affectionately called the Morning
Star of the Reformation" lived some
hundred years before and started
such movement in England for the
reform Of the church from within
and the placing in the hands of the
common people the Bible in their
own tongues. But his attempt re-
suited in failure at his death. In
Bohemia John Huss who lived some
years before Luther tit was because
Luther affirmed some of Huss teach
ings that he was excommunicated)
defled the Pope and condemned the
abuses of indulgences; but the. Pope
was successful in having him burned
at the stake and thus deprived OF
their leader, not very much was ac-
complished. There are others in
different countries who saw the. cor
ruption of the church and tried to
purify it but it seems all in vain.
It was left to Luther's strong charac-
ter to vigorously persecute and carry
thru movement that was to change
the map of the religious world.
Perhaps the chief and foremost
cause that led to the reformation was
the controversy which arose about
indulgences, which had at it's bottom,
money. OF course the corrupt moral
character and licentiousness of the
Priesthood also played large part
but in our limited space we will pass
to the fundamental causes.
In the ancient church, lapse into
serious sin involved separation from,
the Christian fellowship, and read
mission to communion was only to
be had by public confession made in
the presence Of the whole congre-
cation, and by the manifestation OF
a true repentance in performing GER
tain satisfaction, such as fasting, ex-
tensive almsgiving, etc. These salts
factions were open signs of heartfelt
sorrow and were regarded as well
pleasing to God and the penitent was
restored to fellowship. This confess
sion was made to the whole congre-
cation and the satisfaction deemed
necessary was fixed by the whole
congregation. In course of time the
confession of sins made to the whole
congregation was changed or ex-
changed for private confession made
to the priest, who fixed the satisfac-
tion appropriate to the sin committed
and confessed.

PREvENTABLE FIRE

WASTE:
The annual fire waste in the
United States is equivalent to a
row of buildings reaching from
New York to Chicago. Much of
it is preventable. Preventable
fire waste, usually from careless
ness, is almost a crime.
Remember Cleanliness and the

proper care and supervision of
necessary hazardous devices and

An Aztec Grain.

At the time CT the Spanish conquest,
an ivory grain, finer than mustard
seed. was made into paste for moldlng
into religious Idols and was an impor-
tant food In those times of scarcity of
maize. This grain. known to the Az
tees MS "huauhtli." was among the trib-
ntes paid by the pueblos to Monte
yuma. The botanical identity Of the
seed was long unknown. but the COZ
lection of DIR. Edward Palmer In the
states of Sincola and Palisco included
fish-egglike seeds Of an amarnnthus.
The plant was found both wild and I'M
der cultivation, paste Of the seed and
sugar being sold under the name Of
"suale." Dir. w. Il. Stafford Of the
department Of agriculture has recog-
nlzed In these specimens the sacred
"huauhtli" of MonteZuma time, and
suggests that this amaranthus might
be cultivated In favorable situations.
Clearly allied plants are cultivated In

NEED SOUND MIND AND BODY
Depleted Man or Woman 10 Always
Depressing and Does Not See
Bright Side OF Life.

To keep fresh involves determine
ton and will. 1t is so easy to 20 on
labOring, both at work and pleasure
until we are depleted In mind and In
body.
Then we are sources Of danger, not
only to ourselves but to our whole sur
rOundings, for a depleted man or
woman is always depressing. They
have not enough vitality to see things
brightly, to look at events In a sound
common-sense manner, Their opinion
and views are biased by their own
mentally and physically devitallzed
condition. and they take the dark
colored, pessimistic view of things and
events, in this way acting as poison
ers of the happiness Of their loved
ones and others.
II takes Il sound mind In sound
body to see things always rose-col-
ored, and to take the CHEEKY, optimis'
tic view of things which so helps those
with whom we are associated.
TO keep whole body means that
we must never lower Its vitality unless
unavoidable. by incessant work, by So
called pleasures which really rob the
body of much necessary power needed
In other directions, but that in calcu-
lating our days or weeks work, we
include sufficient rest TO restore the
energy we have expended.
1t is a duty we owe to ourselves
and others to take this rest In which
ever form each individual finds pos
sible or pleasant.
To some Il weeks end in the coun-
try will give tone and health, to others
n quiet rest at home, but everyone
should allow sufficient rest every day
In the silence away from other So
cicty, in which to relax and be per-
fectly quiet. This will help keep the
balance of body and soul and Its con-
tnued practice means continual re.
