The First Money.

1t is difficult to realize that prior to
B. C. 700 there were no true coins,
that ingots or buttons of gold and sill
yer were weighed at every mercantile
transaction. The Lydians of Asia Mi
nor are credited with having been the
first to cast and stamp with an official
device small oval gold ingots, Of def
mite fixed weight, an invention strange
ly delayed, but of inestimable impOr-
tance to industry and commerce. A
coin has been described as "a piece Of
metal Of fixed weight, stamped by au-
thority of government, and employed
as a medium of exchange" Medals,
though struck by authority, are only
historical records and have no curren-
cy value.
The bright, far-dashing intellect of
Greece saw the import Of the Lydian
invention and adopted it quickly, and
every Greek State, nearly every city,
island and colony, established a mint,
generally at some one Of the great
temples, for all early coin types are
religious in character. They bear
symbols of some god as a pledge of
good faith. The offerings, tithes and
rents of the worshippers were coined
and circulated as money. Temples
thus became both mints and banks
Our money" is said to have been de-
rived from the Roman shrine of Sumo
"Moneta" the earliest Latin mint.
The first shape of these early coins
was that of an enlarged cofeeberry,
punched on the rounded side with Of
fetal letters, or sinkings, as they are
called.

GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY.

She stood at the bar of justice,
a creature wan and wild,
In form too small for woman,
In features too old for a child;
For a look so worn and pathetic
Was stamped on her pale young face
1t seemed long years of suffering
Must have left that silent trace.

With kindly look, yet keen,
Is Mary McGuire, please sir,
And your age?-I am turned fourteen
Well, Mary, and then from paper
He slowly and gravely read,
You are charged here, | am sorry to say it
With stealing three loaves of bread.
You look not like an offender,
And hope you can show
The charge to be false. Now tell me,
Are you guilty Of this or no?
4 passionate burst of weeping
Was at first her sole reply;
But she dried her eyes in an instant
And looked in the judges eye.

And my little brother and sisters
Were hungry and asked for bread

Every man in the courtroom
Gray beard and thoughtless youth
Knew, as he looked upon her,
That the prisoner spoke the truth.
Out from pockets came handkerchiefs,
Out from their eyes sprang tears,
And out from old faded wallets
Came treasures boarded for years.
The judges face was study
The strangeSt you ever saw
He cleared his throat and murmured
Something about the law.
For one so learned in such matters,
So wise in dealing with men,
He seemed on a simple question
Sorely puzzled just then.
But no one blamed him, or wondered
When at last the words they heard,
The sentence of this young prisoner
Is for the present deferred.
And no one blamed him or wondered,
When he went to her and smiled,
And tcnderly led from the courtroom

When it was all over Mr.. Moody
came down from the pulpit, and, rest
ing hand on Mr. Sankey's shoulder,
looked with wonder at the newspaper
clipping. My dear friend, he said,
where did you get that song; never
heard anything like it.
THAT, said Mr. Sankey, "is the
hymn read you on the train, the one
YOU didn't hear
And thus the tune of the Ninety
and Nine was born into the world, a
tune which has gone around the world.
As it was sung that day in Edinburgh
by inspiration, so it has been written
down in the hymn books, and so 1t has
been sung in the many languages, and
no note or chord of il has been
changed, nor would Mr. Ssnkey con-
sent to the slightest change, not to
please all the musical critics in the
world.
The critics say they can see moth
ing in the tune of the Ninety and
Nine said Mr. Sankey, smiling.
They can't account for its success
That j, because critics, with their rules
and theories, make no allowance for
inspiration of the soul,
1t is interesting to note that in the
great gathering which thrilled at this
first singing of the Ninety and Nine
was woman back in one of the gal
leries, who was made happy 10y the
singing of these words, since she rec
ognized in them the verses written
three years before by her sister, who
had since died And after the service
she tried to speak to Mr. Sankey and
thank him for what he had done, but
the crush Of people was too great, and
it was only on receiving letter from
this woman that the evangelists came
to know of this incident aud learned
the name of the author Of this hymn.
That name is Elizabeth c. Clephane.
After the first success of the Ninety
and Nine there came many requests
to publish the hymn, but Mr. Sankey
did lot consent to this for a long time,
thinking to get better results by keep
ing it exclusively for their meetings,
especially as they were going into a
part of Scotland where the words
would be particularly appreciated.
And many a time during subsequent
months he had the satisfaction OF see-

as nothing else could.
oddly enough, the name by which
the hymn is now known is not the one
originally given to it by Mr. Sankcy,
who preferred 10 call it The Lost

ope.ing words were The ones that took
Mr.. Moodys fancy, and in giving out
the hymn he would always say Mr..
Sankey will now sing the Ninety and
Nine Several times Mr. Sankey
reminded Mr.. Moody that the song
was about the lost sheep, and not about
the ninety and nine that were safe in
the fold but Mr. Moody would only
smile and say: Never mind, the
Ninety and Nine Is a good name,
and so at last Mr. Sankey had to
change the name and it became what
