What is the matter with the pro-

can friends insist keeps up the
price of lead and wages of our
miners, that the price OF lead has
dropped to 81 and 81 and the
miners are working only half timer
They will doubtless tell you that
this is caused by the panic and
the stringency of the money mar
ket, which would be truthful
answer. But doesn't that mean
that supply and demand has much
to do with both the price and
wagesl When the demand is great

- EARLY MoRKINo.

Deep 10 the unfathomed wisdom
Of eternity, God conceived His divin-
est plans OF creation and over the
world, rich IN resource. He made
man king. Amidst the harmonies
OF Eden when every graceful bough
was moving magestically under the
gentle breath Of Heaven and every
blade Of grass was dcwy With the
freshness OF creative morning, God
said, Have Dominion" Was
there ever a cornation ia which there
vas such splendid manifestations OF

the greatness Of this occasion stirred
the envy OF the fallen Arc-Angel
and enraged the inhabitants Of the
underworld until the determination
was reached TO thwaft the plans Of
God2
From the morning Of that eventful
day the struggle began, and earth
vas made the battle-ground. Man
was about TO give over the contest
when over the Judah hills arose the
song Of victory. And the grander
form Of man appeared when the
peerless Hero Of Calvary illuminai-
ed the darkness OF lost Eden with
the glory Of His presence. set the
star Of hope forever in the armament
Of human life and spanned the path
way Of man With triumphal arches.
The march Of humanity is clearly
marked, all the way. by the agonies
and the ecstacies, the sorrows and
joys. the defeats and victories Of
heroes and heroines since primeval
morning. II is chanting the ineffable
glofies OF this wonderful present.
Il is vocal with the prophecy OF a
splendid future.

A BACKWARD GLANCE.

Let US ascend the summit oil
achievements and get a vision OF the
toiling millions who have wrought so
.nobly their part in the universal de-
sign.
When man was young, his mental
and elnotive natures we're nimblus
and chaotic. he controlled his
beasily foe by mere physical
strength he heved and hammered
his human enemy and boosted that
his ancestors drank blood from
human skulls.
In the deep tangled wild wood Of
the Danish islands our Saxon fathers
fought like tigers. The unhappy
offspring Of this element forced con-
test between giant beasts and human
bodies and drenched the Roman
arena with fraternal blood. This
age saw the brazen hand OF super.
siition clutch many an innocent life
and lay Il TO rest in a premature
grave. II saw man cropping in blind
credulity barring the bleeding back
TO the cruel lash OF falsehood, before
a polluted shrine where error sat
enthroned in darkness.

Every smallest, most hidden soul

II gives and takes with that eternal

Il to a state Of purity and obedience.
l do not ask you TO ignore your
mental being, but to tear down It's

A boy ia Corsica was wont to

THE SPIRITUAL AGE.

Il is inspiring TO reflect upon the
greatness Of past ages; but We are
reminded that the text says, "Eye
hath not seen, Ear hath not heard,
Heart hath not conceived" In
SEPARATION has fixed new lenses to the
mental eye. and put new trumpets to
the mental ear, and built new apart
ments to the oonceptive heart and
the human march is entering into
the region beyond-the spiritual
age. The ruby glow Of the early
morning and the sapphire brilliance
OF the Mental are blending into the
opalescent rays Of Spiritual. and the
fiery cohorts OF grander days sweep
through century, bearing US visions
Of greatness.
To the one who is fully conscious
OF bis natural powers and who will
develope physical, mental, and
spiritual into one grand equilibrium,
nothing Is impossible.
The goddess OF truth is unwinding
the chains Of former days upon her
brow rests the crown Of love; upon
her face beams the smile Of patience I;
her eyes are turned toward the
orient. where the twinkling stars Of
the spiritual dawn are heralding the
advance Of freedom, her banner
floats through the waves bearing the
proclamation that "lf the Son Of
man will make you free. you shall
be Tree indeed"
This freedom places you in the
the stream-The Beyond OF the
Scul-ihe region Of Intuition. Of
Inspiration. Superconsciousness, the
home OF the higher faculties Of mind,
the topmost story OF human life. the
Kingdom Of heaven within.
When we leave all the pictures Of
physical and mental universe and
push on into the depths Of the unseen
and spiritual universe, We may be
sure that the same law holds. We
will see first Of all. that the spiritual
universe is just as vast and compli.
Gated IN magnitude and structure as
is the physical. The systems OF
worlds rushing onward forever. like

cared he though the storm bird

wave, or wintry blast wrapped his
form IN crystal CLEAN. What though
the English monsters stood like
sentinels upon the bosom Of the deep.
Urged on by the resisiless wave he
feared no Ill fate.
The gentle voice Of nature has
not called In vain to this age. The
philosopher has delved into the
depth OF thought. The scientists
have looked into her profoundest
secrets and sought out the mighty
Of the universe and have raised 10
the sky a temple TO science, on
grounds where stood only scattered
and isolated stones. The fofgers
have climbed the mountainous waves,
wrestled with the fury OF the storm,

mystery Of the clouds had yielded

grand for mental ear. Dante thinks,
and the emblazory OF heaven is
thrown on the dark background OF

house OF man the center Of immortal

fires Of hell with the symphonies Of
saints, and the fallen angels leap
over the battlements OF heaven into
eternal death. Shakespeare thinks,
and the master hand Of past ages
