Heaven On Earth.
It may be that some people are
not thinking much about the
heaven beyond this earth and are
putting forth efforts to raise
a heaven on earth. Itis true that
a heaven on earth would be bet
ter than no heaven at all but in
striving after that condition' of
Which philosophers have dreamed
most of the reformers lose sight
sight of the existance of evil in
the world and the close connect
ion that evil was with poor hu
man nature. Before there can be
a heaven anywhere there must
be eliminated from that place
everything that maketh a lie and
is unclean. That is just what
this old earth has and it will
need the new regeneration before
the heaven oan be realized on
earth.

Suicide
The papers give ait account of
a young n|jm just in the begin
ning of a useful career in ending
it all by shotting a bullet through
his brains. It is pitiful, it is saJ
in the extreme. Suicide is becom
ing all too common and it n
time that the public conscience
be aroused on this subject. "No
man can give life and no man
has a right to take that Kfe. Sui
cide is contrary to the end for
which life was given. "It pre
vents the fulfilpess of the mission
for of of life. The work is great,
the time is short and man has no
right to. shorten it Plato said,
"that in this life we are placed
in a, garrison from which we
must not retire, or withdraw our
selves. Burn it upon the mindi
of all that the suicide is a murder
er. It js time that the press the
pulpit speak out on this subject
What Hie Trouble Is.
The trouble with the small girl
is that she is bigger.
The trouble with the big girl is
thatevery pair of scales she steps
on gives her weight
The trouble with a great many
editors is that they don't think
one-half as much as they write.
The trouble with the small boy
is that his big sister neverwas as
small boy herself and she doesn't
know how the small»boy feels.
% The trouble with the average
husband is that he knows his 4
wife knows ha isn't so big a man
as he wants the world to think he
is.
The trouble with almost all the
ministers is that they don't hear
other ministers preach often
| enough to know what a really first
class bang up sermon is.
The trouble with the young; man
in love is that he is insane enough
to think that all the other young
men are making just as big fools
of themselves about his best girl
as he is.
The trouble with the young
woman lWe is that she doesn't
know whether she really loves the
young man for himself alone or
for the caramels he brings and
the prospect of a solitataire dia
moncLto dazzle the other girls.
The trouble with the average
wife is that her husband is much
more prodigal with, his protest
ations of affection than he is
with money, dnd that he doesn't
waste much of either unless he
wants a button sewed on.
