HEAVEN.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915. by Frank Crane)

/ have discovered where heaven is.
Wherever you are. it is somewhere
else.
II is the land Of the unattanable. the
island that has never been discovered.
the shore no ship has ever reached.
Who has found that moment, spoken
OF by Goethe, where one can say, LET
this moment last forever?
We were sitting on the top of the
mountain. on the platform in front of
the little inn, Anushka and |, looking far
|out over the successive ranges of the
Sierras that extended wave like every
where. The sun was brilliant. The air
was warm. Around us was spread n
panorama as beautiful as mortal eyes
had ever seen. was about to ask
Anushka If she were happy, when she
pointed to spot over the farthest peaks
where the clouds touched the mountain
tops and a CLEAN of sunshine blessed
them, and said:
There! My soul is yonder. Do you
see that spot? 1t is the dwelling place
OF light ineffable. All is peace and Joy
there. think that must be heaven"
You are right" answered. That
is heaven-from here. But when you
get there you will find it only mist.
FROM here those clouds are white and
gold. and angels fly among them. II you
could reach them you would find it bleak
and cold. with only rocks and snow-rifts
and desolation about YOU
Then perhaps you might see, farther
on in the distance, another point full of
glory. If you flew to that you would find
your glory point Just as far away as
ever
80 heaven flies before us. To US
Heaven is on Venus, or Saturn, or Arctu-
rus; to the inhabitants of those spheres,
who knows? Maybe heaven is on Tel
us."
That she said, seems bitter and
lcynic view"
Not at all" | returned 1T is the
only view that makes happiness eternal.
The one everlasting faculty Of mankind
is anticipation. The one inexhaustible
fountain of JOY is hope. Those whose
happiness is located in the land of hope
will always be happy.
Heaven is in the future, because the
future is infinite. Besides, the future is
the only time when we can be happy
without alloy. The past, even as to the
pleasantest moments of it, is always .
little sad. So no ones heaven is in the
past. The present is ieeting. sinking
every minute into the darkness of the
past. So no mans heaven is in the pres
ent. In the future alone is pure, ideal,
untainted JOY.
1--WE are born pilgrims and strangers.
The birds Of the air have nests, and the
foxes have holes but man has not where
TO lay his head. He is the gypsy of the
universe. He is the bird of passage OF
the world"
"But ! have been happy" protested
Anushka.
Possibly" | said. but what keys
you up to live, what stimulates and in
spires you, is not the happiness you have
had but the happiness you expect to
have.
4. THE surest, stablest thing in life is
heaven. 1t rests upon the enduring
stones of hope. It's pillars are all of the
alabaster Of anticipation. 1t is city of
eternity, not of time. Therefore it is
that it's gates are never shut, night nor
day"

Never has more expensive lobbying been done
in Washington. never has more high priced pub
Iicity work been plastered over the country than
that used to bolster up the Shields bill.
Even the national conservation congress, as
sembIed in Washington May 2, was called TO
create public sentiment for the Shields bill, ac-
| cording TO Clifford Pinchot, and other delegates
| who have been fighting franticaliy TO preserve
the public rights in water power sites.
James X. Garfield, former secretary OF the in
terror urged the conservation congress not TO
commit itself TO any specific legislation on the
ground that IL would be unwise TO determine
whether pending bills are right or wrong. when
few members knew the details OF the measures.

We don't know,
And just because we will not take pains to
find out, are in fair way 10 give away mil
lions to people who do net need IL half so much
as we do ourselves.
Just remember that every time you let big
corporation rob you that you have got TO make
up that less, somehow, out OF your own pocket
out OF your own earning ability by your own
head or hand work
You give away your little extra savings. your
poor little share Of luxury, that few may have
ten times more luxury than they can use
You work hard all day that some may never
work at all,
Government owned water power means cheap
electricity.
The corporations will make it high priced
electricity.
You will lose by the difference.
Write TO your senators and representatives
and tell them that II the Shields bill gets through
congress, they will lose your vote,
These men were sent to Washington TO do
your will
Make plain what your will il about the Shields
bill. and mighty men though they be, they will
never dare to dsobey your orders.
