The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and |
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
nv children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have Just received a lot of the

Feed Themselves.

Nobody does anything well for moth
ing, and certainly not lawyer. Lord
Mansfield was so sensible OF this that
when on one occasion he had to attend
TO some professional business of his own
he took some guineas out of his purse
and put them into his waistcoat pocket
TO give him the requisite stimulus. Sir
Anthony Malone, an Irish attorney gem
eral, was so imprudent as to omit this
precaution and was grievously punish
ed for it, for he was so inattentive re-
garding some property he bought for
himself that he lost G3, 900 year by
It. In future he caused his clerk to
make an abstract Of the title deeds CT
any property he bought and lay it be-
fore him with fee of 8 guineas, prop
erly Endorsed, which the clerk was
scrupulously to account for. after which
Sir Anthony made no more mistakes, as
regarded at least his own affairs. -Sar

One day Jedediah grew querulous

him, but when tho hollow eyed wife
suggested apple dumplings he folded
his hands resignedly and sighed. On
the strength of that sigh Mrs, Cronce
prepared IL large and luscious dump

With much complaint the suffering
farmer drew his Chair to the board, tuck

dumplings brown and steaming. One

a Famous Palace.

The Chateau de Rambouillet, which
liz now the favorite residence of the
president of the French republic, has
history remote from the literary fad OF
the eighteenth century which has made
the word Rambouillet significant of an
epoch of French culture. 1t was in this
chateau that Francis L breathed his last
and Charles X was deserted in his
death. 1t is not generally known, how
ever, how Louis XVI became its proprl-
etor. Until 1856 Rambouillet belonged
to the Due de Penthievre, grandson OF
Louis XIV and Mime. de Montespan.
Louis XVI wished very much to possess
it. This desire became a fixed passion,
which was augmented by his dislike OF
its owner. But one day he declared,
"The possession of Rambouillet would
be the happiness of my life" To which
the duke graciously replied: "God for
bid that / should be the cause of your
unhappiness, Sire, Rambouillet is yours
ON your own terms. " The price fixe'l
was II, 900, 900 francs, of which 6, 600,
600 were paid the next day in gold from
khe royal treasury.

ToPIc.-Rovivals at home and in mission
helds.-H Chron. xxx. 1927. "a missionary
topic.)
This chapter tells the story of re-
markable revival. TWAS brought about
under the direction of Hezekiah, the
good king of Israel, who had succeeded
Ahab, the wicked king. The story real
ly occupies the twenty ninth as we'll as
the thirtieth chapter. 1t places before us
in an interesting and striking manner
the characteristics of revival in reli-
gion, whether at home or on mission
fields. Taking in the whole story, we
find these characteristics to be:
l. A consciousness of need. Hezekiah
realized this need. God had been neg
lected. He had been forsaken. The
doors Of the temple had been closed, the
lamps put out and neither incense was
burned nor burnt offerings offered. The
consciousness of need is a necessary ele-
ment to a true revival in religion. Men
must be made to feel their need of a
Saviour before they will come to Him
to be saved.
2. Preparatory steps. /. The first step
was reformation among the religious
leaders. Hezekiah summoned the priests
and Levites and ordered them to sanct-
fly themselves A revival must begin
with Gods people in the first place.
This is what revival means-a reviving
of those who are already Christians.
Awaken the church and the world will
be awakened. Revive the saint and the
sinner will easily and speedily be re.
vived. g. Obstacles overcome. There
will always be apparent obstacles in the
way of a revival. The regular time foi
the passover, which was to be used in re-
viving the people, had passed by short
time. Many would argue that they
should wait the regular coming OF the
time again. But Hezekiah believed thai
now the iron was hot and it was time
to strike. So applying law to the con
gregation which gave individuals thu
permission to keep the passover in the
second month he determined to cele
brate it in the second month. Cod
laws will point out some way OF over
coming difficulties if we are sincere ant
IN earnest 3. Invitations were sent out
The king issued decree calling upol
.he people to return to God. Some mock
ed it, but others needed it. There vii
always be Knockers and scoffers, but still
the work should be done. Invitation
should be given to all to come to Co
and TO the church. Personal solicitation
is a very important preparatory step t
revival. People must be brought I'M
der the influences of the gospel, an
nothing will bring them quicker than
kind personal invitation.
3. The revival. The time came. Go
was present. The people were present
There was earnest prayer The peopl
turned from idols. There was spirite
music. 1t was great success.
