OF the thousands who admired the
acting of John Mccullough Few were
aware that at sixteen he could read,
but could not write, and that at eight
cen he knew absolutely nothing Of lit
erature, perhaps not even the name
of the great poet of Avon whose tn7
terpreter he aftarward became.
In after life Mccullough used %

under whom he worked, for teaching
him two things = ''chaifmaHln and

VITALITY the old chairmaker was ae-
customed to spout shakespeare to
young Mccullough, giving somewhat
imperfect imitation of FORESTS acting
It was this that turned McCullough's
thought from chairmaklng to the stage.
Yet I'm all his after years Mccullough
was proudest OF his early craft on

Ing a lot of disagreeable things. Some
women may be good women. but they
are very coarse and stupid and i'm
polite and repulsive women. There are
women who are good and irreproacha-
BILE in character whose temper is sa
bad and whose tongues are so vitriolic
that some good men would sooner
make a pillow out Of porcupine quills
and go to sleep upon a mattress of
Canada thistles than to associate with
them. Their tongues may be as bit
ter as gall. Queen Esther never prid
ed herself upon her sharp tongue. Like
Sarah, the wife Of Abraham, she knew
that it was no disgrace for a woman to
be fair to look upon. Thus as woman
of great common sense she tried to do
Der work with sweet looks and gentle
words and not with verbal sledge ham,
mer, spear, sword, battering ram and
hurricane.
How as beautiful woman of great
common sense did Queen Esther win
her brilliant victory? In the first place.
she goes to the king and asks as an
especial favor that he, with his con-
temptible and dishonorable prime min
lister, wicked Hannah by name. would
come and take dinner some night in her
royal palace. Though this was against
the law, yet the king consented. Then
methinks l can see this beautiful wo
man preparing for her plan of battle
She puts on her most attractive robes.
She has her hairdresser intwine her
black locks in the way most becoming
to her dark Hebrew features. She
has the dining room fragrant with
flowers and adorned with the most
beautiful of tapestries. She has the
banquet table laden with the choicest
of delicacies. And while the guests are
eating and the musicians are playing
this beautiful queen picks up one of
her stringed instruments, and softly
the notes are sounded. Then she be-
gins to sing an old love song, and the
king, enraptured with her beauty.
looks at her in tender and passionate
affection. Che drops her eyes and
with a quivering voice and a heaving
breast eloquently tells the story Of
her life and how Haman wanted to
Stay her people. She paves the way
for the victory by what we may call
today Christian strategy
When you and want to win our vic
tories for Christ, do we do as Queen !
Esther did? Do we use Christian STRAIT
egg! Do we, to use a vulgar term, try
to rub people the right way? Do we i
go to them tenderly, lovingly, gently |

Faith In God.

Faith In God.
But, though Queen Esther went into
this battle for her people determined
to use Christian stratagem, yet this,
after all, was only the secondary part
Of her strength. Her great strength
came from the fact that she, first AMI
last and all the time, was depending
upon the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, the God of her people. This
beautiful queen had been brought up
in a religious atmosphere Her foster
father, MOrdecai, was q deyout wor-
shipper at the divine throne. She was
p grounded in the Hebrew faith when a
child She knew that God was omnipo-
tent and if she went forth in his
strength she might be omnipotent too.
Oh, my friends, will you and | go forth
to battle for God feeling that the di-
vine power of God is in US and that W.
through him can do all things?
How clearly the power of God can be
seen in this story. In order to in
crease your faith in the operations of
the divine power / want you to step
aside a little while from the queens
banquet hall to see how God also paves
the way for the conquest of his chill
dren. A few nights before the king
and his prime minister banqueted with
Queen Esther, Ahasuerus was unable
to sleep. Back and forward he tossed
upon his couch. Then in disgust he
said to himself: 81 cannot sleep Then

away profitably" So he began to call:
Light, guard, light! Send my secre-
tary to read to mep' Turn to the sixth
chapter of the book Of Esther: ION that
night the king could not sleep. and he
commanded to bring the book Of the
Chronicles, and they were read before
him" The book Of Chronicles was
simply the daily newspaper of olden
times. As the court secretary read Oh
he reads how Mordecai, the foster ia
Their of the queen, had ferreted out an
intended crime whereby two of the
chamberlains, Bigthana and Teresh by
name, were going to kill the king.
Then when the queen told the story of
her life and that Mordecai was her fos-
Tel 1dIICl a. oLNC lie h1llS SAID. les,
Mordecai. That is the Hebrew who
saved my life" Do you not naturally
grasp the result? At once the king was
influenced toward the Hebrews, and
this casual reading paved the way for
granting the request of the pleading
qut~sn. You say this sleepIessness of
the king was a happen so. You say
the reading of the Chronicles that night |
was little thing / say these things
were ordained of God and vital in their
after results.
Thus by the seemingly insignificant |
things of life God is paving the way /
for the benefit of his children. And |
by the seemingly Insignificant things |
lie is today paving the way for the |
salvation of some souls within our
church walls. Years ago there were
Queen Esthers pleading with Christ |
for the salvation of their dear ones. :
For years and yeays that pleading
went on. So today by a seeming in I

We follow with enthusiasm the cour-

DlIllleS or ner husband, wife should
be positive quality in the moral
world, not a negative one. An old
English author once wrote: "a good
wife should be like three things in
some ways, but in others she should
not be like. First, she should be like a
snail, to keep within her own house.
but she should not be like the snail to
carry all she has upon her back; sec
ondly, she should be like an echo, to
speak when spoken to, but should not
be like an echo always to have the last
word; thirdly, she should be like
town clock, always to keep time and
regularity, but she should not, Ike a
town clock, speak so loud that all the
town may hear her" l do not agree
with that old English writer at all. l
do not believe a woman should be IAN
echo and only speak when spoken to-
She should be like Queen Esther. She
should cease TO be the plaything OF
man. She should cease to be the hui
mOrer of masculine whims. She should
nobly and fearlessly take her position
by her husbands side and help him TO
solve the great problems of life. She.
should do this even if she has to say.
