Gets Hundreds Of Messages
on Birthday. J

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Oct. 2S.-Colonel
Roosevelt was fifty-four years old yes
terday. He celebrated the anniversary
of his birth with no other ceremony
than that of gathering about him al
dinner as many members OF his family
as could possibly be present at his
home at Oyster Bay.
The celebration was family affair
exclusively, although a dozen or more
admirers of the colonel journeyed to
Sycamore Hill to offer their congratu
lations.
Congratulatory messages were re
ceived from hundreds of friends. Tele'
grams have poured in from all parts
Of the United States. Floral tokens
and other gifts have been sent to the
colonel by close friends of the family
Colonel Roosevelt has completed the
speech which he will deliver in New
York on Wednesday evening. He de
clares he will deliver the speech nc
matter what happens.
This bulletin was given out by the
physicians:
Colonel Roosevelt's wound shows
marked progress in healing. There is
no reasonable doubt that hesswill be
able to speak on Wednesday night
There is some oedema Of the chest
muscles, which makes it necessary tc
forbit his shaking hands.

Starch was never heard of In Eng

the true beauties of Gods Word. we
find that while the gross Error of the
past has some foundation in the Truth
the two are very different.
Wrong Views Of Future Punishment.
Wrong views Of future punishment
have divided Christians into many
sects. Our forefathers were not to
blame: ability to read was not com
mon until within century. Further
more. for centuries the Bible was out

zeal tried to bring the whole world.
through fear, into the Church.
Now. all thinking people repudiate
the torment theories. and many are
turning from the creeds. and from the
Bible, the supposed foundation.
The present trend Is toward Higher
Criticism. Evolution. In France. it is
claimed. ninety six per cent of the peo
pie have lost all faith in religion; in
Germany. ninety per cent. How i'm
portant that the people should learn
that God has made generous provision
for all through Christ. and that He
will bring all to knowledge Of
Christ; that every wilfuI sin must
bear its just penalty.
The subject of future punishment is
most important. The people should
know respecting the word He'll In the
original Scriptures-that Sheol Of the
Old Testament represents the Bible
teaching Of hell for the first four thou
sand years. and that Hades in the New
Testament means the same; that these
words do not stand for torture. but for
the state Of death. Humanity are re-
deemed from the grave by the death of
Christ, and Sheol. Hades. the grave
shall be destroyed during Messiah's
reign.-Hosea Kill, ID; Isaiah XIV. g.;
Corinthians XIV, "a. IS.
.Gehenna fire means the garbage-fur
mace valley outside Jerusalem; it Is
symbolical of the destruction of the

PurgatoriaI Fires of tho Bible.
These are symbolical. The church is
now on trial for everlasting life or
everlasting death. The worlds purga-

vision of the Churchill Cor vi. 2.
St Peter tells of purgatorial fires
which now are purifying the saints:
"Think it not strange concerning the
fiery trial which shall try you. as
though some strange thing happened
unto you" Jesus referred to these pur-
gatorial experiences: read | John fiji
ID; John XIV. IS; Matthew xvi. "a.
St Paul says that Christ Learned
obedience by the things which He suf
fered." and that IF we suffer with Him
we shall also reign with Him."
The Scribes and Pharisees prosecuted
Jesus; He forewarned His followers
that ga mans foes shall be they of his
own household"
st. Paul points out that In the end
Of this Age fiery trials will come upon

CREATING q Vacancy.

When the republic had been set up
In France in 1S48, wrote the Baroness
Bonde, the first attempts of the en-
franchised people to use their new
powers resulted in the election Of the
most miscellaneous assembly that had
ever tried to govern a country. A
member nominated from Rouen went
to Paris and selected his seat. He had
hardly taken it when his next neigh
Dor turned and stared at him. The
Rouen man. embarrassed, turned up
his coat collar, but too late.
"Sir." said his lynx eyed colleague,
81 believe / had the honor of sending
you to the galleys for murder In 49,,
when l was judge. You had strangled
the servant of the cure who had
brought you up and robbed the worthy
man. Oblige ME by resigning imme-
diately."
The next day the moniteur announc-
ed that there was a vacancy for Rou-
en-, but did not tell why.

Suicide and the Weather.

Suicide is most frequent in summer,
when the air is clear and the sun
shines. In Europe the ma ximum Of
suicides Is reached in June and the
minimum in December Yet there are
fewer suicides in the torrid than H.
the temperate zone. In the United
States, in all seasons. there are more
suicides on sunny days than on cloudy
days. Some theorists reason that fine
weather aggravates the mental depres-
sion of the unhappy by its contrasting
sunshine. In dark weather there are
few suicides and fewer in time of
war or following some great catas-
trophe. During the first three months
that follow a devastating earthquake
there are fewer deaths by suicide than
before the cataclysm.-Harper's.
