worth living in the great aggregate.
and begin inguiring whether our per-
sonaI lives are worth living; or, rather,
let us cease from ali questioning on the
subject and give our whole attention to
making our lives worth living. This
we can do. The debate over the value
of life concerns some things which are
beyond our knowledge, and we can
afford TO adjourn the controversy for
few thousand years. A Heavenly edu-
cation may fit us for reasoning about
questions of that kind. Our earthly
education, if it be good for any thing, is
good because it has qualified US to live
well, to live worthily, to live Divinely.
That is the end, the aim, the issue of ali
fruitful knowledge and study and learn
ing. Let us then change the questio' 4
and ask ourselves what we can do to
make our lives better and of more W erth
to US. Let us be sure that their ealue
depends upon the measure in viii eh they
are lifted into the sight of God nd into
commun on with His Son, Jes as Christ.
Let us be sure that we can nake them
of increasing worth; that fhe va!we OF
them may increase in US Ceay BY vessr,
and that at the last we nav come to the
harvest like a shock of corn fully
ripe. IN, w. Christian Adcocale.

There are several other means OF getting

well soddan with the acid. 1t may have

warts occurring in numbers may
usually be got rid of certainly and pain

moist with a lotion made by adding
two drains of dilute nitric acid to Il pint

used for warts, but its action is, as a
rule, too superficial to be of much serv-

used. The solution is male by disSolv-
