Message Praised in France.

A Paris dispatch says Most of the morn
ing papers here give considerable space to
President Roosevelts message. The few
journals that comment on the message
pronounce 1t an original and highly inter-
esting document, inspired by ardent pa
triotism and manifesting great courage on
the part of it's author especially in his
treatment of the trust question. These
papers approve his enunciations regarding
the foreign policy of the United States and
the Monroe doctrine. The Figaro dwells
admiringly on the fact that the message
has nothing of the commonplace, which is
a customary feature of communications
from European sovereigns to their parlia-
mentS.

The Yankee answer is: How do
Won want it painted? One coatg two
coats? three coats? first-class or
cheap?''
The proper answer is: II wnnt the
best paint pat on as it ought to be- .
= That's Devoe 81 Reynolds; but the
usual answer is /: II want good Job !;
but / want it cheap. Which means !:
I want you to paint it for nothing. I
Want to be fooled.
Lead and oil is the costliest paint
there is: not the best; it used TO
be best. Devoe a. Reynolds is best.
since zinc came in: Devoe lead and
zinc.
Zinc toughens the lead and doubles
its wear.
ZihS costs no more than lead and

We have no patent on zinc; bnt nos

ways responsible. Do not TRY to
cover up lie with excuses to con-
science. That is only adding new lies,
and they are lies to God. Cry out
with David, against Thee, Thee
only. have I sinned.' and when you
have confessed the lie to God, confess
it to your injured neighbor and ask
his forgiveness.
8. The last truth we .rcan .notice is
in the last verse of the lesson, ."And
great fear came upon all the church,
and upon as many as heard these
things There are times when fear
is proper motive Ito imrel men to
seek God, not the slavish fear OF the
bondsmangwith cruel master. but the
fear of him who knows that there lis
no life apart from God, who knows
that lie separates the sonl from
Gods presence and from communion
and fellowship with Him. No man
can pray with the consciousness Of a
lie in his heart. Fear to do wrong,
fear to tell lie under whatever cir
cumstances and your fear will prove
itself in the end to be true courage, it
will lead You to seek God and to be-
come His true servant. 1t is not the
highest motive, bat it is infinitely
better than no motive for entering
upon the Christian life.
