ORIGIN OF sAReoYLEs

Stone Efisy Early Used as Roof Spout
on Cathedral Of Rouen.
One OF the earliest Of the more elab-
crate attempts to transform roof spOuts
seems to have been at the Cathedral Of
Rouen. where the figure Of q great
dragon was adopted for one Of them,
though whether 1t was intended as an
object Of terror 10 the hObgoblin fra
ternlty OF the seventh century or a
symbol OF the church's triumph over q
public foe can only be conjectured.
This fearsome Wild fowl terrortsed
both banks OF the Seine and terribly
ravaged the city OF Rouen until be was
calamity slain by St ROminus. bishop
OF the cathedral there. Probably in
sheer jubllation OF spirits and In com
pliment to the valorous bishop the car
cass OF the mischievous beast was en-
bodied In stone and set up aloft a. a
warning to all depredators and any
evil spirits by which they might be
actuated. says the London Globe. The
name given to this unlucky animal IL
said to have been gargoille. and hence
the M e given TO his effigy. according
TO 3 me authorities.

erty to choose a derivation, since no
body can speak with authority.
II gargouille really was the name
given to some more or less fabulous
beast whose carcass was initiated by
some tanciful sculptor in the making
OF an ornamental spout. then the prob
ability is that we have here the origin
not only OF "gargoyIe." but Of the
French word for the weAsand. as well
as Of the English words '-guggle" and
''gRrgle."

impression of the land. ~ -. -.
: Of course one will see much DESC
lation. But he will see amazing
possibilities. Put an American farmer
there with modern implements and
with good government behind him,
and astonishing results would follow.
The country combines the fascina-
tion Of the prairie, of the desert and
of the mountains. It does not seem
strange or incongruous to be riding
on railroad through the sacred
hills and valleys. The scenery is at
times so beautiful that one feels as
if travelling through the most scenic
regions of his own country. There
are some very remarkable engineer
ing achievements. In going up the
East Jordan country to Damascus
one feels much of the same awe and
delight experienced in travelling
through the Rocky mountains.

attractive city. Yet Dean Stanley

The interest in the Bible Con-
ference still continues and if any
thing is becoming more intense.
(The Pioneer was unable to give
DR.. Pratt's speech of yesterday fore
noon. A brief outline of same
follows.)
DR.. Pratt spoke on Acts is. Ye
shall receive power after the Holy
Ghost is come upon you. Jesus had
trained, ordained and commissioned
and now he empowered his disciples.
Jesus insisted that his disciples
tarry at Jerusalem, because eventu-
ally he would evangelize the world.
Hence they must have power. They
were selhshly ambitious, but by the
spirit they became humble and
Christ-like. After Pentecost we are
not told to pray for the spirit, but to
be filled with him. See John 1856,
39; Matt. Sc.
There must be a hungering and
thirsting for the presence of the
spirit in our lives.
Christ must be glorifed; we want
the spirit, not for the experience,
but to glorify Christ in our home,
business or profession. When we
come to this exalted position the
spirit will use our whole body.
Notice the cleansing process, we
must be emptied of all sin; we must
have conviction.
Ye shall receive the power of the
Holy Ghost coming upon you.

of the Mount of Olives ever was dis
appointed in Jerusalem. 1t is indeed
beautiful for situation. .--..
The Holy City is distressingly
degenerate now. Two-thirds of it's
population are impoverished, heart
broken Jews wailing bitterly over
the loss of the gates of Zion. The
Christian elements are so saturated
with gross superstition and so filled
with sectarian hatred that Turkish
soldiers are necessary to keep them
from kiling<each other. while, they
are engaged in worship. The city
is under the control of the Moham-
medans. Yet here are many i'm
perishable sacred associations. The
Mount of Olives stands, Gethsemane
is there, Calvary is there outside the
gate. And the devout pilgrim has
his soul flooded with thoughts of
great days and great experiences
inseparable from this city, expert
ences through which came to him
the best that he knows about God.
During the stay at Jerusalem, side
trips are made to Bethlehem, to
Bethany, to Jericho and the Dead
Sea, and to numerous other places

Why 60 to Palestine? Reasons are
many. One good one is adequate.
A Scotch widow, looking upon the
cotfined face of a husband of fifty
years, exclaimed brokenly but not
without rapture, THAT was a bonnie
bit of clay!" The poor tabernacle
of flesh, fallen low in death, was
still. and cold, without answering
smile and with no responsive pressure
of the hand-it was now just clay.
But because that body was where her
love had lived it was a bonnie bit
of clay" No matter how Palestine
has changed, nor how decadent its
pitiable populations-the land is
where He lived. Brushing aside all
false and foolish claims for peculiarly
sacred localities, the pilgrim may
stand with sure feet amid the actual
scenes of that wonderful life-the
place of His birth, the hills that
knew His sweet childhood and win
some youth, the cities and fields and
shores that were graced by his
marvellous ministry, the place where
He tasted and conquered death for
us and took away it's sting, where
He triumphed over our last enemy,

Bonnie Palestine.
There are two reasons why | wish
to speak to you of my recent privi-
legged journey to the Holy Land.
First, because I wish to share with
you, whose fellowship these three
years has been an annual feast to
me, as far as narrative can share,
the delights of that Mediterranean
cruise. Secondly, it is in my heart
to stimulate every minister here,
especially every young minister, to
place high among his ambitions a
visit to the Land of Promise. Every
man of you can do it, if you try,
and it is worth Jacobs fourteen
years of waiting to compass such an
end. The Bible you preach will
have a wonderously sweeter interest.

and proclaimed our certain victory.
That makes Palestine bonnie land
to us. At Cana of Galilee church
marks the place reputed to be the
location of wedding joys where Jesus
turned the water into wine. Above
the entrance. to that church is this
beautiful inscription: I'VE worship
in the place where stood the feet of
Jesus" We took that for our motto
in these Holy Land jourreys-to
adore our Redeemer in the very
places once pressed by His own
feet: -..z,. ,x,-s II ,3ss,...
But it is considerable of trip
before one reaches Palestine, and
there are many @1ntefesting expert
ences by the way. With the excep-
ton of two days of storm, every wind
that blew but furthered us on our
cruise. Even the storm brought US
it's message of Gods love. We
learned to realize His presence
with us while we journeyed across
the great deep.
I never had more inspiring sense
of His presence than during the
storm-our storm. And I count it's
experiences and impressions among
the finest of the cruise. Of course
to seasoned voyagers. it was not
much of storm. Bnt to demure
frst-trippers it was ample to fulfil all
the formalities of a regular introduce
tion to the finer ecstacies of ocean
travel. I am not thinking now of
seasickness, but of ocean inspiration,
not of upsetting the body, but of up.
lifting the soul. It was splendid to
sit or. deck and feel the great ship
lifted by a mighty swell, and then,
dipping it's prov, take toboggan
slide down, down, until it seemed to
be going straight to the bottom, and
all the time feel unafraid; for, even
while the towering, menacing, floods
came greedily on, sure of their prey,
the good ship righted and with tilted
nose, plunged scornfully through the
proud pillows, while the amazed
waters drew back, and as if for
better view of this monster thing
that dared defy an angry sea, lifted
their foaming crest to the levels of
the upper decks, white and purple
with rage, yet magnihcently beau
tiful, like some queenly woman whose
stately charms are heightened by
indignant flashes of :displeasure.
But that wrath was onlyfor moment,
for after all even stormy sea would
rather play than fight, and the
cheated waters rolled away in
rhythmic undulations, making music
for the ear and indescribable forms
of beauty for the eyes. The scene
grew like landscape among the
mountain foothills, only here the
lower elevations we're white crowned
like snow-capped mountain peaks.
And here, too, there was ceaseless
motion, as these laughing, liquid
hills gathered their swelling floods
and rose to a rocket burst Of spray
shaking magic laces down their
ripping slopes, and then off ane
away again, changing form and colo,
in endless charm, as if intent q
