QUEER INDIAN BELIEFS.
The Five Worlds Of the Bella Coda
Sun Worshipers.

There is an odd feature in the theol-
ogy of the small Indian tribe of the
Bella Coda which inhabit British Co
lumbia in about latitude %. They be-
lievc that there are five worlds. one
above the other. and the middle one is
our own world. the earth Above it
are two heavens. and under it are two
underworlds. In the upper heaven is
the supreme deity. who is Il woman,
and she doesn't NEEDLE much with the
affairs in the second world below her.
The zenith is the center of the lower
heaven. and here is the house OF the
rest Of the deities.
Our own earth is believed to be an
island swimming in the ocean. The
first underworld from the earth is in
habited by ghosts. who can return,
when they wish, to heaven. from which
place they may be sent down to our
earth. If then they misbehave again
they are cast into the lower Of the un-
derworldS, and from this bourn no
ghostly traveller returns.
The Bella Coda are sun worshipers.
for Senex, the sun, the master Of the
house of gods. who is called the father
and the sacred one. is the only deity
to whom the tribe pray. Each family
Of the Bella Coda has its own tradi-
tons and its own form of the cur
rent traditions. so that in the mytholo-
gy Of the tribe there are countless con-
tradictions. When any one not men,
Der Of 4 clan tries to tell tradition
which does not belong to his clan it
is like a white man trying to tell an
others joke-he is considered as ap-
propriating the property right which
does not belong to him.

garden of Eden. In any case it is one

bush. a shrub, vegetable or a herb,
but herbaceous plant with the status
of tree. Although it sometimes at
tains a height OF thirty feet. there is
no woody fiber in any part of its struc-
ture. and the punches growing on the
dwarf banana plant are often heavier
than the stalk which supports them.
No other plant gives such a quantity
of food TO the acre as the banana. 1t

Saved by Firefiies.

The gigantic tropical fireflies which
swarm in the forests and canebrakes
of most of the low. lying West Indian
islands once proved the salvation Of
the city Of Santo Domingo. A body Of
buccaneers. headed by the notorious
Thomas Cavendish. had laid all their
plans for descent upon the place. in
tending to massacre the inhabitants
and carry away all the treasure they
conveniently could. and had actually
put off their boats for that purpose
AS they approached the land, however.
rowing with muftied oars, they were
greatly surprised to see an infinite
number of moving lights in the woods
which fringed the bayou up which
they had to proceed, and, concluding
that the Spaniards knew of their APP
proach. they put about and regained
their ship without attempting to land.

Topic-Patient fsithfulness that Wins

by Rev. Sherman H. Doyle, D. D.
The book Of Revelation Is divided
into seven parts, each one Of which is
subdivide ed seven times. The first gen
eral division is that of9the churches,
Of which there are seven, and each one
is described just as they were In
Johns time, and yet typical Of the
churches in all ages. Most churches
today can find in one of them a de-
scription Of itself. In this review of
seven typical churches Christ finds
none altogether good and none alto
gether bad. He praises the good, de-
nounces the eg and gives warnings
against the e. 6tinuance Of the evil
The letters are addressed to the IAN

showing the high estimation Of the
pastoral Office that Christ Himself
possessed, position which certain
classes Of people, who are trying al
most constantly to belittle the Chris
tan ministry, might well observe and

The circumstances in which the
churches Of Johns day found them

to them to emphasize patient faith

A Hearteninq Word.

A Minnesota pastor says: glory in
Christian EndeavOr work, upon which
God has set His seal.
l remember when a lad Of fifteen in
my English home yielding my heart to
God and yearning for the other young
people of our church and community
for whom no special effort of any kind,
aside from the Sunday school, was be-
ing made.
Within three weeks had banded six
Of my comrades into young peoples
society. The number grew with every
weekly meeting. There were CONVEX
sions, and in time we heard OF the
American organization known as the
Christian Endeavor and at once added
the name Christian Endeavor to that
of our society.
From that society preachers Of the
gospel have come. The society is now
twenty-one years old, but is ever green
and strong.
1t has been my plan as pastor in
this country to give a Sabbath evening
to the installation of the new Chris
tian Endeavor officers in the presence
Of the whole church and congregation,
knowing full we'll the increased inter-
est that this will arouse on the part OF
the church in Christian Endeavor
work
1 once had an elder Il am Presby-
terisn who was very skeptical about
giving a whole valuable Sunday even
ing to such a procedure, but after the
meeting he said: 1T was grand. That
was good for the church to witness"

country, the woodland. This kind of
work is missionary in deed as we'll as
in name, and for that reason I chose

Eternal lie as Il crown. i he same
promise holds good to us. The Chris
tan life today is not a pathway of
perfect peace There are still trials
and tribulations to be endured and
things to suffer, but if we, too. are
faithful and patient in our faithful

MISS KNAPP WRITES,

Annie NJ. Knapp in writing for the
Indianapolis News has an excellent
article concerning Indiana Federation
of Clubs. She says in part:
In the promotion OF culture in In
diana and Indiana Federation of clubs
is doing splendid work along many
lines.
Its various standing committees are
working on lines which cover art. lit
erature, civics, education, the preser-
walton of forests and waterways,
health. household economics and food
sanitation, industrial and child labor.
needed legislation. music. school stuff
rage, library extension and many 9th
err needs where woman's influence and
efforts do effective service. No depart
ment of the declarations work is more
timely or far reaching in its influence
than that undertaken by the library
extension committee.
This committee. believing with Car
lyle that the true university is "a
collection of books has for its pur-
pose the organization of public librar
les in the cities and larger towns. and
the establishing of reading and rest
rooms in towns not yet ready for pub
lie libraries. 1t also endeavors to en-
list the support of the women of rural
districts in arOusing interest in the
fact that a library is as much part of
the educational system of commun-
ity as the public school. 1t urges the
extension of library privileges to
whole townships. and helps to create
more demands for the travelling librar-
les sent out by the state library com
mission and for the use of individual
books sent out by the state library.

among the vicious ones Of 'the sub
merged tenth" He has /antagonized
Tamnlany, has no friends in the re-
publican machine, asks no favors Of the
newspapers, and withal is today the
most popular mayor New York has had
for half century.
Why? Simply because the big ma
jority sees in him an honest man. His
standing in New Pork City is exactly
the position Roosevelt occupies the ma
ton over. And the wonder is more
public men do not see the many such
paths of honor open to them. Such
men as Roosevelt and Gaynor make
mistakes, but the public forgives. We
know the motives that actuate them
and make allowance. There was TING
perhaps in the history of this country
when. the polite rather than the prac-
tice man was needed at the head of af-
fairs but not so today. This more
than any one thing explains the failure
of the Taft administration. To bring it
closer home our present governor can
be classed among the polite, hence the
demand for man OF deeds and acts.
We. as a nation. have "harked back to
