In Christian art the cross is the center.

1t is the pivotal point Of our theology, the
central theme OF evangelical preaching,
the worlds altar, the point Of contact be-

by their discussion Of the great truths of
revealed relig on, but by the relation in
which they group them TO the cross.
We distrust any system Of Christian
thought that does not make the cross con-
trail. Yet a man may subscribe TO and

Paul's glorying in the cross than the Levite

A DIFFERENCE.

Tho Atheist, the Agnostic and the Believer
The Divine Existence Inexpllcable, but
Not Unlxnowable.
[Chrlstian Mt Work.
The atheist and the agnostic are each in
consistent, but in different way. Thus
the atheist declares there is no God; but to
be consistent he must bs clothed with Di-
vinity; else how can he affirm that there
is no God; how does he know what
does not exist? The agnostic turns diff
ferent cdrner-he declares that first
cause and an unseen world are unknown
and incapable of being known. True, Mr.
Spencer has modified his own position on
this point, but this is what Mr.. Harrison
and the Comptists affirm. But here come
conflict and inconsistency. Your positiv-
ist processes to know the world of sense,
and afllrms he can know nothing of God,
and so declares that God Is incapable OF
self-revelation. In other words he says IL
is impossible to know anything of God, and
yet he asserts his knowledge OF the limita-
tons of God by declaring that He can not
reveal Himselfl He has looked at God,
measured His qualifications and llmita-
tions and pronounced upon them, while de-
claring that all knowledge OF Him is impos-
ysible. To such inconsistency does he ar
rive, and so he confounds the distinction
between the unknowable and the inexplica-
BILE.
How different with the believer! He
does not pretend to know all about God,
but he is conscious that God has revealed
Himself. He sees God in design and in
causation. All nature is full of the sym
bols Of His presence. The Divine existence
is inexplicable, but II is not unlmowable,
and this confusion of ideas that are wholly
distinct is one of the dells in the wilder
ness Of mind -errantry, in which the ag-
nostic has lost himself.
Agnosticism would rob human life Of its
noblest aspirations. Mans relations to
God are his true glory, and these are they
which give supreme moment to the issues
Of his existence; and so it Is that to deny
the knowledge of God--to believe that
there is not, nor ever was a revelation Of
Gods to sap the foundations Of morality
and to rob man of his chief source of hap
piness. The struggle with this foe is no
mere contest of formulated logic; IL is one
that comes home to mems hearts and Ia
their business; it involves, in brief, the
very foundations OF human society; for, II
there be no knowledge Of God there can be
no adequate sanction for law-no obliga-
tion TO duty. The nature of God is the
ground Of all moral distinctions. 1t is thai
which makes universal and eternal th'

POOR ECONOMY.

How Fair Dealing Proved to BE tho Best
Policy In the End.
Joe Willett and Sam Day kept rival
peanut stands on opposite corners of
busy city street, but this did not prevent
their being very good friends. They
usually walked home together when the
labors Of the day were over, and one
never had anything particularly nice for
lunch that he did not run across the
street to share It with the other. But
there was a good deal Of difference in
the character of the two boys, for while
Joe was always frank and honest in
everything he said and did, Sam was in
clined TO be little mean and under
handed. He didn't believe that honesty
was always the best policy, and he used
to tell Joe so very often. M
One day, when Sam had just filled
his roaster full Of raw peanuts, he was
startled by a sudden burst of loud
music, and looking down the street he
saw procession coming, headed by a
brass band, the members OF which were
dressed in white and blue Behind the
chariot came elephants, ponies, cages
OF wild beasts, camels, and men and
women fantastically dressed, and riding
gayly caparisoned steeds.
"The circusl the circus!n cried Sam,
and Immediately forgot all about the
peanuts in the roaster. He kept turn
ing the crank il is true, but he, did II
mechanically, and his whole attention
was on the procession. 'N2H .N
When the last cage OF animals had
passed by, and the music had died away
Ia tho distance, the peanutswere burned
brown. Sans face grew very long as
he opened the roaster, and for a few
minutes he was almost stunned by the
calamity which had befallen him, for
he had never met with such heavy
loss before.

Az Atlantic rolls between them, and he
glories In the cross that bore him from the
old to the new.
My brotherl Do you glory in the cross
of CHRISTI Are you crucihed to the world
in which you once livedS Is that old world
crucifed to your "You are not your own;
you are bought with a price" Are you
doing half service for the old Master! To
glory in the cross of Christ is not ques-
tion of art, or architecture, or orthodoxy;
but of the application Of the principle of
sacrifice to the world and to the single
life. Enduring as seeing Him who is invis-
ible, esteeming the reproach of Christ
greater riches than the treasure of this
world.

coLoRED GLASS.

Tho Combination Of Agents by which
Many Shades Of Glass Are Made.
With people who are not acquainted
with the facts, it is matter frequently
Of great curiosity how glass is colored.
The principal factor in the coloring of
glass is the oxide of different metals.

BY the combination Of these agents q
great many shades of glass are made,
which are neither one or the other
color, but shades for fancy work or for
coloring wherever particular results are
desired for special purposes. The
process is entirely too long for us to de-
scribe, but 1t Is a very interesting one,
more especially If you have ever seen
the fine colored glasses made by the
French and German workmen, or more
particularly the Bohemian glass-blow-
ers in Austria. A great deal Of skill
is required, and only the most ex-
perienced workmen are employed in
the finer glasses, for the materials are
very expensive and the loss would be
very great il the result was not salts
factory, especially as compared with
the common colored glass even Of the
best quality. .-BostoD Budget

TELLING LIES.
ne Many Ways of Saying What Is Not
True-How n Lie Grows.

True-How n Lie Grows.
Of course none of my children ever
stoop so low as to tell an out and out
lie. 1t is only towards and unprinci-
pied people who do. But there are
other ways of saying what isn't so than
an out and out lie with the tongue,
Some children tell a lie without ever
opening their lips. For instance, MAN.
ma goes into the pantry and finds the
cake nibbled; she says to Mary, the cook,
in the presence of Charlie, the one who
is the culprit, ''there must be a mouse
in the pantry, the cake is nibbled. "
Charlie laughs in his sleeve and goes
out whistling, thinking that he could
catch the mouse for them if he wanted
TO. Now, Charlie has told lie just as
much as though mamma had asked him
a direct question an2he had denied it,
Then there is what is called pre-
varication, which is an evasion of the
truth, dodging of the question with
intent to give wrong impression by
leading off in another direction.
Equivocatlon is another form of false
hood, by using words of double mean
ing, which can be claimed as truth al
though they are meant to deceive.
Then there is white lie, q half-and-
half truth, and something which I'm
afraid a good many children are given
to speaking, and, my dears, this may
be the very worst kind of o lie, for a
right up and down lie can be met and
killed, but white lie is not so easily
dealt with. and often leads to great
deal of trouble. As you grow older,
dears, you will understand better the
lying that | have called prevarication
and equivocation; but now you can
all be truthful both in word and act.
Always stick closely to the truth, never
mind if it does place you in disgrace; i
you have done naughty thing own Il
up and take the consequences brayely
determining never to do the wrong act
again. but never be coward enough tc

The Gross of Christ the Only Thing
= in Which to Glory. =
Are You Cruclded to the World In which
You Once Lived?--Is That Old World
Crucified to You?-Whither
Are You Drifting?

The following excellent sermon was re-
Gently preached by Rev. o. p. Clifford,
pastor of Warren Avenue Baptist Church,
Boston, Mass. Following is the text;
But far be II from me to glory, save in the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ through which
the world hath been cruched unto me, and
unto the world.-Gdldtfdns Ut: IA Iieotscd YER
siOn.)
"Far be it from me to gloryW mol Paul
does not say that. 1t is natural to glory;
every man glories in something. The
wrong comes when the object gloried in is
wrong. The object in which you glory re-
veals and confirms your character; reveals
1t by showing what ranks highest in your
thought, confirms it by reaction. In what
do you glory; of what do you boast? Tell
me that, and will tell you the kind of man
you ae. a ~ q
Some glory in ply sieal strength. Their
ideal deliverer is modern Samson.
Breadth of back, strength of sinews, mus
cular might are ths grandest things in the
world. The most attractive man in Amer.
lea to-day, in certain circles, is the cham
pion pugilist. Others glory in mental
breadth and strength. The body is but a
means, throne on which the intellect sits
supreme, burden so far as it interferes.
Others glory in some talent, artistic or mu :
sical; each man glores in something. The
dirty, naked savage in his war paint and
scars, the child Of civilization in his clothes,
the merchant in his bargains the architect
in his buildings, the orator in his orations,
the politician in his plans, down deep in
every life is hidden spring of glorying.
Many glory in ancestry; everything is in
the past tense; the golden age is behind
the beauty of their .lay was in the sunrise;
the founder of the family did some great
thing, and his memory is sacred. With the
Chinese this Is religion; with some Amer
leans, q substitute for religion. On the
other hand, many glory in their children
The parents never did anything but rear q
boy or girl who has done something, all the
family life blooms and fruits in the sue
cessful junior member.
The people among whom Paul lived ant
wrought, gloried in Abraham; their Goo
was the God of Abraham. The stream o.
national life was traced back through tn,
centuries to Ur, Of the Chaldees; the jew
pleaded the promises made to, the covenan
made with, Abraham. Circumcision wa
the appointed seal, and so they gloried il
that. The Jews converted to Christ, in
sisted upon circumcision, gloried in IL
Saul of Tarsus gloried in Abraham, and il
the circumcision. Paul the Apostle glorie'
in the Cross s-a curious thing to glory Il
eighteen centuries ago. Since Constan
tines visision and the conversion of tn
church to Him, the cross has been the OBJ
ject Of glory. Before that time, it was th
symbol of disgrace, the emblem Of shame
