Why Women Should Wear Hats in
Chnreh
From The world Today.

From The World Today.
An English vicar says:
LET us consider the reasons why a
Christian woman should cover her head
what these principles of the Apostle were:
~ Mans nrinrity OF creation. Adam
was first formed, then Eve.
C) The manner Of creation. The man is
not Of the woman. but the woman of the
man.
(0 The purport Of creation. The man
was not created for the woman, but the
woman for the man.
~ Results in creation. The man is the
image Of the Glory Of God: but woman is
the glory of man.
~ Woman's priority in the fall. Adam
was not deceived. but the woman, being
deceived. was in the transgression.
O) TIL marriage relation. AS the church
is subject to Christ. so let the wives be to
their husbands.
60 The headship Of man and woman.
The head Of every man is Christ, but the
head OF the woman is man.
And this in the twentieth century!

BARK BEETLE

Deadwood. S. D.. Jan. 23.-The annual
meeting OF the Black Hills forest re-
serve rangers was held at the Franklin
hotel last evening. In spoons to an
invitation from Captain Bullock. the
rangers assembled at dinner and the
meeting was made both n business and
social one. Reports from last year
showed conditions good throughout the
Black Hills, and also hat the bark
beetIe, the great foe to the Black Hills
forest, has made no advance during the
past year. In Custer and Pennington
it is true that much timber is
still being destroyed, but in the North
ern Hills The Improvement is so great
that If an average We're struck it would
show that the beetle has really gained
no ground.
