nificance of the window that opened
toward Jerusalem. 1t is not that the
Holy City could be better seen, nor
God more readily detected, nor Dan
ieIs prayers more quickly heard and
answered. But the significant thing Is
to have no obstacle between the soul
and God. Throw open the windows
that truth may come i'm, and the hum

We have no occasion for alarm.
Wherever worlds have been found the
Kings writ of righteous control

Taken all i'm ALL when the entire sys-
TEN is held in right perspective, there
will not be so many lamentations from
those who are disposed to brwl de

At this hour, when some fashion
able philosophers are nothing more
sor less than their sentimentaIitios,
it is impossible for us to oycrpraise
the truly balanced life that is held
i'm the grasp of eternal righteous
ness.
During the last century there was
a very carnival of loud talking skepti-
cism, i'm which these doubling Thorn
asses imagined that they had buried
Christianity beyond the power Of

themselves have been ground To pow
