Influence OF Other Worlds.
Notice also In my text the influence
Of other worlds upon this world We
all regard the effect which our conti-
nent has upon other continents or one
hemisphere upon the other hemi-
sphere Great harvest or drought on
one side Of our world affects the other
side of our world. A panic in
Wall street. New York. has its echo
In Lombard street and the bourse.
The nations OF the earth cable
grammed together all feel the same
thrill OF delight or shock Of woe. But
we do. not appreciate the influence Of
other worlds upon our world The
author OF my text rouses MS to the
consideration. II takes an the worlds
OF known and unknown astronomy to
keep our world In its orbit every
world dependent on other worlds The
stellar existence is felt all through the
heavens Every constellation Is sis
terhood. Our planet feels the bene-
diction Of Alcyone and all the other
stars Of the Pleiades Yea, there are
two other worlds that decide the fate
Of our world. its redemption OF its de-
molition. These two worlds are the
headquarters Of angelology and dem
onology From the one world came
Christ. come ministering spirits. come

other world rise an satanic and dia-
bolic influence. From that world Of
moral night rose the power that
wrecked our poor world 5000 years
ago. and an the good work done since
then has not been able to get our
world out OF the breakers. But the
signals Of distress have been holsted
and the life lines are out. and our
worlds release Is certain The good
Influences Of the consecrated people In
our world will be centupled by the
help from the heavenly world. and the
divine power will overcome the de-
moniac. o man. o woman. expand
your idea and know the magnitude Of
a contest in which three worlds are
specially interested From all the
seven worlds which my text calls the
Pleiades there come no such powerful
influences as from the two worlds
that ] am now mentioning Ny only
hope for this world Is IN the re-
enforcement that Is to come from an
other world But that Is promised.
and so ! feel as sure Of the ratification
Of an evil as though looking out Of
my window today I saw the parks and
the gardens Towering into another
paradise and the apocalyptie angel
flying through the mist Of heaven

this world have become the kingdoms

The Wife's Inhuence.
Not sufficiently do We recognize the
sweet influence OF the wife. We men
are Of rougher mold. and our voice is
| loud. and our manners need to be
tanned. and gentleness is not as much
Of a characteristic as It ought to be.
and We often say things We ought to
take back Il is TO change this that
the good wife comes in. The interests
OF the twain are identical That which
from outsiders would be considered
criticism and to be resented becomes
kindly suggestion. sweet influences
that make us better men than we
otherwise would have been OF could
/ have been.
