Passengers on a West Shore train trav-
cling along the bank of the Hudson river
witnessed an interesting sight the other
day When near Storm King mountain
they heard an ear-piercing scream, and
on looking out of the car windows saw n
flock feagles. five Of which alighted on
an ice foe in the river. The train was
rounding n curve caused by n cove. and
the birds. being not more than 200 feet
away, were in plain sight for several min
utes. About thirty other eagles. soaring
some two hundred feet IN the air. sud-
denly dropped down close TO the surface
of the river. and flew in a solid mass for
n considerable distance in the same direc-
ton I'm which the train was moving thus
affording a rare sight for the passengers.
Finally they arose straight up I'm the air
and disappeared from view. The Incl
dent IS described in the New York Times"
by n Kingston correspondent. who says
that the eagles are old acquaintance to
residents Of that locality. and that they
are the famous Storm King brood which

Here is a whole sermon in a SEN
tence by Hannah Moore: He who
cannot find time to consult his Bible
will find one day that he has time to
be sick; he who has no time to pray
must find time to die; he who can find
no time TO reflect is most likely to find
time to sin; he who cannot find time for
repentance will find an eternity in
which to suffer for himself"
Whatsoever it is that presses thee. 90
tell thy Father; put over the matter
into His hand, and so thou shalt be
freed from that dividing. perplexing
care that the world is full of. When
thou art either to do or suffer anything.
when thou art about any purpose or
business, go tell God of it and acquant
Him with it; yea, burden Him with it..
and thou hast done for matter of car

diligence in thy duty, and dependence
on Him for the carriage of thy matters.

INDIVIDUALITY AND SERVICE.

Our best service is intimately related
to our personality. 1t bears our I'M
a..e and superscription," is character
isric of ourselves. Just like him IS
the familiar saying of a characteristic
action. The personal equation has
deepest significance in determining the
value of any act. 1t made TWO mites,
offered by the poor widow, OF greater
worth in the Masters eyes than the
sum of the golden crowns poured INTO
the treasury by all others. Christ's
standards are not absolute, but relative.
He looks not so much for the mint
mark Of the coin as for the monogram
of individuality, the signature which
determines the moral value OF deed.
individuality determines the direc-
ton of service as well, making this nat
ural and easy for one which might be
ouite impossible for another. The
seif-same Spirit, dividing to every man
severally as he viii" exercises his SOW
reignty in the sanest manner, rein
forcing each personal characteristic TO
the needful power for combined har-
mony and efficiency. Pentecostal power
was the resultant of union or divine
with human personalities. The one was
not lost or suppressed in the other. we
recognize Peter in the Acts as that 81
mon we know so well in the gospels.
In both individuality is a determining
factor of service. Acts shows a revised
and corrected edition Of the gospel
Peter.
In the little village Of Bethany one
family made Jesus a welcome guest.
How familiar are the members OF that
household, Martha, the busy housewife,
serving in her way. doubtless pleasing
the wayfaring Master with her choice
dishes: Mary serving, too. Were she
usually a sentimental idler, Martina
would not have intruded her ungracious
words of complaint. But Mary's deeper
intuition taught her when and how to
render the silent service OF waiting at
Jesus feet to hear his words. Later
when these friends would honor the
Lord who had raised their brother from
the grave. they made him a supper.
Martha served again in her way or
manual skill. Mary turned the supper
into a sacrament, the Saviour discov-
ering more in the precious service OF
her unstinting love than even Mary
dreamed. For in the costly spikenard
he discerned the beginning Of that last
sad ministry of love bereaved. 1t was
in the house of Simon the leper the feast
was spread. His home he offered with
hospitality as generous as it was cour-
ageous at that time of gathering storm.

,1N1srER1NG A PRIVILEGE

The privilege of giving cheer to some
weary fellow pilgrim, journeying with us
toward the blessed home OF eternal rest,
should ALWAYS be an occasion of heartfelt
thanksgiving. 1t was thus with the apos-
flo v,ben he said: blessed be God. even
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of nercies and God of all COM
fort. who comforteth us in all uor tribu-
lation. that we may be able to comfort
them that are in any trouble by the COM
fort wherewith we ourselves are COM
forted of Cod"
When we are called to administer COM
fort at the bedside of some afflicted one
we are never prepared for this holy min
istry in the highest sense until the privl-
lege Of such service is our inspiration-an
inspiration that is the product Of our own
experience of divine verlties. When we
are truly in. this spirit words of comfort
may be wholly unnecessary. There is Il
silence that. under certain circumstances
is more fitting and helpful than words
In such instances the ability to refrain
from audible utterances for the sufferers

ministry. whose chief characteristic is the
power of loving, sympathetic heart.
CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD.
Christ, through the Holy Spirit, is not
only the wisdom. but the power of God.
The confidence in the flesh, along with
much glorying in Christ Jesus. is TO be
seen and felt in much of the work of
the Christian Church in which human ef-
fort and human arrangement takes much
larger place than the waiting on the
power that comes from on high. In the
larger ecclesiastical organizations, in in
divldual churches and circles. in the inner
life OF the heart and closet, alas. how much
