we have the same principle in III Cor.

poseth in his heart. so let him give not
grudgingly or of necessity, for God
loveth a cheerful (hilariousI giver."
When we remember that whatever
we are able to give to God we are Civ
ing Him only that which He first gave
to us we can readily see that there is no
room to boast Of our giving. Listen to
David as he gave his millions to the
temple and saw his people offer so
willingly: WHO am l and what Is my
people that we should be able to offer
so willingly after this sort. for all
things come of Thee. and of Thine own

AN ARCTIC TRAGEDY.
Tho Body That Was Seen Floating In

Tho Body That Was Seen Floating In
the Icy Water.
On Aug 80 we arrived at Rudolf is
land. the most northern of the Franz
Josef group and simply mass OF ice
and high glaciers, where we had plan
ned to spend the winter. While cruis-
ing near Northbrooke island l saw one
day from the crows nest" singular
dark body just awash on the surface
of the water. AS we came nearer and
nearer l was possessed by a rather
unusual desire to know what this
dark mass was. Putting up my glass
es, l gave the order for dead siOw,"
and we passed the object closely on
the starboard side. l saw clearly that
it was the body of a man clothed i'll a
great skin coat, with the usual hood.
and with mittens ON the hands. The
face was not discernible, but it dawn
ed on me suddenly that this might be
the remains of the Swedish balloonist
Andree who had been lost in the arc
tic about two years before, or perhaps
one of the men who had been lost in
the AbruZZi expedition.
l WIS about to Stop tue stedusuip
and procure the body when it occur
red to me that TO take n corpse on
board would destroy the good spirit
and courage of the members of the
polar party. for there is a general su-
perstition among sailors that a ship is
doomed when a dead body is on board.
The first officer and myself were the
only ones who witnessed this CHASTITY
spectacle. and neither mentioned the
fact. fearing that the discovery would
cast a shadow over the entire party.
We have both always believed that
this was the body OF Andree. and
have often regretted that it had not
been in my power to give him decent
burial.--Captain Edwin Coffin OF the
Ziegler Polar Expedition in National
Magazine.

Toplc.-Life lessons for me from John
v. IN. (Consecration meetingD Comment
b. Rev. Sherman H. Doyle. D. D.
The apostle John made three impor-
tGnt contributions to the literature OF
the Bible. The first was his gospel in
which he set forth the deity Of Christ.
The second consisted of three letters
or epistleS. the longest and most i'm
portant of which is the first epistle of
John. In the third place he was the
author of the book of Revelation, in
which we find the records of visions
given to him while an exile on the is
land of Patmos, in the Mediterranean
sea. The Importance of these three con-
tributions to the Bible cannot be over
estimated, and their influence through
out the Christian centuries upon the
thought and life of the disciples of
Christ has been incalculable. The
bosom friend Of Christ, the possession
OF a thoughtful disposition that was
capable OF sounding the depths Of
Christ's mystical teachings and his
close. intimate. personal association
with the life and work Of His Master
made him especially fitted to set forth
the true spiritual life of the Christian.
and from his writings many have at
tanned n high spiritual standard OF
Christian thinking and living.

contents into sections is next to i'm

are his favorite and often reiterated
themes In /. 4. he explains the pur

The chief Of the naturalization bu-

into it deeply are not so dogmatically

For example, the encyclopedias tell
us that mankind was divided by Blu
menbach into five races-namely, eau
casian. Mongolian. Ethiopian. Ameri-
can Qndiam and Malay. The words
Caucasian" and white are used
anonymously. This classification was
first published in 17S1 and must have
been known TO our national legislators
when in 1902 they passed the first
naturalization law.
The Caucasian race includes Arabs,

We are also told by the naturaliza-
ton bureau that the Hindoo is not

statute But the encyclopedia says that
it is Il great error to separate the Hin
doc from the Caucasian race. The

the original Caucasians-that is. the
inhabitants of the Caucasus-are no
