of this free competition would have the
effect of determining, through the free
will of individuals, what number of
men, and what men, should devote
themselves to each of the multifold
branches of industry, in order to secure
for society at large the most econom-
ical use of the productive forces, and
the largest result in desired satisfac-
tons But it can not be said that this
would absolutely end useless effort, for
the reason that, as to many things,
what will be useful and what useless
can not be determined without expert
ment All new inventions, discoveries
and adjustments involve experiment
and the liability to useless effort; but
to stop this would put an end to prog

result proves that they do not But to
prevent this would be to prevent the
public being apprised of things that

There dwells not the sun but the sun-source
and the source OF the source OF the sun.
The film fails from our dim vision and we sec
not an one, but the one,
The lmmatcria presences we there shall Sec

And our earth-born idea Of the beautiful will

All that is noble in character, will be counted
as precious and fair,
The hero, prophet ahd martyr will be of the
peerage there.
With intricate laces of emerald tendrils, en-

Are flowers of mind and of virture, noble,
sublime and true.
Its streams no darkening monster pollutes or
turks in the depths below;
Its woods do not hide a horror or conceal Il

Its fruit will not bring disappointment, or
stain the Holy Ones hands.
Famine of good or floods of ills never devas-
