man is. Man is evidently Gods
greatest product. judging from the
fact that he made him in his own
image. Man. however, is not Gods
only product, for he is the creator
of all power and all life. The man
ner of this creation seems to midi
cate that the animals nearest his
image and likeness have no power
and intellect than those at a greater
distance from his likeness. And
from this we would suppose that it
was not intended that man should
walk in Intellectual darkness as does
the beast of the field but should walk
in the light of God in the person of
his son, Jesus. The man or woman
who is closest to God is as observa-
tion will prove. nearest to perfect
manhood or womanhood, and the
man or woman who is fartherest
from God is nearest to a beast. There
is one of two things that any young
man or young woman can hope to
be at the conclusion of their days,
and that is to be of the higher order
of man in the ranks of men, or of
the lower order OF man in the ranks
of beasts. We can not believe that
God did any of his creating without
the strictest regard for the laws Of
uniformity, and to believe otherwise
would place a low estimate on God.
What we mean by uniformity is that
every object of his creation must de-
pend upon the object above and the
object below it: and the failure Of

nounced they had evacuated, virtu-
ally all important ground taken by
the Germans on the east bank of the
Meuse during their winter and
spring offensive at Verdun has been
lost again. Shortly after Fort Dou-
aumont had been taken and a wide
stretch of front in this region was
regained by the French on Oct. o5,
it was pointed out that Fort Vanx
had been put into perilous position.
The French pushed well beyond the
fort on each side. The Germans
evacuated Fort Vaux during the
night, said an official report, without
hindrance by the French. The French
continued to pour heavy fire on the
fort. The French report last night
announcing advances in Lesboeufs

kf1rmed by Berlin, which comedies
