be read, gaining the elements of solid
self-culture and at the same time the
means of lasting benefit to family and So
ciety. But shun bad book as foul
leprosy, Never tamper with it, presum-
ing upon your frmness of principle. cat
the last" like strong drink, it will. bite
like serpent and sting like an adder"
Be sure to order your life not for time,
mainly, but for eternity. That old Epi-
curean maxim, "I 1t is all in lifetime"
is one of Satans traps. 1t is not all in a
life-time-not scarcely the begin
ming. For what is your life? 1t is even
vapor that appeareth for a little time
and then passeth away" You, an i'm
mortal being, have more to think of than
eating and drinking toiling and accumu-
lating. You have higher instincts than
pleasure or business, education, fame or
success. Jesus gives you good advice !:
Labor not for the meat which perisheth,
but for that meat which endureth unto
everlasting life. which the Son of Man
shall give unto you" This teaches you
to aim at the true glory of your being
and the achievement of your highest
manhood. You may shine in the frma-
ment of mind as star of the first magni-
tude; the brilliancy of your wit and
learning may startle the intellectual
world; yet. if still in your sins. you are,
with all this, but lost soul. The great
est gifts cannot atone for or supplement
the lack of redeeming grace. You must
have, from the Holy Spirit, new heart,
or your sun will go down in darkness.
The blood of Jesus alone cleanseth from
all sin. Conversion and pardon, both the
purchase of Gods Son, will be your pass
port to divine favor and glory. The Fa-
ther has made his Son the depository Of
whatever you need. He will freely give
you all things. The wisest young men
in our land are those who are made wise
unto salvation through faith in our Lord
Jesus Christ. Christ is your best model,
his gospel your only safe guide, and his
righteousness your only sure foundation.

for the discussion he takes mainly from
the astronomical and physical relations
OF our worlds and other worlds in our
system. Only scientific readers can take
in the full force of the argument, but
enough of it can be understood by,u s law
men to be satisfied of it's completeness
and to be delighted by the originality.
power and beauty of the handling. Only
his fellow scientists can follow Prof. Bar
bour in the use he makes of the latest
revelations of the telescope and the spec
troscope; but many of his illustrations
are from the regions of more familiar
knowledge, and are not only satisfactory
because easily understood by all, but very
striking because of their originality and
aptness. Every one must enjoy the use
he makes of the three general laws of
gravitation, and of the relations which
oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen bear to
the organization, continued existence and
uses of our planet.
Extracts from the article would make
this notice too long, but 1 cannot forbear
giving the closing paragraph, which an
nounces the ultimate conclusion:
Here, then, is Being that we can
worship now and evermore. For there
is not point in space so distant but God
is there, and also beyond not moment
in time past when he did not exist, and
also beyond; and not moment in time
to come when he shall not be, and also
continue to be thereafter. X Arch
angels veil their faces at the view of his
majesty and his excellency, and cry one
to another, He is holy Heaven and
earth are full of his gloryl'
"And materialism would blot out all
this glory from the universe
Let us examine the temple material
ism would build. Let us force an entrance
into its penetralia, for we cannot say its
most holy place. What shall we say of
the deity hidden behind the foul curtain
hidden there, though his famens deny
that he is therel Let US drag forth TO
the light the blind, idiotic, bowling god
whom his own servants despise. IT, the
author of this magnificent cosmos IT,
the father of our spirits
Yet between these two we must
choose. There is no other alternative :
we must take the Lord our God, or
Chance" S. L. G.

but now Japanese company owns the
line. On the Inland Sea there are 200
steamers which ply hither and thither
to the cities and towns. 1t was the Sab
bath day when we passed amidst this
scenery so grand and inspiring, where
nature everywhere pointed to natures

Inland Sea as an itinerant field. Here
are the waters forming network of tens

with their ten thousands, and the cities
with their hundred thousands. Here

is an open port. We're our Church to
open a mission, there is no field more in
viting than this. Osaka is the KEY to
Southern Japan. Could our present
missions be greatly strengthened, Japan
certainly would be an inviting nation to
which to preach the Gospel. H. G. D.

For the Central Presbyterian.
Our Work in South Florida.

What our Church is doing in any
quarter ought to be an interesting subject,
but especially in the new fields on the
frontier. And south Florida is frontier
field.
The section termed South Florida,
contains eleven counties in the southern
most part of the peninsula, and the area
is some 5000 square miles. In all this
vast region there are but nine Presbyte-
rian churches, only one of which is self
supporting. (In st. Johns Presbytery
there are in all but thirteen churches).
These nine churches are found in the fol-
lowing counties: Orange county, four;
Volusia, two; Sumpter, Marion, and
Hillsborough, one each. These church
es, with one exception, are small and
weak, and the reason is simply be-
cause they have not been supplied with
regular preaching. And the reason
why there is not larger number of
churches in this large section, is because
no Evangelist has hunted up the Presby-
terians, and organized them into church
es. Our Church has lost great deal
for that reason. I have scarcely visited
section where have not found Presby-
terians who have become Methodists.
Our working force in South Florida
is four in number, not more than half
able to supply the field they try to oc-
cupy. So but little aggressive work is
being done. We are simply trying now
to hold our own.
In strong contrast to what we are do
ing are the efforts of the Methodist and
Episcopal churches. There was lately
published list of the church buildings,
either in process or already built with
in the present year by the Episcopal
Church, and that number is about equal
to the whole number Of buildings that
haze ever been erected, in both the Florida
and st. Johns Presbyteries. The Metho-
dist Church is spending about six times
as much as we are doing in Home Mis-
sion work In south and east Florida.
Florida, especially the southern por-
ton, is attracting great deal of attention
lately, not only in the United States, but
in Europe. Last winter the immigra-
ton and travel to this State was unpre-
cedented, and from indications now APP
parent the last seasons travel will be
doubled by the next. To the ordinary
attractions offered to the health, pleasure
seeker, and orange grower will be added
the efforts Of the great Disston Land
Company to locate settlers upon its mil
lions Of acres. Their first effort, (Which
is just the beginning, will be to bring
immigrants, to settle upon fifty thousand
acres in Orange county, this winter.
The great army will soon be upon us !;
the scouting parties are already here,
and the picket lines are in sight. And
what shall, what can we do for them E?
Put more men into the field? But where
is the support to come from? St. Johns
Presbytery is too weak in numbers and
wealth, to raise much for Home Mis-
sions, and it is now drawing about all
from the Evangelistic and Sustentation
Funds that it is entitled to.
So, with Western Texas, we unite in
making an earnest appeal to the liber-
atty Of the Southern Church to make
special contribution for us, that we make
use Of our golden opportunity, aolicd IS
