The author of the famous hymn.
''Nearer. My God, to Thee" was =

who was born In England in 1905. Mrs.
Adams was a writer Of note in the
English periodicals. Of her time on sub

Just at what time nor under what cir

hymn. It was first published In 1871.
and the author, dying at forty-four a
few years later, never knew to what
heights of fame 1t was to rise. Since
her death the lines have been sung by
untold millions the world over and
translated from English into every Ian
guage spoken by Christian commune

How Eating Affect. Health.

What we eat has far more to do with
our health than anything else. To be

vacation In the country will improve
the physical condition. But beyond
them and above them the best setting

Juicy, sun-cooked fruits and vegetables

life will leap in the veins when the cir

Eest In every hour. Desire for hard
work and an ability to concentrate the
mind on the most arduous problems

days of the stimulating poisons with

Of the dowager counties Of Derby, in

Too Familiar,

Soon after four-year-old John had
been put to bed the rumbling of the
FIRST thunderstorm Of the season was
heard in the distance. says the New

great excitement. ''Muvver! Muvver |!

"God makes the thunder when he

sleep. dear, and don't call again."
An hour later. when the storm had
passed, Johns mother went to see that
he was covered up, and found him
across the foot Of the bed. as securely
rolled In blankets as mummy in Its
wrapplngs. In the process Of unwind
ing he awoke.
"why did you wrap yourself up like

"God made his lightning wink at me

To Develop Vast Coal FI.Id.

Not only is Longyear City the most

to become plnce Of Importance, now
that Norwegian company has taken
over the vast coal fields Of Spitxbergen.
The enterprise Is on very large scale.
The coal fields which the Norwegian
company will develop cover an area
Of over 656 square miles, of which one
seventh has been surveyed, and 1t Ia
estimated that this alone will yield
something like 1OO,OOO,O0O tons Of coal
from the first stratum. and the second
stratum will probably yield as much
more. There are other coal veins Of
which little Is yet known. The en-.
terprise is regarded as national one,
and eventually thousands Of miners
will be employed. "'i. "

Opportunity In Syria.

From the comparatively few letters
that pass the rigid censorship Of the
Turkish government, the Presbyterian
board In the United States learns that
the work of the Syria mission Is going
on as usual. The boys schools have
not as large attendance as In ordinary
years, owing to the fact that 30 many
homes have suffered financial losses.
The girls school. however, at Beirut.
has more applicants than 1t can take
care Of. This IL because Of the fact
that the schools carried on by mis-
sionaries Of other nationalities. such
as the French and English, have been
closed and the missionaries sent away.

A young Kentuckian lost big for

The cheerless old fellow with the

Time Is cheap and we are apt to

1t Is always ourselves we rob, not

Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late In keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, II any. Is your

the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time. too. II your time Is worth

In many cases 1t may not matter
