by prayer and reading from the Scrip
ture, by the Rev. DR.. Wickham of Port
land, Or. The topic chosen by DIR. Hall
was 1.-The Greatest Book in the World"
''The oldest, the best and the greatest
book in the world" he said, sis the Bible,
and yet it is the most abused. take my
text this evening from the second chapter
of Timothy, fifteenth verse, Show myself
approved unto God
at matters not if we please men, SO long
as we make our lives acceptable to God.
We are apt to misconstrue and misappIy
the word of God. To save ourselves from
falling into these errors, let us read and
study the good book. 1t is the basis of all
true Christianity, and should be APP
preached in the same spirit that we ap-
prosch other books. 1t tells us how TO
live and how to die. 1t is the great text
book of human life.
with all its greatness, it is still COM
paratively simple and easy of comprehen-
sion. 1t is its own interpreter and faritoo
sacred to be used for no other purpose
than to sit upon or as "a receptacle for
chattel mortgages, etc. 1t should be read
and studied thoughtfully, and not in a
desultory, superficial way.
1.-The Bible Is often mlsinterpreted by
picking out verse here and verse there
and then joining the two together. In
this way you can prove, seemingly, any,
thing which you desire. Judas went and
hanged himself, Go, thou, and do like
wise'-they might be cited as a justifca-
ton of suicide.
Preachers make a serious mistake in
applying the old laws OF Moses to the
present generation. It cannot be done
logically. When God said, Remember the
Sabbath day and keep it holy he meant
it only for the Jews Science has never
yet gone farther in explaining the mys-
terry of creation than the first verse of
Genesis, where We are told that God
created heaven and EARTH do not be-
lieve in the six days theory, but hold
that each day was equivalent to great
period.
"What grand characters we see in the
Bible! There is Moses, the chosen leader
of the children of Israel, and Joshua, who
babe the sun to stand still. The thirty
nine books of the Old and the twenty
seven books of the New Testament are
replete with poetry, wisdom and pathos.
The Acts of the Apostles is one of the
most important and al the same time one
of the most neglected books. In the book
OF Revelations, we catch a glimpse of
heaven. Ii is just as requisite for US to
live Christians as it is for us to become
Christians. What we need most to-day is
light, more light, and l know of no better
way 10 get it than by careful study of
the Bible"

A LIGHTNING STROKE.

A German Estimates the Force of One
in Horsepower Measure.
It is no doubt interesting to express the
force of stroke of lightning in horse
power, says writer in German review.
During recent storm which passed over
Klausthal, Germany, bolt struck a
wooden column in dwelling and in the
top of this column were two wire nails
one-sixth of an inch in diameter.
To melt iron In this short time would be
impossible in the largest furnace now in
existence, and it could only be accom-
plshed with the aid of electricity, but a
current OF ZOO amperes and a potential of
10000 volts would be necessary. This cleo
trio force for one second represents 5000
horsepower, but as the lightning accom-
plished the melting in considerably less
time-say one-tenth of a second-it follows
that the bolt was $4,000 horsepower.

thing because it is cheap, and especially
not when that thing is for the good of your
health.
If you buy an Electric Belt it is GER
tainly to your best interest to buy the one
which has built up reputation by its
CURES. After all, cure is what you
want, whatever the cost, and the remedy
that has cured others is most likely to
cure you; and even if it does cost little
more than those whose reputation is built
on bluster, it is cheaper in the end, BE-
CAUSE IT CURES.

Better Work Every Day.

We ought never to be willing to live
any year just Us we lived the last one.
No one is striving after the best things
who is not intent on an upward and a
forward movement continually. The cir.
cular movement is essential, too-the
going around and around in the old
grooves, daily tasks--yet even in this
treadmill round there should be constant
progress. We ought to do the same
things better each day. Then in the
midst of the outward routine our inner
life ought TO be growing in earnestness.
In force, in depth. j. X. Miller.
