darkness.
This thought pervades the Scriptures
from first to last, namely, that for six
thousand years, from the time of the
entrance Of sin to the second coming
Of Jesus, the world will be subject TO
reign Of sin and death-under pail OF
darkness, ignorance, superstition, sin.
The only ones who will see the path or
righteousness distinctly will be those
guided by the ''lantern"-God's Word.
They are represented as saying, "Thy
word is lamp to my feet and Ian
tern to my footsteps"
Our text tells Of better day sure to
come. But never might we hope for
the adjustment of darkness except In
the way in which God has foretold it
through the establishment of Messiah's
Kingdom-through the shining forth or
the Sun of Righteousness-the Church
in glory.-Matthew xiii, 43.

the True Light which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world. John

there are many-lights Of heathendom

are urged to let their light shine before
men that they may take knowledge

one angrily behind him, and he sat
down.
He would go to her after the act
was over. He wanted her as he had
never wanted her before. For her,
sake he would lay aside the last
vestige of his pride, for her sake he
would confess his folly; and for his
own sake he would beg for the glory
Of her love.
He could not see her face through
the misty curtain that foated before
his own. He put his hand to his eyes
and was surprised to find it wet. He
looked again. He could not see her
now.
The curtain fell; the lights went up.
But Lillian was not there.
Was she dream only, born of his
imagination and his desires? No,
there was the empty seat, and there,
even, was little glove, dropped from
her lap. He could not but know Lii
lian's glove. He picked it up and
pressed it to his lips reverently; then
suddenly he found that people we're
staring at him. He glanced round
him wildly-and all at once became
aware that all eyes were turned upon
the stage and that a storm of applause
had broken loose all over the theater.
He looked up. Lillian was standing
before the curtain, and her bow was
to the crowd; but her eyes were on
his.
Then suddenly Langdon understood.
She was the author; she had sue
ceeded where he had failed, and she
had put all the sorrow and suffering
of both of them into the story. And
even as he watched her she was gone,
and he stood still in the aisle among
the moving crowds.
The second seat was empty. Lang
don slipped into it, and presently he
saw her coming down the aisle toward
him. Her head was very high; her
cheeks afame with happiness. And
she sat down at his side
"Lillian!" he whispered, hardly dar-
| ing to look into her eyes. ut was

Lillian, 1 have sought you all this

said.

'The last act!" he muttered Lii

she whispered. "You will see soon.

Senate Of Samos.

The Second Chamber of Samos must
be about the smallest in the world.
Four persons, representing the four
districts of the island, constitute the
Samian senate. They are chosen by
the prince from list of eight annual

bly,, and their qualifications are 80
years of age and ability to read and
write.
A debate in the Samian senate can
not be a very tremendous affair. But
we recall that it was to Samians over
1000 years ago that the Spartans gave
a lesson against verbosity. Having
heard the eloquent tale of the Samian
exiles, they said: "We have forgot.

FEED QUESTION is BIG ONE
Possible for Dairy Farmer to Grow
Balanced Rations-His Salvation
Depends on Point.

Molasses is used in many instances
to disguise very low-grade materials
including weed seeds. Farmers should
buy the molasses and make their OWE
mixtures. The feed question is a bis
one with dairy farmers, but it is moi
a serious problem to those who have
their barns filled with good alfalfa
hay, which can be grown successfully
in every county in New Jersey, ant
which, on the average, would not cost
$40 ton. l am strongly opposed tc

less the price is in proportion, which
unfortunately, is not now the case
as on the average feeds carrying from
to IL per cent protein, and higE
percentage of crude fiber, cost pei
ton practically the same as feeds
which carry from Is to 40 per cent
protein, with CORRESPONDENCE high
rate Of digestibility and low percent
age of crude fiber. You could do nc
better than to make a strong drive
for high-grade protein feeds. more
also for the larger growth and use OF
legumes by dairy farmers. 1t is pos
sible for the dairy farmer to grow
balanced rations, or at least to get
along with very small purchase OF
feeds, says writer in an exchange.

he does not realize the steam ham,

A recent storm on the British coast
received the official designation of a

taken in Hastings harbor shows the
conclusions with which the waves
struck the sea wall, sending spray,

AFTER THE LAST ACT
Stery Of Suffering and Sorrow
Of Two Lovers in Play.
BY RICHARD BENNETT.

Arthur Langdon had gone into the
theater quite accidentally; he had
been dining with a friend who was
suddenly called away, and, passing
homeward to his lodgings on Forty
third street, he had stopped and found
himself gazing with passing interest
at the poster representing Miriam
Grey in "The Looking Glass" Under
meath the picture was pasted slip
bearing the words Opening night"
Langdon looked at the picture with
increasing anger and disdain. He i'm
agined the morrow's criticisms-out-
f1owings of eulogy upon "a great heart
drama" or "a triumph of art" by some
new dramatist-Paul Smith, this au-
thor called himself-who imagined
that he had penetrated into the
arcana of the universe and shared in
every human experience!
Then he bought ticket and went
In, in bitter mood, in order to sneer.
So the curtain went up and the per-
Torrance began, and Langdon, sitting
in his seat, prepared to satiate his
chagrln ana contempt.
He had devoted five years of his
life to play writing, and every effort
had come back to him with the barest
formality of a reply. So he had
abandoned that field to reap a fair
success as a story writer But the
failure of his earlier efforts had EN-
FILTERED him against those whose
struggles had been rewarded.
Yet when Miriam Grey came on and
captivated the attention of the au-
dience; when the plain, simple story
gradually began to make it's way into
the hearts of the audience; when sobs
punctuated the silence, Langdon found
himself gripped, enthralled, by the
writer's power, but it was not until
