EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Comment by Rev. w. ,. Yates. A. N.
Topic, The Temple OF the Body.

SCRIPTURE READING. Il Cor. III. i6-2a
"Know 20 not that your body Is q temple Of
the Holy Spirit which Is in you, which ye have
from Godf"
No land and no tribe Of men is with
out worship Of some God. Sanctuaries
ana of many kinds, and ceremonies Of
worship of greatest variety. All agree
in ascribing power to the deity worship
ed and in exacting reverence and obedi-
ence from the worshiper. Places, things
and times are called holy il set apart
for the service Of worship. Such places,
times and things must not be desecrated
or made less sacred by common use.
These sentiments are as universal as
mankind. There is less agreement as to
what things and places and times shall
be called consecrated or to what deity
they shall be consecrated
The highest and truest attainment
yet reached in this search for and wor-
ship of God is found in the New Tesla
ment conception of a Spirit Of infinite
and eternal holiness, justice and love.
This One has made all worlds and gov
erns all His highest revelation is made
In and through and to mankind. He
has united human nature to his own ma
ture in Jesus Christ. The body Of man
is an instrument in which the spirit of
man dwells and by the use of which the
man may come into companionship and
likeness to God. The value Of the bodi-
ly powers lies in just this use of them
fo~ xl,o cx~.x;fso frroxu<h ov,1 oH
ment. Impairment of their efficiency
subtracts from the chances Of the spirit
for its highest attainment Body and
spirit act and react on each other.
Drunkenness and gluttony not only
waste the time and power that should
be devoted to the good of the spirit, but
they debase the spirit itself until it pre-
fers the vicious and sensual to the pure
| and heavenly.
Indulgence Of passion harms the bod
| lily functions and all defilement of spirit
defiles and tends to destroy the body.
Permanent pleasure is inseparably
linked to purity of soul and body. Ev-
| cry vice is inevitably connected with
disease and death.
Filthiness of spirit leads to disease of
body and vicious indulgence of the
senses makes the spiritual powers pol
luted.
The end of all is the ban Of God on
both body and spirit
Here is the clew to all self denial and
all self culture-whatever tends tc
make one less sensitive to the true, the
pure, the beautiful and good should be
avoided; whatever assists in elevating,
refining and enrolling should be cult.
| waited.
Our eyes are to see, our ears to hear
and all senses to aid in finding the spirit
Of God and enshrining Him in the body
as in holy temple.

CHINESE GORDON.
The Story Bishop Told About the Fa-
nous English General.


Tho bishop of Tasmania in one of bis
sermons told story which brings out the
character of O man whom all tho world
learned to respect-for q wonder before he
died. The bishop-so says The Sunday
Magazine-was indebted for the story to a
clergyman who had spent some years in
GAIA, Palestine.
One night this clergyman was coming
homo late, and In the dusk of the evening
when objects were not very distinct he saw
what looked like man kneeling on the
ground by the side of his horse. The place
was not safe one Arabs might easily
surprise the kneeling traveller.
~ must go and warn that man."
thought the clergyman. "It will never do
to let him remain there. He does not
know that he may get into trouble"
AS he came nearer to put his resolution
into practice he was stopped by words
that evidently were not addressed to him
self. A moments listening convinced h. n
1t was the voice of prayer to which lac lis
tened
"Oh, my God, take me away out Of my.
self, lest fall make me to look unto thee,
that / may humble myself and be like
theel" said the voice of the kneeling man.
Uc CltTRy uColtutcu w
tho strangers dLvotions, but he could not
persuade himself to leave him in danger.
After waiting for time he approached,
saying as he did SO, "Sir, beg your par
don, but you are in danger here"
Tbs man rose, and the clergymans1 sur
prise was great when he found himself
standing face to face with General Cor
don.
"What are you doing out here IN this
dangerous placer" he asked, not yet recov-
cred from his astonishment.
"This morning / received O telegram
from Engla asking mo to undertake a
mission which had longed to undertake
all my life, " replied tho general 1T filed
me with such citation that felt / might
get into trouble through pride, and
thought would just get upon my horse
and go away by myself to humble myself
before God.
1t was thus that the noble heart of Cor
don met one of the great trials of character
the honor of being chosen to lead In an
important enterprise. \
81 believe" said the bishop, THAT the
mission of which he spoke was the one In
which he was employed when death mot
him."

A BROKEN FORK.
rhs Rea. Reason why Colonel Cortejo H..
fused to Eat.

fused To Eat.
The true story of Colonel Vincente
&c Cortejo's determination 70 starve
himself has recently come TO light and
reveals the real motive which actuated
the distinguished prisoner at Fort Nc
Pherson in refusing his food.
When Colonel Cortejo arrived at Fort
Mcpherson. he felt greatly Inundated
at being searched like an ordinary
criminal and at having all of his mon
ey taken from him. He complained Bit
terly TO the officers who directed the
search and gave every evidence Of the
modification which he felt But Colo
mel Cortejo is a soldier who has been
trained to bear up under whatever re-
verses might befall him, and he would
not have allowed even so great an in
suit as he felt the search to be to keep
him from satisfying the inner man.
Nevertheless when the officer was es-
corted with his comrades to the regi.
mental mess hall he refrained from eat
ing and the report at once went out
over the length and breadth Of the land
that Cortejo had determined to die by
otdTNdtlOu.
When pressed by one of the United
States officers to tell why he would not
eat, the colonel of Spain replied in
French: lyon seek every means to NOR
tify me. You treat me like an ordinary
prisoner, and l do not complain. You
search me, and ! am bound to protest,
but all that is-nothing compared to
| what am next made to suffer. When

of giving an American officer broken
fork with which to eat his food Do
what you will with me, but as loyal
subject of the Spanish throne | could
not allow it to be said of me that at ia
BILE I used fork that was minus a
prong"
1t required great deal of persuasion
and argument on the part of the Ameri-
can officer to convince the Spaniard
that no affront was intended, and it
was explained that the crippled fork
was put at his place by accident, and
that the accident should not be repeat

OUR GREAT RIVER.
Soma Interesting Facts About the Father
OF Waters.


OF Waters.
how many Americans appreciate the
grandeur OF their country's geography?
how many know that there IL no river
system on earth which even distantly CON-
pares with that OF the Mississippi and Its
tributaries?
The census tells us that these rivers, all
moving through ono channel into the gulf
OF Mexico, aggregate more than 100, 900
miles In length. The Amazon, the Nile,
the Ganges and all the rest of the great
river systems on earth put together scarce.
~ approach this magnificent showing.
Think OF Ill A steamboat leaving Pitts
burg can visit 23 states without passing
through any artificial channel tt can 90
up the Allegheny and Monongahela, the
Big Sandy, the Kentucky, the Wabash, the
Tennessee and the Cumberland-clear In
to Alabama-before reaching the mouth
Of the Ohio
Below Cairo 1t can traverse not only tho
Mississippi, but the st. Francois, the Ar
kansas, the White, the Red, the Yazoo, the
Tallahatchee, the Yalobusha, the Ouaohita,
the great bayous and all the tributaries Of
these streams.
Above Cairo lie the upper Mississippi
the Illinois, the Missouri, tho Yellowstone,
the Platte, the Big Horn nd score of
tributaries to ell these. The supposititious
steamboat can land at 1850 towns and
cities on It's way.
These rivers drain an area of 1858, 1908
square miles, occupied by a population OF
24,29S, 392 in 1890.
The commerce Of this great river system
was carried on in 1889 by 7,458 vessels,
with an aggregate tonnage of 8,893, 1878
and value of Sit, 535,005.
And SO rich Is that commerce that its
annual gross earnings exceed the total
value of the craft engaged in 1t by nearly
100000. 1t carries nearly II, 200, OO(
passengers and nearly 83,000,0 600 tons oil
freight per year.
And this is only one Of the great river
systens of our country-one Of many that
include such mighty systems as that of the
Yukon, that of the Columbia, that of the
Colorado and that of the Alabama at Tom
bigbee.
And from ono end to the other of al
these rivers there is no custom house t.
stop traffic or to levy q cent of tribute up
on 1t.
1t is worth every Americans while t
reflect upon the greatness of our land ant
to rejoice in 1t. 1t is worth while to re
member also that the resources of THU
marvellous country are far less than hal
developed.-NewY York World.
