For every one of us, sooner or later,

The Grateful Heart.

Blessings beyond what can be
counted are enjoyed by the children
of men. Every breath is adding to
their number, both as regards the
body and the soul, and yet, as If we
had title to them all and more, we
seize upon the gift, and forget to
praise the Giver. AS when the ten
lepers were cleansed, only one re-
turned to thank his Deliverer, few
are ready now with thanksgiving for
the mercies which they enjoy in such
ample abundance.
1t cannot be doubted that the re-
ligion of Jesus is designed to make us
happy. The very God of peace would
thereby diffuse a portion of the Joy
Of heaven through mans heart upon
earth. And how can that be better
promoted than by cherishing the
spirit of praise-by recognizing God s
goodness in every gift, and thanking
Him for 1t by acknowledging our own
unworthiness. and the Lords loving
kindness! When life on earth is thus
a hymn, existence in heaven will be
one long hosanna.-W. X. Tweedle.

MODERN Road CONSTRUCTION.


An address was delivered by C.i,
ford Richardson. Member American
Society of Civil Engineers, before the
Oneida Historical Society at Utica,
N. y, in which the subject of modern
road construction and the present
limitations of its effectiveness were
set forth.
There are" says Mr.. Richardson,
several points in connection with the
road problem which have received too
little and demand the most careful
attention"
''We are, apparently, expending to-
day very large sums of money in
building large extent of macadam
and other improved forms of road
way. But England and Wales, with
mileage of 149,759 expended In the
year 1905-6 s63,316.S74 upon her
roads, principally in their mainte-
nance, or at the rate of $415 per
mile. The mileage is about twice as
great ss in the State of New York,
but the e.ea is only twenty-five and
half per cent. greater. The amount
annually being expended in New
York is, therefore,, comparatively
small. although relatively larger than
in previous years"
In commenting on the outcome OF
the international Good Roads Con-
gress at Paris, and the opportunities
Afforded for examining continental
highways, Mr.. Richardson expresses
satisfaction in the knowledge that
American roads when opened to traf-
fic are in no sense inferior to those
of Europe; that 1t was the damage to
French roads caused by heavy motor
traffic, and the problem of how to
meet 1t. which caused the congress
to be called.
From this point of view, It will
be OF interest to determine whether
the macadam roads of the State of
New York that are now being con-
structed are of the highest type,
whether II Is wise to construct such
roads where they are exposed to mo-
tor traffic, and whether they are being
economically constructed. The gem
eral opinions expressed at Paris by
the ablest English and French engi-
neers was that the road to meet mod
ern motor traffic must be constructed
with a more resistant surface, which
is brought about by introducing into
the wearing surface some bituminous
cementing material Good Roads

The phenomenon OF "auto-rota.

been given at the "aerodynamic la
boratory" at Koutchino, Russia, be-
cause 1t is thought that II may lead to
important results affecting the use OF

Its principal significance seems TO be
In the light that II throws on the i'm

The Universal Lesson.

The sun does not shine for few
trees and flowers, but for the wide
worlds Joy. The lonely pine of the
mountain top waves its somber
boughs and cries, Thou art my sum-! "
and the little meadow violet lifts its
cup Of blue and whispers with its per-
fumed breath, "Thou art my sum-" "
and the grain in thousand fields rus.
ties in the wind and makes answer,
"Thou art my SUM-" So God sits, eff
fulgent, in heaven, not for favored
few, but for the universe of life, and
there is no creature so poor or so low
that he may not look up with child
like confidence and say, "My Father,
Thou art mine! Rev. Henry Ward

The New Acts Of the Apostles-(Matt
% 20. Acts 18 1nl


20. 20; Acts 18. 1o.)
Matt. %. 20. Here is the commits
sion; 1t leaves the Christian no alter
native. We are under bonds, as sure
ly as were the Christians of the early
church, to spread the tidings of the
salvation that is in Christ to every
body we can reach. And we are to
teach them not merely few selected
parts of the gospel but all of it, 'all
things whatever | commanded you"
That text alone is sufficient excuse
for all forms of missionary effort, all
forms of social service, all forms Of
teaching and healing and preaching
and helping. There were deacons
and deaconesses in the old church, as
there are in the new; revivals and
ministration to bodily needs are not
modern Christian inventions.
Acts 18. 10. The promise of i'm
munity from all real harm is Gods
pledge to every servant of his, from
Paul down to the latest convert. Not
always by the same means, not always
with the same outward results, but al
ways in his own perfect way, God has
kept his people and has saved them
from the power of the evil that sought
to destroy them.
The book of Acts has been called
the first volume of missionary his
tory. 1t tells of the beginning of the
great endeavor to win the world; and
1t tells of the perils which came to
the early church and its leaders.
To read the book of Acts is to get
into the very heart of the missionary
movement. Here we find active.
eager evangelism; messengers of the
gospel speed from city to city and
from country to country. And here
we find peril. prosecutions, and even
martyrdom.
