A year or trio ago it was dLscevere'd
that a,inle of the finest old cathedrals
and public buildings In England were
being ruined by the coal smoke which
carne 'from the chimneys of factories
whieh in the course of swift Industrial
progress had crowded too cktaoly upon
Tent. Carvings were found to be so
badly disintegrated in some taus thut
restoration was hopeless, and in ntany
other cases the injury was far advanc-
ed The surface of the stone would
ci un►ble away at a touch or blow off
as duet when a strong wind hit it. One
chisel, of the discovery was to give In -
Creased impetus to the anti -smoke move-
ment, and another was to cause a swift
k;earelt for immediate mentis of protec-
tin. It was suggested that the build -
lug. endangered might be covered with
a veneer of impermeable or protective
Wax. but so far us is known that sug-
gestion has not yet been acted on. An-
other plan has, however, already been
l(,Il,wed. It is found that by washing
Crunlbliug limestone with a solution .f
',mole a hard surface will be formed.
oud the chapter house at Westminster
bas already been given at least tem -
priory protection in This way.
The theory is that the sulphur given off
with the gases from coal smoke is
leken up by ruin water and becomes
a WORK solution of sulphurous and sul-
phuric acids. This converts 11w lime-
isluue into gypsum or sulphate of lithe.
Are it is estimated that half a million
Ions of sulphuric acid are emitted an-
omaly in London alone, 1t is evident
that the evil is no small one. The
solution of baryta, however, forms with
The gypsum an insoluble sulphate (1
barium, at the same time liberating
lime, which sooner or later becomes
converted into carbonate by absorbing
the carbonic acid gas of the air.
So Murch for smoke and the buildings.
There remains the question of srnoke
and the lungs. The sulphur oomplunds
dc, the lungs just as much harm as they
it(' the buildings. Until some ono can
suggest a wax with which to coal the
lungs. or a solution of something or
otter with which to was!) thein, it :s
clear Ihnt the anti -smoke campaign
everywhere should be at the very front
among topics of pressing civic interest.

Right Thoughts Are Vital to the
Welfare of Man
')'hunk of these things. Philippians

tVhat things? Things that are true,
tonett, just, pure, lovely, attractive,
virtuous, honorable. Upon these things
says Paul. "Let your thoughts dwell.'
Thoughts are things as nitwit as brick
walls and paved streets are. 'There
is such a thing as insanitary thinking
as surely as there is such a thing as
insanitary plumbing. There Ls a men-
tal ati0o.phere ooidueiwe to health as

To select a spiritual dwelling place
where Itie utnmxmphere is heavy with
(site and poisonous with passion; 10
lull up the shutters of despair and ex-
cludo the sunshu'e of hope; to close
the windows of the heart and exclude
Ilse light of faith and the warmth of

build one's house in a stagnant marsh
or to live in a dark, unventilated cellar.
Notice that Paul writes as it Olen had
lite power to select their own intellectu-
al dweltingaplaces. So Ihey have. Phy-
sically most men must dwell where cir-
cunsstance, ordain. But the poorest
Mian may have a dwelling place for his

to reside, in an atmosphere of the soul
FILLED \VII'I1 UNCLE.eN ODORS.
Every man has within himself the
power to change his menial dwelling
place. Tho normal man has power to
direct his thoughts as he has power to
direct his hand. By the exercise of suet'
power he may win success, character
and righteousness.
The mind is master of the body. Ex-
periment demonstrates that thought
pumps the blood into the head or hands
or feel according as one directs his
mind, and that emotions, controllable
by the will. may refresh or poLson the
physical system as they are good or
bad.
Paul ha.$ given us not only the secret
of health. but the secret of happiness.
Not the dwelling place 1)1 the body, but
the dwelling place of the thoughts, de-
termines whether one's life shall be
Riled with joy or with misery. `eine
of the most tniserable pts.ple live in
mansions, dine sumptuously and dress
luxuriously. Some of the happiest Iwo-
ph live in very lowly circumstances.
The difference is entirely mental.
One man is miserable in spite of his
flue physical circumstances; another
happy in poverty because of Ids mental
dwelling place. Moreover, Paul indi-
cates hero the road to success. More
potpie fail to achieve their worthy am-
bitions because they cultivate wrong
mental habits than for any other cause
whatever.
Life is full of splendid opportunities
for the roan who will seize them, and

Finally, thought means conduct. What
you do depends upon what you think.
Conduct is first in the mind, afterward

ing. Beware of holding evil pictures
before the imagination. Do not play
with evil even in your thoughts, for
what you think will register itself ulti-
mately and inevitably in what you do.
On the other hand, one can overcome
all the evils villi which his inner life i-
beset by exercis ug the will in the direc-
tion of right thinking. If you would do
the things you ought to do and leave
undone the things you ought not to do,
then look to your thoughts and in

Based on the text of the Revised Ver-
sion.
Tho law of the Ten Words. -The Ten
Commandments of the Mosaic law, are
referred to under the various titles of
"testimony." "covenant' (Exod. 25. 21 ;
Deut. 9. 9; Psa. 119), and "the Deco -
home." This last title means literally
"the law of the ten words," which Is the
name used in Excel. 24. 8; Deut. 4. 13.
end other passages. '111e name "Ten
(:omandments' is a less accurate though
more common rendering of the original
Ilebrew lLsel. The commonly accepted
view among Old Testament scholars
leaves undisturbed the tradition of the
Mosaic authorship of "an essenliall
spiritually and ethical code of ten pre-
eep1s." 11 is. however, considered prob-
able that this code existed origiryill;• in
.h much briefer form, lo which from time
to lingo various reflections told promises
were added for the purpose of strength-
ening the (gloat of the code to the mind
and will of the people. In support of
this theory it is fx/lnled out particularly
that the l'enluleurt kelt contains two
versions of this code in which are found
not a few and not altogether unimpor-
tant varintions. especially in the ren -
sons for obedience attached to lite fourth
and fifth commandments respectively.
The version of Exod. 20. 2.17. is general -
11S regnrdel as lho older and more
classic, while that of Deut. 5. 6.21,. is
admittedly of litter origin. 'I'o the dif-
