Dear Bpotiiek.s and Sistehs Today I have been taking a retrospective glance down the pages of history, and noting the grogres madu in ecience and art, the evo- t lut ion of thought, during the past few centuries, that bring this, the nineteenth, Lrce to face with mighty f-igns, I can but exclaim, () the wonderful progress of tho world! And that mcf.ns. man's advancement toward truth and n higher life. For, ever with civilization nu 1 its attendant development man is ever pushing onward 1 and upward wherein his environments i ever keep pace. j Life grows grander, end fuller, and ! deeper iu it f lL'nificauce as u.an finds, or j realize., hii r ghtful dominion over all tho j cartl), as he is now doin in a great nifas- j uro by Ina wondrous demonstration of power over all the, cs yet known, forces cf nnture. So;ue of ycu may remember when tho "tallow- lip'' porved to illuminate the rude cabin or rottuze. Hut the cry went forth, "more light!" and mother earth gonerousiy poured forth petroleum to satisfy for a time tho demand. Lut Foon acain the cry re-echoed, "light, more lii?ht!"and from the deepest reccH.-esof earth were extricated that from which a more perfect light was produced, and gaa met the demand. Lut was mr.n satisfied? No. Again came tha cry that was answered by electricity, giving almost the radiance of noonday at midnight. And o we might mention transportation and communication which unites the world in doner relations day by day. From the ox cart and slow sailing ships to the now olrnt living palnces on wheels, an i the swift tailing hotels on tho ocean, wo travel tho worid round. And from the tedious communication by mail carried on horseback, has come the ewiftne by telegraphy and telephone and man converse" from north to onth and east to west rdinoBt a if face to face. Lut is he eat foiled? No, ti:l the cry goes forth, more lijlit, nwi.'ter transportation and more direct communication, more of perfection in all thin. And it wid bo answered, fr.r "every demand has its supply." Kvery dexir is a prophecy of its fulfillment. As perfection is reached in lhuueof material forces, aud they no longer satisfy, man is urgd to explore the realm of mind for power; man' need and Btitfer:rig prunes him into h'gher conditions, arousing him to action seeking and finding. Yet all the way along, "in every r.ro, as man arrives at some wonderful discovery, and the people no longer doubt and criticise its actuality, tho cry has gone forth, "lleJio'.d thy ultimatum, thy ail of truth!" And theworM, vain in its wis lorn, settles down to the belief that tmrely nothing superior can be found. Lut tho wheels of progress r.re ever onrolling and won lern to the human mind will never cea.-o. for truth is infinite, und the human attitude toward it must of necessity be progressive. And man's 1rogres and freedom is proportionate to da no arch for truth and receptivity to it. Truth means that which is, and as man learns of that which ia he is freed from bondairo and limitation. Pondering dteuly of tneso things tho soul thrills with joy at the thought of the blessing and privileges we enjoy, yt tinged ith sadness when wo contemplate the fnct that thy all ca:ne to us through tribulation. That ihone who gave thotn birth were greatly persecuted, scorned and ridiculed br tho world. Awed known author aays: "It is a lamentable fact that a thought, other than those covered over with the moss cf ag?, or the dfoeovery of an hitherto Mddea force in nature mut, betöre it is accepted, yto through the fires of persecution, and nduru the supers of ignorance and bullet ings of bigots." it malus a mjiterj why tho in aas of

humanity are so tenaciously unwilling at first to accept the very thing they are in search of, i. e., something to better their condition. Thus it has ever been. Noting even from the days of Jtsua new teaching on earth down to the present day every step has been made in the face of opposition, and many a step left its imprint in blood and life sacrificed for truth's sake. We have only to glance back a few centuries to evince this fact. Think of Lruno, the Italian philosopher of the sixteenth century, who, after being imprisoned for eeven years, degraded and excommunicated, was finally burned to the atake for announcing that which today is admitted as truth. And Galileo in the seventeenth century, after inventing his telescope and discovering other planets ana tho rotary motion of the earth, was arraigned as a heretic and sentence pronounced that he abjure all his errors, be impri?oned and recite once a week for three years the seven penitential psalms. And kneeling, clad in sack-cloth, ho swore upon the bible never again to teach the earth's motion and sun's stability. Yet in rising he whispered to himself: "It does move for all that." And, notwithstanding the insults and contempt of the wise( ?) professors of that day, this wave of truth rolled on to bless us. Thtn, Luther, Calvin, Wesley and all religious reformers were and are variously persecuted for their advanced thought ere it is accepted. Also the now wurlJ-wide praised discoverers and inventors, as Newton, Fulton, Franklin and Edison, were at one. time called cranks and fools for adhering to their conviction cf truth, which ultimately blessed mankind. While physical torture is no longer inflicted, many are today made to endura mental pniu aud soul amufoh, because they dare to adhere to their highrst conviction of truth ere it has dawned upon the perception of the mass of humanity as such who are ever slow to accept new idc?s. Hut we thanU God that prejudice and "man's inhuumrd'y to man" grows less and iess. as the licht of truth grows brighter and love becomes enthroned in the fiearrs of a'.l to recognize the brotherhood of humanity. Hear some of the last words of Victor Hugo: "For 400 years tho human race has not made a step but what has left its plain vestige beh:nd. We enter now upon great centuries. The sixteenth century will be known as the age of painters, the seventeenth wiil be termed the ago of writers, the eighteenth the age of philosophers, the nineteenth the age of apostles and prophets. To satisfy the nineteenth century it is neceesary to be the painter of th sixteenth, the writer of the seventeenth, the pidlosopher of the eighteenth, and it is also necessary, like Louis Blanc, to have the innate and holy love of humanity which constitutes an apostate and opens up a pronhetic vista into the future. In the twentieth war will be dead, the. scafiold wiil be dead, animosity will be dead, royalty will be dead and dogmas will bo dead, but man will live. For ad there will be but one country that couutry the whole earth ; for all there will be but (no hope that hope the whole heaven." Wiiil this prophecy seems too good to be realized, yet those who have prayed for the coming of God's kingdom on earth oiu'ht to expect its fulfillment. In conclusion, would call the attention of our invalids to the article on the ei.dith paze of The Sentinel of tho 13th inst. : "Power of the Mmd," which an a present manner of healing may be new to some. atd appear merely as an advertisement. But the science of healing by mind is not confined to one locality, or etate, or even the United States, and its demonstrates are prol-nbly numbered by the thousands, including some of tha most brilliant minds of the age. Noting thnt in all tiniss and in all nges of history healing of tha sick Without the useof medicine has been demonstrated, and morn especially by th greatest teacher of all i:ges Jesus Christ, and that now after a more careful search and experience of some of our most profound thinker for mor than twenty years, thia is announced as a science, governed by its laws, I have neither riht nor inclination to dispute it. Why should wo repeat tiie error and folly of the past? l'erhaps there has never been a cry of the human heart so strong as that for health and it must be answered. Yet for years with the increase of physicians and medicines, diseases and their fatality have also increased until the climax seems almost reached, and it is hoped that tho tide is turning, perhaps slowly, but surely, when man will find a complete modus operandi for the relief of suffering humanity. "Maud Maple." OLD CUSTOMS RECALLED.

How th Anolnln Iturixl and Mourned for Their Donil. Dear Friends Awaiting your decision regarding my moral fitness to again mingle or not mingle with you as a lover of true reform, and a member of your band, I will say a few words on a subject which, not wholly neglected, seems yet to stand sadly in need of necessary care and attention. Tho subject I desire to touch upon is that of funeral ceremonies and mourning for the dead. Amomrstthe ancients tho prevailing idea with respect to what constituted the soul was of course very dii.'crent to what it is with us. The Jews, as contra-distinguished trom the Lomnns and Greeks, believed in the immortality of what they considered the spiritual part of man, and this" ii. ay partly account for tho custom etrilcingly manifested among them of embalming the body; while on the other hand tho pagan nations meantime considered buri.il tho most important part in tho ceremony, they thought that the soul of tho uninterre l was not admitted into the abode of the dead. Since the Jews believo death to be an expiatory act, they are said to ariso upon hearing of the death of a Jew and eay, ''Iiles-od urt thou, Ü Lord, king of the universe, who art tho true judge," but tho eiht of the funeral of a Gcnti'o talis forth, "May tho memory of tho wicked perish." Tho Jews also bavo a species of purgatory in their faith, and among the l'olish Jews a doctrine of transmigration to a certain extent is said to assort that the soul is permitted to animate three human beint's in severally, ere its final oal is reached, however this Is drifting. We read that with the Jews, like with the Greuks and Itomins, the body was also sometimes burnt, though this was not a usual method. ' In cases of the more strict way of embalming for the Jews had two ways tbo corpse was generally kept io ointment for seventy days. After which it was washed and wrapped in fine linen prepared with gum. Each family generally ownud a separate piece ol grour. J a vault hewn out of solid rock, to tho r outh of which a large stone was rolled after the body had been deposited. Wealthy people often had the tntrauces of thee vautta aJurncd with iins CJirvini

and paintings, a practice to which the Savior alluded when He spoke of "painted eenulchcre" which within were "full of corruption" as a lit embiem of the hypocritical Pharisees. In mourning the people were wont to pierce their own bodies, shave their heads, go with the head bare and refuse to wear 6andles er shoes, while they tore their clothing, put sack cloth on their loins, dust and abcs on their heads and covered their lips. To this they added doleful music and singing with gesticulation to lend still greater effect to the notes and to shroud the whole in the mysterious, awful and terrible that stir tha cords of anguish and suffering. With the Romans the corpse was laid on a couch near tho door with the feet outward and a branch of cypress was placed in front of the house. The body was usually kept eeven or eight days; previous to this it had been bathed, annotated and perfumed; dressed in the deceased's best robe, received a crown if entitled to one, and had a small coin placed in its mouth to pay the ferryman Charon to take it across the dark river Styx. When the funeral occurred there was always a erand display of pomp and ceremony. The procession contained women players and buffoons, who dance, Eine, and done everything which could add importance and attraction to the occasion. To such a pitch was this empty and vain formality carried that finally we read of gladiators fighting at funerals. l'luto ia said to have instructed the Greeks in the secret of performing the last office to the dead. With them funeral rites were regarded as most sacred duties. Like the Romans, they believed that tho souls of the unburied would not. be admitted to the "Elysian Fields." The greatest imprecation wr.s to wish, that a person might not be afforded the honor ot interment Fublic and private enemies, people guilty of sacrilege, those who botrayed their country and those killed by lightning, were denied funeral rites. Of euch importance were funeral ceremonies considered that those who did not discharge them were thought to be accursed. ick. people often had alcck of their hair cut off, which the consecrated to tho infernal gods as the, relatives stood around to take their Inst farewell before they received the dying requests and. inhaled the last breath ere the victim expired, when the relatives beat the air with violence to drive a'.vay the evil genii which would otherwise take the eoul to hell. These are a few customs of three nations, distinguished for their learning in the days of antiquity. But in a comparative senso what wk3 or is their general enlightenment when set up beside our own? It is liko comparing monkey with man. Wo have lonz &zo denounced their government as imperfect, inconsistent and tyrannical, their religion as ido.ttry and superstition, their treatment of women as barbarious and their practice of infauticide in cases where children are born weak or crippled as inhuman, brutal aud uncodly. Then isn't it time that we 6hould cast o:T the clannish thraldom of mimicking in a larco degree, at least, their vain, glorious thirst for pomp and display in funeral ceremony? Yes, "Evening Star," I am on the windowsill. The draught, however dangerous it it ay be is, notwithstanding, very i:greeable, only I fear that some oue muht bo mischievous enough to want to close the window before I can get in.

A few weeks ago I decided to surrrise "Grandma Love," who lives about ten miles from here. I had learned, through a member of the ciub some time before, of her living so cloee to mo. I (.upposed "Wyandot Dewdrop" was my nearest neighbor. As near as I can tell "W. D." lives about twenty-live or thirty miles from the home of the writer. I was somewhat eurpmed to learn that "G. L." lived so near, for I had been in and through tho town where fho lives, and past her home many a time, and always wore my badge conspicuously. Strange that we never ruet, ia it not? As I said before. I had determined to surprise "G. L.: The roads scarcely being fit for traveling in a buggy I started out ono morning on foot, and in about threo hours I was at tho homo of "Grandma Love." My knock upon the door was answered by "G. L." in person, although I did not know it at the time. Being invited to "come iu" and "take a chair" I did so, and after a few minutes conversation I made myself known, much to tho surprise of "G. L." Wo talked upon various subjects, looked at shadows, autographs, etc., and spent several hours very agreeably together. While there I had the pleasure of seeing the photos of our former president. "Howard," his sister "Maud Maple," "Aazel Bush," and "Aunt Sue." They were the first H. L. C. photos ever saw, and "G. I" is the first II. L. C. member that I ever had the pleasure of meeting. "Grandma Love" has a beautiful home in a nice litt'e town. A niece of hers is living w ith her, her father and mother have both died within the last year. .

soon came, and after bidding them adieu I wended my way homew ard, which placo I reached in safety. I wish to say a few words in reference to a badge. I think every member desires a badge. I do at least. I have an old badge, but I have never considered it entirely appropriate, there being only the letters "II. C." upoa it, and the pin being so long makes it somewhat unhandy. Yes, let us have a badge by all means, something different from that of any other organization and of as beautiful a design as possible, one that is strong and durable and that will also hold its color. Tho constitution ehould be printed in pamphlet or book form, and each member have a copy. There is another thing I wish to speak about, and that is stationery, such as letter paper and envelopes. 1 think the club would derive much benefit therefrom. Members in writing to relatives or acquaintances, who are not members, by using the club paper and envelopes, might thereby induce others to join the club, or become interested, and sooner or later join the club and be valuable additions to the club. I would be willing to buy all my letter paper and envelopes from the club, if it is decided to have club stationery, and I think all the members would be willing to do the same. I am confident it would do the club a vast amount of good. I hope the executive committee will act favorably upon these questions. If there are any members who wish to exchange autograph cards with B. E. C, send your auto and address to C. M. B., Box 2 Iberia, 0., and it will reach me. 1 will repl)' with auto by return mail. Are there are any members living in Cedar county, Iowa? If so, let them speak out as I wish to know. "Wyandot Dewdrop" how far do you live from Upper Sandusky and in what direction ? "Hazel Bush" could we not arrange it in some way to meet at "Grandma Love's" home? I understand vou and "G. L." visit each other. I believe your name has not appeared on the page for a long time, has it? "Grandma Love" what is the matter, is Dobbin pick that you cannot visit the II. L. C. ? There are quite a number who liko myself have been sitting in a back seat and listening to what the others had to say. Come to the front, please. I notice that several old-time members have returned to the club. I welcome you back to the fold. To all new members I extend the had of friendship and welcome you to our ranks. Here is a cooky recipe for "Incog." or anyone that may wish to try it: Two cups of granulated sugar, thres eggs, one cup of butter tnd lard, one cup of ur cream, one teaspoonfull of soda, season to taste and mix soft.

'rrtzle" ThinUa Ibat We Cannot Get to tlie Tup In One Step. Dear Howard Friends As I have lately joined" tho club I thought I would again try to do my part for the p'ige. I think tho fifth page the most interesting of all The Sentinel and always read it first. I am always glad to see it full of interesting letters, as, indeed, it has be.-n lately. The motto of the II. L. C. is high and ennobling and its purposes aro of the best, fo w hy ehould it not prosper? It can and will prosper if all do their part. As for Ejvsel f I feel that I am but a verv dim Ktar ehming among many moro brilliant ones, but I have long since learned that ono cannot reach the top of the ladder in one step, but must climb little by little, acquiring more knowledge day by day until the topmost round is reached. Many Btart in hie thinking that if they do not iearn everything in a day they cannot learn at all, and, as a certain consequence, they give it up, believinu that they cannot learn and that it is no use to try. So if the young, r members lind it a littlw hard at first do not give ur, but try, try again, for by that way, and that way only, is success in life obtained. One needs the quality of never give up to master learning and ;TLt an education, although, of courso, there are many persons to whom it is very easv because they have natural talent. But there are many more Mho have not, aud who obtain their talent bv hard toil and their own exertions. X think that a household pr.ge like tho ILL. C. is ono of the very best w ays to encourage a feeling to want to learn and become pop'ilar. And I airre with "Peach Bloabom" in thinking that this club and its excellent letters aro doing much cood wherever they are read. At least let us hopo HO. "Inez," my initials aroFJ. P.,now pleaso teil i.ie what yours are, and 1 hope to see your return often to the pago.
