HARD QUESTION TO ANSWER

The following story which leaked

The life and morals of the student, in
sisting merely on the rule, keep a
good scholarship stand and be regular
in attendance, still fragrant cases of
misconduct are summarily disposed
of. The student in question had been

rather poor reputation and there was
a question of dismissal. Lest he be

Determining Each Mans Faith.

Every life will have it's religion ac-
cording to it's development. 1t is folly
to look for uniformity in faith until
you have uniformity in the faithful,
until all minds are alike the things
those minds can see must vary. The
religion of the man who thinks in the
terms of the laws of a universe must
be different from that of the one who
cannot think beyond his dinner pail or
his back yard.
If religion is the life of ideals, the
power within us that pushes out and
on toward the realization in ourselves
and our conditions of the best we
know and hope for, then each mans
faith will be determined by his vision
and his knowledge; every individual
creed will be conditioned by the indi-
viduals stage of culture.
It is folly for the trained mind to
seek satisfaction in the ideals whose
bounds are set by the unframed mind,
Just as it equally is foolish for him to
mock at the vision that cheers the
lowlier life. Nearly all the supposed
difficulties between science and reli-
gion arise from the attempt to force
to a common viewpoint in religious
minds that dwell almost a whole uni.
verse apart in all the rest Of their
thinking.

BILLS AFFECTION.


Merrill E. Gates, secretary Of the

board is doing to wipe out the tuber-
culosis scourge which at one time
threatened to make the American In

But the Indian" said Mr.. Gates,

He is shockingly ignorant there. In
fact, he is as ignorant as an old farm

Obedience.

Prompt and unquestioning obedi-
ence is the corner stone of the foun-
dation of success in life. No man can
give orders properly who has not
learned to take them, and save he
serve, no man may rule" 1t will be
found that the men who have won
their way to positions of power and
responsibility have invariably been
the men who did not reason or argue
or even respectfully represent" but
who promptly did as they were COM
manded without questioning. 1t Is
the large man, not the little man, who
recognizes a superior authority.

Sc

True piety finds expression in
heroic deeds.
The heart which beats true
with God fears not in the pres
ence of the power of wicked
ness.
A beautiful physique and a
beautiful heart form a combina-
ton which can work nightly
for God among men.
Too often it Is true that beauty
proves a pitfaIl and a snare to
its possessor.
1t is a saying that "she is
too pretty to be good" and "She
is too good to be pretty"
But the commonest face and
form becomes beautiful in the
reflected light of the beautiful
deeds of heart and life.
However, vanity, frivoIity and
W~ickedness are not necessary
coroIlaries of beauty of face and
form.
Adown history's pages have
come the records of beautiful
women who have lived beauti-
fully and wrought magnificent
Iy, heroicalIy.
Among such is this fair Jew
ish widow, Judith.
The grace and beauty of the
visible were but the beautiful
setting for the purity of heart
and lofty ideals of the life
within.
She knew God and delighted
to serve him, and the beauty
and grace with which God had
endowed her, instead of turn
ing her heart from him, became
the blessed instrument of deliv-,
erance to her beloved city.
Whether the story is his
tory or only fiction, this fact re-
mains that womanhood is here
exalted, and Judith becomes the
expression of all that is purest,
most sublime and heroic.
1t is such characters as this
that the world needs in every
age. Judith shines like a rare
gem from out a dark back
ground. Blessed is her men,
Dry. And blessed is the men,
Dry of every true woman who in
the hour of great need, whether
in the national life or the life of
the home, rises heroicaIIy and
dedicates her all for the help
and salvation of others.
Beauty that is only skin deep
is perilous. Beauty which
reaches to the inner heart and
life is the beauty which proves
a benediction upon the world.
Truly, the value of a good
woman is far above rubies."

SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure in cuticura.

"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks l took him
to the doctor but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in.
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark Of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But l found a remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-.
ment. The result was almost mag
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slight
est symptom of it since he was cured.
