TIE MOT ABJECTSLLTERY
To Self and to sfs-The Ono Regnsnt
Lcrd.

There is no slavery as absolute as the
slavery OF self and sin. We may strug-
gle more hopefully against the hardest
and apparently the most hopeless slave
ry into which We are forced by another,
and even If we are unsuccessful yet
there is that within us which no one
can keep captive. and our spirit can az
least be free and beyond the power OF
any one 20 hold in thraldom. But tnere
Is something about any form OF slavery
to which we subject ourselves wnlch
makes us virtually slaves in absolute fact'
because we lose all independence or splr-
IL and admit to ourselves our own self
dom. Perhaps there is no one who at
some time or another in his life has not
felt himself under the yoke of some in
duged sin, some besetting sin, which has
try TO give up. or II he does try knows
that the struggle Is but a weak one, and
that he is all too easily persuaded 70
give up the battle. 1t is a condition Of
his sense Of freedom, OF his
Unborn nobility, when he realizes that
some small habit has enslayed him. and
that try as he may he cannot shake II
off. There are some very small indul-
gences which. while not absolutely sim
full per Sc, are yet wrong when any one
realizes that ones body is the temple
Of the Holy Ghost, and that II should be
kept pure and undefled a bedtting tenn
pie for such an inhabitant At first
thought IT may seem az II It will cost
only little resolution. perhaps little
discomfort, but then the chain Of habit
will be snapped and the victory won.
Then 1t is that one discovers his weak
ness. when he finds that IL takes more
than resolution, that many a time these
small indulgences have become so pow
erful In their hold that to break the
chain man is forced down upon his
knees, and has 10 carry the cord which
seemed but siken to power that is
mightier than his own to rend asunder
But when it comes to the slavery OF sin
which holds the whole body enthralled,
and which has every sense, every i'm
pulse under its control, then We have an
uneven warfare TO wage IL we do il in our
own strength. We cannot win the victory
there. and 1t is only Christ who can
deliver us from such a master There
Is no more powerful king in the universe
than sin, except He who has bound sin
and holds him captive. Sin knows but
one Lord. and where he reigns his des-
potism is absolute and entire. He is
merciless in his severity. and as subtle
as a serpent in his DISCUSSES He plays
with his helpless victim as a tiger sports
with its prey. only to leap on II at last
with relentless ferocity and rend it limb
from him.

TIVE Good Breeding Pertains to the Hear,

We occasionally meet with persons

seem 10 forget that courtesy is a Chris
uan grace St Paul, in writing to limo

the servant or the Lord must be gentle
70 All; that is. he must be n gentleman:

Jesus, our perfect example i'm all reia-
tohs or life. being other than thought
Iul or the feelings and the comforts of
others, even in the smallest matters? II
we are TO show forth His praises or yir-
tues, we must see that we abound in His
grace also. IL is a grace which can be
cultivated. and ought to be. There is
nne description OF Christian courtesy
given by ST. Paul in the thirteenth chap
ter OF First Corinthians. Its basis is
the sweet grace OF charity which suffer-
eth long and is kind and doth not
behave itself unseemly. Manners spring
from the heart. True good breeding is not
merely the conventional eXternals OF DO
lite speech or behavior; one may not
know all the rules Of society and yet be
perfect gentleman or a true gentleWo-
man. Pleasant manners are n great help
to personal usefulness, and for this reason
alone a Christian should heed the injunc-
ton TO be courteous" IL is the true
spirit OF Jesus St Paul says: Il beseech
you by the genticness Of Christ" If we
live with Jesus we shall learn from HIM
to be gentle and kind in speech and be-
havior. 1t is an Inconsistency for Christ

man or a true lady.

Your true bohemian, says a writer In

A Lamp Explosion May Yet Cost a

The alarm which was turned in shortly
after IL O'Clock last night was caused by
the explosion Of a lamp in the bagnio at

woman named Mollie Cooper, and in an
instant she was shrouded IN flame She
rushed shrieking out upon the sidewalk.

none of them had presence of mind suifi-
clent to render her any assistance. An
other woman, known as big Minnie" :"
ran to her assistance with a quilt and
smothered the flames, her own hands
being badly burned while doing it.
The unfortunate woman was taken into
house across the street, the patrol
wagon sent for, and on its arrival she
was taken to the Receiving Hospital. 1t
was there found that her lower limbs
were one mass of burns her arms and
back terribly burned, as wei as her
throat and face
The novel in which the fire started was
consumed, as well as those on each side
OF 1t, and. as a fresh wind was blowing,
1t seemed likely that the conflagration
might extend.
The burned houses were not of much
value, and they were insured. 1t was
stated that one belonged TO K. Boden,
one TO a man named Whitlock and an
other TO ali estate that is being settled up.
"A fourth building was considerably dam

IN second alarm was sounded from

the Headquarters.
sIs Theosorhy Worth Living For?"
was the theme chosen for the address at
the Theosophical Headquarters last even
ing.
The speaker began by referring to the
general state of unrest now prevalent in
the world, and mentioned, as a coinci-
dence, that the Indian Sages long ago
foretold the sturbances-natural, social
and political-now taking place IN this
closing cycle.
''Then the universal tendency to the
study of what is called the Supernatural
was noted, and the coming Of new words
to express facts new 10 science. ms
was said to further prove that the world
| is in a state Of transition; that at this
period the forces which constitute the
human being must assert themselves IN
one or another direction, and that ac-
cording as the higher or lower, the pro-
gressive or retrogressive, the spiritual or
material principles prevail, the tide OF
evolution will be turned Tor better or
for worse.
"rhe thirst for knowledge prevades all
humanity. Old religious doctrines are
proclaimed Insufficient; ola SCIENTIFIC
pretenses are exploded. Men and women
think, examine experiment with un-
within, the infinite unknown without,
become daily more patient, and our re-
Election tells us that the realm Of the un-
known is as much greater than the realm
of the known as the ocean is greater than
a pebble lying on its shore; and not less
surely that there is something more in
reserve tor us than the present sublunary
life.
Resort to science and to religion fail
to satisfy our questionings as to origin,
purpose and destiny Of life, as well as in
justice and suffering. Batfied in the
quest the earnest inquirer is introduced
to grand philosopy, old as the world.
preserved in secret through the ages, and
now newly divulged. He examines it to
find it the basis of all the beliefs and
creeds the world has ever known, and to
realize that Theosophy is unveiling more
of the truth than has ever been unveiled
BEFORE and the result of his investiga-
tions proves to him that it is worth liv-
ing for, and. if need come, dying for"

and then when they are racked with pain
from lame back, or from the soreness
arising from cold. they will spend any
amount of money to relieve the pain. ii
they only had one of these world-re-

saved vast amount of suffering and be
considerably richer. At the first sign
of stiffness of the joints apply one of
these plasters without any delay. The
soreness will be greatly relieved at once
and soon disappear entirely. 1t will be

say nothing OF the comfort they bring.
