"Take your Bible, and carefully

verses, but the letters from the be-
ginning of Genesis to the Amen of
the Revelation; and when you have
accomplished the task. go over it again
and agaln-ten times, twenty, forty
times-nay, you must read the very
letters of your Bible eighty times over
before you have reached the requisite
sum. 1t would take something like the
letters of eighty Bibles to represent the
men, women and children of that old
and wondrous empire. Fourteen hun
dred of them have sunk into Christian

Questions and the Answer TO Every

In the midst of small village green
A speaker stood up on chair,
Talking temperance truth to the grownup
youth,
And he babe them Of liquor beware
He told of the evils Of drink.
How it made people sorrow and moan,
Not for work or for play was it good
anyway!
So they'd far better leave it alone.
Now just at the edge of the green
Was drunken man perched on a fence;
And he would have his say, and was shout.

For the drink had bereft him of sense
And he cried, "What you say is all stuff.
You say beer is no good? Why"-said
"a poor fellow would sink il he hadn't a
drink;
why-it.s meat, drink and clothing to
mel"
As he waved his hand over his head
His balance was lost in flash,
And he fell in ditch full OF water and
sauitch
And how he did founder and splash;
And the lecturer quantity remarked,
"In future, my friend, you can tell
That the beer you suppose is your meat,
drink and clothes,
Finds YOU lodgings and washngs as
WE'LL"

In n Bible class recently the teacher
was telling of the various translations
of the Bible and their different excel
lences. He spoke of Jerome's vulgate,
of Luther's German Bible. of our own
King james version, and of the Re
vised Version, and how it was made.
The class was much Interested, and
one of the young men that evening
was talking to n friend about it.
81 think prefer the King James
version for my part" he said, though.
OF course, the Revised is more schol-
arly."
His friend smiled
81 prefer my mothers translation Of
the Bible myself to any other version"
he said.

young man, thinking his companion
had suddenly gone crazy. What do
you mean. Fred?'
81 mean that my mother has trans
lated the Bible into the language of
daily life for me ever since was old
enough TO understand it," said Fred.
"She translates it straight. too. and
gives it full meaning There has never
been any obscnrity about her version.
Her everyday life is "A translation of
Gods Word that Il child can read. and
that st. Jerome could not better. What
ever printed version of the Bible may
study. my mothers is always the one
that clears up my difficulties"

SOLID BODY OF FISH.
Pennsylvanla Lake Has Too Many Of
the Flnny Tribe.

Lying between two hills not far
from Hughesvile Is small body OF
water known as "Converse's ice DAM"
or FISH DAM" that Is so full of tse
finny tribe that apparently 1t Is i'm
possible for fish Ave inches long to
swim straight. The small fish are on
top and the large ones below and in
order for fisherman or fsherwoman
to get the bait down TO the big fellows
1t Is necessary to make a hole in the
water and carefully drop the hook
down through the wriggling mass. On
June / Mrs. Irwin Converse and Miss
Gladys Koch were at the dam making
determined efforts to hook some OF
the under ones. The little fellows on
top, however, made such fierce at
tacks on the bait that their hooks,
time after time, were instantly cleared
as soon as they touched the water
Many of the little fellows were pulled
out in order TO make room for the
hooks, but the task had not been &C.
complished when the reporter left the
scene.--Willla Transport Sun.

What One Keg of Beer Cost.

The saloonkeeper in whose possession
it was said he paid $1.25 for it. A
couple of men came in and asked for
some beer. He drew them each mug

cents apiece. They liked 1t and called
for another and another. After drink
ing three or four they began to get
drunk. They kept on and got thorough
ly intoxicated. Then they began to
quarrel and finally one man killed the
other. 1t cost the county of Los An
geles, in which the event occurred.
$50 900 to get the murderer arrested

cost at least the sum of $l.25, one life,
and $32,0 900. quite Il sum to pay for
so small a thing.-New Voice.

The Lord is the hearer of prayer.
There should be waiting on Him. not
only in the assembly of His people, not
only with the attitude of reverent re-

the Psalmist puts. it: Truly my soul
waiteth upon God" For salvation. for
protection, He is to be sought; and
whatever the trouble of our lives. we
shus get stability.
What can we ask? The fulfilment OF
the exceeding great and precious prom
ises. But what plea can we present,
weak and sinful as we are? The name
that Is above every name-the name OF

thing with all your might. DO not
add act to act and day to day in per-
feet thoughtlessness. never asking
yourself whittier the growing time is
leading. But at the same time, do not
dare to be so absorbed in your own
life, so wrapped mp in listening to the
sound of your own hnrrying wheels.
that all this vast pathetic music made
up of the mingled joy and sorrow of
your fellowmen. shall not find out your
heart and claim il, and make you re-
joice to give yourself up for them.
And yet. all the while keep the upward
windows open. Do not dare TO think
that n child of God can worthily work
out his career or worthily serve Gods
other children unless he does both in
The love and fear OF God their Father.
BE sure that ambition and charity will!
both grow mean unless they are both
inspired and exalted by religion. En-
crgy, love aud faith-these make the
perfect man. And Christ, who is the

all three to any young man who. at the
very outset of his life, gives himself
to Him. II there is any young man
who generously wants to live a whole

stands ready to give these three-en-
ergy. love and falkland to train them
in him altogether till they make him
