;23 When Christ uttered the Lords
Prayer he said. Lead us not into tempta-
ton" May we infer that God does ever

323. Is there any certain way of telling
which of his Psalms David wrote before
and which after his sin?
Answer The Jewish rabbis made a list
of the Davidic Psalms. those preceding
and following his great sin. That list has
been approved by Christian scholars. in
most instances because of the contents.
But the list is not absolutely certain.
:}26. In l Samuel XVIII we read. An
evil spirit from the Lord Please ex-
plain this
Answer. Evil spirits were from the
Lord only in the sense that God permits
ted them to influence men JOB, i:12) in

CHURCH REDECORATED
ST. PETERS EDIFICE SHOWS
BRIGHT SPLAsHES OF COLOR.

ST. Peters Catholic Church. Cd and c
streets southeast now presents an en-
tirely new interior appearance. The work
of many months on the part of l.. Costag-
gini local painter, is nearly completed
most of the scaffolding and other signs Of
the working decorator were removed.
When the work is entirely completed. it
Is believed by those connected with the
church.. the interior will rank we'll with
that of any other church in the city.
In the new scheme of decoration, the
walls and ceiling of the church have been
given the color of cream tinted with
green. The molding and pillars are all
gilded. Bright colors have been used in
the mural paintings.
Along the high ceiling over the middle
Of the church, the artist has put seven
pictures, three giving scenes of the life
of Christ. and four, alternating with the
other three, illustrating the virtues. Pru-
dence, Justice, Fortitude and Temper
ance. The scenes in the life of the Lord
are the Annunciation, the Nativity, the
Flight to Egypt.
In the inches at the side of this higher
part of the roof, the artist has painted
individual bust pictures of the twelve
apostles, and the features are character
lied so we'll that the observer finds little
trouble in naming each.
Five pictures will decorate the rounded
arch back of the altar, representing the
Ascension of the Lord, the Agony in the
Garden, the Baptism of Jesus by John
the Baptist, Jesus giving the keys to
Peter. and the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin. In the dome above the altar is
a picture representing the Eternal Faith
er, surrounded by angels.
Over the three entrance doors at the front
of the church have been carved groups
illustrating Bible passages. One shows
the calling of Peter by Jesus and In the
carving Peter is shown with a string OF
fish in keeping with the Bible story of
the abundance of fish which he caught
when dipping his net at Jesus command.
A second pictures the Lord giving the
key of the church to Peter. The COM
mand of the Lord to preach the gospel
to every creature" is illustrated by the
third group, there being besides the two
main figures a mother and child, to rep
resent the future generations.
Father OBrien, who is the priest in
charge, is very pleased with the new
decorations. Soon after he took up the
work in St. Peters congregation, about
eighteen years ago, the present church
edifice was built under his direction. The
decorations which remained in place for
seventeen years. he says, are far sur
passed by the new ones.

Pray that fire may be kinded in Chicago
that will spread through the whole land. "
DR.. Grenfell adds to the testimony
against the Christian lands by saying that
wherever the white man has gone he has
carried his vices to the people, and that
Labrador is no exception to this rule. We
know that vices have been introduced
wherever white men have gone among
unchristianized nations. Why do we not
make more strenuous efforts to stop these
things?
The international reform bureau at 206
PENNSYLVANIA avenue is doing a great
work in this way. Just at present DIR.
Crafts and his wife are going around the
world in campaign against lntemper-
ance, opium. Sabbath breaking, social i'm
purity, gambling and the like. stirring up
the people to a knowledge of the evil
in their midst and to a united effort to
crush it out. The account of DIR. Crafts
tour through Australia is interesting and
to the point. 1t would be helpful to have
some of his reports to select bits from, to
be read at this meeting.
During the early days Of John G. Paton's
work on the Island of Tanna he had many
hairbreadth escapes and frightful eXpe-
riences, yet through them all his faith
never failed him. He thus describes the
burning of the church, by the natives:
worn out with long watching and many
fatigues, / lay down that night early and
fell into a deep sleep. About 10 O'Clock
the savages again surrounded the mis-
sion house. My faithful dog sprang quiet
ly upon me and aWoke me. | awoke Mr..
and Mrs. Mathieson, and we committed
ourselves to God in hushed prayer and
watched them. knowing they could not
see us. Immediately a glare of light fell
into the room, Men passing with flaming
torches, and they first set fire to the
church all around and then to a reed
fence connecting the church and the
dwelling house. In a few minutes the
house. too, would be in flames and armed
savages waiting to kill us on attempting
to escape. Taking my harmless revolver
in the left hand and a little American
tomahawk in the right, l pleaded with
Mr.. Mathieson to let me out He very
reluctantly did so. Seven or eight saw
ages surrounded me and raised their great
clubs in the air. l heard shout: XIII
him, Kill him. One savage tried to
seize me, but leaping from his clutch l
drew the revolver from my pocket and
leveled it as for use, my heart going up
in prayer to my God. I said: Dare to strike
me and my Jehovah God will punish you,
He protects us. and will punish you for
burning His church. for hatred to His
worship and people and for all your bad
conduct. We love you all, aud for doing
