t l l . 1-" “ _ Riches Are Not at All an .Indexxtc Char actor or Worth. ‘ "For I was envious at the foolish when I. saw the prosperity of the wicked.”â€" 1’s. lxxiii., 3. Sonic saints have lost a lot of sleep worrying over. the prosperity of the wicked and some sinners have made themselves ridiculous boasting over their nmnunity from adversity. It has seemed strange to the saints that. the Omni- potent, who hates sin, should allow so many of the good things of this world to fall into the hands of the unworthy; if they had a chance they could tell where they would be much better bestowed. l l self? Can any other than yourself make you essentially either richer or poorer? This is not a plea for men to be con- tent with poverty ; to every man belongs that share of this world‘s things which he shall earn by the investment of him- self in the world. 'Religion does not mean the love. of poverty nor the lazy spurning of life’s duties and rewards. 'l‘he enlarging and enriching of “US world of things is the sacred duty of every man. But how foolish are we who judge only by that which is on the surface, who talk about the injustice of a world it is true that‘ there are many bad men in which had men can get so many good \\ ho have plenty of money, lands, and {pings and {an to see that no bad 11181] other possessions; it is true that. there are many thoroughly good men and women who do not have even as much as they seem to need. But it also is true that the snarling, Glamorous voice of envyjever is ready to assert that a man must. have sold his soul to the evil one because he has secured some mea- sure of success. The saints are not all poor; the sinâ€" ners are not all rich. The moral order of the universe does not have to justify itself by the precise and equitable divi- sion of dollars. The indictment of Provi- dence on account of the providence of the wicked simply indicates the tendency of us all to measure all things by the money standard. WHO is THE l’llOSl’EROUS MAN? There is a world of difference between being personally prosperous and being the nominal possessor of things that are prosperous in themselves. A poor-kind of a man may own a rich farm and a man may be rich in himself while get.â€" ting his living off a poor farm or at. a poor job. Prosperity must be measured by the person and not by his possessions. We answer the question, “How much is a man worth?” by quoting figures and bank account. But we know well that many a man said to be worth millions is actually not worth 10 cents in himselLI is not in his own characte’ adding onellJOSSESW-l- mile to the world’s wealth. “but. are you, the real self, worth?

A Method “’hich Is Said to Preserve 'l‘hcm Absolutely for Months. - It may be news to many housewives that. at. the cost of only one cent a dozen, plus a little time and trouizile, they can keep fresh eggs for several months and still have them “strictly fresh.” The spoiling of eggs is declared by scientific men to be due to the entrance 0i air, carryii‘ig'gcrms of decomposition through the .shells. Normally an egg shell has a coating of mucilaginous mat- ter. not perceptible to the touch but. quite sufficient to make the shell airtight. This coating will keep out germs for quite a while, especially if the egg is carefully handled, but it is sure to be- come Softened in time, either by washing or by friction with a case or with other eggs. Then the germ-laden air gels in and the egg begins to spoil. This explains why eggs packed in lime or salt. or placed in cold storage are very far from being fresh when they come on the market.
