Christ Gave the Werid a New ana Divine
Ilaa.


Idea
The Gospel means 70 conquer the
world; and it will do it. This is its
lofty ambition; this is its Divine des-
tiny. In this respect it stands anique
among the religions Of the world No
form Of idolatry ever aimed at univcr-
sslity. To worship the God Of the
grove, the fountain. the locality, was
all that was contemplated by heather
religions. The disciples of many forms
Of superstition did not wish them to be-
come universal Universally would
rob them Of the charm Of their sweet
exelusivenesS They were for their
set, " their country. their race. They
were local, ethnie, or at most, national
Judaism was nQt aggressively
missionary. its mfeeT outlook, as
Or. Hanna suggests, were mis-
understood. disregarded, disliked.
Christ found the Jews the most narrow
and bigoted Of all people. The Jew
was the religious Pharisee, despising
all others religiously; the Greek was
the physical Pharisee, despising all
others physically. The Roman was
tolerant, not because Of charity, but
because of Indifference. Rome knew
nothing of tenderness. Christ gave the
world a new, sublime, Divine idea.
He sent His apostles out TO preach
religion equally needed by and equally
adapted to all races, climes and ceu-
turies. This is the most sublime idea
ever proclaimed TO the world. II is
matchless, peerless, glorious. Think
of the amazement with which
the 60 We into all the world;
preach the Gospel unto every erea-
ture" fell upon the ears of the dis
ciples! Their world was a narrow strip
of land; this new world is the globe.
We have become familiar with the idea,
but moments reflection gives it its
marvellous proportions. No philosopher
of Greece or Rome, or Of the imagina-
tive east, ever dreamed of such a
thought. That one idea gives Christ
the foremost place in the ranks Of the
worlds thinkers. Where did He, If only
Galilean youth, get the idea? Ex-
plain that, if you deny His divinity.
Are you thinker? Here is a problem.
Its solution involves divinity in tho
Great Teacher.
Away over the hills of Judea and
Samaria went the apostles Of the cross.
The islands of the blue Egean were
stepping-stones for the feet of "the
sacramental host of Gods elect" The
cross was their weapon. Hoary super
stitions tottered and tumblea. Nations
of highest culture, and nations of wild
est barbarism bowed at Jesus feet.
With the cross they battered down the
strongest walls of opposition; with the
cross they pointed the way to glory and
God. They revolutionized literature,
architecture, religion, the world. Jean
Paul Richter was right when he said:
"With His pierced hands, Christ has
lifted empires off their hinges, turned
the stream of centuries out of its chan
mel, and He still governs the ages. ~

Why HE NOUNS
A TOunE Ma who has Lest F.ith ln Ha-
manity,


Among the many aequaintances OF
the Growler residing mp on the South
Side is 3 young man who is entitled to
q groWl because he is minus a pair Of
light Trousers. a figured white vest,
dress shirt a white lawn tie and a pair
Of cuffs His loss came about in this
wise: Not long ago he gave q whist
party at which refreshments were 70 be
served In casting about for some one
to serve them he thought Of the eolored
youth who cid odd jobs about the
house, and he proceeded 10 question
him. Did he know any thing about
waiting on table9 He did, as he had
once hustled dishes in some Of the lead
ing hotels. Would he hustle dishes sim
gle-handed at the whist party3 He
wOuld-for the usual consideration.
And so he was engaged The eventful
evening arrived and the colored youth
turned up. He spent the afternoon in
q desperate wrestle with few tons Of
coal and barrel and he hardly looked
in trim to serve the ice-eream and cake
to genteel whist party. The young
host took him in hand and effected a
great transformation. When the color
ed servitor descended TO the kitchen he
wore a grin that resembled two sAelves
in croekery store. His lavender trou-
sers were 4 trife brief in the legs and
an inch OF two in the waist, but he fig
ured white vest made amends for these
discrepancies and the expanse Of shirt
front, topped by the lawn tie and sup
plemented by the cuffs, had produced a
very satisfactory waiter. He acquitted
himself admirably, though inclined to
be little gallus with his tray, to the
imminent danger Of fine china. After
the festivities he was given place to
sleep and he departed at an early hour
the next morning The young host
consulted the hired girl as to his where
abOuts when he came down stairs
'Shure he's gone, already, sir" was
the reply to his query.
"Did he leave any clothes?"
"No, he did not, sir; he wore them
away"
"What did he say?
"He grinned and said; The boys will
laugh when they see me in these"
And the colored servitor has not visit
ed the neighborhood since. If this
catches his eye and he will return the
buttons on the vest he may keep the
rest of the outfit The next darky the
young host dresses up will be padlocked
to his clothes with bicycle chain. =

THE WORK GOES ON.

God Is at the Helm, and His Plans Are
Sure of Accomplishment.
On memorial tablet of the Wesleys
in Westminster Abbey is inscribed the
Legend God buries His workmen, but
their work goes on" 1t is true that
every work which is truly the Lords
will go on, whatever changes there
may be in the ranks of the workers
When Moses was buried in a sepulcher,
the place of which none knew but God,
Joshua was raised up to lead the hosts
of Israel into the promised land. When
the Saviour left the world He commits
stoned men to continue the work He
had begun. So it has always been, and
so it will always be. When the Master
calls His servants to rest and
reward, their work will go on.
The relation of the worker to the
work is subject to change, but the rela-
ton of God to the work and the worker
is forever the same. He is pleased to
use His willing servants in such exalt-
ed ways that they become workers to-
gether with Him." and upon such a
foundation the work will surely abide.
It's failure is an impossibility. Any man
is essential to a righteous cause only so
long as the Lord uses him. II the work
man is removed to another field,
whether of service or reward, the work
will go on as surely as that it is the
Lords cause. There is no room for the
worker to magnify his own Importance
neither is there room for apprehensions
of work failing. The work and the
worker are in the hands of the Almighty
and His plans for both shall not fail in
their accomplishment-Young Mems

A HUNGRY TYPEWRITER.

She Lunches for Ten Cents '. hon Nobody
Treats Hcr.
Places called dairies are numerous
in New York. There is one in Nassau
street that the working girls patronize.
They are waited on by working girls,
invariably dressed, summer and winter,
in stiffiy starched prints. There is
sort of reciprocity between patron and
waitress.
"I'm feeling flush to-day" says the
patron, "guess I'll have stew"
That's where your heads level"
says the waitress. 'Take clam stew.
know it's good to-day. caught the
cook putting a clam in It."
But the patron chooses instead q not
unsavory connection Of scraps of beef
with potatoes and onions, which costs
fifteen cents Sometimes the girl is
rich enough to add to this wedge Of
pie and that makes her check FIVE cents
more.
There are other restaurants where
the prices are q little higher. These
are patronized largely by the girls who
do typewriting. The prices range from
ten to fifty cents for the various dishes.
A piece of roast beef and a glass of
claret can be had for forty cents. The
girls who go in pairs may order meat
pie for twenty-five cents, which answers
for two. Now and then, however, the
typewriter has very elaborate lunch
con. The men who employ typewri-
ters are proverbially philanthropic in
| this regard. 1t must be philanthropy

the young women who attend to their
correspondence to lunch with them.
Then possibly she has reed birds and
white wine at the ,Savarin. But per-
haps it isn't philanthropy after all, for
| the next day her meat pie seems, some
how, to have lost it's flavor
The girl with sense of humor goes
to q Park row coffee house and is
amused. She gives her order and hears
| the waitress shrek: "Beef one; draw
one in the dark" which interpreted
means, beef and beans and cup of
black coffee; or perhaps she wants
wheat cakes and then the waitress de-
mands: "a stack of browns" Posi-
bly, she desires eggs turned over, which
are known at this cafe as white
wings"
While she waits for her luncheon to
be brought she reads the texts that are
displayed on the walls. One young
woman, who had neither the fear OF
the Lord nor of the proprietor before
her eyes, took her pencil one day and
wrote upon the wall: "Talse little
wine for thy stomach's sake" 'Let us
eat and drink and tomorrow we'll die, y

CHINESE NUMERALS.
The Methods Adopted by Mongo-
lian Laundrymen.
John Runs Out of Figures When Ho
Reaches the Hundred Mark and
Has to Resort to Words
to Keep Count.

The Chinese laundryman is as rule
very uncommunlcative individual and
does not make any great effort to enter
into more intimate relations with
strangers. However, the almond-eyed
celestial with whom Brooklyn Eagle
man came in contact proved to be
little more free spoken than his coun-
trymen generally are, possibly because
he had mastered the language better
than most Cinnamon. He seemed ready
to answer any Interrogation that might
be put to him, and In response to an in
quiry willingly explained the system Of
laundry checks in universal use among
Cinnamon. To begin with, he illus
trated how the checks were written
with brush-like pen with India ink
on the red or green slips of paper.
Usually red paper is used for bundles of
collars and cuffs alone, and the green
checks for bundles Of laundry composed
of different articles. The Chinese sys-
tenn of counting is similar to our own
that is, there are nine figures, but
there is another character for ten which
resembles a cross. The other nine
figures are of curious formation, easily
recognizable as being Chinese charac-
ters. The /, Q and 8 are represented
by horizontal lines, the same as
Roman numerals, except that the lat
ter are vertical. The rest are of Pc
culiar formation impossible to describe.
Now comes the point Of difference be-
tween the Arabic system of notation
and that of the disciples of Confucius.
Instead of using the first nine figures
combined with the figure 10 to express
numbers greater than 10. the Chinese
have different characters, which with
the cross hoy are equivalent to what
we call our "teens." Then the null
tiples of 10 are formed by the use of the
same characters as for the teens, but
the cross for 10 Is placed to the right of
the other character. There still remain
all the other numbers beyond 90, except
the multiples of ten, ito be provided Tor.
These are formed by combining the
character used for the multiple of 10 and
the character denoting the figure which,
If added to the multiple, will make the
desired number, except that, in COM
bining the two, the cross denoting the
10 Is omitted.
For example, In. writing 40 char
acter resembling our x is placed to the
left of the cross (lo), and to make As
the x and three lines, vertical in this
case, are used. emitting tho cross used
In writing 20. Thus Il win be seen that
they viii have eighteen characters
while we have but ten, and our system
