Purpose of the Mortgage

A mortgage is written document
pledging a certain piece of property
as security for repayment of loan.
Accompanying a mortgage Is .
bond which is written instrument
acknowledging the debt and promiS-
ing payment at specified time. It
also sets forth interest provisions.
The mortgage is security for the
debt, and the bond is evidence of it.
The mortgagor is the person who
borrows the money and gives the
mortgage. The mortgage lends the
money and receives the pledge of
the property as security. Because
the mortgage is form Of contract,
the mortgagor and the mortgage
must have the legal capacity to
make contract Valid and legal
consideration must also be given.
Mortgages must not call for rate
of interest in excess of the statu-
tory rate in the state where it is
made or it will not be valid.

Tom and Cobber Dick are forms in
common use when referring to the
butcher or the cobbler. But cobber
also has other meanings-''a great
lie." the greatness being derived
from cob as used in northern Eng
land, Ireland, and Scotland for ''the
top or summit of anything, as
mountain or a hill'';; also, "a leader
chief, or master" This word has
yet another significance. Used as
verb, ito cob to or with" means
ito cotton to-" that is, ''to take q

folk, England, persons who take to
each other are said to cob together,
and it is probably to this associa-
ton that the Australian cobber owes
its origin.

Senator Claimed He Was
President for One Day

There is a myth that Senator
David r. Atchison, Of Missouri, was
President of the United States for
one day. In l849. March 4 came
on Sunday and the President-elect
Zachary Taylor. was not sworn In
until March 5. Atehison was Presi-
dent pro-tempore Of the senate. Ac-
cording to the law then in force, OBJ
serves a writer in the Indianapolis
News, the President protempore
Of the senate was to act as Presi-
dent in case Of a vacancy. Atchi-
son always maintained that the fail
ure Of Taylor to take the oath Of
Office on March 4. created va
cancy in the presidency and that he,
Atchison, was therefore legal Pres
ident Of the United States for one
day. Many reference books state
this as fact, but it is only theory,
The Constitution says that the
President shall be elected in GER
tain manner and that before he shall
EAtGA OPOu LuC CACCub1OA4 Va uAS O4-
Ace he shall take prescribed oath,
but it does not say when this oath
shall be taken. The Constitution
gives congress the power to provide
by law who shall act as President
in case Of the death, removal, resig-
nation or disability Of both the Pres
ident and Vice President. There
was no death. removal, resigna-
ton or disability of both President
and Vice President at the time At
Gibson is supposed to have been
President. Atchison was never elect
ed President and the so-caIed pres
idential succession law could not 60
further than the Constitution itself.
There is no more reason for say
ing the secretary Of state was Pres
ident under the present law for
the brief time between Harding's
death and the time Vice President
Coolidge took the oath at Plymouth,
vt. Atchison said he was President
for day because Taylor failed to
take the oath until March 5, yet
Atchison never took the oath.

Pollination is carried on by va
rious insects, by the wind, by water,
by birds, etc. Insect pollination Is
the most common type in Towering
plants, those with snowy petals or
Sepals, with nectar or a distinct
odor. Gager's ''The Plant World
mentions it as a very significant fact
that there were no flowers with
snowy petals on the earth until the
geological age in which insects first
appeared, and then these flowers de
veloped. Practically al the conifers,
including pines, henlocks, etc., and
all grasses are wind-poninated.
Bees are most important to a good
crop Of orchard fruits and to clover,
one authority estimating that honey
bees are worth fifty or more times
as much for their part In fertilizing
blossoms as they are for their honey.

We. mentioned. The besetting
sin Of some Christian workers is the
destruction of their bodies, the very
temple Of the Holy Ghost, by over
work.
ii. How to Use . Strong Body.
Unfortunate as it is to observe
that some who would serve the Lord
have to struggle with the weakness
of the body, it is far sadder to
note that all too often those who
have strong bodies forget to use
that strength for God. Our Scrip
ture portions give US two excellent
guiding principles. Our bodies
should be
/. Kept for God Il Cor. S:16, I'D.
These verses refer to the body Of
the Christian, for only Of him can it
be said that his body is the temple
of the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Spirit is a person. the
third person Of the blessed Trinity.
He comes to dwell within the soul
Of the Christian Immediately upon
his being regenerated. thus making
his body the temple Of the Holy
Ghost. A clear grasp Of that truth
solves the problem Of what We
should do with and for our bodies.
We must keep them wen and clean.
We dare not defile them in any way.
The body of the Christian is kept
for God.
2. Yielded to God (Rom. 1871, y.
It is high and noble sacrifice to
die for Christ.
But our call just now is to be q
'sliving sacrifice" There are times
when that may seem harder than to
be martyr. We do know that
it is not always easy to live through
the drab, difficult, and sometimes
dreadful days, with q clear and
shining testimony for Christ. But
it can be done and is always to
His glory. It is by the transforms
ing grace of God that we are en-
abled to live such life.

Mahogany is one Of the royal fam
lily Of furniture woods. It has been
used for centuries and because Of
its beautiful color. its dignity, its
strength, its delicate natural pat
terms, and its fine texture and sur
face it will be used for hundreds Of
years to come. Most Of US know
we like it, but we do not know why,
and many Of US are unable to tell
one variety from another, writes
Edith Weigle in the Chicago Trib-
me.
There are three localities from
which this cabinet wood comes.
They are the West indies Cuba,
Santo Domingo, and HaitO, America
(meaning Mexico, Central and South
America), and Africa (trom the
west coast, Gold and Ivory coasts,
and Nigeria). When you buy .
piece Of furniture made Of mahog-
any you are entitled to know wheth-
er it is West Indian, America, or
Africa mahogany. There is no such
thing as Philippine mahogany. Any
wood sold under that name is =
misnomer, says George N. Lamb,
spokesman for the Mahogany Asso-
citation, Inc.
Best for the finest furniture are
Cuban and Santo DOMINICAN ma
hogany. It has golden brown and
sometimes a deep, rich, brownish
red tone and is heavier than other
types. It takes beautiful finish.

Young People Attend Church
More" This proved to be very
interesting and vital subject. The
majority of the young people had
four main reasons as to why they
don't attend church.
1. Hours too lengthy.
2. Pastors bring up too often
and too forcefully the wrong-do-
ings of young people.
8. Twice a day enough; to Sun
day school in the morning and b.
Y. P. u. in the evening.
4. No drawing card attraction.
