Veneration at the very top, and thus,
by implication, confirms the state
ment of the Catechism that Mans
chief end is to glorify God and to
enjoy him forever" Without this
Fulcrum, missionaries and philan-
thropists might we'll lose all heart
and all hope in respect to the moral
and social uplift of the masses and
the classes. Whoever, therefore, is
intelligently a friend to his race
must do everything in his power to
maintain this center of mentaI bal
ance, and to utilize it as an essential
feature in the Divine arrangement
any manner or degree undermines
this element of the mind is surely
doing a destructive work, instead of
a constructive one, whether he real
ICES the fact or not.-Pastor Russell

To have no personal God must
eventually signify to the reasoning

Charles e. Lathrop, veteran editor
OF the Carbondale Leader, and prob
ably the Oldest active journalist in
Pennsylvania, celebrated his eighty
fourth birthday at his home on Gar
feld avenue, Carbondale, Sunday.
The event was observed in a very
quiet manner. For the past several
