suppose many of US have tried to solve
the problem "How shall we divide our
timer" while ringing through either our
conscience or our consciousness are the
words: ''These things ought We to have
done and not to leave the other undone -
Busy housekeepers say, what shall we do?
Which shall we do? Which claim is the
duty call?
1t seems as though something really
necessary must be left undone. If one

Each to HI. Own Place.

One may hesitate to speculate about
the circumstances Of the other world,
but one can never crush out the con-
viction that there must be one place
for St John, who was Jesus friend,
and another for Judas Iscariot who
was His betrayer. One has seen sheep
and swine feeding in the same field
till evening and has followed until the
sheep were gathered into their fold
and the swine ran greedily to their sty.
The last complaint that would have oc-

owners had separated them, the last

Things We Know About Heaveu

Heaven belongs to the unseen. 1t be-
longs to the spiritual. and, therefore.
cannot be fully known as long as we
are in the material. 1t belongs to the
perfectly holy, and. therefore. much
OF what might be known cannot be
perceived or comprehended, for the
natural man cannot know things Of the
Spirit OF God. for they are spiritually
discerned. No one returns to tell his
experience or describe to US what he
has seen Angels feet are always upon
the ladder going from US to God and
returning to minister to US. but they
minister In SILENCE. We bear no voice
as they serve. There are many ques-
lions we would like to ask, many ques-
tons we do ask, but neither by the
written word nor by vision in the
night is any answer given. Heaven
lies beyond the domain Of the present
life, and we must wait until we come
into the fullness Of the Spirit. until we
enter the higher sphere Of being, be-
fore we can know or comprehend its
realities and glories and blessings.
Such knowledge is as yet too wonder
full for us. 1t is high; we cannot at.
tain it.-United Presbyterian.

SOUTHWEST HARBoR.

The annual meeting OF the Frances Z.
Willard w. c. I. L., was held Friday,
Sept. Z. Owing to misplaced library key.
the place OF assembly was the schoolroom,
where there gathered a very fair represen-
tation of mem bers, some OF whom were
doubly welcome as they are not often
privileged to meet in white ribbon council.
The meeting was opened by singing,
followed by scripture reading and prayer.
The topic for responsive readings was
"Franchise." Particular attention was
called to the following resolutions passed
by the Wyoming legislature:
Resolved, That the possession and exercise
of suffrage by the women of Wyoming for the
last quarter of a century has wrought no harm,
and has done great good In many ways; that It
has secured peaceful and orderly elections, and
We point to the facts that, after nearly twenty.
five years of woman's suffrage, not one county
in Wyoming has n poor house, that our jail- are
almost empty, and crime, except that committed
by strangers in the state. Is almost unknown; as
a result of experience, we urge every civilized
community the earth TO enfranchise Its
women without delay.
Resoiued, That an authenticated copy of
these resolutions be forwarded by the governor
of the to the legislature of every state and
territory in this country and to every legislative
body In the world and that we request the press
throughout the civilized world to call the alten b.
ton of Its readers to these resolutions.
The Frances Z. Willard union voted to
do its share in circulating this grand
manifestation OF the success of equal suf-
frage. After a brief discussion Of the
question, the regular order OF business was
taken up.
The treasurer's report showed a good list
OF members in good standing, though the
half dozen or more new memb gained
were unterbalanced by an equal IL not
greater mum Der who, by reason OF removal
or indifference, had failed to pay dues.
The superintendent's reports having
been submitted to the county convention
in June ready to be passed ON to the State
officials, it was deemed unnecessary to
have them again presented.
Nearly all present promptly paid dues
for the coming year, and all the business of
the meeting was quickly and harmo-
niously disposed Of by the able president,
who was unanimously reelected, as were
also the other officers. The board stands
as before: Mrs. A. M. Lawton, president;
Mrs. A. w. Clark, first vice-president and
corresponding secretary; j. M. Mason, re-
cording secretary; Mrs. P. c. Clark, treas
urer. The election Of superintendent will
be considered at another meeting.
To the regret Of all it was found that but
two members could make plans to attend
the State convention at Calais, and they
were accordingly elected delegates-Mrs

JUST COMMON FOLKS,

If only sweetest bells were rung,
How we should miss the minor chimes.
If only grandest poets sung,
There'd be no simple little rhymes.
The modest clinging vine adds grace
To all the forests giant oaks,
And mid earths mighty is place
To people with just common folks.
Not they the warriors who shall win
Upon the battlefield a name
To sound above the awful din
Not theirs the painters deafness fame;
Not theirs the poets muse that brings
The rhythm; gift his soul iDvokes;
Theirs but to do the simple things
That duty gives just common folks.
Fate has not lifted them above
The level of the human plane;
They share with men fellow love,
In touch with pleasure and with pain.
One great, far reaching brotherhood,
With common burdens, common Jokes,
And common wrongs and common good
Gods army of just common folks.
