ones own strength, and fixed on Him who
died that all might have life and peace
and joy in Him.
Once more. the quaint record of that
early Bible reading shows that 1t Is q
mistake to think that the Christian has
no chance to rejoice. Ezra told the peo-
pie to go home and eat and drink: SO God
shows the people today how to be happy
as they receive the good things Of daily
life. God wants all to enjoy themselves
in the best way. But 1t is impossible to
get the most enjoyment out OF Gods gifts
If one is content to keep them for himself.
He must be ready to share them with
others less fortunate than himself.

~ HE church is much like
W Lake Michigan. There
are times when terrible
storms rage, and the pillows
lash the shore, and the sail
ors seek the harbors, times
when winters ice locks it in
its grip and when all the
shores are dreary and desc
late. There are times when
we shrink back from it with
aversion or terror.
But then the storms pass
away, and the winters, and
the lake lies smooth and
smiling under the sun, and
over its surface floats a
mighty commerce, and yes
sells full of happy passengers
and merry excursionists 60
speeding over its beautiful
courses; and when the hot
days arrive the people from
the city centers, from the
towns, villages and farms
flock to its shores and bath
ing in its waters and breath
ing its fresh pure air get new
health and vigor for their
tasks I; and the great lake, in
spite of its storms and win
tiers, is always remembered
with JOY, lying there under
the skies mirroring the sun
and the stars, as it has for a
thousand years, a source of
blessing, sustenance and Joy
to all who know how to
use it.
So is the church. It has
its traitrous Judases, its. i'm
petuous and hot-tempered
Peters, its self-seeking sons
of Zebedee; it has its disputes
and divisions, its distempers
and scandals ;, but these pass
away, and the church stays.
and men see in it the face Of
God and find in it spiritual
life and health, and it bears /.
their burdens and floats to
them the rich fruits Of paras

CLIMBING THE RENO HILL.

Since the generous legislature has
made it possible there will be many
people climbing the Reno hill during
the dog days Of summer.
The Reno trail has become most
popular with those suffering from do
mestic discomfort. There have been
drawbacks, and the Nevada legisla-
ture has removed them. Now it will
be much easier for broken hearts to
be mended under the desert skies.
The divorce lafs OF Nevada have
always been as elastic as a garter,
but today, with the recent amendment
they are even more lax, says the
Memphis Commercial Appeal.
1t has heretofore only been neces-
sary to be a resident Of the state for
six months to secure a divorce. The
man and woman seeking release jour
ney to the state. They are met at the
depot by lawyer. The suit is IN
stituted the next day, and then, after
waiting six months, the decree is is
sued
SO great has become the divorce in
dnstry in Reno that an additional
court has been created in order that
the accumulating business may be
dispatched more quickly
Under the old law il was necessary
to reside in the state for fully six
months before the decree could be OBJ
tsined. and this was the fatal draw
back, for many were unable to remain
away from home and business for
such length of time, and others
could not stand the expense.
Realizing this, and in order to give
an impetus to the divorce business,
the legislature SO amended the law as
to provide KII after a person be-
comes q resident Of the state they
may leave if business demands their
presence elsewhere. In other words,
it is only necessary to go to Reno
become a resident for day. file an
application for divorce. return home
and at the expiration of six months
return and claim the decree. No
trouble at all, extremely simple and
a most accommodating law and court.
Those who climb the Reno hill new
er meet with opposition. No applica-
tion is ever rejected. The court does
not care what grounds are alleged.
There is no offense that is not suf-
ficient to secure divorce in Nevada.
The defendants never file cross bills.
The papers are made up on demand,
and now it is not even necessary to
pass more than a day or two in the
state.
This divorce system in Nevada is
the national shame of the United
States. It has the tendency to make
matrimony a huge joke. It encourag-
es conjugal infelicity and debauches
one Of the most sacred estates known
TO man.

The TraII 10 the KeeehI HIIIs

H~ Aat ~ AhC fN~SRtfN
Through miles of long-stemmed grass
es
And prairie blossoms gay,
This narrow trail
Adown the vale
Pursues its pleasant way.
A wrinkled silver ribbon
The blue and green between,
It leads away
Where cattle stray
Knee-deep in pastures green.
A white-topped tepee glistens
Upon an emerald knoll,
And down the path
With joyous laugh
Gay red-skinned rovers stroll.
The long-horned steers a-grazing,
Their glossy necks uplift;
They sniff the air
With anxious care
AS down the trail they drift
And still that silver ribbon
Cleans white acros sthe plains,
To where the riIls
OF the Keechi Hills
Await the Autumn rains.
