VINO was all the time saying important
Things, said nothing more startlingly sug
gestiye than when he declared, "None OF
us liveth or dieth to himself" Words
thoughts, actions, have an eternity Of
night. As Job could not bind the sweet
influences of the Seven Stars. as they
We're called. so we cannot arrest or turn
aside the good projected long ago. Those
influences were started centuries before
our cradle was rocked and will reign cen
lures after our graves are dug. Oh, it is
tremendous thing to live! God help us
to live Alright.
Astronomers can easily locate the Plei-

influences far back that have affected our
character and viii affect our destiny. We
know the influences near by-paternal.

have gone back two generations or at
most three our investigations falter and
fail. Through the modern interesting
