DREAMS

has been . question that has puz-

Sometimes dreams are but triv-

to be prophetic and occasionally
great problems are worked put in
dreams. How often have the solu-

Life's Garden

We are very particular about the
kind of seeds we put in our gardens,
but not all the plants that start are
from our sowing. The wind carried
some seeds from far-of field where
weeds grew rank all last summer.
These weeds, although you never saw
them, and were not TO blame for them
growing i'm your garden, will make
trouble for you if permitted to grow and
multiply.
1t is the same way with the weeds of
character, which we viii kname faults.
Sometimes a person will think that his
failings or faults do not matter TO other
people, but only to themselves, which
is a great mistake. The breezes which
we call influence are continually watt
ing seed from one heart TO another, and
one garden given up TO weeds may
make trouble for great many people
beside the owner.

w. G.. T. u. Notes

A letter just at hand quotes from a
paper relative TO the army canteen. 1t
says: at seems no provision has been
made for the social recreation and re-
Taxation of the soldiers after removing
the canteen, which was not common
bar. The soldier should have some
club room and social meeting place
since his life is insulated and removed
from home influences
This is entirely erroneous. Since the
Anti-Canteen law went into effect, 3d.
100000 has been appropriated by Con-
gress for post-exchange buildings at
army posts and garrisons, which in
clude amusement halls, gymnasiums
fitted with every new device for ath-
letics, bowling-alleys, shooting-galleries
and reading-rooms, where the men find
every convenience for writing letters.
These building, with every facility for
amusement and social recreation with
out the use of beer, are far and above
the former canteen. We wish our
friends would give these facts the widest
publicity.

A pension Of 81 week for every man

are entitled to living outside Of the

his bill. "If the old parties and the
supreme court do not realize that fact,
they will be wiped out of existence to-

Governor Osborn Took Action.

Governor Osborn made il quite evil
dent that the people of Michigan have
no sympathy for the apparent willing
ness of some communities to deliberate
ly permit the DISCARD OF the law in or
der To cater to alleged "business inter
ests. Six gambling joints at Mt. Glenn
ems were raided one night last week
through the direct order of the Governor
The raid was planned and made under
the direction of Assistant Attorney
General Thos. A. Lawler. Eight dray
loads OF Gambling apparatus were con-
fiscated by the state and county Off
GERS. AS was to be expected it was
found that most of the gambling joints
were being operated in connection with
saloons. Since the raid one saloon
keeper has been arrested on complaint
of Alfred Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio,
who claims to have lost several hun
dred dollars in his saloon.
That the saloons and gambling joints
were close partners in business and that
they operated together was well known
TO most of the people of Michigan before
the Mt. Clemens raid. But the latter in
cident will be noted with interest be-
cause of the proof it gives as to what
can be done by determined state Off
Ger I'm cases where local officers refuse

At the national convention of the

i'm Detroit, this week, Rev. FIR. Van
Antwerp of Holy Rosary Church gave
an address based on the text, "He that
is not with me is against me, he that
gathereth not with me scattereth."
FIR. Van Antwerp, in the course of
his remarks, sounded a note of warning
against what he termed "the irreligious
tendency of the day"
ave must combat the growing tend
ency toward irreligion," said FIR. Van
Antwerp, "by more regular attend
ance at all our religious duties, and
demand, in season and out of season
the Christian education of our chill
dren. We must combat the attempt
to rob men of their faith in the divin-
ity of Christ, by stricter adherence
to the up lifting principles of His holy
gospel
1--WE must combat the fearful on
slaught now being made on the founda-
ton of Christian society through the
shocking legalized polygamy of di-
vorce by making our own homes the
prototypes of that ideal house of Naza-
reth in the practices of everything that
is beautiful in Christian modesty and
temperance.
ave must deal a deadly blow To
civic corruption with the strong weap-
on of civic virtue, standing unflinch-
ingly shoulder to shoulder until we
have beaten back the minions of politi-
cal corruptions and brought about a
purer political atmosphere. We can
not hide the fact that we are now in
the throes of deadly spiritual conflict,
when the enemies Of Christ are doing
their utmost TO dethrone Him in the
hearts of men and make void His work
for their salvation"
