convenience Of treatment, to recognize. He
Is mind, and heart, and will he thinks, he
loves, he determines. Very much in the
same way probably-how else can we con-

tho completest sense one, we speak OF tho
distinctions in His essence that have taken
the names, Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. IL Is our business to consecrate
70 the trinity above the trinity be-
low, 10 see that all our reflections, our affec-
tions, our yolitions, are a living sacrifice to
the threefold unity divine. Some give their
emotions, but not their intellects. Unless we
love God with the mind as well as the heart,
our character will be defective and our life
unbalanced, Just as our theology will be un-
balanced II we ignore the Son or the Holy
dhost, and simply worship the Father. A
comprehensive conservation Is the only
thing that will make consistent, symmetri-
cal Christians.

A Sand storm of the American De-
sert.
From Harper,s Weekly.

From HarperS Weekly.
That the Great American Desert" still
exists, in spite of strenuous efforts on the
part of certain politicians railroad cor
porations, and other interested parties to
obliterate it from the maps, is fact only
too well Known to many thousands of dis
appointed settlers, army people, prospec-
tors, and travellers over several lines of
railway. Most especially is it in evil
dence on the route of the Southern Pacific
road, and whose tank cars for the trans
portation of water form an important
item of equipment. 1t is true that por-
tions of its unproductive lands are irri-
gable Eat vast eXpenSe), and may thus,
in the distant future, be reclaimed to the
uses of agriculture. At the same time,
it is equally true that wide areas lie so
remote from revivifying influences that,
unless subjected to radical climatic
changes, they must always remain des-
olate, wind-blown wastes exhibiting the
characteristics and phenomena of all des-
erts existing under similar conditions.
With a thunderous roar the sand-storm
hurls itself upon its victims, driving them
before it with irresistible fury. No animate
form may oppose it and live, but man or
beast so i'll fated as to be caught within
its dread radius must submit to be driven
! forward like an autumn leaf, blinded,
choked, and sorely dashed, until some
sheltering lee is reached or the fury of
Allt STORM Is SAHduSLGus IL ne SAuHDlGS
and falls or sinks through weakness, he
is lost and the skeletons of former vic
Tins are stripped of their heaped covering
! to furnish him a sepulchre.
Although the sand-storm is generally
of short duration, 1t sometimes lasts for
hours, and has been known to rage for
days with undated fury. While thus
exercising its evil powers 1t destroys life
and changes the whole aspect Of the coun-
try over which 1t sweeps. moving hills
and valleys to new positions, filling dry
watercourses, burying the little oasis
nourshed by infrequent springs, and OBJ
literating trail. In the old days of slow
moving wagon trains 1t was a menace and
a calamity while even in this era Of rail-
roads it brings distress and peril to the
traveller. 1t hlls the most carefully pro-
tected cars with it's sitting dust, blocks
the track with heavy drifts, cuts down
telegraph poles with its rasp of flinty par
ticles, grinds clear glass into opaqueness,
and in thousand ways renders life mis-
cradle and a burden.
