CHURCH NOTES.
ST. STEPHENS CHURCH.

The pleasant weather gave no excuse
for home-staying and resulted in a
large congregation at st. Stephens
church last Sunday.
The Rev. w. T. Forsythe, the rector,
spoke from the text found in st. John,
l0:11: II am the good shepherd; the
good shepherd giveth his life for the
sheep" This chapter divides itself nat
urally into three parts. In the first
the shepherd of the sheep is contrssted
with the robber. The sheep are gathered
into the fold at night and put in charge
of the night porter. In the morning each
shepherd comes and calls his own sheep.
They know his voice and follow him.
This fold in the parable means the jew
sh church; pastor is John the Bap-
tist and the morning shepherd is Jesus
Christ. Those who have been true rec
ognize his voice.
From this part of the parable we learn
that great Importance is attached to fidel-
ity. Christ says, Where are other sheep,
not of this fold them also must | bring,
and they shall hear my voice" We no
longer believe that ali heather are lost.
but that their destiny will be determined
by the manner in which they have lived
up TO what light they have.
The second division is the flock at the
noontide hour. The sheep are feeding
freely, no need of constant care. Even
so is it with us In the Christian church.
We are told in the New Testament that
Christian religion is freedom. Freedom
is not licensed to do any and everything,
but liberty to do right. True liberty is
the power to do freely Gods commands; ;
to do them because we wish to do them.
In hi . t,a ,In TO
the fold" Through Christ we have ac-
cess to the Father, access by means of
PRAYER. We could not understand the
Bible without Christ.
The third division of the subject is
Christ as the good shepherd, contrasted
with the hirelng The good shepherd is
willing to lay down his life for the sheep.
This the hirelIng will not do for he was
not hired to do it.
We learn many lessons from the para
Bile. The first is security. Christ says
that no one can pluck US from his hand.
This does not mean that we cannot take
ourselves from him, but that others can
not take us. We cannot blame our cir
cumstances in life for neglect to follow
Christ but have our own choice.
Another lesson is that of gratitude.
The good shepherd has laid down his life
for us. We certainly owe something to
him.
The third is the duty of imitation. It
is our duty to follow the good shepherd.
There is no way to heayen except by the
cross.
In this life we cannot get something
for nothing. 1t costs something TO fol
low Christ. some sacrifice and self denial,
therefore it is worth something.
The parable teaches missionary spirit.
There are other sheep and other folds :;
there are souls in Africa, China and
South America to be saved. He laid
down his life for them and wants them
in his fold.
The last lesson is one of unity unity
of Christ's people. Often in a little COM
munity we see several churches strug
Cling for existence where only one should
be. We cannot compromise our differ
ences of creed, but we can harmonize
them, and make better progress in the
grand work in which all are engaged.

MANY DRUGS ARE COSTLY.

Medicines that Sell at Retail for More
than Their Weight in Gold.
1.-THE price of many drugs used in
medicine is astonishing to those who
are not acquainted with the subject"
remarked a druggist. There are sew
eral that are worth their weight In gold
(about $50 an ounce, while 81. So and
SIS an ounce are quite common prices in
pharmacy. l filed prescription the
other day that cost $50.
But there Is one drug that I can re-
call which Is worth more than its
weight in gold. That is pseudo physos-
tigmine. don't think that 1t has a
popular name. 1t is too rich for that.
In the pharmacists list 1t was quoted
at 81 a grain. or $3.50 an ounce. The
seed from which the drug is made
grows in India and Brazil. as well as
in parts of South Africa. This seed.
tradition says, was once used by native
chiefs as an ordeal. The ordeal gener-
ally resulted In the death OF the man
upon whom 1t was tried, and so was
considered a great truth-finder. The
prepared drug Is sometimes used now
in the prescriptions for the treatment
Of heart disease.
Another drug that takes the palm
for costliness is, curiously enough. the
one that is perhaps the most widely
known by name of them all to the gen.
eral public-musk. Its retail price at the
present moment is about $50 an ounce.

one half. times the value of pure gold,
twenty-four carats fine. 1t Is obtained
from the musk deer. a very rare ami
NAL, and is contained in a f0llicle. OF
which there Is only one in each animal,
SO that an ounce of the drug represents
approximately one Of these precious
animals. As 1t Is largely used for scent.
the demand constantly exceeds the
supply and the price has been steadily
advancing. There is no reason why 1t
should not go to $3.50 or $500 an ounce
during the next few years, as the musk
deer is gradually vanishing from the
face Of the earth. Ameri-

At the. recent meeting in New York
of the business men who form the
Sphinx Club. advertising" was the
subject that was discussed. One Of the
speakers, Mr.. r. G. Ogden, stated that
advertising is as essential as a place OF
business. To beginners he said: "You
must contrive in the shortest possible
time to let the greatest possible num-
Der Of citizens know of your existence.
This is general advertising. Then call
attention to particular goods, which is
special advertising. Teach people to be-
lieve your announcements"
A few years ago great deal OF In
genuity was wasted In fooling people
into reading advertisements. The COM
monest plan was to devise a newspaper
article which. beginning as thrilling
story, ended as a fat advertisement.
Few people, however. read beyond the
point where the advertisement proper
commenced. This method Of obtaining
readers soon fell into desuetude, and
the ingenious advertiser now prints
only the advertisement; but ne makes
the ad so interesting that everybody
wants to read it.-Wichita (Kan.)

chant recently gave expression to MS
