We nCSd nothing more than this
epitome of the gospel to establish the
fact, except that It is always well to
have more. than one verse as foun-
datlon for our assertions. John 3.

account of the young man who came
TO Christ, whose life was exemplary,
yet lacked one thing. "The Master
loved him." but yearned that the
lacking thing might be supplied.
Again in Luke we have our attention
called to what is famillarly known as
"the parable of the prodigal son, :"
but which emphasizes more than any
other one thing the constancy of the
fathers love for the wayward boy.
From one end to the other OF the
Bible runs the one thread OF salvation
in the blood. This you might call
the scarlet thread of royal sacrifice.
1t reveals the fact that what "was
made manifest" in Jesus Christ,
though PARTLY lid len through the
ages, was nevertheless in the heart
of the Father from the beginning.
Indeed, Jesus ''was the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world"
God manifest in the flesh" was the
exhibition in "the fullness of time"
of what had been present in his heart
during all the years of preparatios,
and what has been in equal degree in
his heart ever since-an interest in
men that would not be satisfied until
its fullest expression had been made
when necessity demanded such ex-
preston.
''Ye would not" Do we realize
the meaning of these words. 1t Is
not merely the throwing back upon
a hateful people the accusation of
stubbornness. 1t is not that. 1t is
the terrible truth that God has tried
his best to rescue these people from
the destruction consequent upon their
own hostility to him. and could not
do it. He could not, because they
would not.
1t is very hard to make any impress
sion with abstract truth. To merely
declare to the world through prophet
and lawgiver that God had such in
tense concern for man would be to
have very little impression. There
must De concrete evidence OI lnlS III
terest. Accordingly we see the
mama provided in the wilderness,
the sea opened before them, the pillar
of fire and of cloud, the brazen SER
pent, and many other manifestations
that were afforded to the people Of
old But these were not to measure
the strength of his desires Jesus is
the only one that could do it.

would bring him heart to heart with
his listener, would convince this sim
ner, over whom we have tried and
failed, of his absolute dependence
upon the God who gave him life.
The whole power of the body of
Christ must be exerted to save men.
Too often men are unconvinced
because of our non-appealing presen-
tation of the truths of the Bible
story. Unto all people must the
church of the twentieth century ad-
dress herself. To all men must the
gospel be preached.
But this gospel of the Christ Is not
merely system of ethics. not merely
a scheme of life. 1t Is more. st.
Paul tells us that he is mot ashamed
of the gospel of Christ, for" says he,
ut is the power of God unto salvation
TO every one that believeth. Through
it we know not only what God expects
OF us, but we have a knowledge of
the nature of our heavenly Father.
Christ came to preach the kingdom.
The outworking in practical life OF
the principles of the kingdom will
make such conditions as we have dis
cussed impossible.
with the entrance of Christ into
the heart man will become right to-
ward God. Being in harmony with
God he will be in harmony with his
brethren. Let us apply ourselves,
then, steadfastly to spread the gospel
of salvation.
The gospel of our Lord and Sa-
vior Jesus Christ is the urgent, Cnc
Immediate need of this world. With
in its principles are contained the So
luton of all our most perplexing So
cial problems. Let us bring our wan
dering brethren back from the dis
tant country into the fathers home.
For ourselves let us strive to attain
unto that perfectness which was in
Christ. Enthrone Christ in the hearts
of men and the law of love, which is
the ruling force in the kingdom OF
our God, will sway mankind Then
will come peace and happiness and
joy. For then shall have come to
pass the beginning of the endless life
within God for us all.
Save men to Christ and you have
saved the world.
The church is confronted with the
most stupendous problem with which
she has had to contend since the days
of the apostles. But with the prob
lem God has given us the power unto
victory. His gospel is our shield, our
buckler. our guide. He doth lead,
we need but follow. Let us then as
men who are mot ashamed OF the
gospel of Christ go forth to carry
that gospel unto every needy soul.
Let us live the Christ life that we
preach Let the church, relying upon
the promises of our Lord, strike out
boldly into new fields. Praying for
divine guidance and trusting to the
omniscience of divine love. let us find
our duty and live up to it.
Lift up your eyes and look on the
fields, for they are white already to
harvest"
Are you ashamed of the gospel of
Christ?

STORY OF A SPIDER.

On the ceiling in one Of the rooms
in Sans Souci, the world renowned
palace of Frederick the Great, is
painted a great spider with its web.
The origin of this strange decoration
is as follows: This apartment was
the great kings breakfast room and
adjoined his bedchamber.
Every morning when His Majesty
entered the room he was accustomed
to find a cup of chocolate, but on one
occasion. just as he was about ts
drink, he thought of something he
had forgotten and returned to his
bedroom. When he again entered
the breakfast room His Majesty dis
covered that a great spider had
dropped from the ceiling into the
cup. and he naturally cried out for
fresh chocolate to be prepared.
The next moment the king was
startled by the report OF pistol. No
sooner had the cook received the or
der than he blew out his brains. Not
because the king had refused the
chocolate did he do this, but because
he had poisoned the cup and had
thought himself discovered 1t was
in remembrance of this narrow es-
cape that His Majesty ordered the
spider with its web to be painted on
the ceiling.

Power In a Snowflake.

We cannot hope to make weather
predictions accurate at all times,
George lies tells u.s. for it must Of
ten happen that an inappreciable
cause may upset delicately balanced
conditions. For example, stratum
of air may be very nearly saturated
with aqueous vapor, while losing
heat so slowly that moisture might
not be deposited for long time, and
In this condition 1t is in such state
of unstable molecular equilibrium
that the dropping of small crystal
OF snow into 1t may produce COM
plete and widespread change. The
cooling of the air would cause fall
of mist or dew around the snowflake.
This deposited mist, sending its heat
into space faster than the saturated
air, would cool more air and con
dense more dew, and this would con-
tinue rapidly until complete change
OF condition had been brought about.
Thus the tiniest fake OF SNOW may
pull the trigger setting off the atmos-
pheric gun.--Philadelph Ledger.

GIRL RIDES A BULL TO DEATH.
Miss Maud Deroe, young woman
living in the prairie west Of Midland,
South Dakota, threw herself upon the
back of an enraged bull, and rode the
beast until he became exhausted and
died.
The bull made vicious attack up
on Miss Deroe when she was walking
across the prairie alone and unarmed.
The young woman, unable to make
her escape, stood her ground, and Of
fered the enraged beast battle. After
a brief and desperate struggle, Miss
Deroe. by an almost superhuman ef-
fort, threw herself upon the back of
the bull. The beast tried hard to
throw her, but she was reared on the
prairie and had ridden wild horses
from the time she was a child, and
she made shift to keep her seat.
Finding that she could not be un-
seated, the maddened beast started
to run at the top of his speed, and
he ran thus with the girl clinging to
his back, until he finally fell to the
ground with blood streaming from
his mouth and nose, utterly ex-

CHINESE BURGLARS UNION.
Permission Must BE Obtained Before
Job Is Done.

Everything in China is under the
control of union of some sort. We
are not surprised at this in the case
of the carpenters and mechanics, but
1t does seem a little unusual that
when a man wants to burgle, If he
Is Chinaman he must do so accord
ing to the rules of one of these or
ganizations. When the desire seizes
him to rob, he must first consult the
officers Of the burglars union for
permission. This Is given him for a
certain proportion of the profits of
the burglary. Such an action here
in America would be called graft" :"
which means hush money"
Burglars go in parties, not in ones
or twos, as with us. An ordinary
party in China consists of a hundred
or more. They surround the house
and plunder 1t, but manage so skill
fully that the occupants cannot offer
any resistance. When a house is to
be robbed the thieves scatter narcotic
drugs about the rooms, which have
no effect upon themselves, but will
put Europeans to sleep. Not only do
they fall asleep, but this sleep will
last until long after the robbery is
over.
When a thief enters a house to
rob, the first thing he does is to re-
move his clothes, the next to oil his
body all over. His pigtail is then
wound around his head, having pre-
viously been stuck full OF needles. II
by some unlucky mischance some
dweller in the house has not fallen
asleep as expected and should at
tempt to grasp the arm or leg of the
burglar he will find him a slippery
customer indeed, for he will slip off
like an eel. If he should attempt to
seize him by the pigtail, he will let
go of this in hurry, for needles are
very long and sharp in China.
Who says the Chinese are stupid
people? Washington Star.
