The struggle OF to-day is not alto
gether for tomorrow; it is Tor a vast
future also. Every day is gift re-
ceive from heaven; let me enjoy to-
day that which it hestows upon me.
1t belongs not more to the young than
to me; and tomorrow belongs to no
one To-day is given us by Him to
whom belongs days-we have the
power to use it as We please: we are

important that we do the proper work
of to-day in the sphere OF to-day

Whatever others may teach, oul
Savior evidently believed that only
from supernatural source could that be
brought about which in its essence is
supernatural itself. The most serious
aspect of the denial of our Lords
teachings lies in the fact that moi
a few persons take it for granted thai
they are growing better and better
and more godlike. They are politely
selfish, pretentiously refined. and con-
clude that they are making substantial
progress toward heaven.-Rev. DR.

Gain of Prayers Granted or Denied.

"8fH OF rayer* VrAhteu OF Denied.
Hindrances are helps in the life we
live and in the paths we tread. 1t is
because of Gods love for us that he
denies us so many things we ask him
for, and that he gives us SO many
things we pray him to spare us from
This, we may all see. has been the
case in our own experience, as we
look back on the years that are gone
What have been Gods ways with US,
in contrast with our petitions to God,
ought TO assure us of Gods wisdom
and love, and our lack of knowledge
even where we thought we knew our
greatest needs. Yet we have a right
and duty to make our desires known
to God daily, and to rest all with him,
according to his wisdom and love.

alcohol, so far from assisting the pa

The Only PensIoned Veteran of 1919.
Hiram Cronk of Ava, a veteran of
the War of 1872, and the last surviving g
pensioner of that struggle, was 102
years old April 80. Heretofore the day
has been celebrated in some apprOpri-
ate manner by the relatives and
friends of the old veteran, but owing
to the advanced years of Mr.. Cronk
and the fact that he has been some
what feeble for some time past, it was
deemed unwise to mark the occasion
this year by any special event.
Mr.. CrOnk was born in the town of
Frankfort, Herkimer county, April 90,
1900, but in his early youth moved to
this county and lived for some time at
Wright Settlement. the family later
moving farther north and locating In
the town Of Ava. During the last
months of the War of 1912 Mr.. CronK,
then a mere stripping. enlisted with
his father and two brothers and served
about 100 days at Sackett's Harbor.
For a long time he received but SS
month pension, but within the past
few months. by a special act of Con-
gress. his pension had been increased
to $25.-Utica Daily Press.

The Loving Dead.
We hold our sacred dead aloof.
We put them by like treasures old,
No more for them or hearth or roof,
But narrow dwellings lone and cold.
The dear. warm hearts that fell asleep!
Why shun them in our secret thought?
Why at distance keep
As If some change were in them
wrought?
They cease not from their constant love.
They not strange and TAR away:
Their presences about us move
Closer than presences of clay.
How it must grieve them, when they come
Heart-cIose. and find welcome there!
ar whisper love. and find us dumb.
Forgetful, hedged with servile care!
oh. let US hold our dear ones close
Closer and closer. when they move
Beyond the veil! For no one knows
The preciousneSs of human love!
