THE STORY.

SSIF YE will not deliver me Judas
l Maccabeus as prisoner. will lay
this temple of God even with the
ground. and | will break down the al
tar. and erect a notable temple unto
Bacchus.''
Nicanor thundered the words so all
in that vast assemblage before the
temple could hear That was a dra-
matte and tense scene. as the great
general standing above the heads OF
the multitude stretched forth his hand
toward the temple and delivered his
awful threat. Back of Nicanor and to
his right and left stood the soldiers
of his army. and filling all the space
before him was the multitude OF the
Jews who had been drawn together
when 1t was noised abroad in the city
that Nieanor had come and was
marching against the temple.
Judas or the Temple again shout
ed Nicanor. with rising passion. as he
noted the unresponsiye looks on the
faces of the Jews before him.

The consecrsted Life

Paul OF Tarsus gloried in the fact
that he did not live. preach and write
for himself. but served Another. from
Whom he derived his being. and to
Whom he delighted to consecrate all
his powers. Paul lived his life in the
spirit and with the system of n high
and noble ministry. He phrascd life
in terms OF the experiences Of the
other man; he projected himself out
In sacrifice upon the need OF the So
ciety Of his own time, In SO doing
Paul distributed his love and sympathy
and service among men OF all races
and conditions Of life. and such should
be the ideal for all Christians of the
present day.

on both the home and distant signals.
Where two or more lines cross at
grade the general plan of semaphore
arms for day and colored light for
night is the same. but owing to the
complications all signals are con-
trolled by levers operated by men

HOW BLOCK SIGNALS WORK
Operation OF Ingenious system That
tnsures the safety Of Railroad
Passengers.

Comparatively few people know
Just what Is meant by block signals
when they read that a railroad has es-
tablished the system on its lines.
The block Is length OF track which.
on double track roads. has at It's en-
trance n post and movable arm. and
on single track lines one at each end.
To say that n line has every inch
protected by this system means that
the entire line is divided into consec.
utive blocks. Only one line from Chit
cago to New York Is thus protected.
and Of the total in the United States.
onethird is on the Union and South.
ern Pacific.
The operation Of the block system
is simple but absolute. In few
words. II means that train cannot
move from one block into the next
until the latter block is empty IA q
train moves forward. the signal arm
Is set TO show that the block just left
may be entered by the next train
following. When train enters
