Perhaps the course of wisdom would be to retire as far as possible from earthly strife, to exist in some insulat- ed sterflized chamber to which harm could never come. We might thus avoid risk and keep his life safe.
 But even if one could do that it would give no relief. AS a maater of fact we never escap De risks by refusing to take any, There is a risk in anything we un- dertake to do in this world, but surely equal risk in doing nothing.
 Abraham took big risk when he left his ancestral home to go out into Q land of which he knew nothing. But by so doing he became the founder of a great nation. Washington took a risk in crossing the Delaware on wintry night But 1t meant the gaining of a notable victory.
 If go ahead I run the risk of collid- ing with someone or something before me. But a rearend collision is as dis aStrouS as one head on. I am at least equally liable to be hit if I stand still and am getting nowhere meanwhile in- to the bargain. On the sea 1t has been proven that the faster ships are, in the long run safer than the slower ones.
 While pushing ahead with soul intent on some good enterprise one is scarce- ly conscious of the incidental hardshi ps of the way. You do not need to pity the man immersed in some useful occupa- CTS. He is not conscious of any knocks. He is like a ship under way, cutting the pillows and leaving them behind. It is only when the ship stops that the pas- sengers begin to get seasick.
 Life even in it's happiest and best es- tate involves risk. We cannot change the universe that God has made. We cannot perfectly understand it's laws or control it's forces. We must go out each day as the patriarsh did, mot knowing whithere he went"
 But that Gods world is essentiali, friendly to the man of courage,we may heartily believe. We are not to cringe like sloves in the power of a caprfcious tyrant. God would have us march through life as soldiers. breast and back as either should be-" To find and to do one's duty regardless of seeming risk in the way to avoid the biggest risk of all. the risk of being useless in the Kingdom.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
THE RISKY BUSINESS OF LIVING.


 It is rather risky business to be alive at all. The world is full of pitfalls and dangers. One nveF knows what minute he is to encounter trouble. An auto mobile may hit him as he crosses the street. He may fall on a slippery side walk. There are a thousand noxious germs in every breath he draws. count less bacteria in every mouthful of his food.
 Popular medical treatises induce in us the conviction that we are likely candidates for most of the troubles therein described. The pure food spec ialists, analysing our habitual diet, almost discourage us from eating. From the heights of their success eminent lights of the business or professional world point to the thorny paths they had to travel and intimate to our aspir- ing spirits. better not One may cas- fly get case of nerves over the dismal situation. It takes some courage to live

When a man reaches a point of de- velepment where he can forgive others for their mistakes and cannot excuse his own, he is on pretty good footing. This is the point of attainment 1t would be well for every man to strive for. Here he has a chance to see the firm ament of manhood in all it's glory and feel that he Is a true heir of the Promised Land. This requires reso- lution and a breadth of purpose which tells for redemption. Revenge is dis grace. Do not forget the prayer of the Saviour in his moment of extreme suffering: Father forgive them, they know not what they do.'' There is nothing good enough for you or I ex- cept the noblest example. Forgive ness has been set in piety like a pearl the pearl of great price--and we seem to be blind to the fact that it is ours well as His.

some have added that it is to be hop

follow the example of North Dakota
in providing a system OF Unanimous

According to the eastern papers
there are thousands of motorists who
are only waiting for good roads to
make a trip to this state. In the eyes
Of the New York state and Massachu-

upon as having greater possibilities
than other states and they seem ana>

South Dakota is about to pass a

money will be appropriated. through
a bond issue, for the building of a

According to those who have made
a study OF road building, it is said
that North Dakota a profit largely

made in the eastern states when state
roads were first agitated and con.

proved very costly, were made with

Hand, Foot and Nose of Common Mole

Hand, Foot and Nose of Common Mole.
The strength Of these little animals is
marvellous. They will heave up the
surface of a path trodden 80 hard
that repeated blows of pick will be
needed to break the crust.
Ordinarily the mole makes his way
through the soil as a root does, or a
stake when driven by the blows of a
sledge. The earth is not excavated,
but simply crowded aside. When the
ground becomes very hard, of course.
the mole Is obliged to excavate the
passageways and push the loose dirt
out through the openings of the roof
Of his tunnel.
The mole keeps at work all through
the winter insplaces where the ground
ls not frozen too hard. He works
more frequently in the morning and
evening.
Moles do very little harm to the
roots of grain, grasses or vegetables,
except in pushing the soil aside, and
they live principally on the white
grub, earth-worms and beetles.
He thus proves himself to be a
friend to mankind, because grubs are
the greatest scourges of grass and
other valuable plant roots.
