retreats. A low. slow growl gurgles up from deep in his throat. It is simply a challenge and an inquiry-a question mark.
 But a dog growls when he becomes ang- ry at another dog and wishes to enter a fight. Listen closely the first opportun- ity that presents itself and you will learn how different are these two growls. The growl of inquiry is slow and rather deep, while that of anger if higher and Is giv- tn with greater rapidty.
 If you will watch carefully. another pe- culiarity will be seen-the whole facial expression of the animal changes with these two kinds of vocal expression. When a dog growls at the approach of a stranger the face Is rather placid and you will see that the lips hang well over the teeth and the hair along the dog s back lies flat. In anger the eyes become abnormally bright, the teeth show white between the tightly drawn lips. and the long hair of the back stands almost on end.
 Another sound which a dog makes is the long-drawn howl which is usually heard when he sits under the light of the moon md tells how unu;terably lonely he is This same sound is sometimes heard when q largo bell Is rung or a tin horn blown close to the animal 1t would seem that the howl is used almost exclusively to express some peculiar emo ton caused by loud and prolonged moi se or on the other hand. by impressive still ness.

Second Quarter, Lesson xT. June 15,
 1909; Acts xvi, 6-Io.
Paul Crosses to Europe.

The genius of Homer had converted the spot where Paul now stood (Troas- Troy) into a veritable picture-gallery But among these imperishable classic de- < limitations the New Testament flashes out one which eclipses them all in pathos. significance and power.
 After the visitation of the converts of his first missionary tour, an act which was prompted by tender pastoral solici- tude. Paul essayed to enter new fields. He naturally turned to those that were nearest But two doors were shut sharp " in his face. These provinces may not have been ripe for the Gospel; or some one else could work in them who could not in the field to which Paul was about to be called. The Lord of harvest still surveys the field. Ministerial apportion- and favoritism. The Lord still reigns. Bithynia. and proconsular Asia were not rcprobated. Peter salutes them in his first cpistie.
 The same hand which had closed two doors opened a third wide, and by an unmistakable sign bade Paul enter. The Spirit of Jesus tR. y.). promised by him. sent in answer to his prayer-by whom we. too. are to be Ted and in whom walk" and '1ive'-gave the token to the waiting missionaries. In the weird hour of night. in a vision. man.. Macedo- nisn recognized as such by his garb and accent, appears. and, with outstretched hands and suppliant tone. cries: Come over into Macedonia and help us!'
 The religious destiny of Europe was uuivering in. the balance Suppose Paul had been disobedient to the vision. The history of the world would have to be rewritten from that date. You must needs strike out from the New Testa- ment the Epistles to the Corinthians Thessalonians and Philippians.
 But Paul had not begun his career by being disobedient to heavenly visions. '" The gray of the morning found him at the docks of Troas. inquiring for a ship bound for the port of Macedonia. A brief voyage. An insignificant company. Yet they carry the seeds of new civilization for Europe and the Western Hemisphere. It has been well said that as from Mac edon Europe sent conqueror to Asia in the person of Alexander the Great so now Asia sends conqueror to Europe in the person of Paul the apostle.

The Teachers, Lantern.

In that little company by the riverside there was one woman whose name will be held in everlasting remembrance as Paurs first convert in Europe-Lyda, the seler of purple, of the city of Thyatira. It is worthy of notice that she came from the very province where the apostle was forbidden to preach. Thus indirectly, by his obedience to the Spirit, he introduced his message into the very country which he essayed to enter; for. no doubt. Lydia wrote home the news of her conversion, and, wn,n she returned to Thyatira, opened the way under the most favora bfe auspices for the coming of Peter or one of the apostles.
 Lydia was far from: home She was In a place where there were the fewest possible Jews. The heather knew nothing about Sabbath. They were accustomed to buy and sell seven days in the week She might have used little subtility and said: If I keep my shop open Sunday l will sell out that much quicker. and can go home sooner. What is the use of closing my shop when there Is no sym agogue for me to go and worship at? The heathen would never remark anything un- usual in its being open. and there are so open gate upon them would be insignifi- cant" She might even have said Tiff I don keep my shop open. the poor, heath- en may be tempted t9 buy something bads at my counter" But Lydia was a dealer in purple stuff yard wide and of fast colors.
 She was not dealer in sophistry. so when the Sabbath came she closed her shop-door. and went out to the natural rendezvous of devout souls-the river bank to worship and to pray
 In that lovely Oriental scene where Abraham servant finds wife for his son Isaac. the servant utters a most signiti- cant word when he says, "I being in the way, the Lord led me" So Lydia. all unconsciously. but none the less certain ". was putting herself. by her love and loyalty to God. in the way of hearing that gladdest message that ever falls up- on human ears-tidings of Him who is mighty to save unto the uttermost

BRIBERY OF GOVERNMENT.
Here is What the Presumption of
 Enormous Wealth Leads to.

Kansas City Star.
 It is not at all likely that the United States Government will entertain the proposition of Andrew Carnegie to accept from him $20. .000.000 and give the Philip pines over to the rule of their turbulent natives. But the fact that 1t fosters and maintains an economic policy which en- ables one of its citizens to tender it a bribe, Of such colossal proportions as $20.- 900 is something which ought to cause 1t to. seriously ponder. mark and in ed excessive ostentation In his disburse- ment of the enormous surplus which he has accumulated through the aid of the tariff. which enriches its beneficiaries at the expense of the consumers, but it would appear that he had rather passed the limit when he presumes to influence the policy of the Government on the question of expansion by the use of money.
 On no account and for no purpose should the United States ever accept a farthing of Andrew Carnegie's money. His pru- fient desire to place the Government un- der obligations to him. as manifested by his proposition to establish at Washing ton National University, and his recent offer of S20. 900 900 to insure the independ- ence of the Philippines. should have the effect only of strengthening and crys- talfzing public sentiment against the pe- cunfary Embellishments of the multi-mil- lionairef whose passion for celebrity is causing him to employ his money in the establishment of numerous monuments to his memory.
 The favors which Mir. Carnegie has en- loved at the hands of the Government through the maintenance of the tariff tystem mean. of course, an outrageous injustice to the consumers whot contrib ute constantly to the enormous surplus in the hands of the steel baron. But admitting the evil and the wrong. of such discrimination. it isl vastly better that he should be the undeserving bene- ficiary of the Gocernment than that the Government should accept largess from him.
 The pIra tical system of protection which has enriched Mir. Carnegie and his kind can be oyerthrown. The disgrace of a National obligation to Carnegie could

 'I am going to sue the town of coursa, '' replied.
 " But what for? he asked.
 For personal damages. There should have. been a railing or a light. but there was neither. and my injury will lay me up for weeks.
 " But don't you know what you escaped by falling into the sewer?' he asked
 :" No
 "'Then let me tell you that the roof of the hotel fell in last night and killed three men, and if yon had been in your bed you would have been crushed to pulp. You really owe this town some thing instead of talking about damages
 When able to get out" continued the drummer, "I found that public opinion was against me and the people ready to stand a suit. and by advice of a lawy 1r settled the case for $125.

 Never before in the history of the United States has there been such an example Of concentrated hardihood as Andrew Carnegie has displayed in presum- ing, by the offer of money, to influence the policy of the Government in the Philippines.
 This exaggerated conception of the power of riches which represent unfair profits amassed under an unfair system, ought to impress upon the Government the thoroughly vicious and demoralizing effects of an economic policy which clumsy effort in the way of atonement to its beneficiaries
