The form of our habitual thoughts and the quality of our real belief never can locate in the realm of degrading indifference when we are determined to make the most of life We are bound to clear the atmosphere of thought and to lift this great mat ter out of the domain of the conven tional and commonplace and make It mean more than mental adhesion to the favorite and traditional items of schol astic theology and dwarfing servility to human authority, when thisjiuman au thority makes man less than man. We are bound to deliver it Into the region of higher life found in the kingdom of men and women who are willing to be. We know, that conduct constitutes three-fourths of life. It cannot honestly be said that our religious life and our everyday conduct bear no 'relation to each other.1 Profession must find its vital meaning iu possession. The best belief is born of divine experience. The Initial fact of this necessity is, therefore, in the divine rather than the human. It is true that in the original structure of our mental constitution there is a capacity for belief, but the truth which fills it does not originate with us. It is not the creation of the human mind and will, though it is de signed to enter into their essential a ture. God can and does believe In. us. Here la the origin of the best belief. We can and do reciprocate. Here is the completory fact of the best belief. Confidence Tiot Misplaced. This is why Jesus Christ believed In Mary Magdalene, and she believed in him, and her celerity in the perform ance of duty took precedence over her religious ecstasy. His confidence in her wa3 not mis placed. He was perfect. She was im perfect. In the perfect plan of God there is a place for imper.ect lives. Most persons are good enough to be come better when we find the point of contact in their goodness and then, with mutuality of confidence, we and they co-operate upon the basis of their residuary goodness, thus bringing them ' to a realization of their belter lives. This is one of the many things that the best belief can do. Possibly we might say that this is the chief business of "'"Mary of the braided locks" had been a sinful woman. Jesus had found her, lust where she lived, and had done great things for her. She appreciated all that he had done. His ameliorating Influence had refined her soul. His kindness had called forth her gratitude. His nobleness had evoked her loyalty. Her refined gratitude did not content Itself with the beautiful words of re- Council of Adventists to Be November 5-30.

To her it meant life. love, loyalty. service. She. with others, had followed Christ on his tour throughout every city and village of Galilee. She was among those who went with him on his last journey to Jerusalem. She remained loyal under very severe tests. Xot even the awful agony of his crucifixion -could extinguish her burn- inz- allecriance. When her hope seemed to be against hope, she evidenced the fact that hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. She loved Christ. The cold and heavy hand of death could not "damp the immortal flame." When Joseph of Arimathea placed the body of Jesus to rest in his tomb, throughout the cool, sweet night, she sat "over against the sepulcher." She was with the other women who were last at the cross and first at the grave of our blessed Lord. What magnificent loyalty and devotion Not she with traitorous kiss, her Savior stuns, ' Knt tni him. writh unholy tongue: She, while apostles shrank, could dangers brave. Last at the crow, and earliest at the grave. It was the best that her belief could do. Fidelity always is rewarded, though it may not seek reward. When the gentle breath of the world's most memorable morning bathed her ach ing brow, she found more than the equivalent of her belief beyond the grave, but not above the clouds. Reward of Duty Is Performance. .The flowers of divine love poured out their fragrance in the garden or her lowly heart and the dew of her chastened sorrow sparkled in the light of his presence, and responded to his illuminating words. In a periect trans port of affection sne was aouui iu grasp him when he directed her to desist. There was somothing more im portant for her to do. As a rule, relisrton is more in danger of suffering ennui than of ecstasy. But when the ecstatic element does enter. It is then in danger of becoming selfish, almost unconsciously. It finds its bet ter tone and meaning In unselfish serv ice in doing something lor otners. It would have meant much of heaven for her to tarry. It meant more of heaven for her to go and tell the good news to others. Christ's brethren needed to near from him. So she could see him again. "I am not yet ascended unto tne Father." The best that his benei couia do, for the time being, was to send a message to his panicked brothers. Mary was the jne to take It. uuty is re warded through greater duty per formed. Christ commissioned Mary, aeordingly. Her belief was at its best because it was born of experience, answered by knowle-dge. and it continued to grow through active service. Her contact with Christ was the means of Increas ing knowledge, and it gave certitude to a larger belief, covering the area of service to others. It is ever so. All nersons who possess normal minds and rational souls do believe something. ; nrfarhlns bv the pastor, theme. "On a Level With the Ox."

Vernan, corner East Fifteenth and Wy gant streets, J. A. Melton, minister Bible I With nioe accuracy It may be affirmed that there Is no such thing as unbelief.. When one withholds his intellectual assent and hearty consent from the truth in a given proposition, that with holdment usually is due to mental im pediments. Drenosessions. predilections, prejudice or some other obstruction to open-mindedness. There is a sense In which skepticism. Itself, is but another sort of belief; or, perhaps, the. shadow of the better belief possible Instead of the obstinate actual. Pertinaciously adhering to opinions, such persons are, nevertheless, capable of high loyalty to convictions. Their senses, reason and consciousness can yield to truth. In the original struc ture of their mental constitution there remains a firm foundation for the per ception of truth, such truth as they personally need, and the world needs through them. To find themselves. It is not necessary for them so much to reject -all creeds as to return to two primary principles one of veracity, the other of credulity. i Rational Persons Trust Senses. ' Every rational person can trust his senses, his reason, and his conscious ness to serve his belief. Refusing to trust these, his belief is a failure. So is his life, because he mutillates it with his opinions. Pyrrhonism failed be cause it taught that the senses and consciousness both were absolutely un trustworthy. We do believe something. Most of us believe a great many things. But this is not enough. It is not sufficient that we believe something. " It is not an evidence of wisdom and,, safety merely to believe a great many things, or that we remain satisfied Just because we have a belief; or, that we refuse to believe what we cannot fully under stand. All persons are entitled to the best belief. But. bewildered as we are, by the multiplicity of beliefs, and what sometimes seems to be a mighty maze of contradictions; and at - others, a confusing conglomeration, who dare say what is the beat belief? How are we to tell? Can anyone make a move here without clashing with some one else who may be equally sincere? Are we not on dangerous ground? Can we find the zone of safety in either affirmation or denial" Affirmation does not create facts. Be nial does not destroy facts. Let no truth-seeker be affrighted. "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." Evidence Is not proof. But the proof may come through the proper use of the evidence. We need that degree of evidence which convinces the mind of the cer talntv of fact, and the truth corre sponding to the fact, which will pro duce belief sufficiently strong to in fluence the life and give It the right application and direction. No fair minded person can object to these things. We have the evidence of all facts essential to life and well being. -V, AH Roads Lead to the Infinite.

Thus, our belief in our own existence and that of the world about ns, and within us. does not depend'upon our theories with ref erence to these facts, but our experi ence of them. So. with the existence of spiritual facts and our experience of the same including God. as supreme "fact the supreme fact of life, of love, of power. We may arrive at the fact, or facts, or respond to the same along any one of hundreds of different roads. The roads are safe when they have this in common, namely: They all lead to the infinite, or such -as Is related to the infinite, bidding us travel on until 45 4 ' EE E3 First Congregational Church. we arrive: and having arrived, we de liver our best actual In the interest of the best possible. So it is that the common faith of humanity, regardless of superficial dif ferences, and nonessential divisions, becomes an "assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen." while all the greatest facts in the uni verse are not seen with the natural vision. Thus it is that "without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he Is, and that he is re warded of thorn that seek after him." This reward of God is In our experi ence" of him. Even whan a man does not apprehend God through his intel lect, still his seeking heart may move on for satisfaction until that satisfac tion is found in experience.

But when we arrive, we are not to remain to make our religion an ec stasy as a final thins. Jesus Christ has his brothers who need to hear him. Come, in religion, has its larger mean ing in go and do. All who doubt, may have belief instead of doubt. All who fear may have hope instead of fear; all who have failed may have success instead of failure, for the great out standing invitation today, as of old, is "come and see." One of the best things -that belief can do Is to bring us into contact with the essential facts of life. Our para mount tusincss with life is really and truly to live, and to help others so that they, too, may know the joys be longing to this fullness of life. How many, human beings existed, struggled.' under dead weights and burdens that crushed them, until the fire turned to ashes that mingles with the dust and, dying, seemed never to know the divine and sacred meaning of life. So many now are merely ex isting without living joyously, fully, freely, divinely. Many mistake the things of life for ite Itself, and suffocate their souls in that which is sordid until they seem to forget that they have souls. Some are hardened in sin. They wallow in wan tonness and iniquity, and have lost the fine taste for the real pleasures of life. Some are feeding the flames of pas sion in their bosoms and walking on hot coals. Can' a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned? Or walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched? No. they will be burned to blisters! Where is hell? Man, it is here and. now in your own life, and you are dragging others into it. Some are willfully blind. Some are wearing themselves with the self-imposed cares, worries and frets troubled about that which they cannot help and trying to cross the bridge before they reach it. Some are embittered, while the godliness of others has turned to sourness. Others, becoming the victims of a little learn ing, rather than the finished products of full-orbed scholarship, do not know where to place themselves-with refer ence to matters cf belief, and their cold Questions chill them to frozen doubt. To Doubt Xot Always Sin, To doubt is not always to sin. But in an age when some mistake the passing forms for the permanent sub stanco of religion, to substitute evan escent opinions for the growing be lief of a sensible man, is but to take refuge in indefensible absurdity which subsequent developments will expose and the better judgment can never ap prove. What is tho remedy for all these things? If we listen to the opinions cf an unthinking crowd we shall end In "confusion worse confounded." We can take no risk at the expense of truth wnen we see that the best that belief can do is to demonstrate the diversity in unity and the unity in di versity where the catholicity and co herency of truth evidence the common oneness of the same.

Clarke Game Commission t'rsea Ex termination of Tabbies That Are Klllins Birds. VANCOUVER, Wash., April 10. (Special.) An open season at all times of the year for common. Ordinary house Tabby cats ha3 been declared by the Clarke County Game Commission, which has been investigating the actions' of the pet. The recent Legislature did not make any game laws governing the killing of cats, but the Commission is of the opinion that cats may be killed at any time, provided the cats are found along the banks of streams, or are roaming about in a wild state In the woods. It has been learned that cats have been killing whole nests of Chinese pheasants and blue and ruffed grouse. One hunter recently went out and In a day's hunt killed ten cats. No bounty is offered, for the destruction of the cats, but hunters are requested to kill them and preserve tne Diras, wnose nests are upon the ground.

That is the best belief for him which brings him to a realization of this fundamental fact, and then inspires him gladly to share In the needed movements of modern IKe. Therefore, three other things are lm mediately uecesuary, namely, these: First, a religious sense; second, the correct and proper use of this religious sense; third, an abiding dynamic in matters of personal belief. We are In danger of losing the relig ious sense and that which goes with it. Perhaps this is the greatest dan ger of the age. Many persons are dying while they seem to live because of spiritual atrophy. Selfishness, narrowness and small ness are the bane of religion. Too many have become religious, in name at least, for what they desire to get out of it, rather than what they can put into it. Then narrow souls are asking for a pleasing little tete-a-tete. The exclusive "spirit has no place In religion. All true religion Is thorough ly democratic The best evidence of our being on the inside is that we think of those outside, and then come to understand that there is no limit to the love of God. : Brnad Spirit I F.wutlal. The religious sense must ever re gard life in its entirety and manifest a broad and brotherly spirit. A be lief In the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man and the practice of the golden rule should make a creed large enough. Inclusive enough, and good enough for us all. Here we might stand on common ground, and think In world terms, and love all men with the love of God, and serve humanity, without regard to race, color or class, in the spirit of Jesus Christ. The best that belief can do is to allow the life and love of God to flow through us to others. In this manner we retain and develop the re ligious sensa. Its correct use is found, therefore, through the spirit of altruism an al truism not of the dreamy, sentimental sort, but one of vita!, practical, In tense and permanent consecration. The best version of life is found through the best vision of life. When Jesus Christ looks through our eyes and loves through our hearts, then shall we see in ail men the possible, or ac tual brothers of Christ whom he elects to be the "joint heirs" of God with him. Sinful souls; souls that have gone over the line In the wrong' direction; recalcitrant souls; souls that -have de serted Christ; souls languishing In life at zero in all of these we shall see the possibilities of high enthusiasms and noble loyalties, and unselfish de votion, and we shall hear Christ say ing, "Go unto my brethren." They have an everlasting, though unclaimed, inheritance. "My .father, and your father, my God and your God." Keligious belief and personal com munion are not to despise ecstasy, if ecstasy be found, and there are times when it should be known, though it is not embarrassingly conspicuous in Tradea School Class Sees Woolen Mills Run.

From the washing-room we were taken upstairs to the cardlng-room. Here we saw it pass through machine after machine and carded and carded and recarded, until finally we found It being twisted into yarn and wound on long rollers. There were 13 sets of these machines, three in a set. and each set cost $5000. Up another llight of stairs and we confronted the "mules." The "mules" run on a track up to the rollers, take a bit of yarn In their teeth, slowly back up, pulling out the yarn and twisting it into a neat, compact thread; when they reach the end of their rope they switch their tails, which allows the thread to fly loose and they slowly return while the thread is being wound on' spindles ready for the weavers, as the mule al lows it to slack. When the thread Is wound up' the mule takes another hold on the yarn and the operation Is re peated. Perhaps right here I should say that the "mule" is a machine. Just why it is called a mule I do not know, unless it is because it backs up and balks with mulish regularity, although it winds the spindles truly and evenly and the yarn, like the brook, "runs on forever." Our next stop was In the weaving room and our guide's instructions prac tically camo to a stop. It would have taken a voice with the force of the Oregon City falls. to have been heard above the deafening clack-clack of the looms. Wo had studied the Jacquard looms and knew something of how hey worked, so we did not try to ask ques tions, but simply watched. The shuttles whirred back and fortn and the pattern grew. The weavers who watched so closely seemed a part of th machine. The . paper patterns which came slipping out stopped with a Jerk and looped themselves into place. .Then did It all over again. They might easily have been taken for the music of a player piano if they had been found in a record case. The looms which were being strung up were the most Interesting of all. A girl worked on each side and threaded the yarn back and forth. To our unaccustomed eyes there seemed millions and millions of these threads and they all seemed confused. A fnw moments of watch ing showed us that each thread had a .....1.

Hut the best thut her belief could do was to make her go. Tho meaning of life is to be f'Hiud in tho mission 'f life, and nowhere clue. The best that belief can drt Is to compel us to mi.ku tho best use of the rcllKious sense. An abiding dynamic in matters of personal belief will, all other things considered being ctual, make us ade quate and efficient. Here the basic fact must be a knowledge of the Chrlsi of personal experience. Tho Christ f history Is historically known, and v o must give him his place hi tho hi.it"iv of the human race. Hut an cft'reltvu Christianity, an adequate religion, de pends more upon tho Christ of per sonal experience, than of dogmatic theology, possibly this explains why Christ tnrried awhile between his reh urrection and ascension. Hetwcn the two events the glorified Christ got hold of his disconcerted followers an.l de livered them from their moral dilemma. He helped thorn to find their place, power, poise and primncy. When this was done he ascended lo the Father. Then came a new and mm meaning to his words .-poking during the night of sorrow when the itar oT his unfaltering belief in men burned white llcht at the ed;:o of the rifted cloud "Verily, verily. I say unto you. he that believeth on me, Iho works that I do, shall he. do also; ami greater works than these shall ho du becausn I go unlo the Father." ftismy Problems Are 'hnllcna.es. He did not mean his absence, but his continued co-operalion Intensilled through his complete victory, ills Im mediate followers took up his- pro gramme, and carried out their part, with the mighty dynamic of thoxe who knew the Christ of personal experi ence. We, in turn, are hern to do our part. Others will come after us to do theirs; and so on. In the sublime con tinuity of life until Christ shall de liver a subdued world and a glorified, vindicated humanity to God. The best that belief can do fur us is to make us qual to the demands of the times in which we live. Local problems. National problems, gigantic world problems challenge ns. When our belief is all that It should be. clear, strong, full of good sens and certitude, and sustained of a migh'ty dynamic, then shall new o?- casions teaching new duties, Pnd us equaling our opportunities with our ability, and a high sense of our re sponsibility; for the demands of any ago may be met with tho actual belief of that age.

"Kansas has not had good wheat-growing weather for the last few weeks," said llipresen tatlve Phil Campbell, of Pittsburg. Kan., at the Wlllnrd. "And unless there is a turl In the weather, the Knnsns farm ers may not make the same kind of a crop they did last year, when the crop reached a high record figure. "The state produced In 1914 mure wheat than any other state, and tlio crop was worth more to tho fnrnura than In any previous year, the averngo price per bushel for the 1.114 crop, ac cording: to the figures of the Agricul tural Department, being $1.07. This was less than the average prlco of some other states, but those states that sold at a higher figure are small producers of wheut. Alabama had tho top aver age price, with $1.35. but Alabama al ways sold Its wheat at a big price. The average prico per bushel received by Kansas farmers for their wheat for the last five years was 85 cents, and this, you may know, is a pretty good price. "The farmers of Kansas, as of other wheat-producing states, have held a part of their crop on the farm. They had on their farms about 17 per cent of their total production, which is about the average held in the country. This reserve, however, la less than it was last year at the same time, when the amount was nearly 20 per cent of the 1S13 crop. "The agricultural situation In the state Is better than it has been in a long time, and the farms are In good condition. We have not suffered as much as other sections of the country from business depressions. But the peo ple are determined, I believe, to change the politics of the Government In the next election. This was indicated by the election of last November, and in confirmed by the general destruction of Progressives to the Republican ranks." TAR POURED ON WOMAN Widow.
