Secret of Book of Revelation.


The number 666 used in the Bible
as symbolizing the beast is constant
source Of speculation as to what per-
sonage the mystic mineral indicates
According to Prof S. e. Slocum of the
University of Cincinnati, the key to
the riddle lies in the fact that in the
case of the Greek form of the name
of Nero, written in Hebrew characters,
the letters of the name have each a
numerical significance according to
the number notation of the Hebrews,
and the sum of the numbers is 666
The apostle in excoriating the EN-
peror would have found it unsafe to
mention him outright, or in some OBJ.
vious symbolism, such as in Latin or
Greek numbers, while using Hebrew
characters would be fair concealment
to Roman eyes. The other imagery
of the Book of Revelation works out
strlkingly in accordance with the as
sumption that John was writing dis.
creetly about the prosecuting Roman
emperor. ,.-

Women and the Movies.

I believe the next generation of
women will be more interesting In
every way, because of the stimulus
given to their lives by the motion
pictures. I notice so much difference
in the women I meet since the pic
lures have become popular. The en-
tire world has been visualized for
them; it has been like universal edu-
cation. Not merely for the women who
have lacked advantages, mind you, but
more especially for the type Of women
whose outlook has been limited by
their intellectual concepts-who could
not be made to believe that there was
anything worth while outside Of their
special circle of culture.-~Margarlta
Fischer, in Film Fun. 't,..

A Tribute In YsrAe to the Memesy
of Wellington Bird
Composed by a Friend and Former

Composed by a Friend and Former
Neighbor.
A Seraph down from heaven sent,
Wellington, thy life on earth is spent,
Twas not in vain the Seraph said,
Twas lifted up his weary head.
Thy work is done thy suffering Ger,
Come go with.me to yon bright shore,
Agone they fed earth knows no balm
Save to sing alone a sweeter psalm.
Across the swelling dismal flood
They sing alone twas by the blood,
Your savior crossed this way before,
Farewell to earth, their spirits soar.
Behold, they reach the heavenly gate,
Ajar it stands, you're not too late,
Come, join this band you've sought
so long, T
The heavenly choir, the blood wash
ed throng.
This stalwart man his strenth de-
manded,
Twas lent his neighbor when COM
manded,
His moral love it knew no bounds,
His name It now immortal sounds.
His prayer ascends his thoughts SO
pure,
His life so true it will endure,
His choice while here was only trust,
But now he lives among the just.
We beard him read that book so well,
He loved it much no tongue can tell,
Its sacred page, it's lesson bright,
He's, only gone where is no night.
Who thenwill fill his humble berth
That holy corner at the church,
They'll miss him there>a vacant place
He's only gone to see Gods face.
His body rests beneath the sod,
His spirit gone to be with God,
The lightnings flash he'll see no more
His path will be the golden shore.
If only those who're left behind,
Will all his precepts bear in mind,
They, too, may reach the shining fold
And walk with well" the streets of
gold.
