THE CURSE OF THE TIMES.

Overweening desire for blgness is

THE REALITY OF GOD.

BY Rev W. Hanson PuISh0rd.
The theological entity we often refer
to as God lacks reality. The old use
less arguments for his existence bring
that home. He is as impractical as he
in intellectually unsa ,isfactory. The
complaint that he does nothing" is
well founded. But whe1 we forsake
theological speculation ana come down
to the concrete world we live in we are
face to face with definite ia IT'S. Moth
ing is so real as the infinite energy
the myriad forms of which constitute
the actual world Of our experience. 1t
is obvious that on our relation to it in
our environment and latent In our
selves everything that gives value to
life depends. THAT reality is the real
tty of God
Moreover, we are coming to know
good deal about 1t. 1t is memorable or
der. There is no room for changing
purpose or caprice there. Play your
game as you will, but the universe
yields you neither pity nor blame
when you face the exact results of
your play. There is no need of far
off heaven or hell to enforce its law
The hell or the heaven Of what you
have chosen to make of life is enough
And there is no chance about it, The
absolute inevitable accuracy according
TO which seed bears fruit after its kind
Is Characteristic of the real God of ex-
pefience.
We find, too, that the process of the
whole whether it expresses itself in
crystal or flower or in human life, is
one which makes for stronger and
more fully developed forms. The life
which allies itself with it survives, the
stars in their courses fight for it. The
life which does not fails. The real
God about and within us increasingly
in every lesson of human experience is
making for more perfect life.
Now we ourselves are the offsprings
of this eternal energy. The great life
is not only everywhere about us. but
within us too. Turn our faces from
the little half-savage life of the fears
and desires which enslave US to the
larger strength and mastery which are
latent in us, and there at once works
with us and behind US the swing of
the centuries and of the stars. God is
no unreality, but the life energy we
find everywhere around and within US.
TO claim it as our own is religion.

iii TRADE WINDS.
How They Originate and the Reason
of Their ConstnncN.


The consistency of trade winds is due
to the pcruanence Of the conditions
which rule them. AS the heated air at
the equator ascends, surface winds set
in from north and south aud, uniting,
ascend in their turn and flow off in 0p-
posite directions.
As the velocity OF the earth,s reyolu-
tiolS from east to west is much greater
at tho equator than at TIE poles wind
blowing along its surface to the equa-
tor is constantly lriving at places
which have a higher velocity than il
self; hence il is retarded and must lag
behind and under the influence of two
opposing forces it is compelled to take
an intermediate direction, SO that what
was originally north wind is defect
ed ard flows southwest, while what
started as south wind becomes north
west.
From the great service they have
rendered to navigation these reliable
winds are called trade winds. 1t is in
wide ocean, such as the Pacific, that
they have their full scope,

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

A pretty good way to marry an heir
ess is to admire the way she plays
bridge whist.
The man who wouldn't lie to his
wife about her beauty deserves to be
married to a Chinese idol.
If a girls arm is thin she hates to
have you take hold of it for fear OF
what you will suspect about some
thing else.
From the way a woman gets on a
street car you cant tell whether she
imagines she is climbing a stepladder
or trying to peep up to the top shelf
of the closet.
A woman is never too Old To think
some people don't suspect it,
When a woman doesn't nag her hus-
band it is a sign she hasn't married
him yet.
All that anybody needs to break
into society is a good drill with a dia-
mond point.
Generally mans savings bank ac-
count stands in the name of his wife's
dfesSmaker.
It's as natural for Girl to have
heanX as it is for a boy to want to
read dime novels
What a woman likes about frequent
changes in fashions is that she has to
get new clothes every time.
Give a woman fine feathers 10 wear
in this world and she'll trust 10 luck
for the wings to wear in the next.
It's absolute proof 10 a woman that
she is a good mother 10 her children
when their uncles and aunts tell her
she is spelling them.-New York
