 Jeslus was not schooIej in other men's thoughts He was a specialist. confining his teaching to the reia- =tians between man aH8 God and man and man. He had genius for find ing God without help from schools of theology, and taught as having au- thority, and not aS the scrlbes He challenged the teaching of them of old time who attributed to the divine favor a bias in favor of d nation, . tribe a family or an individual ireom- patlble with the universal fatherhood of God. Such teaching generated pre- Judice, arrogance, intolerance and big otry a moral infection that the teach ing of Jesus has not yet overcome ln some of his disciples.
 The opposition to the teaching If Jesus was based on his manifest dis regard of the teaching of the schools and substituting his teaching for that of old and yenerated teachers. He challenged their teaching, saying. "A c have heard that 1t hath been sad by them of old time, but say unto you. He ascended the throne in the domain of human conscience and displaced Moses the great law Wgiyer. saying Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you and ] say unto you" With ruthless hand he tore away the barriers them of old time had erected and taught men ta worship God without ceremonial coda or priestly intervention. He fearless ly threw off the letters with which them of old tune had bound human thought and asserted d freedom of ideas that argued either supreme au- thority or fanaticism

Household of Ruth, No. A was
well attended last Tuesday eve.,
there being many visitors to hear
the report of the delegate, which
was very interesting. Mrs. Muir
ply, the dele gate, was highly
complimented, for her splendid
report, and a standing vote of
thanks was given her. ID. G. X.
| n. G. Lou Ella Young, spoke
very interestingly of the District,
and the harmony that exists
therein. f A has departed from
her usual custom, and nearly all
her officers are young people; we
highly commend the idea; bring
up the child, in the way it should
go.
John Buckner, Western Star,
and Hutchinson Lodges were
much pleased with The Blade and
each appointed reporter for the
same. All lodges visited have
done the same. Come on with
your work and help good cause
along. If there was ever a time,
when strong men were needed it
is now; the get-together idea de-
mands deep, serious thinking.
Are you doing your shareY What
are you doing for the good of the
masses? In these days of such
wonderful changes, everyone
should devote at least one half
hour daily, reading the great and
serious condition, that confronts
us; and then think. Opportuni-
ties for improvement and self
help are offered you every day.
Read and take advantage of them
Efficiency is the word, and it is
obtained by specialization; No
difference what your speciality is,
be efficient. Business enterprises
are needed in every community;
efficient men in everything; you
are not doing your duty to your
self or the race, as long as you
wait for what someone else has
developed. This is not published
III the thousands Of copies of this

but that you may think of them.
Great is the power you have,
and many are the charmes for

things before you, and do your
bes' ,s:th them. As the Ocean is
nothing but i any drops Of wat
er, so this great universe, great
corporations and all great things,
are little particles Of thought.
Spirits like yourself, more or less
highly developed Nothing is
big, or nothing is small; for the
smallest is an important factor in
the biggest, and the biggest is
but a combination Of the small re-
solve to be a man, doing all in
your power to make the best of
your opportunities cooperate with
those around you, look up, be am
bilious positive yet Submissive

ravels all things, and some day,

Music IN Dark Holds
Peculiar Fascination

The next time you are at concert,
try listening to the music with eyes
closed Little melodies, beautiful
harmonies and interesting pictures
will come 10 your mind-beauties
which you never realized were there.
AT the opera the action Of the play,
the costuming, the orchestra-all d.
vert attention from solely listening
to the music. If it is an orchestral
concert you see the motions of the
conductors, you watch his baton, you
see the decorations, audience and
players, and the finer beauties of the
music are lost. Similarly when listen
ing to soloist the mind wanders on
to making mental note of the costum-
ing and the manner of singing or
playing. The same is even true when
listening to monograph or player
piano in your own home. The in
strument itself takes part of the at
tention.
Listen to the opera and concert
with closed eyes, and to music in the
home alone and in the dark, and you
will readily find that the music will
reveal undreamcd of and greater
beauties than you ever thought pos
sible.
