STRONG MUST HELP THE WEAK

we, then, that are strong ought to bear
the infirmities OF the weak and not to
please ourselves" said Rev. Leonard Groh.
pastor OF st. Marks English Lutheran
church, Sunday morning. He quoted the
passage from the first verse OF the fif-
teenth chapter of Romans.
This is an excellent lesson for the Lenten
period" continued the speaker. 1T is a
lesson in self-control, emphasizing the fact
that we must not live for ourselves alone,
but that we should help others.
In the procession Of life do we not hear
of one soldier helping another that Is
wounded or Is lame? The strong soldier
aids the weak one In the long, hard march.
So 1t should be with us; the strong should
aid the weak in remaining in the RANKS.
We are members Of a Christian army and
our help should extend 10 all men.
AT this ~juncture you may ask, Who are
the strong?' First of all let me say that
those are strong who enjoy the full. free
liberty Of God, those who enjoy the full
blessings Of creation. Physically II is an
easy matter to determine who OF us are
strong. We measure this strength by mus
cular prowess. The question OF moral
strength is another thing.
Moral strength In mar is the character
OF steadfastness. 1t is principle. Those
who are morally strong are calm and gen
tie and immovable, and abound In the
labors OF the Lord. Was not our Divine
Savior the most gentle Of all the Sons OF

or imagine-we give a fresh impetus to the
courage that thus comes into play. On the
other hand, whatever courage we naturally
possess may be weakened by disuse. To
yield to Incidence or fear. or evil persuas-
ion, is to forego all hope of heroism. Self
control soon becomes impossible, and the
man is buffeted about, the slave OF cir
cumstances. Moral weakness is the source
of most of the evil in human life.
To an Independent thinker 1t is essential
that one -shonld-not become welded 10th
opinions of any one school of philosophy
or any system of ethics to the exclusion of
all others, but one should be an earnest
seeker after truth only. No sound c%onclus-
ions can be built upon erroneous premises,
the foundation must be stable.
Let the Independent thinker, therefore,
guard his mind constantly against error
and, most of all, against the tendency for
reasons of policy to call right wrong or
wrong right, and thereby scar and callos
those functions of the mind which the
Creator intended as a guide to the clear
and independent thinker in forming correct
conclusions.
Mind Power Cannot BE Abused.
The delicate mechanism of the thinking
powers can no more be abused, than can
tho mechanism Of the body, without detrl-
ment to it's after efficiency and consequent
deterioration. Permit me to summarize
then what is essential to him who desires
to become an independent thinker and pos
sess a clear mind which shall at all times
be able to distinguish truth from false
hood, right from wrong.
Il. A thorough and comprehensive knowl-
edge of the character and teachings of
Jesus Christ.
20. Sufficient acquaintance with the vari-
Gus departments of natural science and in
particular with the history and develop
ment of the race.
- Sufficient acuteness and clearness Of
judgment to draw by induction and de-
duction the necessary logical consequences
that flow from such empirical knowledge.
-. Sufficient moral courage to maintain
his views no matter now novel they may
appear to others, against the attacks Of
those who are welded to or profit by per-
petrating existing untruths or wrongs.
IS. Sufficient strength of mind TO free him

With Bates the play must stand or fall.

the charm which otherwise the production

That Bates is himself a Rentlemyn and
besides, a lover and protector OF Marian

The villainy of Morgan, as Mr.. Radford

KANSAS CITY, MO.-When Willie
N Boy got married he bought his
wife flowers, of course. And after the
wedding Mr.. Willie Boy naturally de-
cided to preserve the flowers to look
at for all time by picking them in
alcohol. That was all rlght-it didn't
cost much. just 81 or S3-but there
was a 700-mile trip before Mr.. and
Mrs. Willie Boy got home.
At first they decided they'd pack
the treasure in the brass jardiniere

bottom of one Of the trunks. Then
Emaline-that's her first name-re-
membered that among other things it

ried, and that there was a 26-inch will

speak of a pretty coat, a lavender
gown, few more hats, a couple of
hundred doodads or some more
clothes. So the natural consequence
came. Willie Boy carried the remains.

after the plants food has been
made in the green leaves. what is
done with it?" This is the natural
question which students of plant life
ask themselves. Careful investiga-
ton shows that some is variously
changed and used In the leaves them
selves, some is carried to other parts
of the plant where 1t is needed for
the production of energy and the
building up of new cells, and the
surplus is stored away for the future
needs OF the plants. The place and
manner of storage differ widely in diff
ferent plants. Sometimes the surplus
is accumulated in the form of various
sugars, very often as starch and less
frequently as mucilage similar in COM
position to starch or some proteid
compounds.
There are difficulties encountered in
storing this surplus food just where it
Is made. 1t may so obstruct the cells
of the leaf that food making is hinder
ed and leaves are usually rather
small so they can contain only a small
reserve. Besides many plants retain
their leaves for a few months only,
when they fall TO the ground TO be
replaced by others when another grow
ing season arrives, hence reservoirs of
food are usually larger and more per-
manent organs. Small amounts of
starch and sugar are usually kept in

Place the bulb in a glass of water and,
using the food stored in the leaves,
the buds will expand into beautiful
flowers.
An excellent example of thick leaves
producing a food storehouse is found
in the American century plant, Agave
Americana, found most abundantly in
the warm regions of southern United
States and the arier parts of Mexico
and Central America. AS public parks
and greenhouses have been multi
piled, century plants have become IA
miliar objects in many parts of the
country. Found in hot dry countries
they have successfully solved the prob
lem of obtaining plenty of sunlight
without exposing too much leaf sur
face to the drying winds of the desert.
Their leaves are long and thick, ar
ranged in loose rosette and covered
with an exceedingly thick epidermis.
In these thick leaves large quantities
of sugar and mucilage are stored.
Century plants are long-lived but
seldom reach the hundred years that
their names would suggest. The early
years of their life are devoted to the
task of making and storing an accumu-
lation of food TO be expended I'm the
spectacular closing year of their ex-
istence. In the warm climate of Mex
leo and Central America, this task is
