LESSON THOUGHTS.


Have YOU anv doubts of your true con-
ne.tion with Jesus Christ? Your own
life must answer. He is the true vine,
and if YOU are a true branch YOU will be
bearing fruit. TITS is the test; then ask
yourself If you are tearing the fruits OF
the Holy Spirit, love, JOY, peace, long
suffering, genleness, meeSness, temper
ance.
Without Christ we can no more bear
good fruit than the branch separated
rom the vine can bring to maturity the
luscious grapes; nay, even the fruit 1t
already bears must wiLher and die when
it leaves the vine and depends upon itself
for nourshment aud strength.
SELECTIONS.
There is a counterfeit olive tree in Pal
estine. 1t is called the wlld,ollve, or the
oleaster. 1t is in al points like the
geauine tree, exc pit that it yields no
iruit. Alas! how many wild olives are
there in the church. When l see a man
taking uplarge space in Christ's spiritual
orchard, and absorbing vast deal OF
sunlight and soil, and yielding no fruit, l
say, "Ah. there is an oleaster.'
Ii tree is not growing, it is sure in
the long run to be dying. And so are
our souls. II they are not growing, hey
are dying; if they are not getting better,
they are gettirg worse. TINS is why the
Bible compares our souls to trees not
out oil mele pretty fancy of poetry, but
for a great, awful, deep, worldwide les,
son. that every tree in the fields may be
pattern, warning to us thoughtess
men, that as that tree is meant to grow,
50 our souls are meant to grow. AS that
tree dies unless it grows, so our souls
must die unless they grow.
Nature abhors sterilitv. From the
humid climate and fertile soil of the
tropics, to the ragged lava fields auc
frigid atmosphere OF higher ATTITUDES, we
find the garments of vegetation covering
all. This teaches the lesson OF Christian
faithfulness and progress.

PIONEER WOMAN LECTURER.
Rev. Antolnette Brown Blackwell Be
gan over Fifty Years Ago.

The dean of the women lecturers of
the United States Is Rev. Antoinette
Brown Blackwell. She made her first
anteduting any of the pioneers now
living. In 1877. In company with Lucy
Stone, she conducted discussion In
the presence of II professor and the
senior class of Oberlin college and that
year prepared an eXegesls giving II
new Interpretation of st. Paul's teach
Ing concerning women. In 1913, when
Mrs. Stanton called the first woman's
rights convention, Miss Brown had
nearly completed n year of the regular
theological course with class of men
and one other woman-Lettice Smith
Holmes.
In 1850 she took her degree and be-
gan preaching as opportunity offered.
The same year she attended the first
national woman's rights convention,
since which time she has been pub
licly identified with the woman s,f-
frage movement. In 1862 she became
pastor of church in South Butler,
New York In which she was ordained
by united council one year later.
During this year she was sent as n
regular delegate to the first worlds
temperance convention, held in New
ior, but was denied IL delegates rights
because she was woman. Until about
1850 Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell
frequently made lecturing trips with
Miss Anthony and has never given up
during the forty-nine years since she
! made her first public speech, either
pulpit or platform work. Latterly hel
work has been mostly with the per
and largely in the line OF philosophy
Several books and many other writ
ings attest her industry and ability.

From one of the most luxuriously
furnished homes In New York city to u
barely furnished East side settlement
is change that few fashionable wo-
men, however chartably inclined,
would care to make.
But such a change is contemplated
by Miss Helen Gould. who Is consider
ing the question OF leaving her Fifth
avenue residence magniiicently fur
nished by her father, the late Jay
Gould, to reside for some time IN the
Gospel settlement, "The White Door of
the Ghetto" at No, 211 Clinton street.
Miss Gould has slgniiied her desire
to study life among the poor by actual
contact. in n letter TO Mrs. Sarah j.
Bird. founder of the settlement, but
she has not yet fixed date for the pro
posed change.
Mrs. Bird said to-day she did not
know Mt what time Miss Gould would
take up her temporary abode at the
settlement house, but thought that II
would probably be when the weather
became warmer. Then Miss Gould
would have better advantage TO see
the true conditions and life as II is In
that part of the city, when the push
cart wagons line up along the side
walks, crowds Of humanity throng the
thorouGhfares and the stoops of the
tenements and houses are alive with
people.
In speaking of the work Mrs. Sarah
]. Bird, the founder, said:
'My experience In rescue work has
shown me the great need of preventive
work, and nearly five years ago |

Miss Gould has given bountlfully TO

her from individual sources, MS well ms
