"Let US work this out.

feet in height. His chest measures
thirty-fve feet. Jupiter, you see,

earth.
The sun is 100 times the size OF
the earth. A sun man, then, would
be 600 feet high" He'would weigh
1850 pounds. His chest measure
would be $50 feet. His front teeth
would be four feet long.
"Sirius is the largest Of the fixed
stars. Sirius 10 the great central
sun. 1t is 1900 times larger than
the earth. Thus a Sirian would
be mile aud a half high. He
would weigh 100000 pounds. His

His nostrils would each be 80 feet

THY Will. BE DONE.

Not in dumb resignation
We lift our hands on high;
Not like the norvcles.i ~fltalist
Content to trust and die,
Our faith springs like the eagle
a scars To meet the sun,
And cries cxultilg unto thee:
20 Lord! Thy will be done!"
When tyront feet are trampling
Upon the common veal
Th"u dost not bid us cringc and writhe
Beneath the iron heel;
In Thy name We assert our rights
with sword and tongue and pen,
Ana cen the headsman's AK may fash
Thy message unto men.
Thy will! 1t bids the weak be strong.
1t bids the strong he just;
Ma lip to fawn. no hand to beg.
No brow to seek the dust,
Wherever mar Expresses man.
Beneath thy liberal sun,
o God! be there, Thine arm made bare,
Thy righteous will be done.
