Gods Truth Is Liko Gold.

And then the Scriptures speak of Gods truth as being "hid i'll a field. You will not run upon gold surrounded by the clam6r of the street. You must follow George Herbert's advice and 'use sometimes to be alone. :" It is the serious minded, thoughtful men who retire from the noise and excitement of tho market and exchange who find roli- zion precious Not while tho thoughts are given over to business or society does one come upon the Treasure hid in q field. /" Gold hunting is lonely pursuit, but it pays the mind that in the fields finds the shining metal. The men who have become famous in late years are the men who hesitated not to wander upon snowy heights or through dark or broken canyons or to cross the deserts of Australia i'll solitude. They knew that when they found gold it would be a treasure not picked up from under the feet of the careless multi tudes, but treasures hid ill tho field, the reward Of patient, laborious, solitary search. And when they found that treasure they were rich for life. Sc it is with him who searches for the good gold of the kingdom Whom ho finds it in somS silent hour in which he hts re- tired from the world and is alone with God, he is not only rewarded, but is rich for time and eternity.

 Jenkins, Presby terian, Kansas City.

never seen in print. and it may amuse
your readers:
1T is permitted by Allah. His name be
praised that thieves should exist, and OF
these the worst in Cairo was Abdou Mo-

One night. while attempting to break
into a neighbours house to rob him, an III
fitting shutter which he was about TO
force, fell on him, and broke his Lex. And
so next morning. or as soon as he was
able, he laid his complaint before the
Cadi. that by reason OF the unworkman-

lamity had befallen him.

THAT is just" said the CadI. send for

And when the shawash brought the

MOVING VERY SLOW.

The Cuban resolutions are st!ll
dragging their slow length along
the halls OF Congress. with no present
certainty as to when the final passage
will occur. In the natural course Of
things. however, there does not seem
10 BE- material FOR much more OF q
dilatory nature. and we may look for
actual results this week, perhaps as
early ms tomorrow.
In the House of Representatives to-
day an amendment by Mr.. Dlngley
was adopted to the resolutions as
they came from the Senate. The effect
OF the amendment ls to shut out all
actual recognition Of any form Of anti
Spanish government in cuba, leaving
simply the declaration that the people
OF the island are and of right ought
to he free and independent: that Is
the people of Cuba are and ought to
he absolved from all allegiance to the
mother country, though they are In
possession at present of no orsaniza-
ton which we care to recognize.
The latest advices from Washington
are to the effect that the Senate has re-
fused TO concur In the House amend
ment and has sent the resolutions back
to the House. A motion for confer
ence was also rejected in the Senate,
and the next thing Is for the House TO
determine whether 1t will insist on Its
amendment.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

President. Mckinley has been much
criticised for not directly fastening
the responsibility for the Maine dis
aster on the Spanish government
There Is no doubt in the minds OF the
American people that the explosion
was due to an external cause, nor That
1t was accomplished on too terrible n
scale to have been the work of private
individuals. But this seems to be all
that has been proved beyond doubt
Consul General Lee in his testimony
before the Senate committee said that
a few moments after ascertaining thar
IL was the Maine he went to the palace
and saw General Blanco. The consul
continued:
He came in directly by himself
He had Just heard 1t and was crying
Tears were coming out of his eyes. He

came from some of the subaltern ON
GERS who had been there under Weyler,
and who were probably anti-Blanco
anyhow. and who had full knowledge
of the business"
This seems to prove that In the con-
sui generals opinion the explosion, II
caused by a Spanish officer at all, was
the work of some enemy OF SPANS
official representative in Havana. II
| this supposition is well founded, 1t Is
clear that the responsibility yet re-

''In answer to this question, l would

In answer to this question,
think that under the ciroum-

THESE are instructions in parabolic

standing in the court OF Christian
