THE STORY.

WHEN the little baby girl came
W into that home in Ephraim and
was named Deborah the parents little
realized the future that lay before
her. In the first place there was dis
appointment because she, the first
born child. was not boy, and then
again she was~not a comely child, in
fact. 20 distorted seemed her features
that her mother found no joy In
looking upon her face. And to make
the affiictior harder to bear. the un.
usually ugly features of the child
gave her neighbo-s and the towns
people occasion to speak words OF
ridicule and scorn. for because she
and her husband had remained true
and would not share in the festivities
which had been instituted in their
midst they were the objects of deri.
sion and persecution.
Now see the curse that has come
upon you. Where is your God that
he should allow such child to be
born to your" they would ask her,
and she and her husband secluded
themselves more and more from the
world about them.
And this was the atmosphere in
which Deborah grew up, a condition
which at once stamped its influence
upon the child and made her natu-
rally recluse like her parents.
Long before the little girl was able
to run upon the street people as they
passed the little home would mark
her homely features and whisper un.
kind comment. The mother, keen to
catch a critical glance and the whis-
pered word, would clasp her darling
closer to her breast and whisper in
her ear the pet words of love and ap-
probation. And when Deborah grew
old enough to mingle with the chill
dren OF the neighborhood she early
became conscious of a difference be-
tween her and the other girls. They
seemed to shun her. They would
point at her and make grimaces. And
often as she passed along the street
Of the village the boys and girls
would shout after her calling her
names.
Then Deborah, shy and sensitive
as she was, would run to her mother,
and, burying her face in her lap, sob
cut her grief in her ear. At such
times the mother would say to her
that she could have a beautiful heart
IL she did not have a comely face.
That God looked on the heart rather
than the outward appearance. And
then she would go on to tell her OF
the Hebrew God and the wonderful
things he had done for his people,
and Deborah would listen eagerly and
forget her grief. More and more as
the years went by she lived in the
atmosphere of the stories her mother
told her. She withdrew from the
world without. and was never so
happy as when sitting at her moth
sr's knee hearing the stories Of God

SER NOM ETTE.


"And the children Of Israel
came up to her for Judgment"
Two thoughts arrest our atten.
tlon In contemplation Of this
declaration. First the desire for
instruction In the things Of
God on the part Of the children
OF Israel, and, second, the abiI.
'ty and privilege Of Deborah In
thus minlstering the things Of
God to those In need.
u marks an epoch In the life
OF an individual and a people
when there comes realization
Of need. can imagine that pre-.
vious to this time, before op-
preston became so grievous
and while sin seemed SO allur.
ing and sweet, that Israel did
not have much desire towards
God. There was then no aoinq
up to the Bible school under
the palm trees OF Deborah. The
eomplacency and Indifference Of
the world spirit held thers.
They were dead on the God
ward side.
But when the awakening
came there began a new epoch
10 their lives. An, what
bright morning 10 that when
the light Of Gods truth breaks
In upon the soul. and II goes up
humble and repentant to the
place Of instruction! "Blessed
are they which do hunger and
thirst after Righteousness, for
they shall be filled"
Mans hunger for God nev.r
exceeded the supply Of Gods
grace. The soul may take and
take and take Of the divine
fuIIness, but II can never ex-
haust u. Remember that.
And now as to Deborah.
Scripture does not give US the
particulars Of her life and tell
us how she attained to the es-
alted place and title Of prophet
ess in Israel, but we may be
certain that II was not the re-
suit Of chance or the unmerit-
ed favor Of God. There was the
vision Of the pearl Of great price
and the paying Of the price to
obtain the lonsed-for treasure.
She had the genius Of hard
work and the gift Of persist
ency.
But the day came when De-
borah, the despised and shun-
ned. became Deborah the proph-
etess. The day came when
those who had laughed at her
religion were glad to sit at her
feet and learn Of him whom
they had despised and dishon-
ored.
Be patient, oh soul. The way
Of Righteousness ls lonely some
times. To walk with God
means to walk apart from
friends and loved ones so often,
but be faithful and patient. BY
thy life thou shalt help many,
and by the wayside thou shalt
be able to speak the word that
shall point to God.

WHEN THE KAISER TRAVELS.
No stops Made and the August Pas.
senger Never Tires.

When Emperor William travels by
rail in Germany he insists that his
train shall go to its destination with
out stopping. The time OF departure
is fixed in such a way that his nights s
rest is not interfered with, the start
being made either In the morning or
shortly before his usual bedtime. His
special train is fitted up so comfort.
ably, according to his own tastes, that
he feels quite at home in 1t. On en-
tering ii. should 1t be early In tire day,
he goes to his study and sits at his
writing table. where the rays of an
electric lamp fall on beautifully
framed photograph of the empress and
their children.
He first hears reports from the vari-
Gus ministers, then signs documents,
looks through the newspapers and de-
votes a period to reading. Then he
summons a secretary and dispatches
letters in several languages to other
monarchs or personal friends. He
often consumes several hours. Though
the sentences are spoken rapidly, cor
rections are never necessary. The
emperor has the gift OF concentrating
all his faculties on the subject in hand
and he expresses himself as precisely
in the foreign languages as in his
mother tongue. The meals are taken
at the usual time and the dinner may
not last more than an hour. After
dinner the emperor assemblies his
suite for an unconstrained chat, ac-
companied by beer and cigars.
The bedroom is very simple. His
majesty always sleeps well in the
train. rises early. takes a bath in the
bathroom adjoining his bedroom and
then puts on the clothes he will wear
on leaving the cars, either gala uni
form, II there is to be great recep-
tion, or simple forester's costume II he
is visiting a friend for the shooting. II
the train arrives at its destination
very early in the morning 1t is run on
siding until his majesty awakes and
finishes his toilet This method Of
travelling explains why the kaiser al
ways looks so fresh and bright when
he appears before the public.
