THE COURIER.


The chief cauee Of the struggle for ex.
istence today lie over population. To To-
crease and multiply is the only tradi.
tional command that has been epon.
taniously obeyed by the great majority
OF the human race.
But IN civilized society the inevitable
result Of such obedience is the re-estab.
lishment 10 all its rigor OF that struggle
for existence-the war OF each against
all-tbe mitigation or abolition OF which
is the chief end Of intelligent social or.
ganization. Man must use his reason
and intellect, And the adjustment Of
the reproduction Of bis species to exist
ing condition OF society, is an excellent
way to display his superiority to tho
brute creation.
Mrs. Peattie's fear that woman will
cultivate her self until she is beyond her
husband, and will be lonesome In the
rarefied atmosphere OF Intelligence, is
nonsense. History records the evils OF
over production, even to the extent OF
some countries practicing infanticide to
control it, but never in the annals OF
tive has the human race suffered from
a surplus Of intelligence.
The American woman is busy wo
man and happy woman. and her home
lie as nearlya heaven az any SPOT on
earth. She is loved and petted and she
thrives in that congenial atmosphere.
and loves and pets everything 10 sight.
And those women who are 80 fortunate
ly situated in life as to Lave means and
time at their disposal are many OF them
doing noble work for their less fortu-
nate sisters, and thousands OF those
who only know the sombre side of life
are helped and comforted, cheered and
strengthened by those very women that
some men cannot see the raison d'etre
for their existence because they are not
engaged in swelling the census returns.

The Worlds Great Hone.

o faithful few,
Who dare to hold Gods word and wit
ness true,
Whose clear-eyed faith transcends our
evil time,
And DER the present wilderness Of
crime
Sees the calm future, with its robes of
green,
Its fieece-flecked mountains, and soft
streams between
Still keeps the path which duty bids
ye tread,
Though worldly wisdom shake its eau
tious head;
No truth from heaven descends upon
our sphere.
Without the greeting of the skeptic's
sneer;
Denied and Knocked at, till its bless
ings fall
Common as dew and sunshine over all.
Then DER earth's warfeld, till the
strife shall cease,
Like Morvens harpers, sing your song
of peace;
Lord, once again, that holy song a
tongue,
Which the glad angels of the Advent
sung,
Their cradle-anthem for the Savior's
birth,
Glory to God, and peace unto the
earth
Through the mad discord send that
calming word
Which wind and wave on wild Genes
areth heard,
Lift in Christs name His Cross against
the sword!
Not vain the vision which the prophets
saw,
skirting with green the fiery waste of
war,
Through the hot sand-gleam looming
soft and calm
On the skys rim, the fountain shading
palm.
Still lives for earth, which fiends so
long have trod,
The great hope resting on The truth OF
Evil shall cease and violence pass
away,
And the tired world breathe free
through a long Sabbath day.

Have you noticed the increase in

them 'or a while, count them and be
amazed at the number. They are not
natural; oh, dear, no; but are they less
attractive on that account? They are

and applied his lips to the other end of

She felt slight drawing of the skin,

The piece of skin sucked into the tube

Christians pleasures" Ps. %: 1-6.
Every time we prefer to pick out our
pastures for ourselves, we reject Christ
from being our shepherd. Would you
feel safer with a large annuity Sc
cured by gold bonds than you now feel
with only Gods promise to depend
upon? Then you don't believe Gods
promises. The religion of many people
leaves out altogether the lying down in
green pastures. They want to be NOV
ing all the time. They are not salts
fed with simply enjoying Cod Even
when the Christian is led onward by
God, it is not beside a rushing, foam
ing torrent but by the still waters.
There is always peace somewhere in
the Christians landscape. The Chris
tians pleasures are all the more de-
lightful because they come from unex-
pected places; even, sometimes, from
the valley of the shadow of death.
Their pleasures grow alongside every
path in which God leads them. Chris
tians do not need to pursue pleasure
that profitless task of the wording;
pleasure pursues them; goodness and
mercy follow them all the days of their
lives. Illustration: When man truly
loves woman, his highest ideal of
happiness is simply to be where she is,
to live in the same house with her.
And when we truly love God, our high
est joy, our greatest longing, is simply
to be where He is, to dwell in the
house of the Lord forever. Illustra-
ton: There is a metal, a compound
of iron and sulphur, named iron
pyrites. Miners call it fools gold, be-
cause it looks like gold and cheats the
unwary But the real gold Gre looks
tame beside it. So the pleasures of the
Christian seem dull to the wording,
but they are the true gold, neverthe-
less, and the wording gets only the
fools gold.

Creponette is without rival for SUI
premacy among the seasons inexpen-
siye fabrics. 1t comes in both smooth
and wavy patterns at something less
than 80 cents, and like most other very
up-to-date materials can be seen in
all of the delightful new hues.
The wavy patterns, however, are not
warranted to retain their crinkled
loneliness against the damaging in
fiuences of a damp atmosphere and for
this reason the smooth effects afford a
wiser field for investment.
A very stylish toilet in a smooth fin
ish creponette is here shown. The
skirt is gored and trimmed over the
hips with a curved pattern of braided
goods put on so that it seems to have
