known for his steel pens. -
Oct II, 1776-Naval battle on Lake
Champlain between Benedict Arnold
and Gen. Carleton, of Canada. Arnold
stationed his vessels at first where
they could be easily surrounded by the
British fleet, and so put the enemyaon
the offensive. The fight was despe-
rate for the afternoon, and Arnold's
force was greatly injured. In the night
he silently ran his vessels through the
line of the enemy's ships and sailed up
the lake. In the morning the pursuit
began, and Arnold was overtaken. Most
of his vessels were destroyed Ly rum
ming ashore Arnold and his own crew,
however, fought as long as there was.
a show of resistance, then ran their
vessels ashore, and, escaping to land,
marched off in triumph. THIS was the
first naval battle of the revolution.
Arnold had eleven small vessels and
440 men. The vessels were built by or
der of congress, the workmen getting
$3.50 month, and a ration and half
of food, with half pint of rum day.
The English fleet was commanded by
Capt. Pringle. and lost fifty men. Ar.
nold's loss was ninety men.
Oct II, 179S.-Pedro de Alcantara.

Oct. IL. 1492.-America discovered.
Land was first seen by Columbus after
thirty-six. days of voyage from Spain
1t is simply impossible to say which of,
the thousand or more islands extending
from the coast of Florida to Hayti,, as
if forming breakwater for Cuba, that
Columbus saw and made his first stoIl
at. Opinions greatly vary. San Saliva
dor, or Cat island, Grand Turk island
and Walling's island each have earnest
advocates. A sailor by the name Of
Rodrigo de Triana, on the Pinta. was
the first to see land and he aroused
his associates in the early morning
and the news spread to the other ves--
sells. With the coming of clear day
light an island was in plain view. The

during famine of seven years dura-
ton. His life teaches many things:
1. 1t teaches us trust in God. In all
his years of adversely Joseph must
have kept his trust in God firm and Sc
cure. His life must have seemed a
hard one at times, his future must have
looked dark and foreboding, yet God
watched over him. All have their ad-
versities. No pathway in life is strewn
alone with flowers. Let us learn from
Joseph to trust God along the rough
ways.
2. 1t teaches lesson in purity. His act
in resisting the advances of the wife of
Potiphar, even at the risk of his life,
demonstrates the purity of his heart
and life. This lesson needs to be inn
pressed upon us today. Impurity in
thought, word and deed abounds all
about US in life, and many people make
no effort to restrain their passions and
appetites. Let us follow the example Of
Joseph, remembering the words of the
Master Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God.''
3. 1t teaches a lesson in forgiveness.
lis forgiveness of his brethren stands
as one of the most conspicuous illus
trations of Old Testament forgiveness.
1t bears a likeness to the spirit of the
Master when He prayed, Father, for
give them; they know not what they
do" 1t is hard to forgive sometimes,
but we should forgive one another,
"even as God for Christ's sake has for
given u.s.
4. 1t teaches lesson in Gods provi-
dence. 1T was not you. but God, who
sent me to Egypt" said Joseph to his
repentant brethren. God was working
out his plans in the life of Joseph. So
he is in all our lives. He moves in a
mysterious way His wonders to per-
form, but He moves and performs His
will. Our lives are in His hands. Let
US rejoice over that fact and then strive
more and more to come into complete
harmony with His will.

WHAT JOSEPH TEACHES US.


The Christian Endeavor topic is
continuation of the work of the great
men of the Bible. 1t is found in Genesis,
xii, 14-16, AZ, 46.
The life of Joseph reads almost like
a romance. 1t is one of the lives that
illustrate that truth is stranger than
fiction. The favorite son of his father,
he was treated with unusual considera-
ton. The jealousy and envy of his
eleven brethren were aroused, and after
a determination to take his life they
did sell him as a servant to merchants
travelling to Egypt. Here he started in
a lowly position. and was even subject
ed to a false charge and to a false i'm
prisonment. But wonderful to tell, he
was, in the marvellous providence Of
God, raised from the prison to the pail
ace. He became second only to the
king, and saved both Egypt and his
people, the Israelites, from starvation

1 had stood on that bridge at midnight
And gazed on that wave and sky!
How often, OH how often,
l had wished that the ebbing tide
Would bear me away on its bosom,
Ger the ocean wild and widei
For my heart was hot and restless,
And my life was full of care;
And the burden laid upon me
Seemed greater than 1 could bear;
But now it has fallen from me
1t is buried in the sea,
And only the sorrow of others
Throws its shadow over me;
Yet whenever I cross the river,
On its bridge with wooden piers,
Like the odor of brine from the ocean
Come the thoughts of other years;
And for ever and for ever,
AS long as the river flows,
AS long as the heart has passions,
AS long as life has woes,
The moon and its broken reflection,
And it's shadwos shall appear
AS the Symbol of love in heaven,
And its wavering image here.

Columbus spent several months cruis-

PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST.

The Epworth league topic for Oct.
IL is found in Matthew, vi, 24-34.
What one would best do when the
house is on fire depends on circum-
stances. 1t is all right to try to save
the goods if there is time. Considera-
bic risk of pain and injury may we'll be
run If there is a reasonable chance to
save valuables. But many have lost
their lives in trying to save things.
Deeds and diamonds have value but
not to the dead. One is unwise to try
to save an empty jewel case and leave
untouched gems of great value. In the
excitement of the time many have done
such things. Better let the clothes burn
rather than the body. 1t is not un-
common to see notice of fire in a hotel
and the statement that the guests were
obliged to escape in their night cloth
ing, losing all else in the fire.
The matter of first Importance is life,
after that goods and then comfort
No ones life consists in the abund-
ance of things he possesses. 1t is more
than health; it is higher than reputa-
tion and honors
The value of life lies almost wholly
in the unseen inner things of spirit. A
wounded spirit is worse than a broken
arm. Heartache is the hardest pain to
bear. A joyous heart will make a per-
son unmindful of cuts or bruises on the
body. A resolute spirit often makes a
weak body live for years beyond its
natural limit. What a lesson to the
world of worrying mortals was the
life of Pope Leo XIII! Indomitable
will and concentrated purpose COM
PEELED frail bodily frame to bear for
long years beyond the ordinary limit
of physical endurance tasks under
which a stronger one might bend or
break if not sustained by such powers
of spirit
The comforts and luxuries of the
world, the pleasures of bodily exist
ence, are valuable just in so far, and
so far only, as they help the inner
spirit to come to its best attainments.
Purity, righteousness, peace, have no
equivalents. If not obtained no other
gain will make up for the lack. If lost
no other thing saved can fill their
place. Fire and flood may strip us of
every other thing and leave us desti-
tute of nay lands or goods, may even
take friends and health, but if through
all we still keep a soul united in faith
and love to God We have saved~that of
most value and shall find ali the rest
in due time.

Count DAYS. Count Acts.

If l could sit down at set of sun,
And count the acts that you have done;
And counting find
One self-denying act, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard;
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went,
Then you may count that day well spent.
But if through all the livelong day
You've cheered no heart by yea or nay;
If through it all
You've nothing done that you can trace,
That brought the sunshine to one face;
No act most small
That helped some soul, and nothing cost
Then count that day as worse than lost.
Julia J. Eggleston.

Beware.

Beware.
o, friend, when doubts assail thy mind,
When dark the way before
Remember to be doubly kind
To those of lesser store.
If they believe, whate'er it be,
Try not to prove it wrong,
Think how their love has made them free,
Their faith has made them strongi
And thinking thus how others fare,
Upheld by simple creeds,
OF thine own unbelief beware
Lest it shall curb thy deeds.
For better tbs to wish life well,
To help each brother man,
Than to dispute Ger heaven or hell,
Or frame better plan.
We do not know we cannot tell,
The way that lies ahead,
Not one who knows futurity,
Not one by wisdom led,
The humblest faith may far outreach
Proud reasons highest CALL
And in its gentle service teach,
To love is best of all
Charles w. Stevenson.
We often do more good by our sym
pathy than by our labors. and render to
the world a more lasting service by abb
Sence of jealousy and recognition of merit
than We could ever render by the strain
ing effort of personal ambition.-Dean

Wonder if it's so;

In order to be gay,
Has a rule she follows
Every single day"

It's an easy way:
Do some good to someone else,
And you'll be glad all day.

Be Strong to Hope.

Be strong to hope, o heart of mine!
Look not on life's dark side,
For Just beyond these gloomy hours
Rich, radiant days abide.
Let hope, like summers rainbow bright,
Scatter thy falling tears,
And let Gods precious promises
Dispel thy anxious fears.
For every grief Lethe comes,
For every toll a rest.
So hope, SO love, SO patient bear,
God doeth all things best.
