Tho Church and the world.

We laboriously climbed the Great
Pyramid, four hundred and fifty feet
into the air. The cloudless sky and
perfectly dry atmosphere made 1t pos
sible to see great distances In every
direction. To the north and west the
curvlng river, the groups of palms, and
in the distance the domes and minarets
of Cairo made up view of charming
beauty peculiar entirely to that country
and that locality. TO the south and
east the desert stretched away as far
as the eye could reach, the heated air
shimmering above the golden sands.
And now, looking down. We discerneu
what before we had not discovered.
The fresh verdure of the river bank
met the encroaching sands Of the des-
ert in a distinctly defined line. All
bright green on the one side, all dreary
barrenness on the other. Upon the
ground 1t is impossible to appreciate
how distinct that line Is. From our
great elevation 1t was strlkingly ap-
parent.
The trouble with many in the church
is that they live on so low a plane spir-
itually that they do not discern the
line between the church and the world.
If they would but arise TO their exalted
privilege in Christian experience they
would see 1t clearly.
1t is there, however. 1t lies between
the sweet, restful verdure Of the banks
of the river of life and the dreary
waste Of the selfish. heartless, joyiess
realm Of the votarles of sinful pleasure
1t is where "old things have passed
away, and all things have become
new" 1t is where business methods of
questionable proprlety end and down
right honesty begins. 1t is where
pleasures of misleading tendency are
put away and those things that make
for purity and holiness and wholesome
influence in social life come in.
That line exists as necessity in the
nature of things spiritual. For what
fellowship hath light with darknessT'
1t is battle line the whole length of
it, and IL is not a difficult thing for
brave men and women of God to find
it. 1t is possible for all in the church
to live near enough to God to see it.
Let us all come to higher plane

yOcate

The extraordinary spectacle OF VII
lage held up by a swarm OF bees was
witnessed at Weston-on-Trent near
Derby, this week. says an English ex-
change.
The bees became infuriated because
an attempt to occupy tenanted hives
was. after tremendous battle, re-

alive with mad oees; the main street
was quite impossible. and people had
to shut themselves in their houses.

We Must Fit the Cross.

A lady employed an artist to carve
for her in marble the figure of an angel
carrying a cross. He began with the
augel. and had succeeded remarkably
well, when he found that he could not
make the cross fit on his back, nor
could he alter the cross or the figure
so as to get the cross to fit. He tried
again and again, but in the end he had
to give 1t up.
The lady then employed another
artist to complete the work or make
another He began with the cross and
then made the back of the figure to
fit It,
What powerful sermon is contained
in the story Of the two artists expert
ences! Our first impulse always is to
attempt to alter our crosses to fit us:
our final experience is that we must
learn to fit ourselves to them.

The editor of nm English liquor trade
organ, said in recent Interview, that,
in the opinion of the trade, the great
decrease in the consumption OF liquor
In England was due arst to economic
conditions, and secondly, TO the change
in the public taste, saying: During
the last three years the enormous ex-
penditures of the South African War
has pressed hardly upon the public.
When they are short of money wine Is
the first thing In which they will econ
omlze. Then, as regards the public
taste, II Is a well-known fact that men
will not sit long after dinner, as they
used to do, and drink their bottle OF
port or claret. The moment dinner Is
finished they begin smoking, the only
form OF liquid refreshment they In

BULLDOG and Rather.

A bulldog owned by John Passini. a
farmer living on the Under Mountain
road, in South Canaan, fought large
rattlesnake to the death yesterday.
The dog discovered the snake near
the bottom of the mountain while on
its way to a brook, and Immediately
charged on the reptile. Fastening its
teeth midway between the rattler's
head and tail the dog chewed the
snake until 1t was dead. Then the
dog died from bites ON the fighting
ground.
The snake was large one and had
eleven rattles. The dry weather is

Iprosress of Temperance In England.

Brewers are just now much exercised
in their minds over the great falling
off in their returns. Attempts are OF
course being made to discount any
suggestion that beer is ceasing to be
the national beverage and that wave
OF temperance is sweeping over the
land. But we have no hesitation In
saying that temperance reform Is win
ming its way in England, and that the
decline of the brewer Is something
more than a merely temporary depres-
sion. Considerations of health and
economy appeal more powerfully than
ever they did before to the popular
mind. and are the brewers most for
midable opponents.
II is a remarkable sign of the spread
of temperance principles that borough
councils in their representative capac-
ity should be initiating methods of
temperance reform. Some time ago
the council of Woolwich took action In
this direction, and now that of Gambler
well has unanimously decided to fol-
low suit by issuing placard on phys
ical deterioration and alcoholism.
signed by the Mayor and the public
officer of health.
This placard points ont in an emu
phatic manner the fact that the abuse
OF alcoholic stimulants Is one of the
most potent means of physical deterior-
alton. It further states that alcoholic
persons are specially liable to tuber-
culosis and all inhhmmatory disorders,
and that the lunacy figures show a
large and increasing number of admis-
sions OF both sexes due directly to
drink. And II concludes with these
striking words: Alcoholism is the
most terrible enemy to personal health,
to personal happiness and to national
prosperity "-Church Eclectic.

JuKt Like God.

Little Mary was one morning read
ing with her mother in the New Testa-
ment, and this was one of the verses
of the chapter:
'For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that who
soever belleveth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life"
Stopping for n moment in the read
ing the mother asked: Don't you
think II is very wonderfulT The child,
looking surprised, replied in the mega
tive. The mother, somewhat aston
ished, repeated the question, to which
the little daughter replied "Why, no,
mamma. 1t would be wonderful IL 1t
Were anybody else; but it's just like
God"
