neither shall he go out of the sanctuary,
nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for
the crown Of the amounting oil of his God
is upon him; am the Lord" (Leviticus
xxi: 1922. How close this teaching is,
and how completely many of us are con.
demned as we apply it to our own lives.

l have not been able to find in the New

Lords Prayer, any place where it is said
that the Christian must ask for forgiveness
of sins, but I do read in John i: !, s. 0.

light, we have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all sin. Ii we say that
we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and
the truth is not in us. If we confess our
sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins, and to cleanse us from all un-
righteousness" ] learn then that il

forgive them and cleanse me perfectly, and
when He forgives sin He always forgets it.

The Lord is good. Sometimes we forget
it. Sometimes we feel it. Always we
know it. Few men are really skeptical as
to the goodness of the great God who is
author and upholder We pity the man,
that rare man, who has lost all faith in
goodness and all faith in God. The Lord
is good. The need is to translate that dec
laration of Holy Writ into terms OF per-
sonal experience, to carry it with one as q
daily conviction and comfort, and to. live
in constant atmosphere OF praise and
prayer in the spirit OF the Psalmist, who
declared: II will bless the Lord at all
times. New York Observer.

THE WORLD'S END.

Professor w. H. Holmes, director
of the United State; bureau of eth
nology, suggests two ways in which
the world is more or less likely to
wind up:
The waters on the surface of the
globe, which already have been large
ly absorbed into the earths crust,
may sink deeper and deeper as the
cooling of the interior goes on, until
the outside is desiccated desert, I'M
fit for man or ,ast. Or the waters
may continue to act as they act today
upon the land, cutting down the hills
and mountains little by little, but
nevertheless surely, until all the land
is beneath the sea, save such artificial
continents as man himself may raise.
AS between these two possibilities,
the former would seem to be more
likely. Professor W. j. MCGEE says
that the globe is certainly cooling and
drying, much of the water being con-
verified into solids. For example,
plants consume water and convert
them, into solid compounds (plant
tissues) {; but, when the plants decom-
pose, they do not become water again
| Water is being absorbed into the crust
of the earth, and, owing to the pro-
gressive drying, tn continents are get
ting bigger. On the other hand, we
are learning how to utilize the avail
able water more effectively and, some
day we shall find out how to manu-
facture water by the electrolytic de-
composition of minerals Water is
extracted every day from minerals
in laboratories. and it is only ques-
tion of time, says Professor MCGEE,
when the water for cities will be ar
| officially made.
Though the globe is cooling, we
are learning how to economize solar
heat. We counterfeit the climate con
ditions of the tropics by growing
plants und IT cheese cloth, and by the
use of glass we multiply the effect of
the SUMS rays. Where now we have
hundreds of acres under glass in this
country we shall have many square
miles century hence. Thus does
human ingenuity bid defiance to the
cooling and drying processes that are
going on. Nevertheless, as Profes Sol
Holmes remarks, there is nothing
surer than that there will come al
end to the races that now are, tc
mankind ai whole, and to the worlt
he inhabits,' 1t is only question
of the manner in which this melan
choly result is destined to be accom-
plished. Saturday Evening Post.

day afternoon and almost instantly
killed. Mr. and Mrs Dixon, who
have moved within a week from the
Lewis Mayo place on the Laporte road
to the Henry Warren place in Browns
vile, we're driving down the hill

getting out of the wagon Mr.. Dixon,
who had child in his arms, was
thrown to the ground. The horse

GOVERNOR TALK.

The only real live Governor boom
thus far began in st. Johnsbury with
the announcement that the Hon.
Henry @. Ide would be approached .
by his friends but it also ended where
it began with the announcement that
Judge Ide would return TO the Philip
pines in August. But the Governor
question wont down in the scale city
and the Caledonian suggests that,
while a formidable candidate has been
removed. there are others, and it
mentions the names of ex-senator
Ross, Alexander Dunnett and Charles
j. Bell of Walden,
The Republican, however. seems
to have gotten closer to the Hon.
Alexander and says:
THE Squire however, is too old
a diplomat not to see through the
suggestion. He says he wouldn't
consider the matter for moment;
has no time to pull other peoples
chestnuts out of the fire and wouldn t
take the nomination if it was present
ed to him ON silver platter, signed
by every man, woman and child in
the State of Vermont, &"
The Caledonian includes in It's list
of possibilities the familiar names of
Robert J. Kimball of Randolph, Frank
Plumley of Northfeld, Horace W.
Bailey of Newbury, Curtis S. Emery
of Chelsea, j. L. Martin of Brattle
boro, W. E. johnson of Woodstock,
Zed Stanton of Roxbury and'', to
quote the Caledonian, last but not
least, J. A. DeBoer of Montpelier
whom that paper believes is the I'M
known character that the Brattleboro
Phoenix suggests
The Caledonian, however, scents
trouble in the mountain line" dis
cussion and adds While the list
of eligibles /; by no means exhausted
the Republican managers must re-
member that the mountain rule may
be broken just as ruthlessly as other
plans we're smashed last year by that
Rutland smasher, Percy W. Clement.
1t is only straw, but it is somewhat
significant, thai the Rutland Herald,
which is owned by Mr.. Clement, and
the st. Adams Messenger, which has
been extremely friendly to his candi-
dacy, are both suggesting that the
mountain rule is not as Interchangeable
a, the laws of the Modes and Persians,
and that next year is good time to
change it.

THE LOVE OF CHILDREN.

The floral Offering which the chill
dren of Mortified street laid at the
bier of their good knight, Thomas W.
Wood, yesterday, recalls similar in
cident when that children's hero and
poet, Eugene Field, fell asleep. Those
who gathered at the poets funeral
saw large white rose in one of his
hands and how it came there is told
in the following touching story;
On the preceding afternoon lady,
who was a friend of Fields, wenI to
a florists to order some flowers for
the grave. A poorly clad little girl
was looking wistfully in at the win
dow and followed the lady into the
store.
care those flowers for Mr.. Field
she asked. "Oh. l wish l could send
him just one. Won't you, please,
give me one fiower?"
The florist placed beautiful white
rose in her hand. Then she turned
and gave it to the lady with the re-
quest: "Please put it near Mr.. Field
with your flowers. " And the little
girls single rose-the gift of love
without money and without price
was given the place of honor that day
beyond the wealth Of flowers that
filled the house .and church with the
incense of affection for the dead.
Thus we're the artist, who painted
the children and gave them all the
apples from the trees at Athenwood,
and the poet, who sang their songs
with such bewildering beauty, alike
honored at the end.
