Lesson for August I1.

Golden Text-As Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, even so must
the Son of Man be lifted up.--John 3: IA.
"And they journeyed from Mount Hor."
The Christian life is in one aspect jour
ney. in another a rest. AS respects the
world we are as pilgrim relations, as re-
spect the heavenly places in Christ" we
have already reached Canaan and are ut
rest-the "rest that remaineth," the ''rest
of faith"
Discouraged because of the way"
Grieved the margin says. Elsewhere at
Job 21: 4 the same word is rendered trou-
bled. Margin, shortened. And this last
is the literal significance of the word.
Israels heart was not equal to the jour-
ney She had not called upon the "grace
sufficient" In spirit she fell short and
complained. These things are given unto
us for an example and for our admonition.
Shall we take it?
THE people spake against God and
against Moses" To speak against God is
to blaspheme. That Israel could not af-
ford to do. Her whole strength and stay
was God Almighty. What folly to thus
cut the cords of her strength!
And to speak against God was to speak
against the man who stood for God and
His counsels. When the people forget
God, il fares lily with good men. But it
fares worse with the people who do tho
forgetting.
"Our soul loatheth this light bread"
And yet he gave them ''angels' food.'
When the complaining spirit is given lib
erty it turns beauty to ashes and it dis
dains even mama. Is any one murmur-
ing because of the bread of life that is
being dispensed from the sacred desk
Beware. Israel was called to account
for the things she despised as well as for
the things she affected.
Then came the fiery serpents." Were
they red like fire? Such serpents are still
found in the vicinity. Or was the place
of the bite red and infiamed? 1t matters
not much. The chief concern is this, that
the little serpents of sin are here and they
are singing Israel sorely to-day. High
mindedness and readiness have brought
them in; what shall we do? Stop MUIR
muring. But there is the poison of the
scrpent's bite. Look. Yonder on cross
hangs One who was made sin for us.
Look and Live. "Where sin abounded
grace did much more abound"

"Don't you find 1t rather difficult to
get rid of themT was asked of the
man who Is making speciality of Tril-

small."-Hartford Courant.

Hints and illustrations.

"Line upon line, precept upon precept."
We are introduced to-day to one of the
most familiar Of Bible passages. John
3: 16 is perhaps the most frequently quot
ed of all the verses Of Scripture, "God so
loved" etc. But John 3: II, 10, is so
much like that if you know the one you
know the other: "And as Moses lifted
up the serpent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son Of man be lifted up that
whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have eternal life" We can
not too often rehearse these sacred SEN
tences. Happy for us if we get them by
heart; but If not gotten by heart, let the
eye often rest upon them in the Book and
the mind take them up into its. apprehen-
sion. Some one was complaining that he
could not remember what he read in the
Bible. He was given pitcher and told
to fill it at the fountain. He did so. "Now
empty it," "And now fill it again."
Empty it and fill it again." again"
''again." "And now whether you have
any water in your pitcher or not it Is
cleaner than when you began"
Does it seem strange that our Savior
should compare himself with the serpent
in the wilderness? Or that he should
Il
night? He is seeking to save, that is all,
and he Is ready to use any image that will
arrest men and stay them in their heed
less, worldly course. Some Of us are all
too rhetorically and dramatically nice.
We would rather lose a soul than lose
sight of semicolon, or spoil pretty fig
ure of speech. No man is ready for the
work of soul-saving who has not thrown
literary reputation and all into the bal
ance for the helping of lost souls into the
Kingdom. 'You ought to throw a brick
bat once in a while," was spoken to one
of these dilletante preachers. "Oh," he
cried, ''it would take all the skin off my
fingers" Well, what il it should!

ours to us in the mention of the subject
of this lesson. "At last one snowy day.

place had determined to go to, and was
obliged to stop on the road, and it was a
blessed stop for me. l found rather an
obscure street, and turned down court,
and there was little chapel. 1t
was primitive Methodist chapel. -
So, sitting down, the service went on, bur
no minister came. At last very thin
looking man came into the pulpit and
opened his Bible and read these words:
Look unto me, and be ye saved all the
ends of the earth Just setting his eye
on me as IL he knew me all by heart, he
said, Young man, you are in trouble

the tobacco had been partly consumed,
and placed the pipe beside the dead mans $
body.
Search in the basement of the Chicago
house has revealed almost everything sug-
gestive of dark crime except corpse.
Skeletons and bones were there, but these
may have been procured from medical
colleges or other sources; they furnish no
proof of murder. More mysterious vats,
tanks, retorts and kindred devices have
been unearthed. And most important of
all. there has been found in the Arkansas
penitentiary a man who is said to have
been closely associated with Holmes in his
) fraudulent life insurance deals and who
assisted in the transfer of the Fort
Worth, Texas, property of the missing
Williams girls This man is known by
the name of Hatch, A. Il. Allen, A. T..
Bond, Caldwell and Mascot" and it is
thought was Holmes confidential agent.
He is serving a fifteen-year term for
horse-stealing, and he is now 90 years old
He claims to know all about the disap-
pearance of the Williams girls and the
Pitzel children, but refuses to tell until
he is pardoned for his present term and
relieved of two more indictments for
horse-stealing. Holmes not long ago as
serted that the man Hatch took the Pit
eel children to Toronto, in the company
of Minnie Williams, and that If he could
be found he could clear up the mystery
of their death.
An attorney went from Chicago to Lit
tie Rock to treat with the authorities of
Arkansas for the release of the old man,
and the strongest influence will be used
to secure all he knows. One other man
now held by the Chicago police is thought
to know enough to convict Holmes. This
Is Pat Quinlan; but in convicting Holmes
he will also convict himself so he has
the strongest incentive to keep his mouth
shut. On the other hand, Hatch will
have the reward of liberty for his dis
closures, in case the latter are conclusive.
SO it is upon him that the police pin their
faith.

Close of the Harvey Horr Debate.

Close of the Harvey -Horr Debate.
While 1t Is not likely that the Horr-
Harvey debate has had the resultof con-
verting any one from his deep-rooted con-
victions 1t may, and undoubtedly has,
broadened the views Of many. The mere
fact that Mr.. Horr and Mr.. Harvey could
keep each other 80 busy in making replies
is of some value ar an indication that the
subject is broad enough to admit of in
spection from opposing sides.
From the opening Of the finance contro-
versy there has been general feeling
that the public would be helped and en-
lightened by the collection of the argu-
ments on both sides and the arraying of
these arguments one against the other.
Through Mr.. Harvey and Mr.. Horr each
faction to the financial question has pre-
sented its case, and In such way that
the arguments pro and con come into i'm
mediate contrast. The rules of debate

The Chicago man who had gone on
a business trip and STARTED home
again. He had been compelled to run
through several streets to catch the
Train, and was somewhat Overheated.
The temperature of the long car was
over 100 degrees, and still climbing.
He stood it for about five minutes,
and then tried to open the window. 1t
was one Of those windows not built
for opening purposes, and didn't open.
He tried another window with the
same result The third window stuck
equally tight, and he raised his foot
and kicked o large hole through the
plate glass.
The conductor heard the crash and
came running into the car.

manded, threateningly.

him a sten-dollar bill.

the conductor.

Chicago man. Keep It."
He raised his foot again. kicked out
another window, took q newspaper out
az his pocket, sat down and went on
reading a. II nothing had happened.

arc everywhere; in the air in the water in food
clothes, money; that they get into bodies live

germs where the lung is too weak to conquer them.
The remedy is strength--vital force.

Farewell to Poverty.

The hard times, often starvation,
that overlook the workmen in our
large cities during the financial panic
of 1898 and the great strike, have evil
IDENTIFY taught them lesson, for they
are leaving the cities in multitudes
and going out to till the fields, raise
live stock and wrest from Nature the
boon of sure livelihood-a livelihood
that is combined with good health, q
happy home and contentment.
In no part of the country has this
movement been more marked than in
Northwestern Minnesota where, with
in the past two years, mechanics, la
borers and others have focked into
the country between st. Paul and
Duluth in great numbers and taken up
land and are already cleaning pros
perity from the tillage of the soil.
The land lying between these great
cities is remarkably fertile and is ca.
pable Of supporting several hundred
thousand more people than are now in
it. There are at least a million acres
of land in this district that are still
available for settlement and can be
obtained at low prices and on very
easy terms.

day Of the present custom of writing
parodies on popular songs. He said
be had played in theater orchestras
and had noticed the fact that a parody
always pleases an audience better
than the original song ever did. He
said lie could hardly assign reason
for it, but thought that perhaps it was

over the Michigan Central the other
afternoon. A fat man, who had been
complaining of the heat. dust, rate Of
progress and many other things, final
lys decided to take a nap. Before get
ting settled down and closing his eyes
he was seen by those nearest him to
take AN artificial fly from his vest
pocket and place it on his nose, but it
was a quarter of an hour before 1t at
trActed attention. Then a woman
looked back and noticed it and said to
her husband:
Samuel, do you see that? You had
better go and brush that fly off that
poor mans nose. It's wonder he can
sleep with it, but l s'pose he's tired

Mes, guess I'll do that much for
him. replied the man, and he rose up
and went back The fly was quiet,
and he advanced his thumb and finger
and carefully picked it off and dropped
it on the floor.
ha-wl,at is it?" asked the bald.
headed man, as he reused up.

"A fly, eh! Where is it? All! see.'
He picked it up and replaced it on
his nose and said:
''Sir, would thank you to mind your
own business! This is my fly. l pur
chased him for 10 cents. Attend to
your own fly and 1 will to NINE"
He leaned Jack for another nap, and
after looking at him in bewildered
way for half a minute the farmer re
turned to his wife.

In poor weather the cavalryman has
everything in his favor, and this will
make the conservative soldier view

this radical disadvantage is placed the
fact that under moderately fair con-
dition tthe cyclist can outmarch the
cavalryman two to one, or 100 per
cent, and under almost the worst con-
ditions he can do the same with in

cyclist may have to perform in the
next war is to act as the anvil for the
main army to hammer the enemy

defensive position and wait for his at.

with a heavy force of artillery. The
value of the cyclist as a messenger OF
