NAVIGATION ON
 SEA OF LIFE IS
 SUNDAY TOPIC

The theme "The Christians Chart and Compass" used by Rev. J. J. Pat ton at the Methodist Church Sunday morning was derived from, II Timo- thy 3:16. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correc- ton for instruction in righteousness" "
 "The wise mariner is ever ready to consult his chart and compass" said Rev. Patton. Tt is thus that navi- ration is made safe for the many ships that continually pass to and from the various ports of the world. Charting of dangerous waters is eX- tremely necessary: to needlessly neg Icct 1t is no less than criminal. How ever there is another sea, the sea of life, that is no less hazardous, a sea that all must sail.
 Some say that the human con- science is @ sufficient councillor anu guide. Experience proves that this is a dangerous guide. The conscience of a man depends much upon tho in- st,uction he has received. Paul tells us in First Timothy 4:2 tina, there are those who have had ;heir con science scared by a hot iron.

X-RAY USED TO PROVE AGE OF
 BOY.

To physicians connected with the juvenile court of Cincinnati was re- gently assigned the unusual task of determining the age of lad by the use of X-ray, according to the Popular Mechanics Magazine. Under the laws of Ohio, a boy, IT or younger, comes under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, whereas one Is or over would be tried. on a criminal charge. in the criminal court. The parents of the boy claimed that he was IT, while the phv- sicians were strongly of the opinion that he was IS or older. To settle the question X ray photographs were taken of the bones of his arms and lower limbs. It is fact we'll recognized by the medical profession, that in the transition from childhood to maturity these bones undergo change that is quite distinct. The photographs ln this case showed such a development of bony tissue as to prove conclusively that the boy was IS years old or over, and consequently his case was turned over to the criminal court.
