DEVELOPMENT OF ODDLY QUAIL


Russia's army in the retreat north
ward from Mukden is suffering hard
ships that are strikingly like those I'M
dergone by Napoleon Bonaparte's sol
diers in that terrible march from
MOSCOW in the fall and winter of the
year 1912. The main facts of the
French retreat from the ruins of the
great Russian city are as follows: Ma
Doleon had entered Russia June "A.
He found the country through which
his route lay devastated and aban-
doned as he advanced, with no enemy
to make a stand against him. He had
to leave large bodies of troops along
his line of march and to detach forces
to threaten St. Petersburg and other
cities. At the battle of Borodino, Sep
TENDER z, one of the bloodiest in his
tory the losses probably aggregated
5000 on each side. The loss to Ma
poleon, who could get no reinforce
ments, was fatal.

the terrible confiagration which broke

The remainder of the retreat Of Ma
poleon's army has no parallel in his
tory for the various sufferings and
horrors undergone. In November, by
the time he had reached the Berezina,
his army had dwindled to 1900 men.
In. the retreat from Moscow alone co.
600 had been lost. In the whole cam

that 1875. 900 had been slain, 10000

the Bible never more fntelligently be-
lieved, religion never more powerful in
its grip on human life. Fewer Whines
and more instruction is the better way.
Waste less time in examining the Gre
dentials of Bible prophets. More of
the spirit Of Isaiah in the pulpit and
less worry about Isaiah of old is our
need.-Rev. John Thompson, Methodist,
Chicago.
DEVELOPMENT OF ODDLY QUAIL
TIES.
Divine qualities are developed to ath-
letic vigor in human character by
habitual exercises Of duty and devotion
or by honestly following that which is
seen to be good. AS the man increas-
ingly realizes his relations to nature
and humanity he discovers that his op-
portunities, exposures and experiences
may all be utilized for worthy ends in
his own life and the life of others. It be-
comes easier to believe that his earthly
lot is appointed by a wise goodness
which he is born to share. He grows
toward the perfection of the Father just
so fast and so far as he is faithful as
a son to the law disclosed to his mind
or written in his heart.-Rev. DR.. Chas.
G. Ames, Unitarian. Boston.

They do say that a certain young wo-
man very well liked in Topeka society
recently sat her down and wrote 200
notes to friends announcing her en-
gagement to a man she has kept dang
ling for about two years-and then
changed her mind over night. But the
notes were not wasted. As she was on
her way to the fireplace in the break
Ia6I room to cOnSign them to flames and
oblivion her eye caught the society
news in the morning paper and she
hesltated-and was lost, in accordance
with tradition for there was her en-

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned From the Teachings of
All Denominations.

The only life that amounts to much
is the life with a purpose, and a noble
purpose always takes God and destiny
into the account-Rev. DR.. Charles L.
Goodell, Methodist. New York.
INFLUENCE OF TRUTH
Truth does not enslave; it ltberates.
Not only are there needed moral
character and a spiritual insight to
know the truth, but the truth grad
ualIy understood reacts upon charaC-
ter and conduct. The two are mutually
helpful.-Rev. c. D. Case, Baptist,
Brooklyn.
SPIRIT.
Christ's spirit is in the heroic men
and women whom the church has
called to her service, who have gladly
obeyed that call though it meant the
going to distant lands and the sacrl-
fee of all pleasure and comfort, even
of life itself. The spirit of Christ is in
the people who come cheerfully and
gladly to church even in the remOCesl
regions and are forever working 10
elevate themselves to the higher life.
Rev. Michael Reilly, Roman Cath

What the magazine is to the soldier

Christian. When his ammunition Is

Rev. Jacob Mills, Methodist, Helena
Mont.
TEST IN LIES UNCERTAINTY
1t is Iife's uncertainty that gives il
zest. No man can put his heart into
the work of today if he knows OF
thinks he knows what life is to be
tomorrow. I care not whether the fu-
ture promises good or ILL., life is not
worth the living if we know just what
awaits US. Moment by moment, hour

Neighboring South American repub-

Intervention without resentment
Castro's attitude is reflected in a
pamphlet just issued through one of
his advisors in which plans for send

The pamphlet urges the public to
