ARTIFICIAL COAL OIL.
A French Chemist Says He Can Pro-
duce Artificial Petroleum for
One Cent a Gallon.

Gorgenstern came to this country two
weeks ago with a box of chemicals, by
means of which, he says, he can make
many barrels of artificial petroleum
at a cent a gallon.
''The new fuid,' says Mr.. Morgen-
stern, twill burn with five times the
light of ordinary kerosene, and it will
not explode under any circumstances.
1t has no flash test, because it will
not flash at any temperature. 1t is
not adapted for use in motor cars, be-
cause it gives forth no explosive va
por, but at the same time for heat
ing and lighting it is all that could be
desired.
"Once the world knows the value of
my invention" he said, "the petrole-
um business viii be revolutionized."

IATHAT are the terms of accept
wv ance with God? Surely it is
not a fiuctuating condition which
God places upon man, by which the
Abels are accepted and the Gains re-
iected. In the question which God
asks He reveals the terms upon which
He is able and willing to accept man
and his offering. Well doing is what
God demands. Absolute perfection
(for that is what 'well doing" means
when tested and estimated by Cod,
absolute perfection is what God re-
quires before man can be accepted
by Him. God has but one stand
ard, and if man cannot measure up
to that standard he cannot hope to
see God or be accepted of Him. Gods
solemn command is: BE We holy,
for [ am holy" Did Abel measure up
to this standard, and Cain fall short
of it? Scripture does not say or
imply that up to the time of this in
oident Abel was any better boy than
was Cain. They were undoubtedly,
both model young men. They both
observed their outward religious OBJ
legations, as is attested by their Of
ferings to the Lord. But the time of
testing came when they brought
their offerings. There was an ele-
ment in AbeFs offering which made
it acceptable to God, because it me-
Gods requirement. by faith, Abel
offered unto God a more excellent
sacrifice than CAIN 1t was faith
which transformed the offering. 1t
was faith which bore it aloft to
the very presence of God. Gains Of
fering was not made in faith, but
was the natural expression of the
natural man. 1t is the plain declara-
ton of Gods Word that whatsoever
is not of faith is SIM and because
faith was lacking in Gains offering
God declares that sin lay at his
door. And again Gods Word says:
without faith it is impossible to
please Him.
EFT us now consider these two
- facts in their relation one to
the other and see how beautifully
they fit together. There is Gods re-
quirement of perfect righteousness
before man can be accepted of Him,
and then there is faith which bridges
the chasm which separates the nat
ural man from God and which claims
as its own the righteousness which
is in Christ Jesus. That which it is
impossible for man to gain by his
own merit. he may obtain through
the medium of faith. Cain, trusting

IN the first place the question which
l God asked of Cain is one which
He has been asking of man ever since.
eff thou doest well, shalt thou not
be accepted?" The human heart
yields ready assent to this question,
if it is granted the privilege of
Judging its own motives and con-
duct, but to this the Lord of all
the heaven and the earth will not
and cannot consent. He who search
eth the heart and knoweth the hid
den thoughts (and, by the way, did
it ever occur to you that that term
hidden thoughts" does not imply
alone those conscious thoughts which
you withhold from others and cher
ish in your Utmost heart, but in
clude many thoughts of which the
heart is not really conscious. God
tells us that 1.-The heart is deceitful
above all things, and desperately
wicked. Who can know it?" and no
man knows the lurking enemies
which invade the natural hearth;
and He Who searcheth the heart
and knoweth the hidden thoughts
IS the One Who must decide. To Cain
and his offering God had not respect.
1t was great surprise to Cain. 1t
came as a terrible shock to the hith-
ertO cOmplacent view which he had
taken of himself and of his attitude
towards God. Gods question should
have set Cain to thinking. Instead
of rebelling against Gods estimate
of his offering, and arguing with his
brother to prove its worth and ac-
ceptability, he should have sought
to discover wherein the offering of
Abel was acceptable to God while his
was not.

Death From Honey Bee Bite.

Willie Hawkins, the 3-year-old son
of n. J. Hawkins, a farmer residing
in Knox county, met an unusual
death last week as a result of a bite
from a honey bee. Cases on record
of deaths from the singing of bees
are quite numerous, but a death from
a single bite is extremely unusual.
The strawberry growers around
Humboldt are experiencing a new
trouble just now. The crop has been
larger this season than for several
years past and the big box factory of

and was caused by the strike on the

down which line the company gets
the most of its timber. Every effort
is being made by the company to get
timber and it is thought that they
will be able to supply the demand.

The Offerings Of Cain and Abel
Copyright, 1908, by J. N. Edson.)
What They Teach Us of the Way OF
Acceptance With God.

enters into unhOly strife with evil,
and righteous Abel did not provoke
his brother that day. No angry word
of rebuke or condemnation passed
his lips. If there had, Cain would
not have felt so bitter and trans
ferred his quarrel with God to the
person of his brother. But God had.
laid the charge of sin at his door
and he was not willing to recognize
it. He wanted to talk about the ex-
cellent qualities of the fruit he had
brought. He wanted to talk of his
abilities as a farmer, and his faith
fulness and steadfast habits. And
there has been a long line of the de-
scendants of Cain, which reaches to
the present day; people who recog-
nize their obligation to God and who
bring their offerings, but who fail
to realize the way of approach to
God and the secret of acceptance
with Him. They love to dwell on the
eXcellencies of that which they have
given; they compare their outward
lives with the lives of those who have
been accepted of God through the
sacrifice of the Lamb, Christ Jesus,
but they fail to answer the direct
question of God or reply to the
charge which He brings against
them. eff thou dOest well. shalt thou
not be accepted?" and thou hast not
done well, because "sin lieth at the
door" Let us consider this question
and this charge of the Lord against
Cain.
