Topic For the Week Beginning July
20, ''The Gospel In the Islands,"
Text, lisa. XII, 4.
"The isles snail wait for His law

"The isles shall wait for His law
In the prophecy of Isaiah the men
ton of the islands is frequent in con-
nection with the hope for the extension
Of the kingdom of Jehovah. At that
time Cyprus was of Importance, as 1t
always was, in the commerce of the
east with the lands around the Medi-
terranean sea. The Hebrews were
never a seafaring people The only
maritime ventures they made were in
the times of Solomon and Hezekiah,
and the results never encouraged
repetition Of the experiments. So for
a Hebrew prophet to predict the &C
ceptance of Jehovah's law by the com
mercial populations of the islands was
a vast stretch Of Imagination and took
hold Of the far future. 1t would in
volve vast changes In conditions then
existing In all departments of life.
1t is singularly significant that the
first real missionary enterprise of the
early Christian church was to the is
land Of Cyprus Perhaps the very
name Of Paul was due to his tour of
ILLS lCldA0 WILL I1Gl 1ttDdo anu I4AC W.
version Of Sergius Paulus. The part
which the islands have had in the
evangelizatton of the world has not
been small. What Cyprus was to the
ancient world Britain and Ireland have
been to the later ages.
The time was when Christian educa-
ton was kept alive in the world more
largely by the influence of the institu-
lions of Ireland than by all other in
f1uences combined. For ages Britain
has been the home of Christian culture
and the center of evangelizing forces
which have reached to the ends of the
earth. When the history of mission
airy effort is written the islands will
hold large place in the thrilling recital.
In modern times the story of the con-
version Of the south sea islands is
thrilling beyond romance. The work
of the present day is pressing, but
should not be allowed to prevent the
study of the story of the Christianizing
Of Hawaii from New England, of Ton
ga and Feejee and a score Of other
groups by the Wesleyan Methodists of
England. The dawn of the day in
Japan has come Since Commodore
Perry in 1854 opened Japan to the
western world her advance in religious
life has been second only in interest to
her vast strides in political reforma
ton.
The Philippines are now open to the
gospel of Jesus, and the vast CONT
mental island of Borneo has just been
entered Our own Bishop Warne of
India has planted Methodism in that
almost unknown land.
Impressive as is the tale Of China.
India. Africa and the continents in
their turning to Christ, the story of the
islands is not less instructive and
cheering.

As nm Example.

His prayers should serve rs as ex-
amples by reason of the absolute assur-
ance Of Gods interest in us and tender
concern for us on which they are
based. He went to His Father in
that childlike, trustful spirit which He
has hidden us cherish. And the under
lying mood was always that which
came TO the surface in that terrible
hour Of anguish in Gethsemane,
Nevertheless, not My will but Thine
be done" 1t is noticeable how con-
spicuous in them was thanksgiving.
True gratitude to God or man seeks
expression. Their unselAshness also
strikes us Jesus did not think first
and chiefly of Himself and of what
He wished or did not wish He loved
to pray for others and His prayers
for them reveal His longing for their
highest, hottest welfare--Co ngrega-
uonalist.

His Gfftn.

Bounteous Is Jehovah in his nature;
TO give is Ills delight His gifts are
beyond measure precious and are as
freely given as the light Of the sun.
He gives grace to His elect because He
wills it, to His redeemed because Of
His covenant to the called because Of
His promise, to believers because they
seek 1t, to sinners because they need It
He gives grace abundanAy, seasonably,
constantly, readily, sovereignty; dou-
bly, enhancing the value of the boon
by the manner of its bestowal. Read
err, how blessed it is, as the years roll
round and the leaves begin again to
fall, to enjoy such an unfad1ng promise
as this: 1.-The Lord will give graceY'-

But sometimes the answer is dec
iination, wise refusal to give what
we ask, He may not remove the thorn
from the flesh. He may not restore us
to health, but grant us the greater gift
Of faith and patience and the power to
obey Hts will without murmur. This
is the better answer He does not al
ways make a show Of us openly by
crowntng us with marked favors, so

HOPATCONG LAKE NOTES.

The Morristown campers in Castle
Rock Park, above Nolan's Point, APP
pear to be enjoying themselves. When
it rains they stay within their canvas
houses. When it shines they go on the
lake and acquire healthy coating of
tan. Their stomachS are not overbur-
dened with fish diet just now-they
live on imagination, hope and ordinary
victuals. Camp "Shady Nook " is oc-
cupied by II. M. Sands and family
Camp Lookout" is the annual sum-
mer home of F. w. Jaqui and family !;
j. Fred Runyon's camp has not been
christened- at least he has not yet
flung his banner to the breeze. These
camps are enlivened weekly by visitors
from Morristown.
In the same territory Captain Frank
Long, of the Black Line boat " Bry-
ant and bookkeeper for the line, has
set up his summer home, " Rockside
Inn" With him are his mother and
sister, Mrs Henry, and her son Frank,
of Newark. Captain Long is supervisor
of manual training in the Bloomfield
public schools.
1.-THE Rocks" is the name given to
the rustic villa built by Elias Van
Fleet, A. p. Sutphen and w. r. SUIT
phen, all of Someryille. They and
their families find pleasure in visits
from friends resident in that town.
Camp Six a relay camp for Pat
ersonians, is kept filed about all the
time Last weeks quota from that
city comprised sixteen.
Ex-senator L. A. Thompson, of Som
erville, celebrated his tifty-eighth
birthday at his cottage, Rockledge, !"
on Sunday. He came to the lake some
ten years ago, and becoming enamored
of the slightly location just above No
lans Point, purchased the land and
erected handsome cottage thereon
His son-in-law, Charles Roberts, and
Mrs. Roberts, of Basking Ridge, an
other daughter, Mrs. Decker, and II.
Il. Stryker, of Someryille, assisted him
in his birthday celebration.
Miss Jennie Gordon, of 1879 North
Third street, Newark, and her cousin,
Miss Maggie Macintosh, OF Olyphant,
Pa, were guests Of their uncle, Cap
tain William Gordon, superintendent
of the " Rockledge manor, for a week
or more, going to Newark last week,
where Miss Macintosh intended stay
ing until tomorrow. Miss Gordon is a
daughter of Captain Jack Gordon
of the Black Line boat, Mystic

Woodruff and Emmett Woodruff, Of
Dover, broke camp near Galatians last
Saturday and returned home. Being
members of the Triakas Club OF that
town, they adopted the club name for
their camp.
Saturdays rain put temporary qul-
etus on the catboat regatta announced
to start from the Llewellyn House
dock. This is the third time this year
the attempt has failed owing to the
weather. Another effort will be made
tomorrow. The same luck attended
these races last year.

From The London Daily Express.
Baron Won Rlanitz, the author of the book
THE Confessions of the Princess Louise Is an
eccentric individual whose foible is the writing
Of works dealing with the secrets OF royal
houses.
He lives high up under the roof of plebeian
tenement house in an questionable quarter of
Berlin. There is an air of dark mystery about
his apartment, which is stacked with books of
his own making, and is guarded by sinister look
ing servants. for the baron fears chastisement at
the hands Of personages who may resent his
works.
His books, which are sold at IS. each by his
servants, treat Of scandals in connection with
nearly all the ruling houses of Europe. He was
the first to publish the version of the Crown
Prince Rudolph of Austria's DEATH which is GEN
orally considered authentic.
The same cannot be said of everything he has
written. The eX-Crown Princess of SaXony has
it need hardly be recalled, repudiated his state
ments regarding herself. declaring that she had
never given him information OF any sort.
While every will consider this sufficient
refutation of the baron's allegations, he reter-
ates that the conversations given in his book as
taking place with the princess authentic
He says he intends to publish reply to the
princess's Reputation shortly
Baron Won PlanitZ belongs to an old noble
family cousin of his formerly Secretary
OF State in SaXony, and two other near relatives
hold high rank in the Prussan Army. He also
married into exclusive and aristocratic
family.

Sir Gilbert Parker and his young collaboration
apparently appreciate the fact that in their
monograph on the Gibraltar of North Amer
lea" they are retelling a tale oft-told. but plead
in extenuation that about the walled city of
Quebec cling more vivid and enduring memo
ries than belong to any other city of the mod
ern world" In sense. indeed, they may lay
claim 10 originality. for they have pieced to-
gether. out OF the writings OF those who. like
Francis Parkman, treat of Quebec as part Of a
greater whole. a succinct and comprehensive
narration OF the history and development Of the
ancient city from the day that Champlain drove
the first historic stake in the ground. With this
il is inevitable that they should, like Parknan,
follow the wandering steps Of the great figures
Of Quebec, Champlain himself Pere Brebeuf and
his intrepid comrades; La Sale and Tonty, in
