PRUNES AND PRISMS
Hindenbure's Will

n HINDENBURG, being thoroughly fed
~ up with things in general, desire
to make disposition of my effects to the
best advantage. / therefore will and be-
queath as follows:
To our enemies leave Gott. I wish to
have nothing more to do with him. Since
he skidded SO badly on the Marne, he is OF
no military value to the general staff. I
believe his morale is affected.
To the German people leave my share
of paper clothing, turnips and the Rosner
dispatches. They are welcome to them.
To Ludendorff I leave General Foch. I
am glad to get him off my hands.
To the Crown Prince I bequeath the
Devil Dogs, and advise him to keep them
at distance. Also to the Crown Prince
I bequeath General Pershing. He is very
trying After we have all got bored with
this war, for him to come over here and
take it so seriously shows that he has
no sense Of humor.
To Wilhelm leave Der Tag, and all the
dotted lines on the map. I hope he will
know what to do with them.

In just like maner, dear friend,
is The Sweet Master acting toward
you while you live here in this life.
He has thought for you. individ-

the moment of His appearance in

your present burdens or grief. II

not be with you just as 1t was

why you grieve?
1t was because Mary failed to
know Him. although conversing
with Him. that He spake the words
quoted in our text. When you COM

similar to that INDUCED in by Mary.
and not realizing It is Jesus with
whom you are speaking? II il has
been so. realize fully from the words

her by her name that awoke Mary
out OF her complete state OF self

allow yourself to become so alb

grief, but realize the truth now
revealed to you in this act Of your
Christ, that He knows your every

Church. Thirteenth and V streets

fext: Jesus said unto her. Mary"
st. John. a:1s.
Amidst all the strenuous times
through which we are passing, laden
heavy with grave economic prob
lens, one finds but little opportunity
for personal meditation. and still we
are constantly being reminded by our
government Of the importance OF each
individual assuming an attitude OF full
cooperation with the nation as a unit.
The trend OF thought, therefore, has
been along the line OF awakening our
people to q realization OF the nations
dependence upon each one. The gov
ernment has called upon the clergy to
place before the people different du-
ties devolving upon them in support
OF the efficient carrying out OF the
obligations now resting upon the ma
tion. Much has, accordingly. been
spoken from the pulpit OF a martial
character. and one has frequently had
the position taken by America sup
ported by Biblical passages. such as
found in the Book Of Exodus C32:25
where we read of the wrath of God
against the idolatry of Israel: and
the exclamation who Is on the Lord's
side?" might fittingly be taken for
comparative mediation. But in avail
ing myself OF this opportunity opened
unto me to convey to you q message
from Gods Word, ] wish, with the
aid OF the Grace OF God, to draw you
apart from the beaten path OF mar
tial thoughts. and figuratively wander
with you into the quiet, peaceful scene
pictured In the thenty-third Psalm
''in green pastures and beside the still
waters" For II is only in Gods own
open nature can one find quiet and
peace" these days.
The words set forth In the text seem.
at first thought. rather shallow of any
mental food. but is this so?
Are you not like the Spartan youth
Of old, carrying next to your heart,
hidden from detection OF those with
whom you come in contact, some bur-
den OF anxiety or grief which, like the
fox. is gnawing into your very souls
life? And does not the cares OF un-
ending distractions OF these days Gre
ate a condition OF existence in which
you find very little, II any. feeling Of
personal relief in your experiencing
personal contact with jesus? Will
you not, then. tary with me long
enough in our retreat away from the
beaten paths Of current events. TO gain

Desert Is Same rs
4 Wrinkle On Skin
Indicating Old Age
d GARRETT 2. sERVIss.

4 correspondent asks: rs It a fact
that large, barren areas, such as the
deserts Of this planet, are an indiea-
ton that the planet is very old7"
The existence Of extensive deserts is
at least an indication that a planet
has attained full maturity OF develop
ment, and il the deserts cover the
larger part Of its surface. while seas
have disappeared. as seems 10 be the
case on Mars. the probability Is that
the planet is in decrepitude. cunsid o
cred as an abode OF living organism.
The reason for this conclusion is that
both the atmosphere and the hydro
sphere (water envelope) tend TO dis
appear as the planet grows older. The
disappearance is effected by either
chemical combination Of the atmos-
pheric gases with the minerals of the
planetary crust or by the escape Of
those gases into space, owing TO the
high velocity Of their molecules.
With regard 10 the EARTH some au-
thOrities hold that Il already shows
signs OF growing desiccatiou. while
others think that its deserts are not
expanding or increasing In number.
At the worst, they have not yet as
sumed such proportions as 10 constl-
tute a serious threat
But deserts. scientifically consid-
cred. are among the most interesting
features OF a planet They are stig-
mata. or blemishes. characteristic Of
n certain age, like wrinkles and
patches on the skin.
