say Our Father But someone asks
where is the harm of 1t? Simply this;
it is not true, and no reii-
gious lie is harmless, and this
one is most dangerous. You seal
the lips of every unsaved, I'M
redeemed man and woman, boy and
girl on this earth who has been in the
habit of saying our Father, from
saving it any more until they become
really Gods children, and there will
fall upon this earth tonight such
feeling of orphanage as it has never
known, and there win be a nightly
blinded to their real guilty condition
before God, as long as they think God
is their Father. He is only their Gre
ator and they are in REBELLION against
Him. But He offers to adopt them as
His own children; hence Christ came

why did not God make the
caterpillar butterfly at first?
don't know, but 1 do know
that it comes into the world
an unsightly worm, a caterpillar, and
that God has ordained that by SIM
pie process it may rise into a higher
kingdom and fly away as a butterfly.
Why did not God make us His chill
dren at first? / don't know, but 1 do
know that He predistinated us unto
the adoption of children of Jesus Christ
unto HIMSELF that we came into ex-
istence as simply His creatures, made,
His image, and that by simple pro-
cess, accepting Jesus Christ as Savior,
We rise into higher kingdom and
become the children of God by faith
Christ Jesus And do know
that millions of poor caterpillars die
without ever becoming butterflies.
Why? Too busy gnawing on green
leaf to stop and submit to Gods sim
pie process for becoming a butterfly.
Likewise millions of human beings die
simply Gods creatures without ever be-
coming Gods children. Why? Too
busy enjoying the world or secret sin
to stop and submit to Gods simple
plan for becoming a real child of God.
Oh, friends. we may go on teaching the
unsaved to call God our Father but
it is only to blind them to their real
last, guilty condition. We may go on
calling God our Father but it is
only to blind ourselves to our justly
condemned condition, to at last awake
in hell Why not become now really
child of God? Only pride or secret sin
is in the way.

POLITENESS IN JAPAN.
Even 'Givsng Notice" Is Made an Oc-
casiOn of Compliments.

Even "Givsng Notice" Is Mads an Oc-
casiOn of Compliments.
POliteness distinguishes the relations
between mistresses and maids in ia
pan. 1t is so ineXOrable in Japan that
even the ceremony of giving notice"
is turned into an occasion of cOmpli-
ments. There are no vulgar threats
or sulkings or recriminatiOns or scOld-
ings or answering back" A servant
will never tell her mistress that she is
dissatisfied or has had some better
place offered her. That would be un-
pardonably rude. Instead she asks
for a few days leave of absence. This
is willingly granted, for Japanese serv-
ants have no settled time for taking
holidays.
At the end Of the given time the mis-
tress will begin to wonder what has be-
come of the girl. She is not left to
wonder long. A letter arrives couched
in the most polite and humble terms
and giving any excuse but the real one.
Sometimes it will be that she has
found herself too weak for service or
that illness at home detains her. What
ever it may be, the plea is never con-
tested. but accepted as final and a new
servant enga ged. Then, after some
weeks have passed, very likely after
taking a fresh place, the old servant
will turn up one day, express her
thanks for past kindnesses and regrets
at not returning in time; will take her
arrears Of wages and her bundles and
disappear forever. So the matter ends
with the kindest semblance of feeling
on both sides.
If the mistress on her part does not
wish to have the girl back, she will not
tell her so to her face. but will send
word. Even when servants come on
trial for a few days they often leave
nOminally to fetch their belongings or
make arrangements for their return,
never because they have any "com-
plants" to make. Any discomfort is
to be endured rather than the suspi-
ciOn of bad manners or of anything
| leading up to a "scene"

Marriage and Crime.

1t is said that statistics prove that in
every 1000 bachelors there are thirty
eight criminals, while in every 1000
married men the criminals number only
eighteen. If this is so, it surely proves
that the present day members of the
sex labeled coy and hard to please have
at least an immense capability for
keeping men out Of mischief, sufficient
to Outbalance perhaps even the unkind
reputation handed down the ages by

GREELEYS REVENGE.
outcome of the Editors Tiff With
Elizabeth Cady stanton.

Outcome of the Editors Ttn with
Elizabeth CRdy stanton.
The late Elizabeth Cady Stanton was
particularly apt at retOrt, and one of
her swift parties of a thrust delivered
by Horace Greeley against her favOrite
doctrine of woman suffrage is historic.
Madam" said Horace one day dur
ing the civil war, 1.-The ballot and the
bullet go together. If you want to
vote, are you ready to fight"
Certainly, sir" she responded. Il
am ready to fight, just as you are fight
ing, through a substitute"
Notwithstanding their differences Of
opinion, Mrs. Stanton and Greeley
were personally friendly until the New
York constitutional convention of 1868.
A woman suffrage clause was strenu-
ously pressed upon that body and as
vigorously opposed by Mr.. Greeley.
One day, after the Tribune editor had
made some particularly rasping re-
marks upon the subject, George VIII
liam Curtis rose and said:
Il have the honor, Mr.. Chairman, to
present a petition in favor of the wOm-
an suffrage amendment signed by Mrs.
Horace Greeley and 800 other ladies'"
Greeley was furious and rightly as
cribed the appearance of the memorial
at that moment to Mrs. Stanton.
"Why did you not put my wife's
maiden name on that petition and call
her Mary Cheney Greeley" he de-
manded the next time they met.
Because" said Mrs. Stanton, Il
wanted all the world to know that
Horace Greeley's wife protested against
her husbands report on the suffrage
amendment"
"All right" retorted the editor. Here
after you shall always be spoken Of in
the Tribune as Mrs. Henry B. Stan
ton" And so it was to the time of her
death, although the name of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton was known to hundreds
Of thousands who could not identify

which the Tribune, for revenge, tried
to obscure her fame.-Pilgrim.

Cau.e of Apne,dtcG,,.

Physicians have all along contended
that appendicitis is an Inflammation of
the appendix-the result of digestive
disturbance or Of lowered vitality of the
intestinal tract. The cold food or LIQUID
has the effect of sending the blood from
the intestines. the result being that the
vitality of the tract is greatly lowered.
If this practice is continued, the ap-
pendix soon becomes infiamed. and a
case of appendicitis results. 1t is con-
tended that all cases of appendicitis dur
ing the summer months are due to cold
foods and drinks. The fact that the lat
ter will bring on the disease was first
noticed by German physician, who
called the attention of his fellow prac-
htioners to the fact The result was that
patients were carefully watched, and
the observations of the German physi-
clans were verified. Therefore. beware
OF cold things for the stomach in the
summer time.

Helena and were Quartered on the Mis-

The information reached me that the

A Loe In Blue!

When Gen. Fitzhugh Lee went home
after the war with Spain and the evacu-
alton OF Havana he made calls on his
neighbors, as a matter of course, and
was received with marked coldness by
the old chap who had served under him
during the rebellion. Lee tried his best
to warm the old friend and neighbor up.
and finally felt impelled to inquire what
the matter was.
General, 1 allow as how we've al
ways been friends?" asked the veteran,
in return.
"Y-e-s, we have" replied Lee; "and
there's nothing in the world would not
do for you"
''Well, there's just one thing 1 allow
you can do for me, and that is to send
me word half an hour afore you're ready
to die, so that may make haste TO shut
ne off ahead of you"
why" asked Lee, his amazement in
creasing, what under heaven is your
reason for wanting to die before me?"
I'm mighty anxious" was the reply.
