DEGREES IN HEAVEN
Heaven being the home of the soul
the first importance is to know how
to reach it, and second, what we
shall be when there.
The relation of earthly to heav¬
enly life suggests the probability of de
grees in heaven.TIME and its use are
equally related to eternity It is an
awful thing to live on earth. Proba
tion is full of real meaning and inter
est to man. That we are here on
irial signifies that probation is im¬
portant and everlasting in its im
pressh ns.
An unimproved probation entails
upon the soul a real and everlasting
loss for which there is no remedy
provided. Time is an element of
probation. If the full time of pro¬
bation is valued in the light of eter
nity one hour is also valued, lf all is
lost and lost forever by the improper
use of the full time of probation .one
hour of misused time is loss to the
soul throughout eternity. Jt is not in
the power of time's flight to compen¬
sate for a loss, Man, whether in
time or eternity, is dealing with God
and service to him is duty, and as
God’s laws obeyed promise the soul’s
greatest good, so disobeyed or im¬
perfectly obeyed the highest good
cannot be attained. God is just and
if he makes probation NECESSARY
its right use is an eternal advantage.
The notion that the soul will during
the eternal progress eventually attain
though late unto the highest heights
of glory is fallacious. The loss en¬
tailed by the abuse of probation is a
loss in the realm of character and not
time. When probation is over there
will be no more time but eternity. If
by waiting till manhood, one could
still reach intellectual heights not¬
withstanding the loss of time in early
life, in point of intellectual character
there is nothing lost. But such is not
the case. He who loses the youth
time of his life, must, while life shall
last be less than what he might
have been, He can never supply the
loss however long and well he may
live. Time is no remedy for the ills
its abuse creates. The loss is REAL,
ABSOLUTE and CONSTITUTIONAL.
Jf in the eternal world we are to pass
in succession along one way and see
the same sights, experience the
same joys it would matter not
that some had a late beginning.
Heaven cannot he the same to radi¬
cally different characters. Unfaithful
ness on earth is the mark of inferior¬
ity in heaven. I take it that what¬
ever loss is entailed by the abuse of
probation is a conscious loss, else no
loss at all. Like a student who fails
to master the parts of the curriculum
which would fit him for life contin¬
ues to regret the loss, so one whose
faith in God does not abide through¬
out probation, but gives up at times,
will never cease to regret unfaithful¬
ness while on earth. And the higher
w T e ascend the rounds of eternal truth
the more conscious will we be of the
need of having learned on earth
the elements of a heavenly educa
tion. Earth affords opportunities
which heaven has not, and not to im¬
prove them is to suffer loss forever.
Oh, thank God for life on earth and
grace to develop it. Now is the time
to win the favors of heaven. To him
who in the face of earth’s difficulties
runs well and long, will heaven yield
its richest gifts. A long life is a
blessing if spent in serving God. To
die in infancy is safe, but to die af¬
ter a perilous, though successful pil¬
grimage, is glorious. The glory of
service offsets the dangers of it. The
(rials or life argfcbut messengers tell¬
ing us of degrees of glory in the end.
It is not ngedful that the redeemed
should all be of one degree in order to
enjoy heaven’s felicities, as love will
reign; and where love reigns there
will be joy.

Ancient Greek Training.
The manner in which the Athenians
brought up their children is worth re¬
membering. At seven years of age the
Athenian lad entered the palestra,
w'hich was essentially a playground.
All the first and better half of the day
was spent in gymnastics, dancing,
games and play, in the afternoon
there were singing, some writing, some
reading, all in the open air. and then
came a long period of play again. Such
was the schooling of the Greek lad up
to the age of ten or eleven, and it did
not differ essentially up to the age of
sixteen, except in the severity of the
exercises. And yet the world has not
ceased to marvel at the results of the
Greek education. It produced the
highest type of man, physically and
intellectually, that the world has ever
seen, which Galton says tvas as far in
advance of the modern Englishman as
the modern Englishman is in advance
of the native African. In physical
beauty, courage and patriotism, in
philosophy, literature, architecture and
art, the Greeks have been the unsur¬
passed models of the ages and are still
the inspiration of our schools today.
But they placed the emphasis upon
hygiene, exercise, games and play,
which are too much neglected in these
days.—Kansas City Star.
Geographical Knowledge In 1492.
But very little was known in regard
to the extent of the world in Aris¬
totle’s day. in the fourth century be¬
fore Christ, and but very little more
was known about it 1,800 years later.
In the time of Columbus. In 2.000
years the world had in reality retro¬
graded rather than advanced. It was
popular belief in the time of Co¬
lumbus that the world was flat, though
many contemporary scholars thought
differently. The great civilizations of
the world at that time were grouped
around the Mediterranean sea, al¬
though England was a considerable
power aud the Scandinavians were a
great maritime people. But Europeans
at that time knew but little of Asia
and but little of Africa, and America,
of course, was undreamed of. Even
after Columbus had discovered the lat¬
ter continent he was perfectly oblivi¬
ous of the fact. He thought Haiti w-as
Cipango or Japan and for a long time
regarded Cuba as a part of the main¬
land of Asia.
A Famous All P~i 2 to Ban^uf-t.
One of the most remarkable menus
ever drawn up must have been that of
the feast in Paris to which Benjamin
Franklin, Lavoisier, the founder of
modern chemistry, and other distin¬
guished men sat down as guests of
Parmentier. Every dish at this ban¬
quet was made of potatoes, and even
the brandy and liqueurs were the prod¬
uct of the same vegetable. This was
Parmentier’s final proof to his skep¬
tical fellow countrymen that potatoes
were not poison, as they persisted in
believing. Louis XVI. himself was one
of Parmentier’s earliest converts,
granted him land on which to grow his
plants and did not disdain to wear the
potato flower as a buttonhole. Then
Parmentier cleverly posted guards
round his potato fields by day and
withdrew them by night, so that peo¬
ple were tempted to come then, steal,
eat and be convinced. The all potato
banquet was the climax of the great
campaigu.—Chicago News.
Horses In Pantaloons.
“Equine sunbounets are very well,”
said a veterinary, “but what would
you say to equine trousers? You’ll
see them in Guayaquil. There the mos¬
quitoes and greenbead flies are so
thick that horses and donkeys, unless
their legs are cased iu cloth, become
unmanageable with the pain. Guaya¬
quil is in Ecuador. It is directly un¬
der the equator. The heat there is
insufferable. Up and down its nar¬
row'-and foul smelling streets in bluish
clouds of buzzing insects walk horses
and donkeys in sunbounets and panta¬
loons.” — New Orleans Times-Demo

No Accent.
Many stories are told of a former
Canadian bishop who had passed his
youth in Scotland, but flattered him¬
self that not a hint of his origin could
be gained from his speech or manner.
One day lie met a Scotchman, to
whom he said at last abruptly, “Hoo
lang hae ye been here?”
“Aboot sax years,” was the reply.
“Hoot, mon!” said the bishop sharp¬
ly. “Why hae ye na lost yer accent,
like mysel'?”

When Her Turn Came.
The Journal had taken on a “woman
editor,” whose duty was to look after
the “woman’s page.” Space being
scarce in the “local room.” a desk was
given her in the managing editor's
room, directly adjoining. For a week
or two no fault was found with her
work, hut one morning the managing
editor said to her:
“Miss Fenfield, your style of writing
is a little too terse and epigrammatic
for the needs of your department. You
must study expansion.”
“Very well. Mr. Ringgold,” she an¬
swered. “I will try.”
Thereafter her work appeared to
give entire satisfaction, for there was
no further criticism. About six months
later, however, the managing editor
after a morning spent in working at
his desk suddenly wheeled in his chair
and said:
“Miss Fenfield, I w’anta wife. I want
you. Will you marry me?”
“Mr. Ringgold,” she responded, with
a mocking smile, “that is rather terse
and epigrammatic. Don’t you think
you ought to study expansion a little?”
—Youth’s Compauion.
A Word of Warning.
“You never proposed to her on your
knees!” cried the veteran married man
in dismay.
“Sure I did; sure,” the youth repeat¬
ed, a glad, proud light shining in his
eyes.
“Well,” said the veteran, “you’ll re¬
gret it about twice a week for tlio rest
of your life. After you get married the
slightest argument, the first impatient
word, will cause your wife to say,
‘You weren’t like this when you went
down on your knees aud begged me,
with tears in your eyes, to marry you.’
“It’s pretty bad to have an angry
wife read out your old love letters re¬
proachfully,” said the veteran, “hut
that is nothing to being reminded of
your kneeling proposal every week till
you are a great-grandfather.”
“You proposed on your knees your¬
self?” the youth hazarded.
But the veteran frowned and made
no reply.—Los Angeles Times.
A Thrilling Rescue.
How Bert R. Lean, of Cheny.Wasli
was saved from frightful death is a
story to thrill the world. “A hard
cold,” he writes, “brought on a des¬
perate lung trouble that baffled an
expert doctor here.Then II paid $10
to $15 a visit to a lung specialist
in Spoakane, who did not help me.
Then I went to California, butwith
out benefit. At last I was induced to
use Dr. King’s New Discovery, which
completely cured me and now I am a
well as ever.” For Lung Trouble,

Bismarck’s Lament.
Said Bismarck toward the close of
his long and eventful career:
“Nobody loves me for what I have
done.I have never made anybody hap¬
py, not myself nor my family nor any
bodv else. But how many have 1
made unhappy! But for me three
great wars would not have been
fought, 80,000* men would not have
perished. Parents, brothers, sisters
and widows would not have been be¬
reaved and plunged into mourning.
* * * j have had little or no joy
from all my achievments; nothing bu
vexation, care, trouble.”
This was a sad yet necessary la
ment.Bismarck was hard,for his task
was hard. Devotion to the idea of
German unity meant the going down
of all things and all persons who
stood in the way. Possibly he ex¬
alted the stae too high above the in¬
dividual. "Daubtless his own con
vietion was that what he did for
the state he did for every dweller in
the borders, and inded for mankind.

You Get The Best.
The best reading matter in a newspaper is found among
the advertisements. An advertisement is shop news, tha
particular class of news that directs you into money-saving
channels.
And it will mean more money to you when you are shop¬
ping if you will let the merchant know you read his adver¬
tisements.
One of the most interesting columns in a paper is the
“want” column. There you can find all kinds of information
or the means of disposing of almost anything you have. There
is always a “wanter” for every want.
Do you read the “wants” in The Enterprise? Do you
keep up in this way with what other people want? It is grow¬
ing larger every week and consequently more interesting.
Read it today. You may have the very thing the other
fellow wants, and you would profit by having read it.
We believe it would be worth your while to keep up with
this line of news.
