The Labyrinth of Life
BY REV. DR. HENRY ALFORD PORTER OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHIRCH
"The Labyrinth of Life" was the un-
usual subject discussed by Dr. Henry
Alford Porter at the First Baptist
church last night. It was the fourth
sermon In the aeries. "Fir blights on
Ufe." In spite of the wild winter
woather splendid congregations were
In attendance at the morning service,
and in the evening also. The text for
the evonlng sermon was Psalm 107 7:
"And he led them forth by the right
way. that they might go to a city of
habitation." Here follows a report of
what he aald In part:
The allusion of the psalmist Is evi-
dently to the wanderings of the Israel-
ites In the wilderness.
Their road
from Egypt to Canaan, as we trace It our shores anybody with any Chinese
on the map, is seen to be a complete * blood. How unlike that Is to God!
Let Him be your guide to glory!
Put your sinful hands in Ills pierced
palm! Let Him who guided the chll
dren of Israel by the pillar of fire and
the cloud to the land of promise lead
you forth by the right way that you
may go to a city of habitation.

Oh, yes, heaven is a place of habita-

are some familiar ones.

At Hampton Court, twelve miles
below London, there is the palace
where Henry VIII. lived. The palace
Is a dream of beauty, and the haunt
of tourists. It Is aald that one of
the chief attractions Is a very ancient
and very Intricate labyrinth. In which
Henry VIII., more than three hundred
years ago, used to wander about for
his amusement. It la a muse of walks
bordered on either side by a high
hedge. These walks wind in and out
backward and forward, till they reach
the center. I Have a picture of that
labyrinth in my home. Were you to
study it a little you would find it easy
to get Into, but very hard to get out of.
Lost! There is an echo about that
word that never falls to send a shiver
to the heart We are all alike lost1
In the dsrk and devious ways of sin.
All we like sheep have gone astray."
'Lost, lost, lost!" is written in letters
of black on every brow.
It is true that some have not gone
so deeply into sin's labyrinth as others.
Some of the letters that a city min-
ister gets are heart-rending. I have
a pitiful letter which has haunted me
ever since the malls brought It to my
door. It was written by the parents
of a young man who came to the city
to make hia way upward. Alas! he is
making his way downward instead.
He had a Christian training, but now
that he has gone out from the over-
sight of his parents he has fallen Into
bad companionship and Is being led
way from his father's Ood and his
mother's Qod. I pity the boy. I
have no curses for him. If I had
urses to fling I should fling them at
his associates who aroused within hlin
that appetite that Is dragging him
downward. The tempter Ib a million
times deeper Involved in the awrul
labyrinth than the tempted.

01IINA3II.N SMUGGLED IX.
A Dozen Drought From Mexico In n
Santa Fe Iiox Car.
Albuquerque, N. M.. Feb. 5.—What
li probably one of the most daring at-
temps at smuggling Chinamen Into
the United States which ever succeed-
ed has Just been brought to light by
the officials of the coast lines of the
Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe at Rak
ersfleld, Cal.
The scheme, which proved so suc-
cessful, was slmrde In the extreme.
On December 30 a car left El Paso
over the Santa Fe billed to Bakers-
field, Cal. The car was billed as mer-
chandise and was not Inspected, as Is
the usual custom of the immigration
officials at El Paso. The car was
billed to a man by the name of Hun
ter, In Dakersfield. It arrived safely
and a card was sent to Hunter notify-
ing him that his car of merchandise
had arrived. No. Hunter showed up
und the Santa Fe oflclals, becoming
suspicious, determined to Investigate
the contents of the car. The car seal
was found broken and the car empty
of any contents, save several empty
meat tins, scraps of bread, water
buckets and other pvldences that the
car had been used for human habita-
tion. The railway officials, believing
that the car had been used for smug
gllng Chinamen, the nearest customs
official was notified and after a care-
ful Investigation proved that the sus-
picions of the/ railroad oflclals were
well founded.
While there have been many and
varied schemes tried by those finding
this risky business lucrative, the
wholesale smuggling Just brought to
light Is perhaps the most daring, most
simple, and at the same time most
successful attempt that has ever been
made in the history of the Chinamen
smuggling business.
That a box car. containing at lea."t
a dozen of the almond-eyed sons of
the Orient, could travel a distance of
1,128 miles without its contents hav-
ing been discovered seems almost un-
believable. The car left El Paso De-
cember 30 and passed through Albu-
querque on January 1 or 2. continuing
on Its way to Baker«fieid and It is
almost absurd to think that all of
these men could have been bribed,
even had they been open to bribery.
The risk of detection at way stations
must have been great, as the least
noise would have betrayed them. Fig-
uring the car t< go through as fast as
possible, the Chinamen must have
been locked in the car at least fifty-
six hours.

the natives, and the manager of the
mines was served with notloe, it ts

that ths presence of the black coal

lfrsmiiuiilons Progressing.
The teachers' examinations are now
In progress In Oklahoma City in all
gradMi. It Is quite ilkrly that there
will be some changes soon. The board
meets Monday night, and several new
teauhers will probably be el octet.
H. (?. Burger, of Otatha, Kaa., Is In
the city on a abort business trip, rela-
tive to some land cases which were
supposed to come up In this term of J
court.
Believing that if he should die out-
side of his native state, Arizona, he
would forever be denied the pleasure
of tho 'happy hunting grounds" has
led the old chief Geronimo, tho Apache
warrior, to greatly meditate upon the
matter the past few months of return-
ing to the land of his youth. It Is
one of the religious beliefs of the
Apache race of Indians that they
should die and be buried In the coun-
try of their birth. Geronimo is now
78 years old and realizes that this
world is not to be his abode much
longer. He Is dally making prepara-
tions for his death. The first step In
this direction was when, some two
months ago. Geromlno Joined the
Dutch Reformed church, of which he
has been an active member ever since.
With Geronimo as the leader, the
Apache tribe hold what they olass
"healing services." Their religion
tells them that by certain religious
practices they may cure any of their
diseased brethren. At a recent In-
dian dance held at Fort Sill. Geron-
imo led In one of these services. As
all the "palefaces" were dismissed be-
fore the ceremony, which consists of a
dance, took place, no description of
the rites can be given.
Geronlmo's second move was that of
becoming a Benedict during the Christ-
mas holidays. This was Gcronimo's
eighth time to be married. The wo-
man he chose to become his wife was
nn Apache widow r>8 years old. who
bore the name of Sousche. Life was
becoming too strenuouus to Geronimo
without a helpmeet, so with little woo-
ing he took to his home on tho Fort
Sill reservation his new bride. This
started the whole tribe, us they had
not been Informed of the old man's
intentions in the matter.
The last but not the least of Ger-
onlmo's undertakings is that of secur-
ing his liberty from the Iron hands
that now hold him a prisoner of war
upon the military reservation. His sole
purpose of desiring his liberty is that
he may return to Arizona and spend
his decling da5*s unmolested. To ac-
complish this mission, Geronimo is at
present at the mountain home of Chief
Quanah Parker of the Comanche
tribe. Upon Geronlmo's arrival at the
chief's home an elaborate banquet was
spread for the guest and his three at-
tendants. After the festivities of the
venlng were over, there two chiefs
lent into an executive council. In re-
cent years Geronimo and Quanah Par-
ker have confided in each other on
rery important business which the
public has never known anything
about.
Chief Parker became well acquaint-
ed with President Roosevelt during
the latter's big wolf hunt in the Kiowa-
Comanche Indian reservation in south-
west Comanche county, Hnd has. nt
other times, called upon the president
at the White House on business con-
nected with his tribe. Geronimo is
confident that if Quanah Parker will
Intercede for him to the president of
the United States that he may se-
cure his liberty. To acompllsh this is
the reason of the visit at this time.
arker is to make a trip to Washing-
ton in the near future to confer with
the president regarding the leasing of
tho Kiowa-Comanche reserve of a half
million acres. Geronimo is to help
bear the expenses of the journey; in
return he Is to receive the support of
Parker in securing his freedom.
It will be necessary to move Ger-
onimo and his tribe of 200 out of the
reservation to make room for the
United States regular army maneuvers
which are to he carried on at Fort Sill
beginning this spring. It is not an-
ticipated by any of the officers In
a position to know that Geronimo will
secure his release; but if he should
be allowed to return to Arisona his
life would be of short duration. There
are a number of white people living
in that territory, where his depreda-
tions were committed, who say that
if he were set at liberty he never
would he allowed to get off the train
alive. The war officials are too well
acquainted with Geronimo. knowing
his disposition and selfish desires, to
allow him to go about the country
with all the liberty of an American
citizen. He is such a character as
would not appreciate the life such as
liberty would bestow upon him. With
liberty he would become uncontroll-
able and vicious, and resort to all sorts
of vice and crime. If by some un-
known source Geronimo is allowed to
drink any intoxicating drinks it re-
quires the diligent work of an entire
company of United States soldiers to
corral him and bring him under sub-
jection.
