THE STORY.

Sc I JERUSALEM, you say, is the place
- where the God of the Jews has
his dwelling place." Numbered Anti
ochus, in deTision. This God, you
say, fights for his people. By the gods
that watch over and give victory to
Antiochus will come to Jerusalem
and make it the common burying
ground Of the Jews" And in a rage,
terrible to see, the great warrior
strobe up and down in his palace at
Ecbatane, while awful cursings flowed
from his lips in perfect torrent
Only the day before he had reached
Ecbatone, and the bitter defeat which
he had suffered at the hands of the
Persians at Persepolis when he had
gone about the robbing of their tenn
pie still ranked in his veins. For this
reason he was i'll prepared to hear OF
the rout of Nicanor's army by the
Jews under Maccabeus. His had been
a defeat and retreat before the fren.
zied host of mighty city, but Mica
nor had lost over 10000 of his army
when contending with only 5000
poorly equipped Jews. Such defeat
seemed inexplicable and inexcusabIe
and when the messenger who brought
the tidings went on to declare that
the Jews had a mighty God who
fought for them he laughed in mad
derision and burst forth with the
proud boast with which our story
opens. He would heap contempt upor
the God of the Jews. He would make
Jerusalem burying ground for tbs
despised Israelites.
But it is Nicanor himself who de
clares this" expostulated the mes
senger. HE says that the God of tn,
Jews came down between them ant
his strong army so that he was pow
erIess to do them hurt. And whel
with holiness he sought to push tn,
battle this God Of the Jews turnet
and cast spell upon his army 81
that they fell before the swords of tn,
| Jews as the wheat straw falls befor
the hand of the reaper"
Again the derisive, half-mad laug
of Antiochus rang through the grea
audience room, and again he swor
awful curses against the God OF tn
Jews and boosted what he would d
with their temple.
"But II this God OF the Jews is
living God and does come to the al
Of his people" ventured the conf

pINEApPLE As A CURATIVE.

II has long been known that the pineapple is
OF the healthiest of fruits but its real medic
nal qualities probably have never been realized. In
Hawaii experiments have been made to determine
something of these properties. 1t has been found
that the fruit Of the pineapple contains digestive

sEMoNETTE.

True repentance never feels the
impulse Of the bargaining spirit.
That Is, repentance, so called,
which comes from a desire to es-
cape impending consequences Of
wrong doing, is not repentance.
Repentance, first Of all, Is
consciousness of the evil Of
wrong doing.
. Next, Il ls complete surrender
Of the lower self to the higher
self which Is struggling for rec

. Third, II is the turning, the

Repentance lie a sincere i'm
