stiff backed, cushionless chair stands by
the table. Around the walls are rows Of
book shelves ana files of newspapers.

preach this every day in the year he
would be just the man for the Uni
versalists to send as missionary to
China. His text is in these words !:
''For God so loved the world that he
gave his only begotten Son." ''No text
in the Bible" said he, $50 inspires one
with hope and confluence as this. God
loved the world; it makes every man
his son, and every woman his daughter.
He is indeed the father of all; every
man is my brother, and this text takes
these short arms Of mine and puts them
around the whole world. When he
asks where is the store house of Gods
love, my answer is, it is in the heart of
God. From this great reservoir every
wife gets her love for her husband;
every husband his love for his wife;
every child its love for its parent, and
every parent his love for his child.
From it all human affection flows and
we have the right to interpret the
former by the latter. When 1 have
listened to some sermons 1 have been
led to believe that God was mad at
some people, and sometimes got mad at
the whole concern. have been led to
believe that God hated us all, and was
only waiting to get us into some tight
place and do US all up. 1 have been
taught to believe that if Christ had not
stepped in between divine justice and
the doom Of the sinner and thereby
purchased the divine love, the penalty
would have fell upon our own heads.

Jewels i'm the Fire.

From the jewellers Weekly.
Some OF the recent heavy 1ewelry fires, in which
many thousand dollars worth Of precious stones
were saved from destruction, suggest the question
as to which stones can and which cannot pass un-
injured through the heat of conhagrauon. Many
people believe that diamond can be heated white

advise them TO try the experiment too often.

a white film and looked like pieces OF alum. After
passing through the pOlishers hands they were

that a second heating would have made this still
