Tribute to Amazons.

The magnificent example Of the
women of Dahomey should be made
widely known wherever their more CIV
llized sisters are to be found strug-
Cling for their rights. Frederick Mar
tyn of the French foreign legion, who
fought in the recent Dahomey cam
paign, tells us emphatically that "the
female of the species is more deadly
than the male" The Senegalese trail
leurs were attacked by the Amazons,
and Mr.. Martyr says that "any one in
clined to sympathize with the Amsr
IONS on account of their sex and to
look upon the combat between them
and our men as unequal, may take it
from me that their sympathy would be
misplaced. These young women were
tar and away the best men in the Da-
homeyan army, and woman to man
we're quite a match for any of US.
They fought like unclaimed demons,
Ind if driven into a corner, did not
disdain to use their teeth and nails"
1t may be an error of policy to make
these facts known, and thus to stimu-
late militancy already vigorous
enough.

IMPORTANT NAVAL ANNIVERSARY.

Fifty years ago today took place
one of the most important events in
naval history, the launching of the
famous iron-clad ship Monitor at
Brooklyn. The construction of this
craft marked the turning point in the
great naval transition from the old
wooden warships to the modern bat
tleships of the dreadnought type. The
Monitor was the first fighter to be
equipped with revolving turret. A
short time after she was completed
there took place between her and the
Merrimac in Hampton Roads the first
battle between armored warships.
The Merrimac was an old wooden
vessel converted by the Confederate
Government into an iron-clad ram.
The result of the contest between the
two vessels was somewhat of a
"draw," but it settled the question
of the superiority of any kind of iron
clad ship over the old wooden men,
of-war. Immediately the nations of
the world began constructing new
iron vessels, and ever since there has
been a continuous effort on the one
hand to invent guns capable of de-
stroying existing vessels, and on the
other hand to invent guns capable of
resisting them. Great Britain was
easily first in the new departure, and
has occupied that position for half a
century, though closely pressed for
first honors by the United States and
Germany.

Unseen Universe.

i.-. unseen OnlvCIoSs'
In the vicinity Of the star S. Cor
onB Australis Innes and Worsell
have found a patch of sky rs minutes
of arc in diameter where no star can
be seen with a 9-inch refracting tele-
scope -
According to Innes, who discusses
the subject in ."Transvaal ObserVa-
tory Circular No. s." the apparent alb
sence of stars in this region IS due
to the occurrence of some absorbing
medium, interposed between us and
distant parts of the universe.
Stars in the neighborhood of the
dark region are enveloped in nebul@;
while just on the border of it there is
star which has been observed to
fuctuate in magnitude between 40
and 1872, and which was invisible
during the years 1S99-1901.
The latter fact is accounted for on
the superstition that the absorbing me-
dunn was for time in front of the
star, but has since withdrawn
from it.

Interest centers in the visit and ad-

terian Church, Market above Ninth
Mr.. Moghabbhab is the Syrian Guest"
who narrates the story Of the twenty
third Psalm as told by the Rev. viii
liam Knight in his "Song Of the
Syrian Guest He was born in the
heart Of Mount Lebanon, near the
famous cedars. His father was coh-
verted through reading a Bible which
he had plundered from one of the
Druses against whom he was fighting.
This Druse was using the leaves Of
the Bible for cartridges. He became
converted and was ordained minister
over the first church that was built in
Mount Lebanon since the days of the
Apostles and for thirty-three years
was a Protestant minister. Three of
his sons, including the speaker of
Sunday evening, are graduates of the
Syrian Protestant College in Beyrout
If any one thing more than another
influenced Mr.. Moghabghab to devote
his life almost exclusively to the tell
ing of the twenty-third Psalm it was
the scene at his fathers deathbed His
father called him to read it once more
He then continues: 1T had been his
greatest comfort in the days of his
persecuticn in the days when, fol-
the sake of the Saviour, he was ex.
communicated, separated from his
family expelled from his home, anC
forced to take refuge in a DrusC
house. When | began to read by his
! bedside, The Lord is my shepherd
beheld the tears dropping on hil
cheeks, and mine started Immediately
He looked at me and tried to raise
himself, but his strength failed hin
and he could only say. May the Coco
Shepherd be always yours as He has
been mine.
So Mr.. Moghabghab has sounded the
depths of this Psalm and his lecture
on Sunday evening will be helpful ant
fascinating The church will be crowd
ed beyond doubt. The services vii
begin at 7.45 o'clock.
The chorus choir will sing as ar

Satin an Angel of Light
ST. Paul intimated that Satan and
his messengers. the fallen angels,
would seek to transform themselves
so as to appear "as angels of light"
that they might exercise the greater
influence over humanity and that
thereby they might inculcate the more
successfully false doctrines, subvers-
i've of true faith in God and His Word.
We believe that the Apostles words
are particularly applicable in our day
and that many conscietious and good
people are being deceived. and that
miraculous healings are part of the
Adversary's bait It would not be ap-
propriate for us to enumerate here
the different doctrines which We be-
live are thus baited. We contenti
ourselves by giving the Scriptural
reason for expecting no miraculous
healings from God at the present
! time.
It is quite true that under the Law
Covenant which God made with Israel
He agreed that sickness would be a
penalty for violation of the Law. and
health a reward for the obedient. The
statement Of the Prophet, "Who heal
eth all thy diseases" was applicable
physically 10 the Israelites under. the
Law Covenant. It has also a spiri-
tual application to the Church, the
New Creation
But the healing of the New Crea-
ture and the healing of his flesh are
different things. The New Creatures
