at least 300,000 all together. Still we are living faster and faster and no speed limit is in sight. What will the harvest be unless our Lord soon returns ? * * * Speaking o f the speed mania, it is not confined to America. In a foreign ex change we read, “A gentleman from the U. S. A., staying in Cairo, desirous of seeing as many of the wonderful antiqui ties o f Iraq as his limited time—three day|a-would permit, approached Imperial Airways, and by special ^arrangement was enabled to view most o f the better-known ancient monuments. Departing from Cairo in the ordinary airplane • service on March 8, he arrived in Bagdad at 4:15 p. m., where ?he .spent 6 hours sightsee ing. Continuing his journey in the Bag dad airliner the following morning, he viewed in turn Khazimain, Ctesiphon, the ruins of Babylon and Ur o f the Chaldees. A landing was made at the last named place and the traveler retraced hikJsteps towards Bagdad, to review from the ground the wonders he had so recently seen from the air, and to await the ar rival of the west-bound airplane on the nth.’® afe afe Walking Worthy Alexander, who is reported to have been an exceedingly swift runner, was once solicited to run in the Olympic games. He answered, “ I will, if kings are mine an tagonists.” Says William Seeker, “ Give me such a saint, who will pursue nothing on earth which may be unsuitable to his birth in heaven 1 W hat! Shall he walk in darkness, whose Father is Light! Shall those lips be found broaching falsehood, which were found breathing out prayers! Shall those eyes be found gazing on un seemly objects, which were found read ing the lively oracles of God! The re membrance of our dignity should engage us to our heavenly duty. ‘It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine and strong drink.’ Such a sin is detestable in a sovereign, who has the eyes of his subjects upon him; but is aggravated in a saint, who has, the eyes of his Saviour upon him—a spot in scarlet is worse than a stain in russet.” “Nothing is Lost” “ Nothing is lost that is done for the Lord, Let it be ever so small; The smile of the Saviour approveth the deed, As though ’twere the greatest of all. “ Nothing is lost that is done for the Lord, ’ LSf it be ever so mean; Man may but count it as trifling indeed, But Christ sees the motive within. “Nothing is lost that is done for the Lord, He will approve and repay ; Oh for a heart that is longing to serve, And labor ‘while yet it is day’ !” —A.

Insanity is said to be on the increase in this country.- On January 1, 1927, there were in the national and state institu tions for the insane more than 250,000, not including the thousands in private in stitutions, jails and other places under care of the state, waiting admission to the overcrowded hospitals, and those being cared for at home. There must have been
under perfect control and made a ziz-zag course as if she were under heavy enemy fire. Airplanes rained bombs on her deck, coastal artillery fired a dozen salvos at comparatively short range and several;, o f Germany’s cruisers gave her the full effect o f their broadsides. The mystery ship pursued its way evenly and as if nothing had happened.
