The program of the Laymens Mis-
Bionary Movement Convention to be
held in Richmond, February Is, IA,
Is and 16, will be of the very highest
quality, giving the convention the
character of national meeting, which
men would cross a continent to at
tend, now made possible by this fine
cooperation in team work brought TO

Test of Religion

If some one calls you names or
speakes meanly of you, don't an
swer back. If your character is
not stronger than their insults,
they have the drop on you and
you had better retire. If it is, time
will furnish the proper answer in a
penalty for their meaness and secur-
rility. If a man is always in a
conflict with others on issues af-
fecting his honor or fame, he is
Lying his life on a low plane, where
his faith never merges into love
and where his own rancor is made
to supply the place of Gods judg-
ment. One of the best tests of a
mans religion is furnished right
here, and if he is always spatting
back at every little thrust, you
wager that the thing he needs most
is religion. What mems opinions
of one another are is not a subject
of high. toned controversy, and it
reflects seriously upon a mans
Christianity when he INDUCES in
that sort of conflict. If a man stop
to fight every fellow that insults
him on his way to heaven Re will
never get there Ohio State Jour
nal.

Anatomical Test,

In recent years many anatomists
have given much attention to solving
the problem of reproducing from the
skulls the faces of ancient peoples.
According to Nature, Prof. G., w, M.
Poynter of the University of Nebraska
some time ago gave three skulls to a
sculptor, with the request that he re-
construct the fleshy parts of the face
and head according to the data pub
lished by Professor Won Eggeling Of
the University OF Jena. Professor
Poynter did not tell the artist that
the three skulls were all of natives
Of North America. AS a matter Of
fact one, possibly of the Pleistocene
age, was found by Mr.. Robert F. Gil:
der In mound of river loan in Ne
braska; one belonged to an Indian of
pre-Columbian date; and one was that
Of modern Indian. The photographs
Of the artists work show in all three
eases the characteristic face of the
American Indian. Whatever the age
of the Nebraska skull may prove to
be, it's owner was undoubtedly man
of the Indian type.

SpectaCles

Most eye troubles are easily help
ed. And yet many folks hesitate
to wear glasses for looks sake.
They suffer headaches from eye
strain; they draw wrinkles into
their foreheads years before they
should come; they lose the happy
expression on the face that perfect
vision gives.
D? course it is necessary to have
glasses perfectly fitted;
Our opticians have the most ex-
pert skill; they have the facilities
for discovering the needs Of eyes:
If they find that you need an ocu-

glasses only are required, we guar
antee to provide you with the most
perfect help obtainable at the most
reasonable costs.
