Making Your Own Home

If you believed that a great spirit
ual being were about To come TO the
world, how would YOU vary your life
from your present way of living?
Would you not do away with very
many of your present narrow ideas
and needless efforts and reduce this
life to a science? Would YOU not rid
your heart of prejudices and dislikes,
envies and jealousies, and try and
keep the channel of your mind clear
for the waters of love and faith?
1t does not seem that the great
Master would want us to give up our
daily duties. our wholesome pleasures,
or our rightful occupation in order
to live a life in accordance with His
Coming. 1t is more reasonable 90
suppose that He would only expect us
to give up our faults, our follies and
our weaknesses, while we kept about
our worldly affairs. We are sent into

to the highest possibilities within us.
Does Not Mean We Must Give Up All
Our Worldly Pleasures.
This does not mean that we are all
intended to live the lives of saints
upon earth, giving up all worldly
pleasures and dwelling in caves or
cells or starving or torturing the
body to prove that we believe only
in spiritual things. People who go TO
these extremes may be rebuked when
the Master comes because they have
not lived normal, natural lives and
helped one another along the high
wavs Of the world.

500 ARE SEEKING CITY JOBS
Scranton Mayors Plan to Aid Unem-
Moved Draws Army

Scranton, Pa, Jan. 30.-More than
500 men to-day stormed city hall in an
effort to get a job under Mayor E. B.
Jermyn's plan to lay off city employees
so as to take care of the unemployed.
None of them were given places, but
their names and addresses were taken
down for action later.
The mayor has decided to try out
his plan in spite of the antagonism of
officers of the Central Labor Union,
who are demanding that he and other
city officials prove their good faith by
donating half of their salaries to sue
coring the jobless Many of the appli-
cants to-day. it was found, hold other
jobs. but decided that working for the
city would be more desirable.

DO you know that the sun passes
into a new sign of the zodiac at the
equinox once in two thousand one
hundred and sixty years?
This is what a very great scholar
and physicist, Sidney G. p. Coryn,
tells US. And it has been the history
of the world at each one of those
periods some new phase of religion
appears in the world.
In his interesting article Mr.. Coryn
says:
About six thousand years ago exist
ed the reign of the bull-headed gods,
because the sun had entered the sign
of Taurus, the bull, and they per-
sisted for over two thousand years,
and then gave place &c the ram
headed gods. and they endured for
another two thousand years And
then Egypt herself came to an end:
and, TO find the continuation of the
system, we have to betake ourselves
TO Galilee. where Jesus the Christ
was born under the sign Of fishes.
Tombs in Catacombs Bear Scuiptured
Signs of Fishes.
You remember the advice given
TO the early Christians by one of the
fathers, that if they would make an
image of their Lord. let it be in the
form OF fish or of a ship running
before the wind. And in the cata-
combs OF Rome we find many a tomb
bearing the sculptured sign of the
fishes. or pisces.
Jonah, you will remember, was
thrown up by the great fish. When
Jesus wished TO feed the multitude
he gave them fishes. The change of the
cyclic gods meant that a new spiritual
force had entered the world. 1t was
the Messianic Cycle, and we may be-
lieve that in all cases it was signalized
sy the appearance Of a teacher as
Nell as by cataClysms. great or small.

OF a new thought
Jesus came when the sun passed
into the sign of the fishes. two thou
sand years ago. The sun is now pass
ing into the sign of Acquarius There
fore. il may be that we should do
well to watch and pray, for in an
hour we know not the Son OF Man
cometh. Indeed. the decks seem to
be cleared for some great arrival"
Impression of Many That New Master
Is Soon to Make His Advent.
tt seems to be the prevailing i'm
preston Of a great many spiritual
minds that a new Teacher and new
Master is soon to make his advent
among us. Some believe it is the
second coming of the last Of the Mas
ters, Christ. Many believe that all
the great teachers who have come
have been one spirit reincarnated in
different bodies.

Here is the latest and surely one of the
prettiesr developments of the two-piece
skirt which provides comfortable width
and graceful folds. If the seams arc
stitched from top to bottom. it becomes
scEii-cirCular in shape, but there are eX-
tensions on the side edges that can ba
used to form inverted piaits. Really, that
means two skirts III place of one, and the
styles are essentially different. The skirt
is an extremely simple one to make, be-
sides being new and smart, and since it
can be finished either at the high or ths
natural wlist-line it can be adapted to any
figure. It is appropriate for all heavy
and medium weight materials. The cot
tons and the linens that are being made
UP at this season are admirable treated in
this way, and both silk and wool suitings
are handsome so made. There being only
the two seams, there is very little labor
required.
For the I6-year size will be needed 4
yards oil material II inches wide, 24
yards 80, or 4a, or so. The width Of the
skirt is - yards before the plaits are laid.

Audacity of Woman Spies.

A climax to the audacity of spies Is said to have been reached in the case of a woman pretending to be English and giving her name as Miss Booth. who. in connection with another wom- an calling herself Baroness de Rosen, organized a charitable work at the Care du Nord, in Paris, which they called For the Wounded and for the Refugees" The former, suspected of illicit communication with the Ger mans, passed before a court-martiai and was sentenced to two years inn prisonment, while the latter. against whom no tangible proof could be pro- duced was invited to leave French ter ritory within AS hours.

 we shall see afterwards" he laughed.
 A dozen times was the old wood cut ter questioned, but he stubbornly re- fused to admit that he had ever set eyes upon Elma. 1 knew, of course, by what we had overheard said by the prison guards, that the governor gen. eral was extremely anxious to recap ture the girl with whom, frankly ad- nit, I had now so utterly fallen in love. And it appeared that no effort was being spared to search for us. But what could be the truth of Elmas dis appearance? Had she fled of her own accord, or had she once more fallen a victim to some ingenious and das- tardly plot. That gray dress of hers might, recollected, betray her if she dared to venture near any town, while her affliction would, of itself, be plain evidence of identification All I hoped was that she had gone and hidden herself in the forest somewhere in the vicinity to wait until the danger ot recapture had passed.
 For as long as possible I succeeded in delaying our departure, but al length, just as the yellow sun began to struggle through the gray clouds we were all three compelled to depart in sorrowful procession.
