AUGUSTA F.. STETSON, esd.

M ORE than nineteen hundred
vl years ago, there lived a man.
who, to human sense, ap-
peared like other men; who walked
among mortals like others. but who
declared he was the Son Of God. This
mans life was beyond the reproach
Of the strictest moralist. His con-
slant efforts were directed to the re-
lief of suffering humanity, to teaching
the people that God was the only
source Of Hfe and po,cer, and that
God manifests His power through His
idea or man, who reflects Life and
Love, Spirit. Mind. He healed all
manner Of disease. opened the eyes OF
the blind and the ears Of the deaf,
gave the hand of compassionate for
giveness to the pehifent sinner, and
raised the dead. He was constantly
preaching and teaching others to pro-
claim Gods power to heal the sick
and to cast out evil thoughts, which
cause suffering and so-called death,
erd so well did some of his disciples
come to understand his method Of
healing. that they. too, performed
many cures. This man declared.
-..he Spirit of the Lord Is upon me,
because He hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor: He
hath sent me to heal the broken
hearted. to preach deliverance to the
captives, to set at liberty
them that are bruised" U.uke iv.,
1S.)
In an age when the people we're
imprisoned by the material senses
the belief Of life and intelligence in
matter,-when they were captives to
disease and broken-hearted by SEEM
ing death--when the preacher with
his prayers, and the physician with
his potion were unable to relieve
human suffering, one would say.
what a blessing q man endowed with
such healing power must have been I!
How the people must have rejoiced,
and loved this public benefactor!
The New York herald., 1921-01-16

Mark records this evidence Of Chrlst's
healing in the following words:
While he yet spake, there came
from the ruler of the synagogue's
house certain which said, Thy
daughter Is dead: why troublest
thou the Master any further?
AS soon as Jesus heard the word
that was spoken, he saith unto the
ruler of the synagogue. Be not
afraid. only believe.
And he suffered no man to follow
him, save Peter. and James. and
John the brother of James.
And he cometh to the house of the
ruler OF the synagogue. and seeth
the tumult, and them that wept and
walled greatly.
And when he was come In, he saith
unto them, Why make We this ado,
and weep? the damsel is not dead,
but sleepeth.
And they laughed him to scorn.
But when he had put them all out,
he taiseth the father and the mother
of the damsel, and them that were
with him. and entereth In where the
damsel was lying.
And he took the damsel by the
hand. and said unto her. Talitha
cunii which Is, being interpreted.
Damsel. say unto thee. arise.
And straightway the damsel
arose, and walked; for she was or
the age of twelve years And they
were astonished with a great aston
ishment.
How the home must have been
gladdened with this evidence Of the
nothingness of the illusion Of death.
Again. how great must have been his
renown. as the paralytic, who had
been helpless thirty-eight years, i'm.
medlately walked. Surely one would
say the clergy would endeavor to
learn the secret OF his prayer. physi-
clans would investigate the power OF
his healing, and both would initiate
such man and follow him.
Jesus had no vices to deter his fol.
lowers from walking with him. He
was loving, sincere, and true. Never
In the history of his earth-life was
there aught found against him. His
was life of blessing In all that land
OF Galilee; and yet, incredible as II
may appear to this age, he was per.
secuted and reviled for opening the
eyes Of the blind, for healing the sick

NOT TO BE MADE TO ORDER
Songs and EmbIems That Live in the Heart of People Must Have
 Foundation.

To wait for a state flower or a state song to discover itself and make itself appropriate might be an inter- minable and disappointing vigil. Gen. turieS could intervene. It is not mere restlessness that asks for a flower to be chosen or song to be written ready to hand, declares the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Posterity may find substitutes that are better, the fruit of happy circumstances, but We in our day may have at least our ready made symbols to feed the romance in our souls.
 Ancient people acquired these spir- itual emblemS and patriotic lyrics through a long and at times painful history Something stirring has to happen to give them birth. Then our soldiers who were in the great war find the poppy the all-significant floral insignia of their heroic days and have adopted it as the visible reminder of them. Ten million silken peoples are to be worn in America on Decorate day

TN PARIS, when our soldier boys of the great city, it was common to meet an American girl taking a bunch of the boys through one or the other of the museums that make part of its glories. They made these trips interesting by telling stories about many of the famous pictures and statues

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
SALARY"

A DM1TTEDLY a necessary
 "A part of everyone's diet, salt, was formerly much more of luxury than it is at pres ent- Deposits of it were con- paratively scarce and the com modity was distinctly high priced. It was for this reason that salarium or "salt money" was included as part of Roman soldiers pay-much as, in the Sixteenth century, pin money" was given to wives for the purchase of pins, then made by hand and quite expensive.
 From his allowance of "salt money' the word salary" as applied to payment for services rendered, was gradually evolved, and it is to the same source that we owe the common colo Quial expression that person ''fs not worth his salt" Owing to the fact that salt is now ob- tainable for few cents pound, this phrase is under stood to mean that a person is practically worthless. But. few centuries ago, it was un- dersuood to mean that, while not much above the average. the person referred to was worth at least something.

SOMETHING TO
 THINK ABOUT
By F. A. WALKER


l with the purpose of Self-preServatlon l whose only object in life is to satisfy | his hunger, cover his nakednesS and provide himself a shelter, may be good | but he won't be good for much"
 A man WITH A BRAIN ought to have something that the machine can not have. He ought to have aspiration l and ambition and a vision of better l future.
 If he has not how is he better than the combination of belts and gears beside which he works?
 I could never quite see why Adam was very severely punished when as result of his infractiOn of the rules of Eden he was told, ''1n the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread l cannot believe that the Creator looked upon work as a curse, a punishment
 Work has brought more joy into the more broken hearts and built more happiness than any other function of mankind.
 Carlyle paid a splendid tribute to work when he wrote, "There is noble ness and even a sacredness in work There is always hope in man who actually and earnestly works. The latest gospel in the world is, know thy work and do it."
 Work will make us love life.
 It is the one means of satisfying ambition.
 It is the one way to turn dreams into realities.
 It is the ONLY way by which man can prove his right to existence and establish the wisdom of the Gre ator in having made him.
 The best part of the story of Alad- din and his lamp was that he had to rub the lamp to get results. He had to work to accomplish what he sought. | And that was much more satisfying | than ever marrying the Sultan's daugh- | ter and living happily ever after.

 The greatest disgrace in this life Is to be idle. To produce nothing, to feed upon the mental or physical labors of others, reduces man to a rank lower than the animals, for they strive at least for their food.
 'He is not only idle who does nothing" says Seneca, but he is idle who might be better employed"
 The thing to do is to find that task for which you are best fitted, which you can do with the greatest efficiency and the greatest pleasure, and do that task with all your might.
 Count your efforts by results.
 The punch that does not land never overcomes your opponent.
 The bullet that spends its energy in the air never helped to win battle.
