Heart toHeart
Talks.
THE HIGHER LAW,
BY EDwr A. NYR

THE HIGHER LAW.
The old adage says
Self preservation is the first law of
nature"
But that is untrue.
A bowling blizzard swept the prai.
ries of the northwest the other day. 1t
was the sort that makes you lose your
way and travel in circles. perhaps in
sight OF your home.
Two Yankton Indian women, each
with q baby on her back. were caught
In the storm far from any human hab-
itation.
What did they do?
They took of the blankets that kept
them from freezing. wrapped the
papooses snugly inside them. crooned
the babes to sleep. and then
Lay themselves down and deliber-
ateiy froze to death.
The babes were found. alive and
well.
No. The sordid law OF self preserva-
ton is not the 6rst law Of nature
There Is higher law. and it reigns
even In the savage breast.
1t Is the law OF love.
| In Chicago recently a business man
saw little child toddle in front OF an
| engine 1t was not his child. He saw
and knew that II he saved the child he
must give up his own life.
He did not hesitate.
| He ieaped after the child and dung
It to one side of the track. The engine
passed over him and mangled bis body
into shapeless mass.
Do you want more such stories Of the
heroic sort where men and women
| obey the higher law?
Read the daily newspapers.
Self preservation is only one OF tbs
laws Of nature Men and women love
their lives, but under the pressure OF
the higher law will-instantly or delib
erately. as the case may betting theil
lives away.
Man is more than animal
He Ia the offspring Of God.
And he partakes OF the divine ma
ture. He betrays his kinship.
AS the divine nature is of the es
sence of love, so man. put to the gu
preme test of choice between ssl
and love, chooses to be like God.

ST. JAMES PARISH
Had Larger Receipts in 1910 Than
Ever Before-Big Expenses Met by
Peoples Generosity.

Rev. Celestin Crozet, pastor of st.
James church, announces that al
though a falling off in revenue was
expected during the past year. the re-
CENTS have proved to be the largest of
any year in the history of the church
in Danielson. This showing is made
exceptionally remarkable in view of the
fact that many of the large families
of the parish have moved away during
the past twelve months 1t was, there
fore. with much feeling that Father
Crozet thanked the congregations at
the different masses on Sunday for
their generosity and loyalty.
The receipts from all sources for
1910 amounted to $3.50. OF this total
about $500 was received from pew
rents and about $500 more from seat
money.
The figures for the year were in the
reading an agreeable surprise for the
parishioners. They, TOO were prepared
to hear of reduction in revenue and
in no way expectant to learn that the
receipts had reached the largest
amount in the history of the local
church.
There have been calls upon the
church treasury to meet heavy repair
bills and large incidental expenditures,
however so the reduction in the parish
debt viii not be large this year. Ex-
tensfve repairs to the school building
ate into the funds received. as did
other unforeseen contingencies, but, eli
in all. the year proved very salts
