's preceding the lecture at Washburn. Taft paid high tribute to the genius of Merrell Gage and implored Topeka to recognize his worth. "The work that Merrell Gage is doing is marvelous," he said.

"You as a city should be-proud to be able to claim him as your own. Recognize him now while it will count. Do everything you can to make possible his further advancement. Do not do as so many cities in this country have done in failing to recognize the talent that lay within their gates. "The piece of work he has done In the memorial tablet presented to the city a few days ago is unsual and wonderful.

It Is entirely creditable. Give him full credit for it and above all be proud of him. He is worth it. Favors "Solid" Sculpture. One of the notable things about the lecture was the freedom and courage with which Taft, as an artist and a friendly critic, gave his opinion on the work of the sculptors which was shown.

Declaring himself to be a lover of sculpture, "serene and solid." he was still able to see the beauty andfpower and significance of the work which had in it the spirit of flight and action. The clever little offshoots in Taft's talk accompanying the showing of the slides were appreciated by the audience. His constant references to his having been 20 when it was springtime in Paris made his listeners more certain than ever that his friends had judged him rightly when they speak of him as "friendly and approachable." lie Is 61 Years Old. Taft is 61 years old, but his address showed that he was sixty-one years young in life of his chosen work. His knowledge of so many things, together with the charm and ease of his manner of presentation, made him a visitor to Topeka whose words and whose influence will long be remembered.
