WHIT SHALL WE READ?

PAUL once stirred up Ephesus
with some lively sermons about the
sins of that place. Among the most
important results of these sermons
was the fact that the citizens brought
out their bad books and papers and
in public place made a bonfire of
them. One of the wants of this com
manity is great bonfire of bad
books and newspapers. 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 aud angels and men
that you are going to rid your homes
of this curse of proaigate literature.
We believe it is intended that the
printing press shall be means for
| the worlds rescue and evangelical
ton. The great last battle of the
world will not he fought with swords
and guns, but with types and press
er, a purified literature triumphing
over and crushing out forever that
which is depraved
The greatest blessing that ever
came to this nation is that of an e1e-
waited literature, and the greatest
scourge has been that of unclean liz
erature. This last has its victims in
all departments of life. 1t has help
ed to ell insane asvlums and peniten-
tiaries. The London plague was
nothing to it. What books and pap
ers do YOU read? A newspaper is
only a book in a swifter and more
portable shape. In selecting your
papers do you make no distinction
between the tree Of life and the tree
of death? Cherish good books and
newspapers. Beware of bad ones.

natural tree, developed from the seed

The earth we tread beneath our feet
is composed of clay and sand and
SCOT and water and if nature has her
perfect work in these substances, the
clay will become porcelain, and may
be painted upon and placed in the
kings palace: then again it may be-
come clear and hard and white and
have the power OF drawing to itself
the blue and the red, the green and
the purple rays Of the sunlight, and
become an opal. The sand will be-
come very hard aud white, and have
the powers of drawing to itself the
blue rays of the sunlight and become
a sapphire. The SCOT will become
the hardest and whitest substance
known, and be changed into di-
almond. The water in the summer is
a dewdrop, and in the winter crystal
lies into star, Even so the home
hest lives by drawing to themselves
the coloring of truth, sincerity, chart
ty and faith, may become CRYSTALS
and gems of purest ray serene.

A TRIck-PLAYlNG RIVER.
The Missouri Shifts About and Plays
Erratic Tricks.

From the New York World.
The Missouri river is at Its; tricks
again. A thousand men starved in on
Saturday to prevent it from changing
In Nebraska back to a bed which 1t
abandoned fifty years ago There is
no trouble comparable to this of hay
ing a isver which will not stay put.
Such the Missouri has ever been. On
LIS account Congress almost resolved
in 1902 never to spend another cent on
the stream.
Earth, money and steamboats, the
Missouri has devoured ravenously
within the fifty or sixty years witness
ing its rise and decline as a navigable
river OF the steamboats, more than
two hundred have been buried In the
bends between ST. Joseph and ST.
Louis.
Left to it's own present impulse, the
Missouri would run five miles away
from Blair, Neb., now river port The
bridge of the Northwestern railroad
would be left spanning a long stretch
of dry land. But little thing like that
Is nothing to the zig stream. It has
been known to wipe out 2000-acre
farm in night. In March, 1908, its
waters encroached on the main street
of Wilton, Mo-, which was two miles
from the river thirty years before
1.uove Wilton farmers were growing
rich on acres added by the flow.
Four years ago the cratic river
moved three miles from Nebraska
City. and in 1902-03 it cut S1,0OO,OO0
worth of land from farms above
Omaha.
The Missouri has changed state
boundaries and has caused lawsuits
between states, counties and individ-
uals. In 1892 in single night it threw
the 1700-acre farm of A. L. Bearsley
ten miles south of Sioux City, from
44.ssouri into Nebraska. Down oppo-
site Kansas City it ate up most of an
island which the government was try
ing to wrest from squatter. In irony
the government gave a deed for what
was left Then the river put the island
back. added to it and made the squat
ter rich.
In its composition the Missouri Is
six parts sand and mud and four parts
water. This makeup gives it local
color and the name of ''the Great
Muddy" It is about two thousand nine
hundred miles long, and in 1S50-54, the
period of it's prime, its surface wit
messed a strenuous steamboating life.
Later came the railroads, with their
blow to navigation; later still the
dwindling of the great stream itself in
It's upper waters.
We may be glad that the Hudson,
mountain-born and rock-bOund is not rs
the changeful Missouri-glad enough
to guard our own great river we'll from
its chief peril, which is that of Adiron-
dack-forest destruction.
