Now we begin to see signs Of
TRANSPORTED woman-hood, giving it
self to this sacred work, that all man
kind may live, not unto themselves
but unto the great privilege of be-
ing where the lowest of creatures can
be transformed into the God stature
of being.
take 1t this is the work of women
to suffuse the earth with this new
and harmonious melody that grows
out OF more complete life, the life
not of chosen few; but for all. The
rhapsodies Of human existence have
not yet sounded In the heart Of man
kind because we, have felt that the
Joy OF existence springs too largely
from sensuous concept. In the new
vision we see that we are to change
the base of existence to more spirit
ual and mental plane. This cannot be
done very largely by legislation, but
rather by instilling into the conscious
ness OF mankind, the absolute ojoy Of
existence, when wisdom and love are
put into such practical operation that
It will clean out these dark places in
human thought and truth, love and
justice shall become the every day ex-
preston of life.
like to believe that women are
to be the bearers OF this supernal
message.

ABOUT HOMENIAKING

| 1t is told that recently, Mrs. Julia
! Ward Howe had a most prophetic Wis
ion. She saw men and women stand
ing shoulder to shoulder, engaged in
a desperate struggle. in order that
morality. intelligence and equal OPP
portunity might be the universal ex-
preston of life. She saw the realiza-
ton of her long cherished dream:
America the scene of a satisfying and
complete life.
If this world is ever to be the ex-
preston of peace on earth and good
will to men," we are to be the con-
Meeting link between the idea, and
the actual expression of this idea in
life. We are to link man to his des-
tiny and that destiny in all good, but
this cannot be until we discern that
in the soul of man, in life itself is
health holiness and happiness, and
this is not found in some far off
world. or in abstract ideas totally un-
related to our every day experience,
but rather in letting in that abund-
ance of practical knowledge through
our institutions, our home, and in
perfecting ourselves.
We are getting out of the belief
that mans days are short and full
of trouble and into the belief that
God S, creation is good and perfect
altogether" and man is SO to reflect
this infinite creation and spirit of love
in his everyday life, that he will turn
chaos into harmony, waste and DESC
lation into productiveness and hatred
into love. This sort of life is the
greatest heritage of all mankind.
Formerly we were old at forty, now
time is moving back and we are new

all.
This new concept gives evidence In
every direction, that life is the reali-
cation of opportunity and that we are
to be the bearers of this opportunity
to all mankind.
The schools are moving towards

SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL

. What is generally the real charac-
ter of those who will not support the
church because they do not like the
ministers?
What is the only way by which to
have peace among brethren in a
church or in community?
Verse 14.-If you know anything
against a fellow Christian what is
the right thing to do, ~ say nothing
about it; CD talk about it to others;
CD correct him in the presence of
others, or "a see him alone and in
| love tell him what you have to say?
Jesus went about lovingly helping
people, in their bodies, fiji their souls,
and circumstances; if you and l are
not doing that, have we right to
conclude that we are not followers of
Jesus?
Is it your duty, as Christian, to
take pains to comfort" everybody
with whom you come in contact, and
ii you are so doing, what is the effect
upon your own life?
Verse 15.-H my neighbor sets in
dog on my sheep, pulls down my
fences in the night, shoots my chick

constantly slandering me and my fam
lily, and will not pay me long stand
ing just debt, what would Jesus do if
he were l? (This question must
be answered in writing by members

Verse 16-It is easy, Paul, for you
to say, Rejoice evermore," but is it
practical for ordinary mortals, and if
so, how?
Verse 17-If man is really in
love, with God and his fellows, does
he not necessarily pray all the time,
either consciously or unconsciously?I
Is it necessary, or helpful, to have
set times for conscious prayer?
Verse 1S-Are we to be thankful
alike for pain and pleasure, for loss
and gain, for enemies and friends, if
we are 'in Christ Jesus?"
Is 1t not an actual fact, based on
the truest philosophy, that every sort
Of experience which comes to true
man, is in the highest possible sense,
for his good?
In the light of eternal existence, are
there any such things as accident,
calamity, misfortune, or even regret
table circumstances, in the life Of a
man of God?
Verse 19-Can any man retain the |
peace of God, who is not absolutely
obedient to the leadings of Gods Holy
Spirit?
Verse ~ - Prophesying here
means preaching, is there any sign in
these days that it is being despised?
Why should love for the preach |
ing of the gospel be cultivated?
Verse 21.-Why should we not as
Christians encourage the most abso-

search, and welcome the teaching of
true science?

been paid on the Pacific coast. AS an
example of the rapidity with which this
tree grows, it may be said that in the
counties of Los Angeles and San Diego
many of these trees planted only 70
wears ago have attained diameter
of five feet and height Of IT'S feet
Certainly such results as this are very
gratifying and give excellent promise
of an adequate timber supply for the
future if tree planting is carried out
on a sufficiently large scale. One OF
the gratifying things about the eu-
calyptus tree is the fact that it shows
the ability to grow rapidly upon waste
lands in this country where trees have
never grown before.

There has been a growing disposition

The common law and the statutes in

Of trusts by wills that are, to any con-

pcrpetuities. 1t is only by indulgence
of the state or nation that man may
make will, and if he makes one that

Wealth and Hardness.

The publicity that has attended the
out it's lessons to the American public.
1t will at least serve to emphasize
that human contentment and happi-
ness are not to be bought with money.
1t will serve also to call the attention
of American women to the fact that
| there are things in life vastly more
| worthy of attainment than mere vul-
gar and ostentatious display. 1t does
not follow by any means, that a wo-
man who pays from 500 to $500 each
for her gowns, with shoes, gloves,
stockings and hats to match, and who
wears them but once, presents any
more attractive appearance or wins
any larger measure of respect than
one who dresses with economy and
modesty. Money may buy service but
it cannot buy the confidence and es-
teen even of those who serve.
There are many people in this coun-
try who have risen from poverty to
affluence, and some of whom mistake
display and prcdigality for culture and
refinement. The general public, now
ever, never fails to make the distinc-
ton, and any one who would win and
hold the good opinion of those about
him must have first of all the capital
that consists of character, of charity,
of courtesy, of kindly and generous
dealing, of a sound common sense,
that gives just values to the affairs

pie. 1t merely enlarges their power

LETTING Posterity Pay.

There is a disposition in most COM
munities to let the rising generation
pay a part of the cost of permanent
| improvements In some cases they go
further permitting the citizens of today
to carry along the interest account and
posterity to pay the principal. There
| is an element of justice In this. Take
| it in the case of our own city. The men
who come after us will be born to better
| conditions than we were privileged to
enjoy. They will reap, in large meas
| ure. the advantages that come from
our labors and expenditures. They will
begin where we left off. If therefore
Of the debts we have incurred in
the march of progress, their herl-
tage in this respect will not diff
fer from ours, and if such obllga-
lions on the part of the community
are kept within reasonable bounds they
will have no more reason to complain
than we have had. AS it is with the
town, the city. and the county, so 1t is
with the State and the nation. In the
building of the great ship canal across
the Isthmus of Panama the United
States government is engaged in the
most stupendous work of physical en-
terprise ever undertaken in the history
Of man. The cost will be enormous. 1t
is not intended however that the citi-
zens of the present day and generation
shall foot this great bill. By far the
larger part of it will be left to poster
ity The canal is not to be built for a
day or a year, but for all time, and
those who come after us will secure
vastly greater advantages from it than
will be possible to the men of the pres
ent day and generation. For this rea-
son the citizens of the future may be
reasonably held to carry lions share
OF the cost of this great work. Up to
the present time the United States gov
erI,ment has issued bonds on account
of canal construction to the amount of
$4,000 600 There is clause in the
pending tariff bill which authorizes
the secretary of the Treasury to issue
additional canal bonds to the amount
of $i0O00,0U0. In all probability further
bonds will be issued on this account,
before the final completion of this
great waterway connecting the two
oceans, to the amount of $200,OOO,00O or
$500, 900 1t is already evident that
the cost of building the canal will con-
siderably exceed the original estimates,
having undertaken the work cannot
and will not turn back.

1t is evident that President Taft's
message to Congress. which was a
masterpiece of clear and cogent state
mcnt. has at least awaited to point out
the folly of rc-enacting an income tax
law while there is one already upon
the statutes which has never been re-
pealed, but which has been rendered
imperative by decision of the SUI
preme court. At the same time he
points out the fact that the govern
mcnt should have the power to levy
such Il tax. In view of what he has
said there is every reason to believe
that Congress will act upon his rec
ommcndation and submit constitu-
tional amendment that will establish
this right beyond all reach of contro-
versy.

The Planting Of Forest Trees.

| In the very general interest in and
discussion of the question of forest
preservation, the public has considered
chiefly, and almost exclusively, the
extent to which the forests are being
depleted and the Importance of more
resources to the end that future gen
erations may not be deprived of Il
timber supply, ard that the evils which
follow in the wake of the devastation
of a nations forests may be escaped
in this country. In one of his last
| messages to Congress, President
Roosevelt laid great stress upon the
| importance of caring for the forests
of the nation, and cited the deplora BILE
conditions in China, where nearly
everything resembling a tree, outside
of private gardens, long ago disap-
consequent soil erosion and the loss
of water supply which not only takes
| away an important source of power
| but becomes a serious handicap to ag-
| riculture.
Undoubtedly the science of forestry
is making great Roadway in this coun-
try, and, while we have not yet APP
preached the technical skill in the care
of our timber supplies which is exer-
ci3cd abroad, notably by Germany in the
| wonderful results it has attained in
the care of the Black Forest, the fact
| nevertheless remains that we are
| making substantial progress in that
direction. From time to time the
Journal has commented upon the large
extent to which tree planting is now
| being carried on in this country. The
passenger who rides along the Boston
and Maine railroad on his way to Bos-
ton will notice many large nurseries
| of white pine which are showing d
thrifty growth and must in time be-
come substantial source of profit.
| In other sections of the country tree
planting is being carried on in an even
| more extensive way.
| 1t has been found that the eucalyptus
| tree, a native of Australia, of which
| there are about $50 varieties, is the
| best adapted to this use, inasmuch as
| it grows with wonderful rapidity and
| is a practical wood for nearly all the
uses of commerce. The Atchison, To-
pcka & Santa Fe Railroad corporation
has planted 100000 eucalyptus trees
in San Diego county, California, and
will continue this work until it will
have in process of growth supply
of this timber in every way ample to
meet all it's needs for a future supply
of ties. Other railroads are doing the
same thing, notably the Southern Pa
cific, the San Pedro. the Los Angeles
and the Salt Lake systems. Not only
is the eucalyptus a very rapid grow
ing tree. but it is of excellent fibre
and exhibits wonderful ability to re-
sst the processes of decay. 1t is said
that in California and other parts of
the Southwest there are fully 10000 900
acres of land upon which this tree can
be grown. Some of the species of the
eucalyptus are especially suited to the
finest cabinet work. notably the red
lgum which has commonly been known
