COUNT DE LAMSDORFF.
Russia's Minister for Foreign Anairs
Is Said to BE q Consistent
Advocate of Peace.

In view of the expected hostilities be-
tween Russia and Japan, Foreign Min
lister Lamsdorff, of Russia, is just nov
especially prominent as representing Of
ficially that element of the Russian en-
pire, of which the car is an adherent,
which is VIGOROUSLY opposed to war.
Count Lamsdorff succeeded to his port
folio in January, three years ago, fol-
lowing the sudden death of Count
Muravieff. He was well known as one
of the most efficacious men in the for
eign Office, and Count Muravieff's first
assistant, and naturally the car turned
to him as the latter's successor. He has

never lost faith in his judgment, and to-
day is firm believer that the good Of
Russia depends rather on the peaca
views of the foreign minister than upon
Viceroy Alexieff, who heads the war
party.
Count Lamsdorff entered the Russian
foreign Office at an early age and rose
rapidly. He was first attached to the
emperor's cabinet, then appointed Sec
rotary to the foreign Office, and finally
councillor. When he became minister
one of the his first reforms was to break
the system of shrouding everything in
the cabinet under the veil of mystery.
Since that time, by means of the OIL
cial messenger, he keeps the public in
formed about all matters of interest per-
tanning to the foreign Office, which, for
Russia, is considered a great innova-
ton. II Count Lamsdorn can prewsnt
it there will be no wal. between Russia
and Japan.

the count and Elisabeth made short
trip to the country, and upon their re-
turn the count announced their be-
trothal. Active preparations for the
wedding have begun and the ceremony
will take place very soon at the counts
estate in Hungary.
Count Stephen Gyulal is q years old
and belongs to the military order of
German knights. His father, who died
some years ago, was great Hungarian
nobleman, knight Of honor of the
Sovereign Order of Malta. He be-
queathed to his son estates in Hungary
at Saravola, Trubswetten, Dugosello,
Gyulai Mares, Murany and Macy
Barsany; castle at Corr near Trieste
and another country place near Bozen,
in one of the loveliest parts of the Tyrol.
There are also other historic properties
in Lombardy, the domains of Assegiano,
Mestre, near Venice; Theviso Muestre
and Chirignogo.
Following the European custom, the
count leaves the management of his
great Inheritance to agents and spends
most OF his time in the gay Austrian
capital. He is exceedingly fond of
hunting, and is a remarkably good
shot. Latterly he has devoted good
deal of time to automobiling. The
Gyulai family is of ancient origin, trac-
ing it's ancestry back to the fifteenth
century. Count Stephens branch was
ennobled in 1894, the then head of the
line being given the title of baron in
Austria. In 1701 he was raised to the
dignity of a count of Pennsylvania.

Freexing Mixtures.

Freezing mixtures, containing mere
than one ingredient, are inconvenient,
and A. Desmarest, French chemist,
has sought to overcome the disadyant-
age by producing single salt of con-
siderable cooling power by boiling a
sodium salt at $50 degrees F. The crys-
tallized product, called "boreol," is odor-
less, and can be preserved Indefinitely.
When mixed with go per cent of water IL
gives temperature about 30 degrees be-
low that of the water, and a pound will
cool three pints of water to about so
degrees.

Wins More Than a Bride.

Taking a matrimonial leap in the dark
has resulted in amusing complications
for a Colorado couple. A few months
ago fascinating young widow and an
elderly widower met at a Denver board
ing house and became so enraptured
with each other that wedding was duly
celebrated. Unfortunately, in his anxiety
to win the fair widow, the gentleman
omitted to state that he had family of
half dozen children, and from similar
failure of memory the widow forgot to
mention her four olive branches-in
fact, these little family secrets only
leaked out on the wedding day, when it
was too late to turn back. The result
of the disclosures may be easily inn
agined, with the picture of two Disguised
and disillusionized parents and ten frac-
tious children in their happy home.

ing developments. 1t is estimated that
Islam's gains in India alone counterbal-
ance its losses in all other parts of the
world. In Bengal, containing
74,71S,O20 inhabitants, third of whom
are Mohammedans and only two-tenths
of one per cent. of whom are Christians,
the greatest progress in prOselytism is
under way. MOhammedanism is not
advancing in India with the rapidity
which characterizes western religious
movements. But considering the rigid
conservatism to be overcome and the
exclusively peaceful means employed,
the results must be quite satisfactory to
men Of the Asiatic turn of mind"
The writer attributes great part IT
the success of the Mohammedan prop
uganda to its dogmatism. The
illuminating force of belief in sim
gle God" and the authoritative teach
fngs of the Koran make strong appeal,
he thinks, to those who have known
only the vagueness and uncertainty of
the Buddhistic faiths. II it be asked
why Christianity, also a monotheistic
and authoritative religion, has not met
with the same ready response, Mr.. Ogg
replies that there are many reasons. In
the first place, Mohammedanism has
the advantage both of priority and of
Asiatic kinship. Explain it as we
may. there is an intellectual and spir-
itual barrier between the Asiatic and
the European which no amount of effort
has ever yet been able to break down."
The attitude of the two religions toward
the Indian caste system strikingly illus
trates the. truth of this statement.
While Christianity "proclaims the nat
ural rights and equality of men, and
by so doing strikes death-blow at the
caste-system," Mohammedanism mere
ly asks the Hindoo to change caste by
entering the great brotherhood of the
faithful" a..
One thing is sure. says the writer in
conclusion, india will be neither Mo-
hammedan nor Christian for many CEN
turtles to come"

| made nigh to God are those who have re-
| ceived the Lord Jesus as Saviour, who by
faith have accepted the fact Of atone
ment for sin as the only way of salvation.
1t is blood-washed throrg, whose gar
ments are made spotless. None other
may come there. The test is not church
membership. 1t is not family connec-
tions, a good pedigree. The Jews pleaded
that argument with Jesus, but because
they were of the eeed of Abraham did
not insure their salvation. 1t is not good
works. Perhaps that IS what the stran-
ger wore who got into tie marriage sup
per without the wedding garment on.
Certainly he was very bold in coming
there in the garments he had prepared
for himself, and he must have encour-
aged himself in this belief that he had
as good, a right there as anyone else.
But when the Lord of that supper con-
fronted him he was speeches., and be-

Different religiorv bodies may have diff
ferent tests which admit to membership,
but there is only one thing which will
admit the soul into the blessed presence
of God, and give it place in Heaven;
it is the cleansing blood of Jesus. And
those who are thus purified are admitted
to blessed fellowship with God here in
this life and also in the life to come.

JESUS felt the agony of that separa-
ton from God as He hung on the
cross and became sin for u.s. The
intense mental suffering of that hour is
indicated by the broken-hearted cry of
Jesus: 'My God, my God, why hast
Thou forsaken Me-" As the weight of
the worlds sin rolled upon His sinless
shoulders, God turned from Him. Did
you ever try to understand what those
words, HE became sin for us" mean ?
Did you ever realize that in the instant
that the sinless Christ became sin for
us in that instant God. His Father,
turned from Him, for God hates sin, He
cannot permit it in His presence? Jesus.
the sinless man, the Son of God, the one
who perfectly kept the law of God and
was entitled to entrance to Heaven, sepa
rated from God, because of the sin He
was carrying for you and me, and bear
ing the punishment of that sin in His
death, in order that we might not know
the awfulness of final and eternal separa-
ton from God, but might be brought
back to fellowship with God and place
with Him in Heaven. Jesus knew what
separation from God meant in order that
we might never have to know the awful
ness of that experience We know what
Gods Word tells us of it. That it means
darkness, and awful agony, and weeping
and crashing of teeth; that 1t means hell
and hell's torment. But, blessed be God!
we do not have to know by actual ex-
perience. Jesus has become sin for us.
He suffered death on the cross and paid
the penalty once and for all for sin, and
