and thence flows down to men, and of the faith that receives this message of love and rejoices in it. and of the life which this faith brings into the being of men. believe that for you and for me to hear that story and for us to so watch our days as to discover that it is true story,
 JUST AS TRUE AS IT IS BEAUTIFUL; I believe that is the end of our living, the purpose of our coming into the world; I believe that it is the wisest education and the truest religion. That we may learn that story by heart and see it with our eyes and hear it with our ears and tell it with our lips and show it in our lives. That is the deepest joy and the greatest blessing in human life. When we have learned to see far off. stretching beyond all bounds of conceiving or imagining, the illimitable Ocean of Gods love. and to see near by flowing through the world the beautiful river of Gods love, and to lift our lips by our faith out of that river a personal individual word of Gods love, and to take for ourselves a draught of the water of life, which is the gift of Gods love. When thus we have learned that this is the burden of the word of the Lord.-"I have loved you, saith the Lord,"-then I think we will be able to repeat in peace the prayer of a wise. good man who said: "Lord, use me as thou wilt, and turn me this way and that; only stay with me until eventide, and then may l put my hand in thine, as the hand of a little child that is led out in the dark. |" And so we will walk by faith in the and the power of the love of God.

about all the world. That becomes our faith, our acceptance of the cheer full Christian teaching and our refusal of the hard, hopeless, evil thought about life and about the world. Now, I know no other way to get this faith than to take it, than to try it, than to say this is the best of all thoughts, the most glad, the most hopeful and will try it; will prove it and see whether it be not true, I will try putting it in to my own life, will try to show it to others and see if it is con- tirmed by the years and by experiences; l will experiment for my self and see whether there be, as Christ said, in this world power of the love of God. As for me and my house we will try to serve God of love; so say ing, SO doing, l believe we become Christians in our thought of the world, we become Christians in our practice of life-we do this when we come un- der the power of faith in the love of God, trying to discern it in ourselves, 0AN OuA o"A "0JoS yAA6 OO Ao'~~A ~ by our ways unto others. That is the pitcher which will take of the water and lift it to our lips, and by which also we may give cup of cold water unto some other child of God.
 Then the draught-the refreshing which this pitcher of faith lifts to our lips-the draught which Gods love brings, what is it? It is life. It is the water of life. It is larger, diviner, more hopeful, more blessed, more beau tiful life It is the eternal life. Who- soever believeth shall not perish but have everlasting life. As you and l strive to live by this faith in love, we find a new life that is the teaching of this text. As we practice the thought of the love of God, we
 TOUCH A NEW NOTE IN THE MELODY
 OF BEING.
 If man comes, as his last thought of things, to the idea that chance rules; that there is no control over the world, ,or to the thought that evil rules and there is only bad and sad control over the world, or ever that goodness is weak and trying it's best, fails to control the world; in all of these thoughts or faiths it seems to me the end is death, the end is life downcast, despairing, 'embittered darkness. All hopeless and forlorn-the end of such faith or thought is just death, the death of every best feeling, every best ambition, every best desire and hope. If it should last forever, that hopeless faith, it would be an eternal death; if one should never rise out of it, should never come either in life or in death to another or brighter or better thoughtful would be an eternal death l indeed. it would be intending misery | and woe. It would be hell, place of terrible and unceasing disaster and | dismay to get any other

thought than that sin was on the throne-and things were of the snake that would it be, wh at else could it be if the final thought of any heart which never changed and never frightened was that wrong or carelessness or weakness ruled the world and the des- tiny of men. But if not these, not other thought message of Christ; this word of love came to human life | and ruled it, and grew in it ever to larger place and acceptance. If that came then would come life, and if that lasted, continuing on through life and death, then would it be unto us eternal life, everlasting life. To those who receive and live in this teaching of the Love of God, and prove it, and find it true-these receive of the life, the eternal life which came down from God and was>manifested unto us, the word which Gods love speaks to in dividual souls is a word of life. I do not think any heart can come to be- lieve in the exceeding and gracious love of God and think that the gift of that love at the end of all is death; such thoughts do not agree. The gift of love is life as surely from God as from us. Whom we love we do not give to death, but we give them as much of life as ever we. can, as much of life's health and enjoyment and glad work. Love abhors death as na- turally as does nature vacuum; and that quality must persist in the love of God. Every suggestion therefore of divine goodness and divine love is promise of life. That is just what this text ayers. The draught of the cup of love is everlasting life. How could God love men and not want them to stay alive with Him? Those whom men love they desire to live with them So the gift of Gods love is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, as the Bible says: and as we receive into our hearts this teaching and thought of divine love we lift to our lips the cup of life, we taste draught of the water of life. Why, to me, friend, it would be worse infidelity, a worse lack of faith than to say there is no God, worse than that, to say there is God who lives Himself but He does not love enough to want those individuals whom He loves to live. That last would be an even more impossible ] thought than to say there is no God. If there is love above the draught of it to the lips of men must be life. Because we believe in Gods love we also believe in

 the heart of God, and it has been for

ASAAoS o0AOuSA AAAO "OlN03 Uu1Ouku His life, a stream of love flowed out of the heart of God, and it has been for the healing of the nations. Jesus came to tell common people about the love of God. He made that message His business He called it His Fath- er's business. And I think when we come to know God as we'll as we do the life of Jesus in history, when we know God, the Father, as we'll as the historic life of Christ, think that we will see that it was God s business and always is to let the world know about love. God sends all his children, just as He sent His only begotten son, the first born among many brethren, so God sends all His children that through their love and work, one for another, they may teach each other about the love of God. That is the river of love that floweth out of the sea of love and watereth this world; this love in human hearts, rising out of the divine heart, this love it is which brings the pure waters down out of heaven above and sets them run ming in our earthly ways, fertilizing the fields of life and cleansing the paths of life, and cooling the heats of life, and the sons and daughters of men walk beside their earthly waters of Gods love and find green pastures there. So every beautiful thing of kindness and sympathy and comfort and cheer that ever flows out of hu- man life and touches another human life is just like this beautiful life of the kindness and comfort and love and cheer of Jesus Christ--it is a river that flows out of the love of God above

THE BIRD OF DEATH.
1t Is the Only VenOmOus Member Of
the Feathered Tribe.

1t Is the Only Venomous Member Of
the Feathered Tribe.
Among I'LL the thousands Of feathered
creatures classified by the trained or
nitholo-ists but one, the rpir n'doob,
OF bird Of DEATH" is known to be ven.
omous. This queer and deadly species
of the winged and feathered tribe is u
native of the island of Papua, or New
Guinea. The bird Is described as be-
ing about the size Of common tame
pigeon, of gray plumage and tail of
extraordinary length, ending in tip
Of brilliant scarlet red. 1t is q marsh
bird and is found to inhabit only the
immense stagnant pools adjoining the
lakes Of the interior Of the island. The
rpir has hooked beak as sharp as q
cocks spur and hollow. The venom
with which it inoculates is distilled in
a set of organs which nature has pro-
vided for that purpose and which lie in
the upper mandible, just below the
openings Of the nostrils. Under this
poison secreting laboratory in the roof
Of the mouth is small fleshy knob.
When the bird sets its beak in the
flesh of victim this knob receives a
pressure which liberates the venom
and inoculates the wound. No man,
native or otherwise, was ever known
to recover from a bite inflicted by a
rpir n'doob The suffering in such
cases is said to be much more agoniz-
ing than in cases Of rattlesnake and
ella monster bites.

WIN. CUsHMAN,
Hunters Have Good Success.

The hunting season in the "Highlands
of Ontario during the year 1905 was
probably the most successful that has
been experienced, both az regards the
number of hunters and the results
secured.
The information to hand shows that
6, 425 licenses were issued including 422
nonresident licenses, 203 resident moose
licenses, and $500 resident deer licenses.
It is estimated that $4,000 deer were
killed during the fifteen days OF the
open season, between November LIST and
18th. Of the moose, some $50 heads
were taken out, mostly from the Tema-
gami district, about 100 of which were
taken from that territory. This Is
large increase in comparison with the
season of 1904 when only % heads were
secured in that locality. This large
increase is accounted for by the fact
that the country was made easy of
access last year via the Grand Trunk
Railway System and Temiskaming q
Northern Ontario Railway, whereas the
difficulties in former years of reaching
the hunting grounds debarred many
lEOm moAihS WIG ose0MP" INV
Express Company alone carried 2,796
deer weighing S06,395 lbs, an increase
over 1904 of pa carcasses. The largest
shipments were made from Burk's Falls,
the starting point fer the Maganetawan
River Region; Huntsville, Lake of Bays
district; Muskoka Wharf, Muskoka
Lakes district; Powassan, and Scotia
Junction, the diverging point for the
territory contiguous to the Ottawa
Division of the Grand Trunk Railway
System. The number carried by all ex-
press companies was $3.50 deer. This
amount, of course, does not give any
idea of the number killed as many of the
deer are used for food in the woods and
many are transported by other means
than the transportation companies.
Instead of the diminution of num-
bers, the deer and moose In the "High-
lands of Ontario and New Ontario are
increasing, the woods are full of them
and the game laws are 80 we'll put in
force by the Ontario Government that
good hunting in that territory is assured
for years to come.
