UNREAL CHRISTIANITY.
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper's Talk to Her
Bible Class.

Bible Class.
In the opening Of her Bible class yester-
day Mrs. Cooper said: 81 have received
several letters during the past few weeks
asking the conditions for membership In
this Bible class. In reply l would say.
There are no conditions whatever save the
desire to come. Everybody is welcome, no
matter of what denomination or religious
belief We are seeking to know the essen
tlal truths of religIon-loYe TO God and love
to man and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
as the savior of the world"
The lesson Of the day was based upon the
subject Physical and Social Hin ORANGES to
Religious Life" Religion" said the
teacher, must expect hard time of ii in
this world. Do not imagine that Christ had
an easy time in battling with wrong. Good
ness is hateful to evil. The one who stands
nearest you can help or hinder you most
One OF the greatest obstacles to religion is
unreal Christianity. Hypocrtes will have
vast deal to answer for in the general
adjustment Of things Christ used TO tear
off the masks. He m de no false reading of
character. Social cOmpacts are either uplift-
ing or doWnpulllng. What pity that people
are not as wise and active In Sharing others
for good as they are in sharing them for
evil. Employers may put obstacles in the
way of employees. Mothers with worldly
ambition may have a serious account to
settle at last in regard to their children.
Self-denia, self-sacriice and self-surrender
are the foundation truths of religion. More
of genuine religion in daily life is the cry
ing need of the age. The church, the
prayer-meeting, the communion and Lenten
observances are means of grace in Just so
far rs they produce grace And grace
shines brightest in the storms and conflicts
OF daily life. 1t is easy enough to manage
craft on the bosom of the quiet inland lake,
but 1t requires skill and seamanship to sail
on the storm-tossed ocean. Religion must
deal with storms as well as with sunshine.
Religion is to the soul what health is to the
body. 1t enables us to carry ourselves with
strength and calmnesS in the midst of
trials"

ELIXIR OF LIFE.
DR.. Hammond Revives the Brown
Sequard Idea.
New York Press.

NcW 1Ork IreSS.
After brief period of professional and
popular interest DR.. Brown-Sequard's al
leged discovery of an elixir of youth was
assigned to a high place on the list of de-
funct humbugs. 1t was placed there after
an apparently thorough trial of lis merits
and by the general consensus of the best
medical authorities. For year or two the
public has heard little about it beyond a
casual reference in the newspapers. It
appears, however, that eminent physicians
have continued experimenting with the
eliyr. Que Of them is DR.. William A.
Hammond, formerly surgeon-genera OF
the United States army. In a recent
lecture before the New York Post Graduate
Medical School, Dr. Hammond made sew
eral strikngly Interesting statements as to
the curative properties of the Brown

An Electric Drill.

A German paper describes an electric
drill. A little electric machine is set ON
base, which can be screwed on or near the
piece OF work. The armature shaft Of this
machine drives the drill by means of conf
cal wheels. the drill being held in a properly
formed bearing frame that is screwed TO the
foot OF the moter under the coils. A spindle
and bRndwheel serve for pressing the wheel
forward. This arrangement will prove adj
