The Bible q Microscope.
fChrfsrian Union

A father brings home to his children a
microscope. First he takes it to pieces; he
shows them its detectives, its eye piece, its
tubes, its reflector, The mechanism OF the
stand, and the screw for adjusting the focus.
Then he puts it together, and puts the dust
of butterfy's wing in the focus, and they
look through the microscope at the object.
The Bible is an instrument given to show US
truths which we should not have seen with
out it, or to show us more clearly truths
which we should have seen but dimly. The
wise student will scrutinize his instrument;
will recognize that there is difference of
power in the different objectives-that there
is not, for example, the same spiritual dis
cernment in Solomon as in Christ nor the
same revealing power in the book of Ruth
as in the Fourth Gospel; he will think it not
irreverent to take the dust of the glasses; he
will recognize that different focus is need
ed for different eyes and that every man
must adjust the instrument for his own use.
But when all this is done he will look not
at it, but through it, to the truth which God
has prepared for his examination.

Rread-Making In the East.

TFrcm Orelli's Through the Holy Lsnd."1
On our return an instructive sight awaited
US. We saw how bread was baked in an
adjoining building. 1t was done with a
rspidity which explains how of old the
supply was prepared every day, and how if
some guest arrived the housewifecould make
the necessary provision without delay Gen.
xviii, g.. Among the Fellaheen the dough
is not generally leavened. A round hole in
the ground some IL feet deep, and the same
in diameter, forms the oven. In this lie some
live Goals, which as in Hosea's time Hosea
vii, 81, are not allowed to go out at night,
and, when baking has to be done, are again
revived The housewife first forms lump
of dough with her hand, then suddenly
spreads it out with an indescribably rapid
action of both bands-whicn can as little be
initiated as a conjuror's movement-into a
cake as thin as leaf, which with moistened
dab or rag she presses into the. oven, where it
remains sticking. In minute it begins to
move, and is at once taken out to make room
for the following one.
The bread is now ready, not thicker than
parchment, not very relishing, and somewhat
sandy on the outside, but really very enjoy
able for anyone who has a good appetite.
Although of the size of large plate, such a
slice contains but little nourishnent, and
jeremiah could hardly have been saved from
starvation when only one such piece of bread
was given him every day.

RELrGIoUs NOTES AND INCIDENTS

There are eighty-two Mormon churches in
England and Ireland.
The total number of colored Baptists in
the Southern states is given at 646,974.
The Mormons have thir. y-one missionaries
in Great Britain, and will send twenty
more.
The religious movement against "bsnged'
hair is extending. Bishop Elder of Cinci-
matt has issued q prohibitory order on the
subject.
The Religious Herald, published at Rich
mond, Va, says that four-ffths of the
] 1855, 1926, 500 persons in the world are "with-
out God and without hope"
The number of copies of the Bible in
circulation at the beginning of the present
century is estimated at 100000. 1t is
believed that the circulation has since in
creased to l4s 100000 copies.
A lady who had refused to give after hear
ing charity sermon had her pocket picked
as she was leaving the church. On making
the discovery she said: "Ged could not find
the way to my pocket, but the devil did"
In the Protestant Episcopal Convention
last week, resolution was adopted, urging
all Christians to cooperate in trying TO
abolish polygamy in Utah. Another batch
of Mormon missionaries have started Cor
foreign fields to lay snares for the credulous
and unsophisticated.
Concerning public prayers an eccentric
Presbyterian divine says: 1--WE have three
prayers-the invocation, the long prayer,
and the closing prayer Some people spend
the invocation in arranging their apparel
after coming to church, the long prayer in
wishing it were over, and the closing prayer
in getting ready to start homeward."
when the old sailor came home from a
sailing voyage, he saw at once what allied
the preaching. THE minister's smart
enough, and he says u great many good
things, bat the sermon don't have any har-
pooh in it." The farmer meant the same
thing when he said of the clergyman: "He's
a good man, but he will rake with the teeth
up"
In sailors meeting in rough part of
London the sailors, however uncultured
they may be, are permitted to take part in
exhortation and prayer. At recent meet
ing a man thus expressed himself in prayer:
''Lordl some o. these ere people says as how
they was brands pluckt from the burnin'
Lordl 1 was blszin' tar-barrel, was; but
Thou didst fetch me out, Lord"
Spurgeon has a happy way of administer
ing rebuke when rebuke is needed. One day
he was annoyed by three young men who
persisted in wearing their hats in church.
He appeared for time not to notice them.
but proceeded to tell his audience of visit
he had paid to Jewish synagogue. "When
entered" he said, Il took off my hat, but
was informed that the great mark of respect
was to keep it on. 1 did so, though assure
you felt very strange wearing my hat in a
place of worship. And now, as paid this
mark of respect to the synagogue, may 1
ask those Jews in the galley to conform
equally to our rules and kindly uncover
their heads7" That was enough. The
yoApg men instantly took off their hats.
