The spbinx and the Inf,nite

/ can imagine the most determined
atheist looking at the Sphinx and, in
q flash, not merely believing, but
feeling that he had before him proof
of the life Of the soul beyond the
grave, of the life of the soul of
Khufu beyond the tomb of his pyra-
mid. Always as you return to the
Sphinx you wonder at it more, you
adore more strangely its repose. you
steep yourself more intimately in the
aloof peace that seems to emanate
from It as light emanates from the
sun. And as you look on it at last
perhaps you understand the infinite;
you understand where is the bourne
to which the finite flows with all it's
greatness, as the great Nile flows be-
yond the Victoria Nyanza to the sea.

When it came ON the third summer, he
bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and
gave it faithful trial. Soon he began to
feel better and he cured himself entirely
of eczema with Cuticura. A lady in In

Miller, had cured her little son of terrible
eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This
lady's little one had the eczema SO badly
that they thought they would lose it. She
