ne. Farrar on the Judgments Of God

It is customary to quote Farrar as
the,great exponent Of the larger hope,
In spite of all that he has said about
the wrath and anger Of God against
sin. Before his death, however, IL IS
said that he gave utterance to the FOL,
lowing remarks in the presence OF
the Cambridge students:
us there, then, no hell mere, ma.
we be so very certain there VIII
be none hereafter? Nay, seeing that
Indignation and wrath, tribulatton
and anguish fail upon every soul OF
man that doeth evil; seeing that the
Scriptures from the beginning to end,
and whole books of them, blaze ike
the walls Of Belshazzer's palace with
messages of doom; seeing that Goa
declared His wrath against sin as
clearly as though He had engraven It
in the sun or written it in the stars
upon the midnight sky this pre-
sumptuous ease about the after life,
his growing Indifference to the
thoughts of the future punishment.
this philosophy, which is so treacner-
Gus and so timid, seems to me, ana y
say it deliberately, at once an aoerra-
ton of the intellect and an infaruar
ton of the will.
"Ah, better, surely, that a sinner
should tremble with agony, as the
leaves of the aspen shudder in the
late autumnal wind, than that ne
should thus falsely presume that ne
knows more of God than God Himself
has taught him, and seeing nat
wrath is written in Scriptures against
his way of life, should hope that 1t IS
not wrath, but mercy, and so rush
mon the bosses of the Almighty'9

battle."-Rev. T. M. Fottergell, IN

Quaint Little Clock.

An odd little clock is in the form Of
a crystal ball suspended by a leather
strap to the top of a stirrup iron.
The iron, which is really Of silver
or gunmetal, stands on the desk or
dresser on the metal base on which
the foot rests when n rides, and
the clock swings from its tiny leather
strap.
This would make an ideal gift for
the girl who rides and drives and
loves horses.-New York Times.

A Dream,

I had a peculiar dream last night.
I dreamed that I saw Jesus. I did
not see Him as Daniel did, coming
with "the clouds of Heaven" nor as
Stephen saw Him, standing on the
right hand of God" l dwelt upon
His coming glory in my sermons last
Sunday; but in my dream last night
I saw no royal throne, no angelic at
tendants. 1t was not the Christ tri-
umphant that I saw in my dream,
but what seemed to be a prisoner;
and yet that prisoner was Jesus. He
was sick and lying on a sort of cot.
His eyes were closed, and from His
lips groans were escaping as though
He we're suffering. I looked on His
up-turned face as He lay there. So
pure it was I stopped over and kissed
Him. 49,.
When I awoke these words came
to me: "Inasmueh as ye have done
1t unto one of the least Of these MY
brethren, we have done it unto Me-
and these words also: 81 was sick
and in prison and ye visited Me.
| And the negative side Of the question
came to me also: "Inasmuch as ye
did it not" and I'VE visited Me
not" I do not think I slept much
after that, but I kept running these
things over in my mind.
It was a dream, and yet some
dreams have a lesson in them, ana
this was one; and may I never forget
the lesson that it taught: "lnasmuch
as ye have done 1t unto n OF the
least of these My brethren, ye have
done it unto Me-"
We may not see Jesus sick and In
prison as I saw Him in my dream;
and yet to some He will say when He
sits upon the throne of His glory:
IT was an hungered and ye gave Me
meat; I was a stranger and We tooke
Me in; naked and We clothed Me; y
was sick and ye visited Me; l was ID
prison and We came unto Me-"
Yes. 1.-The Son Of man shall come
In His glory" but while we wait for
that glad day let US not forget that
there are those to whom we may min.
lister. And if we could but feel that
in ministering even unto the least
of these My brethren" we minister
unto Him, how willingly would the
service be rendered, and how often
would the heart overflow with JOY
at the thought Of doing something
for Him.-Linden j.. Carter, IN

If we love mar as God would have
us to do, our conduct toward them
will be just what God would AVE

A Grave Controversy

Bradley, England, q hamlet too small for the map, is large enough to entertain religious controversy. Al though so small, the settlement raised &, 300 to provide new cemetery. Ev- erybody agreed that half the space should be allotted to members of the Established church and half to Non comformists. But at that point discus sion began to rage, and when at length a government inquiry was called for and held it proved that the Non-eom- formists demanded fence between the two divisions. Churchmen sat tight and let the government inspector do the talking, and he refused to sanction the fence. He would not concede that division because he did not wish to con fuse Gabriel as to which side he should blow his trumpet on the resurrection morning.

Reflections of q Bachelor Girl
By Maude Marie

X wise woman will take a lover at his word because that is probably all she will ever get from him.
 Being in love means merely spending half your time doing foolish things which you are perfectly aware that you will spend the oth- CT half regretting.
 Of course, second marriages are happier than first marriages; you've got to try being married to something, just as you've got to try two or three grades of coffee or varieties of soup before you can tell just what appeals to your taste.
 A divorce, like electricity, steam heat, and other modern improvements may be- ex- pensive in the beginning, but it saves a man lots of money in the end.
 Why won't man understand that a woman doesn't necessarily carry orgnette for the sake of her eyes-but for the sake of other peoples eyes.
 A mans idea of chivarous exit from a Irritation is to make woman believe that the reason he is going to stop making love to her is because he loves her too much. y
 It's funny how soul mate' never seems to happen around until after you are mar ried to somebody else.
 The size of girls shoe and the brand of her sachet seem to be much more important to man in his selection of wife than the size of her brain and the brand of her char acter.
 Marriage is the sentimental dope with which we stimulate ourselves, but which eventually always stops the action of the heart and irritates the nerves.
 In love affair, it is the first kiss which embarasses woman, the last which embar- rasSeS a man.

Of Passing Interest
Caring for Battlenelds

It appears that we take better care of our battlefelds in the United States than they do in Europe. Gettysburg is marked with monuments, and the wis itor has vivid impression of that con fict But the field of Waterloo is rap idly being diyested of it's interesting features An American tourist in Brus- sels states the houses which sheltered men who helped to make history there, are being torn down, the roads and paths are being obliterated, and soon there will be nothing left to remind one of Napoleon last stand but the great mount, capped by the Waterloo lion. The museum, where all the bat tlefied trophies are on view-uniforms, arms, drawings, and pictures-was new CT pretentious institution, but no visitor failed to look with interest at the many exhibits behind the glass doors. This also is to be dismantled, and the articles which have been care fully kept for years will be distributed among the provincial museums of Bel gium, where, as individual exhibits, they will lose much in value.

Varied Pleas for Divorce.

Recent cases in divorce courts illus trate the wide variety of causes to which are attributed the lack of matri- monial bliss. One husband complained that his wife changed the lock of the front door compelling him to stay out all night. The same lady was in the habit of saying to the baby: ''I don t like your father one bit, and I wish he would stay away" Her defense, potently reflection of masculine tyranny, was that if she met her hus- band in the house, he would make her shine his shoes. Another woman sought separation because the husband would not kiss her; while with still another wife the grievance was that her husband did not kiss her enough
 The right average must have been diff ficult for judicial decision. Another agreement concerning her conduct, any violation of which incurred a fine of kisses. The punishment had become excessive, but she knew the penalty of violation. The complaint against a husband in New Jersey was that he would not engage in conversation. He encountered every verbal advance with silence. A reminder of q Dickens char 'acter was the lady who neglected house hold duties because of the heather in Borneo. It was a Virginian husband who objected because his wife, pro fessionaI snake charmer, insisted upon having her pets in bed to keep them warm. A St. Louis wife complained that her husband restricted the cost of the daily menu to l5 cenis. His defense was that the king of England had made frugality fashionable.

 ment once made by Brigham Young During a proselyting trip in the east,
 he ran across bargain in green paint.
 There were tons and vats of it, as cheap as dirt. The apostle bought it up and shipped it to Salt Lake City. When he reached home he encountered angry wives. Green paint instead of millinerya The ideal But the head of the household bade them be of good cheer. He promptly went to the En
 dowment house, and as promptly re
 eeived revelation requiring the faith ful to paint their doors and window blinds and fences bright green within twenty-four hours or be struck dead in their tracks Vast was the uproar in Mormondom, for green paint seemed a thing not to be had in a iiffy. Then arose Bringham to save the day. He announced that the necessary pigment could be obtained at the pontifical paint shop for not more than twenty times the price he had paid for it. Thus did he convert revelation into revenue

Texas Restores Its Credit

Texas voters have adopted an amend ment to the state constitution which validates school district bonds amount ing to more than $3,000,000, which the supreme court had declared to be il- legal. The bonds had been bought in good faith and the proceeds had been used In all three amendments were adopted. Besides the one mentioned, another makes lawful the practice of organizing school districts and taking in territory in more than one county, which means that more of such dis tricts will be organized and have bonds for sale. The third will permit towns of 5000 CT more inhabitants to or ganize under special charters, 10000 now being the minimum limit. The adoption of this provision means that towns of 5000 to 10000 may now re- ceive legislative authority to issue larger amounts of bonds than was per missible under the general law, in or der that necessary public improve ments may be made.

KISSES AND COSTS

d the complainant's marital preserves and pilfer- ed kiss from his wife West Philadelphia dentist is suing him for $4,000 Which brings up the point that with all the tendency of this age toward definiteness, that branch of human activity known as osculation has never yet been competenty price-marked.
 Men are captious sort and fly easily off the handle when the old injunction about loving ones neighbor as oneself is applied too liter ally Consequently the courts of law have ire quently been asked to place a price on kiss
 and without proper authority ap-
 proprated by a party of the third part. The gentlemen of the ermine have had little success
 with the job They have discovered kisses
 worth $l0 and they have come across kisses
 worth many thousand of dollars. As result largely of that very fact, it has come to be said
 of them that they have little business ability.
 At any rate, the osculatory function has con
 tinued to amble up and down the gamut of
 monetary values with little regard for a per manent abode.
 It is a distressing situation and one to which the attention of educators and thinkers should lbe firmly rivited. If men must kiss where they must not, why, then let us have an understand ing about the matter and eliminate this hag |gling after the thing is done. In a tentative way we already have at our command certain facts gleaned from the history of osculation and jurisprudence which could be directed to- ward the subject. It seems evident that long soft kiss is valued more highly than a short, Icrisp one. In other words, the price in the bill of complaint varies directly with the square of the duration of contact. Also, the less the will ingness the greater the damages. That is to say, the cost varies inversey as a high power of the willingness. A further analysis of the cause and effect of kiss would furnish other factors. Supplying an empirical term to rep resent the personality of the aggrieved hus- band, the equation could be set up in the nu-
 merator and denominator, a table of answers
 could be placed in the back of the book, and all the judge would have to do would be to page over and get the verdict.
 From such a decision there could be no ap- peal, since mathematics in the lower court would be the same as mathematics in the upper. Justice could be run on more economical basis, and husband wife, and extra man would know exactly where they stood
