John D. Rockefeller. j

John D. Rockefeller, jr.,
gave this wholesome advice
to his Bible class in New York
a few weeks ago: LET us so
live that we can walk along
the street and look everyone
in the eye unfinchingly." The
young mans sentiment was
probably inspired from the
fact that his dad is having
the time of his life these days
hiding from the officers of
the law, 1t is very noticeable
that these sanctimonious mil.
lionaires are long on advice
but when the calcium light
is turned on their own past,
it looks rank. They pray by
word and prey in deed.

Sets Aside Belief.

One would hardly expect the subject of

serious attention. but lengthy investi-
cation of the trees OF that country has
recently been made by no less distin-
guished person than DR.. c. " Prytz.
professor of forestry at Copenhagen. He
says that the prevailing notion that Ice
land has a single tree only is fallacy.
and that there is quite pretentious
growth Of trees on the land, the soil not
being unsuited for the growth. The tree
grow tn OF the country has suffered from
injudicious cutting, he says; and he
makes recommendation for the refor-
estration Of the lands and offers sugges-
tons about the planting OF birches. The

where the snow lies deep immunity from
