After Death, What?

Decoration Day, and everybody
thinking of death, the following won
the first prize of $500 offered last
week by the Wichita Eagle, there be-
ing over a thousand competitors. 1t
is surely a pretty idea of Death and
the Hereafter:
when we pass through the change
called death it will be like going from
one room to another or graduating
into a higher grade of school.
'We lay aside the worn out body as
we would an old coat or dress. Life
is eternal progression and everything
in nature is of slow growth so with
the evolution of our soul conscious
ness, we come gradually into our soil
growth. We cannot skip grade.
''The passing out of this. life IS as
natural as coming into it. 1t is only
passing from the shadow or darkness
into the light of the full day and only
for our selfshness for the loss OF
those who have gone to higher
grade, it would be time of rejoicing
for do we not rejoice when our chill
dren graduate from High School to
College?
''If we live up to our highest ideals
each day we will have made all the
preparations necessary for the next
life and we have eternity to evolve.
.Au the Boundless Universe is Life
There is no Death

CONTINUED DROUTHS IN CHINA
CROPS LOST
Spring Harvest in Province of Chill
Failure 2,OOO,OOO Sufferers
Must be Fed Until Aug
ust Harvest
HELP MUST BE GIVEN QUICKLY
Funds will be Cabled to China and
Food Bought and Distributed.

The great drouth in China contin-
ues. The spring crop in the Pro-
vince of Chihli was a total failure.
This means that 100000 people
now being fed by relief funds, must
be cared for until the summer crop
is harvested in August
This information comes from
Thomas w. Lamont, Chairman of the
American Committee, by cable from
Pekin. Mr.. Lamont pleads with the
people of America to give immediate
help. Funds will be cabled to Pekin
and food will be bought and immed-
lately distributed in the famine area.
Ten Foreign Mission Boards and
Interdenominational organizations
have appealed to Mr.. Lamont for him
to continue the relief work until
August, basing their action upon the
fact that much of the good done to
date will be lost unless relief is pro
vided from America.
The one question is: Shall these
victims, given hope by America, be
abandoned now before they can sup
port themselves, after having been
saved through the winter?
Send your contribution-ten, five,
two dollars, half dollars amount
will save a life, to W. W. Bowman,
Treasurer, China Famine Relief Fund

THE YOUNG WIDOW

She is modest, but not bashfal;
Free and easy, but not bold;
Like an apple-ripe and mellow;
Not too young, and not too old;
Half inviting, half repulsive,
New advancing, and now shy;
There is mischief in her dimple,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She is schooIed in all her arts;
She has taken her diploma
AS the mistress of all hearts;
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
o, the maid is sometimes charming;
But the widow all the while.
Are you sad? how very serious
Will her handsome face become;
Are you angry? she is wretched,
Lonely, friendless, fearful, dumb;
Are you mirthful? how her laughter.
Silver sounding will ring out;
She can lure, and catch, and play you
AS the angler does the trout.
You old bachelor of forty,
Who have grown so bold and wise,
Young Americans of twenty,
With the lovelocks in your eyes,
You may practice all your lessons,
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But know a little widow
Who can win and fool you all.

the treasurers for the purpose of ex-
planning the law. Beginning July l,

new act is So, which apples to Fords.
