every one knows. requires heat.
Still another important factor
is the direction and force of
the wind. and this, too, requires
heat, for the winds will not
blow unless the temperature is diff
ferent at one place from what it is
at another any more than the air
will draw up a chimney when there
i. no fire in it.
Since then the heating of differ
ent parts of the earth and it's atmos-
phere to different temperatures is
the real cause OF the winds and of
all weather changes i, follows that
the moon and the planets can affect
the weather only so far as they
supply heat.
Now, according to accurate meas
ments made with the most delicate
instruments, the amol MT of heat
sent to the earth by all the planets
and also by the moon is insignifi-
cant iii comparison to the amount
that c0mes1from the sun. Hence
we could not expect either the
planets or. the moon appreciably to
feet the weather. They do not
supply enough heat, the one thing
that causes all our weather changes.
To most people the above reason
ing may seem quite sufficient and
conclusive, but there is still another
and an entirely different method of
testing the whole question. We c; n
observe the positions of the planets
and the kind of weather during
each position and see whether the
same sort of whether always comes
when the planets are in the same
position. This kind of examination
has often been made, both for the
planets aid for the moon, but not
the slightest influence of either up
on OR weather has ever been
found.
To SUM up: We have every
reason to believe that neither the
planets nor the moon can have any
appreciable effect on the weather,
because ley farnish so little heat
upon which all we her changes
ultimately depend, and This belief
IS fully suppUited by weather re-
cords.
The belief, still to- be found in all
countries, that the planets and the
moon do affect the weather never
had any scientific basis whatever;
it is only a remnant of the many
superstltiOns generated and fostered
by that other and greater s,ipesit-
ton, aStrology.-U. s. department

seems sometimes we must face it.
According to our capabilities we
will be held responsible. Gods call
to each one is Mine own with US
ury.'
In every life there is some capa-
city and it should be the aim of
every one to find and fulfill it. If
you feel it your responsibility to
uplift your interiors, do so. That
is your capacity and you should
fulfill it. Capacity is not only the
instrument with with thing is
done but it is the power by which a
thin may be accomplished. Ca
pacity means power
Each one has individual capabili-
ties. The variety is like the wide
field of grass in which no two blades
are alike. and. the many leaves on
the branches of the tree, each one
has has its own individuality. So
are men, no two are e xactly alike
IN every respect.
Some are endowed with artists
faculties and see the beauty in
music and poetry and others live
and enjoy a life of hard manual
labor. But no matter what sort of
life they live each individual is pos
sessed of personality and according
to his capabilities must render n
individual account before the
throne of God.
Each one is responsible for the
good he can do in life. Do every
thing good in life that is possible
Tor you to do. Shun the wicked
ness and vileness of the world and
look for the good in everything. If
we 60 through life looking for the
virtues of men we will find them:
if we look for the bad traits and
t; ults in men we will find them.
but we also find that our own char
acters are becoming weaker. fl
you acquaint yourself with the
good and pure things in life, then
your influence upon others will al
ways be good. And remember that
everyone is responsible Tor his ex.
emple, whether good or bad. That
hasty word of scorn flung from
your lips in company did not only
produce a momentary depression
but it 3eepened that mans disgust
at Goodness; it sharpened the edge
OF his sarcasm and produced an
influence, slight but eternal, on the
destiny of an immortal life. The
righteous is a guide to his neighbor

Each one is responsible for the

your reward will come sooner or |

certain piece of work and then see
something that some one else has
done that is a great deal better
than yours, of course you will be-
come discouraged, but you will
have a clear conscience that YOU
did your very best and you will be
rewarded just the same for YOUR
best as that person. for his best. No
matter how bad your best is. YOU
will gain credit, strenthen your
character, and produce an influence
upon man that will last forever
