under Aunt Abiatha's eyes.

one sunny morning as they sat to-

For a few minutes the birds in the
garden had it all to themselves, so
suddenly still were the two people who
sat there.
"Gwendolyn," Jack finally found
himself asking in a husky voice quite
unlike his own, do you really love it
down here-the quiet, lazy life we
lead?''
Gwendolyn nodded, but did not lift
her face.
Love it enough to stay with me,

Gwendolyn nodded again.
"Iook up at me, you fraud" Jack
commanded, taking her jOyfully into
his arms.
"I can't" Gwendolyn protested
blinking. There's something in my
eye"

implored Jack sympathetically "What
1t it, darling?"
"A tear, think" confessed the mis-
chievous Gwendolyn.

we believe the crowds at the festivities

the day of waterways Is at hand. It

must have solved the problem by criss-
crossing their globe with navigable
waterways and defying the Marian

In England great inland city that
grew tired of railroad freight rates and
aspired to maritime greatness solved

DECLARES MISSIONARY WORK
SHOULD BEGIN IN CHURCHES

LOS ANGELES, July 10.-TEditor
Herald: Savonarola hits the keynote
when he says "missionary work should
begin with the churches if not with
the preachers"
Perhaps the spirit of noted per-
sonage of Florence, Girolamo SaVona-
rola by name, is among us.
This reformer, preacher and reVolu-
zionist during the latter part of the
fifteenth century acquired great IN
fluence over the minds of those VINO
still had virtue enough to perceive the
vices of the age.
He incurred the displeasure of the
pope and fell under the distaVor OF the
Medici and other powerful families.
notwithstanding a decree of banish-
ment issued against him by the court
Of Rome, SaVonarola shut hlmselG up
in the convent of San Marco, denounced
all luxury and hated all art. The papal
party triumphed. Savonarola and two
of his followers were strangled and
their bodies burned in the public square
of Florence. Our reformers today IN
cur the displeasure of the powers that
be- and we need the spirit of liberty.
Although the church at that time made
efforts to work reform inside her own
organization it proved failure
Vain chimeral Search history In vain

The parks / have reference to are Cen

Each of these places appears to have

do not blame the men for this
state of affairs, for they may be igno-

benefit of the children that these build
ines are intended, and the children are
the majority of the visitors at the
parks, but the mothers must accom-
pany their children to these places,
and the fathers, who have the power to
remedy the evil remain Ignorant on
the subject. These places are breeding

GOOD ENOUGH FOR WRITER

WHITTIER, July 5.-IEditor Herald I:
Now comes Julius Scheltema with his
exceptions and interrogatories. He OBJ
jects to my statement, Through the
atonement by Christ man may have
forgiveness for his past sins" The
Bible says (Col. 1:1D: I'm whom we
have redemption through his blood,
even for forgiveness of sins"
He asks, IF he forgives one child
and not another, would he not then be
arbitrary" If the United States gov
ernment forgave those who, after the
rebellion, took the oath of allegiance,
and refused forgiveness to those who
refused to do so, but remained in re-
bellion, did this constitute the govern
ment arbitrary and despotic? God

If l deny the law of evolution. be-
lieVe in the law of progress, but there
is no proof adequate to bridge the
awful chasm between rational man and
irrational brute creation. 1t is no
more than a hypothesis. There is no
proof that man has improved physic-
ally, mentally or morally in the last
5000 years When Mr.. S. furnishes the
missing link I will admit his evolu-
tionary speculation.
Until then I prefer to look back to
an ancestry created in the image of
God: he may elect to have Mr.. Baboon
if he chooses. He then assumes that
eating the forbidden fruit was the
awakening of morality and finds
ground for felicitation in the fall. Man
would not have been like the brutes
had he not fallen, but rather like
Jesus, who never sinned.
