Possibilities of the Indian.

The Indian has within him the capa-
bilities upon which to base a better
manhood and citizenship despite the
barbarous instincts attributed to him.
With no incentive to work and with
encouragement to vice and idleness on
every hand there are today upon the
reservations many excellent and worthy
Indian men and women. Though stolid
and sphinxlike in demeanor, the Indian
has the feelings and affections common
to human beings.
With no educational advantages they
are men Of remarkable sense, often ap-
preaching high, order of ability. The
old chief Of the Sioux nation, Spotted
Tail, was a striking figure, whether
taken physically or intellectually. The
late Mrs. Elizabeth Winans, a Sioux
woman, during life of Christian serv-
Ice for her people was actuated by a
purpose as pure and noble as that shown
by any philanthropist of the country
Among the Indians are fine natural
orators and statesmen equaled by few
educated white men. Under education
they have shown themselves quick and
ready learners competing easily with
white pupils of the same age 1 have
observed them at thier studies and am
convinced that they are as capable as
white children Of grasping the ordinary
branches taught in the common schools.
1t has been my pleasure to hear ad
dresses from full blooded Indian collegt
students which would do credit to un.
dergraduates of Yale or Harvard. Sen.

Comment by Rev. S. H. Doyle.
ToPIc.-What Christ heals and how.-Math
viii, SIT.
In the topical reference we have re-
called to US two familiar instances in
which Christ when upon earth healed
diseases of the body. The first is the
case Of the centurion s servant, because
Of the great faith Of whose master Jesus
healed without going to him. The Sec
ond is the case of Peter 8 wife's mother,
who was sick with the fever.
In these cases and in many others in
the gospels we see Christ represented as
the healer of the bodies of men. Now,
can it be doubted today that in case Of
sickness it is right for us to pray unto
our Lord for His blessing upon the
means that are put forth for the recov-
cry of the sick? But we have no encour-
agement i'll the word Of God to pray
that Christ would use his miraculous
power in healing the diseases Of our
bodies today.
l. What Christ heals Although we
have no reason to look upon Christ to-
day as the particular physician of our
bodies, yet the Bible still represents
him as a physician. But it is in the
sense of the physician of our souls that
we are to specially look upon Christ
The soul of man is sick as well as the
body. 1t is stricken with the terrible
disease of sin, that is as deadly as the
bite of the poisonous serpent, and that
is as incurable as the dreaded disease Of
leprosy, so far as human methods are
concerned 1t is this disease that Christ
came into the world to cure, and He can
and does heal and cure it. He also heals
all the minor diseases that result from
sin, such as trouble and sorrow, and all
the heartaches that go withit.
2. How does Christ heal? Christ re-
ceived the ability to cure sin and its re-
suits from God by bearing in Himself
the penalty that should have come upon
man as a result Of sin. He Himself
took our infirmities and bore our sick
nesses. 1t was thus that He was able
to heal us. But there is one thing for us
to do to be healed. We must have faith
in Christ; accept Him as the physician
of our souls. The best physicians can
not heal unless their patients follow
their directions. The centurion believed
in Christ, and his servant was healed as
a result Of his faith. AS a result Of our
faith our sins are forgiven, our souls are
healed. Believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved. "

The FOOD OF The FUTURE.

by Chemical Processes.
"Do you mean to predict that all our
milk, eggs, meat and -four will in the
future be made in factories?''
"Why not, if it proves cheaper and
better to make the same materials than
to grow them? The first steps, and you
know that it is always the first step
than costs, have already been taken. 1t

rect from its elements. do notsay that
we shall give you artificial beefsteaks at
once, nor do I say that we shall ever
give you the beefsteak as we now obtain
and cook it. We shall give you the
same identical food, however, chemical
ly, digestively and nutritively speaking.
Its form will differ, because it will
probably be tablet. But it will be a
tablet of any color and shape that is de-
sired, and will, think, entirely satisfy
the epicurean senses of the future, for
you must remember that the beefsteak
of today is not the most perfect of pic
lures either in color or composition.
Tea and coffee could now be made
artifcially, continued the professor,
''if the necessitysshould arise, or the
commercial opportunity, through the
necessary supplementary mechanical in
ventions, had been reached.
''And what about tobacco?"
''The essential principle Of tobacco,
as you know, is nicotine. We have OBJ
tanned pure nicotine, whose chemical
constitution is perfectly understood, by
treating salomine, natural glucoside,
with hydrogen. Synthetic chemistry has
not made nicotine directly as yet, but it
has very nearly reached it, and the la
boratory manufacture of nicotine may
fairly be expected at any time. Conine,
the poisonous principle Of hemlock, has
been made synthetically, and it is so
close in its constitution to nicotine and
so clearly of the same class that only
its transformation into nicotine remains
to be mastered, problem which is not
very difficult when compared with 9TH
ers which have been solved. The parent
compound from which the nicotine of
commerce will be made exists largely in
coal tar. From an Interview With

Heareth in dark Gods thunders roll,

Would bear them all to give her rest.

Watt through her life their sweet perfumes
And the tall ships, with wind blown sails.
