In reply to the statements as to the length of the creative days of the Lord being but twenty-four hours each, we have the following to offer:
 Answer.-E the Genesis ex- nressions critically, we discern that a distinction is made between the crea- ton Of the heaven and the earth (Verse D and the subsequent re~ula- tions, or ordering of these, and the further creations of vegetable and an- imal life. It is these subsequent op- erations that are described as th~ Di- vine work of the six epochal days.

The Bible does not say how long a period elapsed between the be- ginning when God created the heaven and the earth. and the beginning of the creative week used in perfecting it for man: nor do geologists agree amongst themselves IS to the period of in wild speculatfons of millions of years.

INCREASE OF INDIANS.

The aborigines of this country are on the. increase, much to the surprise of those who like to believe that they are becoming extinct.
 Excluding Alaska and so including only the race that was here when the white man came the Indian popula- tien of the United States in 1910 was in round figures, se5.000, as compared with 243,O00 in 1890 and 2To,0o0 in 1900. More than a third of them, or 1I7.o0e, reside in Oklahoma. Most of these are members of the old five civ ilized tribes (Cherokees, Creeks, Choc- taws Chickasaws and SeTninoles), each of which, in the old Indian. ter ritory which was part of the present state of Oklahoma, had a civil govern ment of it's own for two -thfrds, of a century, with schools, churches, mines, factories. mercantile houses, banks, and other accessories of the highest civilization.
 And the 5.470 Indians residing in New York, chiefly remnants of the old Iroouois, follow the same pursuits as their white neighbors. dress the same, and, save in complexion, differ from the whites in no essential particular.
 They are progressing slowly and surely to civilized ways and pursuits; and this country may yet have oc- casion to feel proud of her real Amer jeans.

DROPPING NIckELs AND DIMES.

As Thanksgiving is approaching we annually notice the boxes of the Sal vation Army in public places awaiting the gift of the people for the poor. These boxes only call for pennies and nickels and dimes, and to drop one in occasionally shows that you keep the unfortunate in mind
 Everyone who wishes the poor well cannot invite them to their own ta- bies: and the needy do not feel pre- paree to accept such invitations: and by proxy the Salvation Army does good work for us.
 It is your part and mine to drop a coin into these treasure boxes and whether it be large or small, feel sure that it's mission will be fulfilled
 Help make Thanksgiving day for the giving of thanks by some one of the worlds unfortunate.
 There was One who said: tsThe poor will always be with you,'' and as ye do it unto the least of these ye do it unto me-
 The Salvation Army boxes are an invitation to us to exercise the char ity which we profess to possess and may thus honor.

hour days; and hence We are not obliged thus to limit them. We find in the Bible that the word day" that 1t is most frequently used in ref erence to g. twenty -four period mat ters nothing. long es we have the record of the day of temptation in the wilderness forty years" (Psa. 95 S-l0), and sometimes a day" or time" representing a year period (Num. IA: B. 34; EzelS 4: 1-s), and also the Apostles statement. "A day with the Lord is as a thousand years" CPet 3. s. Most assuredly these epoch days were not sun days; for the rec ord is that the sun was not visible the fourth epoch. The evening and the morning of these days could not possibly be the evening and the morn ing of literal days, because the sun was not shining upon the earth until the fourth day. It is proper to place the evening" first, as the darkness existed before the creation of the light.
 The evidence is clear and strong not oEly from the Sacred Word of the Lord but from all the light of nature as revealed in the inyestiga tons of scientists. that those creative epochs were six in number and that they GOV cred a long period of time, about A, 900 years, or 1000 years for each epoch. To say that it Ia a matter of faith; and. therefore, we should believe that the cfedtlNe oays we're tWenty-Iour hours in length, is stating the matter wrongly It is only blind credulity that would prompt one to believe that the days were of such limited duration. The Apostle defines faith thus-"F'aith is & basis of things hoped for: a con vict1on Of things unseen" True faith is based upon reasonable convictions and not on any thing that Is repug- nant to common sense and reason.
 The Heavenly Father is a reasona- ble being. and His Word fg entirely reasonable when rightly understood. So reasonable is the Lord in dealing with His children that He has invited them to come and reason with Him--Isa. l IS BIBLE STUDENT.

FOLLOWING THEM PERsrsTENTLY

The case of the government against the packers shows how money can hold up the courts, and how persistent the government ] is in trying to get a square deal for the people.
 Almost nine years ago the action against the packers was begun; six months have elapsed since they plead ed, and now, after two postponements, their trial is still very much in the air.
 Upon this last technical dodge a contemporary comment thus:
 "No wonder they and other trust men grin derisively when they hear that indictments have been brought against individuals for the violation of the criminal section of the Sherman law
 No wonder the great average peo- pie require a good deal of argument to shake their impression that there is a law for the rich and law for the poor: that men in high places and with the means to obtain slick lawyers and to carry on the expensive fight from court to court have all the advantage in the world over the ordf- nary citizen accused of crime.
 Nc wonder the country is beginning to fear that guilt cannot be made personal under the antitrust act. If the trial of these beef men does not begin next Monday, it will come near to believing so-H
 To the credit of the government, it may be said, it keeps the packers squirnning with a fair prospect of get ting their pelt at last

GOOD. SAFE RULES.

No one can ever afford to become careless in the use of loaded weapons of any kind Old and experienced hunters are killed occasionally from careIessness in handling their weap- ens.
 Because of the fatality in western Massachusetts the first day of the open season this week. the Worcester Gazette ventures to give this very wholesome advice to gunners: There are three good rules to fol- low when handling a shotgun or rifle in the field Never swing the arm so that a human being is brought within it's range; never carry it in such way that any portion of ones body is in range, or would be brought in range in case of a fall; never lean a gun against anything always lay 1t down and avoid the risk of 8 discharge by it's falling. To these might be add ed the general rule, namely, always handle a. gun as though it was loaded, even when morally certain that it is not charged.
 The observance of these simple rules will go far toward making less frequent those grewsome accidents of maiming and death of which vorces- ter has had several within the past few years'

HOW MONEY TALKS UP.

The young man who early recognizes the value of small things is on the high road to. Easy street. It is the little details of life kept up which give birth to big results. The average man is too apt to think s100 in the bank isn't much. It is enough to illustrate the accumulatiye powers of money in good shape.
 Read this, young man: There was lien put on piece of Monroe coun- ty (MichD property ss years ago for an unpaid drain tax of $68. Now, by 8 supreme court decision, Monroe county must pay the state of Micli- gan S768 to cancel the debt So much for interest, even on com paratively small sum of money
 Compound interest makes a little deposit a thing of real comfort and dependence in the long run.
 It is well known that the first $1,00O is the most difficult to save: by the time such a sum has been accumulated the saving habit has been established and the way is sure.
 It pays young men to start right if they be forced to start in a small
