The two boys hurried down the

SER MON ETTE.

The cities Of refuge appoint
ed under the direction Of God
In the land of Canaan were a
type Of the Christ and in some
particulars exemplify the work
which Christ performs for the
sinner.
The cities Of refuge gave
shelter to the fugitive from the
sven9er Of blood. Christ gives
shelter to the sinner whose ad.
cersary the Devil pursues him
TO the very thresholds Of the d.
vine refuge.
The one fleeing to the city Of
refuge was safe until his case
could be declared and he prove
his right to abide there, for il
his hands were stained with
the willful blood Of another he
was delivered into the hands of
the avenser of blood and his
life taken.
The one fleeing to Christ Is
safe until his case is declared.
What right has he there? for
none who come to that eternal
city OF refuge opened by God
for all the world is without sin.
The adversary, the Devil, comes
up TO the very door and makes
his accusations. And what an
accurate accountant he is. How
he can recall the smallest de-
tau OF mans life and paint il
in the blacklist colors. How he
can uncover the hidden sins
and show one helpless and IN
done in the presence of the
nigh priest Of the place, Christ
Jesus, the anointed One Of God.
But shall the uufailing Justice
OF God cast the sinner forth and
Commit him to his just deserts?
Shall sin claim her own and
cast down to hell?
Thank God, No! For herein
Is the city Of refuge Of the Is
raelites far exceeded in grace
and mercy by the city Of refuge
which God hath appointed. No
soul that seeks refuge therein
is ever forced to leave, for the
Christ within has but to show
the nailed hands and the spear
wound in his side as token of
his offering for sin, and Satan.
the great avcnger, is forced to
flee.
The cities Of refuge were
equidistant and easy of access
from all parts of the land. So
is Christ. He is nigh everyone
OF contrite heart. His "ccme"
is always sounding forth. and
his invitation is reinforced by
the comforting assurances that
"he that cometh unto Me { will
in no wise cast out"
The gates of the cities Of ref.
uge were always open and the
priests i'm the walsh towers
ready to reach forth and hello

ner. And how infinitely more
true this is of the Christ. His
arms are always outstretched
to save. The faintest cry from
the lips Of the sinner reaches
his ear and instantly commands
his help.

The total number of accidents bearing
Immediately upon the block signal sys-
tenn in 1907 was 15,45s. an increase from
Ii. 455 during the previous year. which
indicates that the introduction of such
signal has not effected the object desired
and has not added any great degree Of
safety to railway travel in this country.
The number of persons killed by acct
dents which the block signals should
have prevented in 1906 was OF. and the
number injured was 1865. And. not
withstanding the extension of the sys-
tenn, the number killed in 1907 was 1,291,
and the number injured 1926
The pecunary loss suffered by the rail-
ways of this country from these acct
dents in 1906 was $40. 659.1S9, and in 1907
it was S12s65.7 O2. a sum sufficient to
have paid for the most perfect protec-
ton that could be devised.
Causes of Accidents.
While the commission was preparing
it's report there were nine terrible acci-
dents caused by collisions which the
adoption Of automatic signals might have
prevented. The causes are given as
follows:

Scientific men said, make soap that
will wash clothes in water at normal
temperature and the clothes will last a
great deal longer; it's the high temperature
of boiling water that hurts the cloth fibre,
whether cotton or wooden, and makes the
clothes wear out so soon.
Commonsense said, make soap that
will do away with the hard-rubbing and
you'll not only save the clothes, but lot
of time and back-breaking labor.
So Fels-Naptha soap was made
made to wash clothes in cool or luke
warm water; and to get them perfectly
clean without hard-rubbing.
If you do try Fels-Naptha, don't use it
as you'd use an ordinary laundry soap.
Follow the easy directions on the wrapper
and you will have wash that is cleaner,
whittier, and done quicker, and with less
labor, than any wash you ever did in the
old-fashioned way.

the protection of the public. The fol-
