Danish History Centers in Old City of Viborg

Viborg is one of the oldest (some
maintain the oldest) cities in Den
mark. AS far as history goes back,
there has always been a city there.
1t is beautifully situated on two hills
and along the shores of two lakes
For centuries the Danish kings had 20
be crowned there before they were
actually regarded as kings.
The city has always been a re-
ligious center. In the Twelfth and
Thirteenth centuries there were %
churches and many cioisters. although
the town at that time had only about
1000 inhabitants. The city has
burned several times, which accounts
for the fact that most of the buildings
dating from the Middle ages are gone
Even now, Viborg is one of the
most beautiful cities in Denmark, and
thousands of tourists visit it each

Boiling Point of Water

The boiling point of water varies
with the pressure. In water under or
dinary conditions it is 212 degrees
Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Centigrade.
but it becomes less with lessened at
mospheric pressure, as in ascending
a mountain. being lowered about one
degree Fahrenheit for every $50 feet
of ascent or one degree Centigrade for
every 961 feet. The boiling point of
water at the summit of Mt Blanc
(15,1S1 feet) is about S5 degrees Cesd-
grade. 1t would take less heat to
raise the temperature of water to 81
degrees Centigrade than It would take
to raise it to 100 degrees Centigrade.
Thus water would boil more quickly
at higher level.

Spasmodic Religion.

90, Judah, what shall do unto thee2
for your goodness Is a. Q morning
cloud, and as the dew that goeth early
away."-Hos. ga.
There aye many people today like
these ancient people Of Judah. They
arc religious by spells. Now and then
they become ashamed Of the way they
are living and resolve to lead worthier
life. Usually their repentance Is occa-
stoned by some calamity, or sorrow, or
by O message from the pulpit that
prtcks their conscience and heart. Stir
red by the impulse Of the moment, they
become very devout and pious and star
tie everybody by their amtability and
unwonted acts OF generosity. But moth
ing permanent comes Of 1t. Their gra-
cious mood is like "the dew that goeth
earl y away" Their goodness is like "a
morning cloud" that quickly dissolves
under the suns heat. And their whole
religious life is like that, ever beginning
anew, then relapsing.
Such transient goodness is Of no real
| value. II our religion Is to be worth
anything, 1t must be continuous and
| uniformly acting force throughout our
whole lives, and not merely sporadic
and spasmodic, by fits and starts.
Some fluctuation there will always be.
| The very exercise Of emotion tends to
its extinction. Varying conditions Of
health and other externals will affect
the manifestations Of the spiritual life
But 1t Is not necessary that every
moment Of elevation should have q
corresponding moment Of depression.
We need not be at the mercy of our
alternating feelings. If the fire Is
burning low, there Is such a thing on
the hearth as a poker, and Goals are
At hand. BY feeding our faith with the
proper fuel, and by asserting control
over our hearts, as we may If we will,
we can possess the blessing Of an ap-
proximately uniform religious life. And
that Is the only sort Of religious life
that yields enduring satisfaction, or that
bears any fruit worth growing.
The trouble with the spasmodic
saint Is that his religion has no depth
II may be fancy, sentiment, 1magina-
ton, or hysteria; but 1t is not, the
Righteousness Of God rooted In deep
conviction. The Bible puts no value
"on sudden exuberance of feeling, on
surprised confession. on temporary
panic or ecstasy, on the glow and gleam
that die away into coldness and dark
ness" The only religion that counts
IL that which Is grounded in an abid-
ing faith, and which results in q con-
secrated life that perseveres through
sunshine and storm. through months
and years steadfaSt to the end. Let US

What Is Being WORTH

Every once in O while some scien-
list reminds US that the chemical value
Of the human body Is about % cents
And then sensible people remind Us
that human beings were not intended
to furnish the world with chemical ele-
ments, and that human beings are
worth considerably more alive, or even
dead.
A woman like Florence Nightingale,
who brought succor to Thousands OF
wounded soldiers In the Crimean War
and who was the inspiration for the
Red Cross organizations, Is worth con-
siderably more than SO cents.
Who could place . price tag on
women like George Eliot. Eleonora DuSe
Rosa Bonheur and others who made
life more enjoyable, and the world q
more beautiful place in which to live.
There are some things that are price
lesA and 30 were these women.
Would any one dare to evaluate Mrs
Thomas Lincoln, mother Of the Emanci-
pator, or, for that matter, the mothers
OF any Of our great men? They brought
into this world human stuff that science
could never create. While the earth In
their bodies might have been worth go
cents, who would not hold that their
value TO the living is beyond human
power TO appraise?

the only ones who make the 90 cents
evaluation of the scientist meaningless.
Every woman in every home who helps
to make her home happy. contented
place in which to live Is one Of the
priceless assets Of her community.
All of us cannot win fame, and fame
is not the measure Of success in every
instance What we do with our bodies
determines their value. The criminal Is
not even worth 90 cents to the COM
munity, because he Is liability far
greater than 98 cents. The lazy woman
Is worthless, and the extravagant
woman Is as valueless.
When the scientist puts an evalua-
ton of 90 cents on some women he is
merely fiattering them. The mother
who neglectS her home or children has
no place on the credit side Of life. The
woman who wastes herself in idlenees
Is only worth SO cents as a bad ex-
ample" In short, what we are worth
depends upon what use we make OF our
bodies.
The human body is the divine creation
Of God. and it is worth to humanity far
more than the earth that Is in 1t. or
far less, depending upon how It serves
its soul. Science that appraise us at
90 cents could not reproduce us at any
price. There Is plenty Of material at
hand, but only one Divine Maker.
