The All sumclenoy OF God.

No one is delicately discriminating
enough to speak to a soul suffering
under deep heart-breaking agony and
afiiiction at certain moments of its
sorrow. There are times when the
softest human words seem too harsh.
and the most exquisitely phrased ex
preston seems jarring, coarse and
uniting. Who then is to minister
to the mind sick unto death with
grief, or pluck from insistent mem
ory the rooted sorrow? Only One is
delicate and discriminating enough.
One only has the power so to adjust
the fineness and exquisite sensibility
OF His Spirit to the wounded spirit
OF man. God. who formed US, knows
our capability Of suffering. He can
close around mans spirit as the water
conforms to the contour of the island.
or as the air fits itself to the radiating
form OF the compleXly branching tree,
suiting itself to each curve or plane
OF all Its myriad leaves, so that were
the air made solid and removed. it
would seem the very mold in which
the tree was cast. No substance is so
elastic in Its play about the things of
nature, no liquid element closing
around the crannied crags and con-
forming to their every indentation,
can even remotely symbolic the ex-
quisite adjustment OF God 10 His suf-
fering children. His adaptation of
Himself to our needs is infinite, and
Infinitely healing. When we suffer let
us immerse ourselves in God, as in
the element of our benz.

Men and women who teach broad
Christianity apparently do not reaiize
that this teaching, If carried out, would
bring the idea OF religion down to the
level of a human theory. 1t Is not
that the Catholic church is narrow; il
is that we believe Christianity is not
a human institution. is it not too
bad that protesting Christians should
try to dethrone Christ from his right
full position. The Catholic religion is
alone supporting and teaching the
truths taught by Christ.-Rev. w. Par
dow, r. c., New York city.

The Rev. Alexander Allison, Jr.,
pastor of the Southwestern Presbyte-
rian church, in a recent sermon on the
subject OF Lying" illustrated his text
with numerous stories, and one Of
thfse showed how, even in church, a
mans false pride sometimes leads
him to prevarication. A young man
took his best girl to church and. when
the time for collection" came round
rather ostentatiously displayed a s.
gold piece. Presuming upon the en-
gagement to marry that had been
made by her, the young lady placed
a restraining -land upon the arm of
her fiance. why. don't be so extra

"Oh. that's nothing. | always give

Just then the deacon came with tle
plate, and George dropped a coin.
Everything seemed favorable, and the
young man beamed with sense of
generosity. Then the minister made
the announcements for the week. and
concluded with the wholly unexpected
announcement of the days collection.
The collection to-day" said he,
was 1918"
George hadn't much to say all the
way to his rancee's home.

Sunday School suggestions.

A writer in the New York Observer
makes some interesting suggestions for
improving our Sunday schools. In
stead of calling it Sunday school lesson
she would call IL the bible story, 10
avoid the words lesson" school,"
and Study which are depressing to
some. Also instead of having many
and inexperienced teachers. she would
have the Sunday school divided into
four divisions and placed under four
of the best obtainable teachers. More
emphasis would be placed on the re-
peating of scripture verses, the Psalms,
and the singing of the best sacred
hymns.

WAS NOT WORKING WITHOUT PAY.
How One BOY Declined to blow Glass
and Make Bottle.


Thinking to please the visitors who
come to look round his works. a cer-
tain glass manufacturer allows them
all to try their skill at bottle-making,
an experiment which the majority of
tl.em are very eager to undertake. II
is only necessary to blow through a
specially prepared pipe, and a bottle
or glass in its smooth state can be
produced by a mere child.
Some hundreds of school board boys
were in the works the other day. and
only one youngster refused to put his
mouth to the blow-pipe. He stood
there with his hands in his pockets,
watching the others with a comical
air of contempt
Its rare fine dodge" he remarked
to his bosom companion, as they left
the works together, but the old rascal
didn't take me in by it,"
why didn't you have a 60 at the
pipe?" queried the other, is astonish-
ment.
Il wasn't such a fool" was the
scornful rejoinder. Don't you see his
little game? You chaps have been
cracking your cheeks and wasting
your breath all the afternoon, and
you've blown as many bottles as a
man can turn out in a week. Talk
about saving labor! Why, he'll make
his fortune in a year il he goes on
like this"

Immense Sarcophagus.

The most remarkable specimen of
Punic art which has ever come to
light was discovered recently at Car
thage by p. Delattre, a well-known
archaeologist, which is fashioned Of
white marble and beautifully orna-
mented with engravings. That il
served at one time as the tomb Of
some Carthaginian ruler all obtain
able evidence tends to show.
NJ. Heron de Villefosse gave a
graphic account of this discovery at
the last meeting of the French
Academy OF Inscriptions and Bellies
Letters and maintained that 1t was by
far the most notable specimen of an
cient Carthaginian art which has yet
been found.
1t was while excavating in the
Punic metropolis near the hill of Saint
Monica that p. Delatre came across
this royal tomb. AS to its future des-
tination various rumors are afioat, but
it is most likely that 1t will be remov-
ed to some French museum.

We estimate a man by what he is,
or by what he has done. God esti-
mates a man by what he desires to be
and is striving to become. II one, in
his heart of hearts, longs to be one
with God, 10 honor God in his doing
or not doing, and to serve God faith
fully in serving others, even though
that one be hindered or kept back and
kept down by obstacles or opposers,
God sees the mark at which he aims,
and the idea to which ne aspires, even
though ones fellows note only that
which has been already realized. We
have indeed reason to be grateful that
our judgment is with our ever-loving
and our all-seeing Father. and not
with our imperfect and short-sighted
human fellows.

World-echoes faint and dying-we heard

And all the place around IL a glory

And earth was like a heaven To go to

And heaven came down to meet US, and

Prayer an.a yaIth.

MIAh praying for the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit is made powerless and
unavailing by the same lack of faith
and obedience. God is always ready
to give his spirit. but such prayer al
ways implies action. We have some
thing to do If the blessing is to come.
1t was "as they went" that the ten
lepers were cleansed. II they had not
set out at once, in obedience to the
command of the Master, healing
would not have come to them II is
thus. too, with the giving of all spir-
itual blessings-th come not
through prayer alone, but through our
rising up from our knees and going
forward in the path of duty. in the
way OF obedience. in the effort to at
tain the thing longed for. When we
have asked God to give us his holy
spirit, we are to believe that we have
the gift desired, and are to enter at
once upon the life which the spirit
would have us live.
There is a duty of prayer, most
sacred and holy. but prayer is by no
means the only duty. The answer
will never come while we stay on our
knees. but only when we rise up and
go forward.
