Trouble I'm Israel.

National sin had brought national punish
ment and threatened national ruin. Elijah,
directed by Jehovah's spirit. had rebuked
both king and kingdom, by locking the heav-
ers with the hand Of prayer: For three
years and six months no drop Of rain or dew
had fallen. Those three years were mostly
spent in a bootless search for the weird Tish-
bite, whom the Lord had hidden. At last he
meets the naughty, angry Ahab In the dusty
highway. cart thou he that troub-
leth IsrealT' snorted the king, in q
paroxysm of rage. All unmindful Of his sin
in leading Israel to worship Baal and Ash
teroth, which had brought this great calamity
upon the land, he was cursing the prophet
who had the courage to speak out In reproof.
With placid dignity the prophet replied: II
have not troubled Israel; but thou and thy
fathers house, in that ye have forsaken the
commandments OF the Lord, and thou hast
followed Baal," Il Kings 1S: IT,. 49,: Who
was the cause Of the trouble, the faithful
prophet of Righteousness, or the unfaithful,
wicked, adolatrous monarch.
But history repeats itself. There are still
sinners in Zion. These disturb the peace Of

pastor, or editor, says reproving word,

Ghoulish Practice OF Egyptians

A disclosure exceedingly unconforta1
BILE for the relatives and friends of the
English soldiers killed in Egypt has
been made by the captain of the Austrian
vessel Dub, which arrived at Aberdeen,
Scotland, the other day, loaded with
bones for fertilizing purposes. The cap
tain said he had got his load from Alex
andria, and that the bones all came from
Cairo. He thought they were the bones
of giraffes, antelopes, etc., but he was
obliged personally to watch the loading
of his ship and reject complete human
skeletons that were brought to him.
The natives were very indignant at his
refusal to accept the bones of Christians,
and said it was their custom to dig on
battle fields and pull the bodies out OF
shallow trenches. It has been found
that in spite of the captains precautions
the cargo of the Dub contains the bones
of many English soldiers, the natives
having resorted to the simple method OF
pulling the skeletons to pieces, ond pre-
senting them minus heads and hands,
when they found complete frameworu
to be unaccepted.-Nsu York Sun.

Toplady's Convention on the Lords
Day.

TopIady's Conrersion ON the Lords
Day.
More than q hundred years have passed
since young man In England, who belonged
to pious family, but was himself, far from
God, was to find God by strange means
he had been the child of many prayers, but
to all the entreaties of his pious mother
and others be answered by inwardly resolv-
ing not to become a Christian. When he
and his mother were on q visit to Ireland, on
the Lords day, they went to a place where
good man was going to preach. He was
very earnest in his sermon, and put the
question to the unsaved present, whether
they would give themselves to Christ or re-
main rebelsl Every time the
young man said in his own heart,
II will not yield, I will not
yield" His heart was hardened against
Gods grace, and at the close Of the sermon
it seemed to be harder than ever 1t had been.
When the sermon was finished, the minister
gave out hymn. 1t begins:
"Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded; sick and sore."
The congregation, stirred by the earnest
sermon, sung the hymn with their whole
heart. And what sermon could not do,
the singing Of the hymn did. It broke the
hard, unyielding heart. He found God and
gave himself to him. He lived to be an hon.

TEMPERANCE
Watch the Bows,

WaCCn Cne oOyS.
They laid him down with happy smiles
In his tiny, curtained bed,
They gently smoothed the pillow fair
Where reposed his little head,
And loving words from every one
Gave greeting of joy to the first-born son.
They watched around him day by day,
Till the little limbs grew strong;
They taught in simple, childlike words
or the ways Of right and wrong,
And loving hearts kept record sure
OF each baby action SO sweet and pure.
They laid him down, with faces grave,
In his coffin, cold and dread;
No loving hand to spread the pail
Ger the strangely silent dead.
No word Of hope-in speeches. awe
They gazed on the face they should see ne
more.
Far, far from home, in foreign soil,
He was hid from mortal eye;
No record Of his life on earth,
But it's written up on high
The story of drunkards shame,
His wasted life and his blighted fame.
Marietta A. Cdsseu
