thew vi, 33, "And all these things shall
be added unto you"
What is a promissory notef "Why,
you answer, "it Is a written agreement
made by one man In the interests OF
another man" There are many forms
of promlssory notes, just the same as
there are many forms Of wills and last
testaments, but as rule the legal form
Of q promissory note Is written thus:
"Ninety days after date l promise to
pay to the order of Mr.. So-and-so $o,OOO

G per cent per annum. Value received
What. l ask, can anybody write q
promissory note and get $4,000 on
written agreement like that? "Oh, no"
YOU answer, laughing. mo man can
get money at the bank on promis-
sory note unless he Is known to be
wealthy man or he can put up some
property as collateral or unless he Is

note is Of value only when 1t Is sisneo
by q name which is a satisfactory
guarantee that the note when 1t comes
due will be paid In full.
Well, then, my friends, this promis

Qrandest and best and most wld'

Hn..io,s Guarded Secret.

One Of the secret processes which has
for ages openly defied the world OF
science is the iron trade OF Russia.
The secret of making Russian sheet
iron is owned by the government, ana
when q workman enters the service ne
bids O last farewell to his family and
friends. and, whether he lives or dies,
all trace Of him is forever lost. There
have been several desperate attempts
made to steal or betray the secret, but
in every instance it has resulted In the
death of the would be traitor. In one
case a letter attached to a kite which
was allowed to escape was picked up
by some peasants, and despite theli
protestations that they were unable TO
read they were at once put to death by
the guards TO whom they delivered the
letter. 1t was afterward decreed thar
the guards themselves should pass the
remainder of their lives within uhe
works, and to this day the secret re-
mains as hidden as the philosophers

Christ's Promise.


Christ stands today in the first place
as the willing deliverer from all tenn
poral anxieties. He comes to US and
says. Friend, l will feed you; Will
clothe you; will house you for today.
But this promise does not appeal to US
very much. Why? Most of us know
where today's dinners are to come
from. But 1t Is the dinner OF tomorrow
or of next week or Of next year that
Is worrying us. Then Christ says: Il
will not only guarantee you fuil cup
hoard. q full wardrobe and q bed In
which to sleep tonight, but l will prom
ise you these temporal gifts as long as
YOU live upon earth. l Will promise
them for you next winter, next year,
ten, twenty, fifty years from now, II
YOU are alive. I will promise you all
these things II you will only trust me
| and live for me-" Then we look up In
wonder and say, what Lord, wilt
thou take away from me this awful
anxiety In reference to the future ne
cessities of life IL trust thee? Then
Christ answers: 'T will. 1 will. Thus
will do for all my disciples who obey
! me-" Then If we are true disciples OF
Christ we say: 20 God, thank thee
for taking this responsibility Of the
future off my shoulders. l roll my
heavy burdens down at thy feet" Arc
