scattered widely apart. An island from
which the fisherman casts his line at one
end of the lake to-day will, in all probabii-
ity, invite him to it from the other extremity
tomorrow.
The largest OF these islands was some
years ago partial to the lower end Of the
lake, and hugged the shore there with only
slight changes in position DAY in and day
out. During stiff wind one day thisisland
tackled first 10 one side and then to the other
side Of the lake, moving slowly the while TO
the upper end, until it was loated against
the shore at that end 1t remained there tor
two or three years through some OF the
hardest winds that blew eli that shore. One
day while three pickerel fishermen were
fishing from the islands outer edge 1t sud-
denly was seized with within, induced or
prompted only by u gentle wind, and before
the fishermen knew IL they found them
selves fifty feet from shore. The island
floated slowly across the lake until il had
almost reached that shore, when counter
breeze struck it and sent it down the lake.
1t finally landed near the spot where it
started from year ago, and it has remained
In that vicinity ever since, simply taking y
short trip now and then TO and fro across
the lake, but always returning to or near
its old mornings.
Although these fair islands are constantly
shifting their places In the lake, they an
nually add perceptibly TO their area. There
are six or eight of them, and the scientific
theory is that in time the roots Of the trees
that cover them will extend down into the
water so far that they will anchor the
islands in the lake, and that by the slowbut
certain processes Of nature they will be in
creased in size until the surface of the lake
will become solid land.

eldest among them a man very old and ven
cradle, the priest of the temple of the divine
Hatshepu at Tape, spoke in icy accents:
"Thou, Harmachis, we have considered
this matter. Thou hast sinned the three
fold deadly sin. On thy head lies the bur-
den Of the woe Of Khem, this day enthralled
of Rome; to Isis, the mother mystery, thou
hast offered the deadly insult, and thou hast
broken thy holy oath. For all of these
sins there is, as well thou knowest, but one
reward, and that reward is thine. Naught
can it weigh in the balance Of our justice
that thou hast slain her who was thy cause
OF stumbling; naught that thou contest to
name thyself the vilest thing who ever
stood within these walls. On thee, also,
must fall the curse OF Menka-ra, thou false
priestl thou forsworn patriot! thou
Pharaoh, shameful and dscrownedl Here,
where we set the double crown upon thy
head, we doom thee to the doom! Go to
thy dungeon, and await the falling Of its
stroke! Go remembering what thou

may those Gods who, through thy evil do

worshiped within these holy temples, give
to thee that mercy which we deny! Lead

So they took me and led me forth With
bowed head went, looking not up, and yet
felt their eyes burn upon my face. Oh!

How TO STUDY THE BIBLE.
DR.. Boardman's Chapel talk:

DR.. Boardman's Chapel talk:
A. familiar proverb is; "the way
to do thing is to do it:
A valuable Maxim is; spray out
your work and work out your prayer.
Luther said to "Pray we'll is to study
well.
How to study the Bible invokes
two things. First, how to study
Second, how to study the Bible.
How to study, First study with a
will. Course the mind, force it to
attend; compel it to study. When
the thoughts scatter and fly away,
scourge them back to one object.
the will can do this. Bring by droliC
pressure to bear. Conquer success.
Second. Study till you thoroughly
understand it. Master a lesson if it
takes all night. 1t will be the qnick-
est and in the end, the easiest way.
Review a lesson two or three times
till yon can recite it accurately and
quickly. Forty five MINUS to mas
ter lesson; ten on the first review;
and five on be second, afford a good
division of an hour.
Fourth. Study a lesson till you
enjoy it. The human mind was
made tor truth. The pursuit of
knowledge affords peculiar pleasure.
How TO STUDY THE BIBLE.
OF course all the rules for study
in general, apply to the study of the
Bible. But there is especial rules.
Study it as Gods word separated by
an infinite distance from all human
compositions. Errors of enterpre-
tation arise very largely from an in
adequate realization of Gods pres
ence in his word.
Expect especial aid from the Holy
Spirit in studying the Bible. 1t is
promised; and as real as sunlight.
Obey the Bible. Do and you shall
know. Unlike other racitations this
imposes immediate duties. Grow
in grace and in knowledge.
Turn what ever part of the Bible
is studied into prayer. Ask for bless
ings; claim promises; pray fol
strength to fulfill all duties.
While thus studying Gods word
fresh and beautiful thoughts will
come into your soul as messengers
fom heaven; as birds Of paradise; as
doves focking to their windows.
"That ye may grow thereby
Your prohting will appear to all,
especially to your self. You. will
daily grow larger and stronger il
mind and heart.
