fine for thus remoging such articles

RELIGIOUS READING.
GOD’'S WORK.
When God strengthens the soul or intensi
fles its life. He does a higher, more tremen-~
dous work than if lie merely wrought some
change in the outward things to accomodate
them to our weakness. ‘Take the extremest
case—say such a case as that of old Bishop
Hooger, who. in Queen Mary's time in 1355,
was burned at Gloncester for his Protestant
ism. All the time he was burning at the
stake there was a box before him with his
g:rdon in it if he would recant. Now, when
erled out to God for help, what
would have been the mnob'est answer?
Had the Lord put cut the fire by
providential interposition, every one would
say that was & good, real answer. Or it the
Lord had suspended the law by which fire
burns, and made it that it had climbed and
wreathed about him witkout scorching him,
that, too, would be reckoned a good, real
answer. Dut I teli you that when that old
man, by his praying, was strengthened so
that through the lonz three-quarters of an
hour that his torture lasted he never flinched,
never stretched out his hand to the box with
the pardon in it: and that when the shriveled
life at last ebbed outof him,it w2ntnot out in
mad shreiks of incoherent agony, but in
broken gasps of faith and trus:—l tell you
that there was a more tremendous mani
festation of the power of prayer than there
would have been in any outward help against
the flames. That i 3 just how the answer to
Paul’s prayer came in. Not the ‘‘thorn in the
flesh” removed, but his heart strengthened.
Paul came to fesl at last that that answer to
his Yrayer was the noblest answer. He came
to glory in it at last, even as he gloried in his
revelations and exalted spiritual experiences.
Instead of his faith in prayer being weak
ened, it was strengthened. And so it has
been all life througk. The strongest believers
in prayer have not been those to whom it has
seemed to bring a loaf in their want, or de
liverance in some -danger. No! The
strongest believers in prayer have been those
who, though they have asked a score of out
ward gifts in vain, have yet feit its power as
the sweetener and strengthener of life.—
Brooke Hereford, D. D., in *Sermons ol
Oourage and Cheer.”
MUSIC IX OUR LIVES,
A visitor to Amsterdam wished to hear the
wonderful musie of the ehimes of St. Nicho
las, and went up into the tower of the church
to hear it. There he found & man with
wooden gloves on his hands, poanding on a
keyboard. All he could hear was the clang
ing of the keys when struck by the wooden
gloves, and the harsh, deafening noise of the
bells cloze over his head. He wondered why
the peopla taiked cf the marveious chimes of
St. Nicholas. To his ear there was no musie
in them, nothing but terrible eclatter ard
clanging. Yet, all the while, there floated
out over and beyond the eity tie most en
trancing music. Men in the ficids paused
in their work to listen, and were mads
glad. DPeople in their homes and travel
ers on the highway, were thrilled
by the marvelous bell-notes that fell from thae
tower. There are many lives which to those
who dwell close bezide them sexm to make
no music. They pour out their strength in
hard toil. ‘l'hey are shut up in narrow
spheres. They dwell amid the noise and
clatter cf common task-work. They think
themselves that they are not of any use, ihag
no blessing goes out from their life. They
never dream that sweet music is made any
where in the world by their noisy hammering.
But out over the world, where the influence
goes from their work and character, human
lives are blessed, and weary ona: hear, with
gladness, sweet, comforting musie. Then
away off in heaven, where angels listen to
earth’s melody, entrancing stiains are heard.
~—J. L.. Miller, D. D.
POWER TO THINK.
.Among the most important furnishings of
the mind are capacity to observe and power
to think. In some senge every person is able
to observe and think: but, in reality a small
part only of mankind is accomplished in
such exereises, To attain this grand end,the
original endowments of nature must be sup
plemented by the generous ofiices of educa
tion. According to Emerson, few grown
people see nature. even though her handi
works lie evervwhere about them. They
have eyes, which ace not because they were
never opened to the marvels of the great
asorld in which they live. To see to any pur
pose is the result of education, oceasionally
secured by the person himself. but more gen
erally by the intervention of a giited teacher
found possibly in the school, or may be in the
parent or friend. To see the world about us
is even more important than to see what some
man centuries ago wrote down in a book. the
printed book is a matter of the past, while
the colors are being constantly renewed on
the pages of Nature’s great volume,
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST.
#Know ye not that your body is the templo

which is to make us like the risen Lord, the |
Holy Spirit rejoices over a new medium of
touch with otker lives and is eager to !
bring in new revelations from the Word and |
from riches in glory. He has conveyed to .
the sin-crushed world his uplifting and ra

TEMPLY OF GOD.

In what strange quarries and stone-yards the
stones for that celestial wall are being hewn!
Out of the hillsides of humiliated pride;

the fretting and dusty atmosphere of little
caress in the hard, eruel contuacts that man
has with man ; wherever souls are being tried
and ripened, in whatever commonpiace and
homely ways—there God is hewing out the
pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can
only have some vision of the temple of whichb

Joshuan xiv., 5-14 Golden
Text: Joshua xiv., 14—
—Commentary.
K. “*As tha Lord commanda | Moseg, &0 tha
ohildren »f Tsrael did, and they dividel tha
land,”” Moses and Joshua war= faithfn! ser
vants of Jehovah and implieitly obeyed His
eommands. They left nothine undone that
He commandel, Joshua took the wholas
land and divided it among the tribes, and
the land restad from war («hapter xi., 15, 23).
PBut althouch the land was wholiy ziven {o
Israel they did not possess 1t fily («hapter
xiii.. 1(. and they allowed the Jebnsites and
Canaanitesto dwell amonz them (chanter
xv.. 63; xvi,, 10; xvii., 12). This disobedi
nnes on the:part of the pennle afterward
hrought trguble upon them (Judge ii., 1.2).
Every ever in Jesus is now ‘“‘hlessed
with alP@siriaal blessinzs in tho h~avanlies
in Christ” (Eph. i. 38). Yet bui few enjoy
full nossession. Manv prefer to tolerate a
few Canaanites and Jebusites and rather en

6. “Thou know»st, the thing that the
Lord said unto Mos~s, the man of God, con
rerning me and thea in Kadesh-barnea.”
These ara the words of Caleb tn his olld
friend and companion, Joshtta. Caleb was
of the tribe of Judabh, and Joshua was of
Ephraim (Num. xiii., 6,8). Ozlv they two
of all the spies believed Godl and nrzed tha
peopla to go right un and take thelan! in
the name of the Lord. The Lori said that
only they two of all that genaration should
enter the land (Num. xiv., 30) andthat the
rest would die in the wilderness beeause of
their unbslief. They. too, woull have to
wait forty years because of the unbelief of
others, but thev waited with God, for He
also waited and was hinderad bv the nnbe
lief of theneople. Hear His words, “How
long will it be erathay believa Me?” “Oh,
that My peonle had hearkened unto Ms”
(Num. xeiv..ll; Pr. Ixxxi., 13).
7. “Forty yvears old was I when Mosazg, thy
servant of the Lord, seant mas from Kadesh
harnea to espv out the land, and I broazht
him word azain as it was in mine heart.”
His heart w s right with Gnl. He believal
God and feared to grieve Him. Therelore
ha spake what was in his heartas in the sizht
of God and souzht not to please the peovle,
For this faitiifulness he anl Joshuna woere
threatened with stones (Num. xiv., 10), but
the Lord stood by them. Cousider David,
with not 2 human beinz to <tanl by him,
threatened with stones hvhis own friends,
and observe what he did ([ Sam. xxx., 6).
8. ¢“My brethren that went up with: me
made the heart of the people melt. but I
whollv followad ths Lord mv God.” The
ten spies had to confesztha® ths lanl was a
egood lanl, but thov mila 55 much of the

9, “And Moses sware on that day. siyving,
Surely the land wharaon tav fest have trod

them in prayer, saying, “Remember tho
word unto Thy servant, uncn waich Thou
hast ecaused me to hope” (Ps. exix.. 43). The
word of the Lord is a sur2 foundation on
which we may firmly rest. It endureth for
ever, is true from the bazinning anlis for
ever settled in heaven (Isa. xl, 8; Pz cxix,

sayinz, Surely as 1 hava thought, so shall it
come to pass, and as I have purposed, so
shall it stand” ([sa. xiv., 24). Blessed are
all who believe, for there shall be a perfor
manece of the things told them by the Lord
(Luke i., 45).
11. “As vet I am asstrong this day as I
was in the day that Moses sent me.” As
strong and hearty at the age of eighty-five
as when he was lorty. Like Moses, at the
age of 120, his eye was not dim nor his nat
ural force abated (Deut. xxxiv., 7). ‘‘They
ynat wait upon the Lord shall renew their
strength, they shall mount up with wings as
eagles.”’ “Youth is renawed like the eagle’s™

witnessing for Jesus Christ; Dr. David
Brown, (fifl Aberdeen, the great commentator,
who wrote me November 5, 1894, that,
though in his ninety-second vear, he was in
perfect health. H» said, ““I have no aches
nor pains, am not tired of life, but would
like to do a little work for my Master be

the very same Jesus.
12. “If so be the Lord will bs with me,
then Ishall be able to drive them oaut, as the
Lord said.” He seemed to covet the diffizul
ties that he might see the great power of
God. Being not weak in faith, he gave
glory to God. He counted not on his ability,
but that God was able. Like Paul he could
say, ‘I can do all thinzs through Crist,who
strengtheneth me.” ‘“For when lam weak,
then am I strong” (Pail. iv., 13; II Cor. xii.
10). “God with us” is the secret of all
strongth in His serviee. See Jer. i., 8, 19;
Hag. ii., 4; Math. xxviii., 18-20).
13. “And Joshua blessed him, and gava
unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron
for an inheritance.” It was at H2bron that
Abraham built an altar unto the Lord and
dwelt, after Lot separated himseli from him.
There he welcomed and entertained the Lord
Himself, and there the Lord commune 1 with
him (Gen. xiii., 18; xviii., 1, 35). Hebron
is suggestive of fellowship or communion,
and when we have the spirit of Abraham
and Caleb we shall know what fellowship
with God means (I John i., 3).
14. “Hebron therefore bezame th+ inher
itance of Caleb, because that he wholly fol
lowed the Lord God of Israel.”” This follow

there can be none with a hali heartei fol

number of horrified spectators in the sireet.
Lewis was thrown from the secaffold and
caught with his hands the narrow coping un -
der the windows. He managed to work along
till he reached the fire escape and was then
easily rescued. Cormier clung to the rope
for some time and was finally rescued by a
man in the building, who stepped on the

'REVEALED IN A DREAM.
How a Doctor Diagnosed a Case and
One of the most unaccountable ad
ventures in the phenomena of the lives
of the physicians ever recorded was re
lated by Dr. Charles Bockman, of As
toria, L. I, at a meeting of the Ameri
can Medical Soclety In this city Tues
day afternoon. The sclentific men pres
ent were much Interested in the strange
freak of nature the practitioner dis
closed. They belleve it new and valua
ble evidence regarding the much-dis
cussed opinions on the conditions of the
mind or brain in sleep, which is also
a subject of strong human interest. |
“It seems to me,” said Dr. Bockman,
after introducing the subject to his lis
teners in a formal manner, “thatitisa

phenomenon is not mysterious offgwen

baby suffering the most rigid spas- !

I found impossible to discover. I first 1
saw the poer little infant on Sunday |
and by Tuesday had become perfectly |
nenplused as to what to do for it, fur- |
ther than to administer temporary re- f
lief. I thought of nothing else than the !
poor little one’s sufferings all day Mon
day, and retired that night with the
child’s remarkable symptoms mentally l
photographed on my mind. i
“Juesday morning when I arose I had |
been to see the little patient in a dream; ]
had discovered the trouble and con- |
ccived a simple treatment for its cure, }
which I had administered with entire !
success. Upon calling at Mrs. Lock- |
wood’s, the child’s mother, this morn- '
ing, I stepped to the corner of the room |
in which the cradle stood, and raising |
the infant’s foot observed the little rose- |
colored spot I had seen in my dream. ‘l
In an instant, almost before I knew E
what I was doing, I drew a slender |

quickly punctured the spot, when out !

ABSOLUTELY PURE
RUNNING—FOR BOYS.
Every Boy Can Become a Runner if lie
Tri&.
Every American boy should learn to
run. In Greece, In the days when men
and women took better care of their
bodies than they ever have since, every
boy, and girl, too, was taught to run,
just as the American child is taught to
read. And as far as we can judge by
the statues they have left behind them,
there were very few hollow-chested,
spindle-legged boys among the Greeks.
The Persian boy was taught to speak
the truth, run, ride and shoot the bow.
The Engilish boy is encouraged to run,
In fact, at some of the great English
public schools. boys of thirteen and
fourteen years of age, like Tom Brown
and East at Rugby, can cover six and
eight miles cross-country in the great
hare-and-houfid rund. Bwery boy is
turned oug twiee a week, out of doors,
and made to run, and fill himself full of
pure freéfifw and sunshine, and gain
more strength and life than any amount
of weight;pulling’ or dumb-bell work
in stuffy gymnasiums would give him.
See the resuit—the English boys, as a
whole, are a stronger set than we
American boys. Every English school
boy is to some extent an athlete. And
that is what American boys should te.
Not because football, baseball and ten
nis are valuable in themselves, but for
the good they do in strengthening boys’
bodies.

In the open alr; by exercising his arms,
back and leg muscles in throwing, bat

boy should be an athléte, But not
every boy can play football or baseball.
He may not be heavy or strong enough;
he may never be able to aeqnrire the
knack of catching or batting the ball.
Every boy can become a runner.—St.
