EPWORTH LEAGUE NOTES.

The following notes on the lesson for
tomorrow were prepared by a local mem
Der of the league:
The topic for the week is, Am I my
brothers keeper?" Genesis :S-15. This is
question which, according to Bible his
tory, has troubled mankind ever since the
world began. Cain first asked 1t when
questioned by God as to the whereabouts
of his brother Abel, whom he had muir
dered on account of jealousy aroused by
Gods acceptance of Abels sacrifice as
being worthy and the refusal of his own
as being unworthy. Gods answer was
to announce to him a curse, of which
Cain said, my punishment is more than
1 can bear?" Since then the world has
required of man that he be the keeper of
his brothers life
The Bible teaches that man is not only
the keeper of his brothers physical life,
but of his moral and spiritual life as
well.
Incidents in which are hidden answers
to This question will be found in the fol-
lowing daily readings: "A patriarch's
er's answer" Deut 22:14, s:s-12), "a
wise mans answer" prov. PAISLEY, a
prophets answer" lHab. 212-15), AN
apostles answer" Il Cor. S:S-13), The
Masters answer Matt. 5:17-2O).
Miss Alma F'arden, fourth vice president
of Waugh Chapter and her committee
superintended Eugene Field evening for
Friday, January 6. Poems were read and
recited and a number of musical selec-
tons given. A part of the evening was

LeaguerS.

meeting there were seventy children who
pledged themselves to be Christians. These
juniors support an orphan inIndia, and one
in Porto Rico. The work is in charge of
Miss Jean M. Patterson.
Mrs. Frank T. Israel had charge of the
last meeting at Wesley, and gave talk
upon every ones need of salvation. At the
close of the service Rev. DR.. VIM. NJ.
Ferguson made an appeal to the members
to help in the coming revival meetings.
The Sunday evening meetings of the Ep-
worth League at the Metropolitan NJ. E.

Durability of Wood.
m the Boston Transcript.

IUIH ths bUsIUH ITIhsCIlpt.
Some interesting experiments have been
made to ascertain which wood lasts the
longest. 1t was found that birch and aspen
decayed in three years. willow and chest
nut In four years, maple and red beech in
five years and elm and ash in seven years.
Oak, Scottish fir and Weymouth pine de
cayed to the depth of half an inch in seven
years; larch and juniper We're uninjured at
the end of seven years. In situations so
free from moisture that they may be prac-
tically called dry the durability of timber
is unlimited. The roof of Westminster Hal
is more than $50 years old.
