THE PULPIT.
A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
ADAM MACDONALD REOCH.
Theme: What is Your Life?

Text: For what is your life? 1t Is
even a vapor, that appeareth for q lit
tie time, and then vanisheth away
James Ala.
This is an apt metaphor with which
to represent the brevity and evanes-
cence of life, but it does not tell the
whole story.
The cloud which the text speaks of
as floating idly in the sky we have i'm
prisoned in our machinery and COM
pelled to do mighty things. This ca
pacity of 1eeting vapor for energy
and work we'll represents the capacity
of the human spirit for inspiration
and service. This constitutes mans
greatest endowment and is the life OF
every faculty and attainment.
Scripture continually speaks of man
as vessel" or utensil which depends
for it's usefulness and worth upon the
value of it's contents. When noble
ideals perish our life descends toward
the level of the brute, just as vapor,
bereft of its heat, turns again to its
original liquid form, comparatively
without value.
Life and action carried on in &C.
cordance with true ideals will result
unfailingly in progress. Too often
the monotony of life consumes the
energy which should go toward the
realization of our ideals, and when
we stand before the doors of large
opportunities we are overcome with
fear and hesitation.
Man, like the vapor, will never do
his best work except under pressure.
A brook will bable until 1t meets the
= ruho fN fryr Oricf
mill. Without a sense of responsible
character. We should think of our
responsibilities as opportunities. Life
is most truly described, in the broad
sense, as great opportunity. That
is the way Jesus looked at it. "Treas-
ure hid in field" "a pearl of great
price," talents intrusted to servants, :"
these are the SMILES he used. They
all emphasize the element of opportu.
nifty.
Life is, in short, the opportunity to
find our true self, and until we have
done that we can never hope to find
the true God. If man gain the
whole world and lose himself it prof
tteth nothing, for a man can actually
and permanently possess nothing ex-
cept himself. Is a man entitled to
say II live," simply because he eats
and sleeps and is physically well? A
human life is far more complex. The
first reed pipe gave forth music, but
it's descendant, the great organ, gives
forth completed music in which thu
other parts are harmonized with the
melody. The complete life is one in
which the religious or spiritual note
gathers into harmony the moral, the
intellectual and the physical elements
in our being, bringing them also into
harmony with God, the source and
fountain of life.

Could You Pray?

Coming from Chicago one day be-
fore I was a saved man, an eleven
year-old boy made an attempt to
board my train at Hebron and, miss
ing his hold, fell under the cars. A
section man pulled him out and laid
him on the platform. The boy made
a grab for his hat that was just be-
yond his reach, and then realized that
his other arm was broken and one
leg gone. He began to beg us to kill
him. They placed him on stretcher,
and some one ran for his mother, who
lived just block away. She came
running, and as she knelt at his side,
cried:
my God, Frank, is this you!"
eyes, mother" he replied, "and
won't you pray for me?"
Wringing her hands, she sobbed:
20 Frank, can't pray! don't know
howl"
There on her knees, at the side of
her dying boy, she turned to us and
pleaded for some of US to pray for
him, but we each one had to admit
that we did not know how, and he
died before US without prayer I
never shall forget the anguish written
On that poor mothers face. 1 Go
thank God that have learned to pray
since that time and to hold up before
the throne Of grace not only my own
children, but those of prayerless par
ents about me.

Manufacturing War Relics.

With the approach of the centen-
airy calculations of the famous
Tyrolean fight for freedom a new
industry has been created at Tyrol.
Every veterans association and rifle
club in the land is preparing some
kind of festival at which historic guns
and flags and other emblems will be
displayed. Unfortunately, these rel
les have become rather scarce in the
hundred years which have elapsed
since the war, but undaunted by this
trifing circumstance the ingenious
peasantry are setting to work to
make their own relics. In this enter
prise they have developed remarkable
ingenuity. A new flag is used for
sometime as buster, and then after
being carefully smeared over with
grease on both sides is put up in the
garnet where the grain is stored. In
few days the mice have made some
artistic t'bullet" holes in the flag.
which is then hung out in the garden.
The sun does the rest, and faded
and tattered flag of really venerable
appearance is the result. The village
blacksmiths, have shown no less clev-
erness in making historic cannon, and
there's no reason to fear that the
centenary celebrations will suffer
from any lack of relics from the war.

Eagle Catches Fish.

Monday afternoon, While Mr.. H.
V. Lawson and J. NJ. Kelly were fish
ing in Banks Lake, they heard roar
ing noise above them, and on investi-
cation they discovered an eagle cir
cling above them. All at once he
made a sudden plunge into the water
and appeared to be injured. Messrs.
Lawson and Kelly started toward
him, thinking his wing was broken
and they would be able to catch the
bird. They got up close to the bird,
when he arose with a big fish in his
claws. 1t appeared to Mcssrs. Law
son and Kelly to be as much as his
eagleship could carry. Mr.. Lawson
says the bird is very rare one and is
not quite as large as the bald eagle.
