made worship more ethical. When
men are fully awake they will see the
glory of Christ, for He is the truth for
the mind, love for the heart and
power and guide for the will. No true
development of the human personality
will exceed the glory of Christ, o
go SO high that He shall not remain
it's ideal and it's good. We a think
of nothing in the moral and spiritual
scale beyond or better than Jesus
Christ.
Christ is not only the ideal Of this
spiritual awakening. but He is the
great cause of it.. He is the inspira-
ton of the modern scientific research
for truth. His challenge was Come

of inquiry, of openness to the truth,

into possession Of her truth. By
obeying nature man has come to con-

man by her treasures and her secrets.
The mind Of Christ, which obeys,
which is open to the truth, which
challenges Investigation, which sub

progress in knowledge. So also in
the moral realm. Christ is the great
power to quicken the conscience, pro-
duce repentance and win the moral
nature to the highest standards. He
has developed the moral nature to
the place where no man can hope to
be religious beyond the extent that
he is moral, and no corporation repre-

tent that it incorporates the ethics
of Christian love in all it's business.

FINHNCES OF SCHOOLS
IN SPLENDID SHAPE
All Debts Paid and Will avG Mon3g Left alter Eight Months OF
School. LarQ8r and Better Building Necessity.
Present board Deserving Of Credit.
Of the board.

Of the board
The work of the School is superintend-
ed by w. R. Shelton, assisted by D.
B. Morrill, and Mrs. Nellie Rowe. They
are doing excellent work, under the
crowded and cramped conditions of the
school room. A larger and better build
ing is an immediate necessity.
The assessed valuation for the district
last year was $175, 10000, and it should
be about the same this year, altho the
size Of The district has been diminished
by the creation Of new districts. On a
four per cent basis, the district could
legally issue bonds to the extent of ST.
000.00, with which p good building
could be erected. No doubt a site
would be donated, so that all the funds
could be used for the building proper.
1t is the intention Of the board of di-
rectors to place the issuance of such
bonds before the citizens at the school
election in April. Every citizen who
has the welfare Of children in general
and the Fstancia district in particular
at hecrt should vote for the bonds That
our school finances are in such good
shape at present. all indebtedness hav-
ing been paid, goes to show that the
district will be we'll able to take care Of
such bonds in the future.

Domici1ed under one Roof

The Dow home in Estancia is at
present sheltering four generations, a
circumstance which rarely occurs. Mrs.
Dow's aged mother, little beyond the

Monday afternoon Mrs. N. S. Rose,
nee Maggie Dow arrived from Carri-
zozo with her thirteen months old
daughter, Miss Stella, to make an eX-
tended visit with her parents. Mrs.
Lutitia Bolander, sister of Mrs. Dow,
arrived from her home in Magdalena

serious illness of the aged mother. The
latter however, is improving and gain

taking an enthusiastic interest in the
affair, and like everything that the

number of the minor details of the trip
were arranged at a meeting of the
Boosters in the Duke City last Monday
night. The boosters will wear uniform
caps; they will be filled to overfowing
with facts and figures telling of the
wonderful advantages of New Mexico's
Metropolis; they will probably be ac-

the territory; they will have all kinds
of advertising matter and souvenirs;
they will form travelling chorus, led
by a famous quartet, singing the
praises of not only Albuquerque but of
every town at which they stop. For
this latter they have asked that every
poet in every town along the proposed
route write sonnets of the various
towns. The Journal has offered prizes
for the best songs, and Estancia must
have song to accompany the many
others.

ernoon. 1t is a far cry from the tink-
ling music and good-natured wit of
Hoyts "A Milk White Flag" to the
poetical flights and stirring sword
play of this costume melodrama, but
the company compassed the transition
without becoming travel worn.
Little need be said either of the play
or regarding the manner of its acting.
The production is the same that won
favor on this stage last year and the
year before that, and the cast, too,
shows no important changes. William
Desmond still plays the vagabond ad-
venturer better than he plays the poet
lover; Maude Gilbert is still the alb
bess, and the roles of Louis XI, Kath-
arine de Vaucelles and Thibaut
d'Aussigny are again interpreted by
Harry Mestayer, Blanche Hall and A.
Byron Beasley.
Mr.. Desmond's Villon vagabonds it
with the worst of them He Is a
roisterer, goodnatured bully, a
ne'er do well. Beyond this, however,
the actor has failed to take the char
acter as his own, chiefly through a
too rapid ocution, which mars the
poetry of Villon's best speeches.
Villon was a dreamer, a genius, a
