BELIEVE WITH THE HEART.

There are so many little phrases in
the Bible that men pass as merely
words, and yet contain the deepest
doctrine of life. Here is one: For
with the heart man believeth into
Righteousness" etc. We are so apt to
think it is all important to believe
with the mind, but that sort of belief
will not stand the racket. The origin
of truth is intuition, the spirit, The
heart, the emotions God does not
talk to a man through his mind. but
through his heart, which is the seat of
all life, purpose, aspiration
The good life comes from the heart
faith, not from the mere mental con-
viction. It is the heart that opens the
path to duty. Intellect alone would
lead this world to the bowwows. It
is often difficult for one to arrange his
intellectual conviction to meet his as
pirations. but he can always do it with
the sort of faith the Bible teaches
the heart faith. This is as good psy-
chology as il is theology; it is as much
science as 1t is religion.-Ohio State
J Journal.

Kansas is the only state I have
passed through on my way home that
is deserving Of any praise"
Thus spoke a recently returned To-
pekan who has been visiting on the
Pacific coast for several months, hav-
ing passed most OF his time in southern
California. He's not in the real estate
business, nor is he a native of the Sun
flower state. He is as fair in all things
as he is discerning. He had no occa-
sion to boast when he made the remark
quoted above. 1t and other opinions
came in the course of a casual CONVEX
sation with a friend about his trip.
And as soon as he had spoken as in
dicated he amplified the remark by
continuing:
considerable was heard out on the
coast about Kansas being in the throes
of a drouth with everything burning
up and the state going to the bow
vows. But saw no evidence to this
effect as I came across the state on
Sunday. To be sure it was raining
then most of the way, but that rain
had not put the farms in the generally
good condition I saw them. But out
side Of the immediate crop prospects,
Kansas is different. The farm houses
you see from the car windows ara
palaces to what you see elsewhere. The
towns and the cities are as clean-look
ing as the advertisements that were
built around 'Spotless Town Even
from the railroad stations all of the
Kansas towns, villages and cities give
every indication of being alive and
ent with the cities and towns in the
other states we came through, with the
of course, of the big cities in
southern California.
And much of this atlk of the ease
with which fortunes can be made ia
farming and fruit growing in California
are the dreams of the men who have
the land to sell. No one win deny the
fertility of the California valleys or f
irrigated lands there. But let me tell
you that this land costs money. Four
and five hundred dollars. and more, an
acre is what the best of ~ eruit land
brings and then much money has to be
spent on it to put it into condition for
fruit culture. Then there is the wait
until the trees mature sufficiently to
bear. This takes money and lots of it.
The man who has enough capital TO
a fruit farm, orange or lemon
OF any kind, would do better and save
himself lot of sleepless night by pur.
c asing ten to twenty acre fruit farm
that is already bearing and delivering
the goods. Nor will he roll up a big
fortune for himself on such farm
He'll be able to make fairly decent
living. But that's all. If there were
tremendous fortunes ir such farms
that are yielding their fruit capacity,
do you suppose many of them would be
for sale? Certainly not. But you can
find plenty of them on the market.
California is a wonderful country
all right. but it's a mighty poor place
for any one who hasn't big bank roll
Or plenty Of capital behind him. How
different in this respect is Kansas
