Naryinx Value of Gold Dnst.

The value Of gold dust was not known tc
the earlier miners in California, Marshall
and those who were with him at the saymill
race had never seen gold in its virgin state
before the discovery. The first gold sold at
Colona, it is said, only brought s. an ounce,
but 1t afterward rose to SIG, at which figure
it remained for some years Sellers and buy
ers did not for long time recognize any diff
ference in the value of different dust. aWhat
are you paying for dust to-dayf' was the
question often asked by the miners of the
dust buyers. Thus, in those times no more
difference was recognized in the quality of
different gold dust than is to-day recognized
IN the quality Of different sand or sawdust
Buyers mixed their dust together when they
sent it to the mint, and paid an average price
for it all This was very good thing for the
miner who had poor dust and very unfair to
those who had dust of the best quality. --
Afterward it was found that the dust as it
was taken from the earth varied greatly in
value Some Of it according to mint re-
turns, was worth even Us low as 50 an ounce,
aud some was worth $40 and more This is
on account of The fact that greater or less

yellow dust is not always the best in quality,
as might ordinarily be supposed. Some of
the purest gotl ever mined has been almost

The Son OF COP.

az PLATE now declares his willingness
for the Jews to take JESUS and execute him
themselves. Anything to get rid of the
bloody work and dispose of the worrying
case without taking upon himself the respon-
sibility. 'Take him and cruelty him your
selves, for find no crime in him." he i'm
patiently retorts to the cry of "Crucify."
The Jews answer, "We have a law, and by
that law he ought to die, because he made
himself COPS Son." To the high-priest and
council he had confessed himself to be the
CHRIST, tthe MEssrAH) the Son of COP. Upon
this charge they had condemned him for
blasphemy, and upon the same confession
had brought him to PLATE on the charge of
treason. In revealing the truth, JESUS con-
tinuously spoke of GoD as his Father. He
declared the Fathers word. He did the Fa-
theirs work. The Fathers spirit dwelt in
in him. He was the we'll beloved Son. He
pleased the Father. He did the Fathers
will. AS the Revelation of GOD he declared
the Divine Fatherhood. "As many as are
led by the Spirit of COP they are the sons of
Cop" {Romans viii. l4). JESUS was the one
Son of God perpetually led by his Spirit,
which he possessed without measure" The
Spirit of Truth that accompanies His word
reveals the same Divine relationship to all
who receive it. John i. 12). "The Spirit
itself testifes with our Spirit that we are the
children of COP" (Romans viii. 16). The
Son of COP was also the Son of man. He
reveals to the children of humanity their true
relation and inheritance as the children of
GoD. He came to call us to consciousness,
and therefore to an experience of our Divine
relationship. The children of GoD, we ought
to live like His children, be obedient to His
word, and enjoy His Divine favor.

THE TEACHERS PART IN A SUCCESSFUL
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
BY AsHLEIGH G. HALLIwELL.
(Englewood.)

There is no teaching until the pupil is
brought into the same state or principle in
which you are; a TRANSMISSION takes place;
he is you and you are he; there is teaching;
and by no unfriendly chance or bad compa-
ny can he ever quite lose the benefit.-Em-
erson.
In a successful children's church there
should be the influence of a strong, sympa-
thetic pastor. There must be well balanced,
energetic, enthusiastic superintendent. The
pastor will encourage each and all in the no.
BILE, but often trying work, giving special at
tention to those in the transition stage, who
feel too old for the Sunday and not old
enough for the church, and SO are apt to
drift away. The superintendent must have
quick perception, keen Judgment of human
nature and great tact, that he may not only
secure and retain those who are good teach
ers and do not know it, but kindly yet faith
fully weed out those who are willing but in
competent to teach.
But those who come directly in contact
with the children, those who act not only as
lIublcC5 Dub PhpOOIo VI Ouh VI
row, must realize that upon them more than
upon any others rests the responsibility.
Teachers, like poets, are "born, not made. "
There are many dear, good souls more than
willing to make the sacrifices necessary to
successful teaching; but willingness and con-
secration, though essential, are not sufficient.
Not only love for, and understanding OF
children, but an ability to control and really
keep them, is necessary.
One may be a model of self department,
in most respects very ideal person, yet I'M
able to lead children in his own safe and cor
rect pathway. While always essential, the
act of setting a perfect personal example is

very painful illness, John o. Athey, aged 70
years and months. Mr.. Athey was born

about six months old, his parents removed
