Toprc.-Hun!an Ioucings and their satisfac
tion.-lsa ", l-l5
To be convinced that the human soul
has many and varied longings it is not
necessary to 20 beyond ourselves. The
personal experience of each one of US
proves to US these longings, for who is
there that has Ect experienced them
longings for Knowledge, longings fgE
wealth and power, longings for happi-
ness, longings fer God and Immortality
In reference to these longings two facts
are noted in the chapter used to Illus
trate the topic:
/. The world. aruot satisfy these hu.
man longings iIsa ", p. 'Where-
fore. says the prophet, do you spend
your money for that which is not bread,
and your labor fer that which satistieth
not" This is very apt description Of
those who, recognizing the longings Of
their souls, try TO satisfy them with
the world They try to stile the wants
of their beings with the bread Of this
life only They toll and they labor, but
still they are never satisfied History
has abundantly proved that this fact Is
true Men have thought if they only
had wealth they would be satisfied, and
they have toiled and labored and have
obtained the wealth, but have not found
satisfaction with it. Some have thought
If they only had power and influence
they would be satisfied, but when this
has been obtained they are as far from
satisfaction as ever. Others have trsy-
ersed the fields Of pleasure seeking the
same boon, but have not found it. Their
experience but re-echoes the experlence
Of the wise men Of old. VANITY Of vani-
ties. all IS vanity.
?. God alone can satisfy these long
ngs. Incline v5ur ear and come unto
me. Hear ana yoar soul shall live, and
I VIII make an everlasting covenant
with you. even tee sure mercies Of Dl-
yid = 1t Is int.mated here that what
the bread Of tbs world and its labor
cannot do God can and will do If W.
will come unto Him. When we see the
unrest and dissatisfaction Of the w0r.l
and how little lbs world c,1l satisfy II,
we are rejoiced that IL God and in

Strive to Please God.

Keep not back part Of the price. Mase
full surrender of every motion of thy
heart. Labor to have but one object
and one aim, and for this purpose give
God the keeping of thine heart. Cry ont
for more of the divine influences of the
Holy Spirit, that SO when thy soul is
preserved and protected by Him it may
be directed into one channel, and only
one. that thy life may run deep and pure
and clear and peaceful, its only banks be-
ing Gods will, its only channel the love
Of Christ and desire to please Him. -

it ell orc de-copo-the cup of gold. In
the month of October, 1916, the ship
Rurick entered the bay of San Fran
cisco. The naturalist Adalbert Won
ChamlssO was on the Ruric!z, and
named the poppy for his companion of
the voyage, one Herr Eschscholtz.
The latter may have been a good citi-
zen, and his name may sound euphoni-
Gus to his nation; but to the Anglo
Saxon the word is mouthful.
Californians should be thankful

Managed Tt Between Them.

1t used to be the custom in England
for pheasants to feed from boxes which
opened when the bird stood on rail
in front, the box shutting to again as
soon as the bird left the rail- By this
device the food was protected from all
manner of thieves. 1t so happened,
according to Bishop Stanley, of Nor
wich, that coot or water-hen had
studied the movements of the pleas
ants, and being anxious to get its meals
as easily as they got theirs it tried the
box one day. AS it was not heavy
enough to raise the lid, it kept jump
ing on the rail to give extra force to
it's weight; still the result was not sat
isfactory. Accordingly, it went away,
but returned soon with another coot
The weight of the two birds was now
sufficient to cause the box to open.

have completed next morning, SO he

twelve o'clock at night cup of black
coffee was brought him to keep him
awake. He drank it and resumed his
work. About one o'clock, the coffee
having eXhilarated him, and forgetting
that he was in the presence Of death,
he commenced sineing lively tune,
keeping time with his hammer. Sud.
denly the corpse arose and said in a
hollow voice: "When a man is in the
presence of death he should not sing. -
The shoemaker started, then suddenly
dealt the corpse a blow on the head
with his hammer, saying: "Whcn a
mans corpse he should never speak. -
