WHAT SHALL WE READ?

Paul once stirred up Ephesus, with
some lively sermons about the sins of
that place. Among the most impor-
tant results of these sermons was the
fact that the citizens brought out
their bad books and papers and in a
public place made bonfire Of them.
One of the wants of this community is
a great bonfire Of bad books and news
papers. We have in this vicinity
enough of such fuel to make a blaze
500 feet high. Take forth this trash
and put it into the fire, and let it be
known in the presence of God and
angels and men that you are
going to rid your homes of this curse
of profigate literature. We believe
that it is intended that the printing
press shall be a means for the world g
rescue and evangelization. The great
last battle of the world will not be
fought with swords and guns, but
with types and presses, purified
literature triumphing over and crush
ing out forever that which is depra-
we'd. The greatest blessing that ever
came into this nation is that Of an
elevated literature, and the greatest
scourge has been that of nnclean
literature. This last has it's victims
in all departments of life. It has
helped to fill insane asylums and pen
itentiaries. The London plague was

nourishment absorbed from our past

meath our feet is composed of clay and
sand and SCOT and water and if ma

and placed in the kings palace; then
again it may become clear and hard
and white and have the power of
drawing to itself the blue and the red,

sunlight, and become and opal. The
sand will become very hard and white,
and have the powers of drawing to
itself the blue rays of the sunlight
and become sapphire. The SCOT
will become the hardest and whitest
substance known, and be changed
into diamond. The water in the
summer is dewdrop, and in the win

exact number of vessels in his fleet is
not clear. but he had his main fightiig

and transports. The disposition of the
Japanese feat appears to have been an
ideal one.
Admiral Togo had waited for weeks
in the vicinity of the Tsu islands. refus-
ing to be lured away and to forfeit his
advantage. The inner line was held BY
Admiral Togo with the battleships and
Vice Admiral Kamimura with the
cruisers. Rear Admiral Katacka. with
the light squadron first attacked RO-
icstvensky. The order and circum-
stances Of the attack are not clear.
According TO one report Kamimura
went outside the straits and foiled Re-

that the government is now in possession
OF its own version of the naval disaster
of Saturday and Sunday in the straits OF

at Tsarskoe-SelO, last night, at which the
Emperor WAS urged to issue an imperial

cidcd.
So far as the newspapers are concerned,
the public might believe Vice Admiral Ro-
iestvensky had achieved IA victory. The
censor passed all the vague rumors fa-
cilled everything indicating Russian dis
aster. While the disastrous news was
spread like wild fire by word of mouth
