Mysteries of the Gvpsies

Commenting on the edict of the Hun
garian government ordering the gypsies
to give up their nomadic life, the C6icaoo
News says:
Gypsies first appeared in Europe about
600 years ago. They were supposed 10
have come from Egypt, and were "a He'd
Egyptians, from which fact comes Their
name. Now it has been proven concl.
sively from their peculiar language thar
they actually came from northern India
They first appeared in Turkey ana
Greece, later finding their way into The
Balkan states and Hungary. From these
latter countries they spread Throughout
Europe. Small and dark, nomadic in
their habits, and many of them 'pettily
theftuous," to quote Robert Louis Stey
enson, they have never amalgamated
with the people among whom they dwell
However, they are credited with many
good qualities by persons who have
studied them sympathetically.
Though there are many gypsies in
England. the United States and other
nations il is in Rouma MIA. Hungary and
Russia that they are chiefly found their
numbers in that part of Europe being
placed at 100000. Many of them ara
capable musicians. The gypsy players
of Hungary are famous. In that cOun.
try gypsies are called "ciganes." The
French call them "Bohemans," from
which fact comes the use of that word
to describe the care-free life of idlers

THE REAL AND THE IDEAL.

Set your affection on things above,
not on things on earth. Col. 81: =.
1t is probable that from the age OF
16 up to 80 Jesus of Nazareth spent
his life In mechanical toll; he made
wooden plows, ak handles and yokes
he served as carpenter. Then for
three years he gave himself to the
ministry of Ideal things, exclusively to
the service of the spirit.
There is wonderful satisfaction in
making things, in looking over some
concrete piece of work accomplished
when the day ends 1t is satisfaction
that belongs 10 the artisan. Is 1t not
probable that many said that it was a
great pity when Jesus gave up SO use
full trade as his? TO them he seemed
to be but chasing the rainbow.
But to-day who possesses single one
Of the things that young carpenter
made? And did we possess them all,
what better OFF would the world be-?
Yet, on the other hand, how Ill could
this world afford to lose what he gave
1t by those three years OF the service of
the. ideal.
In our age of things we SO easily
forget how large is the place of the
ideal and the spiritual. Ever estimat-
inf our assets in the concrete, we fail
to recognize that our real wealth lies
in thoughts and things abstract. The
permanent possessions of humanity are
spiritual. Not acres nor armies, not
banks nor business make nation, but
mighty, compelling ideals and tradi-
tons.
Jeses. Shakespeare, Browning. Low
ell, Emerson. left no goods and chat
tells, no bonds and mortgages they left
inspirations; they bequeathed ideals;
Living first for the soul, their souls sur
yiye and semain to US all, The truly
great who still stand after the test of
the years are those who have lived
for the spirit.
Too many OF us are fretting because
we are not getting on in the world.
Seeing the apparent ease with which
some acquire fortune, we become dis
contented with our small gains. We
talk as though fortunes and follies
money and lands were the only things
worth while Yet we know better, for
we all and our real Joys IN other
things.
Life is the business of learning to use
things as tools, the real as the servant
of the ideal, to make conditions ever
better that character may grow the
more, TO serve In the making of things
and the enduring of things under the
Inspiration Of the full and glorious pur
pose OF life the realizing of the best
for ourselves, the rendering OF our best

BRIDGE OF GODS LOVE.

And there was no more sea.-Rev
XXI. l.
We can hardly appreciate what the
sea was to the ancents. II stood for
separation, almost impossible barriers
long. lnterminable stretches of fearful
waters. Ulysses return from the Tro-
jan wars to Ithaca is a life Journey of
cruel buffetlngs of winds and seas n
is two days trip now, and the ocean
to us Is symbol OF nearness rather
than distance. 1t brings The nations
together instead of separating them.
But John, when he wrote these words
on his lonely island. Patmos. where no
was exiled, thinks of it as an unpass-
able barrier between himself and all
whom he loves, 1t separates him from
home.
So when In his vision he sees the
beautiful city of God which Is some
time to be built in the hearts OF men.
when God shall make his home among
men and dwell with them, and there
shall be no more pain and sorrow. only
gladness and joy-all things made new
he needs must add these words tn the
vision
And there WAS no moye sea-
That IS, there was GO separation.

Grapeylnes usually need very little
manure other than mineral, and that
chiefly potash. In European countries
It is the habit of vneyardists to burn
the prunings each year and apply the
ashes. No other fertilizer Is used In
fact, stable manures are objected to, as
they make the vines grow rank, and the
fruit will lack the flavor that belongs
to fruits whose vines are only MANFRED
with tile ashes. Much OF the excellence
Of French wines Is possibly due to this
sparlng use of manure.

One thing Christianity has done. II
has broken down distances, it has re-
moved barriers. 1t has brought things
| together that belong to each other, 1t
has swept away the vast, impossible
stretches In the world of the spirit.
Thus, first of all, when John said
There is no more sea-" he meant there
would be no separation between God
and man. The gods of the old days
were far off-man had to go long Jour.
neys to find God. He dwelt on noun
tain heights. Christianity has made
Him near God. He Is the ever pres
ent spirit, inhablting His world. He Is
nearer to man than nearest friend.
There Is no great space for man to tray
erSe to find Him. Nothing separates
Him from man but mans own sea.
He is the dear Father of us all, and
we take His hand as the little child
takes his mothers hand.
This is the teaching of Jesus. 1t Is
the meaning of His life. To those who
walked with Him In Galilee God was
by their side. Never again could they
worship a far-off God.
Thls was also the meaning of Cal
vary. In the death of Christ men saw
God and man meeting In the one great
sacrifice Of love In Christ the divine
and human meet and evermore are one.
This vital sense Of the nearness of
God is the only thing that can keep re-
llgion alive to-day. This Is what we
mean by faith. This Is the fulnllment
OF the vision John saw-God with US
no separa tion-no more sea.
Again John saw in his vision the es-
arrangement of the people, and he says
I'm that day. when the kingdom comes,
there will be no more sea" That is,
there will be no separation OF races and
OF nations. All these foolish and I'M
Christian race prejudices and interna-
tional hatreds and caste distinctions
will be swept away.
AS matter OF fact, speaking liter
ally, how true 1t is that there Is no
more sea between Europe and America.
Our great ships have made the sea as
hOthiHB anu the HdliOHS uInSle. A.
ready much of the old separation Is
breaking down and we are realizing
that man to man the world over is
brother.
But some day there shall be no sep
aration whatever, but we shall see that |
all men suffer the same defeats and |
losses and are striving after the same |
common happiness and good. Then the |
brotherhood of man will have come and |
there will be no more sea-"
Finally, John was thinking Of how |
the sea separated him from those he
loved, 50 when he throws the picture
over into that other world, which we
call heaven, he says, There will be |
no more sea there" Here life is full of |
losses. Loves golden cord are broken.
Dear ones are taken from us and seem
ingly great ocean of space is between
US and them. But there the golden /
cords shall be again united. Love can
never lose its own. And there shall be
no more partings. There shall be nc
separation there. This is the immortal
hope of our Christian faith and moth
ing can take 1t from us. No partings
yonder, no separations, mo more sea"
