the world with griefs; beats hard and wide,

THE WORLD FOOLS ARE CHRIsT's WISE MEN.
They have been saved through the foolish
ness of preaching. That Gospel which
world wise men denounced as folly they
have found to be the power of God and the
wisdom of God. Hardest of all, they are
willing to be counted fools for Christ's
sake. Some of them have taken .joyfully
the spelling of their goods knowing in
themselves that they have in heaven bet
ter and an enduring substance. They
knew the preciousness of life, but for the
Master aud his truth counted it not dear
unto them. These are they whom cold
men, who turn to ledgers for recreation,
call fools; whom half-ripened sophomores
call mad. But what says history "Of

PITY FOR LONELY You've MAN.-O. w.
Holmes, in the May atlantic, writes as fol-
lows: 81 know nothing in the world ten
derer than the pity that a kind hearted
young girl has for a young man who feels
lonely. 1t is true that these dear creatures
are all compassion for every form of human
woe, and anxious to alleviate all human
misfortunes. They will go to Sunday
schools through storms their brothers are
afraid of, to teach the most unpleasant and
intractable classes of little children the age
of Methuselas and the dimensions of Og
the king of Bashan's bedstead. They
will stand behind a table at fair all day
until they are ready to drop, dressed in
their prettiest clothes and their sweetest
smiles, and lay hands upon you, like so
many Potiphars-perfectly correct ones,
of course-to make you buy what You do
not want, at prices which You cannot afford ::
all this as cheerfully as if it were not mar
tyrdom 20 them as we'll as to you. Such
is their love for all good objects, such their
eagerness to sympathize with all their suf-
fering fellow creatures. But there is moth
ing they pity as they pity a lonely young
man.

was lighted, and in 1916, Guildhall. Still
there was great opposition even from scien-
ti6c men, and there were also great diff
oulties from want of machinery to make
and use the gas. Gun barrels screwed
together were used to convey it from place
to place. Finally, however, every obstacle
was surmounted, and now there is not y
