There is twofold benefit to be derived
from living with nature; 1t augments and

being may accept his little circle of ex-
perience and stare around and around a
little nest Of limited interests, but this Is
a deadening process that kills the sense Of
wonder and worship, augments our too
natural inertia. and ends In narrowing US
down to a smaller point than the lusty bios
soming of youth predicted. This Is failure
IN life. to let old age have power to shrink

The above statement was made

securing of business.
The Greater Washington Special
will leave the city from the 9th
street station over the tracks of the
Southern railroad at 7 o'clock to-
morrow morning. Since Sunday
the express cars that will constitute
the exposition feature have been
stationed on siding at 18th and
Maryland avenue southwest. Most
OF the exhibits have already been
put Ill place, and all the work will
have been completed by this even
ing. The train will pull into the
9th street station at $50 a. m. to-
morrow morning, and will pull out,
southbound, at 7 o'clock sharp.
Breakfast will be served on the
train.
There is no doubt that the bust
ness community of Greater Wash
ington-and this means not only
those houses represented by ex-
hibits and travelling agents on The
Stars Special, but every merchant
interested in the present campaign
for commercial supremacy-is in
terested in the southern trip and is
looking for splendid results to fol-
low.
Gen. John M. Wilson, u. S. A.,
retired, President of the Washing
ton Board of Trade. is most enthu-
siastic concerning the southern
tour.
81 think" said General Wilson
to a Star reporter today, that not
only is the idea of the Greater
Washington Exposition Special an
admirable one, but that undoubt-
eddy it will be carried out in the
manner characteristic of the great
work The Star has done for the
District Of Columbia in years past.
l believe the tour of the special will
prove OF the greatest possible adj
vantage to the business men of the
city generally, and that it will do a
great deal toward bringing Greater
Washington up to the commercial
standard which every one inter-
ested is anxious to see reached"
General Wilson's remarks NAV
be said to represent the sentiment
of practically all Of the business
men who have given expression to
their views concerning this epoch
making trip, undertaken to adver-
tise city.
A great many of these gentle
| men have expressed their entire
sympathy with the move, and their
belief that its mission-the presen-
tation to the southern people and to
the southern trade of the news of
the commercial awakening of
Washington-will be successfully
accomplished.
But if the creation of a Greater
| Washington is to be assured. the
work must be undertaken by
! united, interested and disinterested
| effort. 1t is great big task-this
Greater Washington project-and
| the help of many hands is needed.
And in this connection it must not
be forgotten that every reader of
The Star can do part, and not an
insignificant part, of the work by
cutting out this Greater Washing
ton page and mailing it to some
friend or business acquaintance in
those sections of Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland and North
Carolina to be visited by the train.
That is, it should preferably be
sent to this section. But if there
happens to be reader of The Star
who has no acquaintance in that
| region, let the Greater Washington

There have been several during the past
few years where workmen have been threatened
with the loss of accident compensation allowances
unless they would submit themselves to the

been prosecuted by the Society for the Proven

ascribed the improvement partly to the use of

: It is, perhaps, not surprising, that the society
called doctor, who said the ointment was use

There is too great tendency nowadays TO
claim infallibility for the knife and some regard
must be had to the wishes of parent, where,
as in the present case, it is shown that she had
taken good care of her child, and that her re-
fusal to allow an operation is not based merely
on caprice or obstinacy. We may add that in
the compensation cases above referred to the

In saving this / am aware that the
defenders OF the older conceptions of re-

For this reason / wish to place the god
of the old order in contrast with the god
of the new order. The Jealous defenders
OF things accepted and established in re-
ligiOn seldom realize TO what extent they
are making their god out to be a god
of mistakes and failures, The major part
of theology is an explaining of the fail

Mr.. Eddy said that this apparent rec

the first Adam TO the hast was due TO
the point or view assumed by men prior
TO the dawn OF evolutionary thinking. 1t
seemed necessary 10 explain world and
humanity that was flushed and complete
ana by no means perfect in the finished
state, In the thought of evolution on the
contrary man feels himself q conscious
participant IN an unfolding plan. 1t

something gained only in the living it, our

oY the time We have adjusted ourselves
TO this wonderfully enlarged and con-
stahtly changing universe we discover
that we have lost our thought of God in
the old limited personal sense. The God
or failures and mistakes is lost but the
idea of eternal energy working the far
reaching processes of evolution replaces
II in our minds and behind it hFoods the
eternal mind, the primal source of all.
In conclusion Mr., Eddy said:
such IS the philosophy of evolution 1t
sees the incompletiops of God but chron-
lcles no failures. We feel ourselves par

which We are given the noblest part of
