There never has been any question
of dispatching an imposing fleet, as
has been reported. 1t is said that the
main object of sending the Jacob Van

have a second ship handy in case, for
any reason, the cruiser Gelderland
which at present is in Venezuelan
waters, should not be available at the
moment wanted. The Gelderland is
at present the only Dutch warship in
the West Indies.
The Jacob Van Heemskerk is one of
the two biggest battleships belonging
to Holland. She has displacement
OF 5,13O tons and can steam sixteen

The Gelderland was ordered to Ven.

as she returned from La Guayra with

Norris Bros. Circus AUGUST II.

When the Greater Norris and
Rowe circus exhibits in this city
Tuesday afternoon and night Aug
ust II, a family of circus per-
formers will be seen by the name
of Orion. There are eight members
of this family which includes young
men and women. Their father,
before them, was in the circus
business and conducted a rather
pretentious circus in the New Eng
land States under the name of the
Myles Orion circus. This family
are indeed versatile, for they are
clowns, wire walkers, jugglers,
trapeze artists among them, and
their bicycle riding on a very slender
wire at the very tip of the tent,
and divers other hazardous and
thrilling feat are astounding. Dur
ing the run of the Norris
and Rowe circus in San Francisco
this spring of sixty performances,
279.873 persons paid admission to
the big show. The Orion family
were among the distinct hits of
the programme which contains the
names of performers of worldwide
reputation; performers from every
cline in the civilized world.

glad the city Of God. This is needed
first in our own hearts and then to
the utmost limit Of the church Of
Jesus.
In Jerusalem there were three
sources of water supply. First the
pool of Sloan, which was covered
with scum and was stagnant large
part of the time; then there was the
pool of Bethesda with its inter-
mitten springs; the third was the
Aqueduct, the great water supply
for the city. And these three in a
measure typify different phazes of
Christian experience.
There are those who try to obtain
the water of life from Sloan pools
stangant and covered with a world
scum. There are others whose
spiritual life is intermittent as from
the Bethesda spring, while the great
Aqueduct of Gods supply is hardly
touched.
If the spiritual life is supplied it
must be by river of God, fresh and
pure and constant. In the Book of
Revelations we have the river of
water of life, pure as crystal, pro-
ceeding out of the throne of God for
the punishment of his people through
out eternity.

little to say, but went along quietly

10y and the proclamation of a con-

THE change has been brought about
with comparatively little bloodshed,
although it is too early to determine
whether the new machinery of the
government will run without conflict
or disturbance. The constitution is
limited and is the same as that grant

reign. Changes in the ministry are
taking place and efforts are being
made to have some of the palace en-
tourage displaced"
Mr.. Leishman says the populace
openly charge the palace camarilla

regard it responsible for past ills.
The dispatch adds that general
amnesty for political prisoners has
bsen proclaimed and that those I'M

in the senior grades in the Sun
day school, should meet at the Sun
day school hour. If this work is
seriously undertaken and faithfully
carried out there will be no lack
of qualified Sunday school teachers
to carry on the work of the church.
The fourth qualification of
teacher is the art of teaching. That
is of imparting knowledge or infor-
nation. The teacher should know
how to take spiritual truth and apply
it to the pupils mind and heart.
The fifth qualification is that the
teacher should know the Sunday
school as an institution, how it is
organized; how it should be con-
Quoted and the best method OF
carrying on the work given to the
Sunday school that boys and girls
may be trained in righteousness.
We cannot secure good Sunday
school teachers by talking about it,
but by actively engaging in training
them for this high and holy occupa-
ton.

DR.. Matthews, in company with

The pictures shown exhibited
this journey, beginning at Caper-
naum, visiting Magadala and Tiberias
and a most enjoyable trip on the
beautiful Sea of Galilee, so closely
connected with many of the scenes
of the life of our Lord. Here He
performed some of His most marve-
lous miracles and had some of the
sweetest experiences of His life.
From Galilee Mr.. Matthews took
us with him on his trip to Mount
Tabor, Shunem, Nazareth, Cana and
Main.
These pictures were of special
merit, and his lecture most enter
tanning. Some of the best of lis
scott's pictures had been copied
and added much to the enjoyment
of the evening.
