"Graustark." as you may remember, is the romance Miss Jeannette Gilder liked better than " The Prisoner of Zenda." The story is beautifully illustrated by Heyer. Some of the pictures are shown in reduced size in this advertisement. We have secured " Beverly of Graustark " FOR OUR COLUMNS and will start it In an early issue, due notice of which will appear later.

While the tonic of the lessou is -xne Ascension," the portion assigned cov ers the evenlnc of the first resurrec tlon dav and susjiestively all the nventa between that and the actual ascension of verse 51. The alternate lesson suecested by the committee is a Christmas lesson from John 1, 1-14, on "The Word made flesh." but Dotn can he ensllv. combined, and each contains facts and tmiths which need to be stmnirlv eumhaslzed. The ord by whom all things were created was made flesh and dwelt among men on earth, God manifest in the flesh, and the bodv in which lie Qweit was pre pared by the Holy Spirit in the Virgin Mary, so that Jesus was m a pec-unm nrwi iinlmie sense "the seed of the wo man" (I Tim. iii, 10; Luke 1, 31, 3D) of Gen. ill, 15. He was made or a woman, mnilo under the law. to redeem mem that were under the law (Gal. lv, 4, 5), and, having borne our slus in ins ow u iwwiw th tree and been made a curse for us, He rose from the dead In a literal, material body or uesu anu i,nn pnncpriiinHr which He Baid, "Handle Me and see," and He showed them in His bands and feet tue mares e nulla bv which He had been fastened to the cross. He also actuully .t. i.ofnre them fverses 39-43). "That ,.u,,,.ro,.fi,,n hndv is a sample or wimi ours will be when we shall be UUe Him" (I John ill, 2; Flill. I. . IU tl.o first resnrrection at HIS COlUlng.

As we see how literally prophecy uas ueeu Hiiin,i in reference to His humilia tion and sufferings we must believe tliat all prophecy concerning uis King dom and glory shall be Just as literally fulfilled, remembering Ills words in verse 44, "All things must be fulfilled," and again iu John x, 35, "The Scrip ture cannot be broken." There Is no power for life or testimony apart from the Word of God and the Spirit of God, but filled with these the weakest ves sel will be used by God as a witness Toona fiirist Everv believer has become a temple of the Holy Ghost and is indwelt by llim (Joun xiv, i, I Cor. vl, 10, 20), but every believer should be filled with the Spirit (Eph. v, 18), speaking tho word or uou wim KirtnBa Ar-is iv. 31). for otherwise the preaching, however orthodox, may be only cold water msieuu ui ""u6 water to make His name known (Isa. What ne was and did those roriy days between His resurrection and visible ascension gives us some idea of what we shall be and do in our resur- -Haii bodies in His kingdom, or which He had so much to say those forty days (Acts i, 3). While this pres "the mvstery of tue CUb wew " ' kingdom" (Matt, xlll, 11) continues and the witnesses go rortn wiui u incorruptible seed of the word we must expect to find It just as He said It would be in the parables ui i" BAror mid of the wheat and tares and other parables; but. as He was sus tained under all ins iriais vy i" jj set before Him (Heb. xll, 2), so we, like the disciples, may Joyfully con tinue (52, 63) amid all discourage ments to be His faithful witnesses. A more full account of His ascension Is found In Acts I, 9-11, where notice the words "taken up" in verses 9, 11, and also verses 2, 22. In that same material but glorified body which came out of the tomb, which could be bandied and in which He could eat and walk or vanish at pleasure, He oo.wi tn the rfirht hand of God, where as our High ITiest lie ever iiv etu to make Intercession for us, sym pathizing with us, for He was In all points tempted like as we are. We can scarcely understand the amazement of the disciples as they saw Him slowly and calmly, with lift ed hands stretched out to bless them, leave their midst and majestically -cend skyward. They were lost to all but their ascending Lord till the cloud received Him out of their sight, auo then they continued gazing up iuto heaven, as if perchance they might ob tain another glimpse or mm, uuui they were recalled to earth by the voice of two beside them, who said, "This same Jesus which is tanen up from you into heaven shall so come la like manner as ye have seen Him go Into heaven." This second coming i Christ to end this age and bring in a better one is the blessed hope of the church (Tit. ii, 13) for wulcn we wan. He will come to the air to receive us to Himself (I Thess. iv, 10 18; I Cor. xv, 23, 81, 82), and then a little later He will come in glory, bringing all His saints with Him to end this age and set up His kingdom with Israel as Its center (Col. Hi, 43; I Thess. Ill, 13). Then shall IIU feet stand again on the very hill from which He as cended, and Israel tibnll receive Him at thetr Messiah (Zecb. xlv, 1-5; Isa. xxv, 9); then shall be glory to Ud and peace on earth. What U B-t Poller I 8electi Reprraentatlvea to State Grange T rsnnrlnl forresDondence. The season for electing delegates to the various state granges to be held from December to February is now on. According to the custom now pre vailing, the delegates are chosen from the romona grange in counties where there Is a romona, and in some in stances the most efficient representa tives find their way to the state grange. In some cases they are not the most efficient. The custom which prevails in some counties of passing the Donors nrmin.i to the subordinate granges In the county does not always bring the best representatives to tne rronr, yei It mn v be onlv to the subordinate granges that they share the honors with each other. But even u uus rinno the delegate at large should be chosen because of his experience at the state grange meetings and De one nf tim niiiest men that the county can select. The very ablest on the delegate list may be found from granges in every Order. It has been suggested in a www" grange paper that members of subor dinate granges should select the state grange officers they would like to see elected and have their vote canvassed and declared at the state grange meet ing. Only such names as appear on the bnllots sent In by the subordinate rrniii? should be considered candi dates. We do not favor this plan at all. Rather than this we would prerer to see nominations made in open grange, the same as In political con ventions, allowing the delegate wuu placed his candidate In nomination, say, ten minutes to set forth the claims and qualifications of his candi date. At present nominating speeches are not allowed, and often members cannot know of the qualifications which a candidate possesses. Even in the Pomona and subordinate granges It Is not allowable to nominate candi dates for office, yet it would save time If this were permissible. In a recent romona grange meeting Ave iieiecrntes were to be elected to the state grange. The plan of passing the honors around among tue granges is In vogue, and there was a desire on the part of some of the officers to give granges In a distant part or tne couniy a representation, yet few present knew who were representative men to select This plan was resorted to: A commit tee of five was appointed to present list of ten names to represent those granges that had not recently been honored with a delegate. Out of those ten names five were to be selected delegates, thus allowing the members of the Tomona a little choice in the matter. This was found to save time, and the result was satisfactory to all concerned. Whether this plan would be advisable la electing officers of subordinate, Tomona or state granges u nrnhlemntlcal. A rATRON. . t'" STATE GRANGE DELEGATES. BaaU on Which Ther Are AlloHe Explained. It is not clear to all members of the grange Just what the basis of repre sentation in the state grange is. We refer now to New York state particu larly. Delegates are allotted to dif ferent counties by the state grange secretary upon reports received from the subordinate granges for the quar ter ending Sept. 80. The allotment to made Nov. 15, and every grange In the state Is notified of the number of iontoa ti.nt the county will be en- ucic,iiiv8 - titled to in which it is located. Every county is entitled to one delegate at large, whether it has one grange ot fifty. Then, In addition to the delegate at large, the county is entitled to an other for each full 400 members, nd after that one delegate may be elected for every fraction of 400 members ex ceeding 200. Each alternate delegate must be a matron. These delegates are elected at the romona grange meetings in counties where there is Tv,iinii irrniiffo. If not. the county deputy calls a meeting some time in December of all the masters and past masters and their wives who are matrons, and they elect the delegates from every county. Any fourth degree member is eligible. If a male delegate is accompanied by bis wife, be draws five days' pay Instead of four, and the same Is true If the delegate is a wo man accompanied by her husband. Delegates are paid $2.50 per oay oi four days and 6 cents mileage one way. Hew Thinn. Ia Grange Work. Among "new things" in grange work during recent months are noted Ore gon's vigorous lecture hour plans (in cluding a literary, a travel and a geo graphical topic, besides Its farm topics), reunsylvanla's grange banks, New York's and New Jersey's grange schol arships In agricultural colleges Ohio's borne and grange reading courses. These are by no means all. simply straws which show the trend of a pretty strong grange wind, say you not? Prealdrat Btterel laansarate. rrofessor Kenyon L.
