SNOW FALLS, REGARDLESS.
Forecast of Weather Bureau Rudely
Upset by God of Winter

Swapping his fingers in the face of the
official forecaster of the weather bureau,
Arcturus, god of winter, came across this
| morning with one of the seasons ex-
tremely few snowfalls. To be sure it
wasn't any blizzard-not even a respecta-
ble snowstorm, but snow fell, and that. In
spite of the forecaster's prediction that
no rain or snow was in sight for this
part of the United States for the present
week.
The weekly forecast, issued today bby the
weather bureau, predicts a week of sea-
sonable weather, with temperatures close
to where they ought to be, and with little
or no prospect of any considerable pre-
cipitation except in the north Pacific
states and along the Canadian border
from Minnesota eastward.
The forecast declared, further that the
weather in this part of the country and
throughout the south would be generally
fair, with little or no rain or snow But
Just the same, it showed today.
At the weather bureau the statement
was made that the snow probably will
not amount to much; that it viii not re-
main on the ground long enough to get
acquainted, and that it has no business
here. anyhow. While the weather experts
would not go SO far as to say the condi-
W ns today partook of the nature of
'hareback'' it was gathered that todays
snow belongs in that class.

Out Where Honor Lies.

Telling his congregation that boys of
today should not be told that they may
become President of the United States
or senators. Rev. James Shera Mont

Mr. Montgomery said. ARE the ones who
keep the government firm and support
the industries of the country.
He said that "many an angel, many q
queen. many a princess can be found In

many chances to achieve that which real

MIND RULES THE BODY,
STR|CKLER DECLARES
Many Men in Public Life Hear
Lecture of Christian
Scientist.

Virgil @. StrickIer of New York, men,
Der of the board Of lectureship Of the
First Church of Christ. Scientist OF Bos-
tonf delivered an address on Christian
Science yesterday afternoon a the CO.
lumbia Theater before an audience which
crowded the building to its utmost ca
pacity. Many men in public life were
present Mr.. Stricken was introduced by
Representative Frank NJ. Nye of Mime
sofa.
81 should like to mention two OR three
practical illustrations to show You how
the body is constantly responding to the
mentality that governs it, Mr.. Stricken
said. LAS you go down town in the street
car tomorrow, 1 ask you to study the
faces of two men. One is drawn and
hard: it is furrowed with deep lines. 1t
shows by its every expression that the
man hates everybody and he thinks
everybody hates him. And sitting right
by his side is another man. whose face Is
beaming with good will and with broth
erly kindness. He shows by his every ex-
preston that he loves everybody and he
thinks everybody loves him.
What Is the Difference.
What is it. do you suppose, that makes
the difference in the faces Of those two
men? Is it not their thought? And if
that can produce such changes in the eX-
preston and shape and contour of mems
faces, 1T is unreasonable to suppose that
thought will produce like changes In the
shape and action and function of every
organ of the body?
There is no part of the human body
that is beyond the reach of human
thought, and since no part Of the human
body possesses intelligence or sensation
of itself. it therefore follows that no part
Of the human body can act or refuse to
act except in obedience to the mentality
that governs.
Take the case of a man who yields to
a fit of anger. What takes place? Imme-
diately the function Of every organ in his
body is disarranged, the liver at once be-
gins. to secrete bile and to diffuse ii
through the system, and one of the first
results of a fit of anger is that the
breath becomes foul and the heart ac-
ton is disturbed. 1t is either accelerated
or retarded and the face becomes pale or
flushed, and any doctor will tell you that
many deaths have occurred from fits of
anger, and yet anger is purely a mind
condition or mental state.
Host to His Enemies.
Does 1t require much thought to see
that like results will also occur from
habitual entertainment of wrong mental
qualities Can you not see that the man
who habitually entertains hatred or dis
honesty or fear or SelfiShness in any
form is entertaining in his mental home
enemies that will some day turn and
destroy him?
And it is only I'm proportion as We
get rid of the qualities that pertain to
the mortal mind and come to have in
place thereof those qualities that belong
to the God-mind, that we shall ever Ind
ourselves emerging from the material into
the spiritual
''The longer people continue to believe
that they shall gain their emancipation
from evil and pass to glorified state of
being by going through the act Of -eath.
the longer they are postpOning the day
when they shall begin to work out their
