SCIENCE AND FAITH.

I'm your faith supply virtue and III

Is 1t true that the greater the knowl-
edge the less the religious interest?
Are these two persons, the man whose
zeal for religion is equaled by his big
otry and ignorance, and the other IN
whom scientific study has dwarfed spir-
itual sensibility, fair types by which
to judge the relatians of religion and
knowledge?
Is intelligence incompatible with
real piety? VIII the growth OF knowl.
edge bring about the dissolution Of re-
ligion? Is the life of religious aspira-
tons and feelings out of date In a
scientific age such as we are constant
ly reminded that this one is to-day?
Science has overcome superstition; Is
faith so bound up with superstition
that it, too, must go?
With honest people the inquiry is so
important that they can afford to neg
lect the somewhat large number OF per
sons who use a thin smatterlng of
knowledge and a superficial acIuaint-
ance with science as an excuse for d.
vorce from all moral obligations, Just
as it also permits one or ignore those
who continue to confound faith with
willful blindness.
We can be sure of one thing. at
least; that, no matter what our feel
ings, theories, or ideals may be, we
cannot turn our backs on the great
world of fact as it is laid before us.
The faith that fights facts Is commit
ting suicide. Appeals to our fears can
not to-day make the facts less real to
us, and we know that by them we will
have to stand or fall.
If you stop to think about It, ther,
is striking significance in the fact
that this question has arisen. Is there

question: Can any other mind fully

Every life will have its religion ac-

Ten Days Ride at Hard Gallop on a Gun
Carriage.

In times of peril in Persia the medical
missions have proved TO be the safest
places not only for Europeans but also
for the Persians themselves. DR.. Emme-
line Stuart, niece of the veteran Bishop
Stuart, had a remarkable story TO tell of

authorities, and she accepted Il. TO find

carriage formed her canopy at night.

treasured the committee as to the abso-
lutte safety of the missionaries during
this period of unrest by saying that the

LIGHT BOOZE.

A minister's wife had quite a tussle
with coffee and her experience is inter
esting. She says
During the two years Of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty,
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing. when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and 1t was quite natural that
should want a good, hot cup Of coffee
about that time 1t stimulated me and
could keep awake better.
After three or four years Of coffee
drinking became a nervous wreck and
thought that l simply could not live
without my coffee All this time was
subject to frequent bilious attacks,
sometimes so severe as to keep me in
bed for several days
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee, for he
feared that it had already hurt me al
most beyond repair, 80 l resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit

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 in
dividuars stage of culture.
II is folly for the trained mind TO
seek satisfaction in the ideals whose
bounds are set by the unframed mind,
just as 1t equally is foolish for him to
mock at the vision that cheers the
lowlier life. Nearly all the supposed
difficulties between science and relig-
ion arise from the attempt to force to
common viewpoint in religious minds
that dwell almost a whole universe
apart in all the rest of their think
ing.
The avenues to the Most High are
many. There Is a way somewhere
from every life and never precisely
the same way for any two lives. The
way begins at just the level on which
the life Is found. Because religion is
the way from our present selves to
that ideal and complete social self in
every life the religion depends, after
all, on the self

Mr.. Silver's specimen is one of few
that have ever been brought TO this
country, and perhaps the finest. At first
appearance it seems to be tough
gnarled knot of a tree which has been
splintered, but closer examination dis
closes the fact that it has petals of wood
and bark and the rough outlines of a
flower. The petals, concave in form, are
arranged much like the petals of a half
blown rose. Their inside surfaces are
covered with fine lines, which have the
delicacy of fine hand carving. The stem.
which is about a foot long, is of some
unusual wood, which is light and strong.
1t is covered with heavy bark. which
seems TO have been cracked by heat.
Both flowers and stem are dark brown
the color of weather beaten boughs-and
dry as finder. The flower grows on
tree of great size and strength. The
blossom measures about II inches
across

OXYGEN FOR ATHLETES.
Physician Says It's Use Would Help the

An English physician lecturing before
the London institute on the use of oxy

could supply it. The beat of the heart
and pulse was reduced and the blodd
pressure raised after inhaling oxygen.
He had induced two runners to expert
ment, and they overran their own rec
ords after taking oxygen. He thought
taking the gas before an athletic event
would lead to record breaking.
All athletes are exhausing their hearts

heart, he said, would be restored and
they would not suffer the i'll effects of
