The Wesley Oak.

The Wesley oak. according to the At
lanta (Ga) Journal, stands on st. ST.
mons island. less than a mile from
Fort Frederick. 1t is 200 feet high.
and its cool shade rests like a bene
diction over an area of several acres.
According to local tradition, this tree
marks the exact spot on which the
Wesleys preached. Charles Wesley en-
gagged himself to Oglethorpe as private
secretary before leaving England. But
he afterward took orders and devoted
much Of his time to preaching near
Frederick. From time to time John
Wesley came down from Savannah to
join him. This famous oak stands at
the gateway to the churchyard OF
Christ church. and several generations
sleep within the Enclosure that it
guards. Moses hang down from its
limbs, and it is solemn and beautiful.

THE WORD "IOVE."
In the Orient Il Means to Like Or 10
Used to Express Coed Will.


The word "love'' has been more high
~ specialized in the west than in the
east In it's proper English use it
means only that ardent, amorous feel
ing which cannot be created by will
and design. In the west the word
"love" has been relieved of the func-
ton of expressing the less ardent de-
sires, such as the terms ito like" ito
have good will toward" and ito be
well disposed toward" simply.
Not so in the east. The word ''like."
meaning ito be favorably inclined to-
ward" is not found either in the Bible
or in the Arabic tongue. In the Eng
lish version of the Bible it is used in
two places, but the translation is in
correct. IL the twenty fifth chapter of
Deuteronomy and the seventh verse.
IF the man like not to take his broth
er's wife," should be rendered "If the
man consent not" and in the fourth
chapter ST Amos, the fifth verse, "For
this liketh you. o We children of Is
rael," is in the original, For this We
loved o We children of Israel" In
any standard concordance of the BIZ
BILE the Hebrew verb aheb-to love
precedes these quotations.
So to us Orientals the only word
which can express any cordial inclina-
ton of approval is 'love." One loves
his wife and children and loves grapes
and figs and meat, if he likes these
things. An employer says to an en-
ployee, "If you love to work for me
according to this agreement you can"
1t is nothing uncommon for one to
say to a casual acquaintance whom he
likes, 81 must say, sahib friend), that
1 love your know of no equivalent
in the Arabic for the phrase, 81 am in
terested in you" Love" and hate"
are the usual terms by which to ex-
press approval and disapproval. as
well as real love and hatred.
From all this it may be seen that
when the Great Oriental Teacher said
to his countrymen, who considered all
other clans than their own as their en-
emies, love your enemies" he did
not mean that they should be enamor-
ed of them, but that they should have
good will toward them. We cannot
love by will and design. but We GER
-tainly can will to be well disposed
even toward those who, we believe.

SPECIAL LETTER FROM NEW

} TIRE HERALD

New York Nov. 6, 1916.
It is hardly surprising to know that
the waistline is again creating a
great deal of comment. Somehow,
we have come to expect, from the
vacillating nature it has always shown
that it could not remain fixed in any
one place for any length of time. Just
at present it is at it's old diversion of
keeping us guessing as to what it's
real intention is. Frocks from Paris
have shown that many favor the low
line of the Moyen Age, while others
take the raised line of the Empire and
Directoire period. But between these

If you should hear some stranger

of the southern continent the mention

That Old. Old Table.

1t is impossible to know who was the
author Of the multiplication table. but
1t is known to have been in existence
in the days Of the builders of the ruin
ed cities of Mesopotamia. whose rec
ords are now being patiently decipher-
ed by archaeologists. Tablets are
found which tell us of their system Of
education, banking, accounting. bust
ness correspondence. etc., and among
others are multiplication tables. So
the multiplication table is probably not
less than 5000 years old.-Christian

Self Reliance.

The spirit of self help is the root sf
all genuine growth in the individual.
and, exhibited in the lives Of many, It
constitutes the true source of national
vigor and strength. Help from with
out is often enfeebling in its effects.
but help from within invariably invig-
crates. Whatever is done for men or
classes to a certain extent takes away
the stimulus and necessity Of doing for
themselves. and where men are sub
jected to overguidanee and overgov-
eminent the inevitable tendency Is to
render them comparatively helpless

two extremes the normal waistline is
also to be found, so that it would seem
that all these are correct just now.
Some dresses have settled the matter
by having two, or even three belts, so
that they may declare themselves
strictly neutral The belts, when
there are two or three together, are of
necessity quite narrow.
Belts, by the way, are quite an i'm
pOrtant adjunct to ones costume this
season. This is due partly to the
vogue of the loose, wrapper-like
dresses, which require form of belt to
hold them into the figure. And so
there are all kinds of belts, both mar
row and wide. A great many are or
namented with gold and silver, O.
soutache braid, soutache being one Of
the novelty dress trimmings for fall
and winter.
One of the new one-piece frocks
showing the low waistline is illustrat-
ed in the sketch. The line is def,L,:'.
by two rows of braid, and this trim
ming is again repeated with the pur-
pose of outlining the plastron effect
in front of the dress. To the major
Hy of women this is becoming mode
and a pleasing departure from the
plain, straight-hanging lines of the
loose, chemise dress which has been
Aolding sway for so long. Black silk
braid is an effective trimming and
very pleasing on dark-green cos
sumo. The rich dark greens and wine
shades continue to be highly favored
as well as purple and royal blue.
The Trend of Coats and Suits.
The first chill days Of October have
brought out many smart suits and top
coats. For top coats, the full length
reaching the bottom Of the dress is
generally favored. Coats Of suits, too,
are mostly long, the. three-quarter
length being decidedly the most pop
nlar. Collars are high, as high as they
have ever been, If noe higher, and

DENY REPORT Of NEW
Case Of PARALYSIS

The Board Of Health today branded
as false, statements published in
some newspapers yesterday that two
cases OF suspected infantile paralysis
had been placed under observation in
this city. However. Il was reported
at noon today that a case Of infantile
paralysis. but not OF the infectious
type, had been discovered in a home
IN Shallcross avenue. Although it had
not been reported TO the health au-
thorities. officials of that department
at once started an investigation.
According to Dr. Frantz. the case
was one Of spinal trouble. but not Of
an infectious nature. The house of
occupants. it was said would not be
quarantined by the State health au-
thorities. Another physician who is
attending the patient. said the child
has pneumonia and not infantile par
