How full and precious are Gods
promises to US in our ordinary every
day life.
The rarest feeling that. ever lights a
human face is the contentment of q
loving soul.
Said old Thomas Fuller, "You can
not repent too soon, because you do
not know how soon it may be toe
late.n
Repentance, says Dr. Conwell. "is
the greatest deed that can he done or
eartb."
Never he discouraged because good
things get on 80 slowly here and
never fail to do daily that good which
lies next to your. hand.
The soul grows strong through storm
and conflict if it never grows strong at
all we find it has never known the
softening, hallowing touch of grief.
The Cross of Christ is good ancho-
rage for those who feel their weakness,
and even more necessary to those who
do not so feel.

The Origin Of MI. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man was
simply William or John-that is to say, he
had only Christian name without any
kind of "handle" before 1t or surname
after 1t, says the Philadelphia Record.
Some means Of distinguishing one John
or William from another John or William
became necessary. Nioknames derived
from a mans trade or his dwelling placs
or from some personal popularity wers
tackled on to his Christian name, and plain
John became John Smith. As yet there
were no "misters" In the land.
Some John Smith accumulated moro
wealth than the bulk Of his fellows-be'
came perhaps Q landed proprietor or an
employer Of hired labor. Then he began
to be called in the Norman-French OF the
day the "maistre" Of this place or that
of these workmen or of those.
In time the "maistre," or "maister,"
as 1t soon became, got taoked on before
his name, and he became Master Smith
and his wife was Maistress Smith.
Gradually the sense OF possession was
lost sight Of, and the title was conferred
upon any kindly mere possession OF
wealth or holding some position OF more
or less consideration and Importance.

Nios For Nervous People.

A party of Cambridge professors on ono
occasion undertook, for scientific object,
10 penetrate into the depths Of Cornish
mine.
One of the number relates the following
startling incident Of his visit: On his
ascent in the ordinary manner, by means
of a bucket and with miner for fellow
passenger, he perceived, as he thought, un-
mistakable symptoms Of tie frailty of the
rope.
"How often do you change your ropes,
my good man9' he inquired when about
half way from the bottom OF tho awful
abyss.
"We change them every three months,
SIR" replied the man in the bucket, land
we shall change this one tomorrow II we
get up safe today, sir. ."-Pearson's Weekly.

and let Israel's host cross. They
could have built bridge in couple
of days as it isn't over 40 feet wide
and not deep, small, muddy stream.
At this spot is where the Saviour was
baptized.
Many other historic spots were
visited on the return. This was a
drive of 60 miles through rain and
mud, over mountains and through
swamps.
The flowers of Palestine are beauti-
full. The lily of the field is the incest
wild flower that grows; but not a
bird, rabbit, mouse, snake or any
living creature is seen (nothing but
fleas.)
After my return to the Holy City I
spent one.half day In the church of
the Holy Sepulchre. This covers
the ground where Christ was crucified
and buried, also the grave of Adam,
the center of the earth, and many
other holy places.
The church is large, many stories
high, has several domes, and caves
under it. Four sects own it and SOL
diers are stationed. here also to keep
them from fighting. Only last year
three men were killed here in free
for all to settle the question as to who
had right to sweepit out. The sep
ulchre. of the Virgin Mary, the tomb
of Absalom, the pools of Sloan and
Jove and many other places were
visited, butt have neither time nor
space to describe them.
I. have tried to give you a short
sketch of lower Palestine, not as seen

Just as it is. The city has about
$4,000 inhabitants, of all nations,
colors and creeds and hard lot they
are. Will mail this from Carlo,
Egypt, as there has not been a mail
here for over three weeks and Turkish
postal laws are very queer, as only a
part of the mail sent out ever reaches
it's destination. The time must come
when Turkey will be blotted from the
map. The Sultan has got a dynamo
and dynamite mixed in his fertile
brain and will not allow any electric
lights in the kingdom for fe; they
will blow him up. A primitive rail-
road connects Joppa and Jerusalem.
The engines are built 10y the Baldwin

failed to recognize him in the padded
monster that now staggered clumsily into
the room, supported on each side by his
second and sword bearer. The thick armor
of leather and wadding with which he was
bolstered entirely protected his body and
limbs. His neck was rigidly incased ina
high, thick collar of silk and whipcord,
and his eyes were protected by Iron gog-
giles as large as small teacups, from which
q strap passed round the ears to be buckled
at the back of the head. His second was
somewhat similarly equipped, and In ad-
dition wore a leather cap with strong
iron peak. The other principal presently
entered the room and took up his position
at one swords length from Zimmerman.

Of short bouts or "gangs," with brief In!

long, nasty looking blades, sharp as ra-
zors and flexible as riding switches-were
