dof religiousness which makes it- felt to-day in scientific investi the only creative religious ct our time. The art of to- ean hardly be looked upon at all as expressive of our religious insticts." i practical philosophy would mean a philosophy of conduct. And I do pot think that science can teach men to be moral. I do mot believe that a "moral philosophy can ever be founded on a 'scientific basis. You could not] : for instance, teach men to face death to-morrow in defence - of scientific truth. Science has no power of that type over the human spirit. "The valuation of life and all its mobler expressions can only come out of the soul's yearning toward its own destiny. Every attempt to reduce ethics to scientific formulas must fail. "Of that I am perfectly convinced. On the other hand, it is undoubtedly true that scientific study of the higher kinds and general interest in scientific "theory have great value in leading men toward a worthier valuation of the things of the spirit. But the con- . tent of scientific theory itself offers no moral foundation for the personal conduct of life." "I think 'that this extraordinary In- "terest which the general public takes in science today, and the place of high importance which It holds in people's minds, is one of the strongest signs of "the metaphysical needs*of our time. It shows that people have grown tired of materialism, ip the popular sense of the term; it shows that they find life empty and that they are looking toward something beyond mere per- "Sonal interests. This popular interest _ in scientific theory brings into play the higher spiritual faculties, and anything that does go m 'st be of high import- ance in the moral betterment of hu- manity."" "The intuitive and constructive spiritual faculties must come into play wherever a body of scientific truth is concerned. A body of scientific truth may be built up with the stone and mortar of its own teachings, logically arranged. But to build it up and to understand it, you must bring into play the constructive faculties of the artist. No house can be built with stone and mortar alone. "Personally, I find it of the highest importance to bring all the various faculties of the understanding into co- operation. By this I mean that our moral leanings and tastes, our sense of beauty and religious instincts, are all tributary forces in helping the rea- soning faculty toward its highest achievements. It is here that the moral side of our nature comes in-- that mysterious Inner consecration which Spinoza so often emphasized under the name of amor intellectuall." With me, the sensa of beauty in na- ture and all my artistic leanings have , developed hand in hand with the pur- suit of science. And I believe- that without the one, the other 1s not pos- 'sible, Certainly in the case of all the really productive minds that I know of, the one hes been united with the other. The artistic talents of the men _1 am thinking of may mot always have been consciously developed or formal ly employed; but these talents or tastes have always been active in giv- ing urge and direction to the scientific mind." "The pathos of distance can be ex- . pressed when the mind follows the fast flight of the aeroplane, or the swift ocean liner, or when one thinks of the conquering of distance through the radio.

Israel and b were close neighbors and very much alike. Their lan was similar, they were of the same Hebrew race, and the customs of their religious worship cannot have been widely different. With Ruth's determination to follow Naomi to Bethlehem went almost inavitably her choice of Naomi's God. Like most of the people of her time she thought, most probably, that the god of Moab ruled only in the land of Moab, and that in leaving that land and identify- ing herself with Naum's people she was really entering the territory of the God of Israel. Her marriage with Boaz, as with Ler first husband, was with a man of a race nearly akin to her own and. of ideas and traditions closely similar. The case is very dif- ferent and the problem much more difficult when white and black and yel- low races mingle socially and inter- marry. But in both cases the soluti of the problem can only be reached hy Ruth's way--by a common faith and a great good will with mutual toler- ance and respect. I. LOVE OVERCOMING NATIONAL DIFFER- ENCES, 1: 1-22. The distance from Bethlehem to Moab was not great. A journey of forty or fifty miles eastward around the northern end of the Dead Sea and southward aga'n would bring the travelers into its rich pasture lands and cuitivated fields, It must have n a bitter and ,ainful experience for the widowed Naomi to leave be- hind her in a strange land the bodies of her husband and sons, but she is comforted by the warm attachment of her daughters-in-law. Ruths love for her triumphs over her natural affec- tion for her own people, and she deter- mined to go all the way and to cast in her lot with Naomi. The language of her decision has become u classic of pure and distinguished fidelity and love, vs. 16, 17. One may well believe that there was something fine and true in the older woman's character and rsonality to ati.act and hold such ove. Indeed one may go farther and believe that the better and purer re- ligious faith of Naomi as compared ith that which was common in Moab may have had its influence in deter- mining Ruth's choice. II. RECOGNIZING THE RIGHTS OF THE STRANGER, 2: 1-3: 18. The Levitical law of Israel required that the stranger should be dealt with fairly and kindly, Lev. 19: 34; Deut. 10: 17-19. Such wags the attitude of Boaz, the wealthy kinsman of Elimel- ech, toward Ruth when he aw her gleaning in his harvest field. The d in law Right to glean was recognize (Deut. 24: 19), and was extended to the stranger freely, Boaz adds the hospitality of the harvesters' lunch and the water jug. There was another ancient law in Israel which Mipears in Deut, 26: b- 10, the law of levirate pHagriage, By this it was required that a childless widow should be taken in marriage by the brother, or nearest kinsman, of her dead husband, and that the first son born of this union should succeed to the dead man's name and inheritance. Naomi now counsels Ruth to claim this kinsmaps duty of Boaz, even though she vas not of his people. The large-hearted kindliness of n accepting the duty and his high sense of honor are well illustrated in the familiar story. : IIL ENRICHING THE NATION'S LIFE, 4: The story written long afterward pauses to explain the custom by which a kinsman's right or duty might be transierred to another i' he did not chopse to exercise it.

A nation-wide inquiry, made public at the 'air, has revealed that not less than 400 years on their farms, Oldest of all farmsteads is that of Mansta, in the Province of Jemtland, which can be traced back to the pre- sent owner's earliest ancestor, one Skoldulf Botolfsson, who lived there in 1320, or more than 600 years ago. Next comes a farm which has remain- ed with the same family since 1336, and from the 1400 and onward such farms were more numerous. mee si Queen Forgives King Carol Bucharest, Rumania--Annulment of the divorce granted in June, 1928, to King Carol II of Rumania and his wife, Helene of Greece, was officially announced recently.

They are quite simple, and very little apparatus is needed. town life play havoc with people's nerves. Here is a test which indicates the state of your nerve-control. / It should be timed by a friend. Raise one foot from the ground till your knee is bent go that this leg forms a right angle. Do not let your Jegs touch one another; the hands should hang at the sides; the eyes must be closed. Remain balanced thus as long as you can; first on one leg, then on the other. Besides noting the time, your friend should observe steady, or unsteady. You should be able to keep a steady balance on either foot for not less than fifteen seconds, Another nerve-control test: oblong board on a table with one end jutting over the edge. Place a lead pencil upright near the far end of the board. Now take held of the board between finger and thumb and lift it at arm's length from the table, rals- ing it through the air until the board is on a level with your shoulder, Then carefully bring the board back again, replacing it in its original position on the table, All this must be accomp- lished without upsetting the pencil. If you can do this with both hands in | succession you will have every reason to feel pleased with yourself and the state of your nerves. To test the pulse is an equally sim- ple matter. The normal beat is from seventy to seventy-five per minute for an adult. Get a friend to ascertain what your beat per minute 18; when he has noted this you can proceed to make the test. Place one foot on the seat of a chair and raise yourself from the ground by means of that leg, going up and down five times in fifteen seconds. Your friend will give you signals for each movement; immediately afterwards he will again test and make a note of your pulse-beat, Then, thirty seconds after the exercise, he must take a third pulse reading. If you are in sound condition the result of this test should ghow an in- crease of twenty-four beats per min- ute during the exercise. Thirty sec- onds after its completion your pulse ought to have returned to its normal beat. If it has not done so, you need bracing up. Are your eyes well balanced? Often tween them, Put a couple of chairs opposite each other, and sit down facing friend. He must now raise a pencil root of your nose and at a distance of about one foot from your eyes. Now fix your eyes on the point of the pencil, which your friend must move. slowly towards you, closely watching your eyes while he does so. Both eyes should remain fixed upon the pencil until it is within an inch or so of the root of your nose. If so, your "convergence power" is good. Otherwise, one or both eyes will wan der, or you may see double, or even find the test a trifle painful. m-- Time Savers Steel articles will retain their pol ish if rubbed lightly with wax flooy polish.

In the Philippine Island 2,000 cases have been completely cleared up. In Honolulu 64 per cent of the early cases are cleared up com- pletely. On one tiny island no less | than one-third of the people died from | influenza in one year; and later on {100 cases of leprosy developed, and the numbers soon increased to 350. Work was then started on new lines, In the first place the infective cases were kept in one part of the island, "About half of the cases were treated as out-patients without being { isolated at all.

Anyone who had leprosy was segre- gated, and a service was conducted | for him, during which ea'th was | sprinkled on him, to mark him off as | dead. He had to wear special clothes, to sound a bell wherever he went in order to warn folks he was coming. This, no doubt, reduced leprosy at that time, but at the present time {hig method is doing more harm than good, for the simple reason that peo- ple do not come forward to be segre- | gated. Consequently, early cases are all hidden, and by that means the disease is allowed to go on until it js past satisfactory treatmert, n only we could get hold of the early cases and treat them, in twenty years or so it might be® possible to clear most of them up, and the advanced ones would gradually die off... .
