THE POWER I am a firm believer in anything my reasoning power tells me is absolute tfuth. Once my belief is established, my faith lays hold in earnest. i All bodies set in motion by outside influence, and left to them selves, tend to become still ? in other words, they come la- rest. If I drop a pebble in a still pond, ripples start very quickly. When the impact of the pebble is gone, the little waves gradually become placid again. That's because the force is not continuous. The great planets floating in space are in constant motion. Some wonderful power must have set them to work. And, unless that power is perpetual, the large bodies would in time cease to move. 1 % Our earth is rolling now ? a thousand miles per hour ? swifter than the most powerful airplane ! It is also rolling around the sun in an almost incomprehensible orbit, every 365 days. Some stupendous power, set the pace. It is still causing the big spheriod to move exactly on time, and with the same unerring precision The power is at work right now, as it was "in the beginning." I don't need any book to tell me that this power is still at work. Eclipses can be figured thousands of years ahead, far mora accurately than any man-made chronometer can register. The past proves this. 9 Call the power God, or any other name ? I know there is a supreme power. Since great good comes from the exercise of this power that makes universal life possible, I know it is a good power, for which "God" is by all earthly reason the best name. Theorists and doubters may tell me with all emphasis that there is no God ; I know better. And, I am willing tc put my faith, and all that I am and have, in the power that gives me my life, and the lives of those I hold most dear. Men may believe as they please ? I do the same '' &^i**tmi*r>0tme?t?aaBto&otoM>*oeoQ0*t>m0909090t0t0t0<09B9B9BtBiB!B9Q!QSQ!18S8StS8il911SifflSQtf&} coming: DR. N. D.

HERE'S HOWE (By E. W. Howe) i There usedloVe a man who toft me I should marry again, and had a woman picked out for me. ^ Some how I could nev<r squelch Him, I had known him so long, although 1 had never iptimated to him. that I needed such advice^ H?s assump ^ tion that I needed his assistance was extremely distasteful tp me; no doubt he spoke to women unknown ?to me, and made me ridiculous, but 1 could not help myself. Fortu nately I am rid of this man, as he died some time , ago, but others re ' main to keep me sufficiently humili ated. One of the heaviest burdens of my life has always been numer ous persons among my acquaint ances who make a fool of me, and [ have never been able to get rid of them. According to my stand ards they are grossly impolite, but they seem to have friends, and pros per. I get along well with active enemies; they at least only scowl at me, and finally- they quit talking about me behind my back? but I cannot handle some friends so suc cessfully i '? ? ? ? I I am firmly convinced that the most sensible effort in which a man may engage is to do the best he can with such powers as Almighty God or heredity has given him. j-.There are so many weak and unfortunate that I cannot help them all, but may I help myself? ?. . I must eat to live, and food is contrary and mali cious. At 9 a.m., when suffering dis tress from unwise or overeating, I resolve to do better thereafter, but four hours later, with agreeable friends at table, I forget the solemn warning and resolution of the morn ing. . ? ? With my striving. I make. a little progress. Am I a fool foi not making more, or have I inherj ent weaknesses--;of- body and minf that tie me hopelessly to sin ? Somt say they can pray for strength, an J receive it. ^Others siy they are abU to exercise their Vill, and overcoml evil; bat I have observed that botH ?these boasters are usually as weak as I am; so generally so that theitf methods do not impress me. ... Is sin the seed planted it) .man to In evitably destroy him at eighty, Qf earlier? , . Anyway, ! am able to regulate it a little, to my advantage, and shall persevere; I am still con vinced that there is most comfort in life for those w|jo resist sin as much as possible, instead of welcoming it . ? ? * ' I often think of a saying by Napoleon: "I will be 'compelled to go to school again," he said, when contemplating his secotid marriage, "to learn the ways of new woman." . . Napoleon was a king; the girl he was to marry a princess of a sub ject nation. She had be? brought up in the simple German way; she had been assigned him for breeding purposes (and I do not say this in an offensive way, but as a mere statement:* of fact). . . . Why did he not say tathis girl, as he said to bis subjects: "Learn my ways." . , . Well, the-most powerful man cannot do that with a woman. Let a king arrange for intimate association with a peasant woman, and he has an other war on his hands.* He is no longer king of his country or of himself. He has "divided his regal power; he may be a Senate of the firm, but must wrangle with the House before his acts are consti* tutionaL ? ~ "Down on the Farm " with l/larion T alley * ?" 1 1,1 ?' ??ini.iiL- .? flft J ' i m . vS TS!* V1 $ Marion Talley, retired prima donna of the Metropolitan Oper^Con pany, riding a tractor with her tenant Bill Parcel}, who runs her mar acred farm at Colbj , Kansas, for her.
