Our Protection Against MeteOrs.

During August and November, said an
astronomer, as he stood on a house-roof
watching shower OF meteors, more of these
strange visitors come to the earth than at
any other season of the year. "And," he
added, "when they strike the air the heat
produced in consequence OF their tremen-
dous velocity runs up million degrees or
more in second, and in twinkling they
are changed to vapor. If they could get
through the atmosphere they would make
it lively for us. No man could tell at what
instant he might be struck down by shot
from the sky, for meteoroids are plunging into
the atmosphere all the time at the rate of
several millions day for the whole earth.
The soft air that fans the cheek is to most
of these proiecties as impenetrable as a
wall of steel Some of them, however, are
able to penetrate the earth, but they are
comparatively very few in number. When
meteroid strikes the earth 1t is called an
aerolite. No good museum of mineralogy
is without one or more specimens of these
black-crusted, iron-like bodies. Humboldt
tells of two monks who were killed by them,
one at Crena, in 1911, the other at Milan,
1850. He also relates that two Swedish
sailors were killed by an aerolite on board
their ship in 1874, The matched roofs Of
houses have been set on fire by aerolites,
and sheep and animals have been struck
dead in the fields by them. Some think it
was a shower of aerolites that overwhelmed
the Amorites after they had been whipped
by Joshua, as described in the Bible. Be
sides, we are no safer than our forefathers.
Hardly year passes without one or more
masses OF meteoric stone falling in the
neighborhood of human habitations. In
1875 a German farmer was shot through the
arm by small aerolite, which made hole
like a bullet. In 1878 boy at Hanau had
a piece OF his thumb Clipped off by burn
ing stone that fell from the sky. About two
years ago a boy at Paterson, New Jersey,
was said to have been hit in the leg by an
aerolite. His story was doubted, but be-
lieve it was never disproved.

Begin the Day with God.

In one of our recent meetings young
man remarked he had begun to devote half
an hour each morning to secret prayer; that
he found his daily life growing to be more
as he desired it should be. When the press
of duties precluded this morning commu-
Mon with the Master the day seemed to him
failure. We trust there are none of our
young men who do not hold secret converse
with the Master at the days commencement.
His ear can hear amid the clang of machin-
cry and the hum of voices. No matter what
are the surrounding circumstances, the heart
can go to God. Wherever Abraham pitched
his tent there he raised an altar to the Lord.
So, wherever the Christian heart is there
is also an acceptable altar from which the
incense of prayer and praise may ascend.
Luther, in his busiest seasons, felt that
praying time was never lost. When re-
markably pressed with labor he would say,
I" | have so much to do that cannot get on
without three hours day praying" Sir
Matthew II ale said, " If omit praying aud
reading Gods Word in the morning nothing
goes well all day." How many of us may
find here the cause of many of our failures,
and consequently discomfort and loss of
happiness Bishop Taylor beautifully re-
marks, Prayer is the key to open the day,
and the bolt to shut in the night"

Heart Power.

Heart power is of all others the most be-
nefcent Physical energy subdues matter,
but the soul triumphs by the force of its af-
fections over the mightiest OF obstacles.
The heart of Christ is the seat and center of
this supremacy over so many millions of our
race. He is not ranked as genius. nor as
an orator. He disdained the boasted charms
of philosophy. Yet his speech distilled
as the dew, and his words, have an mex.
haustible power which neither dulness nor
ignorance nor deprsvity nor unbelief can re-
sist. II we seek to find the reason of their
power we shall find in it that love which
vitalizes all the truth they express. Here,
then, lies the secret of Christian usefulness.
Ministers of the gospel, Sabbath-school
teachers, parents, all who desire to impart
the gospel, must let it run through the fervid
affections of the heart. Cold, intellectual
instruction may have its way in schools
and in those discussions which relate 10 gen.
eral public affairs but in the the kingdom
of heaven the heart is master. They who
put most of heart into their work have
most success, and reap the largest satisfac-
ton. This is truth too often forgotten
in these days, when so much stress is laid
on methods.-Christidn al Work.
