the soul finds it's true liberty, It's free

human experience testify and answer
how it is that Jesus Christ has seemed
to raise up the soul that is cast down
to it's freest fellowship in God.
That is true human freedom, and

Horse Counts by Watching Eyes.

DR.. Carl Stunpf, professor Of psy.
chology at the University of Berlin
and a member of the Royal Academy
Of Science, and two colleagues, DR.. c..
Won Hcrnbostel and DR.. O. Pfungst,
have ended months of experiments
with Won Osten's horse Hans.
They find that the secret of the an
imal's replies is in its powers of OBJ
servaticn, which enable it to perceive
while it looks at its questioner the
instant it has reached correct an
swer. Thus they found the horse was
unable to tap out a correct answer to
a question when the person putting it
did not know the answer, tor exam
pie: "How many persons are in the
group behind me?''
The Questioner not looking himself
did not know the number and Hans
was unable to give a correct reply.
nor was he able, when wearing blind
ers, to calculate or perform the sizn-
plest counting. Stumpf does not doubt
the good faith of Won Osten and his
assistants.

Bears Fruit

It is when our faith in God the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost is quietly
expressed In daily action that it can
and does bear fruit in and tell upon the
faith and life of other men. The man
who should definitely regulate his re-
ligious life and devotion with the
thought mainly before him of how he
will thus by example be influencing
other people is, I think, approaching
the whole question from wrong side,
and is in grave danger of doing positive
harm first to himself and then to 9th
ers. But it remains true that in this,
as in other matters, "No man liveth to
himself" and that the attitude he Wis
IDLY and habitua1ly takes in religious
matters must, whether he wishes it or
not, tell, for good or ill, upon Those
about him. How infinitely that en-
hances the Importance of what every
one of us believes and does!LAreh-
bishop of Canterbury.

Thwarted Plans.

It is an evil thing and bitter to be
unhindered in ones life by God. It is
no gift of freedom promised, but a
curse bestowed when it is said of
Ephraim, LET him alone" It is the
final word of doom when the Lord
says, Il let them go after the Stubborn
ness of their heart, that they might
walk in their own counsels." When
the prayer was offered. Suffer US to
go into the herd of swine," we may be
sure the request was granted solely
because offered by demons.
Ours be the joy that our wishes are
opposed. It is proof we are sons Of
God. Let us rejoice we are not visited
with the contempt of divine indiffer-
ence. Let us write it on our hearts
this Cay as one of the gladdest prom
ises of Gods Word. 81 will hedge up
thy way with thorns. Pacific Bap-

Horse Has Charmed Life.

Ezra Schuyler, a cart driver, mar
rowly escaped serious injury at the
Califon Limestone company's quarries
ct Vernoy. He sat on the cart load
ed with broken stone when the horse
backed the vehicle and contents off
the dumping platform. The outfit
landed on a fiat car nearly 100 feet
below. Schuyler jumped as the cart
left the platform and escaped injury
The animal became entangled in the
harness and was released after much
difficulty. It escaped with slight in.
iuries. The cart was wrecked. About
one year ago the same animal fell
from the pltform and Was taken out
unhurt.

The Apparent Df1icu1ties.

The things that seem to be difficulties
