SABBATH REFLECTIONS.

If we enter the grave by a virtnous
path we shall find on the other side an
exit into land of peace and sunshine;
but, If we enter the grave by path
way of vice and sin we shall find no
exit We shall be sealed in eternal
darkness and crumble into oblivion.
Have we evidence to justify this con-
clusion? | think so. Why did the
Creator cause desire for happy life
beyond the grave to dominate human
life and offer eternal existence as
reward for righteousness if it is not
possibility? Why does He call us into
the fields to study the lily and make
it to whisper of eternity. content, and
lover Why Friends, we cannot destroy
anything. Weca nscatter its component
parts and make it pass into another
state; but, in the abstract sense of de
struction, we have destroyed
nothing Eternity is written on
everything A vicious life leads down
toward the animal and the mineral and
disintegrates as such A virtuous life
leads us up to something superhuman
and beautiful 1t links the soul to that
eternal energy that defies Death. Apro-
pos to the theme, let me mention an
experience. One warm summer night

As the immensely of the universe over

God pleading for eternal life. 1t was

DAVIDSON URGES
LOVE AND POWER
Insists OH Obedience in the
Home and School.

Dr. W. NJ. Davidson, superintendent of
schools, Contrasted the old-time home
with the present-day home and vice versa
in an address last night before a large
audience at the first meeting of the sea-
son OF the Tennallytown Home and
School Association. at Masonic Hall.
TennallytoWn.
The principal point made by DR.. David
son was insistense on obedience in the
home and insistenCe on obedience in the
school. Henry Drummond, the great di-
vine, spoke only a partial TRUTH said
DR.. Davidson, in his great sermon, en-
titled The greatest thing in the world.
in which he called the greatest thing in
the world love, for l hold that love, in
and OF and by Itself is weak and fiabby
when applied to the question of discipline
in the home or discipline in the school.
TO my mind, love and power COM
bined in the great personality of parent
and teacher constitute the greatest
thing in the world. Love without power
in the rearing of children will produce
love linked with power will make for
the right sort of training in the school
and in the home"
J. B. Kincer presided at the meeting
and addresses were made by A. T
Stewart, director Of intermediate instruc-
ton; Prof. B. T. Janney, the supervising
principal, and Miss Herbert, of the chill

A novel way of escaping from the
guard house at Fort Myer was used with
success by William Houchins, a military
prisoner, yesterday morning. He modelled
an image of himself from blankets and
pillows, then carefully placed the dunn
my in his bed.
When rising time came around Houch-
ins complained of feeling Ill. The kindly
guard sent for a physician and left the
prisoner in~bed. When the guard and
the doctor came back a little later 1t
was found that Houchins' bed was oc-

The man Is twenty-fcur years old, and
recently was sentenced to serve four
years in a Federal prison by a court
