Want TO No. Mustaohea.

AT meeting of the domestic serv.
ants in Paris to discuss their griev.
ances one, and not the least impor.
tant, question was whether domestic
servants should not be allowed like
their ellow-Frenchmen, to cultivate
the mustache. It was suggested that
to give the movement some sort of en-.
couragement nothing would be better
than that the servants at the Elysee
should be the first to agitate for the
privilege. The Gaulois says that this
has been done, the employees at the
presidents residence having trans.
mltted to M. Falneres a request that
henceforth they shall be allowed to
wear mustaches.

"Burlng the Bible" was the, subject
upon which the Rev. J. w. Musson. Of
Plainneld. \. j.. preached TO q large
congregation in Bethany Baptist
Church last night. The preacher took
for his text, jeremiah. Seth chapter,
and 23rd verse. which describes the at
tempt of Jehoikim. the wicked king OF
Judah to destroy the prophecy given
by jeremiah against the wickedness
of both king and people.
Mr.. Musson drew from this incident
some practical and pertinent truths.
He said in part
This incident presents to us. I. A great
opportunity. It was no small honor
that God conferred upon Jehoiakim, 10

and TO make him ruler over His chosen
people. What an. opportunity Jchoia-
kim had TO honor God. to benefit man
kind aud to erect for himself an un-
dying memorial. And what "A respon-
sibility was his also. A whole nation
was looking TO him for guidance. Had
Jehoiahim lived a life OF piety and
righteousness. things would have bee
very different in the kingdom. But

Every Man a King.

us king over a noble kingdom lie

Gods word. All such actions are futile.
for two reasons: First. Because in
doing so he did not go 10 the cause
of the trouble. Jeremiah's prophecy
did not cause the rejection OF the King
and the overthrow OF the nation. il
simply predicted it. Tho wickedness
of the king and the people was the
cause of if.
Gods Word IndestructibIe.
THE Bible does not create hell; II
simply reveals it. II is a danger sig
nal which God has mercifuliy hung out
to prevent us from rushing over the
precipice of life and going down &c
eternal woe. The way to avoid tho
~~'~'-- ~ is not to neglect or destro,
the warning but to heed the signal ant
reverse the action.
Again. il is futile to attempt to de.
stroy Gods word because it is in.
destructible. 1t. has passed through
many fires but it has always come ou
unscorched. You may burn the book
but you cannot destroy the truth. IIeav,
en- and earth shall pass away. but tn,
word Of our God shall stand forever.
Lastly we see here. a sure defeat
No ono can oppose God and prosper
Jehoiakim was put to death by Ne.
Duchadnezzar, and the people carried
away TO Babylon into captivity.
so all who oppose God shall perish
Let us rather listen to Gods Wort
as II tells us 20 receive jesus Christ

have victory and eternal life
