Why Is It?
Why is it that some nights the
sky glitters with stars and some
nights the sky seems starless?
As a matter of fact ' the sky
is never starless— morning noon
and night bright days and dark
nights in storm and calm the
stars shine on as bright and as
beautiful as on the starriest mid-
summer night-
But in the day time we cannot
see them on account of the sun’s
brightness which overshadows
them and when clouds or a fog
or heavy mist passes between
our eyes and the stars the rays
of light that have traveled mil-
lions and billions of miles never
reach us But the clouds and
the fogs only hide the stars from
us they do not really effect the
heavenly bodies and whether
they are visible or not to people
down on earth they are always
shining

Then and Now and Napolean
Many are thinking of Napole-
on during this European war
What would he do? Would he
be again the wonderful master
of the situation? Or has the
science of war developed beyond
his comprehension?
A hundred years from Water-
loo showed a remarkable evolu-
tion in the science of killing men
Aeroplanes and dirigibles are
flocking over blood-soaked
gium where a century ago trans-
portation of armies was agigan-jiOrd of the invisible world
tic task Huge mototf trucks'
Q
hauling tons of equipment whizz
from one end of the field to the
other Field telephones have
eliminated the aides-de-camp
Movements of battalions are
flashed heliograph or ticked by
wireless
With all of the Little Corpor-
al’s military acumen and the
Frencj courage his career on the
fielcof battle would be brief'
Vfrir science has made the same
progress that has been made in
other lines of endeavor In th'i
Napoleonic armies one-fortieth
were engineers In the present
armies one-sixteenth are engi-
neers Civilization is pulling
away from the primal idea of
brute strength and courage It
is the carefully figured and
scientifically planned battles
which count
A century’s progress has rolled
over the sleeping wizard of many
battles In his day he was fore-
most Today he would be ob-
scure The world goes on
Great minds and heroes serve
their purpose Each succeeding
age produces its hero

A Thought for the Week
Then shall the Judge of the
dead answer: Let this soul pass
on he lives upon truth He has
made his delight in doing what is
good to men and what is pleas-
ing to God He has given food
to the hungry drink to the thirs-
ty and clothes to the naked
His lips are pure and his hands
- are' pure His heart weighs
ejLujht in the balance He fought
on the earth the battle of the
gods even as his Father the
had
commanded him 0 God the
protector of him who brought his
cry unto Tlhee make it well for
him in the world of spirits: He
loved his father he honored his
mother he loved his brethren
He never preferred the great
man to him of low condition
He was a wise man his soul
loved God He was a brother to
the great and a father to the
humble and he never was a mischief-maker
Such as these shall
find grace in the eyes of the
great God They shall dwell in
the abodes of glory where the
heavenly life is led The bodies
which they have abandoned will
repose forever in their tombs
while they will enjoy the pres-
ence of the great God— From
the Egyptian Book of the Dead
