THE ESSENCE OF cHRIsTL1NEss.

The art Of photography is now 30 perfect
that the whole side Of great newspaper
can be taken in miniature so small as to be
carried in little pin or button, and yet
every letter and point be perfect. So the
whole life OF Christ is photographed in one
little phrase-"not to be ministered unto,
but to minister" He came not to be
served-if this had been His aim He would
never have left heavens glory, where
He wanted nothing, where angels praised Him
and ministered unto Him. He came to
serve. He went about doing good. He al
together forgot Himself. He served all He
met who would receive His service. At
last He gave His life in uttermost service
giving it ransom for others. He came
not to be ministered unto, but to minister
You say you want to be like Christ. You
pray Him to print His own image on your
heart. Here, then, is the image. 1t is NO
vague dream Of perfection that we are to
think OF when we ask to be made like
Christ. The old monks thought that they
were in the way to become like Christ when
they went into the wilderness, away from
men, to live in cold cells or on tall columns.
But that is not the thought which this pic
ture suggests. "To min!ster" that is the
Christlike thing. Insteal Of fleeing away
from the world we are to live among men,
to serve them, to seek to bless them, to do
them good. to give our life for them.-J. L.
Miller, D. D.

The Latest in Guns,
Copyright, ls0;

The so-called dynamite gun is really
a powder pneumatic gun, which throws
projectile containing explosive
gelatin by means of compressed air.
The gun has three barrels. The
middle, or longest barrel, in which
the projectile is placed, is ten feet
long. The breech is closed, and
cartridge containing six ounces OF
smokeless powder is inserted in the
right. hand tube and locked in. The
gun is elevated. The pulling Of the
lanyard explodes the powder cart.
ridges. its gases are forced forward
and through port which opens into
the left-hand tube. They then find
their way back to the breech, and,
pressing behind the proiectile, eject
it. The bore Of the gun is two and
half inches. The projectile may be
hurled mile and half. The charge
of four pounds of explosive gelatin
mows down cavalry and infantry with
in radius of fifty feet of where 1t
strikes. 1t is said people may be in
jured more than one hundred feet
from the place of explosion. Its effects
are demoralizing, and the rervous
shock is severe. The gun makes
neither noise nor smoke, and an
enemy's ranks are decimated without
the soldiers being able to see whence
the blow comes. The gun weighs 27O
pounds; mounted, $50 pounds. 1t can
be operated by four men, who can
draw it around. 1t can be quickly
manufactured in an ordinary shop,
and operated from tugs or even
launches.

JESUS INSISTS ON OBEDIENCE.

Obedience is everything in Christian
life. We are told that without faith it is i'm
possible to please God. but faith can usually
be spelled o-b-e-d-i-e-n-c-e. Obedience is
necessary always to prove our faith. Faith,
without works. is dead" Some people
think that believing sound creed makes
one religious. But Jesus insists on obe-
dience. He says that mere hearing His
words without doing them is building on
sand. and that all who build on such a foun-
dation will be swept away when the floods
come. Creeds are important. We must
have true beliefs about God and His truth.
but no matter how right our creeds are, II
we do not follow Christ and do His will, all
our beautiful religion will be but snowy
house built on the sand which some day will
be carried away in life's fioods.-Forward.

He rose and leveled the revolver at
Prescott, who looked at him with noble

He smiled incredulously. He had
rested the muzzle Of the revolver on

his asrect and personality had ever at
all enthralled her. Her really pene-

small talent had taught her the types
which have strength OF soul, and those
which have only strength OF nature;
and what had once struck her as vital
merit now appeared to be the coarse
husks enwrapping a divine vitality,
which in many young people, as in
Grenfell, is undeveloped. But how
subtly this young genius veiled his or

Ancient Barley Loaf.
Bread 44O0 wears old was n

Bread 4400 years old was recently
presented by Professor Wittmack, OF
the Berlin High School of Agriculture
to the Horticultural Congress at
Munich. 1t was piece of Egyptian
barley broad, baked of flour roughly
ground. 1t has grown almost black
in the course of time, but after piece
ii it was bleached by the use OF am
moria, the structural peculiarities of
barley could be recognized without
trouble under the microscope. An.
other test of its genuineness was that
when brought into contact with iodine,
, crumb of this old bread took she
blue color peculiar to iodine starch.
This piece of bread was taken from
one of the Egyptian graves at Karnak
and had become so hard that some
lo-ce was necessary to cut off crumb.

Where is the task that terrifies the man

You may darken his life. but he has this in
ner light. You may make war about him,
but he has this peace within. You may turn
the world into hell, but he carries this in

He is like Christ Himself he has meat to
eat that we know not of, and in the strength
of it he overcomes o. last, and is conqueror
