THE KLAN ACTIVITIES. Thers will not be much to be said in opposition to the resolution which has been introduced in the lower house of ccngress calling for an investigation of the Ku Klux Xlan to determine whether its activities are in conifict with the provisions of the United States Constitution. Efforts are being made at’ the present time to extend this or- the country and for that purpose organizers are at work in the various states. In behalf of this new organization it is claimed that there is no intention of usurping state functions, attempting to stablish a super government or of re- element sole mi THE MAN WHO TALKS The other day I saw -a boat lying high and dry on the shore. It was old, dilapidated, rotten. bunch of boys passed by some of whom kicked the old boat, and at a distance all began to plug stoues at it. I clored my cyes and louked into some day be- fore vesterday and saw that boa{ win- ning a race. It was decked with' flowers, and 1 heard the shout of loud huzzars. Yesterday it saved somebody’s life, But today it is old, unpainted, dilapidated, rotten, I turned ‘with eyes still closed towigrd wnother day before yesterday, and I saw a brigit college student borne on the shoulders of his mates because of the honor he hzd won on the gridiron; I saw him yesterday carried off the field on a stretcher with a broken back. I see him today a cripple forgotten, neglected, left prematurely to rot on the beach of life! Fellow man, if you are today in the hosanna period of ‘your life make the most of it before the night cometh with its burden. You may claw your hair and shout: “Rank pessimism.” but it's the eternal truth. Recently attention was called in these columns to the frequent ambiguity of language. I found this so particularly on the sign posts along the great highways of New Hampshire. The following was especially noticeable: “Dangerous— | Sound your horn—Ten miles away.” These si were unifermly oval in the above bit of mysticism in three lines.

You walk for a whole hour; the snow is deep, and although you are pleased to be in the fresh air again you are utterly exhausted. The wind pene- trates your light garments and you feel inclined to sit down and have a rest at all costs. But mno, the distance is great and you must walk on. After a long struggle with snew and wind you reach the village and find a peasant who may be willing to sell a few potatoes. . You enter a low, dim hut with small windows. 3 / A long discussion follows before you can persuade the sturdy peasant to sell you a few pounds of potatces. Off you g0 with your bag of potatoes, to catch a train 'tos Moscow. As you walk along you turn over in your mind what you have heard from the peasant and what is more or less the odinion of the whole peasantry.

But the playing of the moon- beams on the gently undulating surface of the sea is indescribable. It brings out that mysterious property of water known as limpidity, and suffuses it with liquid silver. 1In this respect Lake Como has nothing ‘on our Connecticut shore.

I saw one of these small sharks opened one day and on the anterior side of his diaphragm were five little bluefish that had not done the shark any harm. It led one to mor- alize whether or not this swallowing business was originally a part of God's creative purpose. Why this predatory instinct among God's creatures! You see it everywhere: The shark has it in the sea, the rattlesnake on the mountains, and both combined have For sublime it in - Wall street, and other offices dealing in stocks and bonds.

Sun—éay Morning Talk 1S HELL PREACHED ENOUGH? This is a question that deserves to be carefully considered. There is no doubt that hell is very little preached, and yet it should be preached. Because in the first place hell exists. . We see men grow- ing worse and worse up to their dying day. " We see thelr character becoming absolutely fixed in evil and impenitence. Often they seem unconscious of it, but we can see their punishment gathering slow- ly. but surely, around them, even in their life. We have no grounds in reason or revelation for expecting any change to be forced upon them in another lfe. In the second place, hell should be preached because millions - are going there. The world is fearfully wicked and no one can look over it with the thought eter- nity in his heart and not trembie to view the enormous mass of misery speed- ing to its doom. In the third place, hell should be preached because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom! The love of God is the end of wisdom! Fear must come first. love of God is often so weak is hecause it is not firmly founded upon respect for His authority and awe at His Majes- tic power. Sinners must be made to feel the terrors of the law, before they will appreciate the graces of the gospel. In the fourth place, even Christians need to be reminded of the peril of hell ‘We need to see the pit whence we were dug. We need to put more spirit into our daily prayer, “Deliver us from evil.” Again, men will honor a preacher that deals with such a strong theme. Men long for virile preaching, preaching that has to do frankly and forcefully with eternal truths, and not with surface re- flections of them on our current. his- tory. Dr. Cuyler once sald: “These are times for the utterances of God's truth. Are we of the Christian minifiry wholy guiltless in regard to widespread col- lapses of character? Have we lived up to the Bible standard? Have we preach- ed Sinai as well as Calvary? Let us not forget that God speaks from both mountains. Has there not been too much rose water preachipg abont God's love, and developing the manhood within us, and an easy, velvet-footed religion which ignores the sinfulness of sin, and the cer- tainty of hell. This is no time for let- ting down bars, either in Caristian doc- trine or practice. From that dust of humiliation and sorrow in which many fallen ones are lIving, comes a solemn voice of admonition to every preacher. Let that minister of Christ who thinketh that he standeth on the sure rack of divine truth take heed lest he fal into compromise with error, or concealment of God's just threatenings, or into conmiv- ance with soul-ensnaring sins. of The reason why the church's : goes to open the door: “Who is there?” No answer, but a violent shaking of .the door. “Who is there?” “Please open.” There is the ereak of the key and a stern voice inquires “Mrs. N.7" “Yes” “Is Mr. N. in?" “Yes.

T ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERIOAN HISTORY ONLY PRESIDENT WED IN WHITE 1 \ Of the twenty-seven president nl-uu' United States Grover Cleveland was the only one who went to Washington a bacheior and took a wife while living there, the marriage ceremony being per- formed in the Blue room on June 2, 1886. The bride was Frances Folsom, of Buf- falo, N. Y. The wedding was a brilliant affair and the interest of the whole world was awakened in the event An account of th wedding noted that: !} “The fair young bride entered like a morning sunbeam into the stateiy man- sion which she was to ruie as the ‘First Lady’ of the land. In the evening. amid a shower of rice and old slippers, she lilcanar iy left it as the president's wife, and the coupie sped away to Deer Park 4 the | Allegheny mountain: followed L th “earty felicitations of .060,000 Ameri- 1¢ and the rulers of nearly every coun- on the globe. ilie wedding ceremony was performed v the Rev, Byron Sunderland. It was sami-private, but was followed by a pub- lic reception. The flower decorations were said to he the most eiaborate ever zeen in the White ouse up to that time. The Marine Band struck up the Mendel- ssohn Wedding March at 7 o'ciock, at the same hour the first gun of a national sa- lut boomed from the arsenal and every church bell and- whistle in the capital added ot the din. The ceremony was preceded by a wed- ding breakfast and an informal lunchon. ‘The bride was glad to be enterlained by the party, as the rush of public business kept the president busy. An informal supper for The guests was served at the reception and at an early hour the bridal pair slipped through the private Red room entrance to a Tarriage and off on their honeymoon An eyewitness rciates that “the silver chandelir overhead and the ecrystal scones on the walls at the sides of the two great gilt-bordered mirrors, brilliant- ly illuminated the scene as the president, with his bride Jeaning on his left arm. advanced to the center of the room, Not far {rone the bride’s left stood Mrs. Fol- gom( the bride's moi®er, and bock of her were grouped the secretaries, and close to the president’s right were Col. and Mrs Lamont. the president’s secretary. After the marriage rites were performed the Rev. W. N.

S BURL S LR s M S B A AFHLERE o0 5 READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921 Many people think that giggling is the sign of volatility. It isn't.f As nas been explained, it is the sign of an unusually active grain and a high-strung tempera- ment. The true sign of volatility lies in the distance between the eye and the brow. Young ladles who insist on transforms ing their eyebrows into those thin sharp lines should be careful to pluck the hairs from the top rather than the bottom of the eyebrow, so as to make its location soom as close to the eye as possible, for it's the distance from, not the closeness which denotes volatility of temperament. Incidentally, volatility does not mend inability to think, but a lack of ten- dency toward thoughtfulmess. It's tendency to a habit more than an inabl ity. This is an important thing to”re- member when facing a person who has such evebrows, for there is always the possibility, if not the prodability, that the person has realized and corrected this habit. - r 1f the high eyebrows are arched it de- notes a nartistic nad impractical tempr- ament coupled with the foregoing charse- N ve 1A h noble minds and hearts?

Do maintains h about 116 square miles and,.in 1811, had a population of four and a half million. Only the ‘Greater London’ figures are carried in dispatches, but at the rate of growth they indicate, London proper still is under the five million mark. “The ‘Greater London’ which has nearly seven and a half million has an existence as a metropolitan and police umit. It is municipal London plus the so-called ‘Outer Ring.” The 7,476,168 people of ‘Greater London’ are distributed over 693 square miles, an area six times tbat of municipal Lon- don, and more than twice that of municipal New York. “In passing it should be moted that Dot only is there a distinction between ‘Greater Lon<on' and plain ‘London,’ but that the ity of London’ is ‘some- thing yet again.’ The ‘City of London’ covers only 675 acres and has a resi- dent population of fewer than 25,000. The day population, however, exceeds 300.000. The °‘Cit¥ of London’ is the London of history, with its asast gov- ernment forms, including its lord- mayor which is installed agnually with a time honored eeremony known as the lord-mayor’s show. “New York of today is dn agglomer- ation of towns. All have been am- algamated with the original New York, comprised in what now is the borough of Manhattan, or the county of New York.:*The New York which includes the horoughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Richmond, is 2 municipal unit with an area of 326 square miles and a population of 3,- 620,048, “The ‘Greater London’ includes all the ‘suburbs within a2 radius of 15 miles Charing Cross. By this definition New York also should in- clude Jersey City, Hoboken and Bay- onne. across the Hudson, and Yonkers, Mt. Vernon and New Rochelle to the ppose New York were to add to its present area the aggergate 3 miles of Hudson, Essex and Union counties in New Jersey. It still would be a hundred square miles smaller than seven miliion ms it then to ’ County ¢ k in population. Were tions of Westchester the Bronx) and of Nassau ton Long Island) it would pass i.adon’s population well within a like area “Summing up, then, municipal New York is larger than municipal Lon- don. A mythical ‘Greater New York" extending as far into its envirn as does ‘Greater London" would be larger than ‘Greater London.' Aside from munici- pal definition New York and the terri- tory about it constitutes a greater popuiation center than London. = “Within fifty miles of City Hail, New York, ‘there now live more than nine miilion people, and within a hundred mile radius lives one-ninth the entire population of the United -States.” i R e pee Dactee 5 ‘Worse Than Overeating is Failare to Eliminate Waste. !
