PRAYER

Eternal God. who cUmmittest to us
the swift and solmen trust of life;
since we know not what a day may
bring forth. but only that the hour for
sewing Thee is always present. may
we wake to the instant claim Of Thy
holy will, not waiting for tomorrow,
but yielding today Lay to rest, by
the persuasion of thy spirit, the re-
sistance Of our passion, Incidence or
fear. Consecrate with Thy presence
the way our feet may go, and the
humbest work will shine and the
toughest places be made plain. Lift
us above the unrighteous anger and
mistrust into faith and hope and char
ity by simple and steadfast reliance
on thy sure will; and so may we be
modest in our time of wealth, patient
under disappointment, ready for dan
ger, serene in death. In all things
draw us to the mind of Christ that
thy lost image may be traced again.
and thou mayst own us as at one
with him and thee. Amen.-Dr Mar
tinoau.

Tennis and rowing are over till next

BILE in few weeks, so now the athletic
instructors are advocating bag punch
as the ideal indoor exercise for women.
particularly for women who have to
tolvo the ever-present problem of how
to grow thin. A well-known writer on
athletics insists that by punching bag

gives thin women curves and makes
stout women thin. If a woman has
poor complexion the exercise will give
her the tints of peaches and cream,
If anything will. The object of all ex
ercise is to make the blood circulate
rapidly and well, and bag punching
does that to perfection. Unlike fem
cling, bag punching requires no instruc-
tor. yet its advocates say IL will make
woman just as graceful and as light
on her feet as the other exercise. She
will learn to poise and balance herself
and this will give her a springy step
and an easy graceful carriage. Unlike
fencing, too. no antagonist is required.
That is another strong point in favor
of bag punching. Last of all the outfit
is inexpensive. Ten dollars will buy
tirF-class light punching bag with
framework support; a fairly good one
mGV be had for even less. The only
other thing necessary is a pair of light
weight boxing gloves which may be
bought for a dollar. The exercise can
be taken in any costume just as well
as in the most up-to-date gymnasium
garments. And a woman will derive
almost as much benefit from awkward
bag punching if she keeps at it, as she
will from the real scientific kind. These
are rules of the punching contest as
laid down by an authority:

Everybody knows what a dangerous
occupation the chamois hunters of the
Alps have to endure to make a liveli-
hood, bat few know that these 'chas-
seurs de chamois" have a side line that
is still more venturesome.
1t is that of capturing young eagles.
Only the more daring of the chamois
hunters undertake it, despite the fact
that the financial rewards are much
greater than comes to those who de-
vote themselves entirely to shooting
the pimble-footed animals whose soft
skin is always in such demand
The eagle of the Alps is royal bird
who builds his nest far above the rest
of the earths inhabitants. The most
inaccessible cliffs, guarding deep lying
gorges and crowned with snow-capped
peaks, is his favorite spot for home
making, and it is to these places that
the eagle hunter has to 60
The method of the hunt is not only
dangerous, but it is excessively tedious
as well. II necessitates, sometimes. the
searchers hanging in midair for hours
at time. The circling of the eagles is
carefully watched and the cleft noted
on which the nest is probably located
This can only be determined after long
and careful study of the birds habits
The center of the diameter of their cir
cular fight is sure to be near the nest
and the young eagles.
The next thing is to get to the top of
the cliff and rig up double set of pull
leys. The hauling pulley is fastened
on a sturdy standing tree firmly rooted
in the lntrlcacies of the mountain top
A cable is veered through this and then

1t is impossible to be religious with

RIRLE Study.

Interest in Bible study is developing
among church people all ever the
country. and the movement. which
had its beginning largely IN classaI
that were established for the training
Of Sunday school teachers, has spread
until there are now in hundreds OF
churches special Bible study classes
which have no connection with the
Sunday school and in many of the
larger cities special courses are ar
ranged in connection with the colleges
and seminaries lectures being given
in the churches. The American insti-
tute of sacred literature of the Univer-
sity of Chicago is responsible for the
formation OF very many of the classes
in churches. as for eight years it he:
planned courses of study, published the
outlines and other materisl needed.
and in many ways fostered the interest
OF the churches in the project. The
grSwth of the movement can be traced
by the increase of the number OF peo-
pI- studying the institutes courses.
The first year there were l,5O0. the in
crease year by year being 1000, 200,
$500. 4.400, 4,60O, 5000 and last year
10000 Figures for this season are not
yet obtainable, but indications are that
they Will far exceed those of last year,
when classes were conductet in over
500 churches.

God fills the earth and crowns the
years with his goodness, but it is rath-
er by their troubles and their needs
that men are brought to own him as
the giver of good. SO long as his gifts
of abundance and OF safety came in
unbroken succession, the very con-
stancy of their coming seems to hide
the hand of the giver. II is when dis
tess and disaster befall us that we
begin to call upon him. II Is true that
that goodness Cor gentleness) of God
leads men to repentance, but, as the
context of that gracious statement
shows, men commonly do not fall in
with that leading 1t is in the time
Of need that men seek a throne of
grace. So tie troubles of a nation
have their use in reminding us that we
are not sufficient to ourselves, but must
cry to God to uphold us, 20 protect
our public order, and to bring to
naught the destroying forces which
threaten it.-Sunday School Times.

coin was found. On examination it
proved to ne an old Spanish coin Of

date, which was indistinct. Further

other coins which in each case were
found to have been imbedded behinG
