PUBLIC DISCUSSION
THE END OF THE AGE.

---A---
In the scriptures the expression END
Of the World" is frequently used. st
Peter tells us that the world came to
an end in the deluge, II was not the
earth which came to an end, merely
that order or condition Of things which
prevailed prior to the deluge ceased
there. A new world, a new order Of
things, was there ushered in. This Is
In strict accordance wtah the proper
translation of the Greek. The common
translation unfortunately has deceived
many. We would better read END Of
the Age"-not end Of the world,
Ages may end and be succeeded by
other ages, but the Bible declared that
the earth abideth forever, v that God
formed II not In vain He formed il to
be inhabited II has never been thor
ough.ly habitahle, nor has It ever been
inhabited, In the proper sense of tho
term The work Of Messlah's kingdom
will be to make Gods footstool elori-
GUS, and TT for those restored TO His
favor, His further work will be to
uplift man and restore him to all that
was lost in Eden and redeemed at
Calvary, He will destroy only the in
corrigible,
In the new order of things started
by Noah and his family, God allowed
humanity TO have its way and to work
out it's own schemes without Divine in
reference, except In extreme cases, He
allowed the world to learn lessons, while
lie carried out His wi great plan, e
which redemption Ia the center, and
Messiah's kingdom the circumference, Tor

HOW TO WRITE A POPULAR SONG.

apologies to w. g. GiIbertD
II you want a recipe for that marvellous mystery
Known to the world as a popular song,
Read all the books about Dixie in history,
Then start to write and you cannot go wrong,
Mention the Suwanee, a steamboat, a whippoorwill,
Honey bees, cotton, red roses that bloom,
Then add a banjo, a cabin upon a hill, 7
And honeysuckle with balmy perfume; =
The Mississippi will lend 1t much atmosphere.
Don't slight old Joe and his son, shuffling Sam:
Don't forget Nanny, whose cooking can always cheer,
And that old pan where she fries eggs and ham;
Just squeeze from Dixie all words that are sOueezable,
The process is simple and easy and feasible.
Then add a few notes that a baby can hum,
And a popular song is the residuum.

HANSON CAB BACK
AGAIN IN NEW YORK
Reaping Harvest Along With
Theaters, Movies, Hotels
and Restaurants.
BY HERBERT COREY.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Six or seven
years ago hansoms went. completely
out Of fashion in this town. The
new gasoline taxis were all the rage.
| Hansoms that cost seven and eight
hundred dollars were sold at auction
| for fifteen dollars. with the harness
! the buyers would do with them. The
most completely useless object on
earth seemed to be hanson. They
were too heavy for country use. even
il the owner felt like sitting on the
roof and talking to his guests through
the hole No doubt many an owner
did feel that way about many guest,
but none had the courage to act.
Now hansoms are an article de luxe
again. They have reappeared on the
streets, SINNER and more rubber tired
than ever. The horses seem to have
improved. so that in place of the de-
jected steeds of yore one often sees
sleek and prancing animals. The
rates are so high, too, that hansoms
are distinctly luxuries. If the aver
hurry he calls taxi. If the summer
heat has gotten into his blood, SO that
h, wants to lol1 on wheels on hot
day or take a girl through the park.
he is apt to select hanson. There
is an air of dignity and repose about
not to be found in taxi.
A Symbol Of Prosperity.
The hanson is a symbol of the pros
perity that has come to Broadway.
Theaters are selling out every night
in spite of the heat and the rain. Nov
ing picture houses have long queues
Of wou1d-be ticket buyers standing in
front of them. The restaurants seem
to be about as full as ever, even If
entertainment is no longer provided
with dinner. Prices are higher than
ever. When the bar against liquor fell
most of the restaurants added to their
list prices. It is advisable to ask for
rooms in advance il one wishes to go
to hotel.
.The hotels are my best customers"
reported one agent for furnished
apartments. They are continually
sending people to me who want to
spend month or SO In town and do
not care to live in a public house."
No doubt much Of this is an after
result of the war. The street Is full OF
soldiers just returned from France. or
recently demobilized. Their relatives
have come to New York to welcome
them back to civil life. But legitimate
business is picking up. too. The news
paper columns announcing the arrival
of buyers are long ones. Strikes and
tranic delays Interfere. beyond al
doubt, but merchants and manufac-
turers are occupied almost to the top 1
Of their present load capacity. The |
help wanted" advertising columns |
speak for themselves. Men are wanted
everywhere. !
