YAGRANT THOUGHTS.
(Ey Rev. j. NJ. Steadman.)

= 49, g . +
Only those who are entitled TO the
titlc should be called Colonel,
Judge and Boss.
Let no man who puts thorns into
my heart while lived put roses into,
my hands when die.
God Will not accept the most beau
tiful culture for regeneration
That is a poor type Of religion thG;
must be hribcd with a promise or
scared with a threat to do its duty.
Many have SO much Of worthless
treasure that they do not feel the need
of the true.
The foundation Of the eternal house
must be laid in this world.
He who fights the truth only wounds
his own soul.
There is hut one key that can un
lock the kingdom Of dcath-Christ.
The cross Of Christ is the only lad
der on which men can climb to Heaven.

Is probable within a few weeks that

1t was indicated today by Senator
Simmons. chairman Of the committee,
that the new bill would simplify all

of substitution. The Senator thinks it
would be much better to have a

tax OF 1917. and a tax OF 1918 as
might be created under the new bill.

said yesterday. TT would be mani

be placed upon incomes lower than
$1,000. In England. incomes down TO
$500 are taxed. Some Senators say
that practically all incomes should be
made TO bear some share Of the bur-
den.
