more. Each one of these new words
enlarges our knowledge.
But words do not increase our knowl-
edge of men morally or in the language
of the heart. Moral science may have
become more elaborate, but the vital
and instructive principles which are
for the guidance and development of
manhood and character have not been
improved All those words called the
Ten Commandments, spoken at least
1000 years ago, describe man just as
fully and exclusively to-day as they
did then
SO also is this true of the laws of
the heart. If one of the Pharaohs
looked In upon US he would be bewil-
dered at the multitudinous changes in
social, civic, commercial and indus
trial affairs; yet what a CLEAN of intel
lectual recognition and appreciation
would come into his eyes the moment
he looked upon two lovers or a mother
nursing her baby, or into the faces of
sorrow by an open grave. These are
the same throughout all ages. They
are like the physical laws Of steam
and OF air and of electricity and of
motion. They are always here. Man
does not invent them; he is their dis
coverer.
Thus it is that man never progresses
by trying to invent moral truth. When
he seeks to discover 1t, follow it, love
1t, make 1t the supreme object In life,
then he finds himself close to the Di-
vine presence, touching the things of
God, breathing the spirit of God. And
he needs not to go far afield, for he
finds it in himself in his relationship
with his fellows and In Gods word.
1t is too often assumed that moral
laws are restrictions, fences, guards,
but the truth is that 1t is sin that
is the restriction. 1t is sin that re-
tards manhood growth, it is sin that
causes the retarding complications in
life, it is sin that perverts mans am
billions, clouds his vision, dulls his ear,
confuses and blights his affections,
whereas his hearty, loyal response to
the moral and spiritual laws of God
gives him freedom. 1t is in them that
he finds his true self, his manhood, the
joy of living, calling into play his
noblest powers.
The national laws are not restrie-
lions, fences curtailing personal liber-
ty; they may be that to the criminal,
but to the good citizen they are the
means by which he reaches his best
citizenship. we cannot imagine a citi-
zenship without laws any more than
we can imagine a manhood without
laws, and so moral law is an essen
tial art of every human life. This may
be proved by looking upon manhoods
failures as well as upon manhoods sue
cesses. They have come by breaking
vided.
Therefore, Jesus did not merely ex.
press a religious truth, but one of the
profoundest, deepest. Misunderstanding
of oil moral principles when He said
to the young lawyer, How readest
thou? This do and thou shalt
live" Through that doorway he would
find abundant life, he would find his
true self, for just within 1t he would
find God the source of truth and life,
he would find Christ the ideal, the re-
newer, the pattern, the inspiration to
the only life worth llving-the life of
God in the human soul.

sides was resumed in the ThaW muir

he would be satisfied if Thaw is sent
to an asylum instead Of to prison.
William McHugh was chosen as the
eighth tentative juror.
Frank Howell, vice president of the
National Drill company was accepted

BURIED LIVE BABY BY SEA
SCANDAL IN LISBON SOCIETY
CAUSED BY STARTLING
DISCOVERY.

PARIS. Jan. 10.-A dispatch from
Lisbon SAYS that a remarkable scam
dal has arisen in the highest society
there. following a discovery recently
made by fishermen on the seashore
near the city The men were going to
their work at an early hour when
they heard a feeble cry which seemed
to come from the ground beneath
their feet. Being superstitiOus they
were about to flee from the spot, when
suddenly one of them came upon the
cause of tie sound.
1t was a baby two IN nths old, par
TALLY buried in the sand The little
one was taken to the nearest police
which led to the discovery of a do
mestic drama in the highest Portu-
guese society.
The mother of the child is well
known. and during the absence of her
husband on service in the Portuguese
African colonies she had become en-
tangled in love intrigue. When she
heard of her husbands impending re-
turn she set to work to hide her dis
grace. Whether she personally de-
posted the child in the sand is not
known. but the affair has caused a
great sensation in spite of the efforts
of her relatives. who are infiuentially
connected. to hush the matter up.
