This is nothing unusual. 1 often go to church and it usually does me no harm. It is true a man takes his life in his hand, so to speak, when he enters a tabernacle in win ter weather, but it is one's duty to go. You sit by the open window and absorb the winter atmosphere that frolics around you and in wardly envy the congregation near the stove. Chilled by the icy breath, you ponder involuntary of a climate where heat is abundant and where even the most haughty blizzard would burn brown. There is nothing that develops more lux uriantly in the field of imagination than contrasting ideas. In sum mer you long for the bracing winter winds and as you sit by the window in the sanctuary and get the brac ing winds you have longed for fan tastic pictures of a hotter clime neutralize the effects of the sermon.

Janitors will have much to ans wer for in the Sweet Bye-and-Bye. It is easier for a needle to go through a camel's eye than it is for a janitor to stop an air-hole. The deadly determination of the average janitor to admit the sin tossed Blizzard into the society of church-going people may be the correct thing, but it is hard on the circulation. Yet if there is any way to bring about a radical change in the life of a Nebraska Blizzard, let it be done. The conversion of a Blizzard, utterly given to worldli ness. into a gentle disciple of at mospheric peace is a consummation devoutly to be wished. I am will ing to suffer the pangs of neuralgia that are now drilling me full of holes if by it I can bring one Bliz zard to repentance. I am not a bad man naturally and when a Blizzard smites me on one cheek I turn the other also. It is the best way to act under the provocation and gives the first cheek time to recover from the blow. It is not wise to strike a Blizzard, anyhow, and it is equal ly unwise to admit a full-grown one into a moral atmosphere. I am thoroughly convinced that the only way to do a Blizzard any good is to take him as a child when he of Nebraska.
