Of a woman who sat near the desk.
The person addressed opened her cloak

through its shriveling medium, she said,

How to Eradicate Mildew

Mildew is very dimcult to remove. One
method is to rub the spots with lemon
1uice and then with salt; another II to
wet them with warm water, rub on a lit
Ito soap and sprinkle with powdered
French chalk and salt. Dry in the sun

II these methods fail, bleaching water

Gods truth and should think that It did
not matter how he lived, for God would
save all mankind, the other truth ac-
companies the first, and is as follows:
LET every one that 1ameth the name
of Christ depart from iniQuity." Lii
cense to sin is not given by the declara-
ton of the first motto of the inscription.
but rather it would imply life of holy
living. The second motto Is q natural
development of the first. It 10 the plans,
the specifications, by which man u to
build the superstructure. Here il the
foundation laid by God, Jesus Christ,
Himself not only being that foundation
but the cornerstone as we'll. The first
part of the inscription reminds us Of the
words of Jesus to His Heavenly Father
when He declared: "Of them that Thou
hast given Me have lost none" It is .
known and definite factor in the mind
Of God exactly as to who belong to Him.
He knows who the builders are. His
eyes are upon those who are to rear the
superstructure on the foundation which
He has provided, and because God is as
choice and careful of the superstructure
as of the foundation He tells you and me
who are builders on that foundation just
what stately, and solid, and permanent
structure we are to rear. Nothing Of
evil, or error, is to be put there II God
can help 1t. And for this reason He tells
those of us who name the name of
Christ to depart from evil" God wants
a building Of honor, and beauty, and en-
during character to grace His splendid
and everlasting foundation.

dubbed the centipede because it had SO
many massive legs of solid masonry and
iron reaching down to the bedrock far
below, if upon that solid foundation,
able to sustain the largest building
which could possibly be constructed, q
sQuatty and mean building Of one or two
stories had been built. What q diahonor
it would have been to the skill and care
with which the foundation had been
laid! How it would have astonished
and disguised the thinking men of the
city! No, that foundation was prepared
for the magnificent structure which aft
EDWARDS reared its steel and marble pile
proudly aloft towards the sky. And
Gods foundation has been laid for mans
best effort. He must build after Gods
plans. He must put only the very best
of material and workmanship into 1t,
and to realize this high purpose Of God,
'let every one that nameth the name Of
Christ depart from iniquity." The earn
est admonition in 1 Corinthians $40.
''let every man take heed how he build

IN referring to the building which the
l Christian is rearing upon the founda-
ton of Christ Jesus, Peter calls US Give
ly stones" This allusion to the building
of which all Christians are stones un-
doubtedly has reference to Solomon 8

pared for it's place in the structure be-
fore it was brought to the scene of the
temple, so that there was no sound Of

ing was erected. And as stones for God 3
building We are being lifted and pre-
pared to fill a place in that invisibl4
temple of the Church Of Christ which Is
being built. This is the thought in
Paul's mind when in Ephesians he de-
clares that I'VE are His workmansh -
God has a part which He performs for
each individual Christian, and we are
builders with Him in making these liv-
ing stones Of just the right proportions
and size to fill the place we may and
ought to fill in His perfect building. We
are to depart from iniquity. That ia
every form of sin. No longer are we to
build for the natural appetites and lusts.
but by deliberate and positive choice
on our part we are to turn from such
things and build into our characters
such things as shall abide.

HESE things may be ukened unto
gold. silver, precious stones, to
which reference is made in the third

be made manifest; for the day shall
declare it, because 1t shall be re.
vealed by fire: and the fire shall try
every mans work Of what sort it Is.
If any mans work abide which he
hath built thereupon, he shall receive
a reward. II any mans work shall
be burned. he shall suffer loss; but
he himself shall be saved, yet so as by
fire." Our building is to be severely
tested. We may be able to gid tbs
wood, hay and stubble, so as to de-
ceive the eyes of men, and even our
own, and make it seem like the gold
and silver and precious stones, but
in that testing day when the fire of
God shall eat through the thin veneer
and lick up the combustible material
we have been putting into our build
ing we shall be stripped of everything
but just bare salvation. The test
ing is sure to come. We cannot de-
ceive God. What kind of material
are we putting upon the foundation
which God has given us?s It is an
enduring foundation. and is worthy Of
the structure of gold, silver and pre-
cious stones. which shall prove as en-
during as the foundation itself Are
We content to put upon it materials
which shall dishonor the foundation,
and disgrace us in the day Of testing?
We cannot find the gold, silver and
precious stones along the pathway Of
the old nature. We cannot obtain
them if we have our eyes and affec-
tons fixed upon the world and this
things Of the world. We must de-
part from the desires of the natural
man. and seek the things Of God.
This is mans part. This is his share
in the inscription which adorns that
blessed foundation stone. Blessed De
God that in His wonderful Provi-
dence and mercy He has laid such q
foundation for us. and glory and
honor to His name that He has placed
such an inscription and seal upon that
stone whi.a assures us OF His init
mate knowledge Of us. and Of our
duty and privilege towards Him! God
grant that we may every one dill
gently strive to obtain the gold, tho

The United States Department of
Agriculture has just issued a bulletin
on farm labor, giving the results of
twelve statistical Investigations. Re-
turns were received from over 5000
persons for the investigation Of 1902,
and the author, Professor Blodgett, has
evidently studied them carefully; he
remarks that the extreme variety of
conditions is very perplexing in
making averages" The census shows
that there were 2,O44761 hired agricul-
tural latorers in the country, working
under all sorts of conditions as to
wages, time of service, etc. The first
noteworthy fact is that wages have ad-
Vanced materially since the first inyes-
LEGATION made under prevailing money
standards. In 1882 the average wage,
without board, was 1854 in 1892 it was
$lS.6piand in 1902 it was $22l4.

The opening of the Panama canal will

The termination "Ovitch" in Russian
means merely son of, as "ovna" means
daughter Of, and is used as a terminal
to the Christian name of the father. 1t
Is in no sense a family name. Thus
the Emperor's family name is Roman
on but he is frequently spoken of as
Nicholas AleXandrovitch, that is Mich
olas the son of Alexander. If he had
son and called him John, he could be
called Ivan NichOlasovitch, or John
the son of Nicholas. So the word
Czarovitch which We regard as a title
means merely the son of the Car.
Such name is no guide whatever to
the family name or patronymic.
