Preparing for Our Heavenly Home
Phil. 8: 20, 21; Heb. II:

Preparing for Our Heavenly Home.
Phil. 8: 20, 21; Heb. II:
$40, 1916.
The best way to prepare for heaven
Is to be in Heaven, to walk, and talk,
and act in heaven now.
If we would have bodies fashioned
after the divine body, we must not
allow the bodies to do anything that
is not divine.
One Of the chief joys Of the heaven.
" city is that it has foundations
everything in it is founded, is per-
manent.
II you want the best description OF
heaven that has been revealed to
men. think of the best country on
earth, and say Of heaven, 1T is bet
ter STILL"
Suggestions.
There is no better way to prepare
for your heavenly home than to
make your earthly home heavenly
place.
Christ has prepared our heavenly
home: we need only prepare for it.
The preparation needed for heaven
is the preparation of desire-to want
the things that God wants, for those
things are what we shall have there.
There would be no use sending the
unheavenly to heaven, for it would
be unheavenly to them.
Illustrations.
II you were going to France to
live forever, would you not learn the
French language? Then learn the
language of heaven.
When one moves into new home,
there is always the work Of discard
ing old possessions. Why not begin
at once to throw away the things we
cannot take to heaven?
When we move into a new house,
what a fitting over Of old carpets
there is, But in heaven everything
is new.
If you are removing to a new
place, how much more joyous 1t is II
YOU have friends there! Make friends
on earth of the heavenly-minded peo-
pie.
Quotations.
Some men talk about entering into
rest, but what are they going to
rest from?-A. ]. Gordon.
One should go to sleep at night as
homesick passengers do, saying,
perhaps in the morning we shall see
the shore. Bee cher.
Heavens gates are not so highly
arched as princes palaces; they that
enter there must go upon their knees.
Webster.
He who seldom thinks Of heaven Is
not likely to get thither; as the only
way to hit the mark Is to keep the
eye fixed upon it.-Bishop Horne.
Every Endeavorer must have his
own conscience In prayerful exercise,
but the lookout committee is to help
him keep his conscience in working
order.
Whatever form OF pledge your So
ciety adopts, the committee should
see to it that no one joins the So
cfety without an earnest determina-
tion to live up to the pledge in letter
and in spirit.

Do a Snake Eat Grass?

Iwant you to submit question and
settle controversy for me. Is a snake
a vegetarian? Does he eat fruits,
herbs, roots and the like? Some say
that he eats nothing but birds, insects
and so forth.
The Observer takes great pleasure
In putting the question, and here is
hoping that some one who knows will
ansyer promptly.
The question in plain old North Caro'
lima English is: "Do a snake eat
grass"-Charlotte Observer. =

Elephant Fights With Its Ears

A new form of injury was treated
In New York the other night. A youth
had attempted to ride the buckins
elephant at the new hippodrome, and
the beast, enraged because she could
not shake him off, tapped at and
struck him with her ears. An ele-
plants ear Is said to be "some hard"
At all events the boy had cut head
and one Of his ears was all but of as
proof Of what the elephant could 40
complish with her ears.

MISSING
MOTORMAN
IS BLAMED

New York. Sept. 23--In the report filed
today OF its investigation into the recent
accident on the elevated railroad at Ninth
avenue and Fifty-third street the board
Of railroad commissioners holds Paul
Kelly, the missing motorman, chiefly 10
blame. but says that Towerman Cornelius
A. Jackson also contributed TO the acct
dent in which 10 persons were killed and
1l6 more or less injured.
The report recommends that a double
blade semaphore signal be Installed at
once at or near the curve. one OF the
blades to govern the operation Of Ninth
avenue trains. the other the operation Of
Sixth avenue trains
1t also orders that "sow" sign 'be
placed before the switch and that all
south bound trains on the local track
come 70 a full stop before reaching the
semaphore Z This rule should be rigidly
enforced. 1T says.
Regarding the facts disclosed by the in
vestigation the report says that these
showed that the track frogs and switches
at the Fifty third street junction were
IN good condition and that the elevation
OF the outside rail of the curve from
which the car plunged was all that could
be given under the conditions Of grade
crossing.
East of the Ninth avenue tracks the
course has sufficient elevation for proper
rates OF speed. The curve was also prop
erly equipped with guard rail and guard
timber.

HOSPITAL
TOO COSTLY

Treasury Shaw is extremely dissatisfied
with the conduct OF affairs in the marine
hospital service and he has directed that
the investigation now going on Go made
as thorough as possible.
He is especially impressed with the

travagant and he is not pleased with the

illustrated a few days ago when IL was

sition had succeeded I'm embezzling $4,000.

few more sick sailors than It was few
years ago. the expenses on this account

The rates obtained for the care and
burial OF dead seamen in various parts OF
the country vary greatly, the burial "
some towns being as low as 81 ana IN
others not far away as high as $40.
Secretary Shaw believes that tho service

TROUBLE FOR SUPT. EVANS.
New facts regarding the work OF the
committee on city property OF the city
council which seems TO control this In
the office Of the superintendent OF public
buildings and many people think that TO
get the real cause for the protest Of
Mr. Shirley regarding contracts one
should go beyond Mr.. Evans.
The letter OF the firm about the gas
fixture for the new school house fol-
lows:
I'VE, the undersigned citizens and tax
payers of the city OF Providence. wish to
show the unfair methods used by Super
intendent OF Public Buildings. in award
ed the contracts for lighting the new
school houses.
Having made application for permis-
sion 10 bid on this work and been told
by Mr.. Evans that we were well known
and would he given an opportunity. now
learn from him that his time is Ito valu-
able" and he did not want TO be bothered
10 be looking for prices. and he there
fore gave the contracts without competi-
tion on the best terms he could.
Having knowledge OF the tricky meth
ods on some previous contracts, we think
II only fair that this matter should be
investigated and reconsidered, so that all
may have an equal opportunity.
I'VE can show that on a large contract
for school lighting, the bids for which
were based on sample fixtures, that goods
were accepted Of little more than one
half the value OF the submitted samples
This statement can be easily verified by
comparison Of the goods with the original
sample. which is still intact
