so often a failure; the reason that so
many people fly to the divorce
courts to get rid of the husbands ana
wives with whom they were so
madlv in love a few years ago and
whose companionship they now flnd
uncomfortable; the reason that so
many homes are perpetual storm
centers is because mens and women
give so little heed to this question
of similarity of taste and interest IN
selecting their mates.
Nor are they to blame for this.
Nature, which cares only for the
good of the race and not at all for
the happiness of the individual, has
ordained that there shall be a fatal
attraction of opposites. This is why
big men cannot resist baby dolls:
why learned men become infatuated
with beautiful morons; why grave
and sedate men fall in love with
girls whose whole conception of life
is a jazz party, and why the poor
man who has his way to make in the
world is irresistibly attracted to the
human fashion plate.
And they get married, and live
scrappily ever afterward.
For having drawn together the
men and the women who had not a
thought, nor an ideal, nor an ambi.
ton in common, nature washes her
hands of the job and leaves them
to work out their fate with tears and
heartaches and misery.
This attraction of the opposites
does not last. Tt is a mere flash in
the pan, gone before the ink on the
wedding certificate is hardly dry,
and then we have the tragedy OF
two people being tied together for
life who have nothing in common,
who do not even speak the same
language.
Before marriage their difference
from each other gave each the faSci-
nation OF an undiscovered country
to the other. After marriage it
builds a stone wall between them
that neither has the power to scale.
Strange, but true, that the very I'M
likeness that attracted couple to
each other before marriage repulses
them afterWard.
TIE ignorance that the intellectual
man found so enchanting in his
sweetheart hores him to tears in his
wife. The perpetual giggling. and
laughing and jumping about that

a plan. You've all read it. or if

was a living picture, and whose

Doubtless, even King Cophestua
knocked the beggar maid, with
whose simplicity he had fallen in
love, FOR not being sophisticated and
knowing the ways of courts and
lacking q regal air when he got her

Enduring love and perfect com.
partnership is only possible between
people who are made Of the same
clay and cast in the same mold. The
friends of whom we never tire are
those who like the same dishes we
do; who vote the same ticket; who
read the same books, and who canter
along by our sides on the same hob
by-horses.
We soon weary of those who have
no taste and interest in common with
us; who prefer corn-beef and cab
bage to the masterpieces of a Frenc}.
chef: who never see anything
through our eyes; who yawn in our
faces when we try to talk about the
book or play that has stirred us to
the very depths Of our soul, and with
al N,

us sore and bruised in spirit.
And if this is true of just ordinary
friends and acquaintance it is q
thousandfold more true of husbands
and wives. No matter what virtues
and good qualities; no matter how
true and loyal they may be: no mat
ter how conscientiously they do their
duty by each other, their marriage
is bound to be a failure unless they
are congenial. They are bound tc
lose their affection for each other
unless they are congenial. Nothing
else except congeniality keeps love
alive between a man and woman.

| icus. How it is that Moses and
| David and others were so far ahead
| of their times? Simply that God
was speaking through them, and
men are just now discovering that
what God said is true. Scientists
have been and still are trying to
make us believe that all animal and
vegetable life came from single
! erotoplasmic cell, and by gradual
changes has gradually evolved from
the lower to the higher until we have
man. But God said that sach plant
was to bring forth after its kind,
each animal after his kind, each bird
after his kind: that man was made in
His image, and brought forth after
his kind-and every bit of evidence
in biology, anatomy, chemistry,
paleontology, and geology is dem
onstrating that God is true and the
so-called scientists mistaken. The
Book is accurate and down-to-date.
1t IS Gods Word, not mans.
Gematria
Perhaps the most striking evidence
OF the truth of the claim that it is
God-breathed is this: In the world
OF nature, the works of God, we
find the law of numbers operative.

example. the number figures
largely in the animal kingdom. The
period of CESSATION of an egg is 7X3
-21 days; that of a rat is 7XS-21
days; that of a guinea pig is 7x4;
that of the human embryo is 7x4x10.
The number figures in light and
sound-there are seven collars, and
seven tones. Sometimes it is or
e.g., in a flower there are petals
or some multiple of five; or or
3, or some multiple of them-but
always the same factor in every
flower Of AGiven species.
IL the numbers operates in
the works 4 God we should expect
it to operate in the Word of God
if it is Gods Word and it does. For
example the number is factor
in every name of Christ after the
incarnation. This number is also
a factor in the names of all those
who are Gods friends throughout
every book in the Bible, while Is is
a factor in the names of the devil
and in The names of every enemy
of God through every book in the
Biblet
BY this We mean that each He
brew and each Greek letter had
numerical value. and the sum of
the numerical values of the letters
in name was called the gematria
of that name. For Instance the
gematria of Jesus-spelled Iesous in
Greeks S8S. Now you can imagine
that these 40 men writing over
period of 1900 years could have
just happened to have used these
words and letters which would have
the above noted characteristics The

 The attorney general holds that the statute declaring marriage a civil contract to be entered into by males of q and females of IS is not altered by the passage of the new bill, which relates only to the age of majority.
