Did anybody telephone me while was out?" demanded Caroline as usual before she had completely got inside the house.

 "How I hate statistics and mathe- matics," said Caroline energetically- ''Well, did ="
 "Yes, admitted the father of the family. Somebody did. Just ten min utes after Alice left heere having spent the whole afternoon with you, she called up to say she had forgotten something terribly important that she wanted to tell you. I tried to con- vince her that I was model or discretion and she could eonfide in me, but she was reserved and refused don't see why girls can't be trust ing and open hearted.

 "Oh, I know" Caroline interrupted. ''She wanted to tell me that John cail- ed on Edith again last evening-an- other girl told me while I was out. Any one else?"

 "Oh that would be lovely!" gasPed Caroline.
 Huh" grow1ed her father. well, when got to the phone it was Ger trude. wish Gertrude were not so sweet. But when she heard my voice she was so glad to get word with me and how I was feeling and wasn't just bored to death talking to her and oh, could I remember to give you q message?

or a charmer, or consulter with fa- miliar spirits. or a wizard, or a ne- cromancer, for all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord; and because Of these abomin- ations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee" Deut. IS: :9-12.
 When they say unto You. Seek un- to them that have familiar spirits, and wizards that peep and mutter: Should not a people seek unto their God? On behalf of the living should they seek unto the dead? To the law and the testimony: If they speak not according to this word, It is because there is no light in them. Isa. S:19- 20.
 Satans lie to Eve is all there is to prove Spiritism by God told the couple in Eden that if they ate of the forbidden fruit. they should surely die. Satan said they would not surely die and he and his consorts, the fallen angels are doing all they can to make people believe this lie, that our dear ones are more alive than ever. There could be volumes written on this sub ject. What would be the use of a resurrection if there are none to resurrect? And what does the Lord mean when He says: Tn that day, all that are in their graves shall hear His voice and came forth. Unto the resurrection of judgment. Jne. 5:2S, 29.
 Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Gen. s.1a. All are of the dust, and all turlSte dust again. Ecel. S:20. That which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; as the one dieth, so also dieth the other. Feel. 3:1e. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was. and the spirit shall return to the God who gave it. Feel. 12:7.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Are Pants Vehicles?

Mir. Editor: Considering the intri- eacies of the labyrinthie naZeS into which the dry law opponents have become involved they are cogitating on the feasiblty or the expediency of contending, that a pair of pants came under the head of vehicle.
 This allegation was born from the incident of Chicago bank president carrying a flask containing cocktails in his hip pocket.
 The aforesaid bank president was recently arrested by some federal pro- hibition agents when he was caught red-handed pulling the aforesaid flask from the aforesaid hip-pocket of the aforesaid pants and thereupon openly and brazenly concorting highballs for himself and three companions.
 The federal agents arrested the banker on the grounds that the use Of a hip pocket as a conveyance where in to carry liquor makes the banker s trousers a vehicle within the meaning of the dry law. and that the garment is subject to seizure and sale.
 Heretofore these necessary tegu- ments have been regarded by man to function as wearing apParsl only. and mans right to this claim has hither- to never been questioned,
 It would seem that the application of and extreme analogy of pants to ve- hicles could be brought no closer than that pants are worn on mans travel ing equipment, or, perhaps, after be- ing worn an undue length of time by some wandering dereliets, pair of pants might, being discarded, possess some of the clements of loco motion somewhat akin to that of ve- hicle, although, precisely speaking. a vehicle is supposed to move on wheels or runners.
 Whether or not pants will become popular as vehicles is in the realms of conjecture. However, what is thought today to be chimerical may tomorrow be found to be practical. Who knows but what pants may, in time, super sede trolley cars as vehicles. especially in such winters as the present one. c. L. PERKINS.

SOCIAL AFFAIRS

at s.15 instead of g? Somewhat dash ed at the drsariness of the conversa- tion I went back to my chair; my cold pipe and my upside down book-and
 the bell rang again. It was Harvey asking for you"
 "HarveyF' shrieked Caroline, fall ing into chair. 9Why, the very ideal I thought he must be dead and buried.
 What did he call up for. I'd like to
 know"
 T cannot understand this modern
 attitude" complained her father, dis
 apprevingly. T thought when a young
 man phened a girl she burst into cooes
 and gurgles of joy, instead of taking
 his attention as a suspicious circum-
 stance. What's the matter with
 Harvey?"

 girls just laugh if say he has called up."
 1 "Um," commented her parent. What do you young persons hav-a sort of clearing house session every day to boast of individual popularity. I must say, you're romantic. Harvey is a | fine young chap and he's driving a new car now and"

Stories That Recall Others.
Made Her shiver.

The young woman had made known her wants to the drug store clerk, when the latter inquired the quantity wanted
 Suppesing, without any real reason for it, that it wouldn't be. more than a half dollar and certainly not over a dollar she asked for fotlr ounces.
 Returning to get the package short ly after she was dumbfounded to find the price was s2.25. Even the clerk was sympathetic and said that he could have prepared a smaller quantity just as well.
 The young woman in telling of the incident said "Why. I just shivered I was so surprised, and realized had bought something"

Spiritism,

Spiritisn.
 Mir Editor In reading the letters of different people on Spiritism, it is strange to Npe how any Bible student, or any one that knows the least thing of Gods word, can possibly help see ing that F. J. W, who wrote the let ter of the 12th. is correct in what he wonder how many who read that let ter looked up the passages of Scrip ture he~gave on this very thing.
 Satan is very willy, and many are under the strong delusions spoken of in the Scripture. I am a Bible stu dent but don't get a chance to study as often and as much as I would like to. But I have been taught what I know by a genuine student of Gods word, One who, fully believe (with thousands of others all over the time to give meat in due season to the household of faith. (The man with the ink horn. Spoken of in Eze. 9:2.)
 1 do not know r. J. ". personally, but I think he, also, has been or is a Bible student. He did not tell us he could cite Or find so and so in the Scripture but he found and sent it. We are well aware that. Spiritism is gain ing a strong foothoId over many peo-
 
 other proof that Gods word is the truth. It is sjust what this faithful messenger of Gods word proved by that word. It would do. And we see very plainly since our eyes are opened that each prophecy is being fulfilled right before us who have had the love of the truth fulfilled in us. Now we know that we must put on the whole l armor of God. That ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil | For our wrestling s not aganst flesh and blood, but against the principali- ] ties, against the powers, against the | world rulers of this darkness against | the spiritual hosts of wickedness in 1 heavenly places" Eph. 6:11, 12 i (AmercaH Standard revised version.) i Let every one beware of testing these things. If they first do not have l on this full armor, which is Gods l word. I never beloved in anything or a religion that one had to pay al 1 they could get inside. But I tried it and nearly all the churches, and have listened to different evangelists
 but I never found the meat I hunger
 ed for until ! found it in the Bible
 through the keys and other writings of ths wonderful prophet of God, Oul Heavenly Father through Him gave
 us this key to His blessed Truth | which I, for one, would not take al | the money in the world for I have l lost all my husband and my daugh-
 ter, who was dearer than my own life
 but l would not believe, and nothing
 could make be believe in these awful
 things. for they are contrary to tht 1 only word we have to go by. Le spiritual Israel hear the word of thu
 Lord to fieshly Israel: When thol
 art come into the land which tht
 Lord, thy God giveth thee. thou shal
 not learn do after the abomination,
 of those nations. There shall not b, l found among you any one that

Smell Would Do.

Recently several women were wait ing in a pharmacy until a car came along. A eelored woman entered and asked for 6 certain kind of oil She was told, tIt was s2.5o an ounce. How much do you want?'
 Finally disceneerted at the price she hesitated a minute and then as her face frightened said earnestly: May be a drop would be enough"
 The druggist seriously replied, Lady, we don't sell it by the drop"
 The ludicrous side of the situation appealed to the waiting spectators and they began to laugh. One of them remarked, Well, at that price I think a smell would be sufficient"
