Christ, "that have the power OF life
and death over you?" "You would
have no power over Me-" replies our
Lord, "if it were not given thee from
above"
Blessed, is the man who in every
occurrence of life preserves In MS
heart an unalterable adhesion TO
Gods will, through honor and dis
honor, through evil report and good
report, in sickness and in health, IN
prosperity and adversely. Blessed IS
he who hears the paternal voice OF
God in the thunder of tribulations
that resound over his head. Happy
is he who has this short but compre.-
hensive prayer often in his heart ana
on his lips: "Thy will, O Lord, be
done!" Thrice happy are they who
can say with the confidence OF the
apostle: "Who shall separate us from
the love of Christ" and a loyal at
tachment to His will. Shall tribu-
lation or distress, or danger or perse-
cution or the sword? l am sure that
neither death nor life nor angels nor
municipalities nor powers, nor things
present nor things to come, nor
height nor might or any other crea-
ture shall be able to separate us from
the charity of Cod"

Who the Mound-Ruilders Were.

Who were the mound-builders OF
North America? The Rev. DR.. Bryce.
Of Winnipeg, where the British Asso-
citation meets next year, has examined
a large number of these interesting
structures, and is of opinion that they
were built by the Toltecs, and mark
the course of Toltec immigration
from the South along the Mississippi
and Ohio to the Great Lakes and the
St. Lawrence; along the Missouri and
along the Mississippi proper to the
Rainy and Red Rivers. This would
make the earliest mound date from
aLyut 100 A. D.-Boston Herald.

The Divine Aid.

Elisha on the mountain top, with
an army in wait for him, seemed in a
perilous position. His servant lost
heart at once He could not under
stand his masters calmness, still less
his strange reply, "They that be with
us are more than they that be with
them" Only eyes divinely opened
see the invisible hosts arrayed on the
side of right and against the forces OF
wrong. The courage of the good in
times of difficulty or danger is not as
inexplicable as it sometimes seems.
for in such extremity Gods servants
feel the nearness of unseen helpers.
and know that divine strength is
theirs.

The Rifle.

AS early as 1898 the citizens OF
Leipsic, Germany, possessed the germ
of the future rifle, for their arms had
a grooved bore, but the groove was
straight. Not many years after
about 1520-Augustin Kutter, of Nu-
remberg, was celebrated for his star
grooved barrels, in which the grooves
had a spiral form. From this time
on it was simply matter of improve
ment, the principle itself having been
forever established by Kutter THE
American.

archaeology several days ago that base
ball was not a modern game. He
said that the mound builders were
the original ball players. and that he
had discovered their diamonds and
found a ball used by them. He said
he had been able to trace their ball
