DEATH.
From the earliest times, for all
time, man has been putting the ques
tion to himself:
"What does death mean?”
The savage cave man stood.in awe
before death. The learned philoso
pher of a more cultured time and
race asked the same questions in re
gard to this unsolved probleta.
Socrates only a little while before
drinking the fatal hyssop was dis
cussing with his pupils upon death
and the immortality of the soul.
The wise men of all ages have bow
ed their heads in reverence before
the unsolved problem. Only one has
ever solved it satisfactorily. He who
said, "I am the way, the truth and
the life,” overcame death. Since then
the world has had joy unspeakable,
because it has demonstrated that
when we are understanding of God,
we come to realize that death has
no power—that there is no death —
and in degree as we come to see this
the sorrow, the grief, the tears, will
be no more.
What is the thing that causes our
unspeakable grief? The one thing
that causes the greatest suffering is
separation. But one day we must
know there is nq separation. With
God there is no separation.
In that beautiful Greek tragedy,
lone, a conversation takes place be
tween lone ant her husband who has
been condemned to die in a few hours.
She asks him in her deep sorrow
if they shall ever meet again. He re
plies: "I have put that question to
the majestic ocean, to the silent moun
tains, to the eternal stars. Yes, lone,
we shall meet again.”
Gone! Let us utter the word in the
silence when all alone; in the still
ness of the night when all nature is
seemingly in repose, and perhaps we
will find that the language contains
no sadder word. Gone! But what is
or can be gone?
The writer has witnessed in the
last week two of the saddest scenes
of our experience—the death of two
of the country’s best men. It was
the writer’s sad experience to see the
body of one of these consigned to
mother earth. But the body was all.
The chemist tells us that this body
is eighty-five per cent, water and fif
teen per cent, inorganic salts. The
real man was never more nor less
than consciousness, and the teachings
of the Bible, as well as common
sense, teaches us that consciousness
never found a resting place beneath
six feet of' earth.
Through its release from a meas
ure of sense bondage, consciousness
must instantly experience in a de
gree something of the true resurrec
tion, the ascension of thought, to per
ceive the immortality of life. Jesus
gave death no place, and he conquer
ed and overcame it as well. St. Paul
characterized it as carnal mindedness.
“To be carnal minded is death.” But
St. Paul also said “To be spiritually
minded is life and peace.” This also
accords with Jesus concept of life,
for he said: “And this is life eternal,
that they might know the only true
God and Jesus whom thou hast sent.”
We believe our friends, Messrs. Play
er and Byington, have much of this
spiritual life; And one day we will
come into a like consciousness, and
we will do this in degree as we strive
to be more God-like.
May these things cause us to have
more of that mind which was also
in Christ Jesus, that we love one an
other. w. c. s.

HE NEVER EVEN TOOK AIM
But the Tyro at Hunting Brought
Down Two Birds, and Shot
No More.
“Only once in my life did 1 ever
do any shooting," said a traveling
man, talking to a group in the case
of one of the big New York hotels,
“and that once I made a real hit It
was in a western town to which my
trip had carried me, and the natives
had arranged a prairie chicken hunt
for the following day. Os course I
was invited., I protested that I was
out of practice, but they insisted that
I go along, and some one furnished a
gun for my use.
“As the only stranger in the party,
they let me go ahead, following the
dogs closely. I didn’t even know
what a prairie chicken looked like:
whether they would run along the
ground or fly. Suddenly I heard a
tremendous whirr, the sound, as 1
came to know, of the birds taking
wing. So excited was I that, without
raising the gun to my shoulder. 1
pulled the trigger. ’Bang!’ w'ent the
gun, and two of the birds fluttered
slowly to the ground.
“ ‘He never even took aim.’ shouted
one of the hunters, and my reputation
was made. Thereafter I rested on
my laurels, not attempting another
shot throughout the day, or ever
since.”
KISSING ALtwoT LOST ART
Most Women, Says London Paper,
Forget Neatness and Are Vigor
ous and Wild.
It is surprising that with all the
kissing that goes on in our so-called
civilized England, so little advance
should have been made in the science
of bestowing a kiss. Very few per
sons understand the art. Neatness
is forgotten, and the first impulse of
the kissee is to wipe away al) traces
of the offending salute as speedily as
may be consistent with politeness.
Others deliver a peck upon the
cheeks, and, in some cases, by no
means a small peck. There are vigor
ous women whose buffetings are quite
enough to produce a toothache in a
sensitive jaw. Their kisses jar the
kissee’s whole head. One never knows
where the wild kieses of others may
alight. With Inward shrinking one
offers a cheek, wondering what may
be gfling to happen to it. and the re
sult often justifies one’s w’orst fears.
The poor cheek is discomfited by the
assault of lips that have had no train
ing in the art of osculation. —London
Express.
Cure for Sleeplessness.
If one is restless aud cannot sleep
at night, take a common towel, double
It four times, dip in cold water and
pin around the waist with a dry towel
on the outside. For croup or sore
throat, put the towels around the neck
and they will give almost immediate
relief.
Substitute for Soap.
Boiled potatoes make an excellent
substitute for soap if your hands have
become blackened with contact with
pots and pans. Take a little of the
potato and rub well into the skin,
then rinse ft off with warm water.
Johnny Did It.
Indignant Master—What on earth
have you been doing to my rug?
Housemaid—l didn't do it It was
Johnny. Hi's been running the lawn
mower all over it—London Sketch.

HAD YOU EVER THOUGHT OF THAT?
HOW ABOUT THAT MONEY THAT IS LYING BACK IN THE
TRUNK? IS IT INSURED? IF NOT, YOU ARE THE PERSON WE

WE OFFER YOU A SAFE PLACE TO LEAVE YOUR MONEY
