Paris. April 1.-THE dispatch from
Saigon announcing the presence of the
Russian warships at Kamranh bay, is
considered as showing Rojestvensky is
pected. The fact that Admiral De
Jonauieres, French naval commander
at Saigon, is proceeding to Kamranh
bay and the departure from Saigon
last night of a vessel having on board
cargo OF Russian stores, combine to
indicate the Russian rendezvous is not
far distant from Saigon and that prob

The Thing worth While.

know that many of you are puzzled
to know in what direction you can
start to help Christ to help the world.
Let me say this to you in that connec-
ton:
Once l came to a crossroad in the
old life and did not know in which
direction God wanted men to help
hasten His kingdom. started to read
the Book to find out what the ideal life
was, and l found that the only thing
worth doing in the world was to do
the will of God; whether that was
done in the pulpit or in the slums;
whether 1t was done in the college
or class room, or on the street did not
matter at all. MY meat and drink"
Christ said sis to do the will of Him
that sent Me-" and il you make up
your mind that you are going to do
the will of God above everything else,
it matters little in what direction you
work
There are more posts waiting for men
than there are men waiting for posts.
Christ needs men in every community
and in every land; it matters little
whether we 80 to foreign lands or
stay at home, as long as we are sure
we are where God puts us.-Henry

In Wiser Hands.

A lady, who had been three or four
years away from her cblldhood's home
and settled in one of her own, was
taken seriously i'll. Her mother, with
all mothers solicitude, was anxious
to be with her daughter at once, and
fastened to her bedside. She found
skllful physicians in attendance and a
trained nurse in charge; there was
really nothing for her to do--nothing
that she could be permitted to do.
Day after day she made brief, silent
visits to the sick room (even her pres
ence could not be allowed long, and
went away powerless to aid. The
ministering was in wiser, more efficient
hands than hers, and she could not be
trusted with it-would not have dared
to trust herself with 1t.
"But it seems strange" she said,
sadly, one day, that even l, her
mother, can only stand aside and do
nothing. There never before wasn't n
time when mother wasn't the one to
help and comfort; it seems rs if it
ought to be so still, and yet l would
be afraid to do anything but keep
hands off and trust to knowledge
and strength that is greater than my
own"
1t is the same in many a spiritual
crisis through which we see our dear
ones pass. We long to lift the burden.
to tighten the trials, to bestow the
covered gift; but the Great Physician
holds the precious soul in His hands,
the hands that will make no mistake.
and we can only stand aside and trust
Him.-Forward.

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANcE.

Little Temperance Lecture--The ZEE.
perienoe of Drunken Man on the
Bowery, as Related in tho New yorir
Sun why Drink IL Not Good.
There is much foolish talk about how
a man can reform from liquor. In the
first place, no man who has any sense
and knows thoroughly the effects OF
drink would ask such a question.
The Bowery saloons illustrate to us
the main thoroughfare where liquor Is
sold In large quantities. and IL is there
that various respectable men are driv.
EN- to drink, through the efforts OF
probably some of their friends, who
make the Bowery their principal hang
out.
A man when he is drunk thinks he
has great pleasure, but when he finds
out the results of it either by landing
in a police station or being injured
physically. he realizes that drink is NOT
as good as he thought.
Practically the same man Is made o
fool of by his neighbors, who tell other
people about him. He Is disllked, and
finds out that he cannot get place to
work. He Is ashamed of the world
and may be either killed or he mny
commit suicide.
will illustrate with little story:
One summers day In 1903 a drunken
man. in appearance good looking
and respectable gentleman. was parad.
ing up and down the Bowery having
a gala time. In one of his coat pockets
was gold watch and a valuable dla.
mond pin was in his necktie. He was
approached and set upon by two thugs,
VINO came out of n hallway near by
and struck him on the head so that
he at once became senseless. They
carried him into neighboring house
and took from him his valuable arti.
cles. a policeman was seen to pass by
when all hostilities were over, and he
noticed the man lying down on the
floor near a hallway. He called for
assistance. and they sent the man 70
the hospital where medical aid was
secured.
This goes to show what happens to
man, boy or woman when they are
drunk. and | advise all to keep away
from it. and if they take my advice
they will be very thankful TO me when
they get older.-Frank Albert, in the
New York Sun.

Selections.
Mr.. Maclaren compares human love
to the Venus of Milo, which, though
a statue of most magnificent qualities
as a work Of art, has no arms. II
may smile In pity but has no arms
to aid; 1t may look on in sympathy,
but has no power 20 help.
Many a time human love stands
helpless, armless. impotent to aid
but in Jesus Christ we have One who
is not only matchless in beauty and
grace, but is mighty to save.-Rev.
f. ID. Kelsey.
The one who wishes to do good to
others can find a field anywhere
Those who need the ministry OF help
and sympathy lie all about us. Most
eyes are too dull to see the need.
The duty of one who is healed is
immediate. No time for longer re-
Election belongs to him. The heart
which has been ministered unto
should minister Immediately to others.
When Christ restores, he means that
the restored one should take up his
work, and continue 1t by aiding to
restore others.
"a physician once said that he
kept himself in health by going to
continued this, and required his
patients to come to him, or when he
tried to abandon his practice he
speedily became lethargic, stupid. and
dull; but when he resumed his efforts,
and tried and tested his powers, he
recovered his strength and vigor. So
many a Christian man would find
spiritual health and strength in trying
to bring others to us."-Hulbut.
There are in the Bible nine terms
for sin,-debts, missing the mark,
lawlessness, disobedience, transgres.
sion, fault (moral alteration de-
feat, impiousness. dis-harmony or dis
cord. For all these kinds of sin we
need forgiveness And there are as
many words for forgiveness as for
sin-forgive, remit, send away, cover

cleanse, make them as If they had
never been.

Effects on the Normal.

Professor Kraepelin, of Heidelberg
has been engaged for n long time on
an investigation into the various effects
of alcohol on users in normal healthy
condition. He has found the use OF
half an ounce of spirits, equivalent to
an ordinary glass of whisky, affects
all of the vital functions of the user
both physical and mental. Having
first found what an individual could
do in normal condition, he observed
the same person thirty minutes after
taking the spirits and found that il
the healthy vision will enable the sub,
ject to read letters thirty feet away.
after using the ounce of spirits he can.
not read them more than from eighteer
TO twenty-five feet away. A CORES
ponding result was observed In the
ability to discriminate colors; also il
was noted that forms and shapes were
blurred and indistinct. This palsy OF
the vision is, of course, much more
marked in the case of drunken man
Similar results were perceived in the
action of all the senses.

Picture In DISGUISE.

Many and strange have been the VI
cissitudes of some of the worlds
greatest pictures, and a fine painting
which now graces Lord Leighs resi-
dence in Warwickshire, Eng, has an
interesting history. This remarkable
picture, which for some years consist
ed OF painting of flowers, was pro-
nounced by an art dealer to be merely
mask for some other picture, and on
his receiving permission he gradually
cleaned on the flowers, discovering
underneath very fine portrait OF

that the portrait was thus disguised in

the Roundheads at the time of the

Better weather has greatly improved
trade in many sections OF the country,
Spring merchandise being distributed
freely by jobbers, while retail business
and mercantile collections are more nor
NAL. Interior buyers are placing liberal
orders in the large cities, and prepara-
tion Tor structural work are being llur-
red. Manufacturing lines have made
splendid progress since the opening Of
the year, especially the various divisions
OF the steel industry, and textile mills
are well engaged. Shoe shops have am
pie Spring business, but orders for Fall
delivery are delayed by the recent adj
vance in prices that was nccessitated by
higher cost of productions particularly
as to the raw material.
In almost every branch of business
there is confidence in active trade with
the appearance OF settled weather. Win
ter wheat IS in good condition, but cot
ton planting will average much later than
last year. Prices of commodities are still
firm
Progress is most pronounced in the
iron and steel industry. A very liberal
tonnage OF pig iron has been purchased,
