How Can a Man be Born When he 10
Old?

When Nicodemus asked this
question nearly 1000 years ago
in the synagogue, the only an.
swer he got was this: Marvel
not man, say unto you, you
must be born again; that which
is born of the flesh is flesh, and
that which is born of the spirit
is spirit; the wind bloweth where
it listeth and you hear the sound
thereof, but you knoweth not
from whence it cometh or with
er it goeth; so is every man who
is born of the spirit We are
not prepared to say that Nicode-
mus was any the more elighten-
ed on the subject, tho he might
have been. There are many
people to-day as ignorant as was
the prophet. Preachers often
emphasize on the word, born
again and yet r-fifths of us do
not understand them, nor do
many of them know what they
are talking about themselves.
Born of the spirit-to be born
you must first be conceived by
the spirit. If our preachers
would hold up a little on their
halo about the pearly gates and
golden slippers, etc., and explain
things, we would be richer and
better in our knowledge and hope
of an infinite felicity.

1t must be remembered that in
the development Of the moral state,
we are constantly building; that our
moral status is not complete while
we remain in the flesh. Infinite toll
would not enable. one to sweep away
a mist, but by ascending little,
one may often look over it altogeth-
err. Just so it is with our moral i'm
prOvements: we wrestle fiercely with
vicious habit which could have no
hold on us whatever. if we assembled
into higher moral atmosphere.-N.

The open enmity of the Presi- dent toward the Fairbanks boom has caused considerable surprise, Were 1t only on the ground of courtesy, politicians believe that Mir. Roosevelt should have kept hands off the Vice Presidents activity and have taken l0 part in attempting to discredit his ambition. It Is said on what is regarded as good authority that Gov ernor Guild of Massachusetts, on his recent visit to Oyster Bay, was given a distinct tip by the President and seantor Lodge to avoid any sem blance of official warmth on the occa- sion of Vice President Fairbanks vis- it to Boston. Any way, twice this week the Governor of the Bay State has pointedly avoided any appear

 Cannon is not diminishing his ac- tivities in any way, but is seeing to it that he gets in touch with the right men in the right places, and the Western tour he is now making is not being undertaken solely for pleas ure.
