WORKING FOR APPLAUSE.

The Church Needs Workers of the Kind
Who Are Willing To Fill the Lowest
Places.
The work of the world must largely
be done by hod carriers and hewers of
wood and drawers of water. 1t needs
more spades than cleaning swords,
more servants than masters. We are
reminded at times that there is al
ways room at the top, but there is need
of men and women who will not de-
spise the lower rungs of the ladder,
who will not make life one continuous
sigh for a nobler task or a higher
round of duty. There is no task so no.
BILE as that which hearty devotion to
it ennobles. Thoroughness of pur-
pose, singleness of aim, unstinted ply
ing of the loom and applying of ones
best self to ones work make it grand
and put halo over the workers head
The desire to do some great thing
and TO be lauded by ones fellows is

seen in all the walks of life. It has
entered into many an educational con-
test. The college student is not al
ways moved with simpl. and single
and sincere desire to equip himself for
usefulness in the world. At times he
seeks applause. and for its sake will
toll and strive so that he may exceed
rather than excel. The victory in or
out of college halls is not always to
the worthy, though it be to the win
ner.
The unholy spirit that spurns small
tasks and lowly places is abroad
in the church. 1t is difficult to bend
ones conspicuous talents to the minor
missions. Were there some great thing
to be done, the very doing of which
would make the doer conspicuous or at
least enable him to feel that like King
Saul he was head and shoulders above
the people, how much easier it would
be to serve ones day and generation!
But King Saul proved a failure at rul-
ing, and his name is shrouded with
shame until this day. His successor
was the lowly lad. who tended sheep
and did it well. The church needs
workers of mediocre talent, workers
who never see giant when they look
into their mirrors, workers who do not
look straight over the woodpile when
looking for some work to do, workers
whose regard for themselves is not of
avoirdupois as to prevent their fitting
into a small place. The ranks of the
church militant are not yet filed, but
the call is for souls who are ready to
take the lowest places.
There are ministers of the Gospel who
are losing golden opportunities for use

AN ANCIENT CUSTOM.

The Tombs of the Old Egyptian Nobility
Represented the Private Apartments of
the Soul.
M. de Morgan, ,director-general of the
French service of Egyptian antiquities,
has recently made some surprising dis
coveries. Two years or more ago he
started to explore the pyramids of
Dashur, which are about twenty-five
miles from Cairo. There are six pyra-
mids in this group Some of them are
of stone and some of brick. The latter
have long since crumbled into shape
less masses. Here M. de Morgan made
borings to find if possible, the remains
of kings and queens who lived thou
sands of years ago.
He sunk pits extended galleries and
honeycombed the shapeless pyramid of
bricks, of which Herodotus might have
spoken when he wrote: by plunging
spears into the water Of the Mic anu I
taking from them the mud that was
thus attached, the bricks were made of
which | am constructed" And now,
by plunging picks and shovels into the
earth, some of the longhidden secrets
Of antiquity were to be discovered.
At last, after many disappointments,
in the principal gallery which had been
opened, the explorer found evidences
of an undisturbed pit Then came the
problem of admitting pure air into the
crypt in which no foot had trodden for
scores of centuries. Then, too, followed
the finding of a secret door, and
stately chamber with it's eighteen
sarcophagi, the abode of princesses;
and then the treasure, which h ad evil
IDENTIFY been hastily buried in the
ground.
What strange jewels were therei
Breastplates of massive gold; jeweled
signets, earrings and bracelets of
pearls and emeralds, a beautiful mir
ror in gold aud silver, clasps in the
shape of hearts and lotus blossoms
all of which had ministered to human
pride and had adorned, ages ago. the
bodies of men and women when they
were arrayed in their glory.
The treasure was by far the largest
ever discovered in any pyramid. The
workmanship of the articles found,

centuries, is declared to be most ex-
quisite, and the designs so beautiful
and new that they will have marked
effect upon the fashion of the present
day.
ITO the old Egyptians" says M.
Maspero, the greatest Egyptian au-
thority, ''the tomb represented the pri-
vate apartments of the soul, where no
living being could enter without sacri-
lege." Every life has its own pyramid,
in whose dark recesses its hopes, de-
sires and deeds are buried. In it are
hidden, as with the old Egyptians, the
things that we have loved Mortal
eyes can not explore its secret depths,
but by law ordained of God, that
which it contains may be brought to
light in other lives.
If dead sapphire, or piece of gold,
can influence fashion a thousand years
