Johnson's far-famed golden smile
was in evidence from bell to bell, and
the tantalizing lefts and forceful

DELICACY OUT OF SEASON
Farmer Absolutely Unable to Under
stand the Possibility of Ice
in July.

We are so accustomed to having
things 'out of season. and especially
to the cutting and storing of ice for
use in the summer, that it is hard to
put ourselves in the place of the sim
pie old farmer told of by a writer in
the Toledo Blade.
In the summer of 1900 a party OF
surveyors was working through the
state of Arkansas, surveying and 10
eating the Midland Valley road. One
day the surveying corps stopped at a
farmhouse and shouted for the farmer
The Arkansan came out, and the
surveyors asked him if they could get
a drink.
certainly, boys he said. I'll give
you the best I've got, and the best I've
got is buttermilk."
THAT will be fine" the surveyors
said, and the old farmer gave each OF
the gang a glass Of buttermilk.
It's mighty good" said one Of the
surveyors to McLOud.
Yes, indeed" Mcleod replied, but
it would be better if we had some ice
to put in it."
Turning to the farmer, McLout
said, Have you any ice?'
'Ice!" shouted the farmer, tuggine
at his whiskeTs. ice! Who ever
heard of ice in July?"-Youths Com

LOVE LEADS TO THE CROSS
SUFFERING and Service vitality Re,
lated-Great Events Sub
stantiate the Fact.

It is the nature of love to make
sacrifices. 1t was not so much that
Christ was divine as that he was
human that he suffered. Love in its
strongest and best expression termln-
ates in suffering and sacrifice. HUI
man love inevitably leads to its cross
in proportion to its perfection. If
the individual loves little, he will sac
rifice little; if he loves much, he Will
sacrifice much. Love is a unit. In
what respect does love in God and
| love in man differ? Does it mean
| but q difference in degree? He who
was most perfect and the greatest
man, loved and suffered accordingly.
| Gods love and that of a Christian
| differs not in kind, but in degree. The
1--we of God is shed abroad in a
| Christians heart, and it is through
J and by that love that man endures
| suffering and makes sacrifices. Love
| in God and in man cannot be fully ex-
| pressed.
Inward Calvary means that human
love leads to the cross and to suffer
| ing. AS we look upon Chrlsts cross,
it is fulfillment of the Christians
love. Inward Calvary shows that the
outward Calvary was inevitable;
Christ could not help himself but to
die-He would not have been true
Saviour if he had not died.
Suffering and service are vitality Re
lated. Every important event chron
icled in history substantiates that fact
A mere mention of some of them will
be readily remembered by the reader
The salvation of the world through
Jesus Christ; the discovery of Ameri
ca by Columbus. The law obtains IL
the kingdom of God, from inward Cal
vary to TRANSPORTATION blessings ant
to resurrection victories and joys.

THE STORY.

ATEVER did the cry of the nations of
~ modern history, "the king is dead;
long live the king" stir loyal hearts
of the nation with sadder regrets over
the departed ruler, and warm-hearted
support for the leader upon whom the
purple robe had fallen, than did the
cry, which swept over the nation of
Israel centuries before modern history
began to he made:
Jonathan is dead. Simon shall be
our leader"
Great leaders fulfill their mission
and then pass on to give place for 9th
ers. Fortunate, indeed, is that ma
ton who has a great man to step into
the place made vacant by the death If
mighty leader
Jonathan through treachery came tn
an untimely end, and his brother
Simon stepped into the breach and
gave to his nation an even greater
reign than had the former
With great honors Jonathan was

Such was the query on every ones

Simon as he travelled hither and

"The nation is respected as far as

When to Send Children to Europe.

Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are Inundated by others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evil
dent injustice: at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk we'll and speak few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in stateroom, next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six, when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home in
time for the first night at the opera

SERMONETTE.

Simon, one of the Maccabeean
rulers, was able to restore much
OF the oId-time prosperity and
power of the Jewish nation, so
that it is recorded of his reign:
"Then did they till their
ground in peace, and the earth
gave her increase, and the trees
Of the field their fruit.
"The ancient men sat all in
the streets, communing together
of good things, and the young
men put on glorious and war
like apparel.
"He (Simon) provided vic
tuaIs for the cities, and set in
them all manner of munition, so
that his honorable name was
renowned unto the end of the
world.
"He made peace in the land,
and israel rejoiced with great
Joy:
"For every man sat under his
vine and his f1g-tree; and there
was none to fray them"
Who can say but that the
Jews at this period believed and
rejoiced that the prophecy Of
Micah had been fulfilled when
he said:
"They shall sit every man
under his vine and under his fig
tree; and none shall make them
afraid; for the mouth of the
LORD of Hosts hath spoken it.
"For all people will walk
every one in the name of his
God, and will walk in the name
of the Lord our God for ever
and ever.
an that day, saith the Lord,
will assemble her that haIteth
and | will gather her that is
driven out, and her that have
afflicted.
"And | will make her that
halted a remnant, and her that
was cast off a strong nation;
and the Lord shall reign over
them in Mount Zion from hence
forth, even forever"
And still the Jews are look
ing for a great miIIenniaI bless
ing. Prophecy is full Of its
promises of the time yet to
come. At various periods there
have been feretastes of the full
prophecy.
The Christian church is look
ing for the millennium. Some
with one conception as to real
meaning of Scripturai promises;
others still hold a different in
depreciation.
Those poor misguided fanatics
down in the far New England
state who the other day laid
aside all worldly pursuits and
gave themselves up to the an
ticipated coming of Christ is an
extreme illustration of how
powerful an influence such hope
in the declarations of the Bible
can exert.
But the coming of the mil
lennium will not be by obser-
walton, for Christ's own word
declares that mo man knoweth
the day or the hour when the
Son Of Man cometh."
That he will come he so de-
clared, the early church be-
IieVed, and many deVout Bible
scholars still believe.
The promise of the complete
rule of the Lord over all the
earth has not yet been fulfilled,
but who would dare say that it
was not yet to be? Who would
dare to say that the word
spoken by the Prophet Micah
will not be literally fulfilled
