 Sometimes the means for fulfilling our desires are quite the opposite of what we expect. Sometimes we n1ust'~be patient for years. but to be anxious is to doubt Gods word.

 been times when you have wondered
 why your feelings have so suddenly changed, when you have been lifted from a fit of sadness or perhaps of despondency into a feeling of gladness
 when sweetness and rest seemed sud denly to accompany the very work that before was dull and irks0me Then you have become conscious that stralns Of sweet music were wearing themselves into your work and carry ing themselves into your own work and carrying you with them on their heavenward way. When sweet har- monies from without can so trans form the appearance of life for the moment how much more can the hea- venly harmony within. that issues from the very heart of God, lift us up above the struggles and hardships of life into the serenity and peace of heaven.
 It may be asked If Christ in the heart makes life a wonderful har- mony that carries you onward, how is it that many Christians have such hard lives; how is it that they must often endure things that seem un- bearable? If we look at the heart life. we see that Christ has the power to lift up his own and to carry them over things that without him would mean despair. For the heart where He fully reigns. He truly carries the burdens and bears the sorrows, When | thou passest through the waters I will | be with thee, and through the rivers | they shall not overflow thee.''
 It is belief in the promises that | saves from the discords. Jesus said: | As thou hast believed, so be it done | unto thee" According to your faith | be it unto you.'

Former City Health Officer Returns from Attending Meetings of National As sociation of Health Of ficerS

Dr. S Edward s. Godfrey. former city health officer, returned from Rochester, x. Y. last evening, after at tending the sessions of the American Public Health Association on Septem- Der 6 to 10, at that place. Dr. Godfrey reported very pleasant and instructive trip. About 900 to 1900 public health officers from all over the country attended. The western part of the country was well represented. Dr. Godfrey and Dr. LOoney, state health officer. did the honOrs for the southwest.
 A number of important papers were read. following which a general discus sion was indulged in. It was the gen eral concensus of the convention that all milk should be pasteurized. It was also generally agreed upon that the Immigration of clothes and houses fol- lowing a case Of contagious disease was unnecessary. Especially has this been proven in this part of the country. Rochester and New York City have both eliminated this practice and re- ported satisfactory results.
 Publicity was also taken up by the

He then relaxed into his hobby of single tax and gave the assembly an insight into it's mysteries. The presi- dents address was most interesting and brought forth much favorable comment. The doctors attending were entertained with a lavish hand
 Among the social affairs furnished for their pleasure was reception to Governor Whitman. They were in vited 10 make inspections of the large factories in the city. and many of the doctors took advantaee to get an in sight into the manufacturing of the Eastman Kodaks.

the realization that there is no evil in the sufferings There shall no evil befau thee.' Our light afflic- tion which is but flor a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" Not all the glory is in heaven. How soon the glory will begin to appear depends upon how resolutely we meet the affliction with the weapon of faith. Making the worst of our troubles surely will not work for us far more exceeding anu eternal weight of glory, but overcoming them in the thought that Christ saves us from them.
 When the trouble is the wrong doing of our loved ones we can rest on the promises, assured that God will bring the time when they will see it as we see it; just as Jesus knew that one day Jerusalem would call him blessed.
 I know a woman who is saint, but l think she became such late in life. Her son was a man forty years old and thoroughly bad. She didn't know where he was, but she kept praying for him, and at last with a superhuman will to believe she got the assurance that her prayer was answered In a few days she re- ceived a repentant letter from her son. He turned from his wicked life, and came to his mother a saved man. Unanswered yet? Nay do not say
 ungranted Perhaps your part is not yet wholly
 done.
 The work began when first your
 prayer was uttered, And God will finish what He has If you will keep the incense burning
 there;
 His glory you shall see sometime
 somewhere"

 If what weN trust for took shape before us instantly, there soon would be no trust. Faith is the sub stance of things hoped for the evi- dence of things not seen" Christ em- phasized this need for patience byl the story of the unjust judge, who would not aVenge the widow until induced by the trouble of her con- tinual coming. And the Lord said, hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you he will aVenge them speedily

Eyes, you have the name and you
wear it proudly, more so, perhaps,
than if you knew that it is all you
have from Dick Waverly.
you certainly have not his love,
for that which he calls love is distrib-

am one of the fifty-seVen varieties.
You have not his consideration, for
he leaves you to take what pleasure
you may among your friends, while
he drinks and carouses with men and
women he would not introduce to
you.
HE is not true to you in word,
thought or deed; neither is he true
to that old love of his, Eleanor Fair

not of you-you white, inpregnable
woman-but of us. But for us-not

Christmas Mail
to Occupy Armory
One Hundred Extra Clerks on
Roller Skates Will Handle
Santa Claus Gifts

crease Delivery Facilities

Santa Claus already has scored
a big victory in St. Paul, through
which he will occupy the Ar
mory at Exchange and Sixth
streets at Christmas time. A re-
enforcement of 100 extra mail
distributors, on roller skates, al
so will occupy the building.
Through the courtesy of Col
onel George G.. Lambert and Ma
jor George K. Sheppard of the
Armory board, Postmaster
Raths mas procured the use of
the armory for handling parcel
post matter for distribution in
ST. Paul December Fl to 20, in
elusive. This will give the To-
cal postofice 10000 square feet
of extra space, and enable it to
handle all incoming parcel post
matter with expedition.
The big gallery will be thrown
open to visitors, who will see
how Christmas mail is distrib-
uted.
Parcel post matter last Christ
mas was about 1900 sacks a
day. This year it is estimated
that net fewer than 1900 sacks
a day will be received.
The postoffice will put on sew
en- additional automobiles at the
Christmas season, making the
total for mail delivery nineteen,
and thirty-seven additional
horse-drawn rigs, making the
total sixty-seven. st. Paul Dis
