the tree, but either one could get his head
in one at time. So his catship held the
fort and was in no danger. But as soon
as either dog poked his unsanctifed nose
into that hole, that polecat would pour out
at least one vial of the wrath of his indg
nation into that dogs face and he would
balk, and fly back and cough and sneeze,
and roll and tumble, and root his nose in
the fallen leaves, and then go stick his nose
in the tree again and again.
During that little campaign that cat
poured out more than seven Walls of the
wrath of his indignation into the faces OF
those faithful dogs and no dog could enter
into that cats temple for the abundance of
the fogs, any more than man could enter
into gods temple for the abundance of the
supposed smoke which John speaks of,
which may have resulted from a vigorous
use of gods old corn cob pipe
John says, every island disappeared and
every mountain was laid low, and all the
rivers well dried up. as turned to blood.
but what got John the worst, was when
he was expecting that great outhowing of
Dago Red from the winepress of the wrath
of god, it turned out to be a deuge of
blood. 1t was a bloody shame to disappoint
John in that way.
John says furuner, he saw the dragon and
the beast and the false prophet vomit up
frogs That is possible. There are people
so constituted that selfgovernment is out
of the question with Them so that when
they have the opportunity of enjoying an
extraordinary good meal say, something like
dish of live frogs, they never think to
stop eating until they can hear the frogs
croakng just below their swallow, then the
exodus begins with a rush for their native
pond and fresh air, and the untrammelled
enjoyment of personal liberty. But John
says those frogs were the spirits of devils,
working miracles, but how could John see
the spirits of devils unless he was full of
the spirits of Dago Red And more than
that, do not think it would be a miracle
for frogs to want to get out of such
stomachs as the dragon and the beast and
the false prophet possessed.
| think | can about parallel that case
and tell the truth. The incident occurred
within less than half mile of where now

Some three or four years ago colored
brother was pastor of negro congre-
cation here. He was one of those heavy

How the Seven Angels were Given Walls
Filled with the Wrath of sod and
Other Things.
(By Il. Lewis.)

We who are not saints, or divine, might
think that the wnepress caper would close
gods menagerie and satisfy Johns curiosity
for eXtravagant sightseeing, but not so, for
John saw in heaven, great and marvellous
wonders; seven angels having the seven
last plaques, in seven walls, for in them is
filled up the wrath of god; then John saw
that the temple of the tabernacle in heaven
was opened so that he could see what was
going on up there, and the seven angels
came out of the temple having the seven
plaques and one of the four beasts gave to
the seven angels, seven golden Walls full
of the wrath of god, and the temple was
full of smoke from the glory of god, so that
no man could enter into it, and the temple
would remain full of smoke until the seven
plaques were fulfilled.
That was a peculiar way god had of
protecting himself against intruders while
he played hell with his people in dispensing
his wrath on them. God had sent out his
seven last walls of wrath to scourge his
people and sat down to rest and take a
good quiet smoke, and await results. That
is about what we can gather from Johns
statements. ! know of no element so uni
versally detested as smoke. 1t was a cute
old scheme for the boss to strike upon to
secure complete quietude. l think | can
illustrate that event more clearly and make
it more realistic to the reader by relating
an incident that happened more than sixty
years ago when ! was a boy in Western
Pennsylvania.
Father and two of my brothers and my
self, as was customary in the fall of the
year, when grapes, persmmons black
hawes and other wild fruits were ripe went
out possum hunting one night, taking with
us two well trained dogs.
After meandering about in the woods for
some time after we sent ths dogs out, they
gave tongue, lively, spirited. We knew it
was not an opossum So we fastened to
the scene of alarm, but before reaching the
bowling wilderness of activity, we met
wireless message which Informed ps that
polecat was in trouble with our dogs We
waded through the rich fragrance that
eXuded from a hole just at the ground in the
side of large hollow oak tree there was
not room for either dog to get inside of

In recent issue we made comment
upon tho orthodox complaint of the
persecution of Science. Upon this
subject, Draper in his Conflict" says,
"Science has never been an aggressor
She has always acted on the defensive,
and left to her antagonist the making
of wanton attacks This "antago-
mist" has been, and is now, the whole
aggregation of Christian idolatry, and
that their attacks have been
"wanton" is amply verified by his
tory. There is nothing exclusive
about science. 1t is truly and thor
oughly cosmopolitan. This is the real
difference between spirituality and
practically, between the imaginary
and the real.

Son, thing like a small wheat bin. After
solemnly asking tho beneficent father to
watch over him through the night, and hand
him over to his dear ones at the early dawn

ton, discovered the opening and concluded
TO explore its uttermost limit, and suiting
the action to the thought, dived into it like
a shot and down the parsons throat with
all the speed he was master Of Did the
parson find it out? Aye Suddenly he
sprang to the floor reaching for the mouse,
but the mouse was down in his stomach
frightened nearly to death trying to dig a
way out. The parsons eloquence rose to
a height far beyond anything he had ever
reached in his m st earnest revival efforts,
only he was not using that kind of language.
His voice aroused the neighborhood. Peo-
pie We're alarmed and ran in half attire
to learn who was numbering the parson.
On learning the cause of the alarm medi-
cal aid was sought and lively emetc ad-
ministered, and in due time the parson
vomited the mouse back to earth again.
The mouse was Resurrected, but not to

as John says Rev. 17-14., but just nat
