Largest of All Suns

Vega itself, however. is dwarfed by
Arcturus-the Star Of Job, largest of
All the suns, and the greatest center
of radiant energy the universe con.
tains. Five thousand suns like ours
would be required to give as much light
as is emitted by this, the mightiest
member Of all the shining multitudes
that throng the Milky Way.
So it would seem that our sun, while
right hot little star. is not much to
brag about. as heavenly bodies go II
is, in fact, star of only the fifth mag
nitude, and of inferior brightness. AS
we'll as the astronomers can make out
it occupies a position not far from
the middle of what we call the uni
verse-or, in other words, of the Milky
Way. The universe has the form of
disk; and, when we gaze at the
Milky Way, we ere looking through
it edgewise from the center-which is
the reason why the stars look SC
thick.
Yet. as matter of fact. the stars
which look so closely huddled together
in the Milky Way are separated from
each other by an average distance OF
six and half light-years. In other
words, a ray of light, which travels

they are, and how bright And it is
obvious that everything we can find
out about our own orb of day must
shed some li"ht upon the problem OF
the suns in general.
One of the oldest points about our
own sun, as newly ascertained, is that
the fluctuations in the amount of heat
1T gives out are, or seem to be, due
in large measure to the corona. If
it be asked, What is the corona7 the
answer must be that nobody knows
1t is never seen except when the
sun Is eclipsed by the moon, and then it
appears as a mysterious and ghostly
veil. whitish of hue, which streams
out in an irregular fashion to distance
of several millions of miles from the
great fiery disk. The supposition is,
however, that this veil is cloud Of
meteoric particles-such stuff as comets
are made of-and that. interposing a
thicker barrier between sun and earth
at some times than at others, 1t shuts
off more heat at certain periods than
at others. But the fluctuations, doubt
less, are mainly attributable to the al
ternation of convulsive outbursts and
relative quiescences on the solar sur

know of in nature could have set it
going at such Il pace. and no force of

that it is visitor from some other

Il Dorado Springs, Mo,
Sept. 10, 1911.
Dear Bro. kinloCh:---
failed to get to write my
farewell piece for your paper, and
have not time to write now, but Will
say just a word
1t was hard to leave Versailles be-
cause Versailles has some as good
people as any town. l feel that we
leave many good and true friends in
Versailles.
The last three weeks of our stay
demonstrated to us the friendship of
many of these people. To dinners,
suppcrs, entertainments and picnics,
we accepted seventeen invitations,
and had others that we had not time
to accept.
So we have left Versailles wishing
prosperity, and our. Lords riches,
blessings to rest upon you.
A. r. FOSTER.
Bro. Foster and family left us last
week on such short notice we didn't
know they were going until they were
gone. 1t seems to US from the name
of the place, Eldorado Springs, it
should be a good place for a Baptist
plenty of water. Bro. Foster spent
two years-and a half with the Baptist
church at this place, and in that time
did a splendid work in the Masters
cause, adding 40 to- the church
membership. While in the perform
ance of,his duties here he made some
bitter enemies, both in and out O
Vie church, but his friends were
numerous and stood faithfully by him
May success attend him in his new
field.

Last week while we were up to our
eyes on the Street Fair Catalogues
and other job work, our colored
friend and brother, Rev. G.. w.
Watts, called on US and left his order
for the Baptist Association minutes.
IT seems the Association did not al
together leave it to the option Of the
Secretary this time, but ordered him,
on account of last years work being
so very satisfactory, to have the same
printer do the work this year. And
besides they wanted'a better job than
their white brethren had, and knew
where to get it. Come to headquar-
tiers when you want neat job'printing
at reasonable prices.
