Before sin entered into the world, God
came and walked in sweet fellowship
with Adam in the garden, but when
man by his own choice disobeyed God
sin entered into the world, and separa-
tion from God by reason of sin. The ex-
pulsion from the garden-the place
where God had walked arm in arm with
man and communed with him-the shut
ting of the gate against him and the
placing of the guard of cherubims and
the flaming sword to keep the way of the
tree of life, all typify the awful fact of
separation from God by reason of sin.
Man henceforth was far from God. Sin
was the awful barrier which rose between
the holy, pure and righteous God, and
man. There are three facts in regard to
sin which must be emphasized: Gods
hatred of sin, the certain punishment
of sin, and Gods unchanged and un-
changeable attitude towards sin. 1t is
as impossible for sin to abide in the
presence.of God as IL is for darkness to
come into the flooding light of the glo-
rious sun. There is no sin in Heaven,
not even the most infinitesimal taint or
speck of sin, for God is there This
marks the chief difference between earth
and Heaven. Sin is in the earth, but
there is no sin in Heaven. 1t is abso-
lutely impossible for it to gain entrance
there. And every soul that goes from
earth to Heaven must be cleansed and
purified from all sin before it can enter
there.
6OD hates sin, and sin must be pun
I ished. The wages of sin is DEATH
God has never altered His decree.
Sin cannot escape the devouring wrath of
God any more than Sodom and Gomor-
rah could escape the fire of Gods judg-
ment And although God has been dealing
in patience and mercy with this old world
for ages, and is still waiting for it TO re-
pent and be saved through faith in
Jesus Christ, His hatred of sin has not
grown less, nor has His judgment upon
sin been modified or changed in the least
degree. God changes not But conceptions
of God do change, and there is an easy
belief nowadays that God is too good
and loving to punish sin, and the one
who cIings to sin. But this misconcep-
ton. this lie of the devil Che began to

The SlSylacE.

Skylarks are rather prolific birds,
having two broods in the year, and
often laying as many as five eggs,
though four is the usual number. The
nest is so difficult to find that it IS
practically never discovered except by
accident. as when, for instance, the
hayfields are mown, or what is being
hoed The bird very seldom nests near
the margin of a field, where it might
be put of its nest by passersby. On
the shores Of the North sea skylarks
will nest in the ''bents" and MARIAN
close to the edge Of the sand hills,
though they have to fetch food to their
young from q considerable distance.
There is always something very pleas
ing in the sight Of q lark's Esst. 1t Is
usually sunk in a hollow, and, unlike
the nests of many ground building
birds, is most carefully made, the cup
being deep and perfectly circular, and
lined with very fire grasses, though
the outer part is made Of rough, dead
bents, and often of q most irregular
shape in order to fill up the hole IN
which it is made.-London Spectator

home with him to dinner, and as he
rode along he made heavy bet on bis
cooks punctuality. But the cook fall
ed him for once; when he got home din
ner was not ready. The jeers Of his
companions at this failure, together
with his huge loss in the matter Of the
wager, enraged him so that be. ran Into
the kitchen, seized q cleaver and split
the cooks head open with it. After
ward his family, to keep this crime
alive, adopted for its crest the bloody
hand Of the cook killer.

NIGHT blossoms,

Many flowers, natives most OF them
Of regions where the day is intensely
hot, expand their blossoms at night.
Notable among them is the Victoria

near the Amazon at nightfal and
closes it at dawn.
The queen Of the night blooms for
one night only. and has its home on
the islands Of the Caribbean sea. The

From Virginia comes the biennial

brought to England in 1614 because its
twisted red root could be eaten as
salad.
Among British night flowers are the

primrose and the campion. The white
or yellow color and the fragrance OF
these flowers Of nocturnal habit attract
rowing moths, which carry the pollen
and so ferdlize the plants.-London

Pumice stone is a porous teiospatnlc

linear and so fine as often to be barely
visible except by means Of q magnify
inc glass. It's specific gravity is 90 to
2Avater being the unit-but by rea-
son Of it's spongy texture pieces are
often buovant enough to float on water.
It consists chiefly Of silica, with some
times II per cent of lumina, 6 per cent
of soda and 4 per cent Of potash. 1t is
Of grayish shades Of color, passing into
yellow and brown The chief source
from which it is obtained for CONNER
cial purposes is Campo Bianco, one Of
the Lipari islands, where it forms hill
nearly 1000 feet high. In the arts
pumice is largely employed, mostly in
pulverized state, as polishing mate
rial for ivory, wood, glass, marbles, etc.
It is also used in lump for grinding and
smoothing metallic surfaces, leather,
ETC., and in the preparation Of parcn-
nents, etc. Quantities Of the pulver-

Fnu1ts In Conversation.

Dean Swift once said: There are
two faults in conversation which ap-
pear very different, get arise from the
same root and are equally blamable.
I mean an impatience to interrupt otn-
ers and the uneasiness Of being IN
terrupted ourselves. The two chief
ends Of conversation are to entertain
and improve those we are among or to
receive those benefits ourselves, which
whoever Will consider cannot possibly
run into either Of those two errors, be-
cause when any man speaketh in COM
pany it is to be supposed he doth 1t for
his hearers sake and not his own, so
that common discretion will teach US
not to force their attention # they
are not willing to lend it, nor, on the
other side, to interrupt him who is
in possession, because that IS In the
grossest manner to give the preference
to our own good sense
