PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD.
There Is an Incentive to Patience In the Thought of Gods For
 benrance with Men.

The example of Gods forbearance prepare us for that self-control and patient waiting which are perhaps the most difficult arts of living. Preach CTS of the strenuous life often forget that for one who dares to act there must be many who are compelled to wait and to endure. It is not the charge which commanders dread for their commands, it is the waiting before the word to charge is given. Action re- lieves the tension of the nerves and oc- cupies the thought. The example of Gods patience is not in itself a suffi- cient incentive in our time of need God waits because He knows. He sees the end from the beginning and is never tempted to gather unripe fruit as we so often are. He asks us to be sharers of His patience and by the exercise of faith We can wait be- cause we believe. He tursts us in the partnership of work and waiting and we renounce and have patience be- cause we trust Him for the end He promises.
 So our patience becomes more than q trial-it becomes an opportunity of faith. If God is patient in what seems. the halting progress of His kingdom, if He endures the sights and insults of His children; we whom He has made His fellow workers cannot be impa- tient without refusing Him the trust He gives. It is trial, the hardest trial for all active souls, but to be called to hard and special trial is a proof of spe- cial confidence. God honors every man to whom He gives this oppor- tunity of patient faith
 This incentive of our partnership with God lightens the burden of our waiting and arms us to endure. 1t is easier to be patient for another's \sake than for our own. Where we might yield, the thought of one who loves and trusts us and will suffer for our yielding makes us strong. It is we'll to keep before our minds the thought that God is with us and de- fends us, but never to the exclusion of the other thought that God depends upon us for His work and patience in the earth.
 To the world God is the invisible and we are the visible partners of the holy and interesting life. God is patient be- cause He desires repentance and re- turn. It is for us to loll on men as He looks, with recognition of their infinite worth, their infinite possibilities. If and so far as we can gain His point of view, it will be possible for us to love and to pray for those who despitefully use us because we see in them an ele- ment of possible and Christlike broth erhood in the enduring life. e.Bostop Congregationalist

but man builds fast steamships and makes the sea help to q quicker way of communication. The very oh- stacles put in the path of the man who has this faith, prove the stepping stones to a larger material or spiritual success. The battle is half won when a man dares to take his fate in his own hands. The descendant of bad lot of ancestors often makes up his mind that, by the grace of God, his life shall be the turning point for better things Hard circumstances, which crush one man, only prove an inspira- tion to another man; not because he is better equipped to fight them, but from the personal determining ele- ment in himself. Jesus could do no mighty works in certain places be- cause of the lack of faith on the part of the people. Jesus said: According to your faith" The Mount of Trans fguration always awaits. No man ever can or ever will do anything that amounts to much unless he believes he can do it. But if he believes and be- lieves strongly enough there is prac- tically no limit to the possibilities of his achievements. Nothing is more needed in our day thana strong protest against belief in scientific fatalism. There ought to be brought to the front again the doctrine of the freedom of our choices.-Chicago Advance.

THE FIREMAN'S PARADE.
the Elimination of Whisky
 and Beer.

A thousand fremen paraded on hot July day without drinking beer or whisky, and this is how it came about.
 A charming village in western New York, renowned for it's life-giving ozone, fine sanitarium, public library and, it's freedom from saloons, begged the privilege of entertaining the County Firemen's association for it's annual meeting and parade. For weeks the public spirited folk made lively prep arations for the coming of their guests 1000 firemen from 13 towns. It was to be grand gala day.
 Barrels of beer have been stored in a room in the engine house." was whispered about shortly before the e@entful date. The white ribboners were astonished and grieved, but timid because influential voters and town dig nitaries had put money into that beer. What was to be done?
 The proprietor of the sanitarium, the lady elect of the town, was a woman with the sort of gospel which is both love and law. The courageous fearless spirit that burned in her was like that of her grandmother, who rode 50 miles on horseback to urge John Quincy Adams to legislate against the sale of alcoholic liquors. She and a few others rallied the faint-hearted women, young and old. and many brotherly men gladly stood by them. At meeting of the union committees were appointed and the work systematically arranged.
 It was typical July day, of blazing heat, when the thousand fremen in costumes of blue. green, scarlet and gray arrived, each company with it's band. How gay they looked. how stir

ring was the music and how they marched with their hose carriages loaded with flowers, from the station, through Main street, past the hotel, to the band stand in the square!
 Not so feet away from the hotel a novel and cheering sight greeted the eyes of those perspiring, thirsty men. It was pretty rustic booth with white draperies, festooned with evergreens of hemlock and cedar. A conspicuous sign across the front made the well come announcement: Lemonade, strawberry lemonade, raspeberry lemonade, currant lemonade, pine ap- pie lemonade, grape juice lemonade, hot ginger tea, iced tea, and ice water, All Free to Bremen"
 It was astonishing how soon the front compartment of the little booth was filled with fremen. They were deftly served by pretty and womanly girls in holiday attire who stood be- hind the counters that were in gor- geous array. with their shining glass pitchers and crystal tumblers filled with cool, delicious fruit juices and lemonade. In the rear compartment on an oil stove singing tea kettle was alwas ready to provide hot ginger tea or hot lemonade. Here the women received from the basement of an ad- jacent church the supplies that had been prepared the night before. There were two great crooks containing ten gallons of lemon juice and sugar and the merry hearted young workers had taken extra pains to strain out every seed Near the crooks were great milk cans of ice water and glass cans of the brightest and clearest grape and berry juices.
 Relays of young women went to the weary musicians with trays full of tempting drinks and the bands played their liveliest airs with fresh yigor, after draining the glasses brimming with the unfermented juices of the grape, currant and strawberry "cups that cheered but did not inebri- ate" After each march young men with pails of lemonade and baskets of tumblers hurried about among the fremen until their thirst was satis- fled. The little white ribbon bow was everywhere in evidence; the mother hearted women were praying for the boys As they worked.

"Talkin' about rattlesnakes," said
an Erie railroad brakeman, according
to the New York Sun, did you ever
hear how the mosquitoes saved a
mans life up near Gulf Summit, in
Pennsylvania, last summer?

above the wound. It was expected
that Morehouse would die before the
doctor could come up there on his
wheel, but he didn't. just as soon
as the leg was barred to put on the
bandage, IL was attacked by swarm
of mosquitoes, and when the doctor
arrived he found the man as well as
ever and lively as cricket, but the
ground was covered with dead and
dying mosquitoes. They had sucked
the poison from Warehouses; wound
and saved his life. This was hard on
the mosquitoes, but / presume More

COCoANUT PALM is HANDSOME
IT'S Long, Graceful Leaves Lend n
Striking Beauty TO the
Southern Tree.

The cocoanut is one of the hsndsom-
est palms by it's long, graceful leaves.
IL grows luxuriantly as far north as
Palm Beach, Fla, and few specimens
may be seen little above that point.
Used to line walks, they present a
picturesque scene, the low branches
curving gracefully overhead. The nuts
and their development are very inter-
esting TO observe. AS a long time is
occupied in the growth of the nuts,
they may be seen on the same tree in
many stages, from small, acorn-like
ones TO the immense brown-husked
fellows, all in large punches. The
flowers, too, for a new crop, may be
included in the collection.
1t Is matter for concern, saws Nee
hams Monthly, that there appears to
be little or no attempt to propagate
cocoanuts in Florida. even though they
be for ornamental purposes only.
They are far from being so plentiful
as they were Is years ago.
