Was True TO Her Colors.

A beautiful instance OF Christian fdel.
ty was that displayed by distinguished
Christian young woman who was spending
a few weeks of summer at a certain hotel
in favorite resort in the East.

tend a dance, in order that the affair
might have the prestige bestowed by her
presence as she stood high in society. She
declined all the opportunities of her
friends.
Finally, an honorable Senator tried to
persuade her to attend. saying: Miss
b, this is quite a harmless affair and
we want the exceptional honor OF your
presence"

in my summer vacation. or wherever l 60,

you; il there were more Christians like
you. more men like myself would become
Christians"

Christ's Transforming Power.

While Christ used the common thing
Of life, He made them very uncommon,
says the Rev. Dr. o. p Clifford, the we'll
known pastor OF Buffalo. He took the
body He took the common wine and
said. TINS is Ny blood" The artist
takes up mis- canvas and colors. and as
you look az the canvas you think OF
nothing but the different eolors of paint.
When the artist combines them, you
think neither of canvas or colors, but Of
the picture. Christ made the common.
est things of hfe sacred; He made drud9.
cry divine; He makes every burden and
trial a stepping stone 10 life itself. and
life a long. sweet psalm. This He does
when ycu surrender everything to Him.

Rest in Christ.

Him you discover how God loves you, not
because He made you, not with a love
which depends upon your goodness, but
with the everlasting love OF Father. a
love SO great and wise that He would not
if He could make your sins be less bur-
den to your souls, but would increase that
burden that you might be driven to be
rid OF your sins. And. when you come TO
Him and find how He loves you and takes
the burden from your soul, you will love
Him. That is what you want. Our sins
arc greatly aggravated by the stony hard
ness OF your hearts toward God Jesus
takes it all away. Your mind has the
repose OF faith. your conscience the re-
pose of forgiveness, your hearts the re-
pose of love

What is the greatest SIN in all the eata-
lOgue az written In God's wordy ~ this
question were put 70 men there would be
almost as many answers as there are men.
II j. not impurity, nor dishonesty. These
things are not even 20 be considered IN

that the Holy Ghost is 10 come, II IL said
that He will reprove the world OF sin,
and that sin is described az not believing

the cbiefest Of all transgressions.
V.
Having no hope. ! cannot imagine that
any OF my hearers would for a moment
refuge in iniidelity' That is. indeed,
hopeless. 1t is said that Adoniram Jud-
son when ne was a student in Brown Uni
ver.lty came under the influence OF fel-
low student who was an inhdel. On his
return 10 Providence at one time he was
obliged TO stop at a country Inn. The nm
keeper told him he had but one room,
posed 70 dying. Judson cared nothing
for this, and said he would take the
room. All through the night he heard
this man crying out 70 God for mercy,
shrieking IN terror because OF his unbelief
and at last Judson utterly worn out fell
asleep. When the morning came all was
quiet in the adjoining room, bat the man
was dead. What was the students horror
20 find out that the dying man was his
companion in inhdelity. and when he came
10 the end there was no hope for him,
and infidelty prevailed him nothing. IL
is an awful thing 10 be without Christ IN
the world.
Without God. II tou could imagine
God taken out OF your life for a moment
It would be a position OF terror. No one
would ever again say no TO Him If they
realized that they might say no for the
last time. To have no help IN temptation
and no comfort IN the hour OF sorrow.
and no support in the day OF death would
indeed be an awful thing. A friend OF
mine told me OF a man IN the West who
had been constantly besought by his
friends TO come to Christ. and had resisted
all their entreaties. He had been en-.
treated by God Himself as He called him
in prosperity and in adversely. and at
last the calls became so marked that IL
was as if God had actually spoken to him,
and at last in a heat OF passion he cried
out as If he were speaking 10 God. oh
God. Jet me alone" and He did, and until
the day OF his death it is said ne never
again had even faint desire to 60 10
Christ II Is dangerous TO resist God
pity the man who says no TO Christ and
speaks for the last time, and then comes
TO the place where he had no hope and is
without God in the world.

The production of artificial graphite
by means of the electrical furnace has
long ago passed the experimental stage,

ton has been increasing by leaps and
bounds until 1t is probable that the
output this year will be nearly 1000

the mine. At the mine the current is
downStcpped 10 1000 volts and used at
this pressure for an endless rope haul

Dredging for gold is becoming one
of the most profitable of the new
methods of gold hunting in California.
On the Feather River. near Oroville,
large amounts of the metal in an al
most pure state are being reclaimed
from the river bed. Near Oroville the
stream debouchcs on plain at the foot
of a canon and has covered about 10.-
900 acres with earth which contains
much of the gold mined in the primi-

exception OF the window. Open the
window and screen down its aperture
to an area OF a square foot or less.
