when completed, is to be the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. l. Brady.
Mrs. De Forrest Ross was visitor
within the Heavenly Sphere several
days last week.
Jack Brady has partner and a mo-
torcycle. He took both with him on a
trip last week. A clear stretch of
road suggested an increase of speed.
Glenn Myers till then had enjoyed the
comfort the side car proffered. With
out warning he was doomed to turn
two somersaults before hitting Mother
Earth with more force than dignity.
The machine, like Jacks pants, bore
evidence of the escapade. Glenn has
not been riding since.
Logan school reopens on Monday,
Sept. 4. Mr.. George Bridge will again
have charge of the senior classes,
while Miss Mahoney will be respon-
sible for the remainder.
J. j. Murphy was Minot visitor
during the week. Reports to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, critics are COM
PEELED to admit that he had not looked
upon the wine when it was red.
! met a man awhile back, born aft
er the same manner as you and l.,
whose mental apparatus became hope
lessly plugged each time an idea
CHANGED to penetrate his cerebral cas-
ing.
A mere phantasy to begin with; in
but little while the notion nurtured,
becomes a ray of truth, sublime, in
spired, indisputable and absolutely in
controvertible; a revelation; the in
depreciation of which he is convinced
the universe must accept, or be DOOM
ed to an unutterable destiny.
Persecution pains not; reason re-
signs, wealth, power, respect, even
life itself, are offered gladly as sacri-
flee upon the altar of arrogant as
sumption; for unto him, who is but
even as you and /, has not the God
dess of Truth unfolded her innermost
secrets, spiritual yet specious.
Meeting and mingling with broth
er this afflicted awakens chord, sor-
rowfully sympathetic, for is it not
written that knowledge is proud that
it knows so much, while Wisdom is
humble that it knows not more.
It is likewise refreshingly comical
to encounter man who thinks in all
seriousness that he has a corner on
Truth, to be discreetly dispensed to
less favored mortals, who dare not
doubt or differ, lest they discard de-
liberately all hope of Immortality, that
divine contamination the soul desires.
Sad it is, to witness the mental &C.
centricities man is prone to exhibit,
to realize that the human mind has a
foolish habit of jumping hastily to
conclusions, fearfully, wonderfully
careless, conclusions which subsequent
investigation proves so often and en-
phatically that the little bunch of facts
we had figured out, ticketed, tied up
so nicely and stuffed away in our men
tai chest, for future enlightenment of
benighted bunch of beings; after all
needed revising beyond recognition.
It is hard, humiliating, to part with
pet ideas; they die so hard, yet in
casting aside hard and fast conclusions
then dawns nobler conception Of
mans insignifcance in a Creators
scheme, realization that the mind of
man is but finite, and time the teach
er impresses the great Truth that we
know not all things spiritual or 9TH
erwise. Therefore be We tolerant at
all seasons, for dogmatism dulls our
