Story That Defies Time.

Commentaries have been written on
the Book of Job which only Job could
have the patience to read. A hundred
books have been written and many a
song has been sung with the fortunes
of Mary Stuart for their burden, but
these have been redeemed from the
dullness which has so often fallen
upon even the stupendous drama Of
the Old Testament by the mystery and
glamour which ever wait upon the Scot
tish queen.
More than three centuries have
passed since she stood to her trial in
Fotheringay castle, yet time, that COW
ers most things with its weeds, has
been powerless to impair the interest
of her story.

There never was a time in the his
tory of the world in which there was so
violent q passion of movement as to-
day. We are none of US content to
live our lives in one place. We must
all be going somewhere in search of
new sights. The railroad no longer
keeps pace with our desires. The
neatly laid rails which traverse our
continent seem too formal in the ra-
pidity of our thought. 1t irks us to pre-
sent ourselves at a railway station in

We must settle our own hour and
take our journey as we list. So motor
cars come to the aid of railway trains,

sloth and solidity of the earth on which
they were born there is the flying ma
