iGhent, as into many an Old World city.
+ A few workingmen were gathered at

street. They struck out the idea that
bread might be made at cheaper rate
should they club their funds, buy in
quantity. and bake in common. In a
few days they got together SO francs
and 90 centlmes-say Sl7.1S. They
hired an old cellar and. with an old
baker and an old .kneadng trough and
an old oven. the work began. 1t was
cooperation OF the simplest sort. To
day the "Nooruit' possesses at Ghent

thousands OF loaves OF bread, large

For Preserving Timber.

A process for preserving timber,
patented by an Englishman, consists
in injecting 1t with light syrup of
raw sugar from the cane or so-called
beet root. raised to boiling point in
n closed chamber. When the timber
is dried in current of hot air the su!
gar becomes crystallized in the pores,
and the inventor asserts that timber
so treated can not decay, split or
warp, while being protected from de-
structive fungi.

A Man and q Lion,

Travelling in the interior Of East
Africa, an Englishman, Mr.. Charles
Bulpett. tells the following thrilling in
cident-which took place at a spot
about 500 miles inland from Mombasa
in a letter to a friend in England:
THE narrowest escape I have had
was from a lion about a month ago.
I went into the thick thorn bush after
him, which was rather mad. But he
would not come out, and 1 was deter
mined to get him. He charged me
when the bush was all in his favor. /
knocked him over with two bullets,
but still he came on, and / had nothing
for it but to run.
when 1 knocked him over with the
second barrel he was within a yard of
me. He made a grab at me, and with
a prodigious effort I managed TO jump
on to the top of a thorn bush. There
we were, he looking at me and 1 at
him about three feet above his head
I expected to be dragged down at every
moment, but as it turned out he was
too far gone. and I called out to some.
body to come into the bush and finish
him.
Last night" adds Mr.. Bulpett, II

Holv Sennlchre and the Mount OF o.

Holy Sepulchre and the Mount Of Oh
ives. Of course they deny our plat
form-they say that Jesus was nos
the Son Of God. To US who believe "
the Lords divinity there is this sure
refuge. this safe hiding place from the
storms. When doubts arise, although
we should do our best to dispose or
them. we should remember every mo-
ment in the face of mysteries and
contradictions and of alleged ofenses
against the intellect that the Founder
Of Christianity could have made no
mistake because He was the Son OF
God.
Christianity is divine because of the
divinity of the Founder, and 1t is be-
cause of this divinity that Christianity
has endured thus long and all changes
and connections and progress shall
survive until the end Of time. One OF
the many tokens Of its heavenly char.
acter is that it has confronted all the
powers Of darkness and has carried
the day in every struggle and on every
field. From the outset an effort has
been made to Danish it from the face
of the earth. More than once has it
appeared that 1.-THE glorious Gospel OF
the Blessed God" might possibly be
obliterated; but somehow after each
battle the banners Of the cross have
waved in triumph and Gods truth has
won.
Does any one inquire respecting the
outcome? does any one cry out
"Watchman, what of the night?" The
answer is Victory, a better Christen-
dom, a nobler Church, a purer religion.
Let the winds blow and the waves
roar; let the powers of evil and error
DO their worst; let the advance and
achievements of the future surpass a
thousandfold the knowledge and con.
quests of the past. Christianity will
abide with ever increasing glory, for
it is founded on a rock, and that rock
is the incarnate Son of God.

True Prayer is a Striving.

The way to heaven is upward. NO

do not stumble into heaven nor drift
into righteousness and true holiness.
Everyone who repents and is con-
verted and enters upon the way of Life
has a fixed purpose, a definite aim,
and perseveres in his effort to realize
his desire. =,
It is impossible to pray Alright with
ont steady and sustained effort. True
prayer lays a strain on the mind which

In this G~od's-world, with its wild!
whirling eddies and mad foam-oceans.
where men and nations perish as If
without law, and judgment for an IN
just thing is sternly delayed, dost thou
think that there is, therefore. no JUS

It is what the fool hath said in his

were wise because they denied, and
knew forever not to be. I tell thee
again, there is nothing else but justice.
One strong thing I ind here below:
the just thing, the true thing. My
friend, if thou hadst all the artillery
of Woolwich trundling at thy back in
support Of an unjust thing, and in

victory on behalf Of it, I would advise
thee to call halt, to fling down thy

The Hidden Sin.

A majestic tree fell at it's primeAfell
on a calm evening, when there was
scarcely a breath Of air stirring. 1t
had withstood a century of storms and
now was broken off by a zephyr.
The secret was disclosed at its fall
ing. A boys Ratchet had been struck
into it when it was a tender sapling.
The wound had been grown over and
hidden away under exuberant life,
but it had never healed. There at the
heart of the tree it stayed, q spot of
decay, ever eating a little farther and
deeper into the trunk, until at las: the
tree was rotted through and fell Of its
own weight when it seemed to be at
its best.
So do many lives fall when they seem
to be at their strongest because some
sin or fault Of youth has left its
wounding and consequent weakness at
the heart.-Dr. ]. R. Miller.

Gods Double Purpose.

God manifestly has a double purpose
in view in bestowing blessings upon
an individual, namely, the good Of the
individual and the larger and wider
benefits that others may receive
through the individual. TO Abraham
BE said, Blessing 1 will bless thee,
and multiplying I will multiply thee"
1t is an experimental fact that men
are enriched in the best things by i'm
parting them to others. So it is that
graces are enriched by leading others
into gracious ways Of living. So it is
that character is improved by the WORK
of character building in others, and
truth more securely and deeply rooted
in us by teaching it to others. To shut
up ones gifts and hide ones light is to
impoverish and darken ones OWL soul.

with Indifference and GOODNESS; such
treatment of friend to friend, of broth
