He alluded in the 'beginning to the far-reaching and all embracing matter included in that little word psychology! its -iJbreadtb and its scope and the herculean task it would therefore be to prepare an intelligent article for the brief time necessarily alio ted him. The term psychology had been for a long time misunderstood," as had the X-Rays and a thousand other hings. Defined as the science of tne soui, psychology is a misnom 1 er, he said. It is rather the science of the mind, and the mind is de fined as the sum total of the phenomena arising from the myriad of gray, cells of the nervous system. It is estimated that in the human brain there is a number of these little gray cells which equals from ten.

to twenty times the pop ulation of the United States. He traced the phenomena of life as it begins at the birth of a new born, babe and its growth and de velopment showing just what is the origin of the word psychology, and later, -where end how the takes place, Classifying brain functions and or "tne special sense -v it mechanisms with which we gather experiences or sensations which remHrnlyBurce or means oi mental growth; and development and enable us to place ourselves in the proper reta rtion tobur environment, that is, tpjive, he said it is therefore cer tainly worthy of our best efforts to have the proper amount of knowledge, or in other words, if life is wortn living at all it is worth, living well. By means of a chart, he made quite clear tho theory of Grasset and others as to the relation of tho nerves of sensation (or feeling) seeing, hearing; with whal It ne cauoa tne-f superior or mam "psych isni," and showed how hypnotism takes placo, and by means of very interesting illustra tions in the experience of known cases, explained many remarkable facts, and mentioned also the differing and conflicting theories held by scientists, and the little that is yet known, The doctor was warmly thanked for his very instructive' address, and music closed the program the afternoon. Among thoso present not mem bers of the club were Mrs. Davis, Mrs, Dwight Dalbey, Mrs Dill, Mrs.

A. Myers of Alma, who recently asked the state railway commission why newspapers should revive special telegraph rates.has again asked his question, the commission replying the first time that therewcre statutes spe- cifically allowing the, low rates. Mr. Myers isn Ane 6w railway commission win probably do nothing in regard to the complaint, however, on ac count of the statutes providing for the lower rates, the commissioners generally holding that a body created by the legislature cannot change the mandates of the legis lature. Most of the commission justify the rates on the grounds of public policy.

Mr. Myers "denies that he is a corporation lawyer or that he suffered from the reduction of telephone rates which he first cited as a case similar, to that, of ie telegraph wmpanie sand news- papers.

Another great audience greeted the evangelists at the Chrisiian church night. An- intensely ntcrested feeling prevailed in all parts of the audience, and the responses in song and reading were if anything; more fervent than at any previous service. More than a score were baptized at the open ing of the, service. During this ceremony Dr. Sco ill gave a run ning comment on the subject of baptism, quoting verse after verse where this sacred ordinance is mentioned.

The bible reading was. on the subject of the HolySpirit and was introduced with suitable comment by Mr. Ullom. The reading was followed by the beautiful solo Would You Believe sung by MrrVan Camp. 1 preached another splendid chart sermon on "The Redemption of Man." The text was from Daniel 5 :27.

Tekel. The scene is taken from Belshazzar's feast in which the hand was seen writing on the After the French revolution when infidelity was rife, a society was formed in an eastern state in mockery of Christianity." One night they met and baptized a cat, gave bread jn mockery of the communion to a dog and performed other blasphemous things. Before morning six died, and within five years thirty-six of the number died unnatural or violent deaths. ZAt-Belshaizar's cere danced to the music of many instruments, If your brains are in your neels instead oi your heads, that is the end to educate. The Salvation Army and the other workers in slums find that of the 350,000 fallen 75 per cent begin theirrdownfall on the ing floor.

It seems to me that the biggest fool is the one who pays the fiddler for the dance where some fellow has his arm around the fool's wife in the dance, I Belshazza? was drunk when he ordered the servants to bring the golden vessels that had been captured from tie temple at Jerusa lem. What does a drunken man care for the temple or for God. When goes ou ma: TXm't hand scrriwteto your neighbor I am preaching to your husband's wife or to-yourr wife's husband, to the fellow that is sit- home to yourself and don't try to pass it off to someone else, The woman takes the husband's name at the marriage altar, not be fore; so there is a definite place where we take orC Christ's name. We cannot do less than all that the gospel demands of us-and satisfy the You can't afford to put it off; it is as easy to obey Christ in Beatrice as it is in little country town. Jesus says, enly I say unto you, except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

He who rejects Jesus is weighed in the balances and found wanting.
