FALSE PROPHETS.


Not long ago one locomotive on the
Pennsylvania railroad hauled 100 steel
cars full of coal
1t was the heaviest load ever hauled
by locomotive.
The train was a mile and a quarter
long, and each car contained fifty tons
of coal-1OO,000 pounds
That is to say, the locomotive pulled
load Of 1900, 900 pounds. And this,
mind you. is not counting the weight
Of the heavy steel cars. The full
weight of the cars is estimated at
100000 pounds.
So that this machine. invented and
perfected by human minds, dragged
1900. 600 pounds behind 1t.
Now
Had such a feat been predicted in
the time of Pericles the wise would
have said not even can one of the gods
on Olympus do that In the day of
Columbus such a prophecy would have
been joke.
Even hundred years ago?
Why, when the first locomotive ran
on its rails scientists said it might be
sort of toy, but was impractical.
They said no human could travel at
the terrific rate of twenty five miles an
hour without disintegrating and flying
into bits.
Again, they said if trains were run at
that speed it would be necessary to
build strong stone walls on both sides
OF the track, else persons who stood
by the passing trains would be killed
by the rush of air.
Others said it may be possible to
transport light stuff by steam power
IN this way, but heavy stuff would
need to be carried on the canals or by
horse teams.
They said it.
If some Of those scientific wiseacres
could have seen that mile and a quar-
ter of coal cars or ride on that sixty
mile an hour train that goes from Chi
cago to New York in eighteen hours.
They were false prophets.
Therefore let us not be too wise in
our day and generation.
When men speak OF fighting future
battles in midair or of talking to peo-
pie on Mars or Of the things that
sound fanciful to US let us not be alto
gether faithless.
And above all
Let us be careful about making pre-
diction of failure lest even in our own
day we be proved false prophets

The Need Of Sunlight
About Your Home

And God said, Let there be light;
and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was
good: Gen. /: "a.
Thus the first commandment in
the Bible is, Let there be light" A
command written not alone on parch-
ment long ago and handed down to
us through the centuries, but reveal
ed in our daily lives and told in ma
ture, the manuscripts of God, in plain
and beautiful language which needs
10 translation nor Interpretation.
When the sunlight breaks through
the clouds after hours of storm and
gloom and floods the earth with glo-
~, the joyous chorus that bursts from
countless feathered Threats is a paen
10 that blessing-one Of the greatest
with which the Creator has endowed
us. The flowers bloom and turn their
bright faces toward the sun in mute
and unconscious, yet beautiful wor-
ship. Every living thing from the
loweststo the highest, either conscious
ly or unconsciously, seeks that source
Of life and power, of health and hap
piness-light.
Just as the blossom needs the sun
light to which it lifts it's face, lest it
wither and die; just as natures or
chestra requires that source of in
SEPARATION ere the sweetest songs are
sung; just as the tiniest insect and
the hugest animal, is dependent upon
the sunlight for comfort, SO do we re-
quire it day by day.
Without that blessing, the strong
est among us would sicken and die,un-
able to contend with the germs which
the sunlight destroys. Since earliest
time that nothingness which is
the absence Of light-'darkness, has
been synonym of despair, woe and
anguish. And what wonder, when
gloom and darkness depresses our
spirits though we may not realize the
cause. How few there are who can
as easily retain their cheeriness when
1.-THE day is gloomy, as when all is ra-
diant with sunlight, and the soul of
man responds to the joyousness OF ma
ture as naturally as the birds burst
forth with song. q
In all ages there have been people
who worshipped the sun. Nor can we
doubt the wisdom OF such iaolatry
| when the source Of light to which
they bowed. fills our minds with a
sense of reverence toward Him who
created it. .
Despite all this, sunlight, that heay-
en-sant blessing which is as free as
air or water, and often as necessary
to eur health aud happiness, is the
element which the average housewife

do we ever expel that unexceled
source OF health and happiness, of
cheer and comfort from our homes?
How peTsistently it seeks to enter
through every crevice, how lavishIy
it sheds its radiance through the
smallest window and glorifies the
humblest room.
Did you, my dear reader, ever note
a duh landscape, dreary and seer be-
meath the spell of a gloomy autumn
nal day, and feel its sheerlessness i'm
fiuence your spirit2 Did you note that
same scene when touched by the
suns radiance and feel its cheer and
beauty exhalt your mind to noble
thoughts and aspirations? Such is
the suns sanctifying presence in ev-$
cry home, however grand and ex-
.pensiyely ornamental; however hum
BILE and meanly furnished. Every
thing in nature from the lowest to the
highest proclaims the first COM
mananent Of the Bible, Let there
be light and let us not be- among
those to break ii or doubt the wis-5

Potatoe Crop to be
Unusually S mall.

Prof. n c. Murphy, acting chief
of the crop reporting board of the De
partment of Agriculture, in speaking
of the report on crops for July LIST,
issued by the department said that
hot dry weather had almost played
havoc with crop conditions during
June According to his statement,
the section hit hardest by drouth is
the tier of states comprising South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Ok
lahoma.
The report gives the condition of
the potato crop throughout the Unit
ed States as 100, yield 8l.7 and acre
age 3,495,000. The estimated yield
of potatoes for 1911 is 285,541, 500
bushels as compared to 1851, 900
bushels in 1910.
| In speaking of potatoes Prof
| Murray said:
THE potato crop promises to be
unusually short. The acreage has
| fallen on probably on account OF the
unsatisfactory prices last year, and
the condition of the crop now is low
er than at any time on July in the
last twenty-five years. Almost sen
sational advance in the price Of pc
| tatoes has been made during the las,
month. The average price on July
LIST was 96.3 cents bushel."
Relative growing conditions Of
other crops ON the basis of 100 being
average, and not normal, are as fol
lows: Apples, 97.6, pears 96.1, oran

WA1SLUKU, Mar. 1S.-The March,

meaning of the words of Paul and the
contests of the present day were vivid

THE saddest of all sad things in this
life is to see a young man or woman
simply drifting, not having any great
purpose in life. The men and women
who have nodded the life of the world,
who have made physical, mental and
moral progress possible, have been held
steadily to their great tasks by a firm
