LOOKING FOR GHOSTS

There was large gathering of peo-
pie who believe in ghosts at the Inter-
national Spiritualist Congress in Paris,
many of the delegates being distinguished
in the material world, in addition to their
claimed ability to communicate with the
spirit world.
Among the proceedings was the deci-
sion to erect monument to the Fox sisters,
founders of modern spiritualism."
Continued recognition of the Fox
acknowledgements, Kate, Maria and Leah
who began their famous seanees at
Hydesville, N. Y, in 1s48, appears some
what strange, in view of the fact that Mar
garetta later confessed that their spirit
rappings" were fraudulent, being pro-
duced by their ability to dislocate their
joints at will with loud cracking noise.
She afterwards appeared on the stage in
many cities exposing and demonstrating
these frauds.
With the Fox seances as a beginning,
however, spiritualism spread like wildfire
and gained many adherents in America
and Europe. Many eminent men have
been convinced that communication with
the spirits of the dead is possible.
The great body of scientific men,
however, are skeptical, while generally
maintaining an open mind regarding this,
as they do concerning other ideas and
theories which have not been definitely
proved to be erroneous. In the light of
present knowledge most rational persons
consider spiritualism as plain bunk.

SMALL TOWN FACTORIES

No community and no state ever be-
came fully prosperous through agriculture
alone, declares 7. r. Preston, former presi-
dent of the American Bankers Association.
who is a strong advocate of combining in
dustry with agriculture by locating fac
tories in the smaller communities.
Mr.. Preston cites particularly the
small cities and towns of North Carolina,
Pennsylvania and Ohio as affOrdiDg excel
lent examples of such combination. He
points out that industry and agriculture
are well balanced with the result that the
farm problem is less acute in those states.
The idea of locating new factories in
towns and villages, instead of further con-
centrating them in congested centers of
population, is spreading throughout the
country, and some of the largest factories
are now so located. An example Is Kings
port, Tenn, with only few thousand pop
ulation, yet Boosting the largest book
printing plant in the world, besides other
important industries.
The benefits derived from this de-
Capitalization of industry is seen in an me
creased market for local farm products,
employment of surplus labor. elevation of
living standards for both farmer and fac
tory employee, increases in taxable wealth,
better schools and other public facilities.

CHAPTER THE SEVENTH.

aOy the Pharisees received these lessons from our

and thought themselves superior to all mankind. As

would not lift up eyes Heaven but struck his breast
and only said God be mercul to me. Sinner! And God
rather than the other and would be better pleased with
his prayer because he made it with humble and loWy
hcart.
The Pharisees angry at being taught these
things they employed spies to ask Our Saviour
questions and try to entrap Him into saying something
which was against the Law The Emperor OF that coun
try. who called Caesar, having commanded tribute
money regularly paid to him by the people, and being
cruel against any who disputed his right to it. these
spies thought they might perhaps induce our Saviour to
say 1t an unjust payment and so to bring himself
under the Emperors dispeasure Therefore, pretending
to be very humble, they came to Him and said Master
you teach the word of God rightly and do not respect
persons of their wealth high station Tell
is it lawful that should pay tribute to Caesar"
CHRIST who knew their thoughts, replied why do
ask? Shew me penny" They did so. Whose image
and whose name, is this upon it,? he asked them They
said Caesars" 'Then, said He, Render unto Caesar
the things that Caesars"
So they left Him; yery much enraged and disappointed
that they could entrap Him. But Saviour knew
their hearts and thoughts well He knew that other
men c0nsprng against him. and that he would soon
be put to Death. =,
