BY Mark Field.

The Mosaic cosmogony in the He
brew Bible opens with the sentence:
"B'rashith bara Elohim hashamayim
" ha errets.' In King James YER
sion this is very correctly translated:
IN the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth" To be sure
certain skeptical critics have taken
advantage Of the plural form of
"Elohim" to make 1t appear that that
noun should have been rendered
Gods But the well known fact
among Hebraists that Hebrew names
are often put in the plural merely to
enlarge and intensity singular mean
ing has utterly destroyed the effect
of that criticism.
Here. then, is rock mistaken and
unsuitable. Upon it we may stand
with absolute security. Whatever
may be the detailed stages that fol-
low; whether we take them from
Moses or from Darwin; from revela.
ton or from evolution, it is indisput-
able that the cosmos had begin
ming, that the beginning had cause,
that that cause was, or is, supreme,
and that there is no better name for
that supreme cause than God, which
is simply the old Saxon word for
good.
Here nature and revelation meet in
perfect harmony. For it is the ma
ture of the human mind in an in
quiry of this sort. never to rest till
it reaches first cause, and Moses
gives the cause Of the cosmos in the
clearest possible terms, and in a
way that completely fills the require
ments of the law of reason. There
fore, belief in God is natural, and
unbelief is unatural, being out OF
harmony with the law of reason.
In the light Of this deduction it is
easy to see why the greatest and
best balanced intellects of all ages
have been believers, while many bril-
liant, but ill-proportioned minds have
been skeptics,-why Sir Isaac New
ton was devout christian, while
tuo eTTdllC anu CdpIlClouS VOildlTe was
a rabid infdel
The mental machinery of the skep-
tic is always out of gear, because it
is out of harmony with the highest
laws of reason. One of Christ's own
disciples was hardly an exception to
this rule. Thomas could not believe
what his trusted brethren, with
whom he had for three years been
most intimately associated, told him
they had seen. He must see and feel
for himself.
Agnosticism, holding that the mind
is limited to visible and palpable
phenomena, is the most unreasonable
Of all things. 1t really sets aside

The revolution in China is the big
gest event on the world stage at pres
ent, but the steadily-unfolding results
are not surprising to those who have
for years observed the trend of
events and taken the time to go back
into Chinese history just little This
overturning of the ancient dynasty
and ancient customs is an outcome of
universal age-long dimensions. The
apparent ease with which the vital
concessions We're obtained from the
throne is the best argument that il

HAPPY DAYS FOR PA.

HAPPY DAYS FOR PA.
S. e. Kiser in the Record-Herald.
Pa is feeling rather clipper; every
day he wears smile.
Though he has no public office and
keeps working all the while;
They have not increased his wages,
and they never will, guess.
But his look is always cheerful and
he's full of hopefulness.
His overcoat is seedy and his pants
bag at the knees;
We are not among the people who
can travel overseas;
The price OF livings higher than it
ought to be, It's true,
But pas clinging to his courage and
he takes hopeful view.

to cut expenses down;
It seems they've been unlucky-it's

So it seems pa needn't buy one. and

sidelines. members Of the University

night for Milwaukee. where they will

then proceed to Madison for the game

preparing TO go by special train to
Madison tomorrow night to witness the
game.
A huge mass meeting was held to-
day for the two-fold purpose of
arousing enthusiasm for the game and
of protesting the action taken by
Wisconsins athletic committee where
Pickering was declared out of the
game yesterday on the charge that
he had played professional baseball.
That the Pickering challenge has
not been dropped was intimated today

which reached the city today. brings
cut the Connie Mack story of how the
Reuben once deserted ball game to
watch a blaze. Here is the tale:
I'VE used TO put Rube in center field
when we weren't pitching him. He
never wanted to sit on the bench. and
we had to humor him or he wouldn't
have stayed on the lot. He was a
bully fielder, too. One day We were
having quite a battle with some team
and RUDE was covering center field
for US. We were being hard pressed
With only one out, the other team
filled the bases in the nth inning and
a brace Of good batters were up. We
had two strikes on the next man up
and then something happened.
"a black cloud OF smoke appeared in
the sky back of center field fence and
a little later a blaze Then came the
clash and changing Of fire bells and
the clatter OF horses hoofs. hap
pened TO look in the direction of rhe
blaze. High up on the center fence
l saw RUDE perched, looking at the
blaze, silhouetted against the red glare

seemed undecided as to his next move,
but he wasn't long in making up his
mind. With a graceful salute Of his
hand, as If TO say, so long. fellows,
he dropped from sight on the other
side OF the fence and was on his way

On account Of the bad weather just

farmers and seedsmen In attempting TO
save the best quality Of seed grain for
sowing purposes.
The heavy rains Immediately fol-

for sowing purposes so that 1t will be
difficult In some communities 10 find

Work Of Seed Laboratory.
Enclosed with this find number Of
circulars which will, in part explain
the workings OF the pure seed labora-
tory.
The farming lands Of the state are
not producing nearly as large returns
as they should. One feature which
accounts for the low return is the low
quality Of seed grains used for SOW
ing purposes by farmers generally.
We would like to make this ONCE USE
full to the state by aiding in develop

We hope to be able TO put those
who wish to purchase good seed for
sowing purposes In touch with those
parties who have IL for sale. and eB-
pacially with those who are attempting
to grow good grades Of pure bred
types. II you have any seed for sale
or wish TO purchase good seed, write
us, telling your needs or what you
have.
ON account of the peculiar root
diseases which attack flax and because
these are distributed in the seed, maxi

special attention is given to seed Sc

phasize that 1t is absolutely necessary
that the farmers Of your locality OBJ

colored flax seed for sowing purposes,
il they wish to make the crop a per-

ON account of the late frosts and rains
many farmers win not have seed suit

should be made to save the bright
