My only hope for the work! kin bringing 111: human mind into contact with divine revelationâ€"Wm. E. Gladstone. There are but two direct chan~ ncls of communication betwegnfl man and his Godâ€"the Bible ankfi the instinctive soul longing. The one great source of ”divine’ reve- lation”. is the Bible. Depriye a child of Bible knowledge during hit 'fitst twenty years and ,the TheBiNOIIIGMdn. Now our streets are nearly all improved and there ,seems to be no reason why the bicyclists should-not keep in the carriage drive and leaVe the sidewalk to the use of the pedestrians.. When some thoughtless young man on his bicycle with its noiseless, tread dashes past a person it is annoy- ing especially if the person is a lady and In the evening If we mistake not there was an ordinance passed some years ago agaipst riding bicycles on the sidewalks. At that time there were none or not more than one of two streets pavegi. The law was too drastic under 'thc con- ditions: for not unfrequently the affects were too mudd‘y to use a bicycle. For that reason a lime more refined. more charitable, more after the similitude of the Christ- We must not become, pessimistic An ounce of opti- mism is worthmore in the ‘effort «to better conditions than apound of pessimism. We must continue to expose. to condemn; to punish ' label-alkamchorm later! the ordinance was either modified or not rigidly enforced. Wing; but we must also continue to bepatient to be kind. to be charitable, to be forgiving and to do as we would be done by As ive read the literature of to- day. one is prone to think that as a people we have all gone to the had. or at least we are rapidly heading that way; That graft and greed grinding monopoly and gross impurity have taken full passession of us. Not at all i we have just as intelligent men, just as great men, just as wise statesmen as we ever had. There is more charity. more philanthro~ py, more generosity. more of true Christianity than there has ever been before. we are naturally deceived by the fact that’never before has wrong doing been so openly exposed. so eondemed as it is in this land to-day. [And if it is not as severely punished as it was a century ago, it is because we have become more-cultured.

They are almost certain to anchor all the scraps of paper by chance caught in the winds and thereby cause an unsightly ap- pcarancc. But even worse; some ~ (them especially the thistle and fit: ham if allowed to mature, the sa§hy nature’ 5 arrangement is certain to scatter far and near much to the annoyance ot people; who try to keep their lawns clean and m neat condition. : Let every citizen ”lend a hand" 'in making Highland Park the mast beautiful city on the North Shore. Nature has done her part aid made it' possible for us to accomplish the rest. Of course a young city cannot become beautiful all at once It takes time. But it is ‘safe to say that the most unsightly spots in Highland Park are vacant lots tuned by persons who do not live here; and who too often are holding the lots till the thrifty residents have inereased their value. One of the unsightly features olthe ' unimproved lot, if 'uncared for, is the grOwth of rank weeds. No city ever becomes beautiful by; law. There rfiust be a hearty co-operation of all the property owners individuallv. each making ~hi9. own property neat and attrac- tive. Where some ‘ d6 beautify their own premises andpthers do not, the untidy places take from the value of the others. Two or three evenings ago an elderly. man was walking on Sher- idan Place eastward- When .he reached the viaduct under the trolley tracks he suddenly fell striking his head on the cement walk. - When the city put down thelcement walk under the tracks recently. a 7-inch step was made in the walk just where the steps on the west side of the trolley lead down to the carriage .drive. The man was partially blinded by the strong glare of the electric light before and a little above him andof course did not'expect steps in‘a street sidewalls. it Was almost a miracle that he was not seriously hurt. We fail to see why the sidewalk was not allowed. ‘ {as before to incline on the same grade as the drive. As it is, surely some gradual incline made of plank should take the place of the step lest there should happen some day a double calamity- somebody receive a sad injury and the city have a damage bill to pay.. , ' But suppose it did sometimes happen that an injudicious teacher should make some unwise remark. shall we on that account banish from our educational system this first and greatest source of ”divine revelation" ? ~ The great bum: about the use of the Bible' in our schools is thefear that lsome teacher viii unwisely use it to prosclyte; -We have had more. than the average opportunity to 'study this point. We have never. so far as we can recollect, known ' a teacher in public schools to make a direct or indirect use of the Bible to incul- cate denominational beliefs. We have many times put the question to Others. if they had known such instances and invariably received a negative answer. AWW_ Land aHand. The speeches of the day weie well received. Prof. Graham being the principal orator. He spoke at the camp tire and recited a great many pieces; A. K. Steams and George Edmund Foss also made splendid addresses. Foss ipaid a glowing‘ tribute to the. "Navy and» what the sailor lads had done for our country. It was the note which made his SPCCChi sopopular as the Navy has been in past years forgotten on oeca~ sions of this kind. He also paid a glowing: tribute to the Women who fought the battles of lonelio ness and care of the home while the soldier was away at the front. afldcd.

The chauffeur jumped in. time to save his life- Miss Grace Glldden. a guest at the Moraine. was the only passenger, andas she was in the "back seat she kept her place and was uninjured. The accident has roused a great deal of com- mcnt relative to the clearing away of the shrubbery which makes the crossing a dangerous one. and badly damaged. to the extent: at at least h‘alf-iisialue.‘ It was in charge of a licensed chauffeur. and he had just unloaded passeni gers ‘at the Northwestern depot and .had started on the return; trip.
