least one man was killed and several were
injured this morning when a series of
terrific explosions practically wiped out
the Latin & Rand black powder mills at
Wayne, little village about six miles
from this place 1t may be that more men
were killed as in the excitement follow
ing the blow-up it was difficult for the of
ficers of the company to account for all
the men who were about the place at the
time. Many houses in the village were
wrecked and persons in them thrown from
their feet Windows for miles around
We're shattered. So great was the force
of the shock felt here and in Paterson
that for time it was thought an earth
quake had occurred.
The first of the explosions of which
there were four, was heard at . o'clock.
This blow-up occurred in the Corning
mill, where one man, Rose Morris. was at
the time Morris is missing, and it is
thought that he was blown to pieces
With the noise of this explosion the
men In the whole mill and the press mill
adjoining ran for their lives. They had
not gone far before another explosion
CURED, and the fleeing men were thrown
TO the ground. The clothing of some of
them was torn away. Following this camc
three other distinct explosions, and with
them the ground seemed to rock. All the
villagers were terror-Stricken and rushed
from their homes

WHAT coLoRs SHALL usE9
This Question 10 Important In Painting
4 House or Other Building.

A proper color scheme is extremely
important in painting a house. 1t
makes all the difference between a
really attractive home and one at
which you wouldn't take a second
glance. And 1t makes a big difference
in the price the property will bring on
the market.
AS to the exterior, a good deal de-
ponds upon the size and architecture
Of the house, and upon its surround
ings. For a good interior effect you
must consider the size Of the rooms,
the light, etc.
You can avoid disappointment by
studying the books of color schemes
for both exterior and interior painting,
which can be had free by writing Ma
tional Lead Company, 1902 Trinity
Building, New York, and asking for
Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 40.
The outfit also includes specifications,
and a simple instrument for testing
the purity of paint materials. Pure
White Lead which will stand the test
In this outfit will stand the weather
test. National Lead Company's IA
nous Dutch Boy Painter trademark
on the key is a guarantee Of that kind
Of white lead.

Alone with Jesus,

With Jesus! What a refuge! He
knows. He will not misunderstood.
He will be pitiful and merciful, for he
remembers that we are dust. His
presence is light, as when the night
is gone and we let in the sweet and
gentle morning. There is 10 other
where like this, and as one might turn
aside where the springs are full and
the flowers are in bloom and the birds
are singing sweetly, and there is a
peace above expression and a frag-
rance that touches the soul, so here
when the day is done there wait the
sweet repose and blessing. 1t is a
time when patience comes back and
sympathy, broad as humanity, comes
with it. ~Ill-feeling flies out into the
night, and the dove-like presence that
lowered above the Nazarene fills all
the hour with an ineffable love. With
Jesus! There is nc other tryst that
will stir the best that is in us like
that! The night shall be as the morn
ing. The grave becomes the portal
Of the Saviour's happy home and the
grief of the rent heart is turned to
the sweetness of the hottest hope. We
are very near to heaven and the com.
ing glory when we are alone with
Jesus.

THE STORY.

THREE young men stood outside
/ the entry way to the private
apartments of the king in earnest con-
v%ersation. A great feast had been held
in the palace for all the princes of
Media and Persia, and 10Y King Dari-
us, wearied with the gay and festive
scene, and filed with the dainty
viands which had been spread upon
the banqueting tables, had withdrawn
to his apartments and was seeking re-
freshment in sleep upon the royal
couch. And while he slept these three
young men who were of the royal
guard, stood without, keeping watch
that nothing should disturb or harm
the sacred person of the king.
1.-The heart of the king was merry"
said one whose nam was Zorobabel,
land great vas his delight in his
princes and the thought of the power
of his nation. But what of our poo
ple who are in distress in Jerrsalem?' %
"Ah," sighed another of the group,

them"

heart of the king to earnest thought,
perchance, and give us the %opportuni-

ple." again spoke up Z%orobabel.
Tell u.s." eagerly cried his two
companions.
ut is this: Let every one of us
speak a sentence. He that shall over-
come, and whose sentence shall seem
wiser than the others, unto him shall
the king, Darius, give great gifts, and
great things in token Of victory. And
when it shall be SO, the n who thus
wins the favor of the king shall
choose for our people the help they
need"
Agreed" the other two cried.
Then every one wrote his sentence,

"Above all things truth year
eth away the victory"
Truth is still winning its VIC
tories in the world to-day.
Truth is the expression OF
God in the world. 1t is the n
abiding thing before which all
that is false and unreal must ul-
timateIy give way.
God is spoken of as a God OF
truth, and the visible expression
of God to the world, "the Word
which was made flesh and dwelt
among men," is declared to have
been "fuIi of grace and truth"
Moses is said to have deliv-
cred the law, but Jesus is de-
cIared to have given the real ex-
preston of that law because
grace and truth came by him.
Jesus made the open declara-
ton that he was the sway, the
truth and the Iife," and as he
was taking leave of his disciples
before the crucifixion he prom
ised them that the Spirit OF
Truth should come unto them
and guide them into all truth.
All this clearly emphasizes
the fact that truth is a part and
expression of the eterna! God.
Men should seek to know the
truth. They should never be
afraid of it because it skaters
perhaps the conceptions and
ideas of previous years.
Truth is revolutionary. 1t
tears down that which stands
on false foundations In order
that that which is enduring may
remain.
With the Psalmist David, we
should all "desire truth in the
inward parts" and should earn
estIy and honestly choose the
way of truth, but we should re-
member two dangers which
threaten the seeker after truth.
First, that the cold, intellect
ual search after truth, without
that warmth of love and faith
from God which can make of
that truth a real live factor in
the lives of men is to really hold
the truth in error
Truth cannot find its real and
full expression apart from love.
God is first love, and then truth,
or rather he is truth because he
is love. He could not be truth
apart from love and love could
not manifest itself except as 1t
was grounded In truth.
Therefore, cold inteIIectuaIism
can never measure the full
meaning of truth. They car
make an idol of truth itself, and
can develop a consuming pas
sion for the search for truth
as they measure and weigh
everything in life, and in the
very doing of it they can miss
God himself. For truth is not
the sum total of God, but truth
is found in God; is a part of
God.
And the second danger is the
half truths which seize hold up
on the heart and sway the life
as though all the truth were
known and understood. Half
truths are always full of peril.
