and bring my spirits in contact with
the vital currents. We cannot pursue
any natural study with love and en-
thusiasm without the object of 1t be.
coming part of our lives. The birds,
the flowers, the trees, the rocks, all
become linked with our lives and hold
the key to our thoughts and emotions.

erything"-in all natural processes
and products-not the good" Of the
Sunday school books, but the good Of
natural law and order, the good Of
that system of things out of which we
came and which is the source of our
health and strength. 1t is good that
IRE should burn, even II 1t consumes
your house; 1t is good that force
should crush. even II It brushes you;
1t is good that rain should fall, even
II 1t destroys your crops or floods
your land. ..

The show and splendor Of great

They fix the attention upon false val

struggle OF the Serbs for unity and
freedom. Austria, through her poses
sions OF Servian provinces, effectually

The impassioned rage of the Serv-
ians because since they have thrown
off the yoke OF the Turk in territory
once held by the Sultan, they have
been unable to win one foot of ground
or single subject from the dual mon

so much so, in fact, that after having

mother was at last forced to severe

Willie's eyes were suspiciously red.
What's the matter, sonny?" he
cried
"Oh, nothing" responded Willie,
uneasily.
