Healing. Not woundinr.

The singing tongue, the cut into the
old wound. the unlovely criticism. the
acid in the life. have no place in one
who Is rooted and grounded In love"
1t is argued that we must fight the
evil and oppose the wrong and check
the dangerous tendencies. So we must.
but no man burns his house down to
get rid OF the hornets nest within it.,
and there is no necessity to cut OFF an
arm because there is a wound on a
finger. The Christians business is to
heal. not TO amputate; to smother out
the tendencies In others to sting, not
set them on fire. Truth does not get
exalted by fiinging it at people; it gets
exalted whenever 1t gets really ex-
pressed In mans life and shines out
through him. Christ conquers His en-
emies by loving them. 1t is a good
method to try.-American Friend.

THE WATCH AS A CURIOSITY.
Facts Not Commonly Known About
the Pocket Timepiece.

the Pocket Timepfece.
Open your watch and look ct the little
wheels, springs and screws, each an in
dispensible part of the whole wonderful
machine. Notice the busy balance wheel
as it files to and fro increasingly, dsy and
night, year In and year out. This won
derfui little machine Is the result OF
hundreds of years OF study and expert
ment.
The watch carried by the average man
is composed OF ninety-eight pieces, and
its manufacture embraces more than
1900 distinct and separate operations
Some OF the smallest screws are so minute
that the unaided eye cannot distinguish
them from steel filings or speeks OF dirt.
Under a powerful magnifying glass a
perfect screw IL revealed. The slit at tho
head is 2-lo0 OF an inch wide. II takes
30s, coo OF these screws to weigh pound,
and pound is worth 1855. The hair
spring is strip OF the finest steel, about
ek inches long, 1-1oo inch wide, q l0, COO
inch thick. II Is coiIed up in spiral form
and finely tempered.
The process of tempering these springs
was long held as a secret by the few fort
innate ones possessing it, and even now
is not generally known. Their mRnufac-
ture r,quires great skili and care. The
strip Is gagged to 20 100 OF an inch, but
no measuring instrument has as yet been
devised capable OF fine enough gauging to
determine beforehand by the SIZE of The
strip what the strength of the finished
spring will be. A 20-l00 part of an inch
difference In the thickness Of the strip
m axes difference In the running of a
watch OF about six minutes per hour.
The value OF these springs when finished
and placed In watches is enormous In pro-
portion to the material from which they
are made. A comparison will give good
idea. A ton OF steel made up into hair
springs, when in watches, is worth more
than twelve and one half times the value
of the same weight In pure gold. Hair
spring wire weighs 120 OF grain to the
inch. One mile OF wire weighs less than
half a pound. The balance gives five
vibrations every second, 800 every minute,
1900 every hour, 49,, 900 every day, ana
1877 $50 600 every year. AT each vibration
IL rotstes about one and one-fourth
times, which makes 1877, 100, 900 revolutions
every year. Take for Illustration, loco
motive with six foot driving wheels. Let
its wheels be run until they have given
the same number of revolutions that a
watch does In one year, and they will
have covered distance equal to twenty
eight complete circuits of the earth. All
this watch does without other than
winding once every twenty four hours.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvcR.


1bBtG ADE WtFA of< aAafNAs
3o-comment by Rev. 5. II. Doyle
ToP1c-The r-sn life: Christ's. ours
Luke xiv. i-lz; Col i'll, l-l0 Can Easter
servicA)
The most inspiring anthem through
out the Christian world today is that
one which declares. '@The Lord is
riseny' The Christian world rej0ices
today in the crownIng fact Of its his
tory-the resurrection OF Jesus Christ.
For II Christ be not risen from the
dead. then Is our faith in Him in vain
and our hopes in Him viii perish. But
now IS Christ risen from the dead and
hath become the first fruits Of them
that slept" Halleluiahl
Death could not keep his prey;
Angels rolled the stone away.
And Christ came forth to live a risen
life.
1. Christ's risen life is a historical
fact The record of Luke xiv. l-12, is
q historical record. II is not the recita-
ton of a myth or OF deception. The
enemies Of Christ in their supreme
cautiousness made any trickery impos-
sible and thus added to the proofs of
this historic certainty. The friends OF
Christ In their dense ignorance OF the
true meaning of His prophecies com
blned their testimony with that OF his
enemies in that they did not expect his
resurrection and were surprised be-
yond measure when it actually came to
pass. Thus friend and foe contribute
their part to the establishment OF the
certainty of the most stupendous and
important fact In the worlds history.
2. Christ's risen life is a testimony
ligion. Christianity stands or falls with
the resurrection OF Christ. This his
toric fact being established beyond all
doubt. Christianity stands firm and es-
tablished with ii.
8 Christ's risen life is a guarantee
that we shall rise again. But now is
Christ risen from the dead and hath
become the first fruits Of them that
slept" Christ rose as the first fruits.
which are always a guarantee of the
fruition OF that which is still In the
ungrown state. The first ripened sheaf
II proof positive that the rest of the
grain will ripen. So the resurrection
Of Christ is an actual demonstration Of
the doctrine OF the resurrection Of all
men.
4. Christ's risen life is the comfort.
hope and inspiration Of His people In
all ages and under all chimes.
But in Christ we also arose; in Him
we died, were buried and rose again.
What should our risen life be? Ii
should be Christ centered and heaven
conferred instead OF being self conferred
and world centered. IF ye then be
risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above. where Christ stitch
on the right hand of God. Set your
affections on things above and@hot on
things on the earth, for We are dead
and your life is hid with Christ in God.
When Christ. who is our life. shall APP
pear. then shall We also appear with
Him in glory. Mortify. therefore. your
members which are upon the earth"
Risen In Christ. let US live the risen
life that He lived.

The poem Of this week suggests the
thought of "iight in the da kness".
Sometimes our efforts TO speak a word OF
cheer or comfort seem so futile " hen sor
row weighs down the heart OF friend
that we wonder II 1t were not wiser to
keep silent. Bot in dark hours cheerful
friend is a helpful presence. Do not for a
moment consider the word cheerful in the
sense of heartless. One may be all sym
pathy and yet be hopeful and cheerful.
Heart answereth to heart and often in the
time of sorrow the aching heart finds rest
aud comfort in the strong and cheerful
presence OF friend.
The poem tells as "how we know" this
to be true. As we have been uplifted and
helped by the song, the prayer, the sym
pathy, the words of others, 50 our kindly
thought II carried into action will brighten
the way OF others. Many OF us can recall
some single sentence, or act, or word, even,
that has echoed and re-eehoed in our mem
cries, bringing comfort aud causing song
of hopefulness to arise in the heart.
