You Are No
Authority
on Heaven
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
HUMAN beings still are tremen-
Il 4 dously concerned with religion
Compared to our forefathers, we
may seem negligent of concern
about the welfare Of our souls, but
this is only pose and it is as
easy to stir up religious contro-
versy today as it ever was. Down
IN his heart every man puzzles over
his ultimate fate.
Letters addressed to the open
forum of newspapers discuss end
lessly these stupendous subjects.
And reading them with any degree
of consistency one is struck by the
cocksure tone used by most cor
respondents. Here is an average
specimen:
"As there has been so much said
lately about immortal life, death
and the spirit, I will try {, clean
away the smoke and fog that has
been raised concerning these sub
jects." Then the writer goes OIL
to quote voluminous scriptural pas
sages to prove his contentious.
The man who knows nothing Of
astronomy, science, geology, or his
tory is almost sure to be the one
who is certain that he knows ev-
erything about God Seldom is he
stumped by facts or figures.
He goes blandly on, dwelling his
opinions, and never stops to ask
himself whether they are an atom
more worth while than the opinions
Of the man with whom he does not
agree.
The chances are they are not.
This is the reason why it is so fool
ish and futile for us to attempt to
settle questions of faith or creed for
others. The ideas we possess are
those which have been implanted
into us by our ancestors or our early
training, and are very seldom the
result of any study or thinking on
our part.
Sometimes they are merely the
alibis Of our physical natures. Why,
therefore, should we attempt to put
them off on other people as incon-
trovertible truths? And why does
the man who guesses wrong on
everything under the sun, from the
stock market and elections to the
number of beans in the bag, feel
perfectly sure that he is right about
heaven and hell and immortality?
The world would be better place
for living if we could all forget for a
while our favorite scriptural pas
sages and remember only the one
which says, Love one another"

VARIOUS epidemics of diseases
Y effecting the nose, throat and
lungs have been recorded under the
name of influenza.
One outbreak was fully described
as occurring in France in 1859, an
other occurring as far back as 1877.
Since the great epidemic of 1918,
investigators have been attempting
to ascertain whether that was SINH
lar in character to the one which
occurred in 1847 and the one that
took place in 1889.
1t now has been rather generally
agreed that the condition was eS-
sentially the same and that such
attacks occur in cycles of approx
mately thirty years.
In epidemic influenza the per-
son is suddenly seized with mild
fever, headache, pain in the back
and in the legs.
There is running at the nose and
remarkable degree of prostration
out of proportion to the severity of
the symptoms.
There is also a multiple liability
to secondary bronchitis and pneu-
monia. There seems to have been
much more pneumonia in 1918 than
in the epidemics of 1889 and 1890.
DR.. E. o. jordan in his survey of
influenza epidemics which have
swept the world considers partic-
ularly those of 18O2-18O3, 1805-1806,

East wins with the ace. East must

case North is certain of taking two
tricks.
But If the nine Of clubs had been
opened, East would nave returned
a club, forcing South to win and
return diamond. On the dia-
mond lead, either East or West
could have trumped while the
other discarded his last club.
If South is foolish enough to
open a diamond, the ruffling and
discarding takes place at once.

Triumph Over Odds

The greatest defect in our system
of justice in this country is the
knowledge that thousands upon
thousands OF people are able to defy
it with impunity.
The embryo criminal is exactly
like the embryo gambler, stock
trader, or any other variety of
sucker. He thinks constantly of
those who have won. So long as he
can find them, he feels he has 4
chance.
Nothing appeals to youth like
s-ccessful defiance of any system,
like triumph over great odds, like
Individual bravado. The thief who
steals and gets away with it in spite
of $4,000 cops appeals to him as be-
ing a hero.
The murderer who walks the
streets with the blood of some
human being on his hands, who is
pointed out as having beaten the
state, has the influence of a movie
star.
He would rather take the de-
tective who gets his man." as a
model, but there are too few of
them, except in fiction.
