KEEP THE MIND ALERT
LACK OF MENTAL OCCUPATION
ALWAYS A MENACE.
No One Should Leave His Hind the
Sport and Prey of Evil infiu-
ences Through Lack Of
Occupation.

In a somewhat unsayory divorce
case famous expert testified that the
woman was suffering from a mental
vacuum" When, on leaving the stand.
he was asked what he meant, he said;
"A mental vacuum is space created
In a persons mind by lack of some oe-
cupation or condition of environment
which would naturally fill it,
That there can be such thing as.
at least, a partial mental vacuum, !
will hardly be denied. But many will
doubt whether. as was argued in this
case. vacuum can be created in the
mind OF one person by the action OF
another. Those who are familiar with
their New Testament will recall the
story of the soul from which the evil
spirits had been driven out. Here it
is: when the unclean spirit is gone
out of a man, he walaeth through dry
places, seeking rest: and finding none.
he saith, will return unto my house
whence ! came out. And when he
cometh. he findeth 1t swept and gar
nished. Then goeth he, and takeIh to
him seven other spirits more wretched
than himself; and they enter in, and
dwell there; and the last state OF that
man is worse than the first"
Here was a soul vacuum" created
by the expulsion OF evil And evil re-
turned with greatly reinforced
strength. 1t is precisely go with a
mental vacuum" 1t can be filled. and
must be filled If ruin is to be avoided
No one need leave his mind the sport
and prey OF evil influences. But the
only way to exclude those influences
is to keep the mind filled with noble
| thoughts and sound learning. 1t is
| the emptiness that invites and prac
! tically insures invasion. And the emp
\ tiness is the result, not Of the activity
OF another, but. of ones own neglect
i Men are very largely what they arr
because of what they think. This was
recognized by the apostle, and his
words are true, whether applied to thu
\ Intellectual or the spiritual life. i
character Is nodded by thought the
thought must be lofty If the character
is to be lofty. So we have this advice
from the apostle: whatsoever thing;
are true, whatsoever things are hon
est, whatsoever things are just what
soeyer things are pure. whatsoever
things are lovely. whatsoever things
are of good report: if there be any vir
tue, and If there be any praise, thinl
on these things"
We doubt whether there can be sucl
thing as an absolute mental vac
uun,s that is, a wholly tenanties
\ mind, so empty as to be widely open T.
n evil. 1t must be filled. and with thing
that are true. lovely and of good re
port. Otherwise IL will become tn
slave OF other influences. 1t is no
enough to cease to do evil"-me

In the presence of good. That is tn

PULLING ANCHOR ICE.
Its Formation Seems Contrary to the
Laws of Nature.

lts Formation Seems Contrary to ths
Laws of Nature.
Anchor ice is the popular name given
in many parts of this country to the
Ice formed at the bottom of swiftly
running streams. This Ice usually
forms about stones and logs where the
current Is disturbed What gives it
interest is the circumstance that Its
formation seems to be contrary to the
Jaws that govern freezing water
We know that In still water ice be-
gins to form on the surface. We are
told that In cooling down to 80 degrees
H. water contracts and that its specific
gravity increases so that the colder wa
Ter will be nj the bottom But in cool
ing from 80 degrees down to 80 de
grees the water expands. and the cold
est water will be at the top aud freez
ing will begin there IL the surface
is disturbed by wind or by current the
crystals cannot attach themselves and
Ice does not form. though the water
be cooled below the freezing point.
1t Is In these circumstances that ice
zling features Of this formation is that
1t forms where the lower currents seem
most disturbed
The watermen of various localities
believe in the possibility Of the water
freezing at the bottom of a river, the
surface remaining fluid They assert
that boat hooks. eel picks. etc, con
stantly come in contact with a coating
Of ice at the bottom and that large
masses Of Ice are often seen rising to
the surface with mud. weeds and stone
adhering Millers have asserted that
the wheels of their water mills have
become frozen TO the bottom of the
stream while the surface of the water
was still unfrozen. -Harper's Weekly.

am not forgetting, said the speak
err, that our text proffers Divine bless
ings only to believers. Neither am l
forgetting that only a few are bellev-
ers In the Scriptural sense now. Sta
tistics mention four hundred millions
of Christians; but, as we all know, this
Includes practically everybody in Eu-
rope and America. with few I'm Asia
and Africa. 1t includes many in pris-
ons and insane asylums, penitentiaries,
etc. And that leaves three times as
many whom we call heather, who have
no knowledge of Christ whatever
twelve hundred millions. Surely none
of these are believers in the sense de-
fined by Jesus and the Apostles
Jesus implies that If any one really
believes His Message, his faith will
transform his whole life-he would see
so great a blessing promised TO the
faithful follower Of Jesus that he
would count all other aims and ambi-
tons as loss and dross-and run with
patience the race set before him. Only
these are believers, and they are CON-
paratively few. They are a fine com
pany. They will get the prize. the
pearl of great price" the Kingdom
joint -heirship with the Redeemer in
His glory, honor and Immortality.
But are no others to be blessed? If
not, why did Jesus taste death for ev-
cry man? Does not that expression
imply that every man will have some
opportunity of profiting by Jesus
death? 1t surely does Those who
now hear, appreciate, believe. In the
Bible sense, alone will have an oppor
tunity for sharing the First Resurrec-
ton of the blessed and holy. But the
remainder, we are assured, will all
come forth from the tomb-to be grant
ed an opportunity then for hearing and
believing and gaining an inferior bless
ing. The blessing now is spiritual
