The Russia?: military critics are eatistied that, whereas Field Marshal von Hinden- burg has succeeded in commencing a. partial offensive, the Russian army is successfully accomplishing its purpose of preventing a further diversion of Austro -German troops to the Rou- manian front, which they aveume to be of the greatest importanee.

CONSCIOUSNESS. ' Am 1 in being; do I desire my welt. being? This brings me to ask, What is consciousness? it is knowledge of wbat passes in oue'e own mind; it is hnmetliate knowledge of facts, the power of knowing one's Oevn thought. I am aware, I perceive, 1 know. Human consciousness is a most astounding fact. Yesterday I was not, neenorrow I shall not be. In the brief interval of earthly life I have become aware of myself. The past, the present, the taupe have become part of my own pereonal consciousneee. I, who eo re- cently came upon the scene, sit in judgment upon all I see or bear or fedl. or know. This is a marvel. I know that I enjoy the azystery of sub- stantial freedom. flow does this man venous consciousness become, and will it end? Then we are asked to consider the doetrine of sub -consciousness, "Sub" means under, large, undefinable, un - surveyable; it means a lumber -room, which you seldom enter, and even then you don't bring much away. It le the main hatchway which leads to the hold of the ship which carries the cargo of bite. Very little of this is brought up during the voyage. Deep deep falleth upott man, and then what marvels of memory. rhis leads us to thedoctrine of euper-consciousness. Here we find the eternal sea, with no shore. This is the great, una erse, el which We are to kriow something in tho• future. This universe is high and intlnite, and nominates all things, beings, powers and prince politics, Here is the path to aestiny, reward, find crowning glory, How did 1 get Iny consciousness? From what high Beene is man's consciousness sus - tined? Bergson affirms that cote scious lite on the globe can be ac- counted for only my assuming a grand enpenconselousness, over and above, and at the heart of the nniverse. This is none other than the Lord God Almighty. He is the Father of human spirits, and in Him. we live and move, and have our being, The grand con- eluelon leaves the spirit of man in vital tottch with the Spirit of Gcd-in an eternal relationship set in tlie midst of an infinite universe. Am I in touch and in tune with the Infinite? There is much to discourage and pull down in this life; but, let future smile or frown, let people be ,hard, and tines bad, yet may I stand ereet, and tap the vital energy, put myself th contact with this over -spirit, and lesser spirits, and neither fire, nor Booth nor disease, nor poverty, nor war, tan block up my way, cot me off from vital intercourse, with the fouh- lain of life and healing.
