URNS PEOPLE TO THE BIBLE.
The Slttns ol the Times By Rev.
Charles SteUle.
The show-window of a famous
ifih avenue bookstore in New
York Ciiy reveals one of ihe most
leresiing sius of ihe limes.
Ordinarily iliis window is tilled
with books on sex problems, trav-
anguoges, hisiory, sociology,
fiction, science, literature and an.
But for some lime most of ihe
)oks on exhibition have dealt with
immortality, spiritualism, religion
and other subjects thai discuss the
life to come.
Is there a God? Is there a here
after? What becomes ol our dead?
These are the questions thai ihe
world is asking as never before.
And these questions- are being
asked not so much because men fear
death but because they want 10
know what has become of the boys
ho were killed at the front.
Rut there are two striking things
about these books they are not
written by the world's "great au
thorities" on such matters and
they deal with these subjects from
thoroughly human standpoint.
Poets and soldiers and novelists
nd newspaper men have become
the interpreters of the people's
gropings toward the light.
This is so because what the peo
ple want is not a cold-blooded dis
sertation by scientists and philoso
phers but a warm-hearted appre
ciation of their emotional and spir
itual longings.
The "scientists" have no very
fixed and uniform opinion about
these things, anyway, and the peo
ple have doubts enough of their
own, without adding those of the
wise men" who have written on
ly problematical books about such
subjects.
We have come to learn that the
greatest facts in this discussion are
spiritual and spiritual
faets must be spiritually dis
cerned. Thank God that He has
given it to you and to me to under
stand these truths as fully as the
scientist does.
it is this longing for light that
accounts for the people turning to
the Bible, for there is no question
that the bible speaks with ihe great
est certainty of immortality; it dis
cusses the subject with the utmost
sympathy and the Bible has al
ways been the people s book.

The landscape is very much af
fecied by the glass through which
you regard it. If that glass is yel
low everything looks yellow. If
it is blue, everything looks blue
If it is somber, everything looks
somber. Now the man who is
living a life of love looks out upon
his life through the love of God,
and, and the love of God has such
a mysterious property in it that
takes away from terrible things
their terror, from dreadful things
llieir di iad, and from the maligni
ty of ot man his spite; and the
soul looks with a calm serenity
upon all the circumstances of life
and finds itself hushed and calm

The pure, ihe bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulse to a worldless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth;
The longings after something lost,
The spirit's yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly word in grief's dark hour
That proves a friend indeed;
The plea for mercy gently breaihed
When justice threatens high,
The sorrows of a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory of a clasping hand,
The pressure of a kiss,
And all the trifles, sweet and full
That make up love's Hrst bliss;
If with a firm unchanging faith,
And holy (rust on high
Those hands have elasped, those lips have met,
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as it fell;
The chilling want of sympathy
We need but never tell;
The hard repulse that grieves the heart
Whose hopes were bounding high
In an unfading record kepi
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance lo waken love
Be firm and just and irue;
So shall a lighl that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to the
"These things shall never die."

NECESSITY.
E. Berry Wall, accompanied by
his sorrel chow, was walking on
the Biarritz promenade when a
young lady in one of the new 1918
blouses passed.
The blouse was cut very, very
low in the neck, the short sleeves
did not reach the elbow, and ihe
material employed was of the fin
est, sheerest gauze.
"There goes the young countess
de la Tour," said Mr. Wall's com
panion. "What airs she puts on!"
"Well," said Mr. Wall, "with a
blouse like that it's necessary to
put on something, isn't it?"

J. O. DRAKE,
You smell the ripening corn as it liquors through the air,
You feel ihe haunting beauty of the meadows everywhere,
You know the grapes are are purple and the haws are turning black,
And you hear the Bob While's whistle calling dreams of boyhood back.
You tread a land of memories that is lit by sudden gleams
Of the evanescent beauty of a multitude of dreams,
And you glimpse the mills to harvest and are full of glad content
When you sip the wine of autumn like a wine of sacrament.
You know the sumach's flaming and the sassafras is red,
And the foliage is thinner where the trees begin to shed,
And there's honey in the weather, hived through all the summer's bloom
To be housed with you forever in your memory's haunted room.
PASTURES NEW.
A tramp was one day walking
long i country road in the south
of Ireland, and seeing an old lady
comloriably seated at her window
looking out out he knell down and
commenced to eat the grass on the
lawn, The lady, noticing him,
came outside and said: "My
poor man, you must be very tiiin-
ty"
"Yes, ma'm," he said. "I
haven't had a bite to eat for the
past two days."
"Ah, my poor man," she re
plied, "I'm sorry, bul if you just
go around to ihe back of the house
the grass is much longer there."
Nothing surprises the woman
who marries a man to reform him
like the success of her efforts.

There are traitors in this land
who are not sought by the Depart
ment of Justice. That man is a
traitor who is so living that he in
terferes with God's good will to
ward our land. That woman is a
traitor who is so immersed in
worldliness that God cannot bless
the land which she in her pleas
ures defiles. Thai multitude are
traitors who by their sinful prac
tices are compelling God's attitude
toward us to be judgment and not
mercy. Ii is folly to expect victo
ry through ihe interposition of
God in the present war unless ihe
nation humbles itself before
God and repents of its sins and
lines up with the divine purposes
of salvation and righteousness as
they are revealed in ihe Bible.
Whatever is contrary to ihe spirit
of national consecration of heart
and power to God is treason, for
it is hindering God from interpos
ing in our behalf.
