Disagree on Non Essentials Rather
 Than Essentials.

MT. Editor: The very lengthy letter of Mir Brown of the 18th inst. requires but a brief reply from Seeker After Truth" because there are but few points in this letter, although very much spread out.
 l will consider these points briefly.
 First-Mr. Brown questions my proof, which is that of actual knowl edge, as not being satisfactory to him. What better or stronger proof can any person give than that of his own knowledge in evidence on any sub ject? Any other evidence he might give would be hearsay, and would not be evidence at all I could give the testimony of many others to corrob- crate my own, but it would be only cumulative, and only be the actual knowledge of these men who would give the testimony. MT Brown would not believe them any more than he be- lieves me. Therefore, it would be useless to extend the line of test mony.
 Second-Mr. Brown. at great length attempts to show that my quotation ot the words of the Master, By their fruits ye shall know thern,'' have no bearing on the passage of Mark that he refers to, when the Master gave out the great command to preach the gospel and do the other things. In Matthew, the Master is giving the peo-
 
 whether a prophet is false or true, and it is by their fruits In Mark he gives the same test, for it is by their fruits that it is to be decided whether they are true or falsex believers, and 1t is by their works That they shall be | known It was the same test that was applied in the parable of the sheep and the goats. It was what the sheep had done that showed just as clearly their loyalty as what the goats had not done that showed their disloyalty to Him.
 MT. Brown speaks of the Fruit of the | Spirit as given by the Apostle. He says that the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Long Suffering, Gen | tleness, Goodness. Faithfulness, Meek ness, Self-control. Truly, these v1r- | tues are the fruit of the Spirit, but they are inward, and what is inward must | be manifested outwardly and then the world can see what the fruits of the within are by their manifestation in 1 the outer life.
 MT. Brown states that these works were only for the Apostolic time. 1 There is not a suggestion in the state 1 ments of the Master that there was l any time limit on His commands. He commanded that they should go into l all the world and preach the Gospel. He placed no limit on this to time, 1 and there is no limit on the other part 1 of the command any more than on the first part.
 The fact that soon after the church was secularized and the world passed through the dark ages" these powers were not manifested, is no evidence that they were limited to any time. On the contrary, the fact that these works are now being done by a multitude of teachers and healers shows that it was not for the Apostolic time, only, but for all time, until the race should be- come perfect.
 I cannot agree with MT. Brown that the Lord manifested these mighty works *as a concession to the moral weakness and Spiritual blindness of

Voices from the living room rose a trifle higher:
 .'oh!s said the feminine voice, a girlish treble, but you know you really are the best dancer, Arthur You are really wonderfull Why, I'd rather dance with you than with any of the other men in the club. You seem to know instinctively!"
 That's the reason I like best to dance with you,' responded the deeper voice. You are 8 peach of a dancer, Mabel. You're just like thistledownn
 Hear them," said Mabels mother in the library to her next door neigh bor Listen to them babbIe. Their conversation reminds me so of some thing or other-oh. yes, it is the talk that flies about at our grownup's dancing club! Nobody but married folks in that, you know! We talk just like that to each other. too maybe it sounds different to an out sider but we are just as loving and appreciatiye.
 Some philanthropist ought to in troduce a law making it a crime for a man to attempt to dance with his own wife nowadaysl There are more happy homes on the verge of disrup- old fashioned ideas of gallantry, than like to think about.
 .'Take a married couple who have lived together III peace TOT nfteen years-the kind of couple that get each others slippers and remember anniversaries and still kiss each other good-by mornings-put them in a dancing class together, and in two lessons they won't be speaking and in four one of them will be consulting a divorce lawyer
 There is something in these new dances that rouses awful antagonism. The one who can master them gets conceited, and the one who can't man. age the bowknots and twisted feet patterns gets sensitive and irritable, and the result is that the hall is trans formed into an arena filled with pranc- ing couples who are smiling at each other in that deadly, fixed way that means battle, murder and sudden death and who are calling each other my dear through their clinched teethi
 Jim and I started the castle walk at the last meeting real pleasantly, and then he switched one way and I the other, and we had to grab each others neck to escape a fall.

 No such thing-it goes this way!" he cried

and at last have fallen from their pedestrals, but Shakespeare remains, polished and perfect, the admiration of present day intelligence as much as when Ben Johnson sang his praise.
 He has been attacked and derided, his flaws have been pointed out. His very existence has been denied. But all the waves of criticism have beaten in vain upon the edifice of his fame. He remains to-day the greatest mas ter of the greatest language of history. There is no other author where you can find English in its ideal perfec- tion.
 Read your Shakespeare, young men and womenI If he boreS you it is for the same reason that the noble bores the low and narrow; read on, until you catch step with that majestic mind; read on and find your lttleness falling from you and your soul grow ing greatl

FRESH AIR.

Fresh air is one of the requisites for good health and it is important during all seasons of the year. It is from the lack of it during cold weather that many cases of sickness. loss of vitality and a susceptibility to cold results For the purpose of trying to keep down the large death rate from pneumonia, which however does not result entirely from lack of ventilation, the health board of Philadelphia in recognition of the value of fresh air as guard against i'll health has made these suggestions:
 Don't poison yourself with dirty air
 by staying in poorly ventilated, over heated, crowded, foul ul-smelling places. Fresh air does not cause pneumonia or any other disease, but is necessary for good health, in winter as well as in summer
 Don't injure your health and lower
 your vitality by overeating, or excesses of any kind
 Don't indulge to excess in alcoholic liquors. People who are addicted to alcohol reduce their resistance to pneumonia and increase the liability of death from it.
 Don't sleep with the bedroom win dows closed. Night air is purer than day air; it contains less dust and fewer
 germs.
 Don't sit around with wet feet, or
 | with wet clothing on.
 Don't forget that good general health, maintained at high standard by right living, is the best possible safeguard against pneumonia or any other infectious or contagious disease. There is unquestionably much good
 advice contained thereinJ It is the
 hot, unventilated room Shich offers the greatest contrast to the outside air.
 Fresh air does not necessarily mean a
 draft or a cold room, but it calls for
 a proper regard for ventilation.

HAS A LARGE VOCABULARY
Number OF Words Used by Small
Child VIII Surprise One Who
Is Not a Close Observer.

How many words does the ordinary
child know? Fifty? Wrong A hun
dred? Wrong again. Five hundred
for wild guess? A little nearer, bu,
not much. The truth is that people
underestimate the number Of word,
their children can speak.
Take q paper and pencil, follow the
child for several days, several weeks
putting down every new word that Il
uttered. You'll find out some things
that will surprise you. And when the
word "child" Is used, 1t does not refer
to boy or girl Of seven or eight. but
one of three.
An investigation recently made by
following child at that age and not
ing every word that was used, showed
that 1t had memorized LII different
words. They covered practically
everything with which the child came
I'm contact. and were words the child
had never heard before.
Another investigation OF words used
by children between 1 year and 19
months old showed that the lowest vo.
cabulary that was reported included
the use OF 60 words. The highest was
232 words. From two years on, the
vocabulary of child increases rapid.
ly, until at three years the average
child has vocabulary of at least 1000
words.

Simon White, of Central Lake, de-
serted his family some two weeks ago,
taking his seven-year-old son with him
and in company with l4-year-old girl,
whose home is near Central Lake, but
whose parents are working in one of
the East Jordan Lumber Co.'s camps
left for parts unknown. 1t was sever
al days before The authorities were
notified and for time it looked as If
search for them was fruitless. Last
Friday the girl and the boy turned up
at Alba and it developed that White
had attempted to get into Canada but
being turned back by the immigration
officials at Santa went to Grand Rapids
from which place he sent the children
home. Monday Sheriff Capin received
word from Grand Rapids that White
had been apprehended there and left
that afternoon to bring him back. The
warrant was issued on a complaint
charging wife desertion and will serve
to hold the fellow until further investi-
cation proves whether his offence has
not been OF more serious nature.
The trouble with some would-be gen
erous men is that they always leave
their money at home in their other
clothes.
Most of the troubles in this world is
due to the fact that about one-h9lf TIE
people in it are men and the other half
women.
The office never seeks the man with
half the persistency ola creditor on
the same mission.
