PRYME's PHILOSOPHY.

In order to be popular, forget to
say good deal.
The way to make a man forget a
favor is to do him one.
Boomerangs and evil thoughts act
in similar fashion.
A big heart usually goes with big
body, but big mead rarely does.
Wisdom is always conceded to a
rich man until he loses his riches.
Do not emphasize your own virtues
by enlarging on the failings of others.
The most depressing humidity is
that caused by the tears of a woman.
A genius is a man who refuses to
believe in the impossibilities of other
people.
A safe way to judge a man is to as
certain just what friends he doesn't
make.
No marriage ceremony has ever been
gone through without a hitch-of
bride and groom.
Some men who take post graduate
course are, in the long run, glad to
become letter carriers.
The claims to wisdom of owls and
multitude of men rest upon their
looks, and nothing more.
The heartache of many a widow
has been tempered by the reflection
that she looks her best in black.
To get rid of a bore, ask him to re-
peat his longest and favorite story
twice. Even he cannot stand that.
A fool is generally a person who de-
tects your faults while you are in the
act of calling attention to his own.
The grievance of not a few women
against their husbands is that the lat
ter give them no ground for griev-
ances.
The success of an amateur gardener
often depends upon the number and
the appetites of his neighbours chick
ems.
Only smart man can conceal from
q woman the fact that he isn't as
smart as he would wish her to think
he is.

HOpi Songs.

These songs for different purposes are
different in character. They are all
definite in form, with forcefuI, graceful
or poetic words. The Katcina dance
songs consist of an introduction ON
vowel syllables, then the song itself.
also interspersed with vowel refrains.
and lastly sort of coda, again on
vowel syllables.
And the Hopis sing, Theirs is no
grooming over camp fire, no monot-
onous chanting, no nasal droning. The
men have fine, clear voices, and the
women sing softly with a "breatby"
tone, the quality of which sounds often
just little sharp in pitch. The gentle
lullabies, the pretty, graceful basket
songs of the women and the melodies
to which they grind their corn are as
different from the rugged, rhythmic
Katcina songs as are the cliffs of the
mesa from the blossoms in the fields be-
low.-Natalie Curtis, in Harper's.

FEARED A SEPARATION.
The Dear Little Lamb Was Afraid

Her father had read her the parable of the
sheep and the goats at the day OF judgment.

mother went as consider, relates Brooklyn

THE SELF-MADE MAN
Not Always n Finished Product, But
There Are Some Affections
He Escapes.

Now and then we encounter . natural
born ice-man, says Puck.
Some men always seem so very new, and
others so very parvenu.
The self-made man is often very good
sort-when he's finished.
He rarely has the govt, but he sometimes
suffers from over exertion of the egotism.
Somehow, the ears of the self-made man
often have the look of having been stolen
from a grab-bag.
The self-made man escaped one great Attic
ton He didn't have baccalaureate sermon
preached at him.
And, oh! if he could only remember that
there are always others just as insignlti-
can't as himself.
We occasionally see an architect of his
own fortune who seems to have mislaid the
blueprint when he was about halfway
through.

Butter as Quick Fuel.

The first instance of where butter has
been used for fuel that we have heard of
is reported from the Edgewood creamery
in Siskiyou county, California. A fire
broke out in the neighborhood of the
creamery that threatened the plant
which VISA only saved by hastily getting
up steam to operate the pump. This
was done by throwing so pounds of but

An Ice Cream IdyI.

Gentle reader, didst thou ever order one
plate of ice cream with two spoons? Honest

and there was only one girl in all the world,
and as full of freckles as the skin of brook
trout? Did you, now? Come, own up! Ii

only one in the village, and you were dread
fully angry when the lady who waited on
you smiled, as you thought. You would
have been glad to get along with one spoon
and take turns in licking, but you were too
bashful for that. Still, you used to share
ticks when you thought the smiling lady
was not looking, and love went with them,

THE greatest miracle is a trans
L formed life. The greatest testi-
mOny for Christ is the life redeemed
and sanctified. Instead of signing and
praying: Lord. Lord, where are the
greater works? Do something won
derful through me" we ought to rejoice
in a Christ powerful to save, and pray
that we might permit Him to so live in
our hearts and shine forth in our lives
as to win others to Him. Were we per-
mitted to perform miracles we might
draw the multitudes and impress them
with Our power, but it would not win
them for Christ. We may have the
presence of Jesus in our lives though
so as to win some soul for Christ. The
greatest thing in the world is not the
gift of tongues or prophecy, it is not the
understanding of all mysteries or the
possession of all knowledge, it is not
faith that could remove mountains, it
is not charity which would give all
earthly possessions to feed the poor, it
is not martyrdom in the name of Jesus,
but the greatest thing in the world is
love. And the greatest work in the
world is the fruit of that love, the win
ming of soul for Christ. It is not mir
acles which the world needs to-day to
draw it unto Christ, but it is the Christ
lifted up in the individual lives of Chris
tians so that the world may be drawn
unto Him. Then may we realize the
promise of Jesus of greater works.
Have you ever led soul to Christ? If
you have you have known in the joy of
that moment the greater works which
Christ is performing through you Let
us be content to live in the present Let
us like true soldiers of Jesus Christ live
and obey His orders implicit
ly, and permit Him to plan the cam
paign. He will make no mistakes, He
will not fail you, and you in your service
will be doing the greater works which
will shine as stars in your crown forever
and ever

5000 men beside women and children,
but Peter, through the Holy Spirit, is
able to feed 5000 men with the bread
of life and win them for Christ and
eternity. Greater works. Then fol-
low the days of mighty miracles which
far outnumbered those which Jesus
performed. The shadow of Peter fall
ling on the sick was potent through the
power of the Holy Spirit to heal. At
later day handkerchiefs which Paul
had blessed performed their works of
healing as the sick were led to put
faith in Jesus Christ. Greater works,
indeed! But we have not time to re-
view the whole glorious, marvellous,
triumphant history of the Gospel as
recorded in the ActS. Take and read
it for yourself. Consider the wide ex-
tension of the Gospel, the converts
won, the miracles performed, and you
will end by praising God because
Jesus promise of greater works had
it's literal and splendid fulfillment in
the days of the apostles and the early
church.
DUT what in our thought constitutes
II greater works? Do we consider
the miracles-the heating, the raising
of the dead, the feeding of the multi
tudes, the nets filed with fshes-as
the greatest fruits of Jesus ministry,
and must there be a larger realization
of such miracles in the service and
ministry of Jesus disciples to-day in
order that we may feel that Jesus
promise has been fulfilled? Is there
not tendency always to associate
with the thought of greater works the
healing of the sick, the giving sight to
the blind, the raising of the dead? So
often do we hear the mournful regret
expressed that the disciples to-day
have not the gift of healing so that the
preaching of the Gospel might be at
tended by mighty works of the Spirit
which would bear visible testimony
to the power of God. The greater
works" has come almost to be
synonym for miracles, as though God
dealing with the physical was greater
than God dealing with the spiritual. AS
rule 1 am inclined to believe that the
longing and unrest for another day of
miracles such as ushered in the birth
of the apostolic church is rather an
evidence of unbelief than of faith. 1t
is that old weakness of the natural
man which desires to see. Seeing
is believing" is the thought which I'M
consciously sways the heart. The heal
ing of the sick, the raising Of the dead,
what glorious and indisputable testi-
mony they would be to the world!
Thus we think and reason, and almost
believe that God is short-sighted and
careless in not pouring out His gift
of healing upon the church to-day.
Greater works, or in other words,
miracles.

Jesus message to NicOdemus, and the
miracle of the new birth was greater
work than that of physical healing, or
bringing to life again the dead body,
even though the latter were more
wonderful to the natural eye of man.
That Jesus forgave the sins of the man
up to health and strength is signif1-
cant. The greatest need of that man
was not a healed body for this life,
although his case was so pitiable and
his need so great, but it was a cleansed
and redeemed soul which would live
with God throughout the eternities. This
Jesus gave to him first. 1t was a
greater work. 1t is evident from
Jesus first words to the manson
be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven
thee"-that the man was troubled
more by his sin-sick soul than he was
by his disease-racked body. Jesus saw
deeper than the physical, and because
the man himself realized his greater
need, Jesus at once met that need and
gave forgiveness and salvation Then
came the healing as secondary
work, that We may know that the Son
of Man hath power on earth to forgive
sins" The miracles were proof of His
Divinity. The continuation of the
miracles through the early years of
the church was for the purpose of link
ing the Christ before the cross with
the risen and assembled Christ and es-
the Divinely- ordered way of
salvation. That which Jesus began to
do, His disciples continued to more
gloriOusly and fully do after He had
assembled and the Holy Spirit had
descended upon them. But a greater
work than the speaking with tongues
was the raising from the deafness in
sin to newness of life in Christ Jesus

IIOW may the promise of Jesus find
L its realization in and through us?
believe this promise is for the Chris
tian of to-day, for you and me. Greater
works, because Jesus is in Heaven di-
recting the greatest conflict of the ages
against sin, and because the Holy Spirit
is present in the world and the command
to the believer is "'be filled with the
Spirit All the rich, full and wonderful
promises of the New Testament are for
us and are to be fulfilled in us. Greater
works, but perhaps not duplication of
the works of the early church, except in
the winning of souls to Christ. What
is there in connection with this text
which troubles the Christian, and makes
him question whether it's promise may
be realized in him? Is it not because
the thought has been centered upon the
material rather than the spiritual? Is
it not because the Christian has come
to eXalt the power of God upon the
physical above the power of God upon
the dead and sin-blackened soul? Jesus
declared to those who were seeking for
a sign that no sign should be given them.
And the Christians to-day who are seek
ing for sign in the miraculous as tes-
timony to the world when no such tes-
timony is needed will be disappointed.
