Christ's Yearning For Souls.

As Christ's life on earth is studied
nothing else makes a deeper impress
sion than His ardent, ceaseless. tender
longing for the salvation of mems
souls, and not only that they might be
saved from sin and its consequences.
but also that they might learn TO ap-
preciate their wonderful powers and
opportunities and to do justice to them
selves and to enter into that rich and
blessed experience which only the re-
deemed can know. Something of this
longing for souls is visible in every
true Christian Ii is more evident in
some than in others. even when equal
ly intense, because of differences in
our temperaments. But In Jesus il
was supreme both because of the abso-
lutte, fiawless righteousness of His own
character, the ineffable purity and ho-
illness of His own soul and also be-
cause He knew. as no other man ever
has known or can know, what a hui
man soul actually is and can become

A Mans Right to His opinion.

Few people stop to question the as
sumption. often held with tenaeity,
that "a man has right to his own
opinion" and yet a little reflection
ought to enable one to see that an opin-
ion has no value to its possessor or to
those to whom it may be vociferously
presented unless it is based on knowl-
edge or sane power Of discrimination
or disinterested and adequate view of
the matter under consideration. What
right has man who Is ignorant and
preJudiced with regard TO certain
situation in which facts and argument
are involved to have any opinion at
all? He may have right to his sus-
picions. guesses, fears or even his
whimsical. baseless suppositions. but
none of these can be said to rank as an
opinion. Christian Advocate.

TELL YOUR AGE

When the Census Enumeration Comes
Around-Why 1t Is Wanted.
The blank schedules to be used in the
next census are now being distributed by
the census office to the enumerators. W no
will start to work on June l. The sched-
ules contain questions which some per-
sons may think prying, purposeiess, or ex-
eessive in number. But their nun Der and
character have been determined by Con-
gress, not by the census office.
People are often offended at the ques-
tion, "How cid are yous" and are apt to
wonder what use the government can
make OF their replies. Taken as whole
the replies are as important as any class
OF information the census Office collects.
Age returns penetrate and eiucidate
every other branch Il statistical know
ledge. They show where child labor is
prevalent, and wkere the proportion Of
persons able to support themselves is
large or small. They reveal the great
number of coiorei children and the short
life of the negroes under present ron
ditions. They make II possible 10 ascer
tain whether the average length OF life
is increasing or decreasing, how many
men the nation contains who are capa Bile
OF voting or bearing srms, and whether
the relsiiye number OF children is in
cressing or decreasing.
Some mothers may shrink from stating
the number of children they have had
and the number who are living But
from the answers to these guesti ions the
country will learn whe, her the native
American population is holding its own,
or whet her, as some have claimed. it is
being gradually supplsnted and displaced
by the children OF recent immigrants.

WHAT HAPPekeOl
AN EXPLOSION THAT MYsTIfIEs
BETHEL.

Are the Bethel people the only ones
who were treated to an unexpected noise
at l 80 A. NJ. Sunday morning! The
general decision IL, that 1t was an earth
quake, although no one seems to admit
Of hearing such report before In con-
nection with quake. Certainly never
did. The generator quite so-impres-
sion was that some safe In the village
had been cracked; others likened the
sound to that of q stable floor going
down into basement, or a foundation
wall going In, or thst member OF the
family had tumbled out Of bed, etc. 1t
was amusing on Sunday morning to hear
the different ideas expressed by the dif.
ferent ones congregated at the street
corners. Presume we shall learn Of II
through the papers.
Under later date our correspondent
writes:
About that earthquake" seems q
mystery. have made up my mind II
could be no earthquake at all. But
what, nobody knows.
Think Ii must be the explosion OF
a big meteor. / have seen them and
hesrd the report from explosion. Many

later. Fifteen minute halves. Gould's
kicked of, aud the ball was In South
Paris territory during most OF the hrst
half.
Gould's lost the ball once within two
Yards OF the goal line, but got back
there after while, and when the last
plsy OF the half WAS begun, the ball lay
about a ward from the line-and there
wss two seconds OF time left. That two
seconds was long enough 10 start IL, and
though the timers called Times up!
before the ball crossed the line, IL was In
PLAY, and was carried 10 TOUCHDOWN,
and goal was kicked.
The second half WAS without special
