WHERE THE HiPPOS BATTLE.
South African Lake for Which Big
Beasts Have a Liking.

A few miles from Muhokya we came
to Kikarongo, a circular lake, once a
crater, about half a mile wide, writes
q correspondent of the Westminster
Gazette from Uganda. The water is
slightly salt and is greatly appreciated
by the hippos, who come here in large
parties from Lake Ruisamba to bathe.
The lake is shallow for a few yards
only and then deepens rapidly, so the
hippos, who do not like deep water,
never go very far from the shore.
On a still day it is an amusing pas
time to sit by the lake and watch the
great brutes enjoying themselves.
For a moment nothing is to be seen,
then suddenly a score or more OF huge
heads burst through the water with
loud snorts and squirting jets Of water
through their nostrils; they stare
around with their ugly little piglike
eyes, yawn prodigiously. showing a
fearful array of tusks and a cavernous
throat, Their sink with a satisfied CUR
gle below the surface, to repeat the
performance a minute or two after
ward.
Sometimes one stands almost up
right in the water; then he rolls over
with a sounding splash, showing a
broad expanse of back like a huge
porpoise. Or a too venturesome young
bachelor approaches a select circle
Of veterans, who resent his intrusion
and drive him away with roars and
grunts. There is something irresisti-
bly, suggestive of humanity about
their ungainly gambols. Only bathing
machines are wanted to complete the
picture.

VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA.
Suffered Three Years-Physicians Did
No Good-Perfectly Well After

Il take great pleasure in informing

a very bad form for the past thres

THE STORY.

n SRAEL did not realize how COM
i pletely they were under the infiu-
ence of the people of Moab until
the king of that n~eighboring kingdom
demanded an offering from them. Up
to this time they had mingled freely
with them without apparently compro-
missing the integrity of their own ma
ton. for the strength and prestige
which Othniel had brought to the
nation continued for several years
after his death.
But as the people began to yield
to the evil e~nticements of the Moab
ties. and share in their idolatrous
feasts, they were gradually weaned
away from the worship of their own
God. And this was not all, for they
married the daughters of the Moab
ties and in turn gave them their
daughters to wife.
Thus it was when King Eglon
placed Israel under tribute hat they
had not the strength or courage to
resist. True it is that some of the
more urage who had not al
together forgotten their God and
turned from him withstood the humil-
iating demands and refused to make
payment, but when the king sent his
army through the country and had
crushed all opposition he increased
the amount of the tribute money and
made the burdens of the people griev-
Gus. And to prevent any armed re-
sistance he removed all implements OF
metal out of which weapons of war
might be made, leaving the people
only such simple tools as they need
ed fof the cultivation of the soil.
Benjamite named Ehud who was
among those who offered bold resist
ance to King Eglon, but when the lat
ter had driven him into the noun
tain Businesses and had scattered his
followers he sued for peace, and, hav-
ing apparently accepted the yoke and
rule of King Eglon, Ehud was re
stored to his lands again.
This had much to do with subduing
other rebellious spirits, for they rea-
soned that if Ehud, the mighty Ben
Jamie, was going to yieia to the
Moabitish king, it were folly for them
to withstand him and refuse to pay
tribute.
AS the years passed the oppression
became more bitter until at last the
people began to cry unto their God
for help. meeting in the v and

Disease Puzzles Doctors.

A mysterious disease is troubling
the Dutch medical profession. 1t has
broken out in the district of Ouddorp,
not far from Utrecht, and Prof.
Spronck, of Utrecht, after all the best
efforts he can devise, has had to con
fess himself perplexed. The disease
is a contagious affection of the heart,
and the patients invariably develop
high fever. There have been more
than 100 cases. Prof. Spronck has
made a careful anlysis of blood taken
from patients, but has utterly failed
to find a cause or an origin for the
epidemic.

Judgment and mercy.
However UNCONSCIOUS man
may be of the divine interven-
ton in the affairs of men, this
fact Scripture emphasizes over
and over again that God maketh
the wrath of man to praise him.
Psalm 76:10.
Here in this story of the pun
ishment of Israel at the hands OF
EeIon, and the deliverance
through Ehud we have an in
sight into the divine purpose for
man and the divine method OF
operation to bring his will to
pass.
The one purpose of God in
the world is to bring man into
harmony with his will and his
character.
And every force in the world,
consciously or unconsciously, is
working to bring this to pass.
The good forces are the posi-
tive elements, and the evil
forces are the negative, but even
the latter are overruled and con-
trolIed to the ultimate triumph
of Gods will.
This only can be appreciated
and understood as n gets
Gods viewpoint and sees as he
sees.
In this story before us we be-
hold two forces at work, those
of good and evil, and yet both
operating to the accomplish
ment of Gods will.
Israel sins erievousIy. God
must punish. How? Since the
beginning of tine God has OPP
Grated through the natural
forces of the world, and so in
the story before US, God
strengthens a neighboring king
AGAINST Israel and makes him
the instrument of his judgment.
And why does he punish?
Many an earthly parent pun
ishes his child because of anger,
ehaerin, disappointment, with
little thought CT making the pun
lshment a means of gracious dis
cipiine.
But not so God. His punish
/. ment always fits the crime, and
Is administered with the n
/. loving purpose of weaving his
: child from the evil to the good.
And the power and oppres-
: sion of evil forces is only the
; result of sin vitiating and weak
|. ening the forces of righteous
ness. Righteousness would
sweep the earth if all of Gods
children were putting away sin
!. and standing together for right
and truth.
But though we do sin and sin
brings it's punishment; though
; we do yield ourselves to the
evil influences about US, and
. that evil turns at last n
rends us, there is mercy with
. the Lord. He hears the cry OF
the repentant heart and sends
d~eliverance.
. Ehud broke the power OF Eg-
I. ion and restored Israel to. the
!. pure worship and service of
: God, but Jesus hath wrought
, more nightly for us for he hath
: broken the power of Satan and
!. restores one %eternally to the fell
lowship of God.
