Into the chaos of nebular night
Which none but the Father eer saw
Sod sent the beams of His marvellous
light
And this is the ray of Law.
Into the mystery shrouding the world,
Since the days of it's pristine youth,
God sent the beams of His marvellous
light
And this is the ray of Truth
Into the prison of deathless despair,
Where man in his misery doth grope.
God sent the beams Of His marvellous
light
And this is the ray Of Hope.
Into the soul cursed with doubt and de-
ceit, ...
Till of Gods ideal but the wrath,
God sent the beams of His marvellous
light
And this is the ray of Faith.
Into the presence of sorrow and sin,
Revealed by the Son from above,
God sent the beams of His marvellous
light
And this is the ray Of Love.
Into the shadow of spiritual death,
Where still evil and wrong are rife,
God sent the beams Of His marvellous
light
And this is the ray of Life.
Into the tumut of conflict and toll,
From fear and from pain to release,
God sent the beams of His marvellous
light
And this is the ray of Peace.
And still through the prism Of matter and
mind,
This Light in our darkness doth shine
With rays that heal and rays that re-
veal

young apprentice picked Up the chips

for the cathedral. Bringing those
chips together so as to repeat the
face of a Iustrous angel who had APP
peared to him in vision of the

fragments one of the priceless gems
of art. And if thy duties seem hum
BILE, thy hours fragments, thy tasks

EOr instance, young men who reach
certain standards of education are
granted diminution of their service to
one, two, three, or four years, accord
ing to their degree of service. 1t is from
this class that the majority of reserve
officers are obtained.
CoSSacks serve under special regula-
tons. Service with them begins on
the completion of the eighteenth year,
and lasts 20 years, of which seven are
spent actually serving. These rules do
apply, however, to the Ural Cossacks,
who are volunteers, although they must,
however, serve actually once a year.
Since the days when the allied armies
entered Paris no part of the Russian
army has taken such a hold on the pop
ular Imagination as the Cossack cav
airy.
Like the French Zouave and the Prus-
sian Uhlan, the Cossack has acquired
a certain air Of romance, and lives in
story far more than his less known COM
rades. The Cossacks make excellent
fighting material, and furnish the best
scouts in the Russian army. On active
service the Cossacks are the eye and
soul of the army. Like pointer, they
seem to smell the enemy when no one
else seems to think of his existence.
Neither Cossack nor his horse appears
to know what fatigue is, and man and
beast seem never to want to sleep. The
CoSsack finds his way everywhere. If
esfcommander wishes to send an order to
a distant column whose exact position
he cannot quite locate, he employs a
Cossack, who is bound to find way of
delivering the message. Cossacks are
splendid hands at guerrilla warfare and
give an enemy no rest,
In peace the Cossack regiments num-
Der 52-44 of six squadrons each and
eight of four squadrons. There are be-
sides p independent squadrons. But
in war times these figures are consider
ably increased, there being then 1870

squadrons, and So Independent squad

number of regiments. With regard to
the armament of the Cossack regiments,
it is curious to note that the sword
which they use has no guard. The men
are armed with rifles which take the
same ammunition as the infantry rifles,
but have no bayonet. Front ranks
carry lance nine feet long, but, unlike
Our troops, they carry no pennon on
their lances. The Kuban Cossack cav
airy have no lances.
The Russian infantry consists of 209
regiments, each of four battalions of
four companies and of a noncombatant
company-17 companies in all. Of these
zoe foot regiments, L are regiments of
the guard, 16 are Grenadier regiments.
and 181 are foot regiments of the line.

The Russian army of to-day, as at
years old. 1t was called into existence
by the imperial ukase of January Is,
1874, by which the whole male popula-
ton of the empire, with the exception of
certain outlying districts, is liable,
without distinction of rank or class,
to military service from the beginning
of the twenty-frst year to the end of
the fOrty-third year-Of which time the
first Is years are passed in the stand
ing army, and the remainder in the
opolchene or militia.
Service with the colors last four years
(Which may be extended to five), and
with the reserve IL years, during the
latter of which a man is liable to two
trainings of six weeks each. In any
given year about 100000 are liable to
service.
The law admits of many exceptions,
and Of the 1000 who should join the
forces, not more than half actually join.

BUILDING WITHOUT WAX.
We May Cover Up for Time, Defects
of Character But Time Exposes
Such Deceptions.

In the palmy days OF Rome many of
its principal citizens built themselves
marble palaces. Once in awhile there
would be a flaw in the marble, or a
bungling workman would chip off too
large a piece, and then, if he Or the
contractor was dishonest, the hole
would be filled in with a kind of &C.
ment, known as wax, cOlOred in imita
ton of the marble. For time it was
impossible, except upon the closest in
spection, to detect the fraud, but after
awhile, on account Of the action of
the atmosphere and the rain, the wax
would become discolored, thus reveal
ing the imposition. When the practice
became known the builders put into
their contracts the stipulation that the
work should be done sine cera-with-
out wax-and from the phrase comes
our word sincere.
Build without wax-be sincere,
which is merely another way of say
ing, Be honest. Do not ever attempt
to cover up defects by any deception.
In the first place, highly resolve that
there shall be no defects. If, through
any blunder of yours, the work has
been marred, says Wellspring, make
it good if you can, even though it be
at considerable cost to yourself. In
the second place, if you cannot remedy
the matter, frankly point out the i'm
perfection and take the consequences,
whatever they may be.
No carpenter can afford to put a
rotten scantling in a building, even
though in the progress of the work it
will be hidden. For he is building a
character, and that rotten scantling
becomes a part of his character. The
more rotten scantlings he puts into
his houses the more he puts into his
character, SO that in time it is sure to
break down altogether.
That is what we all are doing
building character; and that should be
done sine cera-without wax Into
that we want to insert nothing but the
best material, we'll put together, pol
ished in true Workmanlike manner
carrying out as well as we can our
great Architects instructions. If at
any time we have spoiled the material
or have put in poor stuff-"wood, hay,
stubble''-let us not attempt to conceal
it by deceptive exterior, but cast it
out, replacing it with that which, is
both lovely and durable-''gold, silver,
costly stones" Paul, who was himself
master builder" warns us that
Each mans work shall be made man
ifest; for the day shall declare it, be-
cause it is revealed in fire; and the fire
itself shall prove each mans work of
what sort it is" Il Cor. 3:13). 1t may
possible for awhile to cover mp defects
of character, but in time the wax will
be so dissolored that the faults cannot
be hidden; Or some fiery trial will
melt it SO that the hideousness under
meath will come into view. Build with
out wax-sincerely, openly, carefully
strongly.
