Editor The Georgian:
A Baptist minister. the Rev.
Robert ]. Huff, of College Park,
in a fit of Encouragement, at
tempts to take his own life and
almost succeeds. In coming back
to consciousness with new lease
on life, he pleads in extenuation
of his act the adverse environ
ments extending over months and
years of his life, claiming that
the causes leading to the act
made the act 1ustifiable and that
it would be forgiven by the AL
mighty. He also makes the claim
that a man can commit suicide
and not be forever lost.
AS a minister of the gospel of
Jesus Christ, desiring to uphold
the truth, / wish to demur to both
these arguments, and try to pre-
sent the truth in a different as
pect.
A sin was committed by his act
at self-destruction. Sin is par
donable only on conditions. He
took the poison and had he died
by his own act. there was no
chance to meet the conditions of
pardon for the act, but a lapse
into Inconsistencies The con-
ditions of pardon for sin are two:
repentance toward God and faith
in Jesus Christ. He did not meet
these essential New Testament
conditions of pardon for sin, and
hence he would have been con-
demned for self -murder-a sin he
did not repent of and could not
in state of Inconsistencies. The
Rev. Mr. Huff says he believed he

The Science of
History
BY REV. THos. B. GREGORY

THE publication 1S9 years ago
| OF Vico's Schema Nuova"
New Science" 49, cleared
the way for the mighty engine of
human thought now known as TIE
Philosophy of History" which, in
the hands of such men as Moe
tesquieu, Buckle, Leclky. Draper
and others, was TO work out such
splendid results.
Giovanni Battista Vico, the
son OF poor bookseller of Ma
pies was born in 1868. At an
early age he manifested the abil-
ity winch usually belongs only to
men OF mature age, and while
still a young man he demon
strated profound acquaintance
with history, philosophy, science
and Jurisprudence.
Vfco was the first TO ask:
Why have we a science OF ma
ture. but no science of history?"
and the Schema Nuova" was the
great mans answer to that all
important ques ion In the course
of his book he developed the idea
that man, as well as the material
world in the midst of which he
moves, is subject to lava law
Undertaking. immutahle, I'M
compromising. by which all hu-
man actions arc governed. and in
the light of which the history OF
those ections must be studied and
explained.
No man, not even the strong
est. casi altogether break away
from lis intellectual environment.
and this great italian was to the
last more or less dominated by
the conventiouS.ism OF the Mid
die Ages, whicn was still the
fashion Of the Gay; but in spite
OF all that he reached out for.
grasped and left behind him for
the help of future thinkers tee
material out Of which they were
10 construct along right lines the
majestic temple of historic truth.
Nearly the whole of Vico's life
was spent in Naples, in poverty
and loneliness. hut his name is
destined to outiive the social,
financial and official grandees of
his time.

Photographic galleries..
A.-The long, shining tubes are
mercury vapor arc lamps. Red
waves of light are almost totally
missing. The other colors are
present, but it requires the waves
of energy causing color sensa-
tons in the optic thalamus in the
brain to be present in all visible
lengths combined to make pure
white light. These are violet, in
digo, blue, green, yellow, orange
and red Take out any one of
these, let the others fall on any
object capable of rejecting them,
then the appearance will be
strange, unnatural and weird,
some say CHASTITY, and the human
face. does indeed look uncanny.
An immense number of photo
graphic experiments have been
made with every kind OF light,
visible and invisible, with start
ling results. Rays of all colors
have been allowed to fall on sur
faces of all other colors, a strange
new thing in optics. The result
ing rare and beautiful effects
have been viewed with the I'M

and then photographed.
Effects entirely new have been
discovered, and the fascination
of it all is now Turing leading
physicists into new corridors

of intricate processes hitherto
unknown short radiant-energy
waves have been discovered, far

itself, and strange chemical ac-
tivities have been thus detected

These newly discovered short
waves are themselves most ad-
mirable discoveries. A series OF
very remarkable substances has
been made by advanced expert

use new and extraordinary eff
fects are obtained. Any length
of waves can be sifted or filtered
out. and any series whatever can
be isolated and secured in a. state
of purity.

A friend writes Of his inability
to enjoy life because of his d.
gestive troubles.
This friend has been alwav,
most seif-indulgent; he has taken
stimulants to give him an appe-
tite, and spiced and savory dishe.
to satiate the appetite. And now
he is paying the penalty.
Here is a recipe for a simpi.
method OF home cure; yet 1t i,
doubtful If this slave to his ap-
petite win have the strength o,
character to put 1t to the test
Fast wholly for two DAYS;
drinking a glass Of hot water in
the morning and glass Of mod
erately cold water (not iced)
every hour.
The fast WIFI not be dificur.
Many people have pursued their
usual avocations during longer
fasts, and felt no weakness or
other annoyance.
The third morning substitute a
glass of half and half hot milk
and water. And during the day
drink three more glasses.
The fourth day take two raw
eggs, and drink the hot milk and
water at intervals.
The fifth day drink two quart.
of the milk, and take the raw
eggs if there is a desire for mors
nourishment.
The sixth day repeat the diet.
and on the seventh all physical
Ills will be memories unless there
is a more serious condition which
needs three or four weeks con-
tinuance of milk diet. In that
case 1t is well to go into q milk
Sanitarium.
Simple as this experiment Is,
not one ailing Individual in
score has the will power or self
control sufficiently developed to
carry 1t out.
To live entirely for n few
days On any plain food. and to
drink quantity of water at in
tervals, will act as a cure to nu-
merous maladies. But the slavs
of his appetites must first be-
come master.

II VERY individual would be
r. benefited by fasting one
day out of each seven.
If we believed that the com
mand to labor six days and rest
the seventh was given to the di-
gestive organs as well as to the
limbs and brain, the world would
contain fewer invalids.
If we understood the command,
Thou shalt have no other gods
before Me-" applied to the appe-
tites, as well as to the religious
ideals, much misery might be
saved us.
Scores Of people place stimu-.
lants and foods so prominently in
the foreground that God is hid
den from view.
A woman who. believed her
self religious declared she would
rather ole at once than live on
earth if she must give up what
she liked to eat and drink and
take to a diet of any kind.
Coffee was her little god; and
she found no interest in day
if she was deprived of her bev-
erage
The moment we depend on one
thing to eat or drink as an abso-
lutte necessity to our happiness
and comfort, we are on the way
to ll-health.
1t is not normal condition.
And it is not a dignified posi-
ton for sane, grown, educated,
wholesome minded man or wom-
an.
To be the slave Of anything is
to prove we are not masters
And man was meant to be mas
ter of himself and of his envi-
ronment.
We all need food and drink to
sustain life; but the moment we
need ONE ARTICLE OF FOOD
OR ONE SPECIAL DRINK in
order to feel well or be happy.
we are slaves of a habit, and
should take ourselves in hand.
Therefore, it is good to take q,
fast now and then, to prove to
ourselves we are not such slaves,
and to make ourselves masters OF
our own appetites.

ALONE
BY Lillian LAUFERTY.

TITO be alone in the wilderness
l. Vast plains where no feet have trcd.
Alone in the vast sky spaces,
Is to be alone with God.
But to be alone in the city,
Where human tides sweep by,
Nor stop to learn your heart
Or mark your longing cry;
In solitude, mid nte and tcv.
Alone to sob for breath
To whine in the close-packed plao.,
Is to be alons-wtth Death
To be alone with the tigness
That streams to a starlit goal
Is never to be alone, but dwell
With God-and yeuy own strong soul

Not every fellow with a large
shoe con leave those footprints
in the sands OF time.
II IS better for the hero 10 live
for his country than 10 die for It.
Every man can give advice like
a philosopher when the other fell
low has the toothache.
In spite of the fact that igno-
rance is bliss a lot OF people are
continually trying TO educate us.
Patient listeners stimulate elo-

Don't be deceived by his shaking white head;

Tell him that we will attend to his case
When we find out il his story is true.

significant thing about this great
gloriflcation Of the woman's cause Is
that men are responsible for 1t. The
pageant Is presented by the Mems
League for Woman Suffrage OF the
State OF New York.
A few years ago II was Q brave
man who dared to confess, even
among his intimates. his belief in the
essential Justice Of votes for women.
I do not think that American men,
Is q group. have ever been such
rabid ants as English men, perhaps
because the Americans attitude
toward his women-folk Is more hu-
man, not to say humane. The Brit
ish husband has always seemed to
me at least as uncivilized a phe-
nomenon as the British militant.
But the American males outspoken
advocacy Of female suffrage is OF
recent date. and quite surpa sses It.
self in the coming celebration.
The pageant was written by Miss
Hazel Mackaye. sister Of the poet and
dramatist. Percy Mackaye. II repre-
sents six periods of American life,
past. present and future. In It will
appear Indians. Pilgrims. Colonists,
slaves. soldiers, housewives. milk
maids. woodmen. nurses. black
smiths and many other deliberately
costumed figures. Society women.
Columbia students, authors. artists,
wage-earners. business men. SUI
fragists Of every class and creed,
make up the cast.
LIVING PICTURE DEPICTING THE
PAST AND THE FUTURE.
A huge living picture of American
womanhood from before-written his

before the arrival OF Europeans. 4

away she is called back to work.
Then Indians from another tribe
appear and trading begins. An old
medicine man has some particularly
beautiful skins. and the chief Of the
first party covets them. He makes va
rious offers d at last nonchalantly
throws In his daughter as a part Of
the purchase price. Despite her re-
bellious grief she is borne OF by tie
