LIFE IN H SEA.
It Exceeds That Of the Land, Square
Mile For Square Mile.


Mile For Square Mile.
The sea teens with plants and ami
mails, and it has been estimated that
the amount Of life in the sea exceeds
that of the land. square mile for square
mile. Animal life is found nearly ev-
erywhere, even at the greatest depth:
but it fourishes best at or near the
shore. On the other hand, plant life
seems to be absent over the bottoms
the surface. where the sunlight plays
an important part in its growth.
1t is believed that the original forms
of life began in the ocean many mil
lion years ago. and at no time since has
life there ceased. Many OF the earliest
forms are now extinct: others have
gradually increased in number and va
riety from their beginning to the pres
ent time. How long ago life began no
one has definitely determined. but it is
known to have been many million
years ago. for the remains Of extinct
animals and plants are found in the
oldest sedimentary rocks.
According to biologists. the oceanic
waters have made many incursions
upon the continents and at times have
nearly submerged them. Long ago,
even in q geologic sense, before the
birth of the Appalachian or Rocky
mountains. the sea made frequent WIS.,

Church Advertiser by Window Posters.
Posters in show windows on Broad
way and Fifth avenue, New York, are
the means employed by the st. An
drew's efficiency movement to adver-
tise the course of rmon on 1.-The
Love Stories Of the Bible" to be given
by DR.. Fred Winslow Adams, pastor
of st. Andrews NJ. e. church, West
S~eventy-sixth street, between Colum-
bus and Amsterdam avenues, every
Sunday evening.
Their are no more fascinating love
stories in literature than those found
in thef ok songs and early narratives
of the Hebrew race, DR.. Adams claims,
and he intends in his sermons to cover
every phase Of love-paternal, mater
nal, flial. b%rotherly, patriotic, religious,
mans friendship for man and wom-
ans friendship for woman.
In presenting this course Of sermons
DR.. Adams is laying hold of the we'll
known fact that great problems have
always been treated In fiction and are
still being treated In the modern novel.
He will find a basis in these love
stories for many Of the problems Of
the present day as we'll as a setting
for the gospel message which is above
everything %else-loye.
The widest publicity is being given
to the course, even to the invasion of
the advertising pages Of theater pro-
grams. which is at least something
new in the line Of church publicity.
This first love story Of the Bible. a
story Of romantic love-Isaac and Re

tiers in the order Of their appearance:

tiful and sprightly. a daughter OF Alb
raham's native land; Laban and

bekah. given to hospitality: Isaac, heir
of Abraham and to the promise, for

be ashamed Of 1t, either!
For OF all the signs and symbols
since the world began, there Is never
another SO full Of meaning as the flag
of this country.
That piece Of red, white and blue
bunting means five thousand years Of
struggle upward. 1t is the full-blown
flower Of ages OF fighting for liberty.
II is The century plant of human hope
and bloom.
1t means the answered prayer of
generations of slaves, of the heiots of
Greece. OF tie human chattels of Rome,
OF the vassals Of feudalism, of the serfs
OF Russia, of the blacks of America, of
all who, whipped and cursed, have
crawled from the cradle to the grave
through ali time.
Your flag stands for humanity. for
sn equal opportunity 10 all the sons OF
men. OF course we haven't arrived
yet at that goal; there arc many in
Justices yet among us. many senseless
and cruel customs of the past still
, clinsing TO us. but the only hope of
righting the wrongs of men lies in the
feeling produced in our bosoms by the
sight OF the flag.
1t stands for no race. Ii Is not Ike
an English, French or German flag.
1t stands for men. men OF the blood
who will come and live with us under
It's protection. 1t is the only banner
chat means mankind.
1t stands for the only great nation
on earth free from the curse and burr
den of militarism and devoted to the
arts of peace.
1t means the richest. iappiest
youngest people on the globe.
Other flags mean glorius past: this
flag means glorious future. 1t is
not SO much the Tag of our fathers as
IL is the flag of our children, and OF
our childrens children yet unborn. /,
is The nag Of tomorrow. II is tho sig
nal of the Good Time Coming" 1t is

not the flag Of your king. It is the nag
OF yourself and OF all your neighbors.
II has power concealed in its folds,
and scatters abroad an influence from
Its fiutterings That power and in
tuence mean that In due time. slowly
and by force Of law, yet surely as the
footsteps OF God, the last ancient fraud
shall be smitten, the last man shall
have place to work and living wage,
the last woman shall have all her
rights Of person and Of citizenship,
and the last and least Of children shall
be sheltered and trained and equipped
by the sovereign state, and 80 have
their right to live.
Don't be ashamed when your throat
chokes and the tears come, as you see
1t flying from the mast or ship In the
bay OF Gibraltar or the port OF Singa-
pore. You will never have worthier
emotion.
That flag is the cream Of ali relig-
ions. the concentrated essence Of the
best impulses of the human race; rev.
crence 1t as you would reverence the
signature of the Diety.
BY hundred and by thousands the
wretched victims Of the old world
caste and streaming westward, seeking
here the thing that flag stands for
opportunity.
1t stands for the quick against the
dead. the youth of the world against
its senility.
1t stands for the open door of am
bition. against the closed door of caste.
1t stands for the stability Of vigorous
growth, against the fixedness Of hoary
Institutions.
1t waves defiance a. all ghosts, they
that have for long inundated men;
the ghost Of monarchy. the ghost Of
aristocracy. the ghost OF war, the ghost
OF ecclesiastic rule: all they that still
lay shadowy hands upon the life Of
Europe and Asia.
And when at last shall convene at
The Hague that august parliament Of
man and federation OF the world" what
better ensign could be hosted above
their deliberations than the nag Of the
United States of America, which has
never stood for the narrowness Of race
nor the pride Of bllod, but always and
only for human rights?.-Square and
