Cenuloid Comb Killed Child.

A celluloid hair comb and a lighted
match made a combination that resulted
in the death of four-year-old Viola Szurski,
of No. 4746 Stiles street, frankfort, Pa.
The child, who had been left alone in the
house with two smaller children, was
showing how she could hold a comb in her
mouth, place a lighted match between her
teeth and allow it to burn until it extin-
suished itself. When the flames came in
contact with the celluloid an explosion
followed. The child's hair and clothing
were ignited, and before she could reach
aid she had been burned so badly that she
died q few hours later in the frankfort

A simple method by which the fresh

upon the fact that the air chamber at
the fat end of the egg increases IN
size with lineage Of the egg. A fresh
egg lies in a horizontal position at the
bottom of a vessel containing a salt
solution. At the expiration Of from
three to five days, there is noticed an
inclination upward Of twenty degrees
at the fat I'D. When the egg is two
weeks oldil u "'nes an angle Of sixty

The Making OF Christian His Birth.

Inc haklUR OI SuTlbt1au LAD DShkAs
BY AMOS r. WELLS.
For seven months We arc to have lessons
on "The Making of a Christian" 1t IS q
topic we'll worth our. thoughts. Most
Christians are content to be like Topsy,
plan his growth, and see that he Is grow
ing in the image of Christ.
The first question we have to answer
honestly to ourselves is this solemn. one:
Have I been born again." Without the
second birth no one can see the kingdom
of heaven. Henry Drummond illustrates
it thus: How does the inanimate kingdom
reach the animate kingdom? The soil can.
not climb up into the corn, but the corn
reaches down and takes the soil up into
itself. Neither can the plant kingdom
reach up into the animal kingdom, but the
OK must reach ont and take the corn and
make it a part of itself. And by the same
process the OK becomes part of a man. ,
In that way the man becomes part OF
the kingdom of heavenly a new birth,
as a helpless infant, the higher kingdom
reaching down and lifting US up into 1t.
That is why Christ came to earth-because
earth could never come to heaven. That
is why Christ alone can tell us how we can
enter the spiritual life, be born again.
1t is a double process. Christ says, We
are to be born of water, and of the Spirit.
What did He mean?
Water is the outward token OF the
new birth. We are not spirits yet, we are
in bodies. We cannot wholly be born
again without an outward act as well as
an inward change. That is why Christ and
His ministers insist on baptism, on join
ing the church. on the fuifllment in the
world of the outward duties of a Christian.
To be sure, as Christ said, "the kingdom
of heaven is within" bat if it is truly
within it will show itself on the outside.
No one can truly give himself to the high
er life and not be eager to be baptized. to
Join the. church, to manifest his new JOY
in every outward way.
But the new birth is also "of the Spirit"
It is mysterious, as mysterious as the night
wind that Nicodemus heard moaning
along the narrow streets Of Jerusalem"
But it is certain, as the wind is. No one
that is born again will be unconscious OF
it or doubt it.
For it will transform his entire life, as
the wonderful light in Goethe's lovely tale,
placed inside the fsheTman's hut, gradu.
ally transformed, its logs and boards to
cleaning silver and changed all its ugh.
ness to beauty.
Is ours this transformed life? Has the
Spirit of God lifted US up, out OF our frets
into His peace, out of Our weakness into
His power, out of our sins into His purity,
out of our shame into His glory. or are we
still living "to the fesh?" Not for an
hour longer need we 60 on in the lower
life, for the glad new birth is TO be had
for the asking.-Sabbath Reading.

point.
The effect upon Simon Peter was instan-
taneous and overpowering. AS IN a flash
of thought he saw. as he never had seen;
felt. as he never had known. the differ
ence between his Lord and himself. Over
against the Masters divine power his own
helplessness and ignorance stood forth as a
black blot on a white surface. He who
had but Just now assumed that air and
professional superiority, slight though it
was; who had hesitated to trust implicitly
and to follow without question or protest
the wisdom and the pr,eeept Of MS Master
how was he fit for discipleship? In the
momentary anguish Of his spirit. awed by
the vision first of his Lord, then of him
self, he proposed to renounce his peculiar
and personal relation to Jesus Christ. Il
am not worthy that Thou shouldst stay in
my boat or I in Thy fellowship" exclaims
Peter even as he clasps his Lords knees;
Ego forth from me, O Lord, for I AMI a
sinful man."
But this is precisely the act of renuncia-
lion that Christ will not let any disciple
of His make, though his lntirmities be
many and his self-will assertively strong.
He knows that when. in some time Of su-
preme illumination. His disciple sees him
self in silhouette against the brightness Of
his Masters glory and power the sense of
righteous self-depreciation will be overpowt
eringly strong. But never yet did Jesus,
never will He answer aecedingly the de-
spairing. desperate cry of a soul thus
searched and scorched by the sense Of the
contrast between himself and his Lord.
For He is come not to call the self-approv-
ing in their vain confidence, but sinners
in their penitence and humility to a better
knowledge of themselves and of Him. He
who could see where the fishes swarmed in
their multitude in the hidden deep knew
also the innermost heart of His disciple,
and saw under all his frailty the firmuess
of his rocklke cOnstancy and the fxity of
his nascent faith. No man need expect
Christ to leave him because he knows him
