TEACHING POINTS.

lNTRoDUcTIoN.-Paul, writing the Cor
inthian Christians concerning their di-
verse views and unfraternal ambitions,
commends to them as the MORE EXCELLENT
WAY Q2;3D the life of divine love.
a. V. 1-3 ALL GIFTS VAIN WITHOUT
LOVE. To have unlimited power of express
sion is desirable thing; but if one have
no love to express, changing cymbals will
avail as much as the most varied language.
To have the gift of eloquent intellectual
speech and to be an expert in all the sci
ences and to have all possible power of faith
not based in love, is to achieve no spiritual
gain. And almsgiving without love, even
martyrdom without love will count
for nothing with God. Only as love
employs speech, only as love directs proph-
ecies, only as love lives among the hidden
things, only as love vitalizes faith, only
as love inspires heroism, can the true re-
ligion be known.
e. Y. Al. WHAT LOVE Is. 1t is long
suffering; kind; generous; humble; court
eous; unselfsh; good tempered; sincere;
it is forbearing in all things; it believes
the best possible of all things; it endures
all Sights, all opposition, all tests.
49, V. s-13 The ETERNITY OF LOVE.
Love never faileth; can never cease. ''God
is Love" Prophecy and knowledge will
be superseded as manhood supersedes
childhood. We see now in mirror; we
shall see hereafter with direct vision
Love is the same in God and man. Faith
will abide through all ages; hope will ever
entice the soul onward but Love is the
greatest. It is a fnalitY.
Faith in this Love is the best faith
If Paul believed Gods love could
even in eternity change to hatred toward
any soul, could he so extol Divine Lover
Love melts and moulds.
There be none among all the poor

INTRODUCTION.

Love must be eternal. On the last
analysis, love is life. Love never faileth;
and life never faileth so long as there is
love. That is the philosophy OF what
Paul is showing ue; the reason why in
the nature of things Love should be the
supreme thing; because it is to last; be-
cause in the nature of things it is an
Eternal Life. 1t is thing that we are
living now, not that we get when we die.
No worse fate can befall man in this
world than to live and grow old alone,
unloying and unloved. To be lost is to
live in an unregenerate condition, love-
less and unloved; and to be saved is to
love; and he that dwelleth in love dwell
eth already in God. For God is Love.
How many Will join me in read
ing this chapter once week for the
next three months? A man did that
once and it changed his whole life. Will
you do it? 1t is the greatest thing in
the world. You might begin by reading
it every day, especially the verses which
describe the perfect character: LoUe
sufereth long. and is kind; loue enUieth
not; love vaunteth not itself. Get these
ingredients into your life. Then every
thing you do is eternal. Address your
selves to that one thing; at any cost
have this transcendent character ex-
changed for yours.-HENRY DRUMMoND.

Mr.. Howe stopped to examine the lit

Roy's papa had queer smile on his

TEACHERS HELP.

Our lessOn-passage is in a relative
sense complete in itself. 1t is the whole
of it's kind None of the apostles, save
John in his Epistles, can be compared to
Paul as the Seer Of the Heart of God.
No other has so sublimely sung 1.-THE
PSALM OF LOVE-"
In our last lesson Il Cor. 8: 1-13) we
saw how Paul was anxiously instructing
the believers in Corinth in regard to eat
ing idol-consecrated meat. We recall
how he had previously (chs. l and p en-
deavored to recall them from schismatic
contentious; and again (chs. and g.
how he had warned them of the immor-
atty which had invaded their own COM
munion. He then (chs. to 14) sets him
self to answering questions which had
been asked him concerning church ad-
ministration, and to the condemnation
of the disorders which prevailed in the
church. In chapter II, Immediately
preceding our lesson passage, he ao-
monished against the selfish ambitions
and unfraternal envyings which pre-
vailed in regard to the various gifts of
different members of the church. There
are diversities of gifts, he says, but the
same Spirit. Some brethren exceled
their fellows in wisdom or judgment;
others in knowledge or education; some
excelled in strength and steadiness of
faith; others had peculiar gifts in heal
ing; others excelled in prophecy or
preaching; others were spiritual seers;
others had command of languages and
others we're interpreters of foreign ton
CUES. There was hot dispute for prior
ity. Which was the more honorable
gift? Paul solves. the problem by de-
claring that all these gifts should, 90 far
as they are possessed by believers, be
held equally honorable methods of serv.
ing the One Spirit. He does not say
that all these gifts are of equal import
ance; he gives preference to the gift of
prophecy or verbal testimony to the
Gospel (l4;D; and he would have the
brethren delight in the more useful
gifts.
From this atmosphere of controversy,
heavy With envyings and heartburn
ings, Paul suddenly rises in our lesson
passage. A still more excellent loay, be
says. sholg I unto you. This saying,
Immediately preceding our lesson, Cony-
beare and Howson render in this wise /:

gifts; and moreover. beyond them all, /

Hitherto Paul had tried to subdue
schismatic and untraternal passions by
an appeal to self interest, commencing
individual devotion to the common
cause. Now be banishes all problems
of self-interest by commencing sel!-ab.
negation. He shows that self should
not be the center of life, but should be
surrendered to God; that getting should
be subordinated to giving; that each
individual life should be redeemed by
being lost in the ocean of love.

Extinct AnfmnIa

In late number of Science DR.. c.
Hart Merriam closes an article which
criticises in a rather destructive way
some of the geological theories of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, with an appeal to mu-
seums, sportsmen and naturalists to
take advantage of every opportunity
before it is too late to secure and pre-
serve specimens of our larger mammals
from remote parts of their ranges.
Many species have. been extcrminated
in Europe by man, and in this country
the process has already begun. The
familiar story of the vanishing buffalo
is only one of many. The giant grizzly
of southern California, the largest
carnivorous animal of the United States,
is about exterminated, and it is doubt
full if museum specimen will ever be
obtained. The large wolves have been
eXterminated over more than half the
area they formerly possessed, and no
one knows what forms have disap-
peared. An unknown form of elk or
wapiti, which within the memory of
men still living inhabited the Allegha-
MES from North Carolina to the Adiron-
dacks, has been wiped off the face of
the earth.

MOVING A BRICK CHIMNEY.

Carried Nearly a. Thousand Feet Over
Uneven Ground.
The moving of an ordinary brick
building has always been consid-
cred feat of more than passing inter
est, but the transportation of a brick
chimney without accident or damage,
over a considerable stretch of uneven
ground, was recently accomplished at
Manhanset, Shelter Island, Suffolk coun-
. ty, N. Y.
The chimney, says the Scientific
American, is IS feet high and seven feet
square at the base, with outer and in
her walls eight inches thick and weighs
nearly 100 tons. 1t was moved about
$50 feet over very rough ground and
quite grade, both up and down. The
cradle rested on two skids CREASED on
the under side and sliding on creased
blocks. The purchase used was a grain
capstan, and one horse at $50 fold, and
the time occupied in loading and mov-
ing was only nine days, with the labor
of only four men. The chimney was
placed on its new foundation without a
particle of harm. This is the second
chimney of the above description moved
by the same contractors. The first one
was SO feet high, at Bridgehampton,
and in both cases the work was COM
pleted without accident.
