| Wo often henr the words, "every i
;hotly must hear his own burden" is!
lit not the duty of one who standsi
Iby his neighbor, friend or brother!
|to help when the loud is heavy? j
jls it not ii qualification of love's i
'duly, the declaration of a deep
i principle in life. We are never to
slay our hand when we are in the
presence of human need.
Yet there is a lit'<* which all of
us live in which no one can help,
where each one must bear their own
burden. No matter how eager love
is it can do nothing. No one can
come into us when we are
facing our sudden death, bowing
beneath it ami share it with lis.
There is immeasurable help fur
sad hearts in true sympathy. It
bring- the *ensc of companionship
to those who ire alone in the dark
ness. Yet even the deepest and
real sympothy does not take away
the keenness of the Miiguish. This
is a burden the sufferer must bear
himself. Take thou my hand in
thy unfaltering one. Lead me in
thine own way until the journey i*
done.
Do you know that Uncle Sam spends
a million and a half dollars each
year to obtain advance information
concerning the weather for his
people?
lie does and its more money
than all the powers of Europe con -
bined expend annually for this pur
pose—Ml it stands to reason that lie
ought to have the best weather
Bureau in the world.
Some times we jjft a Utile bit
upset when the weather prediction"
dout hit the mark, hut after all we
have to admit that the aggregate
results taken, year after year, are
really wonderful.
l>id you ever stop to think how
much money the weather ni in saves
fur the people of the country? Well,
some years ago a large insurance
company, which thought the
Weather Bureau was over-rated,
started out to gather statistics on
this subject. They came to the
conclusion that through the warning
of the weather man no less than
#30,000,000 was saved by the people
of the Cnited States each year.
Pretty «ood return for an outlay
of a million and a half a year,
isn't it?
Probably the most important
work which the Weather Huron u
i- now conducting is tlie study of
the sun, which is being made at
Mount Weather, which is « peak
in the Mine Ilidge, about sixty-five
miles from Washington. The
Weather Bureau officials came to
the conclusion that the proper de
velopement of their service depend
ed upon determining the relation
of the great orb to the meteorol
ogical conditions of the earth. It
holds, ihey believe, the key to the
inysteries of the cyclone, drought,
torential flood, etc. and they jire
now seeking that key.
