"It Isl; Be Not Afraid"

Is it stormy weather with thee? Do cares,
~lisappointments. bereavements, as heavy
cloud, deluge thee with sorrow2 Do spirit
ual troubles assail thee as hurricane and
drive hither and thither thy harassed soul!
Do the winds and the waves beat upon
thy frail bark, SO that it seems about to
sink? 80 thou afflicted. tossed with tempest
and not comforted," listen to the voice OF
Jesus, who comes to thee in the storm walk
ing upon the water. and says, ut is I; be
not afraid" The design OF religion is to
make US of good cheer. This world is in
deed vale of tears, but the Man of sorrows
has visited it, that we may rejoice We are
surrounded by causes of alarm, but the
gospel bids us fear not. And that which alone
can enable us to be of good cheer amidiso
rows and of good courage amid perils, is
the presence of our God and Saviour. To
believe in Him as always near, always kind
always mighty to save, is the true and sole
antidote to fear and grief. 1t is only in pro-
portion as we recognize His voice as that OF
friend, saying, 1T is T." that we can comply
with His exhortation, "Be OF good cheer be
not afraid"

Believe and Be Saved.


S'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, ar:
thou shalt be saved, y is the only, and it is q
sufficient answer to every anxious sinner
seeking refuge from the storm. You must
seek for comfort in Christ, or you will seek
lin vain. But apply to Him, and you cannot
fail. Say as Peter did when he began to
sink, ''Save, Lord, or perish and He will
put forth his hand at once. 1t is already
held out to you. Lay hold Of it by faith, and
salvation is yours. "Behold the
Lamb of God, which taketh away
the, sin of the world. Look unto me,
and be ye saved" You are invited to re-
gard Him not as the Creator. but the Sa-
viour, not as the Judge, but the Advocate;
not as the Ruler, but the Mediator. When
conscience accuses, hear Him say, sit is L;
who have fully atoned for thy sins; l who
have blotted them all out by my blood" }"
When the thought of God alarms, listen to His
voice. 1T is /; who have made peace by the
blood of the cross; I. by whom the just God
becomes the justifier of the ungodly."
when the painful conviction of shortcom-
lngs, after all our striving, overwhelms,
again He says. SIT is l.; I whose white robe
will cover all thy filthy rags, l, from whose
perfect obedience, and not from thy own
unworthiness, thou artto look for acceptance
with God" When sense of weakness and
inability to cope with the many difficulties
and dangers which surround US, depresses
the mind, again His voice is heard, "It Is l.;
who have engaged to perform things for
thee; who will never leave thee nor for
sake thee.n

"The school of God."i

In these days of hurry and hustle we find
ourselves face to face with a terrible dan
ger; and it is this-no time to be alone with
God. The world, in these last days, is run
ming fast; we live in what is called 'slhe age
of progress" and ''you know we must keep
pace with the times.'' So the world says.
But this spirit of the world has not con-
fined itself to the world. 1t is, alas! to be
found among the saints of God And
what is the result? The result is-no time
to be alone with God, and this is i'm
mediately followed by no inclination to be
alone with God. This desert life," as
some may call it, is of an Importance that
cannot be overvalued. Let US turn to the
pages of Gods Book. On scanning its
precious pages we find that the men of
sGod-God's mighty men-were those
who had been in 1.-The school of God,' as
1t has we'll been called; and His school was
simply this-.In the desert alone with
Himself" 1t was there they got their
teaching. Far removed from the din and
hustle of the haunts of men-distant alike
from human eye and ear-there they met
alone with God there they were equipped
for the battle. And when the time came
that they stood forth in public service for
God, their faces were not ashamed--nay,
they had faces as lions they were bold and
fearless, yea, and victorious for God for
thst5attle had been won already In the
s5Ssert alone with Him.-London Christian.

BEDoUINS WHO KNIT.
Wild Chiefs of the Desert Spend Mucf
Time in Making Stockings.

Wild Chiefs of the Desert Spend Much
Time in Making Stockings.
The traveller in the East who sees
for the first time man in the prime
of life knitting stocking as he walks
the street or sits at his house door is
apt to wonder if the wearing of wo-
mems clothes hasn't something to do
with the adoption of work usually
thought feminine But nobody can
watch long-skirted Arab Jump nim
bly, aboard a trolley car or make fly
ing leap for ferryboat with dirty
streak of Nile water between it and
the shore and not demand another ex-
PLANTATION. The Arab is not womanish,
whatever his failings In Egypt fancy
work is distinctively and logically
masculine.
'sFor what you do that?" asked
Bedouin guide, as he squatted beside
an American woman who was sewing.
81 make sew; my wife work for me-.
The Bedouin meant that woman's
natural occupation is field work and
that it was the American woman's hus-
band who, freed by his wife's labor
from heavier cares, should be enabled
to spend in needlework his elegant
leisure A Bedouin is lazy, but he is
not idle, like an American Indian.
He will not do heavy work if there is
woman to do it for him, but an easy
task like knitting he doesn't at all
mind
The telegraph operator at Helouan,
Egypt, turns a pretty penny by his
cleverness this way Helouan is
health resort in lower Egypt much
favored by invalids who are unable to
bear the voyage up the Nile. It is
smallish village in an artificial oasis,
and the telegraph Office has little or
no business except that furnished by
tourists. The operator, tall, tur-
baned Arab, sits on the mastaba be-
side the door and knits on brown-and-
white striped stocking. He never
gets more than halfway down the leg,
for an ennuied patient is sure to come
along and, bored by the deadly dull
ness of the place, examine and buy
Mustapha's fancy work. Then Musta-
pha turns the stocking over to some
member of his family to finish and
starts another pair.
Arabs knit as they ride through the
desert swaying to and fro on camels.
They knit in the green pastures Of the
Nile tending sheep. They knit some
times in the cafes while smoking mar
ghilehs: They shuf'e through the
narrow lanes of the bazaars knitting.
They use very long needles and
coarse wool. The product of their in
dustry is a seryiceable stocking, yell
lowish-white, blue and white or brown
and white. It is strictly utilitarian,
never ornamental. They knit slowly,
for s'does not the sun rise every
morning?" They knit on the tails of
carts, and, in view of their persistence,
it is surprising that such majority
of them go barefooted. New York

The Cider Question.

The Temperance Cause devotes consider
able space to the cider question, and gives
the testimony of men in different countries,
all going to show the mischievous infiu-
ences of the cider mill. In these are some
very strong statements, which it would be
we'll for any who have doubts as to the
righteousness of prohibiting its sale to
read. The editor Of the Temperance Cause,
Rev. Mr.. Noon, says editorially:
@'We wage no war against the orchard:
The apple is easily our leading fruit, and
will be for century. 1t is healthful, and
has no substitute, raw or cooked. There
are many legitimate uses for the juice OF
apples. Boiled down into a thin syrup,
say one-fourth it's volume, it does not fer
ment, and is extremely useful for pies and
sauce. Reduced to jelly, nothing can be
finer for relish. The poorer fruit may be
fed freely to stock. Many farmers claim
that the fruit, properly administered,
makes excellent milk or beef, and needs no
more skill in feeding than cotton seed. It
Is an open question whether the decayed
apples are not of considerable value as
fertilizer, particularly in sandy soil. Al
most the only decent vinegar is made from
cidern

Folly to Brood-Our Greater Work.
Because the bitter winds are out,
And the mellow days of autumn gone
Because the storm-fends run and shout
And scrawl red fingers on the dawn,
Should We lose hope, and weeping say,
sour Joy is hid meath the drift on the
lawn;
and love was buried yesterday,
And the tender mercy of God withdrawn"
Nay, nay, for the very winds that blow
Heavy with death will come again
With April music, and none will know
That life held ever tear or pain.
The lilac that sways so naked today,
With twistless arms to the sunless sky,
Will see the spring coming the same old way,
And shake out her green leaves merrily.
so heart, my heart, though today be drear,
And Joy be burdened with doubt awhile,
Know that God holds you a smile and a tear.
And tomorrow, perchance, you will see
him and smile.

Wanted a Safety.

Aftera middle aged citizen of Second
avenue had sufficiently recovered to
walk with cane he covered the re-
manning cuts and bruises on his face
with court plaster and went down to
see the man who sold him the bicycle.
He was determined to keep cool and
had his neighbor along as witness,
cautioning him to note carefully every
thing that was said.
"You sold me bicycle No. about
two months ago." began the GONZALES
cent cripple when face to face with the
dealer. Kindly refer to your books
and see whether am correct.

fectly, sir"

was safety bicycle, and as good a
safety as there was in the market?"
"I presume I told you that. It is
so, at all events.

writing to show that you sold me safety
bicycle SO and so on such date?"
'sNot at all; I'll do SO with pleasure. !"

Christ Must Make You.

If you are to lie anything in the world,
Christ must make you. You can succeed
only by His permission and help. Have you
let Him into your life to work and to build
up and to transform? You are neighborly
with Him; but that will not do. He must be
allowed to become something more thap
vonr neighbor. He must be ad
mitted into your heart. He must be
allowed to abide at the very focus
of your being and in the very springs OF
your life Mere neighborliness would never
have made Paul or John. 1t took personal,
enthusiastic faith and love and surrender to
make them. That you may reach the goal OF
life. that you may realize your best possible
self, that you may be what Christ can make

1t DeSrades a Man.

Drunkenness degrades a man and drags
aim to a level lower than the beast. The
likeness of a man to God is blotted out by
this sin. All that is noble in man comes
from his SOUL The men who have lived
the best lives and done the most good in
the world are those who have subdued
their passions. Statistics tell US that
three-fourths of the crimes committed are
done while under the influence of strong
drink. Sixty-five per cent. OF the convic-
tions for crimes can be traced to drink, and
a large per cent. of the poverty throughout
the land.

A Physicians Advice.

DR.. Dash, successful physician in the
West, returned to his old home lately after
a long absence, and visited the college in
which he had been educated. Twenty
years ago." he said to group of students,
II graduated in this hall. There were
eighteen men in my class. OF the eighteen.
six drank habitually while at college. Not
to excess, but regularly glass or two
each day. Not one of these men has sue
ceeded in attaining fortune, reputation, or
even a respectable position. But they we're
among the ablest men in the class.
s'While at college was in the habit of
frequenting the daily newspaper office
here. There were ten men in it-editors
and reporters-I knew them ala lot Of
bright, jolly fellows. The work was hard,
the hours late, the meals irregular. Every
man in the Office drank but one, a reporter,
Ben Perry. One of the reporters told me he
had seen Ben come from fire at two
O'Clock in the morning, drenched to the
skin and tired out He would look visit
fully at the whisky bottle, but he never
touched it. I inquired for the boys to-day.
Three had died from drinking; six were
holding inferior positions in newspaper
offices. Habits bad,' said my informant.
They could not make their way, and so fell
lower and lower. Perry's head was always
clear, and he was regular at his work. He
is editor-in-chief of one of the principal
newspapers in a sea-board city. He had
not half the natural ability of at least three
of the Others
.'sThese are facts" said the doctor. 81
advise you who are beginning life to con-
slider them. have not a word to say about
the moral question involved in drinking.

Doesn't Realize the Danger Point.


AS rule no young man ever paid for his
first drink Did you ever think of it, or
what that part implies? 1t means that your
brother, your son or somebody's son, who
perhaps has been carefully trained, had
made acquaintance who, through SINH
lar process had become drinkers and, at
last, either occasionalsor frequent visitors
to get something to steady my nerves.
The ordinarily well trained young man
will resist these invitations possibly for a
long time, but on some special outing, or
under special circumstances he accepts the
proffered s'treat''-not realizing that in so
doing he has crossed the danger line.
Once treated he feels under social obli-
cation to return the compliment and he is
we'll started on the broad highway which
is certain to end in mental and physical in
jury, but with all the probabilities OF a
happy future against him.
Indeed his chances are no better than
those of thousands have seen in the rags
of tramps-in the ranks of embezzlers, de-
faulters and forgers-or confined in our
public institutions:
In a living grave apart from men,
The mind tormented with the might have

Of wasted years, mid which the striving
Quaffs bitter gall from sorrows fateful
