The fall enrolment IN the schools OF
Idaho Springs during the last five years
has been as follows: 1899, 554; 1900, 524;
1901, 63o; 1901, 62S; 1908, 635. The
High school enrolment has been as fol-
lows: 1900, IS; 1901, s.; 1902, So; 1908,
6s. The increase for the present term is
most satisfactory to the board and in
structors, and it is to be hoped that the
daily average will keep close up to the
figures.

Love Meaningless in Isolation.

The greatest thing in every possible
world is love. By that one word we hnd
a symbol to express the character OF God,
the mission Of our Lord Jesus and the ideal
of our own human lives. 1t is a social
word, meaningless iii isolation, expanding
in it's powers as our relations to other
beings expand As the sunlight irradiates
the sky giving even to the shadowlng
clouds their white, so behind all the trou-
bies of our lives shines the Illuminating
love of God.
Gods love, says the Congregationalist. is
manifested in the life and mission Of His
Son. The name God gave to Moses in the
bush was a name that signiied existence:
suggesting the reality and power behind
things seen. It is after Jesus had declared
His Fathers character III the familiar
terms OF social human existence thaa
John tells us that God is love. Only sucu
a loving Father could have so pertectI and
divine, so seIf-devoting and helpful SON.
Nowhere, in the whole range OF world re-
iigions, is there anything to compare with
the revelation OF the love Of God III
Christ
Nor did that revelation cease when
Jesus left His own disciples to the Holy
Spirits teaching. The church Of Christ is
the worlds Messiah-the true witness 70
the love of God in Christ. Every child
Of God is witness to his Father. We are
| here not only to receive. but also to 1e-
feet and radiate love. II it is the greatest
thing in our own conscious world, it viii
be manifest to others. God will not lack
| true witnesses and the world will not &c
| left iii darkness.
Gods love is not proved by argume~ t.
You cannot reason a man into the conv, g
ton that he is an object Of affection. It
must be shown as Jesus showed it, in com
mon human intercourse. Paul has drawn
its working picture for us. II suffers long
and is kind, it envies not, seeks not its
! own. We have but to translate in daily
| life these qualities in the first person
singular OF the active voice, and we shall
become lights in the world through whom
| the love radiance of perfect love viii shine
"Herein was the love Of God manifested in
us, that God hath sent His only begotten
| Son into the world, that we might might
| live th:o.Igh Him. !. Beloved, II God
so loved us, we also ought to love one an
| other"

Fatal Temnernture.

1t what point does life begin? So
far as regards space OF time. the ques-
ton is unanswerahle. Only few
years ago it would have been said that
in regard to that seemingly essential
condition of life temperature we did
not know pretty nearly superior
and inferior limit Little Of life is
there below the freezing point or above
the boiling point Of water, and far
above or below these critical points we
should expect even germ life to be
destroyed. When our greatest physi-
cist in 1871 suggested that seeds Of
plants might have been born to this
world in a far distant age, the by
pothesis seemed incredible, because
the temperature Of space, being at
least as low as minus 40 degrees Cent?
grade would be fatal to life in any
form. This is not so. Recently at the
,yenner Institute bacteria have been
frozen in liquid air, and even in liquid
hydrogen, and on the application OF
heat, and placed in proper media have
terminated. The process Of life was
arrested, but the nascent life energy
was not destroyed at 200 degrees Cen
tigrade, say. 800 degrees Fahrenheit
Of frost. Experiments are now being
made to find whether long continuance
| for. months or years in such cold takes
away the vitalisin of those lowest
forms OF 1ife.-London Telegraph.

The Foe to Fear.

DIR. Theodore T. Cuy,er, in estimating
what he deems to be our worst enemy in
this life, says: Dangerous as the devil is,
dangerous as worldly anlusements are, the
most dangerous enemy that We often have
TO encounter walks in our own shoes. That
cunning, artful smooth tongued heart
devil, self, is the foe that needs the most
constant watching and subjects US to the
worst defeats. The flesh iusteth against
the Spirit, and the Spirit against the fiesn,
and these are contrary the one TO the
other Paul had tremendous battle
along these lines, beating down his carnai
nature by hard blows. and the Cd hero
was able at the last TO snort: have
fought good fight; henceforth there j.

Whoever has. by Gods help. laid his de-

How He Saved Himself.

A distinguished French novelist.
whose works are extremely popular
with the fair sex, recently found him
self travelling in a railway caTsiage
with two very tal&ative women. Ha7-
ing recognized him from his published
portraits, they both opened fire upon
him in regard to his novels. which they
praised in a manner that was unen-
durable to the sensitive author. For
tunately the train entered a tunnel,
and in the darkness the novelist. who
understood woTner. lifted the back OF
his hand TO his lips and kissed it sound
ingly. When light returned he found
the two women regarding one another
in icy silence, and, addressing him
with great suavity, he said: All
mesdames, the regret OF my life will
herea fter be that shall never know
which one Of you it was that kissed
me-"

know men today who Were once used of
God in preaching, blessed Of Him in soul
winning, but who are set aside to-day;
in other words they have become easta-

angels and to men. Mr. Meyer, in describ-s
ing these, tells us 0f his photographic pen.
1t was one of some value. and had been
given to him for his private use. For
long time he carried it with him every
where, and used it on all occasions: And
then d more improved pattern came out
and he used the new one instead OF the
old; the old one was still his, but was dis
approved and set aside. Mr.. Meyer says
he can ina gine how the pen would say, as
| it thought Of the past:
There was once a time when he used
! me always-and now, never. There was q
| time when I knew his thoughts befors

| There was time when I was his closest
companion, and now l am never used. =
Alas, many a man who has preached the
gospel with power, in days gone, by, whom

same thing. This book is sent forth as a
warning. that ali such might turn squarely
