Justice Reisns Supreme.

In this God's-world, with it's Wild
whirling eddies and mad foam-oceans,
where men and nations perish as II
without law, and judgment for an IN
just thing is sternly delayed, dost thou
think that there is, therefore, no JUS
tice?
It is what the fool hath said In his
heart. It is what the wise, in all times,
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 find here below:
the just thing, the true thing. Ny
friend, if thou hadst all the artillery
of Woolwich trundling at thy back in
support of an unjust thing, and IN.
finite bonflres visibly waiting ahead
Of thee to blaze centuries long for thy
victory on behalf of it, I would advise
thee to call halt, to fling down thy
baton and say, I'm Gods name, No.!

The Hidden Sin.

A majestic tree fell at its prime-fell
on a calm evening, when there was
scarcely a breath of air stirring. 1t
had withstood century Of storms and
now was broken off by zephyr.
The secret was disclosed at its fall
ing. A boys .hatchet had been struck
into it when it was 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, a spot OF
decay, ever eating little farther and
deeper into the trunk, until at last 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. J. R. Miller.

men. Ordinarily people have poor
training for such exalted spiritual con-
ceptions as are presented by the Son
of Mary. We are schooled to earthly
things, circumstances assign most OF
our time and energy to temporal occu-
pations; we live in a world Of sense.
and the constant tendency is to say
that the only things that are worth
while are the things which are seen.
There are doubts which proceed FROM
pride and conceit; there are people
who are convinced that it is time to
break away from a religion which
was instituted nearly 1000 years ago;
there are those who are seriously per-
suaded that they know entirely too
much for them to consent to accept the
Gospel Of Bethlehem and Calvary, the
Holy Sepulchre and the Mount of o.
ives. Of course they deny our plat
form-they say that Jesus was not
the Son of God. To us who believe in
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 OF
them. we should remember every mo-
ment in the face of mysteries and
contradictions and of alleged Qfenses
against the intellect that the Founder
Of Christianity could have made no
mistake because He was the Son or
God.
Christianity is divine because OF the
divinity of the Founder, and it 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 "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, 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.

Gods Double Purpose.

God manifestly has 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
He said, Blessing I will bless thee:
and multiplying will multiply thee"
It 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 own soul.

HISTORY OF Shoes
IN No Article Of Attire Have More
Vagaries Been Shown.

Shoes, or their equivalent, are Of
certainty even more ancient than
gloves, for they were a necessity OF
locomotion, while the other was but a
luxury. Sometimes they were made
of skins, sometimes Of papyrus, as in
Egypt. Often they were gilded and
decked with jewels, and the most ex-
pert artists Of the day were employed
to decorate the foot-coverings OF
wealthy patricians, consuls, emperors
and their favorites. In no article Of
attire have more vagaries been
shown. Today a lady who desires to
be considered in the height OF fash
ion wears shoes pointed AZ mucn as
possible, but in the time Of Queen
Mary the taste was all the other way,
and it was found necessary to issue
royal proclamation prohibiting shoes
with toes wider than SIX inches. But
perhaps the most extraordinary de-
velopment in the way Of footgear
were the "chopines" introduced BY
the ladies of Venice to make them
selves taller than they really were.
The articles were really a kind OF
stilts made Of wood and leather, and
sometimes reached the absurd height
OF twelve inches. Even a trained
acrobat would have difficulty IN walk
ing on such things, and ordinary
women had such trouble with them
that when the yattempted a prone
made they required the assistance OF a
servant at each side and another be-
hind to keep them from falling.-Red'

Relative Strength Of Jap and
Russian Sea Fighters.
OUTCOME CONJECTURAL
While Car Has More Battleships Mi

Cruisers and Effective Tor.
pedo Boats.

In view of the impending battle be-
tween the Russian and Japanese fleets,
the following comparison as to
strength will be found interesting:
misunderstanding, seven; armored
cruisers and armored coast defense
vessels, two; protected cruisers, elev-
en-: transports and converted liners
(estimated), twenty.
Japan-Battleships four or five;
armored cruisers and armored coast
defense vessels, ten; protected cruls'
ers, twelve; transports and convert
ed liners (estimated), ten.
Total-Russia, so; Japan, 36 or 81.
The exact strength of the two fleets
in gins cannot be told exactly, be-
cause the armament Of the Russian
volunteer feet and of the twenty odd
TRANSPORTS is not known in detail.
But in a general way the following
estimate will show the relative
strength Of the squadrons:
Russia-12-inch guns, "a; 1O-inch
guns, four; S.inch guns, eight: 6-inch
guns, $50 to 200; smaller guns (esti-
mated at 80 for battleships and Is for
all other vessels), 675; total gil.
Japan-12-inch guns, % to 26; 10
inch guns, five; S-inch guns, "a; T.
inch guns, 100; smaller guns (esti-
mated at 80 for battleships and Is for
all other vessels), $50; total ss5.
Total guns, both fleets, 1,796.
In this table it will be seen that
the Russians have the advantage in
mum bers, but are so deficient in ar
mored cruisers that they stand very
Door show against the Japanese fleet.
The ten swift, well-armed and well
manned armored cruisers which Togo
has constitute, possibly, a more for
midable fighting unit than his four or
five more heavily armed and armored
battleships. During the Spanish
American war the S-inch rifles with
which these cruisers are armed were
even more effective than the IL or 13.
inch guns. The latter, Of course, do
more damage, but they are slower,
harder to aim and register a much
smaller number Of hits than the
former.
However, the 6-inch rife is also q
wonderfully effective arm and the
Russian auxiliary cruisers, converted
linSrs and transports are probably
crowded with them. An exact estt-
mate of the strength Of the two fleets
in respect to this gun is, therefore,
impossible.
In protected and auxiliary cruisers,
the Russians have the advantage.
Their scout vessels Of from $500 to
$500 tons, are new, very fast and
very effective, as the little Novik
proved at Port Arthur. In battle
they are everywhere, and nowhere
and can brave heavy fire with sur
prising impunity.

Be in Earnest.

There are many human forces tnat
make for accomplishment, and the
greatest of these is earnestness.
Enthusiasm is the fash; earnestness
the steady glow. 1t is that quality
which shines through and glorifies the
simplest deeds and plainest words.
Earnestness improves where all else
is powerless. If you are in earnest,
ideas will develop, plans and methods
will suggest themselves and results
will follow.
No one can work earnestly unless he
is a downright believer in the OBJECT
for which he is working, and wlli:ns
