husband happening to be absent, the young
sculptress determined to accompany this
friend without the formality OF announcing
her intention to her husband.
The assets of the two we're very limited,
and they could hope for no addition to them.
They came to New York and rented little
room in East Fourteenth street and set to
work.
One task the sculptress had determined
to accomplish was the making of bust
and a mask from it OF Nine. Blavatsky.
She had drawings she had made while with
her, such photographs as had been taken,

the artist worked hard. She had been told
that no bust OF Nine. Blavatsky would
ever be finished. but this did not check her
ardor nor alter her determination.
1t seemed for time that this prophecy
was true, and thus the bust, when nearly
completed, fell one night, though securely
placed, and was hopelessly disfgured.
This happened several times, but she con-
tinued to repeat her work, though each
time she made some alterations, as 1t seemed
to her for the better

Rural Delivery Benefits.

81 believe that rural mail delivery is
going to be one of the strongest agents
in bringing about better country
roads, "'said the man from Ankeny.
1.-THE heavy SHOWS and the deep drifts
have demonstrated that. The rule is,
you know, that the rural carrier must
deliver mail as long as the roads are
open and passable. AS a result of that
the farmers turned out last winter
when the roads drifted full. of snow
and shovelled them out so that the
mail wagons could get through. You
could find many places along the u
try roads where drifts twelve feet high
were cut through. Through these drifts
one could drive with snow twelve feet
high on either side of him. In many
places the main road was abandoned
and fields were entered through open
gates to avoid some of the deeper drifts
on the main highway.
81 look for considerable work during
the spring and summer months each
year along the roads to prevent them
getting so muddy that traffic is i'm
peded, more especially so that the rural
mail carrier can get through. The
farmer has become accustomed to re-
ceiving his mail, and now he wants it
every day and is going to do what he
can to get tides Moines Register

tina and of Zacheus of that walk to
Emmaus-how impossible to read 1t
without having our hearts burn within
us also! Luke was, truly a portrait
painter. An ancient legend said Luke
was the founder of Christian art.
Now the last and finest test OF per-
lection is unity. Passages in the book
of Luke are like gems in a royal crown.
The book is a tribute Of a reverent dis
ciple to the Lord Christ. showing His
relationship to man and striving to
convey the impression Of His personal
ity. AS if Luke should say: Cannot
you see that He embodied the univer-
sal ideal Of a perfectly God-like life;
that He over-passed human possibility
and gave in His life the evidence Of be-
ing divine?" To be appreciated the
book must be constantly and reverent-
~ read until it is fixed in the memory.
Then it will do it's constructive work in
u souls. It will encourage US, that
gospel of Luke, to let the whole Bible
have it's right Of way in our lives, and
it will suggest the way in which the
Bible can become, in our hearts, the
source Of genuine and constant up
building.

The Pulpit Vitalized.

Pulpit power, which for a time
seemed to be on the wane, is return
ing, and it is largely because the
preaching is less of a literary charac-
ter, less Of finished essays and topical
discussions, semi-secular. It is now
more vitalized and energized with the
Spirits power. Those who heard some
Of our most famouspreachers ten years
ago would scarcely believe they were
the same men speaking if heard to-day.
DR.. Gunsaulus, who used to deliver
those polished sermons in Plymouth
Church, Chicago, ten years ago, could
not hold the great audience in the
downtown auditorium which he ad-
dresses now if he used those old-time
sermons, or better ones of the same or
der. Something seemed to come into
this fine mans life a few years ago
which admonished him that nothing
but the power Of God could make a
sermon great, and he has been preach.
ing great sermons since that day. DR..
Hills used to charm a literary audience
in Central Music Hall with an essay
which glittered like a newly cut stone
from the hands Of a lapidary, but If re-
ports are true, that is not the kind Of
sermons that DR.. Hills is preaching
now. Indeed, he himself is quoted re-
Gently as saying that. %oratorical pulpit
fights are the bane Of preaching, and
that clergy and laity shared an equal
responsibility in the saving Of souls.
1.-The preacher" said DR.. Hills, must
not treat on topical subjects Sunday
after Sunday, but must preach the Cos
pei Of Jesus Christ. The church is not
the preachers field; it is his force, and
it is the man who has not crossed the
church's threshold for years upon
whom you have a claim" 1t is that
possibility which makes a preachers
work inspiring, but also tremendously
responsible. What Sabbath may he
not have among his hearers a soul that
is hungering and thirsting for the
bread and the water Of life? What ar
infinite crime to give him a stone, or
quite as bad, a handful of artificial

Dlsloyalty.

When a Christian is at peace with
any sin in his own life, when he is
reconciled to any evil habit, or be-
comes Indifferent to anything in his
own character which renders him IN
like Christ, he is disloyal to his Mas
ter. In like manner, when a citizen
of the Kingdom of God is at peace
with any sin of society, becomes rec
onciled to any evil habits of the com
munity or Indifferent to anything that
is inconsistent with the full coming
of Gods Kingdom on earth, he is dis
loyal to the kingdom.-Josiah Strong,
