THE HAND OF GOD.
BY Rev j. HARRINGTON HARRIS

The other day | picked up the photo
graph of a little babe, too young to sit
alone: but still it was bolt upright. At
ter looking for a minute, ! discovered n
supporting hand, presumably the hand of
the mother, that not only gave it the up
right position. but KEPT the little fellow
from topping to he floor. / was given
only the hand, but ing Imagination was
not guilty of extravaganza when | saw
the maternal guardian with tender care
and loving gaze standing by her babe
and watching over its every action. The
little one was unconscious of the care;
that was no matter. the care was present
just the same.
And | thought: How often have / dis
covered just suggestion Of God about
me-a mere trace. 1t might have been
just the finger Of His care pointing me
into my path the atmosphere Of His pres
ence envcloping my way. God never re-
yeaIs Himself completely TO His chr
dren; He does not mark His blessings,
From the Father" But there Is always
something about them that leads Us 20
correctly guess their authorship-just as
the familiar writing upon the wrapper
often discloses some modest sender.
We may be sure Gods hand is always
near us: and as the lSSed knows best the
slightest Indication If her lovers tres-
ence, so does he who loves God most pos
sess that spiritual sense that can best
and ofttnest detect His presence n ;he
affairs Of life. 1t is our business 10 be-
able 10 discern our Father. for He is al
ways near with His loving care. y" lot
be thoughtless but attend Him. for i j.
a great privilege 10 catch sight Of the

| and aflirms that the glory of life con
sists IN the inability of men to attain il.
| Among all English poets he stands dis
tinctively for the glory of the imperfect.
And he feels hat the divinity of life lies
in the fac that nothing in this life comes
TO perfection, and that everything is
stamped as provisional Humanity may
| be divided into three classes in its rela-
tion to the imperfect in life
There are men who have striven TO
find perfection and have deluGed them
selves with che belief that they have
found il. Among such men was the over
bearing, self-righteous Pharisee, who
stood on the boulevards of Jerusalem and
announced his perfection to the throngs
who passed him.
There is also a large class of men
who seek perfection and find t rot snd
therefore YIELD to a despair more or less
complete. Among such was the bright
young ruler who came to Christ to as
certain the qualifications for membership
in the kingdom of truth aud love. Per
lection was too far of for him. He was
filed with sadness. for the sacrifice was
too great.
But there are also men of the Paul
The publican of Jerusalem. He saw his
imperfections and they inspired him to
strive for the perfect. The mon of this
type feel that perfection is unattainable
| because there is not time enough in life
nor room enough in the world for an i'm
mortal soul perfectly to express itself
through art or perfectly to develop itself
through any achievement
The value of this life is not finally to
be measured by its achievements. but by
it, promises. 1t stands not for finished
period, but for preparation, and nothing
ouglt to come To perfection, for perfec-
tion means fnality.
There is no more subtle test of the pos
sible greatness of men, intellectually and
spiritually. than the measure in which
they possess the passion for perfection.
This is what Goethe meant when he
said, Perfection is the measure of heav-
en-. and the desire to attain perfection
the measure of men," But there will
be no desire for perfection unless man
has n passion for the infinite. This pas
sion for the infinite has found noble cX-
pressions in all true art. But art can
only offer glimpse of the infinite. This
inevitable limitation which all great art
lists feel and which all great art reveals
is true in the development of character.
$50 many promising youths" says EN-
erson, "never a perfect man" not be
cause a great many fail to fulfill the
promise of their youth, but because no
earthly fulfillment can perfectiy realize
what youth predicts
There is not room enough for immortal
ity to work itself out under mortal condi-
tions. But grand advance can be made
if the soul is inspired by the imperfect
and has passion for perfection. The
measure in which one feels the inspira-
ton of the imperfect will determine his
spiritual conception of life, and the pow
er to receive consolation which flows
from such n message is a test of SUI
preme faith in God.

their enemies. They were sold as slaves:
the eyes of their kings We're put out,
their temple was desecrated and finally
destroyed. They were under the feet
of their naughty enemies But in the
fiercest fires kindled by their own wick
edness they were as the bush burning but
not consumed. The faithful in the church
have endured the most terrible suffer
ings at the hands of bigoted Christians.
Pagan Rome has been surpassed in the
terrible cruelties inflicted by believer up

Consumption is human
weed fourishing best in weak

easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes I'M

Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won :.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it IS consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

IRON AT PREMIUM.
Buyers Pay Extra Prices For Assur-
ance OF Early Delivery.

Cleveland, o., March 27.-The Iron
Trade Review, discussing trade cond1-
tions in its current issue, says:
so much has been done in iron and
steel for 1902 that heavy buying move
ments are no longer to be expected
There is still enough business ahead to
make the changes in prices that may
yet become a matter of moment to
many consumers. but on the bulk of
their wants consumers know what their
cost viii be and whatever advances
may come the middle man rather than
the mills will be the gamer. The pig
iron situation still has the quieter as
pect that has distinguished March from
February. A meeting of several of the
southern producers was held at New
York last week, and it was agreed that
there should be no advance from the
schedule price of $12 for No foundry
iron. AS a matter of fact little iron
markets, where most consumers seem
not to have covered as completely as
those in central and western territory,
there is considerable demand, and
both northern and southern furnaces
with iron to offer for the next six
months are getting prices equivalent to
an Alabama basis of $14 for No. foun-
dry We hear of a $4,000 ton sale at
this figure.
In central western markets Northern
sellers of foundry iron and some South
premiums for iron for second and third
quarter delivery, while $3.50 at North
ern furnace is now the usual basis for
deliveries of No. 2 foundry in the latter
part of the year. Basic and forge irons
have been in demand. Virginia basic
has been taken in considerable lots.
Gray forge has sold at SIS, Pittsburg,
and this advance. as we'll as the adj
vance in scrap, which has become more
difficult to get, has led to a higher level
for bar iron, $3.50 Pittsburg being MAIN
tanned by one important producer, while
another is still selling at $40 The re-
cent advance in steel bars to $3.50, which
will apply to large lots after April I,
may be accompanied, it is intimated, by
an advance to $1.e5 or $40, Pittsburg
on ordinary lots. The heavy buying of
bars in the past three weeks and the
large tonnage under negotiation, to be
closed before April 1 seems to have
modified to some extent the conservative
purpose of large interests and the mar
ket is creeping up in way that has not
been counted on.
