Eire Eron Eriction.

The Australian bushman uses o.
method of his own to procure a
light. First he selects two pieces of
light wood, each about a foot long,
from the cork tree or black fig tree.
One, a fat piece, he lays on the
ground amid a pile of dry leaves.
Upon this strip of wood he kneels
In order to hold down the ends.
Then he rolls the other pointed
stick between the palms of his
hands so that it bores hole into
the fat strip Of wood. This makes
fine wood dust, which catches on
fire, sending its spark among the
dry leaves. BY blowing upon the
tiny light the bushman soon has a
fire, which he feeds with more
leaves.

Difficult Scriptures on He'll.

A little book selling at only ten
cents, postpaid, is having a very wide
circulation - running up into the
millions. 1t contains some very star
Ting information respecting the
meaning of the word He'll. 1t claims
to demonstrate, both from the He
brew and the Greek of our Bible,
that He'll is NOT a place of eternal
torment, but merely another name
for the TOMB, the GRAVE, the STATE
OF DEATH. 1t effects to show that
man was not redeemed from far
off place of eternal torture, but
quotes the Scriptures proving that
he was REDEEMED from the GRAVE
at the cost of his Redeemer's LIFE
and that the Scriptural hope, both
for the church and the world, is a
resurrection hope based upon the
death and resurrection of Jesus. The
book tainly worth the reading.

tainly valuable, far beyond its trifling
cost. Order it at once from the Bible

Why longer amid shriveled leaf drifts

How trivial seem the struggle and the

How vain past feuds when reconeilins

How few mean half the bitterness they
