Marriage Problems.

That marriages are made in
heaven is one of those proverbial
sayings that everybody accepts,
but nobody thinks of believing.
Most people who know anything
of the world know that tn e
matches of society are made in
back drawing rooms, and wher-
ever those of the middle classes
are arranged they certainly dis
play no more signs of celestial
origin than the former. In some
cases the girl to-day conducts
her own affairs, and no we'll
brought up mother thinks of be-
ing shocked when her daughter
says, Mamma, let me introduce
Mr.. So-and-so; l have just ac-
cepted him." She may withhold
the maternal blessing until she
has satisfied herself as to her fu-
ture son-in-law's prospects, but
the actual value of the maternal
blessing being nil, it is more than
probable that the bridal couple
will not find it altogether indis-
pensable.
Whatever the matchmaking
proclivities of the modern girl
may be, it is, however, evident, |
in view of the surplus of women, |
that a large proportion of the
former are doomed to spinster-
hood, while owing to certain So

ards of enlightenment.
The spirit of the new thought
or the new psychology, in its true
attitude, is not away from, but
nearer to, Christ, for in Him is
our light, and by His spirit are
we led into all truth. The So
called mysteries of the Christian
religion should disappear when
the child-mind can comprehend
the Fathers mind. Mysteries
are not in God, but come from
the limitation of the finite mind
of man. When the finite shall
have become infinite, and able to
enter the deep things of God,
mysteries shall disappear. But
it is useless to deny that myster-
les do exist at present. Seeing
that we are not, by our position
as children, able to sit in judg-
ment upon the acts Of the Faith
er, let us take heed, lest we find
we are opposing the light, in
stead of being disciples Of the
same.
The fact that there is a cry of
the human soul for more light is
an evidence to me that God is
leading His children forward,
and that when the time is come
He will give it. At the present
time we are as children rejoicing
in the early dawn, feeling the
glorious day which is about flood
ing the world with Gods light in
to the cry of the souls of !
His children. Until we are pre-
pared to receive and use the
higher truths of God, we need
not expect them; they are to be

New Thought and the Christian
Religion.

In reading the article of Mrs.
Margaret lie Grange in the July
number Of the Stellar Ray, it
seems that some have not ap-
pretended the Christ of God or
his teaching correctly. | do not
intend to write an apology for
the Christian religion, for it needs
none. Its works speak in louder
voice and bear stronger testimo-
ny than anything man can say.
While we are ready to acknowledge
that there have at different times
been errors of teaching and doc
trine in the Christian church,
there was also a power taking
hold of men as it found them and
leading them forth from their
environment into a higher life.
The movements which have led
man from the lower state of civ
ilizatiOn onward and upward to
his present state of enlightenment
have been in the church or sprung
from it, and were none other than
The spirit of the Christ.
Who teaches the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man
with such convincing power but
a disciple of this same Christ?
There were none whocould come
to the dead, callous hearts of
men and touch them with such
a potent finger as to cause them
to awaken to the new ideas of
love, winch should even trans
cend brotherhood and stand in
unity of the whole human race,
but the divine Christ. If we but |
study the progress of humanity |
with an unbiased mind, and keep
free from prejudice, as becomes
honest students searching after
the truth, we must acknowledge
the power Of Jesus Christ as be-
ing supreme in it's good to hu-

cial restrictions, many more who
might otherwise have married
have had to remain single simply
from lack of opportunity.
Of course, there are girls-we
all know them-Who will manage
to get married under any circum-
stances. If they never met more
than one man in their lives they
would marry him, just as there
are others who, no matter how
many men they know, will never
find a husband among them;
while these, however, are more
or less exceptional, it is certai n
that a large number of women.
never marry simply for the rea-
son that they move in a limited
circle, which possibly does not
include a single eligible man.
To the rescue of these forIorn
maidens comes the matrimonial
agent, and, judging from the
publications of one foreign firm,
it is not only justifiable, but fills
"a long-felt want"
Two things at once impress
themselves on reading these ad-
Vertisements-first, that, strange
as it may seem, the majority ap-
pear perfectly genuine; and, Sec
ondly, one marvels that so many
according to their own account
-eminently desirable individuals
should not have been snapped up
long before they reached the
state of desperation impelling
them to inscribe their needs in a |
matrimonial auction list.

Well, by far the most particular
part Of all your plans is to make
sure that the right paper goes on

The cost of the paper is worth con-
sidering-but style, newness, suit
ability is your main lookout.
For it is quite possible for you to

may pay as high as 4Oc a roll, and
still have patterns away behind

COUNTY MAKES
SMALL GAIN
POPULATION OF MARSHALL
COUNTY AT PRESENT ES-
TIMATED AT 25,3s5.
Votes Cast in Recent Election are
Indicative of Small Growth
Since 1900.

The number of votes cast at the
recent election, indicates that Mar
shall county has made a very small
gain in population during the last 8
years. That the vote does indi-
cate the population of city or coun-
ty, is generally conceded. In 1900,
the United States census gave TINS
county population of 25,11s, and the
total vote cast at that presidential
election in the county was 6,435.
This year the total presidential
vote in Marshall county was 6.5o4
composed as follows: Democrats
32s7, Republican 2947 Prohibition
party 1919, Socialist 55, Socialist Lab
or 10. Independent G. The rate given
by comparing the vote in 1900 to the
census population is 3-9o3 In other
words there are 1908 inhabitants in
the county to every voter. This COM
puted gives a present population OF
~o,ooo, ShONiiiS d gam Va July Soo III
the county during S years.
1t is estimated that during the pas,
8 years. the city of Plymouth has in
creased about 1904 in population
The census of 1900, gives this cit;
1866. According to computations
made with the canvass in preparing
the recent city directory for Ply
mouth, this city's population is esti-
mated at 4,6so, gain of 1,oa4 since
1900.
If these figures are true undoubted-
ly the rural districts of the county are
falling off quite heavily in popula-
ton. The total loss since 1900, out
