"The Lord hath spoken this word" "
Isaiah xxiv. 1-12
"The Lord hath spoken this word,
and Il is word of judgment. 1T
unveils some of the terrible issues
OF sin.
See the effects of sin upon the
spirit OF man. "rhe merry-hearted
do sigh" Life loses It's wings and
its song. The buoyancy and the opti-
mism die out of the soul. The days
move with heavy feet, and duty be-
comes very stale and unwelcOme. If
only our ears were keen enough we
should hear many a place of hollow
laughter moaning with troubled and
restless sighs. The soul cannot
cannot sing when God is dehed
But see another effect Of sin. THE
earth moaneth." That Is a frequent
note in Bible teaching. The forces
OF nature are mysteriously condi-
toned by the character Of man.
When man is degraded, nature is
despoiled The beauty OF the gar
den is checked when man has lost
his crown. "rhe whole creation
groaneth in pain" waiting for the
manifestation OF the children of God.
Sin spreads desolation everywhere.
When | sin, ] become the centre OF
demoralizing forces which influence
the universe. And so let me ever
pray, Deliver me from evil"

PAT AND
BYGONE DAYS
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
By JAMES T. CROZIER.

Well, Pat, we met the enemy,
! kind of guess we're theirs.
But be like him who lost that fish,
Say who the mischief cares.
Don't worry, Pat, or lose your sleep
For that would not become
A man like you-who is true blue,
Who lost by just one run.
You done your best, that's certain
sure,
And cannot be denied:
You played before a lady,
Who will soon become a bride
And that was honor. don't forget,
None ever had before,
So when you think about your loss,
Let that fact help your sore.
l was a fan for you, that's sure.
And hoped you'd win the cake,
But let me say. the losers share
VIII not be hard to take.
Il sure will help you lay in coal,
And help 10 buy your food.
II worry comes about your loss,
VIII help you TO feel good.
Take this advice. YOU and your boys.
Just let the matter rest;
/ The fans who rooted for the Phils.
All know you done your best
One club must lose, we all know that
That thing was sure TO be,
| And yet tho loss. not near so bad
AS that across the sea.

How Is il with thy soul?
As thou lifc's paths doth tread
Art thou reaching for the heavily
goal,
or wandering through darkness in
stead?
Hast thou been made by Jesus blood,
Spotless, whittier than snow;
On art thou sinking i'm deaths flood
While sin DER thee doth lowg
How is il with thy soul2
This life is but a breath,
Hath the Saviour cleansed and made
thee whole,
Or art thou counting eternal death?
Jesus called thee. is calling still,
"Come unto Me and rest;"
Convert thysolf, accept His will,
Be numbered with the blest
How is II with thy soul2
Doth peace in thee abound,
Hast thou given Jesus full control
Or is there hidden sin to he found?
To gain the crown reserved FOR thee.
And live forever more.
Thou must be pure thou must be
free,
Thou must thy God adore.

University Summer Session
Opens June Fl.

MADISON. Wis, June THE seven
teenth summer session of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin opens June 81, 1915.
The session lasts six weeks and closes
July 80, except in the law school,
where the session lasts ten weeks and
closes August 81.
The large number of graduate courses
and the ample provision for investiga-
ton afforded by the laboratories and
libraries at Madison make the summer
sessions exceptionally profitable for Sc
rious work. High school instructors
who desire to test their qualifications
for graduate work, and ultimately for
college teaching, have unique oppor-
tunity at this time. The regulations of
the university for granting the master s
degree to study in summer sessions and
studying in absentia during the inter-
vening months is of special interest to
graduates engaged in Institutional
work. Students who desire to carry on

Valuable Borneo Timber.

The most valuable Of all BOrneo
timber is billian, or ironwood. This
is an extremely hard timber, sand-col-
ored when newly cut, but darkens with
age. 1t is SO heavy that it sinks In
water, and for that reason cannot be
RATED down the rivers. About two
inches of the outside of the tree is
soft and worthless, but the inside can
pose where a Solid. strong and dur
able wood is required.
