Fortunately we live in a world where
the temperature seldom exceeds the
limits Of, say, 90 degrees below zero

seems a tremendous range of tempera-

with that found on every side in ma

hydrogen at 421 is still colder, while
liquid helium at 451 below zero is the
coolest thing we know of. Going the

dangerous error. Just here is a weak
spot in our educational systems.
In religion likewise. Religion is a
complex affair. 1t includes the intel
Iect, the emotions and the will-all
the human trinity. Some of US make
the intellect the chief thing. We must
know all about it, or we will not &C
cept it. Others are controlled by their
feelings Fear, love, hope, doubt in
turn compel them. They have no sure
anchorage.
Our religious food, it goes without
saying, should be OF the finest quail
ity. We should know all we can of d.
vine truth so that our faith may be
firm. We must have emotions to keep
US awake. We must have will power
to compel us to action. The ideal ra-
ton might consist of equal parts of
these, but individual differences will
demand prescriptions especially com
pounded. Our hope is in the grace of
God, and in his love and mercy, which
translates our mistakes into blessings,
and makes even our infirmities to
praise Him

In all our affairs the widest range of

A Balanced Ration
CBy John G. Osborn. }

In these days of agricultural i'm
provement we hear much about the
balanced ration"-foods for animals
and plants compounded scientifically
so as to obtain certain desired results
in grains. fruits, meats or dairy pro-
ducts. Whatever may be the actual
or possible results the principle is OF
wide application.
Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth out
OF the mouth OF God" This phrase,
We take it, includes all the prepare
tons God has made for human exist
ence and development. It takes in all
our social and personal relations, our
civil and Industrial organisms, our
educational processes and our reIig-
ious experiences. These, whether we
regard them as direct or indirect re-
suits of Gods overrunng providences
In human affairs. are the foods on
which our mental and spiritual ma
lures must thrive or starVe.
Following our animal instincts we
satisfy our bodily hunger with such
food as may be most available. With
much experience. often painful, we

at the same time. The judge asked
the southerner if the legal tender acts

to Reed and asked him the same ques-
