Do We Dodge Death?

Can we mortals always be trusted
to dc the right thing? The fear Of
death is general. Life is sacrificed
every hour because the rules Of health
are not obeyed. Death is the one
great monster of dread from whom
all fee. Yet how many safeguard
their living in such way as to avert
his coming? The rs.es of health are
violated because of the immunity we
feel, but finally the penalty must
be paid. No argument is needed to
enforce the lesson. Everybody knows
it. The rules of right living are clear,
explicit. Vice, intemperance,. wrong
living, overeatfng as well as over
drinking, continue to pay their trib-
ute to the undertaken and the grave

granaries in sufficient number in
Russia. The absence of such con-
veniences prevents proper grading
The grain is not marketed in the
American way, but is sold by samples
and standards. The grain grown by
the peasants forms a large proper
tion, and, as IL Is usually defective in
preparation, the buyers are compelled
to insist upon a wide margin for
adulteration, admixture or fouling.
This, again, leads to the artificial
fouling of clean grain, because under
the ordinary contracts for Russian
grain it is all treated as If 1t were not

the assembled biologists of the world,
who greeted him as the father of mod
ern geology. In electricity the Italians
have done more than almost any other
nation. Galvani, Volta, Melloni, who
did so much for thermo-electricity
and, in later years, Marconi must be
recognized as important in this field.
In scientific inventions Italy has the
telescope, the improved microscope,
the thermometer, the vernier and all
of Leonardo da Vinci's inventions,
locks for canals, the movable der
rick with self-dumping apparatus, the
wheelbarrow and all the various modes
of erecting statues, casting them, and
lifting large monoliths into place so
well done in the Renaissance time.
Venice has made colors and lace what
they are; spectacles were invented

Voltaic pile was as revolutionary as
the steam engine.

WHAT A RETREAT is
1T MEANS GETTING AT THE
TRUTH IN REGARD TO OUR
SPIRITUAL CONDITION.

In scores of places, all over Europe
and the United States, retreats for
laymen are held every summer and
thousands of professional and bust
ness men are making them annually.
"a retreat" says a recent writer who
has thorough knowledge of the sub
ject, lis quiet, deliberate taking
hold of oneself, a momentary halt in
the rush of events, an examination of
the course ahead and behind to find
out whether or not we are really on
the right track. Have you ever
watched an engineer about to start
out on a long run with a load of
human freight behind him in the
cars? He goes all over his engine,
every bar and bolt and wheel and
valve is carefully examined And why
all this care. Why? Because upon
that care depends the safety of the
passengers. A cracked wheel, loose
bolt or broken valve may spell ruin.
It is the same with life. A little dis
order now may ruin later on. Life
is a serious business whether we
know it or not. We are here now;
a few years ago we were not; short
time and we shall have passed away,
whittier? 1t will be just to that point
toward which we are now directing
our course. What man is, whence he
came and whittier he is tending are
tremendously important questions
which demand a straight fair and
square answer. Ignoring them will
not prevent the consequence of being
on the wrong course, for like them, or
not, facts are facts, and shutting our
eyes to them, strange to say, will not
destroy them. The ostrich buries his
head in the sand and fancies himself
safe; the fox gets himself out of the
way. Why not get right down to
business, face the truth manfully,
examine life honestly and see what
we are making of it. That is just
what a retreat is. And nowadays
they are open to all who desire to
make them"

The admirers of this grand delusion
will gradually have their eyes opened
when they read some of the great
works that have been published
and which completely demolish
the card-house of infidel higher criti-
cism. To mention only a few of these
works which the writer happens to
have at hand: James Orr, D. D.: The
Problem of the Old Testament, 1906;
William Henry Green, D. D.: The
Unity of the Book of Genesis, 1910;
and, The Higher Criticism of the

and, Die Genesis mach dem Literalsinn

Abraham Kuenen, of Leyden, was,
from about 1870 to 1880, next to Well

ITALY ANDsCIENT|FIC PROGRESS

In a recent lecture for the Ladies

Walsh spoke of "The Debt the World

he said, this is assumed to be very

almost as great as that in art. The
greatest philosopher in modern times,
the greatest mind since Aristotle is
Thomas Aquinas, and the roll of physi-
cal scientists has names equally COM

Pole, who was educated in Italy and
published the first draft of his theory
in that country. Calico is the great
est of observational astronomers, and
in our own time Father PiaZzi and
Father Secchi have been recognized as
workers whose results had world in
f1uence. Much Of our modern mathe-
matics comes to us through Italians.
Anatomy, botany, geology received
their greatest contributions from Italy.
Vesalius, the great father of anat-
omy, was not an Italian, but Belgian,
but he did all his work in Italy. His
greatest rivals in the field of anatomy,
Varolius, Eustachius, Columbus, Cae-
salpinus, Fallopius, are all Italians.
Malpighi, whose name is attached to
more structures in the human body
than any other, was an Italian. Nor

father of modern clinical medicine, are
