hastened their most reliable and ex-
pert reporters to the scene of the dis-

been issued during the week just

Some few errors crept in. as is natur-

Much bitterness is being engendered.
And it is no wonder, for if what the
opponents cf the bill say is true it
means financial ruin to many sewerage

cost the large city companies manj

ruined the streams and threatens dis-

Rough and F. D. Perkins, of McKin-

this week representing the McKinney

defeat the measure, claiming it means

The twelve good men and true who

the same. There Is a law. not on the

the men who live under our ,)ri^

says no matter what the letter of the

can never be better.
You say you will go to church when
the cold weather is over with; will go
when it is not so hot; when it is not
so dusty; when it is not so muddy.
Then you will never go. For it is nev-
er going to be any better than it is
right now. Heat and cold, dust ana
mud, will be here just as long as time
is. Don't delude yourself; it cannot
be any better. It is made that way.
God made it, and it is just right.
Nothing wrong with God's weatner.
The trouble is with the man God made
and the devi.l spoiled. The weather is
good enough for those to go to God's
house who want to go.
You say you will begin giving more
attention to religion when you have
a little more time; when you "get
caught up" with, the many things
that press you; when the rush is over
with. Then you never will do it. For
you now have all the time there is,
and there cannot be any more. Work
will always be pressing you, unless
you are a no-account, workless man.
It can never be any better. God plan-
ned for you all you can do. and there
is plenty to keep you busy all your
life. You have plenty of time to do it
all. But you are letting the devil put
you onto some of his jobs. Oh. no.
not'breaking social and moral laws,
not that; but just so busy about other
things, things for self, that you have
no time to do your duty—God's work
for you.
You say you will begin to put a part
of your earnings into religion and
things that help other people when
you "get fixed a little better;" when
you get out of debt; when you get
your home paid for: when the mort-
gage is lifted from your farm; when
your children are all educated. Then
you will never do It. These hands,
or others, will be held out for your
dollars just as long as you have a dol-
lar. A man never gets "fixed" so that
he has no selfish use for his money
and for his time.
Weather and time and money will
always be just as they are now. And
I'm glad. Just get into harmony with
God's plans for you and yon will find
that the world Is all right. Just use
It rightlv. Be Bure it Is God's spoiled
man and hl despoiler that are wrong,
and nothing else.—Presbyterian Ad-
vance.

LIFE HERE AND NOW.
Even those who believe in and real-
ize something of the nearness of the
Unseen, are too apt to be so immersed
In. the things of time and sense that
they more or less unconsciously put
ofT t'he conscious entrance into a ful-
ler and deeper life until they "shuffle
off this mortal coil." This is a tragic
mistake. We may enter into life now
—Life with a capital L—the Life of
the Divine Spirit.
For many reasons, we can not af-
ford to defer this close contact with
the Unseen and Eternal. We need all
the reinforcement we can obtain in
order to maintain our footing against
the allurements of passion and evil;
we can not expect to progress in
spiritual things unless we allow some-
thing of their glamour to influence us
continually; further, every advance
we make is adding to our spiritual ef-
fectiveness in a world which stands in
sad need of greater exemplification
of the power of the things of tne spir-
it.
We are spirits now just as much as
ever we shall be, and In so far as
meaning can be given to mortal life
at all. It must be looked upon as a
school In which we are placed to learn
much needed lessons at the hands of
Experience. Whether we shall be
given another chance to learn these
lessons elsewhere if we neglect to
take advantage of our present oppor-
tunities need not concern us at the
moment. The fact that life here is
always more or less p struggle against
environment or against allurements to
evil should put us on our mettle as
spiritual beings not only to overcome
difficulties, but to be the stronger for
