Tracks of God.

Father" asked Thomas, looking up
from his studies, chow do you know
there is God?"
"Why, what makes you ask the ques-
ton? Do you doubt the existence of
Gcd ?"
"Well, heard one of the students
say that he had been reading a book
that proved concusively that you
could know nothing about God, nor
even be sure there is a God. He said
that, if there were God, He was out
side of the world and of such nature
that we could not know Him. Is there
any way really to know"
"Well, my boy, do you remember
the other day that you were laughing
about Robinson Crusoe's dismay ct
discovering that there were other per-
sons on the island besides himself =?
How did he discover them? Did he
see them? No; he discovered one
track of bare foot in the sand, and
lie knew that it could not be his own.
He knew that only human being
could have made it, and he knew that
whoever made it could not be far off,
for the tide had not yet reached it,
All those things he knew to be true,
although he had not seen a human
being within miles of the island. And
the knowledge was all gained from a
mark in the sand.
"If one print of bare foot in the
sand is absolute proof of the existence
and presence of human being, what
are we to suppose when we see the
prints of the Masters shoe, as Bunyar
calls it, covering the whole wide world
We see a million creatures that only
God could make. We see on mountain
and in valley the print of the fingers
of God. We see a million flowers and
! plants and trees that only God could
make grow. We see all the rivers and
the springs of the world fed from the
sky. We see great universe, perfectly
made and ordered from the tinieSt
/ Speck to the greatest of all the worlds
What do all those things mean-thost
millions upon millions of footprints If
the clay of the world? They near
I God, living, present, ruling and loving
They mean God and nothing else

"As an outstanding instance Of how

"The working Of IL proved unequal

Ne,c York Has No
Shortage OF Homes

New York Is one Of the few
cities Of the country which is not
confronted with shortage of
homes, according to a survey of
real estate conditions compiled by
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards, which met here a
week ago. The survey covers LAG
cities located in every section of
the country. Only forty-three
cities, one Of which was New
York, have reported an ample
supply Of homes. The informa-
tion was supplied to the bureau
of information of the national
board by the local committee man
in each city. The survey says that
New York Is overbuilt in high
glass apartments; that walkup
apartment houses rent from S6 to
$14 a room; that loft space rents
for ST to $3 square foot, and
Office space for So to SO square
foot and stores for $50 for 1000
square feet. 1t says that the de-
mand for residential property is
good, but that the call for busi-
ness property Is slightly under
that displayed last year. Labor
available here is low in efficiency
and scarce in quantity. Money
for mortgage investment is fairly
plentiful. The rates for money
are given at 51a and s per cent.
There are only two cities in the
l46 reporting, which have cheap
er money. They are Buffalo and
Tujunga Valley, Calf. These
conditions are Of October 9.
