WOULD TAKE BIBLE. TO RICH
They Do Not Take Time for Gods
Word, Is Assertion by New
York Pastor.

PITY the poor rich, for they are the
poorest of all. They are barricaded
against the Bible. If the Master him
SELF were to undertake to carry his
message personally to the hotels and
apartment houses of New York he
would be turned aside by the door
man with the information that No
peddlers are allowed
So Rev. Joseph W. Kemp, pastor of
Calvary Baptist church, explained to
me the Sunday sermon in which he
said that the crying need of religion
in this city is to put Bibles in the
homes of the wealthy"
How hardly shall they who have
riches enter into the kingdom Of
heaven" the divine earnestly quoted.
1T is not that the possession of riches
is Inconsistent with Christianity, but
that the rich grow to worship. the
creature of their own brains-money.
They believe that riches may be count
ed in the palm. This is, not so.
True riches are within. There are
millionaires of the mind. Rockefellers
of the soul, and they are found often
er than not among the poor-the rich
poor whose doors and whose intel
lects are open to the Gospel Of
Christ"
ITO what do you attribute the r"-
ligious apathy of the rich?" | asked
Doctor Kemp.
The rich are obsessed with mate
rialism," Doctor Kemp answered.
They have all the time in the world
to read the latest novel, to go and
see the latest play, but they have no
time for the word of God. "-Nixola

BROUGHT TO LIFE BY LIGHT
Poppy Seeds. Twenty Centuries Old
Sprang Into Brilliant Bloom
When Uncovered.

Some years ago there was seen in a
silver mine of Laurium a curious in
stance of the resuscitating power of
light after many years. The silver
mines of Laurium were abandoned
more than 1000 years ago as unwork-
able, and were filled for the most part
with the Stag from the workings of the
miners.
1t was discovered, however, that this
Stag contained plenty Of silver. which
could easily be rendered available by
up-to-date appliances. Accordingly it
was removed to the furnace, and, when
next the mine was visited, a wonderful
Transformation was found to have ia
/ ken place Instead of heap of rub.
bish, the mine had become gorgeous
flower garden. The entire space was
covered with brilliant show of pop.
pies. This profuse vegetable life, 1t is
asserted, belonged TO the age In which
the mines were worked. Twenty cen.
turtles old, therefore, were those poppy
seeds; yet, when the removal of the
Stag allowed the light to fall upon
them. they sprang into life and bloom
under its influence.

The War Spirit.

A British diplomat was praising the
cheerful and devoted spirit wherewith
the women of Britain are doing their
share of war work.
There is story that illustrates
this fine spirit" said he.
"A man asked his next-door neigh
Dor in an English town:
Anybody i'll in your house? I
heard a lot of frantic running up and
down stairs last night. 1t seemed to
go on pretty much all evening"
Here, by the way, I'd better ex-
plain that an English bus has double
deck like the New York bus of Broad
way and of Fifth avenue.
THE other man said in answer to
his friend:

Marketing Farm Products.

United States Senator Fletcher has
called meeting of the national mar
keting committee to devise means to
aid the farmer in marketing his prod
ucts, and also to enable the consumer
to distinguish between the high cost
OF food and the high cost of serv-
ice.
The farmers of the country are pro-
ducing annually crops for which they
receive $4,000, 100000. and for which
the consumer pays, $4,000, 100000"
said Representative w. S. Goodwin of
Arkansas, member of the committee.
The farmer gets So cents and the
middleman gets IS cents for each dol

amount of waste, especially in perish

To Reduce Flesh Safely.

II one really wishes to reduce the
flesh without injury. careful diet is
absolutely necessary. Milk, eggs. fish.
fowl and fresh fruits are good. and
you must have lots OF water. air and
sunlight. Bicycle riding is better
than walking. and dancing also helps
to reduce.
Eat only simple, light foods without
fats. greases. oils, starches and
gravies. Shun all liquors and hot
drinks-and eat nothing after FIVE
o'clock in the afternoon. Do not sleep
over seven hours at night and avoid
an afternoon nap as you would the

In her wildness she turned and struck
the man behind her and she never

distorted like a maniac's. his hard
eyes softened. He knew how slim the

Grim Prophecy on an EGG.

THE end of time-1916." These
words appear plainly on an egg laid
bya little white Leghorn belonging to
James Francis of McKees Rocks.
The letters of the prophecy are in
dead white, contrasting with the mild
err grayish luster of the rest of the,
shell. They are embossed, standing
out noticeably. They could be read
by the fingers of the educated sight
less.
AS to how they came on the egg

many who have tackled it, and those
who believe that even hen is not too

ations to date have the best of the ar

Beside him walked that love OF

price which Ae had so nearl. lost in
his blindness. Before him went his
tried friend, big John Daily, whose
heart had shut on its own pain and
opened to him the more.
At the camp waited the white-haired
general who was mother to him.
Here was his life from this time
forth. amid the stark forces of vir-
gin country. The cities were far way,
remote.
He had heard the Winds of God
upon the Sounding Board of the Hills
and they had shown him Deity. He
was no longer questioner, an agnos-

bare heavens
Thus he was borne down the drip

His face was CHASTITY, for love tore

Ma Daily had not seen him for two
days and when she met him she said
straightly:
"S'letz went into tn fire, son. after
Sandry. That was hours ago. An

That was the hardest knock of the
