Data received by professor Fox OF
the Chicago Northwestern university
from Harvard college indicate that the
johannesburg comet which is now
visible to observers is a stranger to
the solar system. The orbit of the
comet this information explains, is q
parabola The visitor has reached the
end of It's journey and it's course is
now away from the sun so that within
4 short time It will completely disap-
pear. Owing to the fact that the tafi
is in the form of cornucopia and
that the hollow end of IL is turned
toward the earth. the comet appears
to have two tails. This, the Harvard
astronomers say. is only an optical il
lusion. II is possible that the comets
orbit may be an extended ellipse. II
this is true. then its elliptical journey
is very long, for there are no records
of It ever having been seen from the
| earth before.

WHAT is THE MATTER

What is the matter with the church.
es? For several years there has beer
a growing belief that the Christian
church is losing its power, that Chris
tianity is on the decline, that fewer
men and women are entering the
church, and those that do are taking
less interest in its work. that religious

shadows of a former substance. Or
