The British astronomer royal. in his
report of the work at Greenwich dur
tng the last year, calls attention. to
the increasing great deviation between
the calculated position CT the moon
in the sky and it's real position as
shown by the Greenwich observations.
This deviation has lately been increas-
ing in a serious manner, the error
last year being more than IL times as
large as 1t was 20 years ago. the av-
erage annual increase amounting dur
ing the two decades to half second
Of arc in longitude. The cause Of the
failure of astronomers to make the
moon amenable to their exact mathe-
matics based on the dynamical laws
Of g1avitation, is believed to be some
attractive force Of which the astrono-
mers are ct present ignorant

LESSON OF SUBMISSION.

One of the hardest lessons we have
to learn, and yet one that is indis-
pensable to our higher moral develop
ment, is that of submission. We are.
as rule, SO selfopinionated, so in.
dependent, SO willful in many of our
ways that we find it difficult to ad-
just ourselves to conditions as they
arise and almost impossible to bow
to the inevitable. 1t is natural, OF
course, that we should wish for the
best there is, for smooth seas upon
which to sail our craft, for sunny
skies and balmy winds. But human
nature is seldom satisfied save for
more than a brief interval even with
the blessings it possesses, and when
in the wise dispensations OF Provi-
dence the cross Of suffering is laid
upon our shoulders we protest against
its acceptance and plead for its re-
moval But there are some things
In this life of ours. some crosses and
trials and Affections which we are
powerless to relinQuish, however
much we may strive to do 80. 1t is
In these circumstances, when the
darkness that presses close upon US
seems all the darker in contrast to
the bright sunlight Of short time
before. when the storms of life beat
about US and love changes to bitter
ness in our hearts. when our natural
longings must be stifled in order to
bear the burdens that are imposed
upon us. that we begin to learn page
by page the hard lesson Of submis.
sion.
