fects are. He wished humanity to
see and to know that sin is dlsobe-
dience to God; that it stains and
soils the souls of men; that it wrecks
and DESTROYS all that is best in man;
how useless it is.
On the other hand, He wanted men
to know what is the nature of God
and His character; what is the King
dom of Heaven, its entrance-condl-
tionsand the jcys to be attained there
in; what is the glory Of godly life.
Christ wanted to assure men that
God is love; He wished them to know
that the Kingdom of Heaven is pres
ent. as we'll as future, kingdom of
the Spirit and over-ruling all mate
rial life. Jesus had a purpose.
Therefore He pictured the new birth
to men as the entrance requirement
for the Heavenly Kingdom and the
joys of eternal life with God. Jesus
had a purpose to show men God, sin,
redemption, the kingdom. Having a
deep and fixed purpose, He taught
convincingly from a convicted life.
In the last place, Jesus taught as
one having authority. Mark tells us
that at the synagogue at Capernaum
the Jews were astonished at the
teaching Of Jesus-that is to say,
they were almost struck dumb. Con-
trary to the scribes, Jesus talked with
authority. Speaking from his own
intimate, personal knowledge OF the
truth and power of His message Jesus
asked the aid and witness of no man
to prove His points. The scrloes
cited precedent as justification for
their legalism. Jesus spoke truth
under the influence of the Spirit OF
God. The scribes rested their case
on external authorities; Jesus had
the witness of the Spirit Of His own
life. The Pharisees made tradition
the test; Christ made the Spirit 1t
is 40 wonder that they were aston
ished. The gulf is wide between the
sanctions of tradition and the sane
ton Of the Spirit. Traditions choke
the truth; the Spirit giveth life. The
hope and strength of worn-out the.
ories is tradition and II is the chlef
enemy of the Spirit. No man of sense
will. of course, break with the past
merely through perverseness. On
the other hand, no one should allow
the fallacies of the past to deaden
higher life now. To the past all
honor: for the present the things OF
to-day, the hopes and visions of to-
morrow.
The application is easy. Our pro.
mitigation of the truth should be
simple. The teachings of Jesus
should be applied searchingly to all
life in this day. Our method of pre-
sentation should be realistic, not alb
struse, that men may feel and grasp
and hold the truth. There ought to
be no lack of purpose in our reach-
ing of the way unto eternal life. we
tell men, or we should, the Gospel
story not to amuse them, but to save
their immortal souls. And lastly,
and most important Of ALL we must
teach with authority-not dogmat-
ically or narrowly-but with the
sureness that comes from spiritual
experience.

MexFcans as Railroad Laborers.

"Mexicans are used to a large eA'

will do more work and he is inclined
to stick to his job pretty we'll.
"The ordinary Mexican Will stay

his foreman notice, perhaps a month
beforehand, that he wants to leave tor

Calm the Imagination.

You will tell me that calmness
of the imagination does not depend
on ourselves. Pardon me, it de-
pends very much on ourselves. Wnen
we cut off all the uneasy Thoughts
in which the will has a share, we
greatly diminish those which are IN
voluntary. God will watch over your
imagination if you do not keep up
the disturbance by your scrupulous
reflections.
Abide in peace. Do not listen to
your imagination, which is too lively
and too full Of fancies. This ex-
cessive activity consumes your body
and dries up your inward life. You
are preying upon yourself uselessly'
It is merely your restlessness which
hinders peace and interior grace
How can you expect God to SPEAK
in that gentle and inward voice which
melts the soul, when you are max.
ing so much voice with your rapid
reflections. Be silent, and God will
speak again.-Fenelon.

The Spiritual Magnet.

That great magnet, with its metal
frame andeits coil OF wire, and that
strange magnetic power, reaches Out
and takes hold Of those little pieces
of metal, between which and itself
there is an affinity, and it gives them
some of its power through the con.
tact. Christ is the Great Spiritual
Life Magnet, And I, if I be lifted
up from the earth, will draw all men
unto Me-" and faith in Him puts US
in spiritual affinity with Himself, and
through it He holds us to Himself
and gives US power of His power, and
purity of His purity, and character
of His character, and life OF His
life.

The Living Hope.

"The risen Christ is the hope or
the believer-Christ. not in the
heavens, but in the heart. And
this hope we. have as an anchor OF
the soul, both sure and steadfast,
and which entereth into that with
in the veil. There is saving power
in this hope, for it is not theory or
dogma or experience, but a Divine
Personality, even Jesus, the Fore
runner, who has for US entered the
upper sanctuary, and there ever
liveth to make intercession for US,
and hath begotten US unto living
hope by His resurrection from che
dead."-Pittsburg Christian Adyo'

had more than once seen woman

It was no new thing to learn that
shepherd would go out into the
mountains leaving the flock behind
to lend succor to some lost and lone
ly lamb. There were tares enough
and sufficient mixed ground in Judea
to enable the farming element to see
the point Of the parallels OF the tares
and the sower. They knew as Wen
as we know the peTvading principle
OF yeast. These and multitude OF
other realistic illustrations in the
teaching of Jesus gave charm to HIS
words and filed His messages with
power. And the preaching of men
will lose all it's freshness and eHlclen-
cy Just so soon as the element OF the
realistic which holds personal inter-
est is left out.
Then, too, Jesus taught with pur-
pose, with an end in view. He dldn t
talk just to hear Himself talk. He
did not engage in vocal gymnastics
after the manner of so many speak
ers Of this day and generation. He
did not talk because there was 'feasy
money" to be made that way, or in
order that He might get notoriety.
On the contrary, Jesus talked pur-
posefully. It meant danger for Jesus
to take the stand He did. He ran
many and great risks in the speak
ing of the truth. But the Master had
a purpose. He wanted men to see

were gwen an opportunity ~ eA-
press their honest Convictions, the
cause for the great loss Of life iii the
mines Of West Virginia may be
gencralized as follows:
1st. Inaduate mining laws.
Ind. Insufficient penalties.
3rd. The employment fmen who
have no knowledge of the dan
ger of mine work.
4th. The failure to enforce the
law. @3Rsa
9Th. The need of d larger force Of
inspectors.
We, the representatives, of the
miners present TO the member
Of the commission to reViS
The mining laws, and through

Governor Of West Virginia.
The following recommendations t.
10 be incorporated into laws gov
crning the mining industries in

Under our first proposition :In-
adequate mining laws there
should be
"A. A larger current of air, more
uniformly distributed in the mines
Il. Brcakthroughs between en-
tries and rooms should be. made
every fifty feet apart.
&. All brcakthroughs between
entries and rooms, except the las
break through, should be CLOSED
with concrete, frcbrick, stone or
such material as will make the
break Lhg oUgh air tight. es4 -
ID. The entries in all dust &C.
cumlating mines should be Sprin!1l-
ed with water overy twenty fouI
hours.
f. All mines accommodating fire
damp should be inspected by com
putcnt hrc-boSScs and the result OF
his inspection be posted at the
mouth of the mine before starting
zine Of each shaft.
Il. In largely developed mines,
lhc current should be divided by
over casts, or such other method
rs will furnish :, proper amount q.
pure air ut the working places anG
not more than fifty men should b.
allowed TO work in Il single air cur
rent.
G. In entries where doors are
placed, the door should be ken.
closed by the employment of boys.
or such automatic Arrangement a
as may be provided.
Under our second prOpoSitiOl.
Tho employment of men who
who have knowledge Of the dangol

employed to work in the Goa
mines should have u general know

state and the dangers incident to

should have at least one years cx-
