What innuenty can Ioslst the onward
sweep Of this wider revelation through
kingdoms and nations?
Science has become the prophet Of
this lost revelation of God.
Science will yet become the conquer
ing missionary Of the cross.
China, hating foreigners, must be-
come independent of thom. This she
can only do by the study of the sciences
by which her armies were defeated
The study of science must destroy the
superstitions Of centuries, and 80 will
science do for Christianity what no mis-
sionary ordained by bishop or presby-
terry has ever yet been able to accom-
plish. Every truth discovered by phi
losopher, inventor or scientist is so
much Of God introduced as conquer
ing force in human society.
AS we emerge from these great build
ings that point their prophetic fingers
toward the future, breathless, with un-
covered head, we feel that we stand
awestruck upon the threshold of a new
world.
Third-To improve the environment
OF man is to mako possible more and
more normal life. A normal human
life must bo righteous life If the in
carnation of God in the man Jesus
means anything real.
The dream Of tho ancient alchemist
was that he would find at last the liquid
or gas which would restore youth and
perpetuate life through tho centuries.
Professor Sanderson, the great biologist,
has exploded this dream by showing
that the processes of structure are not
attributable to liquid diffusion, but to
the specific energy Of the cells. But
the alchemist's dream is actually being
fulfilled before our eyes in the miracles
Of science and the continuous addition
Of power to man. Travel promises TO
be so swift and inviting that he may
be practically omnipresent, The i'm
provement Of tho press and consequent
diffusion of intelligence and focusing
Of the wUfld's history daily has given
him practical omniscience. When the
problems of cooperative production
and distribution shall have been solved
and we have entered upon their solu-
tion-there only remains the great do
mestic problem between US and social
redemption.
A MARVEL OF COOKING.
We read over and over again, with
increasing amazement, the description
of the electrical kitchen. Listen:
By process of imbedding wire in
enamel on the reverse side Of iron the
current, that otherwise would change
to light or power, according to its appli-
cation, becomes heat. An ingenious
box, lined with asbestus to retain heat,
lighted by incandescent lamps to show
the progress of the dishes to the house
keeper and fitted with glass windows
to facilitate this process, is seen in op.
Grafton, baking a fat leg Of mutton. A
temperature of $50 degrees is secured,
and the meat is cooked to a nicely,
while the exterior Of the electric oven
| is cool, clean and devoid of the discom-
forts of a kitchen. The cook places her
meat in the oven, pulls a switch and
gives herself no further uneasiness until
the time is up for completion. Wires,
coiled under a steel plate, are boiling
water in glass bottles, and others ap-
piled. to- little soapstone griddles are
cooking pancakes. The laundry is pro-
vided for also, and the woman who
| starts in to iron by turning on the cur
rent to her wired flatirons can go ahead
all day without perspiring over a hot
fire. A handsome table shows the ap.
plication of electricity in its three
| phases--light, power and heat. The
table is designed for a sick chamber,
and when the current is turned on an in,
candescent lamp is lighted, a small
stove is heated, and little fan distrib
utes the warmth all over the room.
What message to bring to tiret
housewife and worn mothersl
"She made home happyY' These few words
| read
Within q churchyard, written on q stone;
No name, no date, the simple words alone
Told me the story of the unknown dead.
| A marble column lifted high its head,
Close by, inscribed to one the world ha
known.
But, ah! that lonely grave with moss DER
| grown
Thrilled me fer more than his who armies led
'eshe made homo happy" Through the long
| sad years
The mother toiled and never stopped to rest
Until they crossed her hands upon he
breast
| And closed her eyes, no longer dim with tearR
The simple record that she left behind
Was grander than the soldiers, to my mind
When immortal lovo shall bo clothed
with such power, what poets heart car
dream the Joys Of the home that shal
be built?
When flashing light and cleaning
steel shall do the work of overwrough
nerve and muscle, hand and heart, whi
can fix the limit of the nobler race thei
shall then be born?
