FARM LOAN BOARD' TOJSIT SOUK STOP AT CAPITALS Senator Fletcher Will Insist Tha Substatial Recognition Re Given This Section. Washington, Sept. 29.?With tli return of the farm loan board b Washington yesterday. Senator I). I Fletcher of Florida' at once tool steps not onlv to have the boar make an immediate trip South, bu to give substantial recognition b that section in other ways. It is understood to be the inten tion of the board to make a ver; limited stay in the South and to sto| only at the capitals of the differen States visited. Senator Fletcher believes that al though the present law is a splendit thing, that it may be improved upon He has recently made a compilatioi from census bureau figures whicl shows that in the South there shoulr be more farm loan banks than wil probably be the case under presen conditions. The wealth of that sec tion and the growth which it is mak ing convince Senator Fletcher thai the South should have more recognition and more banks. The efforts of the people of Co lumbia who are interested in secur ing one of these banks for their city should be directed toward Senatoi Fletcher and they should get ii touch with him without delay so thai when the farm loan board goes ti Jacksonville it may also stop a reasonable length .of time at Columbia Senator Fletcher is in daily touct with Secretary McAdoo and the mem bers of this board and competitior is likely to become lively as the re suit of his efforts to get action immediately from a Southern stand point. With Senator Fletcher*! strong influence the board can noi overlook the interests of the South even should there be a dispositior otherwise to do so. in favor of somt of the bigger agricultural sections ol the West.

Kaiser, etc., will show that ' I was a party to the "simplifying" and not "mystifying" of the subject, t If the 13th chapter is not of a {mathematical sense, why is n> ubers used? And if solving problems by analysis is not simplifying, then 1 clam no mathematician. v >! That subject came to my mind and I wrote it, with no intention of ever k mentioning it again, but if my [i | friend of Tampa, Fla., wants a full 'newspaper controversy, and the kind oj Editor will give space, 1 am ready. True, 1 am crowded almost to the -'limit with business matters, but. nevy j ertheless, I do not know of you, nor P i what you represent. Your name is t not in my catalogue of Baptist preachers. Sorry I have no cata logue of all the denominations. I 1 am only a layman in a Baptist . | church. i I was speaking of Revelation as i u ? iiu-ii is anvajs in uie iuI ture tense. 1 Listen: Justin Moryr, circ. 150 t A. D. says: "A man among us who's - name was John, one of the apostles - of Christ, in a revelation which was 1 made to him, prophesied that the be lievers in our Christ shall live a thousand years in Jerusalem." In the intervals between the apos tolic age and that of Constatine. the r visions of John were chiefly regarded r as representations of general Chirsi tian truths. Scarcely yet embodied t in actual facts, for the most part to > be exemplified, or fulfilled in the reign of Antichrist, the coming of . Christ, the Mellenium, and the day i of judgment. Immediately after the triumph of' 1 Constantine, the Christians emancipated from oppression and persecu" tion, and dominant, and prosperous in their turn, began to loose their 3 vivid expectation of our Lord's ' speedy advent, and their spiritual [conception of His kingdom and to '(look upon the temporal supremacy \of Christianity as a fulfillment of the ' promised reign of Christ on earth. The Roman 'empire become Christian was regarded no longer as the 'object of prophetic denunciation, but as the seem* Millennial develop; ment. The view, however, was soon met. 1 by this figurative interpretation of the Millennium as the reign of 1 Christ in the hearts of all true believers. As the barbarous and heretical invaders of the fallen empire appear , ed, they were regarded by the suffering Christians as fulfilling the woes , denounced in Revelation. Modern interpreters are generally I placed in three great divisions, (a. I The historical, or continuous ex. poaitors, in whose opinion the Revetion is a progressive history of the future of the church from the first century to the end of time. (b.) iThe praeterist expositors, who are of ' opinion that the Revelation has been I almost, or altogther fulfilled in the) ? time which has passed since it was written; that it refers principally to ' the triumph of Christianity, Judiasm and Paganism, signalized in the ^downfall of Jerusalem and Rome. (c.) The futurist, expositors, whose . views show a strong reaction against some extravagance of the two pre, ceding schools. They believe that i the whole book, excepting the first i three chapters, refers principally, if I not exclusively to events which are jyet to come. Two methods have been proposed by which the reader | of the Revelation may escape the incongruities and fallacies of the different interpretations, whilst he may derive edification from whatever! ' truth they contain. It has been suggested that the book may be regarded as a prophetic , poem, dealing in general and inexact descriptions, much of which may be ,I set down as poetic imagery. Mere , embellishment. But such a view ; would be difficult to reconcile with the j belief that the book is an inspired prophesy. _| A better suggestion is made, or l rather is revived, by I)r. Arnold in his sermons on the 'Interpretation of Prophesy." That we should bear in , mind that predictions have a lower f' historical sense; that there may be .'one, or more than one typical, inper_ feet, historical fulfillment of a pro j, phesy, in each of which the higher J spiritual fulfillment Is shadowed . forth more or less distinctly. ,J I did not say (?od favored war, or e| would ever be commander-in-chief 0 in war, but I do say He give out the advance Information that there would be wars. The prophesy in Revelations extends to the Millinnium, to the consutnation of the age. and why not apeak of the present B time? I believe when Jesus was talking to John, He knew of the * 4 Tire LANCASTER NiTO MILL SCHOOL WORK AGAINjDER WA1 MUCH PROGRESS MADI New Huildin^s Nearinjr Comple tion?Extra Tax Levies Voted and Teachres Added.
