aroused powers into service for men,
even to the point of free and glad self
sacrifice.
AS men follow Christ, He has re-
habilitated their faith in the spiritual,
and broken the Elusive spell cast over
them by the material, the false and
superstitious views of God lose their
hold on their minds and fade away be-
fore the sun-like doctrine of the di.
vine Fatherhood. The selishness of
mems hearts is softened into brother
ly good will and the old religions cast
aside their crudities and sink them
selves in the more effulgent light OF
Christianity, the basis for the final

shall say what greater glories await

What God Gives NIGHTS For.

It is often the obvious~truths to-
ward which our eyes are holden.
Sometimes when they appear before
us in a fresh and unusually attractive
garb they strike home to our con
seriousness as if never before uttered,
though they may be the same old
truths with which the teachers of our
childhood strovete makeusfamiliar,
and though we may be weary of>them.
For example. will the thought en-
bodied in the following paragraph
from Christian Work ever be so fully
absorbed by any of us as not to need
r~eiteration?
ANY one can carry his burden,
however heavy, till nightfall. Any
one can do his work, however hard,
for one day. Any one can live sweet
ly, patiently, lovingly and purely till
the sun goes down. And this is all
that life ever really means to us, just
n little day. Do to-day's duty, fight
to-day's temptations, and do not
weaken and distract yourself by look
ing forward to things o cannot see
and could not understand if you saw
them. God gives nights to shut down
the curtain of darkness on our little
days. We cannot see beyond. Short
horizons give us one of the blessed
secrets of brave, true, holy living"
GAS thy day so shall thy strength
be" runs the promise.

One Sure Thing.

One thing is sure, my friends: II
God is going to forgive III Jul sins.
we have got to repent of Jul sins and
turn from them. "Let the wicked
forsake his ways" Not only must we
forsake our sins, but we must bring
forth fruits meet for repentance. /
don't know who the young man was
who went to his employer the other
morning and said: "There's the
money I took from you some years
ago." but that was bringing forth
fruits meet for repentance. We have
not only got to forsake our sins, but
if we have injured any one, if we have
slandered him and caused him to
suffer, we must make restitution as
far as we can. And when we bring
forth such fruits, men will have conf
dence in our Christianity. l have
heard of a man who had four of his
neighbours sheep stray in among his
own, and he took the marks off them
and kept them. When he was con-
verted, these four sheep troubled him.
Don't think that you are going to
have peace with God if you've got
four sheep that belong to somebody
else, or have put somebody else's
money into your pocket.-Moody.

Arrest Spoiled His Aim.

John A. Hickman, who is known
on the stage as Lone Bill" gave a
performance at Mount Holly. Just
as he vas leaving the opera house he
was arrested on a charge of robbing
the store Of William Burns, at Bor-
dentown, two years ago. Hickman
was recognized by Claude Bullock,
VINO caused the arrest. Hickman's
stage speciality was his ability to get
out of handouts and straitjackets and
his craftsmanship. He had reason
to believe ne was to be arrested, and
this made him so nervous that during
the performance while his wife held
a dime he shot off the tip of her
finger. Detective Parker says-Hick-
man owned a powerful launch and
stole gasoline from stores in Camden,
selling it to boat owners on the Della

One man was killed and another
severely injured by the kicks of

Why 1t Pays to Conquer Sin.

1t is better to conquer temptation
than to be freed from 1t. Therefore
God does not, at once, take us out of
the world and beyond the reach of
temptation; He does better than that
when He keeps us here and offers
us His omnipotence for the defeat of
our enemy. A victorious, sin-beset
man has more to be grateful for than
an undisturbed angel. For every VIC
tory over sin brings two notable re-
suits. 1t increases our W power
against temptation, and it lessons the
effectiveness of that temptation in it's
next onset. So God actually helps us
to get freed from temptation every
time we use His strength to defeat
temptation. 1t may not always ap-
pear so, for temptation dies hard; but
it is so, and we car prove it If we
will fight on in uudiscouraged as
surance that 1t is a one-sided conflict,
after all, and God and we are on that
side.-Sunday-Schoo Times.

PLUNGED 1000 FEET
into mine, 5 KILLED
Runaway Truck Crashes Into Car
Filled With Men.
SPEED OF FORTY MILES AN HOUR
Miners Killed at the Warrior Shaft,
NWilkes-Barre, Pa, as They Were
Starting For Home-Headman
Arrested.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa.-Five men were
killed and many injured at the War
rior Run Colliery of the Lehigh VAL
ley Coal Company, when a runaway
mine car dashed into a car full OF
miners who were being pulled up a
2000-foot slope.
The dead: James Gallagher, aged
twenty-seven years, car runner, l
gle; julius Kurtz, aged forty years,
miner, single; Frank Ostrolsk, aged
thirty-seven years, married, survived
by wife and two children; Samuel
Ruscave, aged sixteen years, door
tender: John Forkalshak, aged fifty
one years, married, survived by wife
and three children.
William Naywadey, aged forty
years, single, and Ignatz Gowlsky,
aged thirty-two years, are fatally in
jured. Twelve others were more or
less injured.
The days work had been finished,
and the heavy wooden car, with four
seats running crosswise, was filled
with men, eager to gain the surface
and hasten home.
The slope is 1000 feet long, rum
ming from the surface down to a vein
which is about 900 feet under ground.
When the. car reached the third
switching station on the slope the
men heard a sudden roar, and were
appalled, upon looking up the slope to
see a huge mine car rushing down at
them with terrific spead.
About half of the men were able
to jump from the truck and thus save
their lives, though all were more or
less injured. The runaway, heavily
laden with refuse, ran up the rope to
which the truck wa fastened and
plunged down among the mine woak-
ers. Both cars plunged 1000 feet
down the slope.
Investigation showed that the acct
dent was the fault of John Stimcon,
aged t~wenty-siX years, single, who
was headman at the slope.
Stimcon failed to handle the load
ed car properly, and it bacame un-
manageable. 1t dashed down the
branch track, jumped the switch on
to the main track, and plunged into
the ascending truck while travelling
at a speed of forty miles an hour.
The descending car weighed several
tons and dashed the men in the front
of the truck to instant death.
Mine Superintendent Boyle arrest
ed Stimcon for criminal negligence,
and censured the company for not
having a head block at the end of the
slope so that no car could gain the
main slope, even though it did run
away on the branch.

Make Ready For Air Warships.

There are almost no data upon
the vulnerability of balloons and oth-
er aerial ships to the attacks of
aqueous battleships and field artil-
lery. A few experiments along these
lines have been carried out in Europe,
but if anything of value was learned
it Is slowed away in the military
archives of the country making the
tests. 1t is in every way desirable.
therefore, that our army officers
should determine the possibilities of
the new mode of warfare at an early
date and decide how best to parry the
attack of such a feet.-New York

A Real Curiosity.

George Landenburger has a sure
enough curiosity in the possession of

eyelids that are red, as might be in
ferred, but the Eyes themselves. The
eyeballs are not bloodshot or in
famed, but are of a brilliant crystal
red, while the sights are also red, but
of a darker hue. So transparent are
the eyes that when the head of the
chicken is held between your vision

were shining through from n eye
to the other and the head lighted up
inside. The chick is as healthy and
