Survival of Bodily Death

examined and reduced to order by the
methods of science carefully and per-

ed have convinced me that memory
and affection are not limited to that
association with matter by which
alone they can manifest themselves
here and now and that personality
persists beyond bodily death. The evil
dence, to my mind. goes to prove that
discarnate intelligence under certain
conditions may interact with us on the

IDEAL.

There are two kinds Of the
ideal. One tends toward express
sion; the other animates all kinds
Of labor and secures results.
When a practical man says he
can do without the ideal he does
not understand his business.
When a prosaic moralist says
the same and takes a contract to
reform or to esta blish he throws
up the material that he must
work in. 1t is Intangible. but
has a pressure of so many pounds

The most profitable reading in a
country newspaper, or any other pub
LEGATION for that matter, is often claim
ed to be contained III the advertising
appearing therein. Some time ago a
gentleman calling at this office COM
planned that while We had enlarged
the p0er two pages and raised the
price of subscription we mad filled the
additional pages with advertisements
instead of reading matter. We point
ed out that some of the ads, quoting
prices, afforded the reader an oppor-
tunity, in each issue. to save the cost
of a years subscription, especially as
the advertisements quoted prices on
every day necessities, if the read ~
would act on the suggestions made in
them. Taking up specific instances
we pointed out that prices quoted in
just one advertisement in one Issue
offered a saving on the average week >
expenditures in the articles quoted to
pay for the paper for whole year.
The paper. with all its faults and
with all its ads, is, therefore, not a
luxury but an actual investment pay
ing thousands of per cent in dividends
every year. Bank stocks. Standard
Oil or United Steel can't hold a
candle to it-they are completely back
ed off the board in comparison. We
recently published an article regard
ing home canning outfits that we feel
sure will result in saving of hun
dreds of dollars to the community
enough to buy the whole subscription
list of the paper for whole year.
Your home newspaper is an asset
to the community. In proportion as
it is patronized will it be able to prove
of use to its readers and the business
men carrying advertising. Its mis-
sion is to furnish the news of the com
munity and to help the buying and
selling public get together in business

From redmouthed monsters of the

With foreheads lifted to the sky.

Rich children OF million years.
We heirs of years beyond our ken
Have delved and wrought aspired,

And sown the earth with many men;
But man-God n man-has not ar
rived.
Still nurse we tiger hates of war.
Drown Gods own voice with market
cries.
Heap wealth that makes our brother
poor,
And feed his hungering soul with
lies.
Man that Gods million years ha, e

Still grovels With ignoble peers;-
We have not come unto our own,
We children OF million years.
But yet down vistals far we see
We move toward something great

Gagged by the greatness we shall be.
We see the meanness tnat we are.
Not vain the cosmic years contrive,
Not aimlessly Gods purpose steers;
When man-God's marshall once
