I Knew.


by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Under the snow, in the dark and the
cold,
A pale little sprout was humming;
Surely it sang meath the frozen mould,
OF the beautiful days that were coming.
''How foolish your songs said a lump
OF clay,
What is there, ! ask, to prove them?
just look at the walls between you and
the day?
Now have you the strength to move
them?"
But under the ice and under the snow,
The pale little sprout kept singing,
~ cannot tell how; but l know, l know,
| know what the days are bringing.
Birds and blossoms and buzzing bees,
Blue, blue skies above me;
Bloom on the meadows and buds on the
trees,
And the great glad sun to love me-"
A pebble spoke next. you are quite
absurd"
It said, with your songs insistence,
For | never heard of a tree or a bud,
So of course there are none in exis-
%tence,'
But / know, / know" the tendril cried,
In beautiful sweet u%nreason;
Till 10! from its prison, gloritied,

AS q Man Soweth.

When men learn that they will
have to for every thought,
word and deed in their own bodies
and souls and that no sin can be ''for-
given" in the sense of cleansing a
mar of sin, unless he has fully alton
ed for that sin in the proper way,
then, and her only will they begin
to be careful of all they do. There
is no difference between the physical,
moral and spiritual law in this mat
ter. If one contracts a cold, or burns
his hand, he, and he alone, has to bear
the consequence and the suffering.
So it is i'll the moral and spiritual
realm-he must suffer out to the full
any sin or infraction of the law just
the same as in the physical world.
No other way would he just to the
man, or just to his fellow men. The
idea that a man can do some grevious
wrong to his fellow man and then
have that wrong forgiven has done a
world of harm in its time. But men
are discarding that doctrine. They
are beginning to see that the only
just way is for each man to pay his
W debts in the moral and spiritual
world, just the same as he is compell-
ed to do i'll the material world. BY
this law he receives his reward
for good deeds also. Every deed,
good or bad, bears fruit of some kind.
"Whatsoever a nan soweth that
shall he also reap"

To All of Which We Say, Amen"
The Press editor has been asked the
question, why do you harp so much
on the subject of humane treatment of
animals? One would suppose, from
reading The Press. that we are u com
munity of brutes." In reply to the
above, we will say our friend is greatly
mistaken if he supposes we hold any
such belief. However there are people
right here in Evanston who are sadly in
need of enlightenment on this subject,
though the vast majority of our people
need no instructions from us on the hu.
name treatment Of animals. We have
strong convictions on this subject, and
so long as The Press remains under its
present management our voice will al
ways be raised in behalf OF our poor
dumb friends.

The Eternal Law.

Every one who is inclined to strive
daily to control his speech and to
curb the tongue, should commit to
memory, and act on the following,
which is called the eternal law" con-

Let him say what is true; let him
say what is pleasing; let him utter no
unpleasant truth, and let him utter
no agreeable falsehood; this is the
