Venus periods are exceeding high
temperatures during the first stages
OF regular storm periods, excessive
electrical phenomena, and followed
by sudden changes to phenomenally
cool.
On and touching the 9th and 10Th
look for reaction to storm conditions
change to much warmer, falling
barometer and more storms of rain,
thunder and heavy squalls of wind.
The regular summer solstice disturb
ances will set in at this time, making
June thunder showers probable al
most any afternoon and evening.
From about che Sth to 18th each year
the Earth passes a point in its orbit
at which abnormal electrical changes
are infused into our globe and atmos-
phere. Seismic and volcanic disturb
ances reach a maximum in the globe
generally, and a general electrical
condition is absorbed that expresses
itself in an excess of summer light
ming, especially through the June
evenings and nights, almost to the
end of the month. The greater part
of this solstice lightning, flashing and
playing through the heavens, often
throughout the June nights, is wholly
harmless and should excite no ner-
vOus fear even in the most timid per-
son. OF course the lightning bolts
that fly from compact and rushing
thunder storms are different, and
every precaution against danger
should be taken at such moments.
Under no circumstances should one
ever take refuge under a green tree
in one of these vicious June thunder
storms.
The regular storm period covering
the 18th to the 18th, will reach its cul-
minating stages about Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, the 18th, 18th
and 18th. Many electrical storms
will be most natural, with some ener-
getic and dangerous wind storms.
Watch the clouds, your barometer
and other indications-have a safe
refuge available in case of manifest
danger, and all will be well. Put
away foolish forebodings and go
about your business. Make careful
plans to AVOID the June showers, es-
pecially in your hay-making at this
time. On and touching the 21st and
22nd look for the return of storm con-
ditions, with renewed thunder and
rain squalls and much harmless
lightning at night. Most sections will
have sufficient rains at this and other
June periods. Genital regions may
have too mnch, while extreme north
and south sections may suffer some
shortage. The last week in June is
covered by q combined Mercury and
Vulcan storm period. About the 25th
it will turn exceedingly warm, the
barometer will fall and persistent
cloudiness aud frequent storms of
wide extent and much energy will
mark the closing days of the month.
Make careful study of our June fore
casts.

! teristics, and resultant of each realm
are delineated with absolute fidelity.
The mind of the flesh is described as
/ inimical to GOd-not subject to him.
and consequently displeasing to him.
Death reigns in this realm. But it is
possible for every man to make his
exit from this sphere of the flesh into
the sphere of the Spirit, the charac-
| teristics of which are life and peace.
Here, according to Paul, the Divine
/ dwells in him, or he comes to consci-
BUSINESS of the Divine within and in
harmony with the same, and thus be-
come a son of God. This was an i'm
measurable advance upon the best
teachings of the best religions of an
tiquity. There was no mystery or OBJ
security in it. 1t simply affirmed that
the choice of the Divine, persistently
renewed, would ultimate in conform
ity to the Divine.
THE TEACHERS LANTERN
The planting of the gospel in Lon
don is a more important matter than
its planting in Dahomey; not however
of necessity because men are more
valuable in the former place than in
the latter. The reason is found in
the fact that the means of diffusing
the truth are more numerous in the
metropolis of the Anglo-Saxon race
The faith once established in London
would quickly speed its way on the
wings of commerce not to Dahomey
alone, but to every other province.
But the apostle reioiced with trem-
bling. Apostasy at Rome would be
correspondingly calamitous. 1t would
damage the cause of Christ in the
very ratio of its conspicuousness. 1t
was this that caused Paul to pray
without ceasing. His hearts desire
was that Christianity at this center
of the worlds thought and influence
might always be exemplified by the
pureSU possible type.
The eighth chapter of Romans put
into a human life is an irrefutable
argument for the Divinity of the re-
ligion of Jesus. Such incarnations
are known in biography and current
life. That is for many an end of all
controversy
So the defense of Christianity in the
ultimate analysis is not so much in
books as in lives. Each may be liv-
ing book, one that can not be shelved
away in the oblivion of a librarY-one
that keeps circulating and which men
read per force.
In the Epistle to the Romans, Paul
built pyramid, broader, loftier, more
enduring, than that of Cheops. Its
base rests on the tired stone, the sure
foundation laid it Zion-the sacrifice
and meditation of Jesus. Out of the
horrible pit, the mire and clay of hu-
man depravity so graphically delin-
Gated, Paul's pyramid rises in strong
strata. Justification, peace, access,
reconciliation, righteousness, are the
successive courses. Between these
blocks Of adamantine logic the blade
of an unfriendly criticism can not be
forced, so fifty are they framed togeth-
er. The capstone is put on with joy
in this chapter when the apostle cries
There is therefore now no condem-
nation

THE LIFE GIVING SPIRIT

/ THE LIFE GIVING SPIRIT
The very position of the Epistle to
the Romans among the books of the
New Testament is in itself significant
1t stands first of its kind. Rome" is
the talismanic name which greets the
eye after the historical portion closes.
That very circumstances signifies that
the Church bent on universal con-
quest recognizes the strategic posi-
ton of the city of the Caesars. What is
said to the mistress of the world is
said to the world
Paul gives frequent expression of
his desire to preach in Rome. At this
time in his missionary journeys he
was nearer to the city than ever be-
fore. But before he could realize his
hearts desire he had duty which he
felt he must perform toward his suffer-
ing fellow countrymen in Jerusalem.
He wished to bridge the chasm be-
tween Jew and Gentle in the Chris
tian Church by an offering from the
latter to the former. So as he can
not go Immediately to Rome he does
what he thinks to be the next best
thing. but which we form our point
of view can preceive to be even a bet
ter thing. He sits down and writes a
letter. He employs in this way the
interval in which he waits at Corinth
the reopening of navigation.
The letter is worthy its author,
worthy the city addressed, worthy
the them on which it dwells. 1t is
most catholic of Epistles. Though
addressed to Romans, it is all mems
epistle. 1t aft rms, defines, illustrates,
and applies the chief doctrines of
Christianity. 1t has been aptly called
the most complete composition of the
greatest apostles.
With the unerring fidelity of skill
ed physician, Paul in the opening of
the epistle diagnoses the moral NAL
ady of the race. He persistently de-
scribes every detail. The revolving
portraiture is still so faithful that the
heather tax the missionaries with
having written it themselves after
their arrival in the missionary field.
After having described the disease,
the apostle turns to hisMateria Medica
and shouts for joy, for he finds in it
the divine specific,which will certainly
save every one who will take it. He
puts no patent-right on the remedy.
On the contrary he feels it his duty to
give it to every class of suffering hui
III anity. The best heather thought
had egregiously failed to supply even
an alienation for human misery,
much less a cure. The system of the
philosophers could not save the people
who lived on the same street with him,
let alone the race. Paul as the con-
scious possessor of a specific of Divine
energy was eager to apply it on a
large scale at the center of empire and
in full view of humanity.
Some one has said that if the Holy
Scripture was a ring and the Epistle
to the Romans its precious stone,
chapter viii would be the sparkling
point of the jewel. Paul is an expert
in the use of antithesis, but in this
paragraph he surpasses himself. The
opposition of the sphere of flesh and
the sphere of spirit is drawn with con-
summate skill The nature, charac-
