from the blather skite of journalism,
the New York Sun. Within tho last
few yeais the Sun has been anything
aud everything according to its needs
aud the direction OF the wind. It
was once ardently Democratic and
hourished ard fattened on Demo
cratic money, but like all turn coats
of its class, kicks and curses it's for
mer friends. Below are two nice
little bits from its columns, aud also
Ct mment from the Washington
Post. The Sun says:

he would vote the Democratic ticket.
1t is his ticket, it is his hope. He is
praying fpr it In his attack upon
the United States his allies are the

city OF New York, anomalous usually
because of its political psrversity aud
disregard of its own interests, the
election may mean nothing deserv-

The Post, commenting on the

Peace Through Trust.

To see God is to feel our distance from
Him, and that distance Is made by our sin.
To know God is to be brought near to Him,
and that includes forgiveness for our sins.
He is revealed rs our Father through Jesus
Christ and only through Him. His perfect
manhood reveals God, and to rellve his life
is to know the Father as the Son has revealed
Him. That We reproduce that life 80 ilaper-
fectly is no reason for dlscouragement, for
Jesus Christ not only opens and shows :he
way to God. but gives power to walk in it
and more life with more experience in that
way He Is more to His disciples than any
man could be, even their dearest friend
more than all men. For He has brought
them as sinners, into touch with
God, and they know it. Call that SER
vice expiation if you will, though that
word Is not in the Bible, or atonement,
though that word Is not in the revised YER
sion OF the New Testament, or Precipitation,
or redemption through His blood. What
ever you call it, 1t is nothing to you till you
know 1t by experience. Then you know
you are at peace with God because yonr
trust in Christ is reckoned for righteous
ness, and Is constantly becoming righteous
ness more complete through growing
knowledge OF Him whose life you seek to
reproduce. Then you know that He IL the
Way. the Truth and the Life, the one Me-
diator between God and mun. This Is
spirituality, word which Christ never
used, though what we mean by 1t He called
life eternal and described 1t as knowing
the true God and Jesus Christ, whom He
sent into the world.

Nothing Done COZ Hand"

Every great victory is the result OF years
OF preparation. 1t is not given to any man
to achieve success in life without this prepa-
ration. Dewey began years ago to prepare
for the victories that have within year
made him the idol Of the people Of his coun-
try. His triumphs have been due to the
preparation that made him capable OF max
ing use OF the opportunity when it came to
him. Every success in life Is the expression
OF mans ability to recognize and lay hold
OF opportunity. And no man can do this
without preparation. The man who ex-
poets to achieve victories "off hand
never achieves them No great book was
ever written, no great sermon ever
preached, no great picture ever painted, "o1
hand" They are all the result OF the cumu-
lative power OF work and growth and de-
velopment. The man who writes the great
sermon began to master all the details OF 1t
during his first years at college. The man
who wrote the great book began to adapt
himself to the work OF writing 1t years be-
fore line OF it was ever penned. And only
the artist who paints a great picture knows
Of the years Of patient, wearisome prepara-
ton back Of the finished work.

No Room for Revenge.

or Abraham Lincoln it has Deen beauti-
fully said: "His heart wa' as great as the
world. but there was no room In 1t to hold
the memory Of wrong" Is not the sec
ond clause OF the sentence really included
in the first? Is not maguaminity OF heart
greatness precisely that quality which over
mean and base, scorning to take
account Of such minute, Insignificant
matters as mere personal sights and
injuries? He who Is truly larger heurted
and high-minded Is ever generous in his sem
timents and conduct toward others. He IS
too exalted to cherish envious or vindictive
feelings. Let him who is conscious OF any
OF these low feelings or motives reflect that
by giving way to them he writes himself
down rs IL small man, unworthy to be clasSed
with the great. And this classification, un-
like some others, will be ratified In the
other world.

Come Czose to Him-As God Sees Us
It GENES to me often in silence
When the flrellght sputters low
When tho black. uucertain shadows
Seem wraiths OF tho long ago;
Always with throb OF heartnche
That thrills each pulsive. vein,
Comes the old, unquiet longing
For the peace OF home again.
I'm sick OF the roar OF cities,
And OF faces cold and strange;
know where there's warmth OF welcome,
And my Yearning fancies range
Back to the GEAR old homestead
With an aching sense OF pain,
But there'll be Joy in the coming
When 1 so home again.
When 20 home again. There's music
That never may die away,
And it seems that the hands OF angels
On Il mystic heart at play
Have touched with yearnins sadness
On beautiful. broken strain,
To which is my fond heart wording
When 80 home again.
Outside of my darkening window
Is the great worlds crash and din,
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting. drifting In.
Sobbing the night wind murmurs
To tho splash of the autumn rain.
But dream OF the glorious greeting
When l go home again.

NEW cLAssMAKINc PROCESS.
Electricity Used to Melt Sand With Re-
markable Results.

markable Results.
A lamp chimney manufacturer In Indiana
has patented new process which may
reyolutionize glass making. Heretofore
the greatest trouble In glass maxim lay In
the melting OF the sand. 1t has taken q
great deal OF time. and requires the best
fuel, natural gas being the best adapted,
While passing through bis plant recently
the manufacturer saw a globe on an arc
light break, and piece OF glass fell on the
carbon. It was only u second until 1t was
reduced to liquid and dripped to the
ground. This gave him his cue, aud ne
directed the construction OF big vat, with
sides and bottom composed CT cHrbons,
over which he could turn lateral and
longitudal current. An arrangement was
made to run the sand through this vat. 1t
worked perfectly, and the best molten
glass Is being turned out In almost rs many
seconds as it required hours for the old
fuels to melt 1t.
The vat Is heing used. It Is so arranged
that 1t oan be adapted for evory kind OF
glass making, from plate to bottles. The
cost Of melting by this process Is not as
great as by using coal or oil, though it may
DO more expensive than natural gas.
