Such apathy Is characteristic OF con-

the people arc not thinking for them

beginning to demand State leaders

Bible with equal frequency: Tho Lord

His people arc 1.-The inheritance OF tho
Him in his life. There is deep and
blessed mystery involved in this Won
derful prerogative. that the loving ana
believing heart has God for Its pos
session and indwelling guest. God is
ours in tho measure IN which our
thoughts and hearts are occupied with

about God? There is only one way of

many not even that. How then can We
expect TO love and possess God IL we
never draw near to Him except under
some extreme circumstance of JOY or
sorrow. 1t is true of this relation as
of our earthly ties that If we do not
live for. love and do for those that
should be near us, We soon find them
drifting from us and We lose that
which we might have possessed. Some
times acts of remuneration arc neces-
sary, even as the Lcvito's example in
our text. TO put it in plain words.
there must be giving UP OF the ma
tcrial at times. an emptying of our
hearts Of earthly things SO that tho
Eivine and heavenly may possess
them.
The only thing that is worth calling
ours in this regard is a love of God
that SO brings Him into our life as to
pass into it and saturate It like dyel
In cloth. and this is how God wishes
to give Himself to US. so that no earth

be to spend the night at the White

1t is likely that the invitation will

elect goes to Staunton, Va, his birtt
place, to attend jubilee in his honor.
This will be Christmas week. Cover

This will be an unusual display of
amenities on the part of a president
toward his successor President Taft
however. feels II would be not only a
fitting thing to do, but extremely use
full to the governor and Mrs. Wilson.
Little doubt is felt here that Governor
and Mrs. Wilson will accept the invita-
tion as graeiously as it will be given.

Degrees Of Decomposition.

Washington.--Is decomposed egg.
within the meaning of the pure food
and drugs act OF 1906, the same thing
as rotten eggs" under the common
law?
Upon the early decision OF that
question by the supreme court of the
United States Ia said to hang one of
the most far-reaching disputes in re-
gard to the federal pure food law
since its enactment.
Egg men are attacking the depart
ment of agriculture as seeking to en-
force the law, according to arbitrary
and unreasonable standards, while Of
ticials of the department are defending
their course as involving the most
valuable features of the legislation
against improper food
The controversy arose over the seiz-
ure in Jersey City, NJ J.. Of 44S cans
OF frozen egg product packed in To
peka. Kan. by the Seymour Packing
Company upon the order of the H. ]
Keith company. The pure food Law
provided that an article should be
deemed aduiterated when "decom
posed"
In the trial that followed the gov
ernment called Dr. George w. Stiles,
Jr., and number OF other govern
ment chemist, who testified that the
correct method of telling whether an
egg was decomposed was to count the
bacteria In the egg substance.
The Keith company contended con
gress had not defined what 1t meant
by "decomposed." and 80 the courts
as the supreme court did in finding q
meaning for restraint of trade" In the
Standard Oil case. must go back tc
the common law for definition
Under the common law, 1t con
tinued. decomposed egg was rot
ten egg, and so congress must have
meant to have legIslated against rot
ten eggs or eggs "unwholesomely de
composed"
The egg company attacks the govern
ment as acknowledging that every
thing in this world is more or less de
composed and that 1t had to adopt al
arbitrary standard Of decomposition
