The Eleven Lost DAYS.

The II days from September 8 to

ing once been entirely omitted from
the calendar Of the Anglo-Saxon world
The Gregorian calendar was not
adopted by the British empire until
lI51, long after most other nations of
the civilized world had conformed
with it. In that year an act of parlia-
ment prescribed that the next year,
1852, should begin on January |, in

ly been the rule, and that in the fol-
lowing September these IL days should
be dropped from the calendar the
day following September 2 being
known as September IA. Stirring
times those were, too, in which DAYS
were not lightly to be spared from a
year, with Give conquering India and
Washington beginning the conquest Of
the Ohio valley. But the procession
OF the equinoXes took no note of
trifleS like these, which could be ac-
complished as well under one calen-
darial style as another. II may be
observed that, while Gregory dropped
only ten days from 1882, II days had
to go from 1852, and Russia would
have to drop 10 from 1906 to square
her dates with the rest of the world

THE STORY.

Y HERE was general feeling of Ella
tion among the Hebrew spies as
they went into camp at Hebron that
night They knew that they could not
be far distant now from the place
where their people lay encamped at
Kadesh. Something over a month had
now passed since they had gone forth
TO search out the land which God had
promised to Abraham and his seed for.
ever, and it is not strange that all
were eager to be back amidst friends
ana loved ones again. That had been
momentous journey. Following the
course of the Jordan valley they had
gone far towards the north and then
turning westward had come to Rehob
lying on the welltraveled route to
Klamath, the mountain pass in the
northern frontier of the land. From
thence they had passed on up through
the country OF the Sidonians and the
'pmhstines and came at last to the
wild and picturesque mountain section
OF Hebron, where they had gone into
camp
And while they waited the return of
two of their number who had gone ont
to reconnoiter, they talked over the
experiences OF the past month. and
discussing the land through which
they had passed. The natural beauty
and fruitfulness of the country had
deeply impressed them. How good
the grains and fruits had tasted after
their plain. monotonous fare in the
wilderness, and eye and palate had
pronounced the land good. And they
talked enthusiastically of the time
when they should enter in and dwell
in the midst of such scenes and plenty.
But notwithstanding the citation over
the charm of the land and its fruitful.

mate friends. Strangers are looked
upon, in sense, as intruders. and as
such they are not encouraged. But
open-hearted Yankees extend the
hand of good fellowship to every well
appearing stranger that comes along.
Even tramps are fed out of sympathy,
and not by hard charity methods, as
they are in Europe. Sometimes we
suffer loss, annoyance and inconven-
fence because of entertaining rascals
that present themselves in the guise
OF gentlemen, but such instances are
comparatively rare.

Strange World Tour.

A story is told in Paris of titled

Viscomte Jacques de Gruart laid a
wager of $50, 900 that he and his bride,
to be married in the day of departure,
could make tour of the world, living
on the earnings of the vicomte's brush.
There was no stipulation as to time.
The pair have just reached Paris on
their return, after successfully &C.

ersed Euroupe, America, Africa and

meager profits of the vicomte's brush.

SERMON TTE.

SERMONETTE.
While the Scripture narrative
indicates that the project of
sending the spies had the d.
vine sanction, even to instruc-
tons being given as to the meth
DDS to be pursued, still we must
remember that the land was
israeI's by right of inheritance
and was the place whither God
was leading them, and hence
there could be no question as to
its fruitfuIness, or as to the Ger
tainty of its occupancy by Israel.
These facts suggest then that it
was lack of faith rather than
diVineiy inspired wisdom that
prompted this course of action,
ard remind US of that infinite
patience which God manifests
in dealing with His children.
God permitted the spying out of
the land because faith was not
large enough to go up at once
and possess it, and that first
misstep opened the way for
those other sins of unbeIief
which shut them out of the
promised land and dotted the
wilderness with numberIess
graves.
So to-day, God leads the soul
TO the borderIand of some great
opportunity, some rich posses
sion, and instead of confidently
going forward the soul sends
out it's spies to search the land,
the giants of difficulties and dan
gers are seen, the walled cities
Of seemingly insurmountable OBJ
staeies are discovered, and the
soul draws back in dismay and
cries: We are not able to 90 up
and possess it. All, soul, thou
VINO art face to face with the
promised land of better things
each day, look up and see the
Lord standing at thy side ready
to go with thee, put thy trust in
Him, and 90 forward for He that
is for thee is greater than they
which be against thee. Re-
member that if God be for thee,
WHO can be against thee. Let
rot thy unkeIief shu: thee out

Faith is the Christians reduc.
ing glass through which dangers
and difficulties appear small and
Insignificant.
An evil report is the expires.
sion of an unbelieving heart.
Spying out the land to which
Gcd has promised to lead you,
and give you, may be wise pre-.
caution, but it needs to be ball
anced by faith that faIters not
and a courage which knows no
fear.
It took Israel 30 years to re-
cover the opportunity of enter
ing the promised land which
they lost in 90 days. So is often
to-day the experience of the
Christian. He forfeits years of
blessing through failure to go
, forward in faith to the place
God has pointed out.
Those 90 days might better
have been spent in going for
ward than in holding back and
