RELIGION IS so DIFFERENT Now

Religion Is so different now.
From what 1t used to be.
The old time way OF serving God
Alas no more we see.
They worshipped in an old log house
No carpet on the floor:
But yet they had a happy time
For couple OF hours or more
Oh how they made the building ring
With songs of love and praise;
They had no organ or paid choir
In those old by-gone days.
The old-tfme preacher Of the word
Would speak with trem'lous voice.
Yet oh, the words the good man spoke
Would make the saints rejoice.
But things are very different now,
The house Is grand and great;
The singing by choir Is led
And must be up-to-date.
The preacher speaks but short time
And that In flowing style.
With display Of rhetoric
The moments to begutle.
Yes things are very different now !
From what they used to be:
can but like the old time way
It's good enough for me.

Imprisoned bird, how canst thou sing

And from the blue Ger sparkling fields
Thy song was born?

Hung on the dusty street,
And with the sound Of heavy wheels
Thy strains compete.

A most remarkable state. condition

of temperature, has been reached to
within three degrees. This Is consid-
cred to be a great scientific achieve

sank lower and lower until point
only three degrees from absolute was
reached, but the obdurate helium did
not even liquefy.
The Imagination, however vivid
cannot encompass what this intense
cold implies, 1t may be the death OF
the activity Of matter-that is, state

However, the three degrees may
