JosHUA's APPEAL.

Our lesson occurs in the course of the Sec
ond appeal Joshua made to the nation; as he
gathered the tribes together at sheohem
tohap. 2i). He recorded the history OF Gods
dealing with their forefathers, and referred
especially to the seven events: the call OF
Abraham. the birth OF Isaac, Jacob and
Esau, the deliverance from Egypt, the de-
feat of the Amorites on the other side Of
Jordan, the miraculous crossing of Jordan
and fall of Jericho, the victory given them
over all the nations OF Canaan. In this con-
nection he refers to the ''hornet" in driving
out the two kings OF the Amorites. tyer 70. J
"Exhortation comes after history. 1t is
like overs growing upon the top OF O
rock" In view OF God wondrous mercies
to them as a people, Joshua appeals to them.
Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve
him In sincerity and in truth; and put away
the gods which your fathers served on the
other side Of the flood, and in Egypt, and
serve ye the Lord" tyer. ~ We canno

EDUCATION.
George William curtis.

George William Curtis.
"We must emancipate ourselves
from the delusion that the concern
of the state begins and ends with
the primary school, or that the state
provides for the education of all its
children that they may be able to
read a newspaper, to keep an ac-
count and to make out a bill. In
primary education we give the
children keys and tools, but our
duty includes showing how to use
them. To teach a child to read is
Indispensable, but to teach him to
read is not to teach him to read with.
profit. Yet one is as much a part OF
education as the other, and the pub.
lie good sense that sustains the
school, not a rigid theory of the
limited function of the state, must
determine the limits of instruction.
. Higher education NEAR only
more education, and the argument
for education is not only an argu-
ment for the primary school, but for
the academy, the college, and the
university. The more languages a
man hath, the more man is he. -"
If a mans mental horizon is widened,
his moral powers quickened, and his
moral powers enlarged by convers-
ing with the creative genius of all
time, by familiarity with Homer and
Dante and Shakespeare and Cervan-
tes, his manhood will be the more
ennobled if to this power he al add
the skill to bind the sweet influences
of the Pleiades or loose the bands OF
Orion.
"What is the use of understanding
ourselves, our situation, Ii powers
and our duties? What is the use OF
making America a prouder name In
human history, because signifying
greater beneficence to mankind, than
Greece, whom the gods of beauty
loved, or Rome crowned with the
imperial sovereignty of the world
These, and such as these, are the

1. Shechem was a'saered historic spot to
the Israclites. Tie modern city OF Nublus.
with n population Of thirteen thousand,
stands on the site Of old Shecbem, and is the
second city In size in ali Palestine. 1t stands
In the valley between mounts Gerizim and
Ebal. 1t was here Abraham erected his first
altar in Canaan. Jacob encamped near this
spot and erected an altar. Joseph's bones
were buried here. 1t was here, Just after
their first entrance into the promised land
that the people gathered and made the most
solemn promises to God. And here for the
last time Joshua calls them together for the
renewal Of the covenant as in this lesson.
2. Joshua is a most striking illustration Of
courage and fidelity to principle and of
decision OF character. There seems to be a
vein Of sarcasm of humor in his tone as he
exhorts the lsraelites to moose between the
many gods or hcathenism and the true God.
He seems 10 say, you can do as you please,
''but as for me and my house we will serve
the Lord.''
8. There is nothing compulsory in reli-
gion. Men are not machines, but rational
creatures capable of making a FREQ choice
and acting on it. Every man must deter,
mine for himself whether he will take up his
place on the Lords side or the devils.
(Hoss.)
4. The doctrine OF WHOLLY following the
Lord, - is taught here as it is illustrated in
the life of Caleb in our last lesson. An indi-
vidual heart is the condition of successful
service with all people.
S. ave should make our decision now.
''To-day, II We will bear his voice. is the
language Of Scripture and the only time We
have assured US.

THE HUMAN EAR.
A Notable Lecture on the Sense OF
Hearing by DIR, Hartman,

During the course of one of DR.. Hart
man S latest lectures at the Surgical
Hotel, he said: Good hearing is essen
tial to health and safety. n continual
roaring, cracking and buzzing in the
head, which is always produced by
partial loss of hearing, is a constant
nervous irritation which will gradually
undermine the strength. Besides this,
even slight loss of hearing renders
anyone more liable to accident, many
persons being killed every year because
of partial deafness. Many people think
that a gradual loss of the sense of hear
ing is inevitable, and that everyone
must submit to it sooner OF later.
Hence they make no attempt to find IL
cure. This isa great mistake. Loss
of hearing, either in the young or old
people, is nearly always due to chronic
cat#rrh of the head or middle ear"
Catarrhal deafness is due to catarrh
OF the throat passing up through the
eustachian tubes to the middle ear.
The catarrl in rare cases originates in
and remains confined to the middle
ear. The symptoms are: Roaring,
cracking, buzZing IN the ear, with I,
gradually increasing difficulty in hear
ing. If not culed the hearing will be
entirely destroyed. When the case has
not already gone too far before the
treatment is begun Pe-ru-na will cure
every case. 1t is only after catarrh
has destroyed portions of the middle
ear that Pe-ru-na fails to cure. All
such cases should write DR.. Hartman,
Columbus, Ohio, for further advice.
A book on Ia grippe, coughs colds,
catarrh, etc, will be sent free to any
address by the Pe-r,l-na drug company
of Columbus, Ohio.
