SPIRITUAL rOop.

When the water docs not come into your
house In tho winter time. why il it, Be-
cause there Is plug Of lee In the pipes.
And that Is why there IS 50 little water Of
life In our experience, because W. have
stopped tho conectiag medium with our
cold. There are three things needed for
lifc-fOod. air and exercise. For food you
have got Christ. the bread. See that YOU
feed upon Hin. For air you have got the
respiration otprayer. See that you draw
the lite-brrath into your veins thereby
For exercise you have got Christian work
and daily living In your shops your studies
your kitchens, your nurseries or wherever
Gods providence ~cts you. See that YOU
bring your Christianity into operation and
then 1t will flourish. Alexander Maclarcn,
ID. II.

and by 40 doing would prevent AN over

of the Eastern Association OF Pig Iron
Manufacturers asking that they send a
representative to Philadelphia To attend a
meeting TO be held on Wednesday, July l5
An informal meeting was held at sharon
last week, and u committee of live was ap-
pointed to formulate n plan ~ organization.
The paper sets forth that the manufacturers
are confronted 10y u very serious condition Of

posing that the 20 pounds pressure is be-
Ing used up all the time and that II you
could watch the machine long enough
the compressed air would be used up
and the machine would stop. However,
the machine certainly ran as strongly at
the end of 90 minutes as it did at the be-
ginning.
Mr.. Rober declared, Of course, that the
90 pounds Of pressure wouldn't be and
hadn't been used up and would last as
long as the machine remained alright,
being constantly rs-suppiied
1t Ger taiuly looks that way, for there
is the air being constantly sucked in.
But this can he explained as an effect
of the moving of the piston and not a
cause of it, and of course that piston can
be moved by the storage power of COM
pressed air as long rs 1t lasts.
The only question seems to be, will the
machine run as long as Mr.. Rober says
1T will? Is it self-supporting? Mr.. Rohel
says it will, but then seeing is believing
and we didn't see 1t demonstrated wheth-
er that 90 pounds of pressure could be
