| During this winter visit to the Pine
Tree State have had the privilege of
sleigh ride with the first lady to awaken
Today she stands as one of that happy
! throng of kindred souls who strive to full
fill the design of creation by developing
all the latent energies of nature. The
old saying that it is better to have loved
in vain than not to have loved at all, is
as true today as ever. The old division
wall between sacred and profane history
is placed in the wrong place and runs in
the wrong direction. The fact that
farmers have learned that it pays to Gull
tivate potatoes every week instead of
once during the season, as we used to,
ought to constitute sacred page in his
tory, because it is beneficial to man,
while the immoral stories of the Old Tes-
lament ought to be considered profane
history because they are degrading.
When prominent physician told of
saving his uncle's life by packing in hot
water, was reminded of the old Thomp-
sonian method, when DIR. Thompson had
his steam box century or more ago and
hauled it around to sweat each and every
patient without regard to ailment. There
is more truth than poetry in the treat
ment, as it takes impurities out of the
system and places the organs in a condi-
ton to regain normal processes if pro-
tected from exposure. Every discovery
has within it elements of divinity, and
the time will come when D. D. will i'm
ply less of Bible, as heretofore, and
more of natures laws. 1t is said the
| Greek appealed to the reason, the Ro-
man to the emotion, but Jesus proceed
ed one step farther and demanded the
! action of the will.
In former article spoke of listening
to sermon at All Souls church in Chi
cago. Frank Mclean in Worlds Events
gave a fuller description of Abraham
Lincoln Center, owned by this church,
than was able to acquire during hasty
visit. From this article learned that
the building cost 100000. The articles
J of incorporation give as their object to
advance the physical, intellectual, social,
civic, moral and religious interests of
humanity, irrespective of age, sex, or
creed, race, condition or political opinion,
and in furtherance thereof the maintain
ance of institutions of learning and
philanthrophy. The building extends
108 feet on lakewood Boulevard and rs
feet on Langley avenue. 1t is seven
stories high. From paper called Unity
published there l select the following
thoughts presented by Prof. Geo. B.
Foster of the University of Chicago:
Nature has places and periods of storm.
So has social and civil life. So has the
human soul, The first Christian COM
munity began in storm. 1t stirred the
world up When current opinions are
willing, wide spread forms of faith de-
caying, worm-eaten institutions mould
ering, then it is painful thing to see the
branches of the existing culture system
slowly shed its leaves. But violent
storm comes and sweeps away over night
what has already had its day and ought
to be out of the way. And we welcome
the hurricane, those great personalities
whom the philosopher Hegel called the
beacons of the human race, who fire.
quently rise up with the violence of
hurricane. Scarcely year passes that
the war-cloud does not darken some sky
and the roar Of the cannon shake some
continent. Unnatural and inhuman con-
ditions of modern life are scarcely sec
ond to the rottenest era of old Rome.
