EVERYDAY RELIGION.

When all is said and done at last and creeds have warred with creeds. When men have coined new terms to clear the ground Of verbal weeds. When systems change and doctrines clash and some put off the old To don new faiths that seem to them a clearer light to hold; Although it may be silly. vet it's back for you and me To the everyday religion that was taught at mothers knee. The new fads have their beauty. and we'll grounded thought may bring A comfort to believers who enlist be- heath their wing: The ologies and isms and the abstract and the new For those who seek adventure in soul- comforting may do; But there's nothing quite so filling in aught that l can see Like the everyday religion that We learned at mothers knee. Some criticise the Heaven of the Bible. and some smell A little too much birthstone in the old time Bible hell; This one thinks creation wasn't scien- tific quite. And this ones half convinced that he has seen another light. But when they've passed opinions. and the choice is left to me. Mines the everyday religion that we learned al mothers knee. Just plain and sweet and simple with it's creed of faith and trust. In golden rules of brotherhood. in life beyond the dust In joy and song eternal, if in this life we've seen fit To obey the ten commandments s-and that's all there is to il: No fancy friIl or trimming: but it's good enough for me The everyday religion that we learned at mothers knee.

The Latest Tablets From Nippur.

The BabylOnian expedition of the University Of Pennsylvania has brought to light within a few years more facts confirmatory of Biblical history than had been gathered by all other scholars in medorn times, and for this reason new announcements from the university are always await ed with interest by students of the the press of the university-the fifth volume of the records of the Baby lonian expedition-deals with one Of the most important discoveries yet made IL details the finding of baked clay tablets at the buried city of Nippur. which give a new story of Noahs flood. The age of the tablets is fixed at 2l00 B. C.. or just 5000 years ago This is 1000 years older than any other tablet reference to the flood yet found. The age of these pieces of clay is more clearly appre- ciated when it is understood that the writing was done some 200 years be- fore Abraham went out from the peo- pie of UT. The writing itself was done by these people of Ur." whose very existence has been denied by some historians.
 Professor Hilprecht. whose trans lations of the sundry Nippur tablets found during the past decade have marked him as the most expert scholar of the world in deciphering the forgotten languages of the period which preceded Abraham and Jewish history, reports that these latest tab lets confirm with remarkable close ness the Biblical history of the flood Even the errors in the translation of the Bible from the Hebrew to English mark the striking similarity of the Nippur story of the deluge and that of the ancient Hebrews For ex- amjle he points out that the word which the translators of later times rendered window and which ap pears in late versions IS window, really meant roof in the old Hebrew. Where our Bible says "A window shalt thou make to the ark it should have read by correct translation, "A roof shalt thou make to the ark. The tahlet story of the deluge AS translated by Professor Hilprecht con- tains this: The Lord of the Gods says: With a strong deck Cor roof) cover" the ark.
 Professor Hilprecht's studies Of the Nippur tablets have convinced him that not only were the people Of UT" a real people, but Abraham a very real person.

The Retiring President Of :he Water
 Users.

While it would have greatly pleased a very large number of people if the Hon. B. A Fowler had consented to he a candidate once more for the presidency of the Salt River Valley Water Users association, his declina- ton to make the race should provoke no criticism of him-it was a ques- ton for him alone to decide. No doubt he was prompted to decide the question in the negative because of the development of an active support MT. Fowler naturally felt that if his ten years record of splendid achieve ment in behalf of the valley did not speak for itself it was not up to" him to make an aggressive campaign for the retention of the presidency Of the association.
 Since he is out of the race. and since a passing mention of some Of the things he has done for this com munlty cannot now De ulsCOuhleu dS campaign material" it is timely and worth while to say that the services of Benjamin A Fowler to this valley have been of value beyond the possi- bility of realization by any citizen who has not kept books on his work. At a time when the rest of us looked upon federal irrigation" as mere dream of impractical enthusiasts, and too chimerical for serious considera- ton, MT. Fowler took up the cause with an energy and enthusiasm which was infectious. At his own expense he made trip after trip to Washing ion, and with MT. George H. Maxwell and little band of ''cranks,' as they were then regarded, he pounded into congressmen the notion of federal rec lamation of the arid lands. It is safe tn say that in one way and another. counting direct expenditure from his own pocket and the free gift of his time in the cause, il has cost him
