HOW TO THINK OF HEAVEN
REV. ALEX. HENRY.

Is heaven a place or is it a state, a
condition? How shall we think of the
Fathers house of many mansions?
when I was a child / thought
as child: but when I became a man
1 put away childish things" The
apostle Paul would not argue that we
should put away all childish things.
For there are many things belonging
to childhoods estate that ought to be
enduring. These things are referred
to by Jesus when He says, "Of such is
the kingdom of heaven" But many
of our childish ways of thinking we
find it necessary to put away.
To the inquiry, rs heaven a place
or a state" our childish thought at
first gave only a partial answer. 1t
is place. Then, where is the place?
Somewhere, but it must be far away
from earth, and fancy builds the glo-
rious mansions in some far off planet.
By and by we awaken to the fact that
the most important part of the in
quiry has not yet been touched. But
let not iconoclastic hands ruthlessly
break down and sweep away the build
ings of a childish fancy. So far, so
good. Yes, heaven is a place. 1t is

far away, and yet 50 near. It's local.
ity is determined by its quality.
Heaven is anywhere, everywhere,
where heavenly conditions prevail.
Now we begin to see that the fact
that heaven is a place is swallowed
up by the more important fact that it
is a state or condition.
Instead of thinking of heaven as a
place to go to when we die, we think
of it now as state, a condition of mind
and heart, of thoughts and affections
that are to be cherished, cultivated.
perfected while we live, those graces
and virtues summed up in the express
sive phrase love to God and love to
man." This spirit, inspiring human
minds and hearts, is causing this world
to be changed and beautified, it's will
derness and solitary places to be made
glad and it's deserts to rejoice and
blossom as the rose.
When it comes to locating heaven
every man ought to find it in the glo-
rious possibilities of developing his
own Godgiven spiritual, intellectual
and physical powers along those lines
of unselfish endeavor that make for the
improvement of his earthly home.
While the narrow confines of self OF
family, of surrounding neighborhood. OF
city,. of residence are not to limit the
sphere of ones activities, yet at home
is to begin the search for acres of
diamonds" for heavenly happiness.

THE LITERARY OUTLOOK
Remarkable Short Story Writing Record Western View
ofWestern Fction-The Pull in Authorship
Activity Of the Publishers.
By HERBERT BREWSTER.

William Hamilton Osborne, a young
lawyer of New York city, is a writer
of short stories who is just now COM
ing into prominence He has sold, it
is said, over seventy stories to various
publications during the past six
months, and, judging from the num-
Der of magazines and syndicates which
are grinding out his stories in current
numbers and from the announcements
of more stories forthcoming from the
same author one can we'll believe that
the extraordinary report is true. At
the same time one must not believe
that the extraordinary report is true.
At the same time one must not be-
lieve that Mr.. Osborne has written
these seVenty-odd stories during the
same period of time. Doubtless they
represent work extending over much
more time, perhaps a year and a half.
Even this would place him among the
record-breakers as a rapid worker.
Fifty stories in year by a man who
is supposed to be practicing the pro-
fession of law in large city is, in
deed, a remarkable record. There is
just one danger in this writer's case;
he is likely to write himself out. 1t
is possible that he will drain his source
of plots or will let the quality of his
work deteriorate, if he maintains such
terrible speed. 1t is to be hoped that
he will continue to write, but not so
many as fifty a year.
Seumas MacManus, when he was in
this country, year or so ago. used to
say that he could write a story a
day, but he admitted that he did not
care to try to write a story every day
At the same time Mr.. MacManus did
write very rapidly and he succeeded

Broughton. the ministers who objected
to the Unitarian and the Universalist
ministers taking part in the general
non-denominational revivals in At
lanta, have concluded their services.
The non-denominational services have
rot begun, but the Savannahian
thinks it very improbable that either
of the Objectionable ministers will take
part in them.
The matter of the disagreement be-
tween Rev. Mr.. Holtzclaw and large
part of his congregation will be

over to the manuscript department to
take its regular course with other con-
tributions.
There is activity in all publishing
circles just now. During the present
week, there will appear scores of new
bOOks-most of them novels. The pub
fishers have found quicker means of
getting ont their products and as a
result, the fall and winter work of the
authors can be brought out in the
spring seasons. There are exceptions
only in the cases of such novels as are
held first for specialization. The present
season is larger at this time than any
previous season has been so early in
the year. Indeed the periods of rest
for the publishing world are becoming
shorter year by year. A few of the for
tunate publishers have been able to
go abroad for few weeks this win
ter. but for most of them, the work
has become as continuous a grind, as
that of their clerks.
Mr.. w. PETIT Ridge is a story teller
or an enviable reputation. Only a few
days ago, in a lecture on Dialogue and
repartee he related the following:
"A woman who had been selling fish
entered an omnibus, with her basket
on her arm-empty, it is true, but with
an unmistakable odor clinging to it.
She sat down besides a young man
Who drew his coat tails away and
plainly showed his disgust 81 s'pose,"
said the woman, presently, that you'd
rather there was a gentleman setting
besides your Yes, 1 would" was the
prompt reply. A pause, then-"So
would T."
"A plain statement of the truth"
said the author is his lecture, sis
sometimes more effective than any in
tended repartee." He proved it by tell
Ing about a small girl in Clerkenwell
who was sent out with a still smaller
child, THE youngest baby in the fam
ily." Drawn from her charge, however,
by the attractions of hop-scotch, she
placed the little one on the curb and
Joined in the game. The baby crawled
into the road and consequently the
traffic was congested. 1t was rescued
by policeman, who, taking it to the
little girl Indignantly asked, rs this
your baby" mo, sir" she said, It's
lnother's!" Mr.. PETIT Ridge told an
other story of a woman. who was la
menting the death of her husband in
these words: mo, 1 can't forget i'm.
He was a good husband. Somehow
can't get i'm out of me ead-and he's
been dead a week."
