the sun shone warm and bright. It was as hot a sun as that felt during any July harvest. The locust eggs were matched out by the billions and trillions The very dust of the road seemed to be alive with moving life. Then God placed his hand over the sun. blizzard came whistling down from the far north. The biting cold made it necessary to start fire in every stove. Within twenty-four hours the pray CTS of the pleading Christians were an- swered. The locusts were frozen to death Many may stand helpless before an army of advancing, destroying locusts, but Gods power is infinite. Gods power is above every other power. even that of the locust.-(C 1907, by Louis KlOpsch.1

iterranean." Oh, that we might all have the perseverance of the locusts! After God has once mapped out our line of march may we go on and on, no mat ter whether we live or die; may we still move on and on!
 Concert of Action.
 The trouble with most of our religious lives is that we do not act in concert That is the first difficulty. The second is even more disastrous. We do not fight continuously and unrelentingly for the right. Our gospel movements for the most part are spasmodie. We are like risky colt trying to draw a load. We make 8 plunge now we make plunge again. But we do not slowly and surely tighten the traces, then keep steadily on pulling in the straight line. When the locust once aps out his line of march he never swerves one inch from the straight line So may we first find out what our straight line of duty is, then slowly, surely and unsweryingly go ahead, toeing that line no matter what may happen to us pers sonally Let us do for God what the locust does in living up to his small in- telligence.
 And can not we afford to follow the Headings of our God? Will he not direct us alright and care for us? Is not ms power infinite? Can not he triumph over even the power of the destroying locusts! Some years ago the harvests Of one or our large western states were about to be destroyed by the annual visitation of this awful locust scourge Year after year these locusts had come and deposited their eggs, and 1t seemed each year as though the farmer must desert his heids or starve. At that time there sat Christian gentleman in the gubernatorial chair He saw the almost certain imam cial destruction which was threatening his people. So he sent forth proclama- ton that all Christians should gather in the different churches on certain day and pray that God would save them, for they were helpless before the locust plague The day came. The whole state was in prayer The proclamation was sent forth in the spring of the year. Now, what was the result of that day of fasting and prayer?
 For few days after the day of prayer

word" by Burbank. ..
 Every child deserves to have a healthy nervous system.
 It is crime to teach or hint fear to child.
 Childhood must have about it the environment of love.
 Mr. Burbank says if strong ner- vous system is to be built up in the child the nerves must be fed. The food of the nerves is fresh air, nour- ishing food. freedom of mind and movement, plenty of sleep. and last but not least-an atmosphere of love.
 Burbank thinks a child should not go to school until 1t is 10 years old, provided that the child live in the only place that is it to bring up a boy, or a plant-the country"
 The naturalist is especially hard upon those who would make a child afraid of anything. No normal child should he afraid of the dark" Stories about ghosts, bogiemen and about death injure the physical, the mental and the moral health of child. Fear affects the delicate nervous system dis sstrously. And it tends 10 destroy childish faith and trust.
 Most of all, urges MT. Burbank. there must be about the child the at mosphere of love. It is as necessary as sunshine to the flower. Heredity is as nothing by the side of right en- yironment.
 The parent can make and fix the character of the child .%s And then. when the human plant Is fixed in its growing state, 1t will be- come hardy and strong to withstand the storm and stress of after life.

CURE BY SUGGESTION.

Mind-cure is recommended by Dr
 Qugckenbos. of the New Jersey Home for Wayward Girls, who has treated
 5000, with cures in so per cent of his
 cases. It Is ali done by suggestion. |"
 The Patient-foT q deprayed person
 is morally diseased-7is hypnotized, in effect. and impressed with a new set
 of ideas. The hypnotizer gets control of the mind of a nervous person and
 gets his mind of his ailment of body
 CT mind A person with broken-dOwn
 nerves is partially non compos mentis.
 He thinks he has a disease he hasn't or he creates it by thinking he has 1t.
 Once convinced he has a certain dis. ability he remains so till hypnotizer
 gets control of his mind and "sug-
 ges;s" that he is well. Then he is
 well, if he yields to the hypnotizcr. A man is often strong If he believes it firmly.
 Mesmerism was once a curiosity. but it is now utilized to some extent by physicians, especially in France and England There is much hypno. tizing. or control, by "suggestion." in our everyday life of which no note is taken. Little Bobby, for example. comes crying bitterly to his Cousin Lizzie with rosy finger bleeding. He has scratched it and 1t hurts him bad ly. Lizzie kisses. 1t eimpressiyely and says. Now, Bobby, it Is well" And well it is, and Bobby runs away con tented and happy. So with us child ren of larger growth. A cheering word. uttered with confident voice and manner, is medicine for those who have "a mind disease" Everyone knows a magnetic friend who charms all he meets. He acts by suggestion. There is also potency in seIf-sugges- tion.
 Dr. ouackenbos utiiizes such curious facts for the benefit of mankind. .'I am consinced." he says.

Delegate Andrews has returned to New Mexico from Washington. He has not been received by any public demonstration in approval of his work while in the national capital. But it must not be taken that Andrews is without friends in New Mexico; every member of the old republican machine w!lI be around to fall on his neck and weep tears of gratitude because of the removal of Governor Hagerman which it is believed was brought about by the New Mexico delegate. Hager- man had the old gang down and out and the people of the territory were rejoicing when Andrews came to the rescue and relief of the machine which helped to put Rodey on the list of retired New Mexican statesmen. Andrews election last fall was by the interest majority and this majority is being contested in the courts. ThH people of the territory are falling away from him and his days in con- gross have been numbered. While the old gang will worship him the great majority of the citizens will be getting ready to smite him in his po- litical vitals when the next election comes around.
