knowledge and Faith.

The to the Most High are
many. There is a way somewhere
from every life and never precisely
the same way for any two lives. The
way begins at just the level on which
the life is found. Because religion is
the way from our present selves to
that ideal and complete social self IN
every life the religion depends, after
all, on the self.
Knowledge does not lead away from
faith; it leads into it's fuller light
ones faith is not a set OF formal state
ments, Interchangeable and subject to
be shattered by the v~erification OF new
facts. 1t is a spirit in life, a habit
and trend of the spirit which leads the
life forward through every realm OF
fact. 1t Is not an outer garment; 1T IS
an inner spirit which guides onward
though the developing life may cast
aside its outgrowth garments.
Science is our reading of the rela-
lions of the facts of life; religion is
the confidence and longing that reads
all In the light of nfe's charging ends
and increasing values. Your religion
cannot be tested by the facts OF
science. It is tested by its value as a
force in your life. A worthy faith
fears no knowledge; it rejoices IN all
that enriches and enlarges life. It
welcomes science as the servant OF
the growing soul.

The Same Old John L.

Old John l.. Sullivan always had a
fine Irish wit, and it remains with him
in his advanced age. Not long ago he
was appearing in a Baltimore theater
and the manager, for business rea-
sons, introduced him to a wealthy
youth of the town. The youth was a
typical chollyboy, the sort of a speci-
men that old John abhors. Sullivan
was washing his face in the theater
dressing room when the two arrived.
and they waited patiently until he had
finished his ablutions. When John
had dried his c~ountenance he gave the
dude one look, and then said to the
manager: well, l congratulate you,
Jack, is it a boy or a girl?"

Gardiner, Me.-"I was a great suf-

Because your case is a difficult one,
doctors having done you no good,
do not continue to suffer without
giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial. 1t surely has cured
many cases of female ills, such as in
flammation, liberation. displacements,
fbroid tumors, irregularities, periodic
pains, backache, that bearing-down
feeling, Indigestion, dizziness, and ner-
vous prostration. 1t costs but a trifie
to try it, and the result is worth mil

GEMS FROM THE BOOK.

If thou hast understanding,
answer thy neighbor; If not,
lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
Be not called a Whisperer,
and lie not In wait with thy
tongue.
Pride Is the beginning of sin.
Forsake not an old friend;
for the new Is not comparable
to him.
Bear not hatred to thy neigh
Dor for every wrong; and do
nothing at all by injurious
practices.
He that toucheth pitch shall
be defiIed Herewith; and he
that hath fellowship with a
proud man shall be like unto
him.
A fool will upbraid churlish-
Iy, and a gift of the envious con-
sumeth the eyes.
Learn before thou speakest.
w HOt 0tbCt my tdStop
frain myself from thine appe-
titles.
He that Is hasty 20 give credit
is Iight-mirded.
He that can rule his tongue
shall live without strife.
AS an arrow that sticketh In
a mans thigh, SC is a word
within a FOOLS belly.
A man's attire, an excessive
laughter, and gait, show what
he is.
Wisdom that Is hid and treas
ure that Is boarded up, what
profit is in them both7
Better IS he that hideth his
folly than a man that hideth his
wisdom.
A wise mar will hold his
tongue till he see opportunity;
but a babbler and a fool will re-
gard no time.
A tale out Of season is as
music in mourning; but stripes
and correction of wisdom are
never out of time.

THE STORY.

THE interest which Lycius had man.
i ifested in the great men of Israel
had stirred the heart of Jesus the son
of Sirach, and during the days which
followed their conference in the gar.
den he had given himself up to much
thought and research, digging up the
dusty old scrolls of the history of his
people and running through them with
new interest and eagerness.
Il believe Lycius was right when he
said that it was wrong not to give
these records to the people. What if
the most of them then would be I'm.
moved by them, there are still a few
who would be helped and inspired
by the memory of those who had
wrought splendidly with God"
He had been busy writing and had
let his stylus fall from his hand while
speaking to himself. Then, picking
it up and placing it with the parch.
fment he had been working upon, he
arose with an air of determination as
though some new purpose had come
to him and walked with strong even
strides back towards the city.
He sought out the governor and told
him all that was in his heart, and as
he was leaving he asked:
And thou wilt be there?"
"Yea, and others of the household
with me-"
The steps of the scribe were now
directed towards the market-place of
the city, whittier the people were
wont to gathe. when any matter of
special Importance was to be dis.
cussed.
Il will go and see that the place is
in readiness against the gathering of
the people this evening. And we will
give the people a message that per.
haps will stir them to better living.
But / must find Lycius." he said, sud.
denly remembering that he had not
seen him all day. He was about to
turn back in the direction Of his
home, when voices from the direction
of the market place drew his atten.
ton.
II will go first and see what there
is that is going on there, and will
then find Lycius, for he would be
greatly cheered to know that his
suggestion of a few days ago is
being acted upon." he said to him
self as be walked along.
By this time he had reached the out
skirts of the crowd which he found
assembled in the market place, and
with wonder and surprise he pressed
his way through to the spot where a
man stood reading.
WHAT You, Lycius?" he ex-
claimed in amazement. How came
YOU here? And what art thou do
ing"
Listen, and thou shalt hear" re-
piled the man, enthusiastically. as he
again took up the scroll and pointed
out over the eager. upturned faces
before him.

well-known Louisville woman who Is
