LECTURES ON DIVINE LOVE,
Rev. Hiram Vroomnn Di.cu..e,
"COn-ceptions of God"

Rev. Hiram Frooman lectured at the
Church OF the New Jerusalem last even
ing on Conceptions of God" After de-
scribing the effects of love upon the hu-
man heart. DR.. Erooman said:
Divine revelation has the seernIneIy
miraculous power OF bringing us into
the sphere OF a certain distinctive human
love, one that is unique, one that is d.
Vine.
We first become acquainted with Gods
love, and the existence of His distinctive
love Is the evidence of His personality.
Love. remember, emanates from no 9th
er source than living personality. And
thus it is that by observing the effects Of
God in the qualities of our personal ex-
perienCes We learn of God"

THEY'LL HAVE TO WAIT AWHILE.

Late reports from Washington say that President Wilson finds it expedient to remain in Mexico for a definite period which is, until the bandits have been driven out of the country extenninated. To some of us this the extermination of every Mexican because they "tarrel with the same stick" This fact taken together with the further fact that for generations they have had brel into them hatred for Americans and America itself, consequently, if we have to have peace we must remain there and keep up the good work of extermnation
 From all indications, it is clear that the adminis traton has finally arrve at the conclusion that guer rla warfare in Mexico is sort of pest that only increase with the time unless the bad weeds eradicated; pulled out, roots and a and that in the interest of misunderstanding the Mexicans, lust police their country and make safe country from pest As the Mexicans realize that such in- tenton, shall peace be restored Making them understand purpose with force thas which needed because force is e only instrument they fear And since We have in that country with force, must accomplish purpose And that regardless as to whether Carranza likes it not.

unto the property. This whether the property owner likes it not, he must pay The inhabitants cannot incorporate their community unless by special act of congress- They cannot do ths that and other things. They for all the world like children in kinder garten school they can do only that which they are told to do. And to think that Secretary La:e advo cated such move is heartrending
 It is evident that when congress decided to open up Alaska by the construction of railroad it mere ly loaned the money charging heavy interest and serving the right to handle both the capital and the management of the work, drawing by whatever means on the inhabitants for reimbursement. No wonder Secretary Lane .havng trouble

WITH OTHERS EYES.

We say of Lincoln that he things with his own eyes It is very interesting when pick out individual men and say that of them The op- posite of the proposition is that most men see things with other mems eyes And that is the pity of the whole business of the world Most do not see things with their eyes If they did they would not be nconspicuous they consent to be. What most persons do is to live up to formula and opin- ions and believe them, and never give themselves the trouble to ask whether they true or not; so that there is great deal of truth in saying that the trouble is, men believe many things that are not so, because they have taken them at second hand; they have accepted them in the form they were given them They have not re-examined them. They have not seen the world with their own eyes Woodrow Wilson.

SECRETARY LANES MISTAKE.

From distance, it would appear that the gravest mistake that Secretary Lane has made in connection with the government railroad at Anchorage, the establishment of kindergarten community. We say kindergarten because the inhabitants of that place bound up with red tape that it is impossible for them to do anything unless Messrs Commissioners say so; and the latter cannot say so unless they
 first ask and obtain permission of Secretary Lane who in turn must have permission of the President, and when the red tape has gone the round and has been stamped at each station, it is returned to the com missioners and provided it with their approval there be nothing dong and there you are Is not this lot of red tape?
 It seems that the purchasers of lots have nothing to say in regard any mprovement-or anything else for that matter. The improvement is made-whatever it may by the commissioners and the charges tackled

Physical recognition, attraction of the body is the pervertng shadow of the Higher Love It is satisfying and if the soul is deceived by its fascination it transforms the being into demon-begettng fury which leaves the helpless victim in the clutches of the of the divorce courts and the seethng caons of vice.
