WHAT THE WORLD WANTS.
BY Rev, Frank Grams

John the Baptist was like a cannon
ball shot out from the consciousness of
God into the conscience of the people.
red hot. He was wild prophet from a
wild country. He had lived so long with
out anything that the wealth. the fears,
the ambitions of the world had no power
to move him from his course. Hence he
was an ideal preacher, the only kind that
ought to preach. There are only two
kinds of preachers who ought 10 preach
those who are independently rich or those
who are independently poor.
Yet John the Baptist was just like any
other genius. He could not escape from
our common humanity. So when he was
cast into prison he began to have doubts
and to ask himself whether he was a
prophet or fool, man with a message
or man with wheels. No man with a
great message ever threw himself against
the prejudice of the world, to be thrown
hopelessly back, that he did rot doubt
himself and his God.
But John went straight to Jesus with
his doubts. When we have doubts we 60
to learned books or to wise men. The
result is that we have our doubts doubly
damned and thrice COMPOUNDED.
You cannot prove Christianity by the
church. 1t is true that all the respecta-
BILE people are in the church. The church
is so respectable that great many of the
greatest scoundrels in society are in it.
But this is no proof of Christianity.
You can't prove Christianity by the
Bible. The Bible is the king of books,
but is not an instrument in itself to pro-
mote Christianity. You can quote the
Bible till you are black in the face and
not make one single convert. God never
intended for us to worship the Bible. II
is merely a vehicle.
You can't prove Christianity by logic
We often hear men spoken of as defend
ers Of the faith-tue men who do battle
with the aguosties. 1t is these defend
ers of the faith who have gotten US into
all the trouble If it were not for them
Christianity would have no battles to
fight. There is one argument before
which no agnostic can stand. That is the
argument of the Christly life.
You cannot prove Christianity by mira
cles. If some men were to come around
to-day pulling up trees with his words Of
working other miracles | shouldn't follow
him. i should simply think l was not
on to his system.
The way to prove Christianity. 70 make
it real to men, is to live as Christ lived
unselfshly ana for others; to GO about do
ing good, caring for the sick, helping the
poor. comforting the afflicted. Chri..
tianity consists of doing good VITA both
hands.
The trouble with the church to-day is
that it has too much scripture, too much
logic, too many miracles. What the
world wants is sample of Christianity;
and we have very few samples. We want
less meanness. less rascality, less refined
and superhned deviltry ma more good
ness, more helpfplness, lore love. There
is but one proof of Christianity, and that
is your life.

SUCCESS FROM SEEKING.
BY Rev. Thomas J. Mason.

Man seeks for the best and endeavors
to find that which will bring to himself
end his loved ones the greatest prosperity.
In our Saviour's life we can find much by
simply looking up this one word, Sea-"
In our Saviour's life however we can
not but notice that few indeed came to
him seeking spiritual food. Many came
from curiosity because they desired to see
the miracles he performed others fol-
lowed him for selfish purposes only. They
cared nothing for him and took no inter-
est in the affairs of his Kingdom.
The crying noed of the church to-day
is for men and women who will earnestly
seek to find Christ and know the win of
God instead Of being satisfied with Gn
occasional presence in the church, where
they come not to worship ia sincerity and
to find out the will of God but too often
TO simply find fault or criticize the min
lister or the choir.
There is a lack of humanity in all cur
churches. Men are seeking their own
and Losing sight of the eternal in the ever
increasing desire to find and hold on to
that which will only bring a temporal
blessing and few years Of worldly pros
perity at the best. The man who seeks
God earnestly denotes a consciousness Of
his need of him. Men in general do OF
regard God. The man of our own day re-
minds me very strongly Of Pharaoh as
he defies minister and people Of God alike
and when spoken to about the evil intiu
ence he is exerting and warned of the
wrath of God he ain,iy folds his arms
and asks: "Who is the Lord -"
If the business len Of our country ard
the laboring men sought to know the viii
Of God and to do that which is becoming
to a Christian people we would have al
end to all labor disputes. iil-advised
strikes and strife between capital and
labor.

At Tenne he hittes We Bedde again,
If yet he has good Luck.

And for ye Food does Pine:

And to complete We Meal does eat

And Follows forth We Plowe.
But leaves his Place full soon to chase
Back home We straying Cove.

And then does MUNICH Bite Of Lunch,
Which he dispatches soon.
All day he gaily labors
In the Field and Stable-YaTd.

And also eats and sleeps.

 A small oblong platter is called sandwich tray. It is a convenient size and shape for sandwiches.
 A stylish three-quarter coat of English make has the sleeves carried over the shoulder to the collar.
 Dotted swiss is again to enjoy a vogue. There has never been found a satisfactory substitute for this de- lightful material.
 Artists bows, with very narrow, short loops and flowing ends in gren- adine, Louisine and foulard, are a new notion in neckties.
 Silk Cluny lace flowers beautifully tinted are a new trimming. Used as applique work on organdie or sheer gowns they are highly ornamental.
 Blouses are now tucked all over or set in diagonal cordings, and the slanting lines are more becoming to the figure than straight tucks or cOrdings.
 A lovely gown lately seen was of light tan cloth, with skirt ornament ed with five rows of velvet of deep CT shade, that became broader to- ward the foot.
 Even glove buttons for fall are to show the art nouveau craze. Heads and other ideas in relief are to be seen upon even these trifing parts ot the feminine costume.

Valuable Christmas Presents.

Capt. l.. D. Phillips was the recipi ent of the most valuable Christmas presents that a man could receive. Capt. Phillips came here last Febru- ary as the representative of Douglas, Lacy & O., of New York, who have extensive mining interests in this sec ton. During his management of the business he has not only made him self popular with our people but has also been the means of making the firm he represents popular, as well, the firm being comparative strangers when he came here. The tokens re ceived from Douglas. Lacy x O.. by him furnish another evidence that the firm is all right and appreciates the services of good man One was in the shape of a beautiful gold watch on which was inscribed: Capt l.. D. Phillips, for faithful and appreciated services; Douglas, Lacy & Co.,, De cember p, 1901" The other was a simple message in the shape of tel egram, none the less valuable. Ii reads as follows:
 Approaching that a large meas ure of our phenomenal success during the last year is attributable to om agencies and branches we send greet ings for a Merry Christmas and Hap py New Year. with best wishes for q mutually prosperous year to follow Douglas, Lacy & Co"
 A knowledge of services well ren dered and an expression of apprecia tion on the part of the persons re- ceiviug them is as valuable a token a. one can receive.

QUEER LITTLE NAVIES.

The navy of the sultan of Morocco consists of one steamer, the Has sanie, with a Greek captain, Scotch engineer and a Moorish crew.
 It is now almost forgotten that there once existed a navy owned by the republic of Texas, before It be- came a state of the union. Its prin- cipal vessel was a frigate, called the Houston, after Gen. Sam Houston.
 The navy of the black republic of Liberia on the Gold Coast consists of two gunboats which are alleged to have once been penny steamers" on the Thames. Their chief mission is to visit the remoter creeks and bays of the coast and collect taxes.
 An amazing navy was that which 20 years ago existed in Hawaii. Rob ert Louis Stevenson has told the story of its solitary vessel, the Kali miloa. There was an English ad- venturer named Gibson, who had led a revolt against the Dutch in Java, and subsequently, turned up in Hono- lulu as a Mormon missionary. He became prime minister to the native King halakaua of Hawaii, and per suaded him that his little kingdom ought to have a modern navy. Hence this comic opera vessel.

VIRTUES OF THE ONION.

 The onion is really a very ordinary vegetable, but there is one rOiut which distinguishes it, and that is the some what high percentage of sulphur 1t contains Possibly the virtues ascribed to it depend on the presence of this element.
 Like the lemon, the onion may lay claim to antiscurbutic proTerties- that is, to qualities which render it 8 preventive of scuryy. Its mineral constituents include proportion of potash salts, and probably its anti scorbutic qualities depend upon these latter compounds
 The onion is doubtless a healthful enough vegetable, but it's supposed sleep-producing powers are said to be mythical. The virtue of onion juice as a remedy for the stings and wasp at tacks is conceded. In the cottager's repertoire of "first-aid" expedients, onion juice, rubbed on the sting, rep resents the ammonia of q more ad- vanced stage of domestic medicins.

 Dr. McIvor-Tyndall's visit has awakened deep interest in those subjects which are termed the un- fathonable, and after all, nothing 50 fascinates and enthralls the human mind. however practical, as anything bordering on the mysterious.
 It is probably the unslackab!e thirst after knowledge, inherent in the human race, which makes any thing occult of such intense interest
 Dr. McIvor-Tyndall enjoys the dis tinction of being the most famous scientist along psychic lines of the present day. and his demonstrations are unique, mystifying and highly en- tertaining.
