Hardness.

James Chalmers laid down his life
for Christ. He vas dubbed to death
and eaten by savages in New Guinea.
In a speech made in Exeter Hall
fifteen years before he said: Recall
the twenty-one years, give me back
all it's experiences, give me its ship
wrecks, give me it's standing in the
face Of death, give me surrounded
with savages and spears and clubs,
give it me back with spears flying
about me, with the club knocking me
to the ground-give it me back, and
I will still be your missionary" In
asking for new men, he said: "Send
out two or three young missionaries,
men altogether Christ's, who will
think nothing Of hardships, and who
will spurn the notion that the work
involves any sacrifices. / think the
word sacrifices ought never to be
used in Christ's service. Let them be
men and women without any namby
pambyism." Livingstone had the
same thought. After thirty years OF
service he said: II never made a sac
rifce." He made an investment,
rather. He was paying back his Lord
what he owed Him. He was filing
up that which is behind Of the suffer-
ings of Christ. Robert Lewis Steven
son wanted to write the life OF
Chalmers, but died before him.
Speaking of Chalmers, he said: He
has plenty of faults, like the rest OF
US; but he is as big as a church."

| selves to be. How small, ~ininitesi-
mally small, do you seem! He q
been a prophet, for He has shown how
small we are. Two sides, the dark
and the light, Jesus has shown us,
but He has not alone given us view
to the dark side by showing us our
smellness. He has also brought up
the light side and with full hopeful
ness not only tells US how small we
are, but shows us our largeness. He
tells US of the power and potential1-
ties within us. Eye, therefore, shall
be perfect In love-" You are a sim
ner, but you may be a son OF God.
Jesus is glorious as a prophet OF GOD,
for He tells US how it may be II we
live as He lived.
Not only a prophet o. God and
men, Jesus sought to expand the rev.
elation Of God, and beneath 1t all
with prophetic note, gave the ideal re-
lationship of life, that of father and
son. Did time permit we could con-
slider the many lights between God
and man. Jesus came and in His ear
lier years lived in simple communion
with His Father, before He gathered
about Him His Twelve disciples. He
prayed in the mountains and prayed
for the forgiveness of the sins of the
world. He set the right relation be-
tween Son and the Father-a per-
sonal relationship. He never lost
hope in all His suffering, but trusted
in His Father. In His life He would
tell US that the infinite relation Is that
of Father and Son.
Not only would Jesus teach US the
ideal relationship between God and
men, but He lived the life between
man and man. Should we follow the
precepts of Jesus, this relation Of
man to man would be one of sacred
example. Follow the teachings of
Jesus and get all the power and po-
tentiality that is In you. Develop self
by developing others. Find life by
losing it. It will be a victory for self,
the inner self. BY the Word Of God
We are one, or nonresident Jesus
tells us Of Gods relationship.
How a any one ask, knowing
these things and Gods relationship to
man, how He effects our salvation?
Can any one be convinced and say,
"Can Jesus save Me?" He demands
of US our love. He demands that we
follow Jesus and do what He did. He
demands that we follow Him as Jesus
did and secure salvation by His for
g~iveness. We know that the penal
ties Of sin are awful, for Jesus has SO
taught Us. The truth that I am
small He has impressed upon me, but
that l am to become larger through
hope and forgiveness I know through
His word. Jesus calls upon US to be
prophets in His name. We can take
His teachings throughout life, but we
do not follow them. That Is not rec
ignition Of the word. He has done
His part and we should do ours. He
cannot make US or we would not be
personalities.
Jesus said to the multitude, Chris
tians, follow Me, and as the apostles,
they left and followed Him. Jesus
calls us up from our worship OF gold
and the money gods which we serve.
He called to the people, love Me more.
and they worshiped Him. He calls to
us, love Me more. BY Thy mercy we
will hear Thy call and will serve Thee
by love and service best Of all.

Not Common People.

1.-The common people heard Him
gladly" That phrase may be mis-
leading. What Mark says is not that
the common people," but that the
much people heard Him gladly"
He does not mean to refer to a low
er class Of people. The Bible never
calls this sort Of people common"
and it was not the lower class OF
people that came to Christ in the
crowds. There was the Pharisee, the
%Sadducee, the ruler, the publican,
the poor man-all classes were
drawn to Him. Where He came caste
straightway melted away. When He
came into Simon's house, the poor
harlot, who had never crossed the
threshold before, went right in ana
came to His side.
For this reason Jesus can no more
be the head of a labor church than
of a capitalist club. He has nothing
to do with men in sections. He deals
with man as man, and when He
looked out upon the crowds He did
not see a Pharisee or a publican;
He saw a man, d son of God by crea-
ton. He saw as God saw.-Rev.

Lost Her Chance.

Matrimonial troubles were under
discussion. The eldest son of a rich
manufacturer remarked: II hold that
the correct thing for a husband is to
begin as he intends to go on. Say
that the question was one of smok-
ing. Almost Immediately I would
show my intentions by lighting a
cigar and settling the question for
ever" And I would knock the thing
out of your mouth" cried the imperi-
Gus beauty of the group, DO you
know" rejoined the young man, Il
don't think you would be there

Cruelty to Animals.

o. o. Fellows had a good time the
other day. A hog went into his gar
den and rooted clean through a
whole row of potato plants, while
Mr.. Fellows stood there and laughed.
Somebody came by and asked him
why he didn't quit laughing and go
drive the hog out of the potato patch.
Well" he said, you see, it's just
this way: There isn't a potato in
the whole patch, and l know It.
Then he laughed some more to think
how he had fooled his neighbor's
hog.-Mesa (Col.) Mail.

Mushrooms in Railroad Tunnel.

A railway tunnel in Edinburgh, by
which the Perth and Dundee line for
merly gained access to the WaVerley
station. was abandoned some years
ago, consequent upon the construc-
ton of a better graded avoiding line,
Then an ingenious person con-
ceived the idea of leasing the tunnel,
which is three-quarters of a mile
long, and growing mushrooms in it.
The venture has turned out a great
success.-Stray Stories.

Notes For Workers.

Here are some good suggestions for
League workers:
Find your work where Christ has
put you"
seek to make at least n spot Of
the earth brighter by a deed Of
yours" .
When you begin to worry, do not
forget. that God still has control Of
everything" .
Christ has redeemed and lifted
you up, that you, in turn, may lift up
Others"
IF you truly love God. your heart
will be filled with His Spirit, and you
will be obedient to His commands"
1.-THE true Christian is like the sun,
which pursues his n~oiseless track, and
everywhere leaves the effect Of his
beams in blessings on ALL"
One has we'll said that u chief
concern should be, not to obtain
higher places, but to fill well the
places we already hold. Better fill a
humble position we'll than occupy. n
above our ability. "-Pittsburg Chris
tian Advocate.

BEGINNING OF PRINTING IN o. s.
First Press Erected In PHILADELPHIA
in the Year 1885.

The first printing-press made in
the United States came from the shop
Of Adam Ramage, in Philadelphia,
about 1875, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph. In 1910 there were two
printing-press factories in Philadel-
phia, reporting products valued at
$4,000, and two manufactures Of
hydraulic engines, reporting products
valued at $4,000.
The first printing-press in Penn
sylvania was erected in Philad elphia
in 1886, four years after the first
English settlement was made in the
colony. The publication of maya
zines and other periodicals was at
tempted by Franklin as early as 1741.
In 1910 it was estimated that half a
million volumes were printed annual
ly in Philadelphia.
For fifty years after the Revolution
the city was fist in the printing in
dustry, the first daily PAPER in the
United States having been established
there in 1884. Shortly after the be-
ginning of the century one hundred
and ten wooden presses were in oper-
alton in Philadelphia-a larger num-
Der than in any other English-speak-
ing city in the world except London.
The growth of book publishing
was promoted by annual fairs and
auction sales established in 1902 by
the American Company of Book
sellers, and held, for a while alter
nately in New York and Philadelphia
In 1910 seventy-three newspapers
were published In Pennsylvania,
eight Of which were daily papers
a larger number than was published
in New York State at that time.
In 1917 the Columbian, a hand
press, was invented by George ely
mer, CT Pennsylvania, and was intro
duced in the following year in Eng
land, where it remained in use until
1850. 1t was the first press built in
the United States capable Of printing
both sides of a newspaper a tronce.
In 1900 there were in Philadelphia
six hundred and twenty-five estab-
.lishments engaged in the printing
and publishing business, representing
a capital invested Of $23,020,333,
whose products had a total valuation
of $~23,448,875. &.

A New Blue.

A beautiful shade of blue is being
exploited in millinery. 1t is a very
dark dye of Beauvais, but there Is
much more black to the present
shade. "Dusky blue" might best
characterize it, and yet there is great
indication of the smoke color, too.
The tone is universally becoming and
seems to so with anything. In the
new velvets and velveteens it is ador-
able. To render the hats more soft
in tone the milliners are putting a
covering of mousseline the same
shade of felt or silk. The blue is
most striking in mousseline.

The gored skirt that is relieved OF
severity by some arrangement Of
pleats at front and back is among the
very latest to have appeared. This
one is charmingly graceful, yet quite
simple, and is adapted both to the
house and to street wear. The prin-
cesse style will be a favorite one for
a long time to come, and is much to
be commended wherever it is found
becoming, but there are figures to
which the one of regulation kind is
better suited and the skirt can be cut

too, are employed to a great extent,
and breasts are equally favored as a

bon, decorate some of the heavy braid
hats. but on the whole the trimmings
are light in weight, the aim evidently
being to make the hats comfortable

are heavy enough to be made in so
simple a style are appropriate, how.

The skirt is cut in eight cores. The
back gore is arranged to form a box

and conceal the seams.
