shore, instead of searching the expanss
of waters in the other direction for the
ship in need. for the men going down
to death in the black waters. They need
the vision of the lost ship and the per
ishing souls to make them forget ev-
erything else and send them out upon
their errand of mercy.
AND the Christian needs the vision OF
n a world perishing in its sin to be
| aroused to the work OF rescue. He needs
to turn his eyes from the direction OF
the shore where all is safe and secure,
and look out upon the engulfng waters
of sin, he needs to see the shipwrecked
souls tossing helplessly about and going
down to death; he needs to behold the
lowering clouds of Gods judgments
upon sin, to feel the fierce blasts of His
wrath against all ungodliness. All, how
complacently we view life, the world and
the men and women in the world! We
have the narrow, limited human vision
of things. We blind the eye and steel
the heart against the true vision which
God gives us in His Word. God says:
"a world dead in trespasses and SINS"
We say: "a world so alive, and pro-
gressive, and good" God says: There
is none that doeth good. no not one"
"All have sinned and come short OF the
glory of God" We say: What an ex-
cellent record man has written. How
proud God ought to be of him." We view
human life with cOniplacency and salts
faction. We look into the faces OF &C.
Q~uaintances, friends, loved ones, and
smile and talk, and forget that within,
oh, too often! there is the perishing
soul. We live for time; we wear the eye
glasses which the present fits to u
eyes and through which we see the world
in roseatc hues; we forget that it is not
all of life to live or death to die. We
forget and are Indifferent while the
whole world is a vast graveyard, with
perishing, lost souls masQueradlng IN
the bright, attractive covering of the
human life. Oh, for the vision that Will
help us to see as God sees: A lost world
instead of the attractive world in which
so much of our thought and desire and
ambition are conferred! A sin-ruincd
race, in spite of all the polish and veneer
which man can cunningly devise. But we
need a second vision. A vision not only
of the worlds need, but of the worlds
Saviour. What Joy to the life saver
when he sees the sinking man and is
able to put forth the strong arm and
drag him in safety from the hungry
death-waters. What JOY, what un-
speakable joy, comes to the Christian
whom God has placed as a life saver
in the world, as he sees the perishing
soul and is able to bring him safe to
the rock Christ Jesus. There is never
a case too hard for Jesus. Wait for
the vision Of the Christ who is mighty
to save

Realizing a Fact.

Gradually the people of Missis-
sippi are coming to a realization Of
the fact that the soil Of their State
is as fine as can be found in any
State in the Union, and that all that
has to be done to make it yield an
abundant harvest is to give it the
proper sort Of culture. The men
who are engaged in farming in Mis-
sissippi are using their heads 10

able contributions to the farming
literature of the State IS a little
pamphlet which has been issued by
Richard Inglis, of Longbeach, Miss,
entitled, "Truck Farming in South
Mississippi" The following ex-
tract is taken from the pamphlet,
which shows what can be done IN
Mississippi when an Intelligent eff
fort is made:

THE burden for souls rested SO
heavily upon Paul's heart that he
had reached the superlative degree OF
Christly love. He felt as though he
would gladly surrender his hope in
Christ if thereby his brethren might
be saved. Death hat there may BIO

God. Except a corn of wheat fall

love for the world. A dying that there
might be life, a sacrifice that there
might be a cleansing from sin. 1t is

tian life if it is to be fruitful for the
Master. The burden. for souls must
lead down into the grave of a dead self.
We must be willing, yea anxious, to
die in order that out of the grave of a
dead self may spring the fruitful
branch. Have you loved so as to go
out and seek? Have you loved and
then eagerly and gladly told the story?
You must love yet more. The burden

that the sacrifice which Christ MADE
wrought redemption for all the world.
The terms in which Jesus is referred
to all through the Bible from the time
when God promised Abraham that IN
him should all the nations of the earth
be blessed until John came crying:
Behold the Lamb of God, which TAX
eth away the sin of the world" are
those which reach out beyond Israel
into all the world. This intensiveness
and eXtensiveness is the very heart OF
the Gospel. 1t is the conception of the
Gospel which every Christian should
have, and its spirit must pervade the
heart and life, if one is to do effectual
and faithful service for the Master. 1t
is the man with the large vision that
aims the highest and goes the farthest.
The king who was looking for an ad-
ministrator for his kingdom examined
each aspirant for the place and asked
what were his qualifications. Each had
much to say of himself and what the
Kingdom was to be through his admin
istratiOn. At last there came n with
modest, quiet manner, but with a far,
deep light Eindling in the eye. His
vision was not of self, but of the king
dom. his qualifications were not those
Of self-dependence and the assurance Of
~conceit, but rather of earnest, faithful
devotion to the vision of the high des-
tiny Of the kingdom. Thou art the
man for whom 1 have been looking!"
exclaimed the king. Into thy hands
shall be committed this trust"

THIS burden for souls should rest
l upon the heart Of every Christian.
1t is not an experience which should
he confined to ministers INT evange-
lists, and a few of the more spiritual
church members, but is one which
should be manifested in every heart
that has felt the cleansing power of
Jesus blood anil the q~uickening power
of His life. The burden for souls should
characterize the Gospel, rather than be
the unusual and infrequent expression
of that Gospel. But such burden can
come only as the soul catches a vision
of the lost world, hopeless and help
less in it's sin, and forever separated
from God, and a vision Of the Christ,
and the worldwide salvation which
He is able to offer through the atone
ment which He made for sin. This

every Christian to have, and without

heart as will send him forth a soul

A ND this is the fruition of the bur
~ den which comes with the double
vision of the worlds need, and the
worlds Saviour: First, the Christly
love which seeks. Second, the Christly
love which tells. Third, the Christly
love which wants to die. Some bur
dens crush, while others become step
ping stones to newer and better things
Paul's burden gave birth in his heari
to a larger love, a deeper purpose, ana
fuller conservation. The burden fol-
souls never leaves the heart bruised
and discouraged, nay, rather with il
comes the infowing stream of Christ's
presence. With the burden for souls
there comes q sense of the love which
could bring the Son of God all the way
from Glory to this sin-cursed earth
seeking lost man, which could make
Him tell the blessed Gospel story with
His matchless life, and which could
bring Him gladly to the cross and the
grave. We talk of the love Of Christ
We say that we want it. But we never
can know that love until the burden
for souls fills our hearts with the
yearning which will send us out into
the highways and the hedges seeking
the lost. We shall never know that
love fully until the burden for souls
fills our hearts with the message and
unlocks the lips that it may be given
forth. Nay, more, we can never know
that love in all it's blessed fullness until
the burden for souls makes us cry out
to our God in our yearning, and long
to die if need be that souls may be
saved. Have you the love that seeks?
Have you the love that tells the glad
message of salvation everywhere
Have you the love that would die i,
ordnr that souls may be SaVed2

OSEPH in Egypt was prepared for
y the large service by his vision Of
the f~ar-reaching commission and des-
tiny of Egypt. Daniel in Babylon was
fitted for the control of the kingdom by
the revelation Of the place that king
dom held in the plans Of the eternal
God. Jesus was prepared to become
the worlds Saviour by the realization
of Gods purposes in Him for all the
world. And the Christian is equipped
and prepared for service by this same
vision, this same realization of the in
ltensiveness and extensiveness of the
GLORIOUS Gospel. This condition and
o attitude of heart characterize the life
and writings of Paul. His ministry
everywhere, whether from the prison
. cell at Rome or at Athens, or Corinth
or Ephesus where he preached to the
multitudes, throbbed and pulsated with
the intensity of the Gospels power to
save to the uttermost, and its extern
~siveness to reach out and enfold all the
needy world. 1t was from such a
heart. a heart filled with a realization
OF the power and possibilities of the
Gospel, that there burst the cry: MY
hearts desire and prayer to God for
Israel is, that they might be saved.
/ have great heaviness and continual
sorrow in my heart. For l could wish
that myself were accursed from Christ
for my brethren, my kinsmen accord
ing to the flesh" A heart burdened
for souls. So burdened that he would
gladly have given his life and his hope
if thereby the lost souls Of his brethren
might be saved. 1t was the echo of
the cry Of Moses in the wilderness, as
he asked God to blot him out Of His
book il His mercy could not be extend

Mystery or the Sailing OF the Grafton
Under Sealed Orders.

Under sealed Orders.
EsoUIMAULT, B. c., Nov. l2.-The mystery
SURF ounding the pe emptory Ietall of the
flagship Grafton Of the British Pacific
squadI on, together with the second class
cruiser Flo,a, is deepened rather than
dispelled by the latest info nation and
den elopments. The Grafton sailed on Sat
urday under sealed orders Incidentally. it
may be mentioned that just pre-, ious to
weighing ane hor the Grafton took on board
every bit Of 9.2 ammunition In store at
Esquimault, although her own mas azines
air eady contained a six months supply.
A few daye afterward, when the crisis
had passed. the flagship was released. Her
prepaI sions for the southern cruise were
at once resumed, only to be suspended
again last Friday by other cable messages
from the Admiralty upon receipt Of " hio b
orders were given for the ship to prepar
for an immediate return to Portsmouth,
it being requires that she should be ready
to sail within "a hours.
Having already coaled and prepared
for a cruise, the Grafton was able to COM
plete her preparations for immediate de-
parture for home within the twenty-four
hours allowed her, and her command was
thereupon transferred to Capt Fraser.
On Saturday the Grafton reported ready
for sea, and it was then that the significant
feature Of the situation developed. Capt.
Fraser received intimation that. instead OF
route directions for England being given
to him. he would sail under sealed orders,
to te opened twenty-four hours at sea,
which orders would explain the nature OF
the emergency mission upon which the skip
was detailed.
The destination of the Grafton and the
nature Of her mission are therefore close

LONDON. Nov. l2.-The Lancet publishes
a letter from DR.. Hooker on the r., ilts OF
three years experiments with the Blond
lotz N-rays emitted by the human body.
DR., n locker says he has established the fact
that these rays differ in color according
to the character and temper ament OF

merely heat vibrations, as he proved by
passing rays from his own hand through
the forearm of corpse to prepared screen
which Immediately showed incre ased
luminosity In reference to the differing
colors of the rays, DR.. Hooker says:
Rays en.anating from very passionate

DR.. Hooker admits that his statement

incredulity, but he is confident it will sooner
or later be accepted as a fact. He further
