"Throw down the altar OF !
Baal that thy Father hath, and .
cut down the grove that 10 by
t." Reform was to begin at ,
home, and Il was to be com.
pIste. No use for Gideon to ap-
peal to the nation while his own
family was under the shadow
Of the heather altar and the
festive grove lured to Its llcen.
tlous festivities.
The altar to Baal which his
father had erected must be
thrown down. The grove which !
he had planted must be hewn
to the ground.
Thus was there to be q clean
cut, positive break with the
wIckedness about him.
Thus by his fearless and bold
striking at the very root OF
ths idoIatrous practices which
had crept into his nation, he
was to challenge not only the
power Of the heathen god BaaI,
but he was to proclaim him
self the champion Of the true
God.
II took faith and great moral
} courage for Gideon to stand out
against not only his fathers
} house and hIs own nation, but
against the powerful nations,
which held Israel In bondage.
Here was the testing.
Had not Gideon been willing
to do this thing which the Lord
required at the first, he never
would have been fitted to lead
!, tho victorious army Of Israel
against the foe, neither would
God have permitted him to.
He was willing to burn the
bridges behind him, for he knew
when he marched with God
there was no retreat. He knew
that dellverance lay before them
and not In compromise.
} Many a man falls Of the
high commission Of God just
. here. He begins by compro-
. misses. He Is anxious to lead a
. victorious a, my, but he Is fear
fuI lest the line Of retreat be
cut off.
God must needs test Gideon
before he could commit fully to
his hands the task before him.
This testing wrought two
fold work upon him. II identi-
fled him absolutely and irrevoc-
! ably with the cause Of right
eousness, and It brought to his
! heart a revelation Of the majes-
ty and holiness Of God.
) A low conception Of what
God requires Of his followers
. proves disastrous to onany re-
former. 1t leads to compromise
with evil. II results In half
hearted endeavor. II Is the bird
whose vision is the keenest that
files the farthest, and II is the
!. Christian whose spiritual per-
ceptIons are highest who ac-
compIishes most for God.
Endure Gods testing, for with
!. Il will come a revelation Of God
and an appreciation Of what II
means to stand with him.

Chinese Idea Of atIon.

BY the Chinese 1t is believed that
the world was formed Of two parts
of a great egg. From the yolk, man
came forth; then he waved his hand
and the upper half Of the shell went
upward and became the concave heav.
ems; the lower half reversed. making
the convex earth. and the white ~
buhen became the seas.

An Easter Lay.

Behold What light in yonder sky7
The angels echo in reply:
II is the Easter Dawn.
Let carols sweet ring through the air.
And flowers distil their perfume rare,
This Resurrection morn"
For Christ has risen, as He said.
Blest Saviour of the quick and dead.
Chant loud the glad refrain.
For angels rolled the stone away,
And Christ arose ere broke the day,
And evermore shall reign.

After conducting experiments with
various milking machines. the Kan
sas agricultural experiment station
advances the following conclusions:
First, that a milking machine Will
milk cows as thoroughly as the aver
age mixer. second, that some cows
give more milk when MIXED with .
machine than when milked by hand;
others give less; third, that It Is ex'
tremely necessary for the man In
charge to fully understand how to
operate a milking machine; fourth.
that to reach the highest degrees of
success cows should be selected and
bred to respond to machine milking.
II this factor ID taken into considerar
ton machine milking will be equally
as successful a. the best hand milk.

Hospital due to gas poisoning. Brown was
found about 800 o'clock this morning In
the store by W T. Lowe of PIG 18th street

pital after the police had been notified.
Mr.. Lowe resides on the second floor OF
the house adjoining Browns store. and was
attracted about l o'clock this morning BY
hearing groans. He peered into the alley
in rear of the house, but failed TO see any
one and returned to bed. The grooming
continued. and finally Mr.. Lowe deter
mined to investigate. As he could not
see who was making the noise he called
out of the window, asking what was the
matter.
Its the gas" was the reply, and then
Mr.. Lowe realized that the groans were
uttered by some one in the harness and
wagon store. Quickly putting on his clothes,
he went downstairs to the front door OF
Mr.. Browns establishment. When he
knocked at the door he could see Brown
start from the rear OF the store toward
the front door. Brown staggered and fell
but managed to slowly crawl to the door
and open 1t.
Then Brown fell again partly overcome
by the gas that was strong within the
store Mr.. Lowe dragged him out into the
