SOME EPIGRAMs BY HUXLEY
Some of the striking epigrammatic
sayings found in the late Prof. Hux-
ley's writings are as follows:
OF oil the senseless babble l have
ever had occasion to read, the dem
onstration ofthose philosophers who
undertake to tell us all about the
nature of God would be the worst
if they were not surpassed by the
still greater absurdities Of those who
undertake to prove there is no God.
Logical consequences are the
scarecrows of fools and the beacons
of wise men.
The only question which any wise
man can ask himself, and which
any honest man will ask himself, is
whether a doctrine is true or false.
Consequences will take care of them
selves.
The laws of nature are statements
of tendencies.
Each living being strives, know
ingly or ignorantly, to exert all its
powers for the satisfaction OF its
needs.
The state of sentient nature al
any given time is the result OF the
momentarily balanced oppositions
of millions upon millions of indi-
viduals, each doing it's best to get
all it can and keep all it gets.
Reading and experience have led
me to believe that the results of po-
litical changes are hardly ever those
which their friends hope for or their
foes fear.
IL | were offered O free hand BY
almighty power, should, like Ham
let, shudderingly object to the res
possibility of attempting to SET
right world out Of joint.

One night when Mr.. Isaac Reese

Hatch, a prominent merchant Of
Quarterm'ter, Washington, l heard
him grooming. On going to his
room l found him suffering from
craml collie. He was in such agony
l feared he would die. l hastily
gave him a dose of Chamberlain

first words he uttered were, "what
was that stuff You gave me?" in
formed him. A few days ago we
were talking about his attack and
he said he was never without that
remedy now. / have used it in my

philosophers were Of the opinion
that the Internal regions were To-
Gated at an equal distance from oil
parts Of the earth's surface, which
may be the foundation for the mod
ern idea which locates hell at the
center OF our planet. This belief
in centrally located place of tor
ment or utter humiliation appears
to have existed among the Jews at
q very early date also. According
to their belief there were three pas
sages leading TO it: The wilderness,
BY which route Datham, Korah and
ADRIAN descended; the sea, because
it is written that Jonah cried to
God out Of the belly of hell, and a
third passage, which last was at
Jerusalem. This third and last
idea of the mouth of hell being To-
Gated in the capital of Palestine is
founded upon the Biblical passage
which says: "The fire Of the Lord
is iii Zion, and his furnace is in
Jerusalem The Mohammedans,
who are noted for their supersti-
tons regard for the number seven,
declare that hell is provided with
seven gates, each intended for the
followers Of the different religions.
The first 10 for recreant Mussul-
mans; the second Every wide and
with shutter always standing in
vitingly ajar), is for Christians on
ly; the third (located near the
second and almost as wide and
roomy) is reserved for Jews; the
fourth gate is the one through which
the spirits of the Sabeans will enter
the land Of torment.
Like the last two it is wide enough
to do a wholesale business without
crowding. The fifth is a small
loophole of a gate intended for the
sect Of the Maji-a sect so insight
ficant that the Mohammedans' hell
idea apparently grudgingly allowed
a separate opening for their spirits
when on the way to eternal punish
ment. The sixth gate (the only
circular opening in the walls of
hell is the gate by which the pag-
ans will enter. Why the pagan gate
is believed to be circular have never
seen explained, but hope to be able
to find out 30 as to give a mote in
some future installment of this de-
partment Of The Republic. The
seventh gate in the walls of the
Mohammedan hell is reserved for
the hypocrites of all religions.
Strange to say, its one of the small
est of the gates.
Winston, the English astrono-
mer, believed hell to be located on
a comet, and that one moment the
damned were suffering in the Bills
tering rays of the sun, and the next
in cold hundreds of degrees below
zero.
The Christian idea of hell, old as
it is, gives but very dim outline
of the probable location of the Lake
which burneth forever and ever
Also, there is a controversy as to
whether it really burns forever and
ever or only has effects which are
everlasting in their nature.
Louis Republic.
