CENTRAL AMERICA HAS
MANY BURIED CITIES

Year after year archaeological eX-
petitions sent out by American scien-
tific institutions are penetrating deep
er and deeper into the virgin fastness-
es and are discovering new finds Of
ruined cities, and from the monu-
ments and hieroglyphic inscriptions
they are gradually reconstructing the
outlines of ancient Maya history
which has been for so many years
buried in the vast tropical forests Of
northern Central America, and more
especially in the State of Guatemala.
Thus these splendid memorials of a
forgotten people are slowly coming to

light; and the way it was done was 10y
offering a reward to the chicleroS
(men who gather the sap or gum from
the tree called chicosapote) for bring
ing any news about finding any ROCKS
or any letters or figures upon them.
This plan has led to the discovery Of
several valuable localities or "loca-
tons, which are now being cleared
of the forest and dirt above them.
The ruins of Izlu were discovered
on April 10, 1921, by Carnegie Central
American expedition.
A beautiful example of Maya stone
carving was found tightly clasped in
the roots OF large bread-nut-tree
which was growing on top of it. When
this tree was felled and the altar De-
meath was turned face upward for The
first time in more than 1000 years, 1t
was found to have six columns OF
hieroglyphs sculptured on its top and
in an almost perfect state of preserya-
ton. The translation Of these marks
so far has shown it to be work Of the
Maya era Ca D. 620).-C. B. Emerson,

THE BULWARKS

The bulwarks of our liberty are threat
ened every day; some crisis rises, fierce to

BILE for the future course of this, our ma
tive land; and they crate until they're
hoarse an eagle in each hand. 1t was
the same when I was young. hundred
years ago; the orator unwound his ton
que and waved it to and fro. But little
comfort could l find in all the wordy
din; our sacred bulwarks undermined,
were swiftly caving in. And even now
l can't forget the long nights in my room,
where l would lie awake and fret about
our countrys doom. l used to sit around
and brood, and rend my costly duds;
lost my appetite for food, and couldn't
drink my suds. But as the weary years
rolled by our country thrived and
bloomed, and our palladiums stacked
high, nor knew that they were doomed.
Our government grew great and strong,
our banner paved the air, our bulwarks,
that were doomed so long, were right side
up with care. And so l banished from
my soul the fears I long had nursed. !

Minute Sermon

St. Luke 1888, n; 24::5,6 And
zvhen they had come to the place
qchich is called CALGARY, there they
crucifed Him, and it qVas the sixth
hour, and there qcas darkness over
all the earth until the ninth hour. Why
seek ye the living among the dead?.
He is not here but is risen.
m HE organized churchmen of ma
~ ton, shamed by the spotless char
by the. godlike simplicity of His mes
sage resorted to violence. Betrayed
by a kiss, spat upon and struck while
blindfolded, forced to bear His own
cross and finally nailed to the wooden
bars, He bore his suffering without
malice. Lifting His eyes to the hea-
vens He said, "Father forgive them
they know not what they do"
The world gives freely of riches or
honor to her loved ones, but to the
One who loved the World, her last
words were of insult and her last
gift the cross.
Those who had been made in the
image of God, stained their hands in
the Blood of Divinity and the Sun as
though ashamed of mans wickedness
hid her face.
The darkness of despair was upon
the disciples, the master was dead.
Out of the night, as though to mock
their grief, came the exutant chant
of the evil, secure in the belief that
God was defeated. Little children
cried themselves to sleep that night,
but there was no forgetfulness for His
followers. Jesus was dead!
The coming day sent forth its
jeweled streamers of light as a gloriole
for the masters tomb. Earlier yet,
within the grave, are the diciples with
faces transformed and hearts leaping
with Joy as they hear the words of
two Heavenly beings who say, "He
is not here but is risen. Were words
ever sanctifed by such a message be-
fore? Cruciied by sin, He is restored
by love. He is risen and from the
grave He brings forth the faith, the
joy, and the peace of careless world.
Glorious Easter day. He is risen!

merce, the Downtown Association and the
San Francisco Advertising Club at the
Palace Hotel.
That San Francisco may be selected as
the California site for the huge automo-
bile assembly plant of the Willys-Over-
land Company was announced by John
N. WHY'S at the meeting. c. A. Mussel-
man of Philadelphia, editor of Motor
World gave statistical data about the
ranking industry of the country. He
stated that 13 per cent of all wages paid
in the United States is paid to sustain
the automobile business. That one out of
every eight families is dependent upon tn:
automobile industry.
Mr.. Musselman said the 1922 output
was valued at $2,S65,OOO,OO0. The Sec
end great industry, that of petroleum, had
an output of $2,OsO,oOO,o0O. The steel
industry now occupies sixth place. Since
1910, farm values, through the influence
of the automobile have increased SO per
cent, and in the FIVE states which have
the largest number of automobiles values
have increased 140 per cent.
Similarly, the effect of the automobile
on highway construction has been me-
teoric. In 1917 highway construction
amounted to $2S0,OOO,0OO while in 1922
it was $720,OOO,00O. This roadbuilding,
largely in the rural districts, had been
the means of distributing to 6,5OO,OOc
farms 100000 automobiles.-Ex.

EASY TO BARK

Fault finding is an easy job and thou
sands of people are working at it with
out pay. 1t takes an effort to accomplish
things worth while. Isaac McCurry
illustrates it this way: "A dog hitched
to a lawn mower stopped to bark at y
passerby. The 10y who was riding the
mower said, Don't mind the dog; he is
just barking for an excuse to rest 1t is
easier to bark than pull the machine"
1t is easier to be critical than correct.
1t is easier to hinder than to help. Easier
to destroy reputation than to construct
character. Anybody can gamble, criticize
or censure, but it takes big man to go
on working faithfully at a constructive
task "-Sflecfed.

weekly session of the Pierian Chautauqua
Circle held in the schoolroom
Two essays: minnesota, the Garden
Spot of America" by Mr.. P. J. B., and
"A Visit to the Holy Land" by Mr. J.. A.
K. were read and discussed. The time
illness of Mr.. J. A. KS subject, on ac-
count of the nearness of Easter; and the
colorful description by Mr.. P. ]. B. of
his theme won the approval of the literary
society, and drew laudatory remarks from
both the President and the Critic; the last
named urging the appearance of these
papers in THE MIRROR; in compliance
with which, the Secretary is pleased to
submit herewith, to the readers of the
worthy publication mentioned, the papers
referred to.
President R. J. T. opened the meeting
iii the usual manner-by formal declara-
ton; asking for roll call and reading
of the minutes, which were read and ap-
proved.
Full attendance.
Distribution of books followed.
Honorary Member Deputy L. F. Utecht,
exercised his Fright of franchise" in
distinctly unique manner, aided and
abetted by several members. His subject
was "The Efficacy of Sweet Oil as
Lubricant" Mr.. J. M. c. who handled
the negative promises to add strength to
his arguments at the next meeting; in the
meantime consulting his many text books.
The President with the Messrs. H. c.
H., R. L. NJ, ]. L. and ]. A. K. ex-
pressed profound opinions; and while the
others were silent it could be easily seen
they were raptly attentive and missed not
point. Mr.. A. r. NJ, the Circle Critic,
called attention to the expiration of his
term and requested to be relieved; for
which, the President stated, he will make
arrangements.
However, it is only fair to add that the
Circle appreciates the erudite and dis
passionate service of the retiring critic
The essay on 'Water Power" prepared
by Mr.. J. M. c. was held over, together
with several others, for the next session,
which implies that the Circle schedule
is something to look forward to, as there
are quite number of very practical and
timely subjects to stimulate thought and
promote intellectual well being
