THE OLDEST LOCK.

The oldest lock in existence is the one
which formerly secured one of the doors
of Nineveh. says the ST. Louis Republic.
1t is a gigantic affair, and the key to it,
which is as large as one man can conven-
iently carry, reminds one of the Script
ural reference to such instruments be-
ing carried on the shoulder. The exact
words are: And the key to the house of
David | will lay upon his shoulder"
This key to the lock from Mo even is
nearly three and half feet in length
and of the thickness of four inch drain
tile. 1t was found at the end of ruined
chamber, where alarge wooden dc o had
probably once stood. the gigantic brass
hinges and heavy bars being still in fair
condition. The relic has few points of
resemblance to the keys of modern man
ufacture. or even to those of the early
part of the Christian era. The tubular
idea had never been thought out in
those days, but the key is fearfully and
wonderfully made. being equally as in
tricate a piece of machinery as the lock
in which it was used. A great many of

The great lateral iron ars at the end

CHRISTIAN MANNERS.

The best manners come from the
highest culture of head and heart. The
Christian life is the outgoing of the
great purposes within of kindness, puri
ty and honesty. The waters of foun-
tain do not study the steps they shall
take as they go bounding down the val
ley. They leap and sing from little
forces that reside in themselves. Peace
oa earth and good will to men must ever
be the great law of our social methods.
Books of politeness are we'll. Graceful
street manners are worthy of our stndy.
Our habits at table should all be in
good and delicate taste. In mingling
with our equals there are proprieties
which we must always observe, and not
transcend. With those who rank above
us we are to be respectful but not SER
vile. The best hammered people do not
offend their interiors by naughty airs
and social scorn. Courtesy is due all
men. If there are gentlemen in broad
cloth, there are such in fustian. They
may be found in the mechanics shop as
in the Senate hall. Where love and
purity abide, there the best manners
will prevail, whether it be on the Brus-
sells floor of the millionaire or in the
rude home of poverty.
Our religion is not ascetic. 1t gives
play to the widest social freedom. 1t
presents the broadcast social idea. 1t is
the enemy of caste. The politeness of
the world is often cruel and narrow.
Equipage is more than brains. Birth is

MISSOURI NOTES.
KANSAS CITY.

Though we are still somewhat handi-
capped here by being obliged to hold our
services in hall. yet we have every rea-
son for encouragement. A few days
since we passed the first anniversary OF
the arrival of our pastor, and as we look
back upon the year that has gone, we
feel that it has given US many promis-
ing signs of bright future for our
church.
On Monday evening. November 30. we
were accorded a privilege, which is not
often within our reach, that of having
our faith presented to mixed audience.
One of the friends our church, who
makes his home at one of the hotels of
the city. arranged for gathering of
many of the guests of the hotel, to
listen to talk by our pastor. Rev.
Chas. r. East, on 1.-The Justice of God"
Several expressed their approval of
the sentiments of the speaker. and We
are hoping that the occasion may prove
fruitful for our church.

CHICAGO.-St. PauI's.-Dr. Garfield
preached at st. Paul's church Sunday
morning on wishing for Better Times"
Among other things be said
This is the wishing season of the year.
Children are holding secret correspon-
dence with Santa Claus. Politicians
are wishing they might catch some of
the plums popularity supposed TO be
available after election. Manufacturers
traders and spectators are on tiptoe
regarding the predicted better times.
The very atmosphere is full of longings-
eager and impetus desires. The church
takes note of this widespread temper
and during the season of advent points
it's lessons with the mighty Messianic
expectation. which eliminated in the
birth of the historic Christ.
Even where two or three are gathered
and actuated by common ambition for
doing good, no known arithmetic can
c,mpute what may be done for human
improvement.
