DID JOB PROPHEsY THE STEAM -ESGTNE1
There is an old-time joke about the German
professor who wrote an elaborate description
of the camel, though he had never seen one,
nor even read a description. When asked how
he did il he replied that he elaborated IL from
the depths of my inner consciousness" Mr..
samuel o. Trudell has written book to prove
that that bOiIiuilieted old patriarch Job did the
same with regard TO the steam engine, in the
intervals when he was not seraping himself
with potsherds, or discussing the mighty
problems Of life and death. Mr.. TrudelPs
book is entitled, "a Wonderful Discovery in
the Book of job" and he succeeds much better
than biblical and Shakspsreau discoveries
usually DO in establishing his point. In brief,
he asserts that the words which the translators
turned into "bohemoth," "leviathan," and
"whale," really refer to tho coming mighty
force in mechanics. To begin with, he changes
the 18th verse of the XLth chapter, so as to
read:
Behold, now, with great heat he
will consume fodder as well as cattle do.
In the 18th verse he finds an allusiOn to the
smOkcstack of an engine in:

Be Above Suspicion.

1t is gratifying feeling among
many that their lives are above sus>
picion. Yet how many good people
on account of circumstantial sur
roundings have had the fingers Of
unjust suspicion directed toward
them. Carbuncles, unyielding sores,
pimples on the face, rough skin hav>
ing an eruptive appearance, etc, are
in the eyes of so many regarded sus-
piciously as indicating the presence
of some contagious blood disease, and
pointed questions asked that are pro-
ductive of considerable annoyance.
These skin blemishes and eruptive
tendencies of course find their origin
in the blood, but, not necessarily
the result of contagion. The blood
may have become impure on account
of colds and exposure, improper food,
weak digestion, urinary disorders,
etc. However, it is well to remove
the unnatural condition of the blood
and the flesh by prompt use of DR.

LOYALTY TO CHRIST.

The followers of Christ are mem~
bers ola kingdom, and their first duty
is loyalty to their King. All believ-
ers by the act Of faith come into per-
sonal relationship to the Savior, and
acknowledge him as henceforth their
rightful sovereign. They renounce
all other allegiance and pledge hence
forth their loyal obedience to his COM
mands. Nothing against Christ but
everything for Christ, becomes the
rule of life. This is implied in every
acceptance of Christ as Lord and
Saviour. There is no lack of proft S.
siOns of loyalty, but there is, we fear,
a sad failure to live up to the profess
sion, and much of this arises from a
failure to grasp what loyalty implies
and what is needful unto proving its
genuiness. Loyalty to Christ differs
in an essential respect from loyalty
to country and the government, to
home and family, to self and ones
work. To all these one owes loyalty,
but in certain sense they are on a
parity, the duty owed to one is ball
anced by the duty owed to others,
and one may sometimes hesitate
when they come in conflict as to
which has claim to highest con-
sideration. 1t is not so with our duty
to Christ-that is supreme-it is above
all. and this, largely, because it EN-.
braces all. Every other duty and
obligation is subordinate to allegiance
to Christ, and if rightful, will fit into
the life as part of the duty owed tc
him. A great defect of Christian liv,
ing is the failure to discern this fact
and the putting of duty to Christ on /
parity with other duties. There i!
no want of clearness in the teaching
of Christ and the Scriptures-"he tina
loveth father or mother more thar
me is not worthy of me-" to be hi
disciple one must leave all and follow
only him. He is "the Head over all, ,
"the blessed and only Potentate, tn,
King Of kings and Lord Of lords,
"Of him and through him and unit,
him are all things" but there is il
the practical application of this trutl
a woful shortening. Self, and fami
ly, and business, to say nothing 0
country, if not put above, are far to-
frequently put on par with duty t
God and service to Christ. Religion
is made merely one of the obligation
of life, instead of The one. Loyalty t

This is what Christ means whe

everything is included in that chic

Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1890-10-25


loyalty is made a sentiment, heart |
motion, a subtle, spiritual experience
difficult to analize, and So subject to
moods as make it most unreliable.
A personal union to Christ and living
communion with him lies, indeed, at
the very basis of membership in his
kingdom, and is essential to loyal
service; but the proper expression
and the only trustworthy proof of
loyalty to Christ consists in actual
obedience, in the faithful doing of
Christ's work. 1t is merely a relig-
ious sentimentality which talks of
love to Christ and processes bound~
less loyalty, and yet does nothing to
upbuid his Kingdom, or hasten the
prevalence Of truth and righteous
ness.
Loyalty to Christ means loyalty to
principles and laws which govern his
kingdom, to the spiritual characteris~
tics illustrated in his life, to the work
begun by the King, but carried on by
his subjects. To be loyal to Christ,
one must be loyal to truth, to right
eousness, and to works of benefcence.
There is only one way Of attesting
loyalty it is in doing the work
nearest at hand, and in the way and
by the instruments ordained by our
divine Sovereign. 1t has pleased the
Commander to engage his soldiers in
a battle for the conquest of the world.
1t is life and death struggle. 1t is
not to be won by guerilla warfare, but
by such deliberate, careful, and we'll
organized efforts as give success on
other battlefields. Independent fight
ing is in this contest largely waste
of energy, 1t is beating the air. Christ
is head of an ORGANIZED kingdom, not
of mere aggregate of individuals.
His host is made up of divisions ana
regiments, and loyalty to these.
Loyalty to Christ means, therefore,
loyalty to the Church of which the
believer is a part-to the individual
: church through which one becomes
enrolled as member of Christ's
kingdom-and equally to the denomi-
: nation through which the aggressive
l power of the individual churches is

God knows-ah, yes what countless things
Are hidden from this human sight,
That we can only leave to Him
Till dawns the glorious Morning Light,
Unnumbered graves on unknown hills,
Like that on lonely Nebo's mount,
Forgotten or unknown by man,
And only God Himself keeps count.
God knows-ah, yesl the mysteries
That weary many an aching heart
BY Him are seen and understood,
Who reads each secret, hidden part.
He knows just why this good must go,
He knows just why this i'll must stay,
We cannot know. We only Crust" 4
Remembering that God knows the way.
God knOws-ahi yes! what comfort it's
To know the eyet that never sleeps,
Sees all that Island every life,
In ever watchful memory keeps.
He knows the hopes yet unfulfled,
He knows the plans-the loss, the gain;
lie reads each thought of every soul, 4
He feels it all-the joy. the pain. 4
God knows-ah, yes! He knows the heart
He looks beyond that seen by man,
And reads. the motive pure and true
That lived before mistakes began.
He sees the aim aud not the deed,
And "wroDg" in mans sight oft MAJ CLAIM
From Gods just judgment the swell done
For thou hast labored In My Name"
God knows-ah, yes our Father knows
The last one of His children's needs,
lie knows the want of every heart
Far better than the heart that pleads.
He knows all things and this we know,
"He doeth all things for the best"
Then gladly we can leave all there
Safe in our Fathers care to rest.
