time each has satisfied the powerful
mind of man. But each in turn has
been abandoned as investigation
progressed, and at present the
world IS not thought to rest at all.
There is now chance, however, for
some bold constructive mind to turn
back toward the early theory and
breach the notion that the earth
does rest, not, to be sure, upon a
turtle, but perhaps upon a founda-
ton Of toads. What other function
these retiring creatures do perform
is not manifest, certainly, When
ever explorers get down into the
earth far enough they find toads
with actual mountains resting on
their shoulders. In the SChhemann
investigation at Tlium, toads were
found beneath the ancient city far
below the surface. The same thing
happens almost everywhere that peo-
pie dig; and now again, last week.
in California coal mine, one was
found one hundred and seventy-fve
feet below the surface Of the earth,
ante-dating Argonauts, great trees,
grizzly bears or even the great sto-
ries Of that region. Precisely what
is the occupation of this hidden
lining Of toads it is difficult to de-
eide. Manifestly they are not oc-
cupied with supporting themselves.
1t they are not supporting the earth
they are apparently useless. Hart

What the general effect of the
press upon the religious elements of
the people is, may not be clear to
many at present. If by religion is
meant adhesion simply to the tenets
of a sect and zeal to promote them
then We do not find it helpful. IF
by 1t IS meant merely favor of
deyout feeling that requires for its
nourishment strong indictments of
devotional exercise, then we cannot
look for special assistance here.
But if it is meant robustness and
energy Of moral character, a life which
while recognizing it's dependence
upon the Supseme Being, strives to
put things to the uses that Re des-
igned, and make human existence,
nobler and more prosperous in all its
relations, then we say the press docs
contribute to this end, and will doubt
less do SO more and, still the great
ends of the race are accomplished on
earth-REY. H. N. Powers. @
