Fair are the meadows,
Fairer still the woodlands.

Fair is the sunshine.

And all the twinkling starry host.

The Word and Nature.

The whole Bible is spread out in types
of nature. 1t is our knowledge of God:
beautiful outdoors that enables us to TN
derstand the written word of revelation
Through nature we look to natures
Cod is not mere form of rhetoric or
an unmeaning expression. We see ODD
in all His works. The earth and sky are
full of the knowledge and glory of God
and tell their wondrous story of His
power, beauty and love to angels and to
men.
Roll lovely earth. and still roll on
With oceans azure beauty bound;
While one sweet star. the pearly moon.
Pursues thee through the blue profound;
And angels with delightful eyes
Behold thy tents of mount and stream
From the high walls Of paradise,
Swift wheeling like glorious dream.
Roll planets, ON your dazzling road,
Forever sweeping round the sum-;
What eyes beheld when first ye glowed!
What eye shall see your courses done.
Roll in your solemn majesty,
We deathless splend0rs OF the skies
High affairs, from which angels
The incense of creation rise.

us suggest the great truth that there are
corresponding elevations of thought and
purpose in the spiritual world. We are
led to think of Mount Horeb or Mount
Sinai, and hear voice, saying, IF We
will obey my voice and keep my cove
nant. then We shall be peculiar treasure
unto me above all people; for all the
earth is mine,' ands then in spiritual
vision we see the tablet of stone on
which Gods finger has traced the duties
due to Him and to our fellow-men. Lift
ing our eyes to the hills We are remind
ed, too, of Mount MOriah and are able
to grasp some of the stupendous gran
deur of the faith there bequeathed to the
church of God and to understand how
by faith and obedience the law of Sinai
may be honored and revered. But above
all we are reminded of the hill of Cal

birthplace of a divine and eternal race.

Help From the Hills.

If in Gods outdoors. the hills that rise
before u.s. remind us of the hill of God 8
law; the hill Of faith and the hill of sacri-
fee and atonement, and our hearts have
rejoiced in those sacred memories, we
shall have graduated in the highest teach
ings of nature and grace.
In nature we have many manifestations
of God. In the words of James Grahame
We are told He is,
present Deity in all.
1t is His presence that diffuses charms
Unspeakable DER mountain, wood and stream;
To think that He who hears the heavenly choir
Hearkens cOmplacent to the woodland song;
To think that He who rolls yon solar sphere
Uplifts the warbling sOngster TO the sky;
To mark His presence in the mighty bow
That spans the clouds, in the unts minute
OF tiniest flowers; to hear His awful voice
In thunders speak, and whisper in the gale;
To know and feel His care for all that lives;
IT'S this that makes the barren waste appear
fruitful field, each grove . paradise

Meaning of Temptation.

Why should we all be tried in the fires
Of such a conflict as this? Why should
Jesus have to endure this same entice-
ment at the hands of Satan? The mean
ing seems clear to us, both in the light
Of our own testing and His.
We may never know ourselves or God
until We have met temptation in it's three
fold form and overcome it through the
grace of God. Temptation is the sieve
whose meshes prove our spiritual size.
When Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon
Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you,
that he might sift you as wheat" He
voiced the eternal truth concerning the
testing of the souls of men. 1t matters
not whether 1t be our parents, back in
Eden, or Moses leaving Egypt for con-
science sake. or Job enduring through the
grace OF God, or Jesus hungry on the
mountainS1de, or your ordeal or mine, the
answer Is the same. The adversary claims
the right to try the souls of men, and
when God so permits, with the permits
sion He provides grace sufficient for
the trying hour.
Nature of This First Temptation.
Children of earth we are, creatures of
appetite. till Gods good grace gives us
the power to overcome; and hence our
Master. tasting every form of trial for
our sakes. must needs taste that by
which SO many yield. Eat, drink" it is
the same old plea. coupled in Jesus case
with sneering doubt: but nearly six
weeks of self-conqLest had strengthened
rather than weakened the holy resolution
OF His life. and, turning to His Fathers
word. he quotes: Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that pro-
ceedeth out of the mouth of Cod Then
Satan lays this trusted weapon by, to try
another, of which We shall hear next
week. But remember, ere We leave this
thought. that he who conquers well the
flesh, with all the snares of appetite has
laid good foundation for future con-
quests in the larger strife

Secret of Overcoming Power.

AS Jesus. alone and hungry, faced the
tempter in the wilderness, and conquered
for our sakes the enemy Of man, He used
the weapons man must use if, like his
Lord, he means to overcome. Renouncing
self. acknowledging His need. facing His
foe as man his foe must face, He
whipped the shining blade of Gods eter-
nal word from its warm scabbard. in His
we'll stored mind and heart and dared
on God.
We stand abashed before a scene like
this. in which the Son of God faces the
adversary Of the race and conquers with
weapons meant for men. We cannot
fathOm all the mystery that shrouds the
working Of His mind-human-divine But
we may prove, in fierce temptation S
hour. how worthy are the means He
used. and if, like Him, We cast ourselves
behind. and put the word and grace of
God before, as shield and sword, we shall
be sure of that same victory which He
achieved. and which will form the theme
of ransomed souls before the throne of
God.

Indian commissioners Favor Freeing
Indian Prisoners of War and AIiOt-

Washington. D. - 1

Washington. D. -. Dec. 4.-The
board Of commissioners has advanced
the proposition thac Z59 Apache indians,
who are prisoners of war on the Fort
Sill military reservation, Oklahoma, be
set free.
The great part of them so desiring, it
is proposed by the board that they shall
be transported and given their liberty
on the reservation in New Mexico set
apart for their cousins the Mescalero
Apaches. Allotment of land to the
freed indians on the same basis as the
resident indians on the reservation IS
proposed.
Only six or seven of these prisoners
had any part in Geronimo's attempt to
upset the government of the great
White Father. Many were merely TEL
low tribesmen. who fell under suspi-
cion of giving support for a losing
cause. The greater part of them, how
ever, are children Of a new generation,
who were not born when Geronimo
gave the trained troops of the United
States "a gigantic task to subdue him.
The board of commissioners is in
favor of legislation which would pro-
vide an appropriation of 100000 for
transfer to New Mexico of the indians
who chose to go, and their establish
