the lapse of time, our interest in
attained knowledge becomes fainter
and fainter. Only in the search for,
and acquisition of, further knowledge,
do we find abiding joy. Such, at
least, is the law of our being here and
now. Whether it will be the law of
our being through all eternity, is yet
unrevealed; it doth not yet appear
what we shall be. Another law of
our present being, that the more
frequently we dwell upon an object
by faith, the more we feel its power:
anticipation is one of the most vital
izing influences which the soul can
experience. But see how large a
meaning attaches to this word faith.
1t is pot SO much mental as moral
act. 1t is the surrender of our whole
spiritual selfhood to some profound
conviction concerning realities which
are not the objects of present sight.
It is, as the writer of the Epistle to
the Hebrews puts it, evidence of I'M
seen realities; not evidence amounting
to absolute proof, but a priori, partial
evidence, in the form of the testimony
of our inner consciousness to tie
need of them, and the consequent
probability of their existence. In
another sentence, the same writer
describes faith as the assurance of
things hoped for. In short, faith
concerns itself wholly with things of
the mind and things of the future. It
is not demonstration, but forecast.
Many of the glorious discoveries of
men of science greatly help and
strengthen faith. See how this ap-
pears in the following beautiful
verses. They were printed in The
Inquirer some fifty years ago or more
when astronomy had just given new
planet (Neptune) to the solar system:
Lo where the secret depths of heaven
unfold
The star mems mental vision sooner
saw;
To vindicate the prescience that foretold,
And reconcile anomaly with law.
Thus meier within the shadows of our
sphere,
o faith, the souls astronomer, descend;
But cen from doubts and perturbations
here,
Wisely anticipate world beyond.
Faith is a product of intellect and
heart combined. Let a man have
faith in God, faith in Christ as the
Sent of God, mistaken faith that the
moral government of the universe is
conducted upon principles of right
eousness and love; and though the
world would be in arms against him,
it can never take away from him the
peace and JOY which passeth under
standing, and which fulfils the be-
queathment of Christ to all his true
disciples. Let US not be concerned
to know all things, but rather to be-
lieve all things, hope all things, and
transfgure all things by the spirit of
love. Furthermore, let us rest in
confident assurance that all things
are working together for good in this
and all worlds, though from our very
narrow and limited view of their
working we are not able fully to
understand or grasp the glorious
truth Christian Life.

Jupiter's Arrest Moon.

One of the queereslt of the heavenly
bodies is the satellite that is nearest to
Jupiter. Though it lis bigger than our
moon, its substance is less than half as
light as cork. 1t is also believed that
it is cut in two; and that instead of one
moon, it is really two, and they float
ing so close together that the inhaht-
ants of either hemisphere there be
any habitants-may almost talk to
each other. They are, at least, so close
that it may be possible to have arrang-
ed telegraph system between the two.
Prof. Barnard says if the satellite is
not in two parts, there must be light
belt around it, which is very much like
Jupiter DISTINGUISHING Dispatch.

JAPAN'S GREAT ENTERPRISE IN
AMERICA.
LARGE APPROPRIATION BY I'M.
PERlAL DIET.
To Inform Americans How to Make
Tea.

Several months ago, the japanese Tea
Guild sent to this country a special COM
mission, composed of Mr.. S. Mitsuhashi,
President of the Shizuoka Prefectural AS
sembly, and Mr.. ]. Ohara, member Of
japanese Parliament, to investigate the
condition of the Japanese tea trade in the
United States and Canada and to COOP
crate with Mr.. Z. Furuya and Mr.. L.
Mizutany, the American representatives
of the japanese Tea Guild, in giving pub
licity to the merits Of japanese Teas AMI
the method Of preparing them for drink
ing which would insure the best results.
Mr.. Furuya and Mr.. Mizutany are plan
ming to open Tea Bazars in many of the
principal cities in the United Sta .es and
Canada, where ladies can enjoy cup OF
fine japanese tea made by experts, and at
the same time receive instructions which
will enable them to make it equally we'll
at home. More than half the Tea Con-
sumed in the United States AMI Canada IS
of japanese growth, yet, the majority of
Americans apparently do not understand
how to prepare it so as to develop the
delicious qualities which it contains. 1t
is believed by these gentlemen that, when
Americans are in possession of the secret
OF making gOOO tea, the CouSuluplon AZ
this country will fully equa! that Of Flu
rope in proportion. The Japanese Gov
eminent has appropriated large fund to
aid the japanese Tea growers and Tea
merchants in prosecuting this educational
work, and it is hoped that American "a
dies will be apt students. The main Blu
reau of the japanese Tea Guild has issued
an official recipe for making japanese
Tea, the translation of which is as fol-
lows:
First-Use small, dry and thorough
" clean porcelain teapot.
Second-Put in one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third-When using japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity of fresh boiled
water, and let stand with closed lid from
two to three minutes. Never boil the
leaves. In order to retain the natural ia
vor, japanese tea leaves should be kept
in tight can or jar, free from moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor Of japanese
Teas, neither sugar nor cream should be
used.

The nestiny of the Negro.

What is the destiny of the American
negro? Extinction, emigration or ANAL
samation? In answer to this question
Bishop w. J. Gaines, who is no mean
authority on the subject, says:
THE black race is surely and gradu-
ally becoming absorbed by the white,
that, in the run of years, the black face
will disappear, the evolution being
reached through process of graded
mulatto tints and constantly lessening
African characteristics.
