Nothing to Fear For Chris ianity.
doctor John Hall, in The Edge of the
Future. "McClure'S Magazine for Janu-
ary.D
There areihere and there social
ed NEW religious systems" being
developed, and even organizations
formed, in view of which some are
respondent as to the future of our
evangelic faith. Spiritualism,
Christian Science, and the like, are
specimens. / have no fear about
the issue, although troubled over
those who are fascinated by those
plausible substitutes for the relig
ion of the Bible. Time was when
atheism and infidelity stood bold
~ in front of advancing truth, and
tried to throw it back. The prince
of this world is cunning enough to
know that such policy is now
practically useless. He does
not assail religion as in
other days but tries to
get worthless substitutes for it.
The train could not be met and
stopped, but ingenuity may put
down some new rails and get it off
the track. But these revivals of
old human speculations will have
their day, and disappear. This
will be not from the power of God
the Holy Spirit working through
the truth; and it is not a hope
built on the zeal, fidelity, and con-
secratiOn of our denominations,
for we are far from being up to the
standard fixed by the Church's
Head, and are too much inclined
to Journalism and the teachings of
worldly wisdom, but it is based on
the infallible truth that "the Lord
reignGth."

Parkman's Hard Lot.

Julius II. Ward in McClure's Magazine
for January.
He could command for work not
more than One-twentieth of the
time which other men have, and
for ten years, from 1858 to 1868, he
could not work at all. From his
return from the west in 1916, to the
day of his death, NOvem Der s, 1898,
he never knew a day when he was
an entirely well man. He spent
some months at a water-cure in
Northampton, without benefit.
The physician urged him to pre-
pare to die, but Parkman replied
that he should not die, even if he
did not get we'll. At a later date
he went to Paris to consult DIR.
BrOwn-Sequard, who for three
months tested him for insanity,
but finally told him that his head
was perfectly sound, and that he
could do nothing for him. The doc
tors all told him that he must not
work, and he once said to me that
if he had followed their instruC-
tions, he could never have written
his books. The situation was des-
perate. For a great part Of the time
he could not read continuously for
more than five minutes without
straining his eyes, and IL was inn
possible for him to write or read
for long periods.

EDUCATING BY PICTURES.
Their Great Value for Purposes of
Instruction Universally Ac-

knoWledged.
A great man said once that if
schools and school boards knew
the educational value of pictures
"every school-room would be
papered with them"
And he was right.
The LIGHT is making a step in
this direction.
1t is helping you educate your
children when it makes you the
unparalleled offer embodied in the
distribution of "Sights and Scenes
of the World"
Here is the best art album ever
offered to a discriminating public.
Every picture is reproduced from
the best photographs procurable,
and every picture has it's story at
tached.
Tell the children about it and let
them gather the coupons.
Just watch them clipping them
out neatly.
Every child will want an art al
bum.
Could you give a wiser present :?
Could you give more attractive
one?
1t is doubtful.
The keen, inquiring mind Of
child is always alert, always recep-
tive, always curious.
Show a child a picture and he
will want the story of it.
Show him a picture book, where
the story of everything ne sees is
written for him, and how eagerly
he will devour it; how wonderfully
his fresh young mind will reta it..
Let the children gather the cOu-
pOns.
People are all the time demand
ing good value for their money.
There never was better value
than contained in the "Sights and
Scenes" offer.
You get sixteen pictures-pic-
lures that teach something.
You turn leaf after leaf and al
ways come upon something of in
tense interest.
Here is a view of some historic
spot you have often read of and
pictured in your mind, but never
hoped to see, and on the next leaf
there is gay Partisan boulevard
giving you a glimpse Of the lovely
French city as exact, as true to
life, as only photograph can be,
yet without the hardness of the
photograph.
Turn to another page, and you
see the frowning keep of some gray
dOnjOn where prisoners languished
through dismal years-and you
read the story Oft.
In another moment by simply
turning another leaf, you are wan
dering down old Roman ways, Jolt
ing over the uneven sire Is, twist

sitting by the marble tomb Of Ce-

History thus becomes a pictured

you are travelling around the world.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll of the nerve centerS, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also dcranged. When 1t Is re-
membered that serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, il Wilt be understood how

Sir John waited on the platform OF Pad

Queens household, and with Mr.. Arthur

Of Ripop. the colonial secretary; the Indian
secretary. Mr.. Fowler, and with Sir Charles

that he was suffering rom any illness.
After attending the privy council meeting,
Sir John adjourned with the ministers and
others to luncheon. Shortly after this he
became suddenly i'll and expired almost i'm
mediately. DR.. Ellison, one OF the surgeons

suddenly 1t is presu ed that his death was
caused by heart disease.

The United States will take no part in the
investigation Of the Armenian outrages.
Finding that the limitations imposed by
President Cleveland upon the functions OF
United State Consul Jewett were such as to
prevent his Joint acton with the representa-.

withdrawn his invitation to the United States
to appoint commissioner, and consequently
Mr. Jewetts appointment lapses.
As caution against involving the United
States in any European disagreements that
might follow the investigation Mr.. Jewett
was instructed to make an independent In
quiry and report only to the State Depart
ment. These last restrictions were appar-
ontly unpalatable TO the Porte.

Knocks the Record.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. d., July 2.-Indiap
police have succeeded in overhauling
and stopping the Lower Brule Sioux
who left their reservation without per-
mission from the Indian agent. The
first party of Indians that started away
regardless of the orders of the Indian
agent that they could not, headed south
for Rosebud agency, ostensibly to visit
until after the Fourth of July with
their friends there, but in reality tc
strive to remain there, as many of the
Lower Brulcs have always expressed
the desire to tuke up their resi-.
uence with the Rosebud Indians. Spot

police, and three of his men were sem
Indians was discovered, and while en-.
gagged on this duty performed n feat OF
riding that entities them to . place in
the list of foremost long distance riders
OF the west, and will be the talk Of the
reservation for some time to come.
Spotted Horse has always had
the reputation of being one
of the most t~ireless riders on the
Sioux reservation, but on this occasion
he broke his past records. To inter
cept und return the stanpeding In
dians it was necessary to ride but n
tri]e less than 100 miles, and Spotted
Horse and his three comrades travelled
this distance without once stopping to
rest or feed their ponies. On their re.
tnrn to the agency with the prisoner it
was learned that still another party IF
Lower Brules had stampeded and were
headed for the innkton agency. After
a brief rest Spotted Horse again setout
with u force Of police to overhaul and
capture them. This he succeeded in
doing on Poncn creek, in the extreme
southern part of the state md but a
short distance north of the Nebraska
line. The runaways are now under
guard at their w agency, pondering
OF the strictness of the white
mans discipline. About 100 miles was
the distance travelled while on this Sec
ond expedition after wandering In
dams, making about $50 miles TINT
Spotted llor g and his companion rode
in comparatively brief space of time.
This shows the efficiency of the Indian
policemen, and that they will perform
their duties regardless OF consequences
or the h%nrdships incident thereto.
