that the Jew, not content with the eX-
orbitancy of his profit, was veXed he
had not penetrated into his ignorance,
and was going to run after him, to en-
deavor to get some change out of the
piece of gold; but Aladdin ran so fast,
and had got so far, that it would have
been impossible to overtake him.
Before Aladdin went home, he called
at a bakers, bought some cakes of
bread, changed his money, and on his
return gave the rest to his mother,
who went and purchased provisions
enough to last them some time. After
this manner they lived, till Aladdin
had sold the twelve dishes singly, as
necessity pressed, to the Jew, for the
same money; who. after the first time,
burst not offer him less, for fear OF
losing so good a bargain. When he

as much as the dishes, and would have
carried it to his old purchaser, but
that it was too large and cumbersome;
therefore he was obliged to bring him
home with him to his mothers where.
after the Jew had examined the
weight of the tray, he laid down ten
pieces of gold, with which Aladdin was
very well satisfied.
When all the money was spent,
Aladdin had recourse again to the
lamp. He took it in his hands, looked

rubbed it with the sand, and rubbed ii
also, when the genie Immediately APP

have? l am ready to obey thee as thy
slave, and the slave of all those who
have that lamp in their hands; |, and
the other slaves of the lamp" Il am
hungry" said Aladdin, bring me
something to eat" The genie disap-
peared, and presently returned with a
tray and the same number OF covered
dishes as before set them down, and
vanished.
AS soon as Aladdin found that their
provisions were again expended, he
took one of the dishes and went to look
for his Jew chapman; but as he pass
ed by a gOldsmith's shop, the gold
smith perCeiving him, called to him.
and said, My lad, | imagine that YOU
have something To sell to the Jew,

haps you do not know that he is the
greatest rogue even among the Jews
| will give YOU the full worth of what
YOU have To sell, or | will direct YOU
I" other merchants who will not cheat
YOU"
This offer induced Aladdin to pull
his plate from under his vcSt and show
it to the goldsmith: who at first sight
saw that il was made of the finest sill
Yer. and asked him if he had sold such
as that TO the lew: when Aladdin told

THEY NEVER SPEAK.
German Workers In African Monas-
terry Are Strange Men.

The Trappist Monastery at Marian
hill, South Africa, is a German centre,
saws a writer in the Wide World. The
community consists of the fathers and
the brothers. The fathers wear whits
serge habits tied with ropes and are
tonsured. Their VOWS are for life, ana
one of them is that Of everlasting ST.
lence. 1t can only. he broken by spe-
cial dispensation from Rome. The
VOWS of the brothers are for life, but
their rules are less strict than those OF
the fathers, and they are not pledged
tn eternal silence Their habits are
of coarse brown serge, with rope
girdles, and they wear sandals. They
do all the work of the monastery in
and out Of doors, and ply the trades
practiced in the various shops of the
cnt-bookbinding, printing, en-
ginccring, saddlcry, tannery, mill
work. bakery, and so on. The mOnas-
terry is entirely self-contained. and
manufactures everything it consumes.
The wool from the Sleeps backs is
transferred to those of the monks
millcd. cardcd and woven within the
monastery gates. Outside orders from
Durham and elsewhere, are also full
filled i'm the various departments. and
the moneys so earned are devoted tc
the up-keep of the settlement.
The monastery is virtually mis-
sion for the instruction and conversion
To the Roman Catholic faith of young
Kaffir boys and girls. In this work the
monks are aided by community oi
German nuns, the Sisters of the
Bleeding Heart, who are located in a
convent in the settlement with a
mother superior. but are not recoE-

The mother and son sat at breakfast
till it was dinner time, and then they
thought it would be best to put the
two meals together; yet, after this
they found they should have enough
left TO. upper. and two meals for the
next day.
When Aladdin's mother had taken
away and set by what was left, she
went and sat down by her son on the
sofa, saying, Il expect now that you
should satisfy my impatience, and tell
me exactly what passed between the
genie and you while was in a
swoon;" which he readily complied
with.
She was in as great amazement at
what her son told her. as at the ap-
pearance of the genie; and said to
him, But, son, what have we to do
with genies? 1 never heard that any
of my acquaintance had ever seen one.
How came that vile genie To address
himself to me, and not to you, to
whom he had appeared before in the
cave?" Mother" answered Aladdin.

IN THE CHURCHES.

This age is bargain counter age,
people endeavoring to get something
for nothing" was the declaration Of
Rev. c. o. Beckman at the First Meth
odist church Sunday morning. His
text was from 1. John, SIS. For this
is the love of God, that we keep his
commandments, and his commandments
are not greviouS."
He declared that too many people
thought it was hard to keep the COM
mandments, but said this statement Of
the apostle John contradicted this. He
said:
There are many christians who talk
as though what they gave up for
Jesuss sake was very valuable, and
what they received did not compensate
for the loss. Is this true? John says
it is not.
Take the best saint you ever knew
and ask him what he thinks of the
hardship in keeping Jesus's command
ments Ask the vilest sinner you know
what he thinks of the joy of breaking
his commandments, and it will not be
difficult for you TO discover that the
saint does not consider Gods COM
rnandments a hardship.
There is the commandment to Love
your neighbor as yourself If you love
those who love you, what reward have
you? Everyone else does the same.

wide difference between hearing and
doing.
The warning of the missioner was
chiefly against the danger of misdi-
rected effort" he said. Shaving away
from morning to night, We may yet
be headed deliberately in the wrong
direction. We say that we believe in
God; that he Is the maker CT me uni
verse; that all the gold and silver are
his, and all the cattle upon a thousand
hills, yet coming out to the busy west,
men lay their convictions to one side
to engage in a mad scramble for ma
terial things as though God had no
part In their requirement, as though
his laws could be expected to reverse
themselves and work backward.
What was most clearly set before
us was the orderlinesS of Gods deal
ings with his creatures. There are no
accidents in Gods universe. 1t is a
world of law and order. The employ
ment of certain means brings about
certain results, beyond question. The
law of progress in the spiritual world
is as true in things material We want
to lead better lives. and every man
expects some time or other to give his
very careful consideration to this mat
ter; yet we go on consciously in the
wrong direction, forgetting that the
laws of habit are as strong in one d.
rection as another.
in things that make for worldly
living, the missioner stressed the diff
ference between use and abuse. Things
innocent in themselves are made harm
full by making them chief ends and
objects of life.
THE coming Lenten season will give
opportunity for the more earnest con-
sideration of these things, and the visit
of the bishop early in March should
bring out a stalwart band of chris
tian soldiers, ready to put on their
armor and give good account Of them
selves to their leader"

MUST RESPECT NON
CHRISTIAN NATIONS
Rev. Mr.. Rice Speaks on the
Mission Movement IN a
New Light.

The missionary movement was put in
new light by Rev. Mr.. Rice at the
First Christian church Sunday. He
mems missionary movement, now I'M
der way, and declared that the one
great problem in foreign mission work
at present is that of adequately sup
plying the demands that have arisen
out of the successes of the past.
The nonchristian nations are all of
them passing through radical changes"
he declared. They have become
aware of western civilization and the
west has come to regard the east with
a new sense of its Importance. Once
the problem of foreign missions was
thought to be the effort of pious peo
pie to save few heathens from ever
lasting torment; now ii is seen to be a
problem involving craftsmanship of the
highest order.
President Taft has said that the
missionary work of the churches is in
dispensible TO the commercial develop
ment of the nations. The nonchristian
nations are not the ignorant, stupid
lot that We have supposed them to be.
Iney are ndJlOnS Win histories pnll-
osophies, civilizations and religions
that demand our investigation, if not
our respect.
The work OF missions is therefore
distinctly a mans job and the laymen's
missionary movement has arisen in the
nick of time to arouse the men of the
churches to a realization Of the i'm
portance of the task"
In the evening the sermon dealt with
the significance of the young peoples

A CHRISTIAN Can
MAKE MONEY AND

1t Is Not a Sin to Be
Good Business Man.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God
ana his righteousness" was the text
Tor an interesting address at the Y.

Mr.. Preston evidently believes in en-
thusiasm, for he said: When it was
discovered that 1 was in search of a
house for purchase, the FL Paso real
estate men almost wore out the carpet
leading to my rooms at the hotel, so
Keen were they to present the various
bargains that could be displayed to

however, and for the return of which
we pray, has been characterized by a
high grade of zeal. Only men and
women who put first things first will
ever accomplish much in the kingdom
of God.
Observe that Christ does not say.
First things only He was far too
sane, too reasonable, too wise, too hu-
man, to give such advice or urge such
counsel. Human life cannot be lived
at the altitude of first things only
for in that rarefied and difficult air
even stalwart faith would fall That
was the fault and the failure of mo-
Mysticism, for it tried to substitute the
word first with the word only and
