Mother Earth.

When Junius Brutus and the sons
of Tarquin asked the famous Delphic
oracle who was TO succeed Superbus
on the throne of Rome, they received
for an answer; "He who shall first
kiss his mother" AS the two princes
were Fastening home to fulfil what
they thought was meant, Brutus fell
TO the earth and cried out: Thus do

Mrs. Jessie Fremont Dietsch OF San

a costly collection OF time honored
jewelry and countless shares in wild

sued for several days with great earn

April 2S, alone and I'm seclusion, her
effects were taken charge OF by the
public administrators in the absence of
any near relatives. The officers were
informed that tho old woman was pos.
sessed OF great wealth and the stories
came from such reliable sources that
Il was deemed advisable TO make A
complete search of the premises.
With this end in view Hynes and his
assistants strained every effort 10 lo.

In the knowledge OF God for which

God perceives the hope OF his calling.
2. The riches Of Gods glory is in His

at work which God relies upon to save
the world, and 10 apprehend the
greatness OF His power toward us who
believe. To know God is to under
stand that all power in Heaven and
in earth is at His disposal and that
II is pledged 10 supply all the needs OF
His children.
Both the other subjects for which
Paul prays are impossible without
this knowledge OF God: with. II, they
are possible and almost assured. The
perfect walk and the perfect work
would seem 10 be the normal out
growth OF such spiritual understand
ing. To know Him and Jesus Christ
whom He hath sent, is, and must ever
