BOUNDLESS REALM OF THE MIND.
*
Arthur Twining Hadley, president emeritus of
Yale, recently discussed educational practices, as
serting with some vigor that the system in vogue in
America does not stimulate initiative in the student.
He begins his critical consideration with the kinder
garten, and carries it on through the universities,
bringing much proof to sustain his indictment.
Chiefly the failure rests on the destruction of
imagination through the application of routine work
that neglects the creative element of the mind, and
develops memory rather than the faculty to see and
conceive.
The human mind has challenged the utmost ef
forts Of scientists to classify and co-ordinate its
workings. Certain elementary reactions are sched
uled, and psychologists find support for their con
clusions in some few manifestations traceable to de
fined emotions. Yet the mind itself is superior to
law in its natural state. It possesses in the begin
ning a capacity that, for want of a better term, is
called imagination. It is best manifested in what
the psychologists term the creative form, this grad
ually developing into the rational.
What has imagination done for man? It enabled
Plato, for example, to outline a world, and to peo
ple its unexplored regions with fantastic creations
in human and bestial shape. Long before his time,
it enabled the shepherds, watching the stars by night,
to form pictures that came into the folk lore, and
eventually blossom into astronomy. It set, the
early investigators on the track of the unknown
and unknowable, and chemistry was born. Mystics
saw in groups of stars the sacred numbers of their
religion, and mathematics as a science slowly rose
from the darkness to shed its beneficent light on
the fundamental relations of numbers.
So much for the creative imagination. Its ra
tional function has produced a marvelous array of
wonders. In the first half of the Eighteenth cen
tury Herschel discovered the planet Uranus. One
hundred years later, Adams, an American astrono
mer, calculated the orbit and determined that the
planet was being disturbed by some outside influ
ence. Uranus is distant 1,780,000,000 miles from
the sun. Adams was joined in his views by a
French astronomer, who calculated the spot where
the interloper should bd on a certain date, and on
that date Neptune was added to the solar system, a
billion miles further from the sun than Uranus, yet
located within one degree of where the calculations
fixed the presence of another unknown planet.
Mendeleff, Russian chemist, eighty years ago, laid
down his periodic law of atomic weights. Certain
gaps had to be left for unknown elements, which
must be discovered to complete the law. Radium,
argon, helium, all have come to fill these gaps, to
make positive the law.
“Lo! the poor Indian, whose untutored mind sees
God in the clouds, and hears Him in the wind,” was
but following the destiny of the race. “The fool
hath said in his heart, There is no God,” but the
wise man, whose imagination is rational, knows
there is a God, because his faculty for seeing things
that are ideal leads him to the unshakeable belief in
that greatest of all ideals, the Omnipotent, Om
niscient G«d.
THE HUMAN MULTIPLICATION TABLE.
In the last 100 years the population of the world
has almost doubled. The increase amounts to
about 700,000,000 people. At no other period of
history has the race of man multiplied so fast.
The olden philosophers used to fret themselves
about the results of adding bo many persons to be
fed and housed. And yet side by side with the rise
in density has proceeded a gradual improvement in
the standard of living. While population has dou
bled, the consumption of things that go to make
Itfe bearable or enjoyable has multiplied many
times. If man had failed to learn how to utilize
the resources of nature in ways of which primitive
society had no conception, no such numbers could
be maintained.
In his new book, “If Britain Is to Live,” Nor
man Angell declares that Great Britain probably
was more overpopulated in pre-Roman times, when
the people numbered half a million, than now. That
is to say, the early Britons lived more precariously,
with more frequent failure of food, than is the
case now that the population has increased nearly
100 times. In the same way, America must have
seemed more crowded to a million Indians than with
110,000,000 persons now.
Even though this be the case, yet it is scarcely
probable that the British nation will be thrown into
alarm by the news that fewer babies wfere born last
year than 'during any other year on record. That
the infant mortality rate also reached its lowest
point is welcome news. It is by reducing the death
rate rather than by increasing the birth rate that
the world's increase has come in the last century
and will come in the future.
In late years the population of the world has
increased at the rate of doubling every sixty years.
The old philosophers were unduly concerned about
what was to happen in the present day, and so per
haps we may be mistaken in any speculation aon
cerning the future. The impossibility of main
taining throughout the coming centuries this rate is
shown by a bit of arithmetic. In 10,000 years, al
lowing one and one-half square feet of space per
person, the population would far exceed the avail
able standing room on the curth’s surface.
For all that, there Is no need for worry ovrr the
population problem. Certainly migration will not
settle it. As our numbers increase, there is, how
ever, a more pressing necessity for the full use of
natural resources and of human abilities. Living
under the conditions that prevailed among the In
dians, Americans would starvo today. Living with
the waste and friction that exists today, the people
of the coming century would find life unbearable.
Nature and the disposition of msn to accommodate
himself to circumstances may be counted upon to
meet any emergency. Future pressure of popula
tion gives not despir, but hope for progress and civ
ilisation, unless a people is willing to live aa the
Cpoliea of Asia.
SHAKESPEARE’S QUESTION ANSWERED.
.When Miss Juliet Capulet sat in the balcony in
the moonlight and mused concerning young Romeo
Montague, she delivered herself of a query that has
been puzzling the world for a long time. “What’s
in a name?”
If we look on the billboards or in the news
papers, we may conclude that there is a great deal.
A Missourian came to fame under the name of Pod
Dismukes, while Omar Madison Kem once represented
a Nebraska district in congress. But could either
of these have mounted the glorious heights of
music or movies? Richard Mansfield’s name was
good enough for him, and so was Qtis Skinner’s, but
Nellie Mitchell had to become Nellie Melba before
she could get far as a singer. Likewise, Maude Kis
kadden found it necessary to give the world the
name of Adams, and Julia Marlowe was known as
Frost when she lived as a girl in Kansas.
When Edward Johnson, the Metropolitan tenor,
was in Omaha recently he told a little story to a
group with whom he was taking lunch that os
illustrative of the point. He had just left school in
Canada and gone to New York, seeking fame. An
opportunity to join Nordica on a concert tour pre
sented itself. He made a good impression on the
great singer, ^nd she took him to Walter Damrosch,
her manager, for approval.
“I’ve found a tenor, Walter,” she reported.
“Good,” said Damrosch, “bring him in.”
“Wait, I want you to know all about him. He
is an American, and his name is Johnson.”
“Good Lord,” ejaculated Damrosch, “is he white
or black?"
And Damrosch is American by adoption, while
Nordica was born Norton in New England. John
■on went to Italy, assumed the name of Eduardo di
Giovani, and aang under that until finally he came
to join the Chicago company, where Campanini in
sisted on his assuming his own name. t
Some day it may come to pass that one who is
not ashamed of it may come to greatness on the
stage in America wearing the name given him by
his sponsors in baptism, but for the present the an
swer to Shakespeare’s inquiry is “Lots.” A name
means the difference between success and failure
on the billboards.
RECREATION FOR THE YOUNG.
In recent years there seems to be a general pes
simism regarding amusements indulged in by the
young, and apparently with good cause. Many
pleasures left for the child of today would have a
tendency to blight life rather than make it bloom
in splendor, were it not for the fact that there is a
spark of the divine in every human being; and this
spark contributes to the conscience which is often
more highly developed than in the adult.
The common criticism is that young people are
so surfeited with artificial pleasure that the old
time diversions pall on them, but it is doubtful if
these critics have taken proof of such assertions.
Children have small opportunity for cultivating a
taste for small pleasures as long as elder minds tend
to artificial diversions. This inclination is evident
in rural districts through the summer months, when
a band concert and pavement dance will attract
revelers of all ages in such crowds as to swell the
population of a country town to metropolitan num
bers one night out of every week. Yet, in the same
community, there are the more conservative ones
who bemoan the fact that the high school gym
nasium is open evenings in the winter months to
the physical director and his class for good, whole
some recreation. It is a fact to be lamented that
many parents leave their children to seek their
own diversions, while others are inclined to frown
upon any form of entertainment for the young, in
the belief that joy and happiness must be associated
with vice.
There is little danger of the normal young per
son having too much diversion, but pleasures must
bs guided by wrisdom and not left to chance. In
rural districts the dearth of amusements often cause
real suffering. Children are heirs to a joyless
world and every effort should be made to brighten
the morning of their days by good, wholesome
recreation. The home, the school and the commun
ity should keep up a united interest to this end.
THE THINGS THAT SURVIVE.
Three thousand years hence what vestiges will
remain of today’s civilization? When the royal
escort sealed up the tomb of King Futenkhamun in
the Valley of the Kings some 30 centuries ago they
little reckoned that they were leaving to the dis
covery of this modern age evidences of a great civil
ization. They put into the tomb mummified meat
and birds so that their noble lord might have food
in the next world, they left jewels to adorn his spirit
ual Jiouble, a boat for him to row on the dark waters,
and comforts and luxuries that he had found agree
able in life and which they believed would please
him in death. Who knows what treasures they
might have chosen had they been guided by reason
instead of superstition?
The wisest men of that far day could not dream
what parts of their civilization would be valued most
i by men of the ages to come. No more can we in
this modern time predict what will be curried on
j through time and adapted into the life of distant
I generations.
| The evidences of the cultured state of the an
i cient Egyptians is found in the king’s tomb—what
i has not been revealed is the method by which these
| objects were produced. The pottery is unexcelled
by cither Greek or modern practice. The texture of
| the garments is of a fineness scarcely equaled to
day. The jewels, the carvings and the vases are
dazzling. Science had developed back in those days.
Astronomers were mapping the stars and had de
vised a calendar which took into account the solar
year. It is of such matters as this that we should
lijce to learn more. No Egyptian record thus far
discovered has contained any reference to the life of
Moses. Many important things have been over
looked, perhaps because they were considered of
small moment. And when 3,000 years from now
the ruins of our cities ure searched by a new race of
explorers, It may lie that the thinga they are most
curious about will bo missing, Hnd only the trinkets
and trappings will he available for their study. The
thinga most sought will bo our ideas, which cannot
bo preserved in material form, but will perhaps per
sist, as some of the customs of the F.gyptinns per
Hist today, unknown within our daily life and habits.
Europe may not be able to produce enough to
eat, but when it comes to providing arms nnd ammu
nition—well, that's different.
The Michigan woman whose temperature sticks
around 114 degrees is winning honors for warmth,
if nothing also.
Another proof that spring is just around the
corner ia the appearance of new Ak-Sar-Ben buttons
on coat lapela.
Out of Today's
Sermons
Dr. George A. Miller, pastor
First Christ iau church, will
preach this morning on "The In
carnation." lie will say An part:
When we speak of the Incarnation
we mean God having become man,
has dwelt amongst us In the person
of Jesus Christ. Charles Kingsley
said; "The Incarnation is the central
fact of history.” It has been for ages
the fundamental doctrine of Christian
ity. In these latter days some have
doubted, but they have not brought
tlui greatest blessing to humanity.
They are not reaching those who
need most the great salvation. The
World through all ages has been ever
seeking to know God and man. This
knowledge has come only through the
human life of God In Christ. Christ
said, "He that hath seen me hath
seen tho Father," "Which one con
victeth me of sin?” Abstract princi
ples and philosophies have never
brought God within the range of hu
man life and sympathy.
No other revelation of history has
satisfied the longing of the souls of
men. The incarnation, the life of
God in Christ, and that alone, has
solved the question of God and the
soul of man. The spiritual and In
finite are incomprehensible to the
finite mind of man, but God as re
vealed in Christ has ever been a
means of satisfying the longing of
the souls of mankind. The compas
sion and love of God were manifest
in him.
He was divine, but still had our na
ture and love. If "divine metaphys
ics” or an “ethical creed” could have
saved mankind, there would have
been no need of Oethsemane and Cal
vary. Only by a personality was this
accomplished. .Today for us there is
the religion of the incarnation or no
religion. There are many moral pre
cepts, much ethical culture, but no
real religion of the soul.
In Buddhism there is a philosophy;
In Mohammedanism a monotheistic
philosophy of the universe: in ration
alism, no redemption; in Unitarianlsm,
a philosophy but no regeneration.
Atheism denies tho existence of God.
Agnosticism doubts. Polytheism has
many gods and therefore none.
The incarnation unites the human
and divine in the Christ of Bethle- j
hem. This is a religion of salvation. I
delivering us from sin; a religion of I
faith, saving us from the negations j
of unbelief; a religion of hope, dellv- :
ering us from despair; a religion of j
spirit, delivering us from the bondage ;
of the flesh; a religion of life and im- j
mortality delivering us from death j
and darkness beyond.
At Hillside Congregational
church the pastor, N. H. Han
kins, will preach this morning on
"Cleansing From Sin.” Follow
ing is a part of his sermon: •
When a man cornea homo for the
dally moal with hands Boiled and
grimy from the shop or olllce, he
usually turns gladly to a place to
clean up and wash off the dirt. How
glad he Is for soap and water, so he j
can sit down with wife and children
with hands and face clean and enjoy
the rneul and the fellowship of the
home.
llut we have a greater need of
cleansing from sin than the laboring'
man has to wash the grime from
hands and face when ho comes in
from work. How wonderful is Clod *
provision for our cleansing.
' If we confess our sins He la faith- !
ful and Just to forgive us our sins
! and to cleanse us from all unright- ;
| eousness.”
Our great need as Christians for
cleansing from sins and unrlghteous
i ness should lend us to God In humble
i confession, not to be saved, for thgt
' Is accomplished by repentance and
' faith; but now as children of God we
I need cleansing that we may enjoy
fellowship with our gracious Lord,
j And this cleansing is ours If we ars
i willing to confess our sins and un
righteousness to the Lord Jesus and
so we may be happy In the constant
. fellowship with our Lord.
In his sermon this morning I
Itev. Albert Kuhn of It.-tlmnv
I’tTubytfriin church will touch
upon the question of "Personal
liberty" as follows:
Paul was a liberal He shock cl
orthodox Jews by his frank staten»nt
that he did not believe the Almighty
I instated on circumcision; ho shocked
them hy saying that there was no
1 harm In gating meat sacrificed to
I idols; he shocked them hy declaring
l hat the strenuous Sabbath laws of
i Jewry were not binding upon the
(ienlile converts or. in fact, on any
Christians.
Yet Paul warned his equally liberal
followers that, if by Insisting upon the
.freedom from restraint, they qis
' turhod the harmony of the church or
tempted another brother to violate his
i onsclence, they should rather forego
their privileges nnd avoid thus hurt
ful provocation.
Today tho same holds true. You or
Jl may not feel the slightest compunc
tion nlsiut making n little home brew,
r visiting the pool hall, or holding
i church rattle, or attending a Sntur
day night dance downtown. Hut If
we knmv that our example will en
■ enrage fair neighbor, a former hooxe
fl-ltfcr, to take up his old habit, or
one young chap to become a shift
: less, good for nothing pool ~lmrk, or
• t tr people to acquire it taste for
| rambling, or some young go I to fre
quent questionable dancing resorts,
we refrain from the use of our liberty
leeanso of tho love we bear these
friends.
The true'motlve for national prn
hlhitlon must be our dr. p concern In
air fellow men's welfare. Not law,
j but love of our fellows, should Veep
j us sober nnd oltedlcnt to the constitu
tion. If It Is true thnt theanpen man

Gaea, Mother Gaea!
-By JOHN G. NEIHARD^
Gaea, Mother Gaea, now at last, _
Wearied with too much seeking, here I east
My soul, my heart, my body down on thee!
Dust of thy dust, canst thou not mother me?
Not as an Infant weeping do I come;
These tears'are tears of battle; like a drum
Struck by wild fighting hands my temples throb;
Sob of the breathless swordsman Is my sob.
Cry of the charging spearman is my cry!
0 Mother, not as ono who craves to die
1 fall upon thee panting. Fierce as hate,
Strong as a tiger fighting for his mate,
Soul thewed and eager for yet one more fray—
A Gaea, Mother Gaea, thus I pray!
Have I not battled well?
My sword has ripped the gloom from many a hell
To let the sweet day kiss my anguished brow!
oh, I have begged no favors until now;
Have asked no pity, though I bit the dust.
For always In my blood the battle lust
Flung awful sword songs down my days and nights.
JJUt now at last of all my golden fight*
The greatest fight is on me-and I pray.
Oh let my prayer enfold thee as the day.
Crush down upon thee as the murky night,
Hush over thee a thunder guBt, alight
With swift electric blades! Nay, let It be
As rain flung down upon the breast of thee'
With something of the old Uranian fire *
I kiss upon thee all my deep desire.
If ever in the silence round about.
Thy scarlet blossoms smote me as a shout;
If ever I have loved thee, pressed my face
Close to thy bosom In a lonesome place
And breathed thy breath with more than lover’* breathing
If ever in the spring, thy great trees, seething
With hopeful juices, felt my worship-kiss—
Grant thou the prayer that struggles out of this.
My first blood-cry for succy In a fight!
Alone I shouldered up the crushing night,
Alone I flung about mo halls of day.
Unmated w-ent I fighting on my way.
Lured on by some far-distant final good,
Unwarmed by grudging fires of bitter wood,
Feeding my hunger with my tiger heart.
Mother of things that yearn and grow, thou art!
The Titan brood sucked battle from thy paps!
O Mother mine, sweet-breasted with warm saps.
Once more Antaeus touches thee for strength!
My victories assail me! Oh at length
My lawless isolation dies away!
For Mother, (riving Mother, like the day
Flung down from midnight, she who wan to be
Floods ail the brooding thunder-glooms of me!
And in the noon-glow that her face hath wrought.
Stands forth the one great foe I have not fought—
The close-ranked cohorts of my selfish heart.
Buckler of virile fighting things thou art!
Breathe id me something of the tireless sea
The urge of mighty rivers breathe 1n me!
cloak me with purple like thy haughty peaks
Oh arm me as a wind-flung cloud that wreaks
HelT-furies down the midnight hattle-murk!
Fit me to do this utmost warrior's work—
To face myself and conquer!
Mother dear.
Thou seemest a woman In this silence here;
And ’tis thy daughter who hath come to me
With all the wLee, sad mother-heart of thee,
Thy luring wronder and Immensity!
For In her face strong sweet earth passions brood
T feel them as in some wild solitude
The love sweet panting summer's yearning pain
Teach me the passion of the wooing rain!
Teach me to fold her like a summer day—
To kiss her !n the great good giant way.
As Franus amid the cosmic dawn!
Oh. all the mad spring ravelling is gone.
And now—the wise sweet summer! Let me be
Peep rooted in thy goodness ns n tree.
Strong in the storms with skvward blossomings!
Teach me the virile trust of growing things.
The w*!sdom of slow fruiting In the sun!
I would be Joyous ns the winds that run
Tight footed on the wheat fields. Oh for her,
T would be gentle ns the winds that stir
The forest In the noon hush. T.lft me up!
Fill all my soul with kindness as a cup
With cool and bubbling waters! Mother dear,
Oaea, great Gaea, 'tis thy son—Oh hear!

COLDS—CHIROPRACTIC—PNEUMONIA
I have never known a cold
to develop into pneumonia
while under adjustment.
A cold is usually broken
following: the first adjust
ment. Subsequent adjust
ments clear up the cold
symptoms.
Penumonia will respond
to adjustments in the ma
jority of cases and seldom
more than several adjustments are necessary to
break the fever.
Chiropractic adjustments are the best prophylactic
against colds and pneumonia known today.
