One hundred years ago Alexander l
OF Russia, the king OF Prussia and
other sovereigns. accompanied by a
large retinue Of diplomatists and SOL

Vienna to take part In the congress
which was to readjust the map Of
Europe. The thrones which Napoleon
had overturned were to be righted and
the old despots whom he had dis
missed were to be given back their
scepters. The first weeks OF the con-
gress, however. were not devoted to
the serious business at hand. but were
spent in a succession OF magnificent
festivities. Notwithstanding the finan-
cial ruin of the country. Austria ap-
propriated sums amounting to thou

Denver.-Small unirrigated farms
near Denver have returned large prof
its during the 1914 season, and an IN
creasing demand for these tracts Is
noticeable in the local market, accord
ing to realty men. With relatively
small investments, farmers are re-
porting revenues ranging from $1,000
to $1,000 and $500 a year, against
which they are obliged to make no
charge for the support of themselves
and their families, milk, butter, eggs,
garden truck and. In many cases. beef
and pork being produced on their own
property for home consumption.
Even farmers who are renting their
places are doing well, according to re-
ports received by C. r. Stedman, chair
man OF the special advertising COM
mittee of the Real Estate exchange.
One farmer who lives thirteen miles
northeast of Denver. on an unirrigated
farm OF 120 acres on which he pays an
annual rental of $3.50, reported rev.
enue for the year of $1,000. He has
raised ten acres OF beets. which will
net $50 an acre or about 5000; forty
acres OF corn which will net $500
through feeding or about $40 an acre,
and about 5000 worth Of eggs from
100 chickens.
In addition he will have profits
from stock which run over the re-
naming seventy acres Of his tract.
Last year this farmer lived on an
adjoining farm, MIXED thirty cows,
shipped the milk to Denver and re-
celved an average income Of $3.50 a
month for twelve months. or about $50
per COW per year.

by Jesus in this connection. Most
of us shrink from talking about it.
Some superficial thinkers repudiate
1t altogether. But Jesus said that
there came time when the gate was
shut. Then they who had spurned
its open invitation began to hammer
frantically for admittance. But they
could only look in from without, and
know themselves rejected.
Awful. We shudder at the pic
ture. Yet few minutes of honest
thinking shows us that this is not
only just. but inevitable. If all who
despised and flouted O. householder
were to be permitted to make them
selves His guests, whenever and how
ever they pleased, the home would
cease to be his and become theirs. II
would lose the character he gave it,
and take on the lawlessness of his
enemies. If the wicked were permit
ted to enter Heaven and have their
unchanged way there, how soon would
Heaven become like hell? All the i'm
plications of a moral law require that
the door must be shut against those
who will not heed the conditions of
admittance. The shut door is a pos

The Narrow Gate
Some folk are not pleased with
Jesus because He is too much OF q
democrat. He does not make allow
ances" for a mans social or financial
Importance, but insists upon treating
all men in the same way. Thus, He
has neglected utterly to provide a
special entrance into His kingdom
for automobiles and Pullman cars.
He frankly says that the door is
a narrow one-such as the little chill
dren, and the unencumbered, may
pass through easily. But, the man
with a great pack of goods cannot get
through. AS for the person who will
not surrender his bulky holdings of
wealth, of pride, of sin, of self-right-
eousness, of good deeds made for
mans eyes-well, there simply is no
admittance for that man. The king
dom is made up of those who can
pass throught the gate.
OF course, that is so of all king
doms-the kingdom of good society
of public usefulness, of knowledge
and of friendship. There must be a
giving up before there can be a 60
ing up. Sacrifice is the admission fee
to all portals. They who will not sur
render time, ease, self-indulgence, ig-
norance or bad manners, cannot hope
to ascend into any of the Kingdoms
of success. otherwise the unfit and
the uncongenial would swamp all the
places of responsibility. and chaos
would result. Heaven must be made
up of the heavenly. else 1t would moi
be Heaven. So while Its gate is open
1t is also narrow.
When the Door Is Shut
A terrible possibility was suggested
