Whose body Nature Is and God the
SOUL"
that there is but one principle rum
ming through the universe. one life,
one truth, one reality. and that this
principle is divinely beneficent, is the
most inspiring. encouraging idea that
ever entered the human mind.
To contemplate the oneness OF all
creation, TO hold fast to the truth
that all things are but a manifesto
tion OF the creative thought of God
not only draws all people closer to
God and to one another, but It en-
larges the mind and enrlches the ma
ture as nothing else can.
This idea of mans unity with God
captured the Imagination of Edgar
Allen Poe. who said: Think that the
sense of Individual Identity will be
gradually merged in the general con-
sciousness; that man, for example. will
at length attain that awfully trium-
phant epoch when he shall recognize
his existence as that of jehovah! -
This is not an atheistic Punishment OF
God and His holy angels, but is. on
the contrary, the enthronement OF a
new Jehovah--a God that has become
conscious and potent in the human
mind"
The full realisation of our oneness
with God; that we actually live, move
ana have our being in Him will ele.
vate our standards, will give us wider
nobler views of life.

each of US is dependent on our unity
with all the others. because we are
all parts of one whole,
Every created thing is a part Of the
divine universal plan. IN which each
of us is intended to play an indi-
vidual part. But though individual,
we are still one in essence, For" as
st. Paul says, by one Spirit are we
all baptized into one body, whether
we be Jews or Gentiles. whether we
be bond or free; and have been all
made TO drink into one Spirit" Our
neighbor is ourself because there is
only one mind in the universe. And
since all is an expression of that In
finite Mind. there can be no real
separateness of individuals. except in
their failure to recognize that zone

Some of us seem to think that we
are Independent centers of intelli-
gence instead of being parts of a
scheme so vast, plan so magnificent,
not only for the races that live upon
our little earth planet, but for the
numberless beings who live upon other
planets, that 1t is beyond the scope
of our imagination.
When we consider that hundreds
of thousands of earths like our own
could be taken into the sun through
one of the holes on its surface which
we call "sun spots" and that this
sun is but as a single grain of sand
compared with the number of the
heavenly bodies, we get a faint idea
of the earth's littleness and of the
immensity of the universe.

Forced to Take Choice,

1t was impossible for everybody to
take in everything. There was so much
going on at the same time that the
best a person could do was to pick
what he most desired to see and let the
other attractions go. In the morning
there were demonstrations of the way
to administer hog cholera serum, proper
methods of handling bees. canning and
drying of fruits. plowing and harrow
ing with power machinery, spraying
and seeding, and inspection of the
various experiments along different
agricultural lines. Besides these
things there were the track and field

 In their great attack upon Messines ridge the British brought into play a new weapon, the inflammable shell. we didn't use gas in the attack" said one correspondent, "but every known form of offensive weapon I think we did supply, including a new horror known in the army as oil cans or boiling oil' These on concussion burst and scattered conflagration over a wide area. We know from the prison CTS taken that they caused terror and did an immense amount of harm
 Light on the nature of these flaming projectiles is given by an American patent which was issued to Henry Dean of Michigan early in the war. A chamber containing high explosive, powder Is situated in back of the solid nose of the shell and right in front Of the firing torch Surrounding this highly inflammable torch is the charge of gasoline which takes up by far the greatest portion of the interior of the projectile. Thus, when the nose of the shell strikes against the trench wall. the concussion sets off the gunpowder-
