KEEPING FIT.
Duty of Holding Oneself in That
Condition in Which He Can
Do His Best Work.

Any one does his best work and does
1t most easily when he is physically fit
for it. 1t therefore follows, says Well
spring, that he should keep himself fit
for it, so far as he knows how; and
there are very few who do not know
that over-rich food and eating, stay
ing up late of nights, indulging in
sweets, and smoking and drinking are
sure in a measure to unfit one for tax
ing duties. Young people may be sure
that they will need all their physical
resources to meet the demands that
will be made upon them. Some are so
full of vitality that they are as
careless of their health as some foolish
people are with their m~oney-scatter-
ing right and left that which would be
their stay later on. The editor does
not think that one should always be
anxiously concerned over each little
symptom he may have; he only sug-
gests that one should not knowingly
transgress the plain rules of right liv-
ing. When n is in good condition 1t
is easy t. keep So; it is hard to recov-
er health when it has been lost. To en-
joy life, work hard, be abstemious in
mere pleasure eating, avoid dissipation,
play vigorously when you can without
sighting your obligations.
There is such a thing, to-, as keep
ing morally fit for what one has to do.
There are certain things which one
cannot do without a spiritual letting
down. The soul needs communion with
God just az much as a plant needs SUM-
shine. Anything which interrupts that
communion should be promptly put
aside, if you would be equal to the eth
ical emergencies which you will have
to meet. Here is n who readily yields
to temptation. Why? Because he was
not in a spirit to resist it. If a great
temptation should come to you, are
you sure that it would not overcome
you? You may ave yourself from aw-
full shame and disgrace by becoming
morally fit to cope with life's daily
problems, and then keeping SO.

AN EVENING

Softly. as when a mothers hand
Tucks In her little ones at night.
The darkness folds the drowsy land,
And fades and fades the lingering light.
On velvet slope and glimmering fell
The tender shadows rest like love,
And wheresoe'er Gods children dwell
His peace Is shed their lives above.
Gods children! Bird upon the Dough,
And lambkin lying on the hill,
AND wild goat on the mountains brow,
And eagle where the great winds thrill,
And all the Maynard, wandering ones,
The tribes of men, or near, or far;
God keeps the whole, meath starsor suns
Where life Is found Gods children are.
II precious be the rocking nest
And guard He hath for hidden lair,
Are We not yet more truly blest,
And closer in His sleepless care?
SO may we shut our eyes and sleep;
so may we have no tryst with fear;
The dear Christ stoops our souls to keep,
AS Christ's own life, our souls are dear.
Lo! through the dusk I seem to see
The lifting of IN awesone cross,
Where once lie 1ung FIR you and me
His ransom paying for our dross.
Lo! through the dusk l hear the song
That never ceases where they stand
The countless, glorious white-robed throng
Who praise Him in lmmanuePs land.

THE WORK OF men Who DARE
Heroic Action of Lieut.. Curtin and
Several United States Seamen.
they Fought "A Fire On Board the
Torpedo BOat Destroyer Law.
renee and Conquered.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 13.-The heroism
of Lieut.. Roland 1. Curtain and several
seamen on board the torpedo boat de.
stroyer Lawrence, Thursday, saved thai
craft from destruction. A lighted can
die left by a workman on a wooden box
in the vessels forward compartment
caused a fire, which burned much OF
the L~awrence's wood work before Il
was extinguished by Lieut.. Curtin and
some seamen just before the flames
reached the magazine, in which 9
quantity of explosive was stored. In
their battle against the flames, Lieut.
Curtin and his men were SO overcome
by the smoke that they lost conscious
ness after the fight was won, and were
hurried on board the cruiser Olympic
for treatment. Their condition is no
serious.
The fire occurred in a stuffy compart-
ment directly adjoining the magazine
and had gained considerable Roadway
when it was discovered. The place was
filled with a dense smoke that baffed
the efforts of the crew and caused them
to fall helpless to the steel floor. Time
and again Lieut.. Curtin dived into the
fire chamber, and emerged with the
unconscious form of a seaman in his
grasp. After a hurried resuscitation
the seaman and his officer would &c
back to the fight, only to succumb again
to the smoke. Finally the flames were
extinguished, and the lieutenant was
missed. A sailor plunged into the CON-
partment, and a second later came out
with the limp body of the officer in his
arms. Five seamen, in a similar con-
dition, were stretched out on the deck.
AL were hurried on board the Olympia,
in dry dock, and the surgeon soon
brought them to consciousness.
The damage to the Lawrence was
trifling.

WILL ACCEPT THE TERMS.
Turkey Will Accept the Terms Laid
Down In the Last Russo
Austrian Note.

Constantinople, Nov. 13.-Tewfk Pa
sha, the foreign minister, called on
the Austrian and Russian ambassadors,
Thursday, and notified them that the
porte's reply to the latest note of the
two powers on the subject of reforms
in Macedonia would speedily be pre-
scented, and that it would be satisfac-
tory. This is in accordance with the
views of the grand vizier, who opposed
the previous rejection of the reform
scheme, and consequently was threat
ened with the deprivation of his Office.
His position now is secure.

THE WORD OF GOD.
Why the Bible Speaks with Authority
IL the Christian Heart-A
Reasonable Faith.

Charles Darwin, being asked, in his
latter days, whether science supported
the Christians faith in the beingof God,
replied that science presented probable
tiles both for and against it, and that the
deciding vote" had to be given by each
individual, according to his personal
makeup. Neither the being of God nor
the inspiration of Scripture, says the
Chicago Interior, can be prove as one
proves a problem in geometry. Moral
ratiocination starts not with axioms,
but with p~ostulates; not with premises
which it is impossible to deny, but with
assumptions which men of exemplary
life are bound to accept. What it is i'm
possible to prove to a %scoundrel, it is I'M
necessary to prove to a saint. The nor
NAL soul has it's perceptions as truly as
the normal body. You do not need it to
demonstrate the beauty of the rainbow
to the unclouded eye, or the obligations
Of virtue to the Heavenly mind.
To the Christian the Word is a living
presence, from which he cannot escape.
1t speaks to him with a voice exceeding
In authority that of any earthly state or
sovereign. 1t restraints his passions,
curbs his appetites, moderates his con-
duct, forbids in~dulgences, and proffers
satisfactions which are most real and
most vital experiences. He may not be
able wen to define inspiration, but he re-
spends to it. He is not expert in ques-
tons of c~anonicity, but he knows the
flower by its honey. What he is, the
Bible has made him. 1t found him in
"the slippery paths of youth pursuing
pleasure, as Addison says, with heed
less feet" and it arrested him, turned
him about, and brought him up to
man"
He believes in the Word Of God, more
over, because men he abhors do not be-
lieve in it. He knows it to be the Word
OF God, because the minions of the pit
hate it. He gives it the place of honor
in his home because it is kicked out of
the saloon; he sends it forth with his
blessing because the gambler curses it;
he pillows his dying head upon it's prom
ises because in every age every son of
Belial has FASTENED to consign it to the
flames. Against a faith so founded
waves OF adverse criticism beat in vain.
The Word of God rests not upon tradi-
ton, but upon u hearts.

PRUSSIAN DIET ELECTIONS.
Among the Electors ChOsen TO Sc
lect Deputies Appear Numer-
Gus fractional Groups.

Berlin, Nov. 13.-The returns from
230 districts show that the elections
Thursday of the electors who are to
choose deputies to the lower house of
the Prussian diet resulted as follows:
Conservatives, 1903; free conservatives,
SO; clericals, rs; national liberals, 60;
Richter radicals, 20; Barth radicals, 6;
Poles, Z; Independents, 6; Danes, 2.
The socialists have lot secured an
elector, but they hold the balance of
power at Breslau, where they will COM
pei the conservatives or liberals to
elect one socialist in return for social
list votes.
The Barth radicals apparently lose
Dantzic, one Of that party's strong
holds, to the conservative and clerical
alliance.

CORDITE JAG THE LATEST.
British Soldiers Discovered 1t in Al.
RIGA Results of Experiments
with New InaOxicant.

During the South African campaign
the British soldiers discovered a new
and extraordinary form of intoxication.
The ingenious privates found that
they could get all the excitement of a
powerful narcotic by eating a cordite
charge of cartridges, each of which con-
tains 60 strands of cordite and is very
similar in appearance to vermicelli.
The British Medical Journal gives
particulars Of this form of intoxication.
1t says that Maj. Jennings, on learning
that the men had been eating cordite.
made experiments himself.
On sucking a strand he found it sweet.
pleasant and pungent, but it resulted in
a headache which lasted for SO hours.
Dissolved in tea, it produces almost
immediate exhilaration, "inciting al
most demoniacal actions" followed by
a heavy sleep and stupor of from five to
twelve hours, according to quantity
taken.
Added to beer, it produces the worst
effects, exciting a quarrelsome and de-
structive mania and producing the most
rapid intoxication.
