The Kingdom of God vs. Civiliza­
tion.
Civilization has changed the new
world from a wilderness inhabited
bv roving bands of savages to a
land of homes and refinement.
Just as civilization overcame the
evils of savagery the Kingdom of
God is ordained to remedy the
faults of civilizatiou.
One of the peculiar incidents ac-
cured when Christ, the author of
the Kingdom of God, was born on
tlie wav to taxation, one of the great
evils of civilization.
Crime aud insanity are civil dis­
ci ses, the leading cause of taxation.
Men who subscribe to the soverign
will of God and thereby become sub­
jects of God’s kingdom,I have no
need of asylums of prisons Civili­
zation have outlived its useful­
ness, it has answered its purpose,
and should be laid by for the more
important kingdom of God.
The kingdom of God, unlike
churches, has always been a unit
It has never been divided or itn-
proved upon or revised.
It ia the only thing that has a
piomise in the Bible, and the only
thing Christ ever preached, or ever
authorized anyone else to preach.
There iBbut one gospel and that is
tbe gospel of the kingdom of God.
Churches are a part of civilization
and while the gates of hell does
not prevail against them, there ia
no good reason why they should
not be replaced by the kingdom of
God.
My grand parents had large

we. will be exterminated by the next

case is true with the great mass of

to us means to get off the earth.
Thé kingdom of God is the only-
thing that can remedy defeats of
civilization.
J. C. GOVE.
There used to be a mania—and it
•till has a hold in some sections—
for farmers to increase their farm
possessions in spite of their ina­
bility to properly use the same.
They kept adding to their number
of acres until finally “land poor”
was the result. It is different, to a
great extend, to-day. The aim now
ia, or should be, to get all that is
possible out of a email territory.
Little farms, well tilled, have
proved to be more profitable than
acres with only half treatment.

No Color In th» Dark.
In tbe dark there is no such a thing
as color. Tbe reddest dress is Just tbe
same color as a pure white tableclotb
when both are placed in a dark closet,
if you would understand this assume
tbe presence of a light wave motion In
tbe ether. The color of light depends
upon tbe length of these waves. Tbe
light waves producing tbe colors in
tbe blue end of tbe spectrum are very
short compared with those that pro­
duce the colors near tbe red end. Tbe
light source that we know as red given
off only waves of a length to produce
that particular color. A body appears
red because its surface absorbs all tbe
other waves and reflects the red waves
back Into tbe eye. If an attempt is
made to light a blue body with red
light It will fall, because tbe blue body
Is capable of reflecting only tbe short
waves producing tbe blue, and since
the red source produces none of these
there will be no reflection and the body
will appear black. A thing looks black
when It is capable Of absorbing all tbe
colors at once.—St. Louis Republic.
Improving th» Book of Job.
i remember the relief with which,
after long feellug tbe sway of Frank­
lin's Imperturbable common sense, 1
came upon a project of bls for a new
version of tbe book of Job to replace
the old version, tbe style of which,
says Franklin, baa become obsolete
aud hence less agreeable. “I give,” he
continues, "a few verses which may
serve as a sample of the kind of ver­
sion I would recommend.”
We all recollect tbe famous verse In
our translation, “Then Satan answered
tbe Lord and said. Doth Job fear God
for naught?” Franklin makes this,
"Does your majesty Imagine that Job's
good conduct is the effect of mere per­
sonal attachment and affection?"
1 well remember bow, when I flrat
read that. 1 drew a deep breath of re­
lief and said to myself, “After all,
there is a stretch of humanity beyond
Franklin's victorious good sense.”—

An Awful Experience.
A native diver descended Into tbe

then in course of construction, had set.
While he was engaged in this work a
great iron cylinder subsided a little,
crushing bls baud between It and tbe
masonry. When, on a signal being giv­
en. another diver came down be found
bls unfortunate comrade imprisoned
under water without hope of escape.
After a few moments of mute deepair
and barrowing uncertainty a speech­
less decision was arrived at. and the
newcomer proceeded with chisel and
hammer to back off bis unhappy com­
panion's hand at tbe wrist Tbe pris­
oner was tbus liberated, but died soon
after reaching tbe surface from the
shock. Never, I think, has an opium
