promised land. The ancient Egyp-

the sphinx and on the scepters or
their mOnarchs, and among all the
eastern nations it has ever been the
symbol of power. Another land that
highly honors it is France, for 1t is
the veritable heur-de-lis that figures
on the arms of this country. But
there is a most beautiful legend that
makes the iris a sacred flower as
well as a national emblem. The
story tells that it was a trembling,
agonized witness of the crucifiXion.
When it heard the anguished cry,
"My God, my God, why hast thou

THE YEAR AHEAD.

{By Thomas MOssette Lee.)
Did you ever think that you stood on
the brink
Of a great and a glorious year:
OF a year hat will spread with bless
If you'll travel with never a fear:
II, with all your might, you'll take up
the fight
And manfully battle for God;
II youth Danish car with a song
n a prayer
AT each troublesome turn of the
road?
Oh. like the man, who says that he
can.
And never gives up with a whine:
Who shows grit and pluck, whether
meeting hard luck
Or spots where the sunbeams shine:
Who smiles when it rains. and grins
when it pains,
And looks for the break in the
cloud;
Who knows all is right and can sing
in the fight,
Because he is trusting in God.
Then on with a swing, and don't care
q thing
For the knocks and the jostles you
meet;
They'll stiffen you up for the pull to
the top
And the climb to the conqueror's
! seat.

n Prominent Statistician Shows Why
No One knows-The Importance OF
Vital Statistics.
Frederick Hoffman, the prominent
New Jersey statistician, in a recent
discussion On hi healthfulness Of va
rious localities, made the following
statement regarding North Carolina.
A glance at the map Of the United
States shows that North Carolina, in
common with all of the other Southern
States, is not included in what is
known as the registration area IF
the Division of Vital statistics Of the
United States Census. Anyone, there
fore, in quest Of information on the
important subject of local health and
mortality, finds himself confronted by
a most serious obstacle, in that the
required facts are not available. It
requires no argument, however to
prove that in so important a matter as
n health status OF a given state or
community there should not be a want
of trustworthy information, the avail
ability of which is appropriately con-
sidered an index of civilization. For
all of h great nations of the world
trustworthy information regarding
local health and mortality is avail
able, but as yet for the United States
reliable data can be had for only about
1875 per cent Of the area and $50 per
cent OK the pOpuidtlOn. All or the
Eastern States and most of the Cen
tral-Western and Pacific Coast States
are in the registration area, but not a
