What Is Life?-1 never heard of a
biologist who could tell what life is.

you shall live. Either He made a great
mistake when He said that or they
made a great mistake to forget that He
said it-Rev. Fl. w. Stryker, Presby-
terrain, Clinton, N. Y.

into the world with a real work to do,

kept him in close communion with God,
and it is the communion that anyone
must have who is to do anything

list, Schenectady, N. Y.
The Newspaper. The newspaper
must give the people what they de-
mands 1t may, by tact and fnesse,

the public what the wise wife is to her
! husband-"while she bends him she
obeys him."-Rev. Charles Scadding
