It's the Same the World Over.

Keep your coat on during the election. The American people will have the same problems after the election as before. The defeat or election of candidates determines but little, and all efforts made tO influence voters for particular can- dldates leaves sickening after effect for the men who. attempt to deceive. Men who are the least bit wise can take the good qualities of a scheming politician and the bad ones of well-intentiOned one and prove anything to suit their pre- judlces. Tis of this that politics principally consists. Only few politicians have opinions and con- VlctlOns of their own: the majority will yield anything to public opin- ion. Brave and alone the man must go in public life if he holds to the right; time is his only hope and friend. The public is timid and cas- fly swayed by mere superficialties It has scant resources for looking at events and men in general, but follows isolated facts foreign to real issues. The masses are inpatient an often throw good men aside and worship those who make big prom ises. Knowing a thing and doing it are entirely different. If man wants to appreciate what courage means. let him attempt to carry out in practice some good he knows tC be right. He will find the world full of suspicion. jealousy and indiffer- ence. And when you hear of pub- lie mans name being used for pub lie and private conversation. you can put it down nine times out oi ten that he is trying to break UT some old and dangerous practices The men who have done this. from county to national offices. are few Why should a man fight for the right when he gets no credit for it? It can only be for a love of justice The greatest deeds being done in the world are never published ex- tensively. But little is ever men, toned about how mothers care for babies and fathers labor to school their children, and how a few brave men study night and day planning ways upon which to defeat deceit and fraud that has become univer- sal and often difficult to detect There are many men whose hearts bleed for justice. that are being branded as frauds They may make mistakes and they may be selfish all of which is human. But deen down thev have a sense of honor and an idea of human rights that must be followed regardless of election consequences.

dividual members of the race. Since the time when the death sentence passed upon all mankind because of Adams sin. the human family have been going into the tomb. But from before the foundation of the world God had purposed the redemp- ton and restitution of mankind through the death of His Son. There fore the Bible refers to death as a sleep" out of which all will be awak- ened in the resurrection. But there Is another sense in which people may be said to sleep. The majority seem to be going about as if in a dream, thinking merely of the triyialities of life-what to eat, to drink. to wear, to entertain the weighty things-those that pertain to God to the Divine will. to the flu ture and everlasting life These he urged to awake and to come to Christ the great Light-giver of the world.
 The importance of the beginning of the period of adolescence was empha- sized. Parents and teachers should use much wisdom in their dealings with children at this crucial stage. when the child mind begins to wonder and question as never before, to look beyond childish diversions toward higher things. Christian parents espe- cially have great responsibility along this llne, both In regard to what they teach their children and ill respect to the example which they set before the youthful mind entrusted to their care. Having learned the way of God them selves, they should endeavor to infiu- ence their children to do the same.
 To those who have for years lived merely for the things of time and sense there sometimes comes time or awakening. Perhaps life's expert ences have brought them to a realiza ton that there Is something to live for better than they have heretofore seen. They come to realize that they are sinners needing Savior; that they are helpless and need a Helper. Perhaps they get the right view, that the sen tence resting upon fallen man is ueath; more likely they get the wrong view, that the sentence upon the race is eternal torment. But from the mo- ment of awakening they face crisis. "lll they come to God and receive a oiesslng! Or will they wander off into greater darkness and be thereafter more difficult to reach than before2

FAMINE IN GERMAN PAPER
 SUPPLY i THING OF PAST
Papers Reduced Number of Pages After Prices Were Raised. and
 Prices Have Dropped.

Berlin. Oct. 26.-The threatened paper famine in Germany, which months ago caused cries of distress among the publishers. now appears to be a thing of the past.
 Claiming a shortage of labor, the manufacturers abruptly advanced the price since the outbreak of the war, and several months ago, the publishers reduced the number of pages of their papers.
 All this apparently has had the effect of reducing the consumption and the manufacturers already feel it necessary to take steps to en- courage the consumption. and are combating the paper saving cru sade
