"Gold the Only God"

Patrick Henry Winston is an incisive
thinker. In the last issue of Winston's
Weekly, he compares the good old
times" with those of the present, and
makes the following diagnosis:
Future historians will find this the
most uninviting period of American his
tory. 1t can be summed up in a word
greed.
"The story of the colonial days is full
of romantic interest; the revolution
airy period is replete with heroic deeds;
the era following is rich with the genius
and learning of Americas greatest
minds the period of the war between
the states and that of reconstruction are
illuminated with all the glory that valor
and genius can bestow; but from the end
of Grants first term until now gen.
Grafton has passed in which nothing has
been done, or said, worth remembering.
1T has been the graveyard of glory
and the nursery of greed.
THE whole character of the nation
seems to have changed. We see nothing
and hear nothing but money. It's the
captain of industry or the labor lead
ers' or the trusts of the mergers,
morning, noon and night. Not word
about learning, or eloquence, or paint
ing or poetry, or music, or virtue, Oh
glory; nothing but money-money-
money.
Gold is the God of this generation
Trusts, mergers, corporations, labor
unions, plutocrats and paupers, they are
all alike.
"Such a condition breeds dishonesty
UNLESS there is a change there viii
soon be but two American industries
grand and petty larceny. If every dis
honest dollar in this country could talk
the noise would shake down all tn,
buildings from Plymouth rock to Puger
sound"

cherished tenets of physics. How does
the bit of Radium obtain its great source
OF energy; source which appears to be
unlimiteds 1t is computed that it can
continue to give out energy unimpaired
for millions of years. We have been led
to believe that we cannot obtain heat
without the consumption of fuel or the
expenditure of work. Tyndalls work
entitled, Heat Mode OF Motion, marked
an epoch in philosophic thought; and we
have all been sucked to this creed. Will
it prove Pagan creed!
In Radium we apparently have boiler
or dynamo which gives out energy
without the expenditure of fuel. This
is indeed marvellous revelation, and
does not seem to be connected with what
may be called the Old Testament of ply
sizes; there are no hints or physical
prophesies which might have led us to
hope for this new light.-Prof. John
Trowbridge, in the December Atlantic

Rev. H. M. Bartlett is very much graf

vdre secretary:

that structure should be built in antio'
ipation of the future growth of the city

and then fix your turkey hen SO she can
get down to business. This is done by
soaking lot of corn in whiskey or bran
dy and feeding it to the turkey hen. She
will eat until she can eat no more-eat
until she is as full as boiled owl-and
if you will place her on the nest while
in this drunken condition, she will stay
there for eight or ten days, at the end
of which time she will come off, and all
you have to do is to repeat the whisky
soaked corn feed. and she viii then be
ready to resume business, and before
she sobers up from the second meal Of
