The Need of Definite Faith.

believe me that | am in the father,
and the father in me; or else believe me
for the very works sake"
When Jesus calls for belief in him, be
calls for the definite need Of the ages.
Man must have faith. 1t is the very
warp Of our social fabric. Without sim
pie faith man could not live. We call
men infidels, il they do not believe Just
what we do. But technically there are
no infidels There is no man without
faith. He has it more or less definitely.
What would our existence be, il We
we're without faithY The child cries as
its first breath of air rushes into its tiny
lungs. Then the breathing becomes in
voluntary. When the child arrives at
the age Of understanding, he learns that
to breathe is a dangerous operation.
The air Is impregnated with impurities.
Disease germs abound in uu!magiuao'e
multtudes The next breath we draw
may bring certain death But We have
faith that the air may not be so impure
or that the action of the white blood
corpuscles may protect US, so we go on
breathing with almost no fear and with
much faith. We know that diseases
arise from the drinking of impure water
Some are so affected 10y this thought
that they drink other more harmful and
even more impure liquors The water
has danger in it. but We have faith. We
read OF the terrible conditions IN the
slaughter houses, of men being cooked
in lard watts and canned with the lard,
and of impurities and diseases abound
ing through the old regime, Then We
learn that authorizations are very com
mon and almost impossible to legisla.e
out of existence. The newspapers often
record instances Of ptomaine poisoning.
Fear could easily keep US from tood, but
hunger and faith lead US 90. Houses
are burg Iarized Assaults are commit
ted. People are murdered. Buildings
fall. Ceilings are dangerous. The
lightning may strike any moment. An
escaped lunatic may be on our trail.
The train may be wrecked. A thousand
actual dangers can be easily pictured,
but life would be terrible nightmare,
If we were constantly haunted by these
fears. We are partly CONSCIOUS OF these
things, but an inherent faith buoys US
up and carries US on.

midas Wild Hill Tribes.

The wild hill tribes in India, known
as the Kolis, Kumbis, Dhangurs and
Dhayars, are a people imbued with
quaint Old World superstitions, They
are haunted by the fear of the evil
eye, especially for their children.
Cunning and light of foot as satyrs,
these children are ready to disappear
with a sudden bound into the forest
thickets. The Dhangurs have curious
marriage customs When they want
to ascertain the favorable moment for
the performance of the rites, the
young couple are made to sit before
the door of a hut, from which a COW
and then its calf are driven forth If
the calf runs to its mother on the
right of the seated pair the ceremony
can begin IT, on the contrary, it
passes them on the left, the proceed
ings must be suspended. A ring
passed over the brides finger, some
grains of rice thrown over the young
people, and they are married These
tribes have an incessaut struggle
against poverty and the elements.

founder must have ia him the possibili-
ties of the great result that is so appar
ent to US. Certainly one OF the greatest
works of Christ is the christian religion.
We should believe in HIM for the very
evidences OF his power shown IN the pre-
sent time, even II for no other reason.
In the times past men have tried to
wreck the power of christianity by wick
ed lives and by false interpretations
They have burdened the gospel ship
with such heavy cargo of creeds and
theological controversies that were 1t
not for the divine pilot it would have
been dashed to pieces on the rocks OF
doubt and disbeliefs. 10 the present
hour the power of God and the spirit OF
Christ are leading men out of the treach
erous shoals and freeing the ship from
the hampering disputations We are
now coming to see that the essence of
religion is to believe in Christ and obey
him.
Can we not have that simple faith
free from all restriction? Belief is the
risen and glorified Christ Do we not
need to try to follow him who lived his
life on this earth, who vas tempted in
all points like as we are and yet without
sin? tie calls us to follow him. He says
believe me-" Shall we not believe him,
have that definite faith that will inspire
US to nobler living and will aid US in our
temptations? Let US then believe in
Him and confess that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of the living God

One will sometimes dnd farmer who

The world has developed no race of

lying consciousness, The faith may not
be clear; 10 fact, 1t is in some lndivid uals
dim. But it exists. There are groups
of religious people in modern times who
have faith that is dim and uncertain
They pray 10 the ETHEREAL overpower,
much as the mau prayed who said. "Oh,
God, if there is God, save my soul, if
| have a soul" Such faith as this lacks
moral inspiration.
As surely as it is impossible to exist
without some kind of faith, just so is it
impossible to live the best life without
a definite faith 10 the most inspiring OBJ
ject of faith that the world has ever
known.
We must have faith in God, and in
HIM whom God sent. "All men shou
honor the Son, even as they honor the
Father He that honoreth not the Son
honoreth not the Father that sent him ="
Therefore let all Israel know assuredly
that God hath made the same Jesus
whom ye have crucifed, both Lord and
Christ"
When Jesus calls for US to believe him,
he puts belief on a tangible basis. If
we cannot believe in him on a simple
basis, he asks US to believe him for the
very works sake. That should appeal
to every one of us. We are searching
for something tangible. Something that
we can see and understand. The reason
that religious takers get such a following
is that the healing acts performed on
the nervous and the credulous appear
to be tangible evidences of power These
seem like works that call forth faith.
Perhaps the power may remain for a
while, and perhaps a crude system OF
teaching may be wrought out and new
crops of the gullible gathered in. But
the enduring element is not there, and
the soul hungry individuals must 90

establish our faith in him in some such

understand these works and miraclesY
Perhaps that is so, but there are works
you cannot deny. Where does the
christian religion come from? Did it
merely happenH Could we have such a
great result today involving so many
millions OF people in real advancement
unless there was sufficient cause?
There may be miracles that you cannot
understand, but there could be no great

Advancing Prices.

county have organized a county
press association and have as one
of their principal aims the raising
of subscription price of weekly
papers to 81. so per year. They
propose to extend the organiza-
ton over a number of counties
in the southwestern part of the
state.
"To some the movement may
appear to be a mere concerted
effort at "price boosting" but
such is not the case. Newspaper
publishers are today facing a
condition, not theory, that calls
for a prompt solution. The price
of print paper, the quality used
in newspaper production, is
steadily on the increase and the
end is not yet in sight. A year
ago paper was selling at 81. 10
per hundred pounds, while today
it has gone above the $500 mark.
Within a few months, it is pre-
dicted, even this price will be
nearly doubled.
Papers of certain class are
railing against the combining of
the print paper mills and are
loud in their denunciation of
"trusts. But their vociferous
clamoring is i'll advised and will
avail nothing. The laws of ma
ture are at work and the laws OF
man cannot prevail against her.
The pulp supply is constantly
failing and as the cost Of produc-
ton is increased the cost Of paper
must seek an equitable level. 1t
is the infallible law of supply
and demand and newspaper pub
fishers and newspaper readers
will have to obey it.
THE time is practically past
when a weekly paper can be
printed at the standard price of
one dollar a year, and the pub
Usher who neglects to read 1.-The
hand writing on the wall" and
regulate his selling price accord
ingly will sound his own bust
ness death knell. The city pub
locations are also devising plans
for decreasing their paper con
sumption and increasing their
subscription revenues.
"But why should not newspaper
prices advance? The purchasing
power of a dollar has decreased
over 30 per cent in the last few
years. The farmer receives
more for his products and the
merchant more for his goods
than he did a few years ago, and
newspaper prices must also ad
vance in proportion to the in
creased cost of production.
1.-THE Day Spring has not decid-
ed upon an advance in price as
yet, but we wish to acquaint our
readers with existing conditions.
We believe that within a few
months the price of newspapers
the country over will be mater
tally increased, and that of Van
Buren, county publications will
of necessity be included. And
it is also a subject to which the
publishers of the county should
begin to accord serious thought :
We publish the above article
from the Hartford Day Spring
