SOAR HEAVENW ARD


Take the trail to morning,
And keep that road OF light
Till life forgets the darkness
Of dusk and of The night.
The lightheart of the struggle,
The gay soul for the strife,
And that which trusts and that which
serves
Shall win the wars of life.
A quotation often used, though
misunderstood by the great mass Q!
mankind, is: Man IS born to trouble
as the sparks hy upward. These
words are attributed to Eliohaz. che
of Jobs friends. VINO visited him at
the time the fortunes Of the Ghaldesn
patriarch were at their lcwest ebD
and while he was passing through
the school Of his Creator. All Bible
scholars knew that the translation
dees. not convey the sense n waicE
EliphaZ was speaking. Should an;
one desire to take the troyO!e, he CT

suggestive figure of speech. As III"
smoke ascends upward, ica%ing the
Goals, so does the true man rise su-
perior to his difficulties.
Jobs friend is :.guyng" him. to

THE MONKS PROPHECIES

Il vii! be remembered that a month
after the war began a New, 1br!
paper in its issue Of September il
1911, printed a special cable fr2n,
Paris carrying extracts from an art
icle in the Figaro upon a series o!
prophecies alleged to have beer writ
ten by monk three centuries before
:hc outbreak of the war. These al
legged prophecies foresaw many OF
the events and conditions of the war
and are reprinted so that compap-
son Of the text with recent events
may be made. The special cable said:
Paris, Sept. l0.-The Figaro, which

SUGAR BOW !. REAPPEARS

While il an Alexandria cafe q day
a. two ago we noticed that the sugar
bowl. from time immemorial regard
ed as an essential in such places, WAS
again in evidence after q lCn% alb
scencc. Customers desiring coffee or
tea are now guaranteed sugar ac-
cording TO their tastes. Herctofor"
the attendants who drew the coffee
or tea were won't to slip che lump
about the size of chestnut into each
e.m. The Oliver Twist example,
asking for more, Was rot tolerated.
During war time sugar, coffee AID
tea generally become scarce. Suust!-
t.tcs for these commodities a"c
brought into requisition. Blu. they
never satisfactorily fill the bill.
During our civi! war sugar, .et
