From recently published letters of
Sir Alfred Mllner it sc-ms that on Nov.
20 of lat year he wrote to Mr. Cham
bcilo.in abcut "the colossal armaments
of the Transvaal" and described the
Doer republic as "a huge arsenal." Tin
warning came too late and the world,
tis a consequence, has seen during the
closing year of the century two little
lepublics successfully confronting th3
greatest empire of modern times. The
future historian of the Transvaal war
will have some interesting materials
at hard when he ccrr.es to narrate this
Etrr.ggle almost without a parallel la

It 13 curious how a conviction tends
to become deep and strong by reason
cf the fact that it is entertained. It
seems to possess the power of the seed
to send out shoots and become rooted
in the mind, and ultimately to yield
to its fruitage. Indeed, except for those
rare natures that have the power on
the instant of coming to the firmest
decision, the element of time is an im
portant factor in the strength of our
convictions. While we are completely
occupied in other things our beliefs
and decisions are unconsciously grow
ing, and we find, perhaps to our sur
prise, that the opinion of a month or
two ago has become a controlling con
viction. Parents are often discouraged
because noble ideas appear to arouse
so little response in tho inner lives of
their children. But there is no reason
for discouragement. If they will recall
the time factor in the formation of
their own characters, they will have
an abounding faith in the gradual
deepening of convictions through the
f recesses of life. The good seed that
falls on good ground needs only to b3
let alone to produce a good harvest.

"Today we are going to study one of
Christ's most wonderful cures: The
unstopping of a deaf mute's ears. It ij
the more remarkable because ?t. Mark
is the only divine biographer who
resorda the miracle. In tho first place,
'they bring unto him one that Is deaf.'
because tho affliction was considered
Incurable. Even unto this day vc
know but very little about tho human
ear. The eye. the foot, the hand, the
stomach, the liver, the heart have been
explored and are understood by the
dissector's knife. But the ear, with
its tympanum, its bone3. its two vesti
bTJles or storm doot-3. for the anatomist
must pass through the outer and mid
dle ear before ho can enter the holy
of holies of sound; the car, able to
catch a loved one's whisperings, and

may vibrate and cause sound. We find
In the ear there 13 a long tube connect
ing with the throat, and on the top o! !
this tube there is a thin membrane or
skin which moves up and down as ;he
waves of sound strike it. And catarrhal
troubles are dangerous because they
threaten the stoppage of th:3 tub?.
Sometimes deafness Is caused by cere
brospinal meningitis. The nerve
which run3 from the base of the- brain
to the ear becomes paralized. Some
times deafness Is caused by the outer
nerves of the ear being destroyed by
tn at- most dreaded of all infantile dis
eases called scarlet fever, a more de
structive enemy to tho nursery than
death, because when It Is driven away
from the cradle. In mad rage this dis

cause 13 Inexplicable. A man's ear may
bo perfectly formed, yet the mind is no
more able to differentiate sound that

ever may bo the cause of deafness,
when a child is once born deaf, he Is
deaf to the grave. No power of sur
gery or medicament has ever bo?:i
able to cure the afiliction.
It is easy for you to live after the
world's opinion, and in solitude to live
after one's own; but the truly great
man 'is he who, in the midst of the
crowd keeps with perfect sweetne
the independence of eolltude.
Fuure That Vrovm Fact.
"To prove this la true, of the 33.03U
deaf mutes in the United States, and
29,512 deaf mutes In France, and the
24,483 deaf in Germany, and the 2.005
deaf In Denmark, and the 4,778 iu Sar
dinia, and 4,000 deaf mutes In Canada,
and the 10.000.000 deaf mutes in thi3
world at the present time for Joseph
A. Seiss, in his book called 'The Chil
dren of Silence,"' declares there la one
deaf mute to ever 1,400 of the human
race not one of the deaf mutes has
ever heard one sound If born without
the power of hearing. Now, you must
realize the condition In which Jesus
Christ lived was entirely different from
that of the present day. In this age
of factories and smoke and beehives
of swarming populations a city la a
place where no one knows his neigh
bor. The only Interest most of ua take
in the man who lives next door 13
when the crape hangs upon the knob
and the hearse comes to carry away
the filled casket. But in olden times,
as in smaller country villages today,
everyone knew everybody else. Here
was a lad born deaf. Everyone knew
his relatives and knew him, and know
he had never heard a sound. He had
the sullen, vicious, self-willed, sinful
look of tho deaf mutes of old. Per
haps in one of his fits of evil temper
he picked up a club, and as a maniac
struck his mother over the head and
left her bleeding upon the floor, car
ing not even though ehe was a corpse.

" 'By the way,' some one says, 'have
you heard of Jesus, tho Wonderful med
icine man, whom some call a phophet?
They say ho can cure &ickncss by Just
looking at an invalid. Ho is a young
Nazarenc, only 20 years of age. You
know my wife's cousin. Some few
mouths ago he was Invited to a wed
ding In tho little village of Cana. near
Gallllee. And this Jesus came to the
marriage, and the wine gave out, and
he bended over come wr.terpota and the
water turned into wine. My cousin said
It was eo; you need not laugh. I be
lieve him.'
"'Yes,' answered another, 'I heard
that he resurrected Jairus daughter,
and that an old woman, who had a
chronic sickness of twelve years, just
touched his garment and was healed.'
" 4Ycs,' answered another, I not only
heard that ho opened the eyes of one
born blind, but I even heard he cured
a dumb man posrefsed with a devil.'
niwl tho nfnnlf marveled, saving: it
wis never f.o seen in Israel.'
"Jr.5,t then another neighbor comes
in and rays that JrwA this snr.13 Jesus,
this reiriuuious Jesus, is only ;i short
distance away over the hills of Deca
polls. 'Come,' they Kay, with one ac
cord, 'let us take him to Christ. He
can cure if any one can.' And they
bring unto him one that was deaf be
cause the affliction won incurable.
"Lessen the second: They brought
unto Jcr,u3 one who wa3 not only deaf,
but dumb. The Bible says he 'had an
impediment in his speech.' No one part
cf the physical body can be entirely di
vorced from the other parts. As Paul
said: 'The body Is one that hath many
members, and all cf the members of
that cue body being many, are one
body.'
"We find that these different mem
bers act and react upon each other.
The hand protects the eyo. The eye
warns the foot. Tho foot Is the mes
senger boy for the brain. The vein3
are the canals carrying to the farthest
extremetks the daily supplies of food,
tibrtm for the muscles, albumen for the
blood, lime for the bones, phosphites
for the nerves, moisture Tor the g'.ancts.
And all over the surface of the body
the pores of the skin as scavengers are
at work tossing off the refuse night
and day. as well a3 day and night.
While the nerves are the harpstring3
upon which nature thumbs the har
monies of life.
No Orirnn Inlepn1nt.
"But in Christ's time no one part of
the body was more dependent on an
other part than the organ of speech
was upon the organs of the ear. That
Is the reason we quoted only the first
nine word3 of the verse for a text.
There have been cases on record where
persons have been dumb and not deaf.
But these are very rare. Ninety-nine
times out of a hundred, when a man 13
a deaf mute. I1I3 vocal organs are all
right, but undeveloped. The deaf and
dumb are unable to speak merely be
cause the ear cannot teach tho voice
how to aet. There are today 375 dif
ferent deaf mute .schools, with 2,197
teachers and 2F..797 pupils.
"By the power of touch, by placing
the finger under the throat of the
teacher and practicing the vowels and
consonants, even those who were born
deaf mutes are now taught to speak.
And through the same wonderful sys
tem, not only the deaf mutes, but in
feme Instances those who have had
two of their five senses gone are net
only dnf and dumb, but also blind,
have had the spark of intelligence
kindled in their darkened brain.
" 'Wailed In by deafneas, dumbness,

pall?

Beats hot against the bars that hold
it in
Striving among the best to reach the
goal.
And through Christ's death Immortal
life to win.'
"So when Jesus placed the "two fin
ders as two syringes against the two
broken ear drums and said, 'Ephpha
tha' that is 'Be opened,' he loosed
the tongue that had an impediment at
tho same time. The best way to de
velop the tongue 13 to develop the ear.

Audubon, with gun and pencil, disap
peared Into the American forests. He
lived among the birds until the birds
adopted him into 1,000 different fami
lies. They talked to mm; ne usteneu.
After awhile the naturalist's car be
came so keen he knew their songs of
Joy. their cries of sorrow and their
love-makings. Ho stood at their cra
dles and dug their graves. For years
and years thus ho practiced self-sacrifice
and worked and studied. Do you
wonder that John James Audubon'r.
tongue was able to talk about his
feathered friends so interestingly that
grown people stopped to listen and the
little children begged to look at his
pretty pictures?
"This feeling was exhibited in the
ninth chapter of John, when the dis
ciples asked him in reference to one
born blind, saying. 'Master, who did
sin, this man or his parents, that he
was born blind?' Jesus answered:
'Neither hath this man sinned or his
parents, but that the work of God
night be made manifest in him.'
Efrt of Ilrreil.tT.
"In fifty-nine cases of deafness re
ported by the Illinois institution, in
187.1, the parents of forty-two were
first-cousins; of nine, second cousins,
of five, third cousins, and cf two fourth
cousins, and cf cno cn uncle and a
niece. And Dr. David Buxton writes:
'I knew the mother of three mute chil
dren who was tho daughter of a deaf
mute, and the grandfather, though his
own children heard perfectly, was one
of the eight deaf mutes In a family of
sixteen. If a deaf person marries one
who hears, the chances of their
having a deaf-mute child are three
fourths of 1 per cent.'
"In the next place, for these unfor
tunates we should build the best
Echools and send them the best teach
ers. That Is the great trouble with
work, the bright Christian teachers
will not devote their time to these edu
rntlnnal onnortunities. Tho class is
naturally small, the classroom very
depressing, and tho remuneration not
enticing.
"Most Important of all, wo should
surround them with Christian love.
Tho matron of a deaf and dumb school
told me the deaf mutes were happy as
long as they were Inside the four walls
cf the school, but the children in tho
street would tease and tantalize them.
As we help the helpless, God will care
for us.
"Tlfore Is a beautiful story told that
one day a clergyman was visiting a
deaf and dumb school, and the teacher,
having Fent the pupils to the black
board, the visiting clergyman a&ked a
young boy there three questions. First,
'Who made the world?" Immediately
the deaf-mute child wrote, in tho be
ginning God created the heavens and
the earth.' Question the second: 'Why
did Jesus Christ come Into the world?'
With a smile tho lad again wrote,
'TI1I3 13 a faithful saying, and worthy
of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ
came into the world to save tinners.'
The clergyman hesitated for a moment,
and then asked: 'Why were you born
deaf and dumb, while I can hear and
speak?'
"A tear started, yet the lad hesitated
net. but wrote, 'Even so. Father, for
so it seemed good in thy sight.'
"In that last great day may our sin
ful cars hear the words 'Well done.'
For then the dumb shall speak and tho
silent lips sing for Joy."

SWEETHEARTS AND WIVES.
How the I!ot Women Tut In Tliclr
Time During the War.
Doer wives, mothers, sisters and
daughters, whose male relatives are
lighting now, are passing through an
unnecessarily anxious time, says the
Iondon Mail. The war authorities at
Pretoria apparently hold strictly self
ish views upon the subjoct of casualty
lists, deeming It Impolitic to let thosa
who are bereaved know that their men
folk are dead. Owing to the Influence
the knowledge might have on others
who are going to the front, the Boer
war office keeps lt3 secrets inviolate
and does not Issue news of loses on the
Held. The elder generation of Hocr
women will probably be bearing the
suspense in tight-lipped, listless si
lence, but the girl3 who have received
the benefits cf education will under
stand how cruel their position is and
fret in impotent wrath beneath the
Injustice Inflicted upon them by this
reticence. What kind of lives are
these women leading? In all likelihood
pretty much what they led in ordinary
limes. Their farms are squat, two or
three roomed buildings, dumped down
on the veldt far away from neighbors,
in the renter of the acreage of land
farmed by the proprietor. They are
wretchedly uncomfortable habitations,
for Poer women are not house-proud.
Formerly no Boer woman received
more than an apology for an educa
tion and a very lamo one at that. Now, j
however, some of the youngsters are 1
rent to the convent schools and are I
modeled Into very mu?h improved edi- j
tions of the original Boers.

The topaz is called the stcne of
gratitude, and the old Roman books
record a suggestive legend. The blind
Emperor Thcodosius used to hang a
brazen gong before hi3 palace gate3
and sit beside it on certain days hear
ing and putting to rights the griev
ances of any of his subjects. Those
who wished for his advice and help
Lad but to sound the gong, and Im
mediately admission into the presence
of Caesar was obtained. One day a
great snake crept up to the gate and
struck the brazen gong with Its colls,
and Theodosiu3 gave orders that no
one should molest the creature and
bade her to tell him her wish. The
snake bent her crest lowly In homage
and straightway told the following
tale: Her nest wa3 at the base of
the gateway tower, and while she had
gone to f;nd food for her young brood
a strange beast covered with eharp
needles had invaded her home, killed
the nestlings and now held possession
cf the little dwelling. Would Caesar
grant her justice? The Emperor gave
orders for the porcupine to be slain
and tho mother to be restored to her
desolate nest. Night fell and the
sleeping world had forgotten the Em
peror's kindly deed, but with the early
dawn a great serpent gilded Into the
palace, up the steps into the royal
chamber and laid upon each of the
Emperor's closed eyes a gleaming
topaz. When Emp3ror Theodosius
awoke ho found he was no longer
blind, for the mother snake had paid
her debt of gratitude.
