This is what you and be.
lieve. AS to the form of this
ascension we have no exact and
certain knowledge other than
the symbolical language of the
New Testament furnishes us.
But let us not bicker over the
form of the ascension, for it is
the spirit and teaching of all
such statements of fact that it is
essential to grasp first. We
must remain content, as we do
every day Of our lives, with the
knowledge in our own limited
experience of natural plcnome-
ma. The teaching of this phase
of the Christian life is this, most
of us Will agree.
The exit from this life is one
of dissolution Of the bodily state.
Jesus departure partook of this
dissolution but in a way which
was intended to point out to us
that death in bodily, ilcshly
guisc is only Il step, stage in
the progress of the human soul.
Tie left us in manner which
leads MS all to hope and believe
that there is more in store for
rs than mere bodily DISSOLUTION.
Otherwise what is the hope of
life? Is it merely to eat, drinl,
and he merry; to accumulate
goods to improve social and
other conditions; aud then to
leave everything to rot and de
cay; to make and unmake char.
acter with no hope that character
will see even better days and
find its fultilment in Il better, a
more we'll ordered, u more Ger
tain state of being than flesh and
blood knows Of?
No, the hope of life, of living
is more than mere meat and
drink, more than mere dressing
aud undressing day and night,
more than mere planning and
plotting and schcming To oct the
better of our ncighbor in deal.
The nope of life which leads us
on and on and up, and ever near
er To the Kingdom, or better,
democracy of heaven, is the hope
that all our efforts upon this
earth for good will find fruiti-
ton some day, some how, in
closer contact, in nobler, more
uplifting, more purifying knowl-
edge Of God.
The Ascension of the Christ
teaches us that this our hope is
not in vain, and that we must
wait, yes, and work now and in
stantly, on the watch all the
time, for and toward the attain
ment of and preparation for the
Day, that day of all days in
which hc shall come again ia
judge the world. We must be
common-sensc, we must be ra-
tional and we must he patient
with our present ignorance rs Ia
how these things are coming
about, but we must live in hope
and not live in scorn or unbc-
lief of what we do not know bv
or through our actual sensory ex-
perience. This is a vision of
hope. Where there is no vision
the people perish.

DANGEROUS REMEDIES

tCER1OUS as the shortage of houses is
~ and the trouble is one that existed
even before the war and the high cost
of labor and material-the remedy pro-
posed by a committee of builders in this
city cannot be regarded as a wise one.
! What some of the men in the real estate
business propose can be interpreted as
meaning nothing less than partial ban
on government work in this vicinity with
view to releasing labor, and, what is
more, reducing wages.
Il 1t is easy to believe that building
projects are not inviting to any investor
as matters stand. Rentals adequate to
meet the cost of construction and main
tenance of new houses would be almost
beyond the means of most tenants. But
it is Illogical to suppose that such a sit
uation may be bettered by systematic
attempt to force wages downward while
the cost of living which wage earners
must face remains at its present alti-
tude. Until prices elsewhere are re-
duced the prices of material and labor
will have to remain as they are. The
adjustment which the builders hope to
accomplish by appeals to the government
to abandon some of its war contracts
here will have to come in the gradual
reshaping of the whole economic state
not only in one locality but throughout
the country.
The complication which faces builders
in Philadelphia is not to be compared
with complications of a similar sort that
exist in other cities. In New York and
even in New Jersey street-car strikes
and mounting trolley fares continue to
make suburban development enterprises
more and more Of a gamble. Here we
have unlimited open areas ready for the
builders, the new assurance of a five-cent
trolley fare within the city limits and a
constantly improving system of transit.
1t Is only necessary to study the conges-
tion in the central part of the city as it
Is familiar to most observers and as it
was revealed through statistics of crowd
ing embodied in one of Mr.. Moore's cam
paign addresses to see that builders have
not always been ready to make the best
use of their opportunities in and about
Philadelphia. 1t must seem to any one
that even now they will run less risks in
new enterprises than real estate oper-
ators in other communities and that they
ought to be able to worry through with.

Island and elsewhere.

tasks that normally should have been
disposed of in his department. The ad-
ministration permitted him to be steam
rollered whenever the necessity arose
and frequently when it didn't.
Mr.. Redfield ought to be glad to leave
Washington. And the people who sense
the need for an original and capable and
courageous man at the head Of the De-
partment of Commerce in these days of
readjustment and reconstruction ought
to be glad to see him go. The Presidents
cabinet has endured the shocks Of war
better than any of the cabinets Of
Europe. Unfortunately, however, all but
two of the men who quit were the ones
who would have remained if public senti-
ment could have retained them in office.
Mr.. Rcdfeld is to be classed with Bryan
in this instance. McReynolds, Gregory,
Garrison and McAdoo left Washington
with their dignity unimpaired.

TODAY is the last day when citizens
= can volunteer for the fight for good
government.
The registration places opened at Z
o'clock this morning and with the eX-
I ception of the three hours from to 4
o'clock they will be open until 10 o'clock
tonight.
The victory is to be won by a volunteer
army committed to the proposition that
this city is ruled by the people who live
in it and not by a small group of men
who tell the rest of US what we may do
and denounce US when we protest.
! The only compulsion that works is the
eompulsion of conscience. Can a man
IN this crisis consent to be Stacker and
then respect himself when he sees his
face in the mirror? There may be such
men, but if so they have never awakened
to their duty as citizens of democracy.
The number who have already enrolled
for, the conflict is so large that it is
impossible to escape the conclusion that
people of the town are at last awake to
the necessity of taking charge of their
own government.
1t is confidently expected that when
the registration places close tonight the
name of every citizen will be on the rolls
save those who are kept away by illness
or by absence from town at so great a
distance that it is impracticable to get
hare
