ON BIBLE STUDY.
Prof. William Harper Monop-
liked the Morning Session.

LIKED the Morning Session.
The early morning prayer meeting
yesterday was dispensed with. but the
forenoon session was held much earlier
than usual. Soon after s o'clock the
great army Of Endeavorers began to
gather in the hitherto empty hall, and
by the time that the usual song service
began, there was a good crowd pres
ent. although every seat was not taken.
Many of the delegates were tired yes
terday morning because. of the many
meetings of Saturday, and the trip
out to the lake and back,
and as the exercises at the hall were to
be followed by addresses at the various
churches, a great many availed them
selves of the opportunity of getting a
good rest, and thus were absent from
the $50 services.
The feature of the morning session
was the Bible talk of President Will
IAN r. Harper, of the University of
Chicago. He took for his subject the
prophecy of Nahum, concerning the
fall of NineVeh. Before beginning his
address DR.. Harper had distributed
throughout the audience leaflets con-
tanning an outline of the book study he
was 10 give and various references to
the texts. His address consisted prin-
cipally of the reading of the texts and
few brief but terse remarks concerning
each one He divided the subject into
four different heads. namely. Intro
ductory." The Sermon of Nahum"
1.-The Essential IDEAS" and "Peda-
gOgical Applications"
In lhe first part he briefly dwelt upon
the Old Testament prophets who pre-
ceded Nahum, and gave short sketch of
the history of Assyria and the surround
ing nations at the time of Nahum. The
sermons of Nahum, to the number Of
four. were taken up, and especial en-
phasis was put upon the one describing
the fall of Nineveh. the means, manner
and cause. From the four sermons
mentioned he drew forth several essen
tial ideas. One was as to the cOncep-
ton presented of God, as to His holiness,
mercy and power.
DR.. Harper is a thorough Bible stu
dent, and his talk was for the purpose of
illustrating the best way of taking up
Bible work. His wish was to interest
the thousands who were present at the
convention, and thus increase the inter-
est manifested in Bible study all over
the land. In the closing words of his
address, which lasted nearly an
hour, he pointed oul the great
possibilities of Bible study, its impor-
lance and the satisfaction that would he
derived from it. He thought that it
was necessary for the right compreheu-
sion of any chapter or verse IN book to
study the whole book. 1t was necessary
to an understanding of the relati on sus-
tanned by one writer or per iod to that of
another, as it was also for the apprecia-
ton of the gradual growth of divine
revelation. The whole address was in
teresting and to the point, and those
present carried away with them many
interesting and valuable points in re-
gard to the best manner of studying the
Bible and understanding it.

She was just a little curly-headed
school girl who wore one shabby dress
such a long time that the children made
fun of her when she came and went

Louisa's new dress was not new, and
she took pains to announce the fact to
the school in a few scOrnful comments.
Made over? Yes, indeed, and so
old-faShioned. We could see the old
stitches. Some one has given it to
her"
Louisa heard and cried herself sick.
The teacher knew nothing of 1t. She
was doing sums on the blackboard and
humping knowledge into the children's
heads.
"Please, teacher, a girls tainted"
This unusual announcement reused
all, even the lethargic teache , into a
show Of interest. The girl was Louisa,

1t is unfortunate that real art is not

THE MASTERS HosFoRD.

The beautiful children whose faces
are shown above. testify in their sturdy
health to the great good of lactated food.
Their father, Mr.. r. Hosford, Danville,
H., writes: "From the first day of our
use of lactated food, we could see its
merit. Baby did not throw up its food
as it did when we used other prepare
tons which We tried in vain."
"a babe of fourteen months was so
run down and weak that 1t could not sit
up alone. The doctor advised giving
barley water, and then prescribed
IS food and several other prepare
tions. At last the child was expected
to die any day from starvation. l gave
the father box of lactated food, which
was used, and now the child is entirely
well. The father is willing to make
affidavit that lactated food saved his
child's life"
Intelligent and careful parents who
are fortunate enough to know of lac
tated food, will not permit their chill
Gren to be without it. 1t is preventive
OF cholera infantum and bowel troubles,
and is a perfect food that makes and
keeps the little ones healthy, happy and
hearty.

Death Is master of lord and clown.
Close the coffin and hammer it down.
When nuts are brown and sere without
And white and plump within,
And juicy gourtls arc passed about.
And trickle down the chin;
When comes the reaper with his scythe,
And reaps and nothing leaves,
Oh. then it is that Death is blithe,
And sups among the sheaves.
Death! Deathl
Lower the coffin and slip the cord:
Death is master of clown and lord.
When logs about the house are stacked,
And next years hose is knit,
And tales are told and jokes are racked,
And fagots blaze and split;
Death sits down in the ingle nook,
Sits down and doth not speak;
But he puts his arm round the maid that+

And she tinglcs in the cheek.

Won Moltke's Capital of Ninety Years

Every great mans life is an example
from which instruction may be drawn,
and that Of Moltke shows the value of
temperance and exercise; not the exer-
else of pleasure, but the exercise of work.
He started in life with ninety years CAPT
tai in the bank, and his account was
never overdrawn. His allowance for a
day sufficed him for a day. He did not
by over indulgence and excess consume
his capital, and 80 he lived his ninety
years healthy, vigorous man. He
worked hard, but he slept easy, and the
reason why he did not die at threescore
years and ten, or even at fourscore years
was because he had something to do-a
potent element of long life. When a man
at sixty-fve or seventy says that his
work in this world is done, it is a charity
for nature to take him at his word and
give him his eternal rest.
Many men, perhaps most men, start in
life with ninety years capital in the
bank, but they overdraw and find them
selves vitality bankrupt at sixty or sixty
five. Few of them reach an end sc
