FOREST FIRES
Incendiarism, smoking, and
camp fires were the three princi
pal caused of man caused fires
within the national forests during
1925.
Each year forest fires burn an
area equivalent to a 10 mile strip
reaching from New York City to
Denver, and an area more than
eight times the acreage of the
French foiests destroyed or dam
aged during th World War.
The past, at least, is setitrt. Tbert is
Ronton and Concord and Lexington and
Banker Hill; andthere the? will remain
forerer. Daniel Webster
God who gare us lite, gave us liberty
at the tame time.
Thomas Jetierson
O
i in tne last lire years forest lire
has burned-more or less destruc
tively and with much repetition
about 45,000,000 acres of land
Less than 25,000,000 acres have
been cut over in the same time.
THE BEACON
The scene was more beautiful far to the eye
Than the day in its pride had arrayed it;
The land breeze blew mild, and the azure-arched
sky
Looked pure as the spirit that made it.
The murmur rose soft as I silently gazed
On tne Bhadowy waves playful motion.
From the dim distant hill, till the lighthouse fire
blazed
Like star in the midst of the ocean.
No longer the joy of the sailor-boy's breast
Was heerd in his wildly breathed numbers;
The sea bird had flown to her wave girdled nest.
The fisherman sunk to his slumbers.
One moment I looked from the hill's gentle slope,
All hushed was the billows' commotion,
And o'er them the lighthouse looked lovely as hope
- That star of life's tremulous ocian.
The time is long past.and the scene is afar,
Yet when my head rests on its pillow,
Will memory sometimes rekindle the star
That blaz.d on the breast of the billow.
In life's closing hour, when the trembling soul flies
And death stills the breasts last emotion,
Ob, then may the leraph of mercy arise,
Like a star on eternity's ocean.

MODIFICATION
The stock argument used by the "wets" who have
appeared before the senate iuvestigation committee
is that the dry law shoulJ be modified because it
cannot be enforced as it stands. But is that a val
id argument? The trafic laws are not enforced eith
er, shall they be repealed? Nor are the laws against
robbery and murder entirely obeyed. Statistics show
this country has twice as many murders in propor
tion to population as has Italy. Are we to repeal
the laws against murder because the present laws
are being violated?

Notes of Interest to All
Local Dnomlnations.
Accoring to the annual statis
tical report compiled for the
Christian Hetald by Dr. Carol D.
Wright there were more than 800,
000 members added to th Christ
ian churches of the United States
in 1925. Of evangelical churces,
the Methodist Church received
larger number of accesslona.Thif
should be of interes toMr Asbury,
the author of "Hat Rack", who
is said to be a descendant of the
first Methodist bishop in Ameri
ca and who announces a forth
coming book under the title. Up
From Methodism. Possibly this
statistical information may be the
reason fo his opinion that the
evangelists should all be tnng.

THE PRESIDENT
AUTHORITY AND LAW
The righteous authority of the
depends for its sacntion upon its
harmony withthe righteous author
ity ot the Almighty. If this faith s
set aside, the foudat ions of our in
stitutions fail, the citizen isdepos
from his high estate which he
holds as amenable to a universal
conscience, society reverts to a
system o class and caste, and the
government instead cf being im
by reason from within is imposed
by force from without. Freedom
, and democracy would give way to
despotism and slavery. I do not
know of any adequate support for
our form of government except
that which comes from religion.

Prayer is a beneficent habit It
itrngthens the sense the nearness
jf God, develops moral muscle
and generates spiritual power.
The churches of lone maintain
places of prayer. Do you frequent
