A party of linemen under the super

He Saw the Minister.

There was once a Scotch farmer,
famed for his strength, who was often
challenged by people from distance
who had heard of his reputation. One
day there arrived from London Lord ID. t,
well known amateur pugilist. He
found the Scot working in field

the farmer seized him round the mid

resumed his work. His lordship slowly
gathered himself together, whereupon
the farmer said, "Well, have you any
thing more to say to me?" "No," re-
piled Lord d., ''but perhaps you'll be
so good as to throw me my horse.

Finding Their Food.

1t is really surprising in how high
ATTITUDES are to be found animals that
live on heritage, thriving as though pas
turage were abundant. The musk OK,
the reindeer, the hare and the lemming
belong TO this order, and they are all
found as far north as explorers have yet
gone
These creatures have TO feed under
the snow for large part of the year
They remove the covering with the hoof
or the paw, as we sometimes see sheep
paw the snow from grass, and feed over
large pieces of ground even when the
snow is several inches iii depth
The reindeer and the musk OK, on the
other hand, live where the ground is
covered with snow almost all the year
round AS they rove over wide ex-
panse of territory it is not to be sup
posed that they become familiar with
any particular spots which they remem-
Der as good feeding ground
Under such conditions they must be
guided in their search either by the
sense of smell or by something in the
appearance of the snow above the moss
on which they feed. Arctic travellers
have rather favored the opinion that
these animals relied upon the appear
ance of the snow.
AS showing the power of the sense of
smell in another order of creatures, Sir
John Ross relates that he shot hare
in autumn during violent snowstorm,
which buried it out of sight and pre-
vented him from finding it. In the fol-
lowing spring two ravens, being the
first birds to migrate northward, were
observed digging industriously in the
snow.
Recollecting the circumstance of hav-
ing lost some game thereabout in the
autumn before, he repaired to the spot
and arrived just in time to pick up his
hare, for which the ravens had eXca-
waited through depth of IL feet of firm
snow.

DO You Know Him?

1t is in religion as in all other depart
ments of life, much misapprehension
and misunderstanding prevails until
one comes to have a clear personal eX-
perience. How differently many per.
sons seem after you come to know them
intimately! Formerly they seemed cold
and distant, now we know them to be
warm hearted and responsive So with
Christ. To know Him afar off is to be
repealed. To enter the charmed circle
of His personal friendship is to possess
a fellowship which is capable of arous-
ing all our better nature and kindling
our devotion. No other companionship
has ever equaled this. Paul, who had
been an enemy once, when brought face
to face with Jesus yields to His fasci
nation the charm of perfect purity and
intense love, and is himself changed
into a new man. The very life of the
Christ seems transferred to him. He is
ever seeking fuller knowledge and init
macy "That may know Him and the
power of His resurrection and the fell
lowship of His sufferings. Do you
know Jesus Christ in this way?

Results Of the Conventions,

Never before have such immense re-

continent as during the past summer at
San francisco and Toronto Immense
labor and large sums of money have
been expended Some have made great
exertion and practiced months of sharp
self denial to be able to attend What
compensation has been received? What
gain shall be had from them? This is
right question to ask We ought to see
great increase in zeal, marked deepen
ing in the spirit of devotion in our local
chapters. Not recreation, in the sense
of mere pleasure, will be sufficient gain
There should be new impulse of heart,
a broadening of the horizons of thought,
a steadier beating of spiritual pulse and
manifest uplift of the whole life

Extra SensatiOnalism,

Extra sensationalism? What do you

M.-Topic, Origin and D.vel-
opment of the Church
SCRIPTURE READINo.-Eph. A. 100

scripture READiNG.-Eph. ii, 1922
In the temple at Jerusalem none but
israelites were permitted to enter the
inner and higher courts. The outer and
lower Enclosure, which was added in
the time Of Herod, was considered not
part OF the original sanctuary. and so,
as less holy, was open to the gentiles
between the two parts was a marble
balustrade or fence with openings at
intervals. At these gateways were tab
lets with warnings to those of alien
birth not to enter the real sanctuary on
penalty of death.
Paul uses this as an illustration of
the spiritual separation of men. Israel
possessed knowledge of the true nature
or God and promises of a fuller revela-
tion OF the will of Jehovah and the
coming Of the true Man, who should
lead all men to know and serve the true
GOD. No other people had such knowl-
edge and promises nor the ordinances
OF worship which symbolized the purity
OF God and godly men and were pro-
phetic of the future redemption. The
nations were sharply separated in wor-
ship from the true people of God. Sal
walton was of the Jews
Christ possessed and revealed the holy
nature of God in His life and death and
offered to impart the same to all who
would accept it. This fulfilled all the
promises to Israel, completed all signs
and ordinances Of Judaism and insti-
tuted the new order of the church uni
versal. 1t gave the same opportunity of
salvation 10 gentiles as to Jews. Trust
III God, acceptance of the leadership of
Jesus Christ and obedience to His com
mands were the conditions of member
ship. No separation between the Jews
and gentiles was to longer continue
The old distinctions were abolished

ed to all who would receive. Member

GAMES FOR HALLOWEEN.
Fireside Diversions In Keeping With the
Traditions of All Saints Day.

Any innocent joke, perpetrated in a
spirit of friendly mischief, will beft Hal
loween night. The idea of the olden time
conferred around the pairing of lad and
lass, hence the chestnuts were put before
the fire to test the future of those whose
names they bore. If they burned steadi-
ly, the courtship would go WELL if they
popped apart, the course of true love
would not run smooth. HandglaSses
with apples beside them, should be placed
here and there, SO that the modern Eve
may cat her apple and wait for Adam to
peep over her shoulder
Greater pleasure however, will be found
in the games which all may play. The
tub of water with floating apples which
must be lifted out by the teeth alone, and
the fork suspended from the ceiling, with
its lighted candle at one end and the
apple, from which bite is to be taken at
the other, will cause much merimcnt.
The search for the ring in -four is also
much enjoyed. The -four containing n
ring is packed upon large platter. The
guests each cut off q slice with "a knife,
and the one uncovering the ring must pick
it up with his teeth.
Lead, melted in large iron spoons, may
be dropped in water and fortunes told
from the shapes which it assumes. Great
amusement may be had by placing two
hickory nuts about three inches apart on
the hearth in front of an open fire One
is supposed to represent the girl who
places it there and the other her as yet
undeclared but mentally chosen lover
Should the nuts burn brightly, happy
marriage will result. Should the nut
named after the man jump toward the
nut named after the girl, she may expect
u proposal before the next new moon.

associate membership in the church,
but such a condition seems to have
grown up in time. There are many
whose names are on the roll of member

the work They may have been convert
ed at some time in the past, but Ger.
tainly need to be turned again from
their present course and practices In
the Methodist Episcopal church this is
serious condition. A backslidden and
cold Christian is often a greater him
drance to the work of God than an open
sinner. Be one thing or another. "Ye
cannot serveGod and Mammon. " Choose
one or the other. Get into active MEM
bership in the church or the world. AS
