ScripturaI Evidences That Are Aston
ishing-No One Can Afford to Be
Without the knowledge.
We do our friends valuable service
when we call their attention to the
valuable book entitled, "THE TIME
! is AT HAND" in which are given
many Scriptural evidences to prove
where we are on the stream of time.
mems hearts are failing them for
fear" and many of the leading think
ers are proposing remedies to better
conditions The Scriptures assure us
that mans extremity will be Gods
opportunity, and this book holds out
an anchor to those who fear the wave
of unrest now spreading over the
! world
The honest heart confesses that it is
at loss for an explanation of tran
spring events. While we refer to this
as the BRAIN AGE and the Age of
ENLIGHTENMENT T, nevertheless
many realize that we are fast ap-
preaching a crisis which is wrapped in
darkness owing to the present world
wide social, religious and political I'M
rest.
AS though by instinct the whole
creation, while it groans and trayails
In pain together, waits for, longs for
and hopes for the DAY, calling it the
GOLDEN AGE; yet men grope
.bl1ndly because not aware OF the great
Jehovah's gracious purposes. And TO
his wondering creatures, looking at the
length and breadth, the height and
depth of the love of God, surprising
all expectation, He explains: MY
thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, saith
the Lord; for as the heavens are high

higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts" lisa.

AN EXHIBITION OF GALL.

For unadulterated gall, William
Jennings Bryan takes the lead of
any politician in the country. In
order to satisfy his limitless ego
tlsm and assume to be the leader
of his party, he has propounded
thirteen questions to men in the
party who may be candidates next
year for the presidential nomina-
ton. In view of the fact that
Bryan has been a candidate cou-
pie of times running on a platform
OF his own construction and re-
pudiated by the voters by over
whelming majorities, the less the
aspirants for presidential honors in
his party has to do with him, the
better it will be for them, and they
should inform him in good strong
English, that the less he says, the
better for their party. Mr.. Bryan
is a good man aside from politics
but too visionary and impractical
as a politician and not inclined to
accept advice from those who have
made politics a study without any
Interior object in view.

pact on its passage and three demo-
Gratis against. Senators for rea-
sons that are unknown and which
puzzle their friends, were in oppo-
sltlon, altho they have advocated
for years the purpose to be reached
by the pact. The vote mad some
funny contradictions. Lorimer went
back on his friends and our senior
senator on his solicitude for "Gods
patient poor" voted against the
ratification of the pact. The Presi.
dent, who has strengthened him
self politically, is certainly under
greater obligations to the members
OF the democracy than to those of
his own party. But we can all ask:
Where in thunder are we at? The
democrats have exhibited more real
patriotism than the republicans
who refused to support the Presi-
dent in his efforts to give the peo-
pie what his opponents have been
demanding for years, and what
they really did not want. Talking
one thing on the stump and voting
for the trusts and big interests; as
was demonstrated last Friday.

At least, one-third of the amount
appropriated was unnecessary and
will be wasted for things in which
the state has no interest and do
not need.

HEAVEN ON EARTH.

The home is the sphere that should
have the embellishments that con-
tribute to make it a Heaven on
earth" Kindness and affection are
the embellishments. Whether you
are. housed with mother and father,
brothers and sisters, or with wife
Cor husband) and children, the
home should be the dearest place
on earth. We may wrongfully i'm
agine that we have friends outside
of the home circle and indifferently
cause chasm in the beautiful pan
Drama of home affection unwit-
tingly blighting the happiness in
life only second to the reverence of
the One-the instigator of what
constitutes True happiness-a state
we may more readily attain in the
shaping of the environments of our
home life.
Harsh words in the home bring
regrets and repentance often to
those who utter them-and often
times when it is too late to make
amends in this plane of conscious
ness. A kindly word of rebuke
will do a thousand fold more good
than harsh and ugly words of criti-
cism. Imagine the remorse of con-
science one would feel who had
spoken disrespectfully to parent,
harshly to wife, husband or child,
and something unforeseen would
happen to remove the one dear to
you though the utterance be not
an expression from the heart. 1t
is not infrequent that this state in
life arises to blight a happiness
that is nearer and dearer than all
riches-the happy home. So it is
that happiness is the guardian an
gel whose presence we should ever
cherish. Friends will desert you
in times of dire need, but family
associates are with you in sympa-
thy and aid when the hour comes
for recognition.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

The bank deposits in this state,
according to the report made at the
recent convention of bankers held
at Milwaukee, amounts to the enor-
nous sum of $780, 900, 900, which
would indicate that the people of
Wisconsin are not in the deplor-
able financial condition that the
calamity howlers are endeavoring
to make the people believe. What
is true of Wisconsin, is probably
true of the entire country-a con-
dition that certain politicians would
change, by melting the voters to
entrust national affairs to them,
who never have had any particu-
lar experience-in fact, failures out
side of politics.
1t is disgrace to the age in
which we live, that the civilized
and christian nations will permit
the disreputable Turks to massacre
the Albanians, who are a peacable
christian people. The writer is op-
posed to war and is an advocate of
peace, but under the circumstan-
ces, believes that the christian ma
tons of Europe would be justified
in blotting Turkey off the map of
the world and dividing its terri
tory among the provences which
have suffered atrocities at the hands
of the unspeakable" Turk for
centuries.
1t is only justice to President
Taft to give him the credit of be-
ing a trust buster. His predeces-
sor talked much and loud telling
what he was going to do, but did
practically nothing worse than
nothing on a couple of occasions.
Taft has not done any blowing, but
the remains of busted trusts are
scattered in all directions; but he
will not receive any credit from
those who talk one thing and do
the very opposite.
There has been twenty-four sep
arate Investigations before special
and standing committees of the
house of representative since our
democratic friends secured a ma
jority in that body. The investi-

1t is to be devoutly hoped that
the services Of DR.. Wiley, expert
chemist in the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, will be re-
tanned. He has made a strong
hight against the adulterators of
food and fakirs of drugs and pat
ent medicines, who are more than
anxious that his services shall be
dispensed with. Many of the same
crowd of prisoners opposed the re-
appointment of ]. O. Emery as
dairy and food commissioner for
Wisconsin-the best official the
state ever had in that position,
simply because he was honest and
fearless in the discharge of his du-
ties. The country cannot spare
men who fight frauds in order to

Pure English For Children.

The WoMAN's HOME COMPANION for
September contains a strong article urging
parents to use more care in teaching chill
dren to speak pure English. Following is
an extract:
zone of the causes of bad English is the
disrespect which children are permitted to
feel for each other. The sacredness of per-
s~onality is not taught them, and they are
allowed to badger each other, and to make
each other feel ashamed of all distinguish
ing peculiarities. Disrespectful nicknames
are permitted very different things from
the affectionate little home names-and
conversation, instead of being the medium
of friendliness between brothers and sisters
becomes as prickly as a Cherokee-rose
hedge.
"Undue familiarity between fellow stu
dents breeds the same disrespect and cheap
ness, and young folk who indulge in these
i~nsolent jocularities extend their i'm pudence
until it includes their fathers and mothers.
To be sure, this impudence may be mixed
with affection. A boy may call his father
the ole man. and still love him; he may
say, the mater will kick it he does such
and such a thing, and be ready, all the time
to devote his life to his mother; but he has
lowered his own standards nv talking i'll
spsh q manner de is becoming, imper-
cef ible NOT only less q gentleman, but less
f man q Character"
