HOW COED II LOOKS.

Just now Iowa is in one OF the best
phases of her many sided beauty. \
drive across country is a delight and
stretch dark from the green bordered
roadstdes or sweep away in undulated
and verdurous pastures and springiHg
fields of small grain There Is the
wholesome smell Of newly p!oyveI
ground in the air The birds are busy
and the buds unfold upon the trees.
Teams and men are busy on every
side. The sky bends over deep and
blue and soft and the sunshine smites
with the promise Of heated June. The
earth IS quickened receptive gravid
with hope. And Iowa is beautiful be-
yond measure and above comprehen-
sion.
Even the black steanv corn fields
seem to Stir with the pulse Of the
spring. Smooth and level as the har-
row can make them striped with the
even-distant track Of planter wheels
they hint Of secret processes OF life
leaflets striving up TO the sunshine, Of
the new resurrection OF the corn.
Yesterday the fields were white with
winter snow; today they are warm and
green with spring. Tomorrow the yell
low of the harvest and the triumph Of
summer. And waiting, like a mother,
at the gate Of winter sits autumn, the
finished fruition OF the year in her lap,
ripe, gracious and beautiful the gen
Jus and soul of Iowa How good II
all is?
So the swift seasons change. each IN
its own beauty and with it's own joy.
So rolls the year from quickening to
birth on to the mimic death Of winter
along the lanes OF Iowa. How good it
all looks, how good it all Is.

3 Lay Sermon by Sir Oliver.
New York SUM-

~
No scientific man cOmpels greater
,rtarost and attention in this country
when dealing with religious matters
than Sir Oliver Lodge. His great lay
sermon on the subject of christian
revelation from the scientific point or
view was the outstanding event at tne
National Free Church Council meeting
at Portsmouth, Sir Oliver declare"
that he had learned to regard the UNI
y1-se as a concrete: full bodied reallty
with its parts accessible and intelllglnie
TO all. Among other things he SAD:
.Proyress lies in careful investigation
as well as speculation and thousht UP
to the limits Of human power. "hen
things are really understood they are
perceived to be fairly simple after all.
The christian conception of God Is hu-
namely simple. 1t appeals to the man
in the street, TO the unlettered, the
ignorant and babes. That is the way
with the greatest things.
.The sun is the center Of the solar
system. a glorious object full of mys-
terry ard unknown forces. but the sun
shine is a friendly. homely thing that
touches common objects and conduces
to comfort-yes, conduces to the com
fort of the cat. Sunshine is not the
sun, but is the human, terrestrial as
pect of the sun.
Thus would ! represent the chris
tan conception Of God. Christ Is the
human. practical. workaday aspect
Christ is the sunshine, that fraction OF
the transcendental, cosmic deity which
suffuses the earth.
In dealing with miracles Sir Oliver
said they were no more impossible, no
more lawless than the interference or
a human being would seem to colony
of ants and bees. The region Of the
he concluded, has been
hastily and illegitimately denied SO
long as we do not imagine 1t to be
region denuded Of a law and order OF
its own akin to the law and order OF
psych illogical realm our denial has no
foundation

THE CLAIM TO "CURE" CANCER.

Medical science at its best and high

The cancer cure specialist who makes
widespread claims 20 cure" malignant
cancer with medicine becomes thus a
public danger. He stands between
the afflicted and possible relief pointing
a path which science and experience
ing fa,se hopes II- batt2ns Upon the
general ignorance OF diseases and their
remedies and the common dread Of
surgery.
Medical science has made great
strides In the past thirty years. 1t has
made great discoveries in surgery and
medicine But 1t has not as yet found
specifics for certain terrible and dead
ly diseases. In cancer its first and
last resort is surgery. And be it known
that malignant cancer always calls for
the last resort.
The afflicted should shun the can
Ger cure claimant II he is an
Minerant it should even more sedu-
lousy avoid him. The man who
can successfully treat cancer by redi-
cine need seek neither patients nor
wealth. He could name his own fees
in an institute greater than the Mavos
ever imagined He could sell his form
ula for a million tomorrow.
