Music charais us even though we do not know about point and counterpoint. While ottr delight in these esthetic motions may be increased by ever widening knowledge, nevertheless God's marvels and beauties in life and nature, like the earth, belong, to the bumble in heart. You do not need a book on botany to look into the wonder of a rose's heart or to enjoy the fragrance of mignonette on the evening air. Religion has often been shorn of its greatest power by making it an opinion of a learned head instead of the I conviction of a pure soul walking with God. There was a prophet anciently in Julaism who found his times all messed up in a hopeless tangle of rites, forms and ceremonies. He broke loose and kicked a great hole in the ecclesiastical wall by saying, "What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly,1 to lov>- m. rey. and to walk humbly with thy God?" God comes to our ne in 'his overwise age, and tells is that the true way of life is so plain that the wayfaring man, though untaught, need uot err. We must have the fullest possible know 1 upon every possible subject. for always people perish for lack if knowledge. And yet the thing I want io >,iy is this: life, love, religion, and e\pi i i.-nce may be most beautiful and satisfying to all whose souls are attuned to God and beauty.'?Rev. J. W.

WE ARE LIVING IN A VERY FAST AGE ..The biggest man 1 ever knew up to the time I was 14 years of age was our local magistrate. He was a power in our community A few years later I learned to respect our county sheriff; he was a power-plus in my mind till I saw hip) half drunk at a picnic a few yearB later. ..As I grew older, the big men .were legislators, state senators and a courthouse judge. When I was about 19, I saw a truly great man, viz: a congressman, but only at a distance. He was making a campaign speech, and was he speeching? That was a sight to behold: a real congressman in the flesh. ..My greatest thrill though came the following year. I saw a governor. He turned out to be a human being too. He actually shook hands with folks, even farmers like my father and others. I thought he was entirely too great to do a thing like that. The bigness of the big men that I marveled at and about up to that time gradually shrank up in my opinion. ..Years came and went. I finally saw a president; he, too, was a man like other men. Then I met a few millionaires. They had only 2 legs and 2 arms and 2 eyes and 1 head and a mouth, nose, and lips like other people. I came into contact with men of all walks of life. They were, after all, no bigger than the local magistrate and the sheriff that I knew 20 years before. ..Politics have ruined nearly every great man we ever had, and we have had many. Years and years go by after such men die . . . until things political are forgotten . . . and then we begin to weigh the good that our leaders did; and appreciate the character and personality they possessed during their lives; And pretty soon, but not soon enough, we begin to decorate their graves, and make speeches about them, and Anally place a marble bust of them In the Capitol.
