The Problem Of Hearst.

Everybody actively interested in

Hearst going to do?'
An anonymous writer in the cur

and apparently fair speculation upon
the Hearst political program. lie

merely ,oujccture as TO what Mr
Hearst might intend to do because the

Last Sunday morning the
pastors subject was Putting God
to the Proof" and the text was
from Malachi $40. Prove me

hosts, and the idea was empha-
sized that by making use Of the
tests prescribed in the Bible the
things of the kingdom of God"
which to the average Christian
are only probabilities may become
certainties and he may know the
things that are freely given to us
Of Cod.
The invisible universe is as real
as the visible. The phenomena of
mind and feeling and will and
conscience are as real and actual
entities as the phenomena of
matter. And as science is simply
a classification of verified facts
from which the laws of the uni
verse are discovered, 1t follows that
the a true religion has as real a
scientific basis as any of the
branches of natural science. The
patient investigator has gathered |
up the unalterable facts of nature
deducted from them the general
avs which underlie these phe-
1omena and we call it the science
of optics, chemistry, astronomy
tic. And in the same way holy
men of old moved by the Holy
Ghost have by experience dis
covered the laws of the Spiritual
Universe and formulated them in |
he Bible and called them the law
IF God. The professor Of natural
science in the callings will en-
courage his students not simply to
receive the statements Of his text
books, upon faith, but as far as
possible try the experiment for
himself, and verify the fact as
given in his lesson, in other words
put nature to the proof and thus
learn by experiment the truthful
ness of the statements given in his
text book.
And so God the Divine Professor
of Spiritual Science says to the
Christian, prove me, put me to the
test, try the experiment for your
self in regard to the laws / have
given you in the Bible, and you
shall find your religion is founded,
not upon bare probability, but
there will come into your life a
certainty Of the blessed realities of
the invisible kingdom of God.
Such was the experimental evil
dence possessed by Paul when he
said I know whom l have be-
lieved" or Job when he wrote Il
know that my Redeemer liveth",
or John who said We know that
we have passed from death unto
life. Agnosticism, or unbelief is

is to try the experiment as directed

suddenly as did his aged coat and

Easter
Lilies
BY MAUD wALKER.

1t was the evening before Easter
Sunday a chill, cold Saturday even
ing. with clouds which threatened TO
let fall a deluge at every minute.
Low thunder Joined its rumbIing with
the many street noises OF the little
inland city of Dash. People were
rushing to and fro, bent on their sat
urday evening .errands, all in hurry
to reach their homes before the storm
should break.
Before a florists window Fred Grif-
fifth paused to look at fine display
OF lilies which were there for sale.
Fred was a stranger in the town,
having Just arrived there few
weeks before. He had come to fur
Their his musical studies, and knew
very few people in Dash. In fact. his
musical instructor, few of his fell
low-students and his landlady we're
the only speaking aequaintances he
had. Friends, in the full meaning
of the word, he had yet to make. So
on this gloomy Easter eve Fred felt
very lonely, As the darkness settled
down he had become restless and
bit homesick, and could not, practice
his Mondays lessons after the gas
was lighted. Somehow, thoughts OF
his dear ones at home, remembrances
of the old Easter-eves with his faith
er, mother and little sisters came
over him so strongly that he could
not follow his notes. So, closing the
piano and 'banishing thought Of his
adored music, he hurried from his
room into the street to lose himself
in the eager crowd that seemed bent
on going everywhere and in every
direction at once.
But the sight OF the fresh, beautl-
full lilies in the florists window
caught hiI eye, and he drew away
from the hurrying crowd to stop and
look " the display. "They look just
like home" he sighed aloud, though
he was not aware that he spoke over
his breath.
Like home" came faint voice,
echoing his words, and Fred turned
to see standing beside him an old
man in shabby coat and much-worn
hat. His face was wan and bore the
marks of i'll health and want. He
held his trembling hands together,
as II for warmth. He. too, looked at
the Easter lilies In the window and
sighed. Like home" he repeated,
apparently Obvious of Fred's pres
ence and attention.
Then you are far from home, also.
sir?" asked Fred, wishing to say al
few friendly words to one situated
like himself. away from home and
lonely. And the old mans age and
feebleness touched him to sympathy.
"Ah, my young friend" said the
aged man, turning his dim eyes on
Fred, 1--WE been away from home

the thing call memory-recollection
rather-of a home is but the fancy OF

one has reached my years and has
suffered hardships-above all, disap-
pointment-he has many foolish
fancies in his day dreams, as well as
in his night dreams. You see, I'm
close upon 20 years Of age, and the
things that existed in my young days
are now but emories-dreams."
Yes. suppose 1t does seem So"
agreed Fred, for, to tell the truth,
he had been trying very hard that
day to make himself believe that he
