As originally pronounced. the penalty
against our race was not a sleep of
death, but destruction. But God pur-
posed a redemption from the death
curse; and for this purpose Christ Je-
Il came into the world and died, the
Just for the unjust that He might
bring us back into Divine favor. Con-
s%equently it has been proper to regard
the world not as wholly cut off from
life, but as merely sleeping-awaiting
the return of the Redeemer as the
Awakener, the Life-giver. In this
sense the world may be said to sleep
in Jesus" But let US not confound
this with the very different expression,

THE MOST EXACT MAN
IN THE WORLD.

In the July American Magazine is
an article by Merle Crowell on John
B%rashear, the worlds greatest instru-
ment maker, who commenced life as a
mechanic in a Pittsburgh rolling mill
and who ground the lenses for his
earlier telescopes in his spare time
and by his own hand.
instruments invented and perfect
ed by Doctor Brashear have made it
possible for us to determine, where
our fathers only speculated; to be pre-
else, where they were approximate;
to know, where they guessed. From
his workshop have gone forth instru-
ments of widely divergent uses but of
uniform precision. The Brashear
photo-chronograph that measures the
speed of a cannon ball is no less Won
derful than the glass plane thirty
inches in diameter with no part of the
surface varying a millionth of an inch
from a perfect plane.
"When the international Bureau of
Weights and Measures decided to fix
for all time the length of the stand
ard meter-the measuring unit of the
scientific worldly expressing it in
wave lengths of light, the great Mich
elson promised to turn the trick if he
could find anyone who could grind his
optical surfaces so that they would
nowhere show an error as great as
one-millionth of an inch. With the
whole world of instrument makers to
choose from, Nicholson selected John
A. Brashear, of Pittsburgh. Quietly,
confidently, the ex-millwright accept
ed the most delicate scientific job ever
given to the hand of man-and he and
Mcdowell carried it through.
Before B~rashear's performance,
the worlds scientific standard of
length-a precious platinum bar
had been locked in an underground
vault in Paris, and resurrected for in
spection only once in ten years"

MARGARET ELLINGTON IN
JUST FOR TONIGHT"
Popular Play to be Seen at Nixon's
Apollo Theatre This Week.

Avery Hopwood's latest farce, Gust
for Tonight" with Margaret Ellington
featured in the principal role, will be
presented by Selwyn & Co., at Nixon's
Apollo Theatre for the last times this
Friday and Saturday evenings and
Saturday matinees.
Avery Hopwood has so established
himself as a farce writer par excel
lence, with his "Seven Days." NO
body's Widow" and the cyclonic "Fair
and Warmer" that his latest play was
keenly looked forward to. In Gust
for Tonight" he has ideal material,
and has developed it with the mastery
Hopwood touch; giving it wit of line,
brilliance and humor of situation, nov
city Of setting and a~cuteness of char
a~cterization.
Selwyn & Co., its producers, have
equally established themselves as pro-
ducers of successful farce, with "Twin
Beds" and Mr.. Hopwood's Fair and
Warmer" the two most popular farces
within the past decade.
Margaret Ellington has her first
comedy role in Gust for Tonight"
Since the beginning of her career in
"The Thief" in which she created
a countrywide sensation, she has
played such tragically emotional roles
as those in "Kindling," within the
Law" and "The Lie"
In the company with Miss Ellington
are Walter Jones, well known as a
clever farceur; C. Aurey Smith, who
was Miss Illington's leading man last
season; Effingham Pinto, Robert Fis-
cher, Rae Eelwyn, Francine Larri-

FORGETTING THE OTHER END.

There are many things that would
improve conditions in P~leasantville
and the surrounding territory, but the
one defect which impresses itself most
fcrcibly upon our mind at this time
is the lack of unanimity and cohesive
ness in social affairs.
With each individual the town or
community in which he lives is like a
piece of rope or Irvine. 1t has two
ends, and each should be in harmony
and work smoothly with the other.
The one end is where we begin our
life in the community, and the other is
when death or removal breaks the
connection.
We devote our time, our thoughts,
and our energies to the beginning and
to each successive step as we progress
through life. The end is but a phan-
tom of the future, and we give it but
little heed.
And therein we err, for it is not
wise to forget the other end.
We need an awakening and a more
cohesive spirit in the social life of
Pleasantville and vicinity. We need
a greater spirit of fraternity in our
associations one with another. A
spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood
should bind US closer together for the
common veal of all.
In the pleasures and the excite
ments of today we forget that there
is a tomorrow for which we must pro-
vide, and in this omission we too fire.
~quently are storing up isolation and
lonesomeness for the later years of
life.
AS we begin, so do we invariably
end. If we cultivate a spirit of aloof-
ness and exclusiveness in the days of
our youth, then we must expect that
in the ripeness of old age others will
maintain the barrier that separates
us to the end.
The joys and pleasures of youth are
easy to acquire, but as time silvers
u locks they are more difficult to OBJ
tain.
The person who adheres to an ex-
elusive clique today may find that to-
morrow the integral parts have drift
ed away and that other doors are clos
ed. And it is then that the grayness
of the winter of life is brought home
to the one who lives in the beginning
and forgets the other end.
We all have III good qualities and
Il faults, some more pronounced
than others. None of us are ever
perfect, for we are but human and are
of the same clay.
Let us then remember that life of
tomorrow will be just as we shape our
beginning today.
Let us bear in mind that the end of
the string may be sharp and strong
and virile, or that it may be old and
worn and frazzled.
Life, like the string, has a begin
ming and an end, and the end must
inevitably pay for the omissions of
the beginning.
Those who cultivate friendships in
the summer of youth will find that in
the decline of life others will cleave
to them, and that the m~ellowness of
old age will be filled with joy instead
of being saddened by sorrows and re-
grets.
In our intercourse one with another,
friends, let us remember that each
day we are approaching the other end
of life, and that the end will be in
accordance with the precepts and pol
icies of the beginning.
Let us make of this a community of
friends, and not merely of acquaint-
ances.
Let us transform the gray winter of
life into a perpetual sunshine of sum-
Let us begin today.
