Comment and Suggestive Thought.
V. 23. “All things are lawful." All
things pertaining to the support of life,
ouch as eating and drinking, and to Its
enjoyment in social intercourse and
pleasure. The Christian Is, or should
be, the one free man In God’s world.
"Not all are expedient.” A negative
way of saying that some things that
are lawful may yet be harmful to one’s
self or to another. "Edify not.” Lit-
erally, “do not build up.” The Infer-
ence Is plain: If some things are In
themselves lawful, yet are found to
tear down rather than build up char*
Practical Points.
V. 23. The Christian is the one. free
men.—John 8:36.
V. 23. A law which Is higher than the
Mosaic law of meats and drinks, rules
the Christian life.—Rom. 8:2.
V. 26. Let us thankfully enjoy our
Heavenly Father’s good gifts.—1 Tim.
1:4.
V. 28. We can gladly forego any per-
sonal preference or pleasure for the
sake of helping another.—1 Cor. 8:13.
V. 32. We must take heed lest by
carelessness. If not by evil Intent, we
cast stumbling-blocks in the way of any.
—Rom. 14:13.

ecter, the Christian must stop to con- ^rmed* them!
eider what should
be his attitude
toward those things.
V. 24. “No man.” No person—man,
wftaan or child. “Seek his own." Make
It his own business to look after hie own
Interests. “But every man," etc. Bet-
ter in Revised Version, “but each his
neighbor’s good.” We should be unself-
ish In thought, word and action.
V. 25. “Whatsover is sold in the sham-
bles." A shamble is a slaughterhouse,
a- place where animals are slain for
food; the reference is to whatever meat
~has been slain thus, and Is sold In the
public market. Such meat, the apostle
says, the Christian may freely buy and
eat, "asking no question.” He is not to
fret himself or others by questioning
how the animal was slain, what has be-
come of other portions of it, or anything
of the sort. If the meat appears to have
been properly prepared so that It will
he wholesome, that Is all he needs to
know. "For conscience’ sake." You
ndfed have no conscientious scruples In
the matter.
V. 26. "For the earth Is the Lord’s,
atfd the fullness thereof.” This sentence
wits often used by the Jews as a grace
bfifore meals.
V. 27. The first question, concerning
wtiat food the Christian may buy in the
market for his family, having been set-
tled, the apostle now takes up the sec-
ond, one needing a more complicated
aBSWer—“How can a Christian partake
of food at the table of * pagan friend?"
“That believe not.” A pagan. “Bid you
to a feast.” Invite you tp A feast at-hls
house. Some had gone so far as to
claim that Christians might feast in an
Idol-temple, but Paul had expostulated
against this (10:14-21), showing It to
be an actual participation In idolatry.
V. 28. “BUt if any man say unto you,”
etc. If anyone, heathen host or guest.
or Christian guest. There would be no
Jew there, for Jews never ate with Gen-
tiles. If anyone raised the question,
then the matter was to he looked, at In
another light. “This. .In sacrifice.” If
a portion of the animal has been offered
to a heathen deity. “Eat not for his
sake.” His questioning about it showed
that he had a feeling that one partaking
of this meat was rendering homage to
-the idol to whom part of It had been
dedicated; hence for his sake the Chris-
tian had best decline to eat of the meat.
V. 29. “Conscience . . . not thine
own:” Not because you have any con-
scientious scruples of your own about
the meat. As the apostle has previous-
ly shown (8:4-6), an idol is nothing,
and food or aught else can be neither
Improved nor impaired by any relation
to it. “But of the other:” The con-
science of the other man, who raised the
question. To him you might do great
harm if you allowed him to judge, from
your eating this meat, that Idols and
Idolatry were not so bad, after all.
“Why Is my liberty judged?” the Word
judged has here the sense of con-
demned. The question Is: Why has
another any right to condemn what
my conscience approves? The an-
swer must be: He has no such right;
judging and condemning one another
is most unchristian; but v. 31 will lead
to the conclusion of this thought. V.
30 repeats the question In slightly dif-
fering form.
V. 30. “By grace partaker:” Better,
“If I partake with thankfulness:” The
Christian recognizes every good gift
as from his Heavenly Father, and at
heart, If not audibly, returns thanks to
Him for food and drink and all other
daily benefits.
V. 31. “To the glory of God:” Con-
sider, How do the eating and drinking
appear in His sight. Is all to His
glory? tt (■ a glorious as well as a
solemnizing thought that the great
God is glorified or dishonored by even
thp trivial acts of His children.
V. 32. “Give none offense:’’ Do not
wfllfully act so as to offend the con-
science of any or cause him to stumble
In* his Christian course, but rather sac-
rifice personal preferences In order to
avoid hurting any.
V. 32. “I please all men In all things: ”
Paul states his personal decision of the
questions that have been considered.—
Chap. 9.W-M
selves to drive the negroes from the
county and It was only with diligence
and legal persuasion that they were
made to desist.
Robbers Killed Agent’s Wife.
Mrs. N. C. Steadman, wife of the
Rock Island agent at Blnger, was shot
and killed by two men who were rob-
bing the station at that place. Stead-
man’s bedroom adjoined the office ol
the depot. Both he and his wife were
awakened by the noise at 3 a. m,
Steadman jumped up and fired at the
robbers three times. They In return
fired four times. The last shot struck
Mrs. Steadman In' the temple and
passed Into her brain as she sat erect
In bed, killing her Instantly. The rob-
bers escaped with but $3. It Is be-
lieved the robbers are negroes. The
territory of Oklahoma will pay a re
ward of 3600 for the arrest and convic-
tion of the party or parties guilty of
murdering Mrs. Steadman.
Appointment Caused Surprise.
Great excitement resulted when the
announcement was received at Guth-
rie that Col. Frank Frantz Is to be
appointed governor to succeed T. B.
Ferguson. The Republican office
holders are at sea. A majority of
them were appointed through the In
fluence of Dennis T. Flynn and when
word was received that Frantz got his
appointment after Delegate McGuire
had consulted with the president there
was consternation In the Flynn camp.
The „neys came as p. surprise to most
of them as It was generally believed
that Governor Ferguson would be re-
appointed.
Workman Caught in Shafting,
Wayn Lloyd, a young man who
works at the Klmbell gin at Altus, was
working near the main shaft when
part of his -clothing caught on to the
shaft and he was drawn into the ma-
chinery and whirled around. His heels
were seen whirling In’ the air by a
man who shouted to the engineer to
stop the machinery. This Is probably
all that saved his life. Lloyd has
three broken ribs and his body is
bruised all over, but his head was not
Injured. How he escaped being killed
la a mystery.
Enid Traveling Man Hurt.
W. L. Peck, of Enid, a traveling
salesman, had his collar bone broken
and was .otherwise injured by a col-
lision between two sections of freight
train No. 73 on the Rock Island be-
tween Dover and Kingfisher. The train
broke In two and the engineer stopped
the front end, the rear end striking
with great force, throwing Mr. Peck
against the side of the caboose. Sev-
eral other passengers were badly
shaken up. Sam Armstrong, a brake-
man, was thrown off the top of a
freight car and hurt Internally.
Apache Squaw Fatally Burned.
Mary Lott, an Apache Indian squaw,
was burned to death at her home, five
miles northeast of Lawton. She and
her husband, John Lott, It Is said, went
home gloriously drunk, built a large
fire In their dooryard and proceeded
to drink firewater. The woman stag-
gered and fell Into the fire and her hus-
band could not help her out. Her
screams attracted the attention of the
Inmates of Chief Geronlmo’s home near
by. and several Indians went to her
rescue, but not until every stitch of
her clothing was burned off.
Further Charge* Against Beauchamp.
Amendments have been filed to the
original petition In the case brought
by the county commissioners of Gar-
field county against Judge James K,
Beauchamp, specifying additional
sums alleged to be due" the county to
the amount of nearly $3,500. The pri-
mary reason for the addition to the
amendments Is said to be to bring the
amount over $5,000, so that the matter
can be appealed to the United States
supreme court If the decision goes
against the county In the lower courts.
Banquet to Judge Gillette.
District Judge FYank E. Gillette was
tendered a banquet by the bar of Com
anebe county at Lawton, at which 100
were served. Judge Gillette's home
In Anadarko. Judge Gillette was ap-
pointed here in 1902, when this county
was added to the then Seventh judic-
ial district, at which time there were
152 case* pending. One thousand eight
hundred thirty-nine cases having been
brought since, 1,334 have been dis-
posed sf, and there are yet pending
SIT.
That Golden Hoad.
Severul parties from near Bar-
ney and Orion have been in town
this week, who claim that the fann-
ers are anxious to go to york on
the Golden rpad in the western
part of Crowell township, but that
the township trustee will not allow
the tools belonging to the town-
ship to be used on that line, nnd
also that the trustee says he will
not call on those who have signed
up for donation work, until Fair-
view has finished her part of the
work and same has been accepted
)y the board. There must be some
mistake here,.as it hardly seems
possible that the trustee of that
township would deliberately block
this work now, as the attitude at-
tributed to him would indicate.
We have too much confidence in
Mr. Brewer to believe that he
would endeavor to prevent the com-
pletion of a work on which the
people are depending for relief
Irom present conditions. Fairview
is doing her part of this work as
fast as is possible with the avail-
able men and teams. Work on the
culberts for the first ten miles of
road are now being built and will
be put in immediately. The
bridges will be put in as soon as
the timbere can be obtained. The
work of grading the first six and one
half miles from town will probably
bo finished within ten days. Fair-
view is doing ail she ever agreed to
do, and stands ready to do more
than she promised, provided others
show the same good faith and do
wlial they have pledged their sa-
ored word to do. The grading for
the entire road should be done this
winter while the farmers have no
other work on hand, or else another
crop season will go by without see-
ing the rqad finished. We hope
and believe that the officers of
Crowell township will take hold of
this work at once and not only do
what they, have agreed to do, but
also give the farmers a chance to
do their part bv furnishing the
necessary tools at once.
"I THANK THE LORD!”
cried Hannah Plant, of Little Rock,
Ark., “for the relief I got from
Buckleu’s Arnica Salve. It cured
my fearful running sores, which
nothing else would heal, and from
which I had suffered for five years.'
It is a marvelous healer for cuts,
burns and wounds. Guaranteed at
