HEAVEN HAS ITS JOY8.
Death is the most incomprehensible
of all of the mysteries of life. God's
wisdom directed that human bodies
should fail and die, but in His infinite
omniscience the moment is not reveal
ed until it shall have come.
When mortals realize the pangs of
sorrow that humanity must Inevitably
suffer at the clipping of the thread
o; life when they come face to face
with the aching void that some dear
one may bring in going on, when they
search their hearts for some reason
lor the Josh, they can but turn with
sorrow to Him from whom no myster
ies are hid and in whose hands there
rests the only hope of the hereafter.
It is particularly sad to realize the
necessity of death sometimes,
know that women, yet In the prime of
life, loving, tender, precious builders
o. home must leave their places sc
soon, so close to the fruition of wo
man's greatest 'heritage. Yet so it
must be and when it comes there
dwells in the hearts of men the beau
teous vision of what has been and the
wonder of the promise that was made
for ihe future.
What tenderness has been lavished
on those for whom she lived, what
love on those she held by friendship’s
closet chords and. what a sweet and
womanly influence has been exerted,
that those, who knew her might real
ize the greatest and most precious
thing in life. And then fate wills that
it must end and in sadness and sor
row, men stand and see the body
slowly lowered into the earth, be-
decked with beauteous flowers, mute
symbols of love's expression for her
and those she loved. But as we
think on this and such as these we
cannot understand but we may know
with not the slightest doubt that
death is but the beginning of real life,
a fruition made more glorious and
more beautiful because of that which
i preceded it. The night of earth
ly gloom has been her morning of
heavenly light.
THE U. S. AS A BOOTLEGGER.
The contention of the Anheuser
Busch that the Uunited States is the
biggest bootlegger in the country in
its operation of bar-rooms on its
trans-Atlantic liners, comes with ill
grate from that source and yet it is
v pertinent topic for discussion.
The Shipping Board states quite
openly that it proposed to sell liquor
outside the three mile limit because
it is the only way in which to make
Its ships pay expenses. It is a bald
statement that travel by passengers
is directed by the sale of the same
beverages that the people of the coun
try as a whole have repudiated and
put out of our business and home life.
If this be true and ships must sell
liquor in order to earn money with
which to pay their expenses, or to in
veigle passenger business from their
competitors by the mere service of
intoxicants, then we have grosslyj nat j onal birth, the Western World’s

customs that were partly medieval

ligious belief is aptly illustrated by
their survival to this day although
their virginal vows provided no young
er generation to carry on their tradit
ion. and their deliberate isolation in
self-sustaining communities gave few
opportunities to make converts.
The Shakers never had more than
5,000 members and the twelve com
munities remaining today reported
367 members in 1916, which means
a population of not more than a thou
sand. The longevity of individual
members, combined with their abstin

vision to promise her safe passage.

form a share of the work, and by work
the Shaker means manual labor. Many
attempts to carry out the economic
ideas of the Shaker villages have tail

Georgia is selling more food products
than It buys. Mr. Webb Is collecting
these figures now Jin cl will make them

He is certain that they will prove
Georgia is not otfft self-sustaining but
has food to spare for Its -neighbors. Of
$60,000 to $75,000 worth of hogs sold
at co operative sales In this state dur
ing June. Mr. Webb says that $35,000
worth are being shipped to points
outside the state.
Tobacco Is being cut for curing In

be filled here this week. He asserts
that they have the finest tobacco In
