IN MANY LINES OF BUSINESS.
Witness Evidently Was a Man of Un.
usual Qualifica atoms.

s. T. Jocelyn of Wichita was court
stenographer for Judge Pancoast of
Oklahoma for several years. One time
a case was being tried before Judge
Pancoast and they were endeavoring
to find out through a witness whether
there had been any liquor sold.
What is your business?" asked the
lawyer. MY b%usiness?" repeated the
witness laconically. "Oh, / have. lots
of business" Answer the question:"
said the lawyer. What is your bust
ness?' Must l tell all my business?"
insisted the witness again. Answer
the question:" interposed the judge
severely.
Well" responded he cheerfully,
I'm deputy sheriff and city marshal
for Gunner, %janitor of the church and
bartender of the Ell Paso saloon."-

H STORY.

TT is marvellous how quickly nature
II ecovers from the dry, scorching
period of the drought when the re-
freshing rain comes. We have all
seen grass and leaf and flower brown
and withered and dry and have judged
that it was past reviving, when behold
the rain has kissed its withered sur
face, washing away the choking dust,
and the refreshing water has trickled
down to the rootlets and given them
drink SO that they could pour new
life and beauty into the plant above,
and we see the face of nature trans
formed and beaming forth with new
life and beauty.
So it was in the land of Samaria.
The drought of the three years had
been ended by that wonderful down
pour of rain and where before there
was nothing but dry, brown grass and
curled, withered leaves the sun rose
upon a scene of reviving green.
Throughout the land there rested a
subdued consciousness that it was the
God of Israel who had wrought this
change. If the tragic events on Mount
Carmel had made the people trem-
BILE and fear before the majesty and
power of God, the blessing of the rain
had revived their ~faltering and way
ward spirits and brought a new con-
seriousness of God.
Even Jezebel, who heretofore hath
murdered the servants of the Lord.
must know that the God of Israel is
the one God and that Baal is no god
at ALL" exclaimed the prophet Elijah
as he walked forth the morning after
his coming to Jezreel. How glad he
felt that his long period of exile was
over. How good to see the smiling
face of nature as she struggled back
to her verdant green.
God hath wrought nightly. Now
will the people listen to the voice of
Gods servant and be led from the wor-
ship of Baal to the worship of the
true God. The land hath been purged
with the blood of the false prophets
and surely now the people will throw
down the high places and affairs erect
Gu W tlOSO otloA6C gus dUQ Will
return to the worship of God. I am
glad that God hath permitted me to
live to sec this day"
And the prophet sat down beneath
the shade of a friendly tree which
stood in his pathway and gave himself
up to the contemplation of the re-
forms which he hoped he would be
able to bring to pass in Israel. He felt
he could count on the help of the peo-
pie and even of King Ahab. The
shout of the people as they had seen
the answering fire Of Gods power de-
scending and consuming the sacrifice.
still sounded in his ears: 1.-THE Lord.
he is the God; the Lord, ne is the
God"
YES" echoed the prophet, he is
the God. The people and Ahab have
so declared, and even Jezebel, / verify
believe, will yet give up her idols and
serve the living Ga"

Elijah is not the only servant
of God who has gone from gIori-
Gus victory on the mountain top
down into the valley of discour-
agement and doubt.
Here we find exempIified
that which is more than apt tc
be characteristic of every Chris
tian-the extremes of expert
ence. The exaItation of the
mountain top with it's victories
through faith, and the discour-
agement of the valley with its
isnominious flight.
There is great contrast be-
tween the heroic figure of the
prophet ~fearlessIy facing the
$50 prophets of BaaI, and the
fear-stricken prophet fleeing
from the angry threat of a wick
ed woman. And yet the only
difference was that In the one
case faith linked hin. with God,
and in the other doubt shut out
the vision of God and made him
forget his power.
Faith as it finds place in the
life makes all the difference in
the world as to the manner of
expression of that life. Faith
is needed in the times of great
SarNiOa and fecftnn xA,ben %ka
eyes of the people are upon US,
and it is needed in the quiet
moments when we have not the
stimulus of active service to
buoy us up.
The really weak moments of
the servant of God nearly always
come in the time CT reaction,
after the successful service has
been rendered and nerves and
heart and brain no longer feel
the high tension.
1t is in such moments of weak
ness that evil comes to put us
to flight and makes US forget
that the God who sustained on
the mountain top of service is
able to guard and keep during
the seasons of rest and retire
ment.
What encouragement there is
In this story of Elijah for the
Christian who fails. How pa
tientIy and lovingly God dealt
with him, and how loving and
patient God is with his falling
children. Like as a father pitt
eth his children so the Lord pitt.
eth them that fear him. For he
knoweth our frame; he remem-
bereth that we are dust"
1.-THE flesh is weak" as God
knows. We fail as did Elijah
ever while our hearts desire bet
ter things. But in such mo-
ments God does not cast US off.
Nay, rather, ne sends minister
ing angels to succor US and to
lead US to the mountain Of his
presence where with the still
small voice he may speak to our
souls and ~erstore US to his fell.

John Lawrence Toole, the most pop

gave a supper to so of his friends, and
wrote a note to each of them privately
beforehand, asking him whether he
would be so good as to say grace, as
no clergyman would be present. 1t is
said that the faces of those so men
as they rose in a body when Toole
tapped on the table, as a signal for
grace, was a sight which will never
