None Of US are perfect, and we have
no right, therefore, to expect perfec-
ton in others. SO if you can not
speak well of your neighbors do not
speak of them at all. A cross neigh
Dor may be made kind one by kind
treatment. The way to be hap
Ply is to make others happy. To
do good lisa luxury. If you are not
wise and better at the end of the day,
that day is lost. Practice kindness,
even if it be but to speak one word.
Do not seem to be what you are not.
Learn to control your temper and
your words. Say nothing behind
ones back that you would not say to
his face. This habit of reticence, be-
side being kindly one, is safe. Many.
bitter harvest has been reaped from
thoughtIess words of censure.

Biblical Research.

The Je,0ish Messenger says that fac
S1naale copy has been received bv the
Palestine Exploration Fund of a Pheni-
clan inscription from the Pool of Sloan
1t was first discovered by their cores.
pendent in Jerusalem, few months ago
and consists of six lines (about $50 words
in alD, enclosed within tablet, the let
ters of which it is composed being almost
identical with those on the Moabite
Stone. 1t has been anxiously awaited
by the experts in Europe, and we may
soon expect a translation. If not OF
equal hlsto. zeal value with the monu-
ment of Mesha, it cannot fail to prove OF
great archaeological interest To get at
the inscription, the water had to be low
cred by making ditch through the Pool,
so as to reduce it to its former level il
having become choked up with rubbish
ID the course of years, and its bed ac-
cordingly raised. The Pool of Sloan is
of very ancient workmanship, and is sup
posed to be connected with the water
works maze by King Hezekiah and TO
be supplied from spring of living water
in tie heart of the Temple rock The
name still exists in its Arabic form in the
Kefr Silwan, or village of Siloam-a
cluster of dwellings, half novels, halt
natural caves, on the opposite side of the
valley, whose inhabitants, when not en-
gagged In theft. earn scanty livelihood
by carrying water of the Pool into the
town for sale. No legend remains OF the
healing power of the Pool, and it would
be interesting if the inscription should
contain any allusion to sick persons who
waited for the angel to trouble the
waters. This is not so improbable as
may at first sight seem, for the date is
certainly not later than the first century
OF our era and may be much earlier
while it would appear to be the work Of
more than one hand and is Just such a
record as pilgrim would leave.-Inde-

France,

No more interesting spot to-day than
France presents itself to the heart and
constant prayers of the Christian. 1t is
SAID that thirty thousand of it's forty
thousand townships are open to evan
gelical preaching, and Roman Catholic
priests complain that they can go nowhere
without meeting Boles and tracts. This
present religious interest is doubtless the
legitimate fruit of much patient labor OF
various missionary agencies in years gone
by. In nine cases out of ten, where a
Protestant cnurch has been organised OF
late In France 1t had its beginning in
some Roman Catholic seeking a Protes-
tant teacher TO explain the Bible. In a
lew years France herself will take q
place in the work of Foreign Missions
beside Great Britain, America, and Ger
many. Her geographical position will
enable her to do much for the elevation
of Africa. The revival of Professionalism
In France has great significance viewed
In connection with its relations to the
dark continent. Perhaps no one of the
foreign powers is so active in developino
the resources of its colonies as this Re-
public. BY so doing the way is prepared
Tor religious activities in the future.
Their proposed railroad from Timbuctoo
to the Atlantic coast is already as well
assured as almost any project for inter
nal improvements in Africa. In 1878
they had expended 1926, 900 for artesian
wells in Algeria, and much desert land
by this means has been brought into use.
1t is also noteworthy that, up to 1862.
one hundred and fifty thousand palms
had been planted in tie vicinity of these
wells. What an encouraging prospect
does this hold out for the future of Az
RIGA. France may yet do great work.
