STONED A TIGER TO DEATH.
Punishment of Man Eater That Kill
ed a Tibetan.

From the Youths Companion.
Fifty years ago tigers were very COM
mon even in the high hills of western
Tibet, writes C. A. Steering ia his account
of that country. At the present time,
however, owing to the increase of popula-
ton, they have become rare, and the ap-
pearance of a man eater who carried off
a poor old woman the slope of Chipla
created great CONSERVATION.
On the following day there were gather
ed together a hundred grim men, armed
only with axes and stones, for they had
not gun among them.
Fortune favored the brave, for the tiger
was found asleep under a rock. At once
each man dropped silently into the cover
of the brushwood and piled a heap of
stones near to his hand. while one of
the most trusted of the party was COM
missoned to stalk to the top of the rock
and drop a huge stone on the sleeping
brute.
So well was the work done that the
stone fell true on the tigers back. and
Immediately with a roar the wounded
beast sprang up and seeing his enemies
who leaped from their cover. charged the
line.
But hundred men, desperate as to con-
sequences, throwing stones with might
and MAN, are not to be awed or turned
from their purpose lightly. The stones
broke the tigers teeth and went into his
mouth, and his body soon became a mass
of wounds.
Turning, he tried to escape, and took
missiles. The blow on his back first given.
wherever he paused and whatever he did
he could not escape the ptiless rain of
missiles The blow on his, first given
effectually checked his speed, and finally
worn out. he came to bay under great
cliff.
The rest was easy He was Immediately
hemmed in. and the stones were showered
on him thicker than ever. and hurled with
redoubled energy. AS he sank down the
villagers rushed in and despatched him
with their axes.

IN his gospel Investigations there are GER

ask: Jesus, here is man who mas Peen

tion which the Sadducees propounded to
Jesus himself Or we begin to try 10

Christian churches? Because ono Chris
tain church puts special emphasis upon
one OF Gods attributes in its creed or
practice is taht any reason why other
Christian churches which lay stress on
another of Gods attributes should not
affiliate with that body of Christians or
cooperate with It? Because one gospel
church loves to sing the old psalms and
another loves to use liturgy and another
church loves to put emphasis upon i'm
merson and another church makes the
sermon the chief part of its services Is
1t any reason why all these Christian
churches should not be united in working
for the same master and for salvation BY
the same divine blood?
When you look over the ecclesiastical
history of the world you will notice one
striking fact-the church is apt to degen-
crate when 1t becomes prosperous. After
the crucinxion came the dark days OF
persecution. But the grow1s of the wild
beasts, while crunchlng the bloody bones
OF the Christians in the Roman coliseum,
only welded that Christian church closer
together The fires of persecution only
purified 1t. The Christian church began
to grow. Its foundations became stronger.
AS the early church grew 1t was not only
able TO resist and drive back its perse-
cutors, but It became stronger and
stronger until at last IL was able to
lay claim upon the temporal as well
as the spiritual life of the nations. Then
the Catholic pope became the acknowl-
edged spiritual ruler of the world Then
what happened? AS the Roman Catholic
cf urch financially prospered did 1t spirit
ually prosper? Nay. The vatican became
cesspool of sin. The Bible was a closed
book. The torture chamber was the
holy Of holes fragrant sin was every
where in the church. Then came the
divine mission Of a new church.

church came laxty and indifference. An
other reformation was needed. and John
Wesley and George Whiteheld began to
preach, and Methodism and Congregation
alsm began their mighty work Sill
later William Booth has stirred the
stagnant waters with his Salvation
Army SO az the need has arisen God
has unfailingly raised up men to do hts
work.
Whenever the churches, growing In
numbers and In financial strength and
power have drifted from God and turned
their Masters temples into places OF
merchandise, whenever their preachers
have become unlike the humble Naza-
, rene then there have come spiritual
rebrth and a new church. And to this
new church, this humble church, as
fallen the task OF spiritually leayening
the old churches OF the world. And,
my friends, II you do not believe that
what / say is true | would like you .
answer me one question. If Jesus Christ
were to come upon earth today. where
do you believe the lowly Nazarene would
prefer to preach-in the gorgeous vatican
II a pope with his spotless robes, IN
the chancel of a great cathedral and be
paid the $4,000 year as its archbishop,
or in some fashionable Protestant church
whose wealthy members sometimes sit
stolidly Indifferent to the great sufrerings
OF mankind2 Or do you believe Jes Is
would feel most at home as street
preacher, working with the humbles'
workers in the slums? There can be but
one answer. There is but one self evil
dent reply.
