J hn Cobb says he will have to

superior to the fallen human family-
"men of renown." The race thus in
several centuries became so corrupt
that apparently only Noah and his
family were left uncontamlnated.
It was then and there that God Im-
prisoned these spirits f'angels, who
kept not their first estate"), and are
therefore called fallen angels, devils,
demons. They were not imprisoned in
some far-off world called hell, nor are
they engaged there in stoking fires.
The record is that God cast them
down, that they might not longer asso-
ciate with the holy angels, but must be
reserved in lartarus—our earth's atmos-
phere.-Jude C; II i'eter 11, 4. 5.
When imprisoned or cut off ffom the
privilege of materialization, m^ny of
the fallen spirits continued their active
opposition to God, after the manner of
Satan. Hence they are spoken of as
his angels, his messengers, and be is
spoken of as Beelzebub, their X'rince.
How Jesus Preached In Death.
Here arises another question: If
Jesus was really dead, as the Scrip-
tures declare; if "He poured out His
bouI unto death" and made His soul
nn offering for sin," and His soul was
not raised from the dead until the third
day after His crucifixion, bow could
He in the meantime preach to spirits
in prison, or to anybody else? We re-
ply that He could preach in tlie same
way that the Apostle refers to. sujing,
"Abel, being dead, yet speaketh" (He

sometimes refer to when we say. Ac-

It was the great object lesson which
the fallen angels saw that constituted
to them the great sermon that f^e
them a ground for hope. They admir-
ed Jesus' loyalty and faithfulness to
God. but doubtless believed Him to be
foolish; they never expected Ulm to
arise from the dead.
But when they, perceived His resur-
rection on the third day to glory, hon-
or and immortality ("far above angels,
principalities and powers"). His ser-
mon to them was complete, namely,
that "the wages of sin is death, but

when the news came to Lexington
Sunday afternoon of the marriage
at 12 o'clock of Mr. Robert Ilamsey
and Miss Edna Frenclr' of Noble at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W .
L. Fessenbeck, northeast of Lex-

Both the bride and groom are

east of Lexington. Sunday morn-
ing the young people drove to the
Fessenbeck residence, called Rev.

FINDS $15,000 IN OLD HOUSE
New Jersey Man Is Glad He Fixed
an Ancient Fireplace That Con-
tained Treasure.
Asbury Park, N. J.—Borden Jeffrey
of Deal Lake Is $15,000 richer today as
the result of spending a few dollars in
repairing an ancient fireplace in an
old colonial homestead which ho pur-
chased recently. Workmen while fix-
ing the fircplf.co turned up a cache
which contained an oak chest full of
pold and silver coins. Their value, It
Is said, Is lu the neighborhood of $16,-
000.
There has long been a belief that
much treasure is burled In this section
| of Asbury Park. In the early days
j Deal Lake was a uliipbuildlng center,
i vessels nt lliat time being able to sail
from tho lake out o sea. A changing
coast formation and diversion of in-
dustry to other in m favorable har-
bors closed the shipbuilding industry.
The homestead is one of the country's
historic relics. The house luis had so
many tenants It Is impossible to trace
the ownership of the chest of silver.
