III Temper and Hatred
Are Sins Deserving
Punishment.

People who live together and
indulge in quarrels and bitter
feelings, and angry or sulleu
moods, are making purgatorie.
for themselves and others here nm
earth and in realms beyond; for
just as we fashion our lives here
and now SO will be the life be-
yond when we pass from the
body.
1t is sad to think OF tho
wretched hate bound life this
daughter is fashioning for her
self. and on the misery she must
endure when she goes into the
next state of consciousness and
realizes the enormity of her sin.
For lll-temper, anger. discord
hatred and all its attendant evils
are crying sins, and must bring
their bitter punishment.
As we SOW, we must reap.
Unless we are making happy
homes for ourselves and other
people here to-day In this world
We will not be given happy con
ditions beyond. Do everything
you can to produce peace, and
pleasure. and contentment, and
happiness in your home; If you
fail because of the unkindness OF
some other member of the house
hold, your efforts are nevertheless
being materialized in the Invisi-
BILE Realms. and the home you de-
sire is being formed for you.
But if after doing your utmost
for years, as this mother says she
has done, there is no happiness to
be found under the roof. get from
under that roof and start home
elsewhere If it is within the realm
of the possible-and all things are
possible to a determined soul.

revenue collectors throughput the coun-
try had notice to-day from the internal
revenue bureau that the government
does not intend to prosecute anyone
subject to the war revenue law who
shows willingness and readiness to
buy the new tax stamps.
This notice was sent out to allay the
fears on the part of thousands all over
the country who yesterday besieged the
internal revenue office in an attempt to
obtain stamps to comply with the law,
and who, because of their inability to do
SO, become frightened over what might
Happen in the event that they We're not
on the minute withe their itamping.
That there was no need of such fears
was made clear in telegram which
Commissioner Osborn of the internal
revenue bureau sent to all collectors
in response to frantic calls of collectors,
who told of crowds rusning to their
Offices demanding 1tamps. It was hoped
by the officials that this notice would
relieve the situation, which gave indi-
cations of causing embarrassment to
and which also might have
in considerable confusion to
and shippers.
