CHOICE OF W. EVILS.
Request That Was by No Means a
Compliment for Papa.

A New York scientist, the father of
a large and growing family, has his
troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth in her best style.
The mother could do nothing with the
child, so the man Of science went to
the rescue.
Il think | can quiet little Flora" he
said. There's no use humming to her
in that silly way. What she wants is
real music. The fact that | used to
sing in the Glee club at Yale and sang
well, too, may make a difference"
Accordingly, the professor took the
child and, striding up and down the
room, sang in his best manner. He
had not finished the second verse of
his song, when a ring vas heard. The
door was opened, and there stood a
girl of IA, who said:
I'm one of the family that's just
moved into the fiat next to yours.
There's a sick person with US. and he
says, If it's all the same to you, would
you mind letting the baby cry instead
of singing to it?"-Success.

wonderful Engineering WORK.

The admirable accuracy OF the work
Of civil engineers Of the best class is
shown in the wonderfully slight devi.
alton of the great Simplon tunnel from
the calculations Of the men who
planned II and executed the work.
The tunnel Is 12h miles long. It
proved 81 inches longer than 1t was
expected to be. When the two head
ings anne together in the depths Of
the mountain their levels were less
than 81 inches apart.

An Artistic Idea,

II don't mind paying for a picture
II it's a good, natural likeness" said
the rich man to the fashionable ar.
list, to whom he was to sit for his
portrait.
20, 1t is quite characteristic and
natural, ! assure you" replied the ar.
fist. Il flatter myself that easy atti-
tude with your hand in your pocket
Is quite a neat touch"
And SO 1t proved when the bill came
In.

< A corrupt priesthood, a low
\ state Of spiritual life in the ma
! ton, which encouraged a super
q stitious regard for the outward
Y signs and symbols Of religion,
< led the children of Israel into
\ the sacrilege Of bringing the ark
! forth from the holy of holes and
q using II as fetish to give
\ them victory over their enemies.
Z They had seen the heather ma
= tons about carrying their gods
4 into battle. Why should they
& not find in their religion similar
encouragement and help? And
z SO the army Of Israel, defeated
y in the preliminary sklrmish with
x the PhiIistines, takes up the cry,
. saying. "Let US fetch the ark Of
! the covenant of the Lord out Of
z Shiloh unto US, it may save US
Y out of the hand of our enemies"
4 This they did, the corrupt and
= base sons of Eli giving ready
consent and going with the ark
< into battle. And what follows
Y is but the inevitable fruitage Of
4 this long series Of sinful acts.
q Defeat and destruction for the
Y army of Israel, loss of the sacred
. emblem of Gods presence in
their midst, and bitter servitude
q to their victorious foe.
z What lessons may be drawn
. from this dark period, from
these tragic events. First of all,
) we must recognize the immi-
nence of God in all the affairs
Z of life. Though he was forgot
. ten and dishonored he was
. moving In human events to the
, vindication of his name and the
punishment of sin. We here find
( but the fulfillment of what God
\ said would some to pass. Gods
. warning had come to the house
7 of Eli, but regardless of the mes
! sage, the sons of Eli and the ma.
. ton of Israel plunge to their
\ ruin. We may forget God, we
b may be living In sin and yet
7 strive to maintain an outward
Z form of religious observance, un-
til at last the mere ceremonial j
!, becomes the fetish, the charm, :
D the talisman which we think
Z will give us help and d~eIiverance
Y In the dark hour. In that fatal I
< hour Of battle Israel discovered !
. that their help did not lie In '
D that mere creation of wood and ,
Z gold; that its presence with ,
I them, and the careful observance I
\ Of their forms of worship did not !
. insure them victory. And so is )
! it ever true. Religion is a thing !,
apart from things and outward
( forms and ceremonies. Reli- :
\ eion Is a thing of the heart, and !,
! the heart cannot become the /,
D holy of holes in which God will /,
( take up his dwelling place ex. ,
( cept as sin is repented of and !
J cast out. This Is the second .
I thought, then, which we would ,
I emphasize. That even though
God is imminent always in the !
! welfare Of man, he Is far, very ,
} far, from the individual heart I
I that is given up to its own lusts /
and desires. And let US not for.
I get that while sin is in the :
I heart and the life, the presence !
! and favor Of God cannot be won I
/ by zeal in religious forms and !
ceremonies. It is the heart which
} repents and turns from sin that Z
, can hope for the Divine pres !
! ence. !
