A beautiful Illuminated manuscript was sold
IN London the other day for $3.50. It was
French Fifteenth Century Book of Hours. and
was attributed to Geofroy Tory whose life and
works are admirably described in the fine vol
ume recently published by the Houghton Milf
fin Company. The attribution was justly made
on the ground of the resemblance OF parts Of

The Life In Christ.

might have life, and that they might
have 1t more abundantly." The world
does not realize it-but "to live is
Christ; that is, to know and serve
Christ is really and truly to live;
whereas the service of the world and
self is mere existence. So far from
being cramping, restrictive ipflu.
ence, allegiance to Christ is an intro.
duction to an infinitely wider and full.
er experience. "All things are yours,
and ye are Christ's, and Christ is
Gods" To see life in its true sense
Is to realize its expanding possibilities
as the grace of God enlarges its scope.
In the realm and service of God every.
thing abounds-love abounds; grace
abounds; life abounds.

ANNUITY GIVEN TO WIDOWS
Origin Of Longtime Custom In Mas
ssohusetts Village is Lost In
Antiquity.

One hundred of the largest and
most tender herrings Is the annuity
offer to all the widows residing with
In the confines Of town of Pembroke
a small Massachusetts, village. 1t is q
time-honored custom, and its origin is
beyond recall of the Oldest inhabit-
ants memory. The weirs are town
property. John lie Fargo is In charge
Of the fishing, and he sees to 1t that
every householder gets all the herring
he is entitled to. always remembering
extra 100
Each male resident of the town is
allowed to come to the weirs and
catch 200 herrings, for which he pays
so cents. But any of the widows of
the town may Lave their 200 fish at
that rate and in addition 100 fish are
given to them free, according to the
old custom.
Lively scenes are enacted as the
residents rush to the brook where the
fishing is done. Oftentimes as many
as 25 or 30 are waiting their turn
The brook bears the name of Bar
ker stream, after family which set
tied there in the early part of the
seventeenth century, within stones
throw of the weirs. Barker stream,
or brook, as it has been called in
later years, flows into the North river
at Marshf1eld boundary, but the place
where the old homestead used to
stand is the only one in its entire
length where fishing is permitted.
From 10000 to 10000 herring are
taken from the brook every year, but
the only fish sold of this number are
the ones left by the householders who
do not care to take their share. These
are sold to merchants, the revenue
going to the town treasury.

REAL SOURCE OF STRENGTH
Astounding Love Of the Saviour Where-
In the Christian Serves and
Is Served.

Christ's love does not depend ON our
faith, but our faith depends ON his
love. Our service depends on his love,
also. We need to feed our faith there
II we are to serve him at all. "If any
man serve me, let him follow me-"
The way to serve is to be disciple;
to sit at his feet, to learn of him.
Before we can do his work we must
drink of his spirit and let him teach
us his secret. Before we can serve
him we must be humble enough to let
him serve US. Behold" said Thomas
a Kempis, "all things are thine which
I have and whereby serve thee. And
yet contrariwise thou rather servest
me than thee"
This is the root of our faith, the
source Of our. strength, and the very
heart of our communion: Namely, that
the Son Of Man came not to be min.
istered unto but to minister. There are
other aspects of religion, the fight Of
faith, the witness to the truth, Chris
tian service, and the. whole issue in
practice of Christian love, but this
first, and this last, also, and this all
the time, that our spiritual life de-
pends utterly on Christ. Creep close
to the warmth of his love; get near
to the source Of all your Joy and ser.
vice. Let the Son of Man minister to
you, serve you with his own sweet
courtesy.-Hugh Black, M. A.

IL Had a Familiar Sound,

Abraham Schiff, who was arrested
with several friends in Newark for
gambling, was arraigned before Judge
that city recently and made the plea
that they were merely playing a Rus

Explain the game" said Judge
Herr.

"you match cards together. If you
get two threes, why that counts more
than If you only got two twos. Then
you say that you think the threes are
pretty good, and put a chip down so
as to remember what you said. Then
II you If you can find some more
threes, or match UP another pair, why.
then your hand is so much better"
"The game sounds familiar" mused
Judge Herr. Suppose you get hand
that consisted only Of diamonds
would that be good hand?"
Very good, your honor"
Now, suppose in your hand the
cards were all of one suit, and ran
from the ace to the ten spot. Would
that be better?"
"Oh, your honor, 1t would be lovely"
exclaimed Schiff, rubbing his hands
joyfully.
"And suppose you'd have to put
up lot of chips to remember what a
good hand you had. I've heard of the
game. The Russians call 1t jakpoto-

with wilier tricks than their own.
"Once he illustrated his policy to
