 If the Christian faith can be accounted for upon purely human grounds then if it be out of harmony with modern thought, it must of course perish.

As such its further claim must be to mold its environment into harmony with it. self, not to accommodate itself to it's environment |" And, the proper leader in any community is the much beloved and trusted and consecrated pastor who has given years of study to ex- pert training for just this leadership.

Some Disciples Doubted.

II, The Appearance to the Clever
in GaIilee, Matt. 28:16-20. This event
took place much later than that men
toned in the first part of the previous
section. As we carefully read this
section it suggests that Jesus "a
somewhat removed from the dis
ciples, yet their vision was so clear
that they %worshiped him, though some
doubted. Drawing near to the dis
ciples he first of all emphasizes his
supreme authority, all power is given
unto me-" and on that authority he
commissioned them to their work of
d~iscipling "all nations" Marks rem
dering of this commission (16:15, 16)
is more inclusive, ito the whole crea-
tion,' including all of mans welfare,
social as we'll as spiritual. For Jesus
thus to claim authority and to send
forth his ambassadors and still not be
the very God of the very God" is to
stamp him either as an impostor or a
lunatic. Because all power is his,
therefore the obligation and the ac-
companying Holy Spirit who will en-
able us to teach the things he has COM
manded. There is back of the com
mission "al power and accompany
ing it a blessed fellowship, 10, I am
with you all the days"
The sad thing is that after nearly
two thousand years we have carried
out so poorly the great commission.
And lastly the disciple is not to go
in his own strength or wisdom. His
parallels describe fully the & upon
which the disciples were entering. 40
they went forward and as we follow
in their train" to devote ourselves to
the enterprises of his kingdom, he de-
clared that he would be with them and
!. with us until the time of the corsum
nation of the age.
When we go his way, he goes our
way; but if we go our own we go It
alone"

The courts have passed upon the
question of damages for a sufferer
from typhoid who could trace this
illness to flies feeding upon the filth
of sewage. A'few years ago a man
living in Germantown, Philadelphia,
recovered heavy damages from the
city for his illness. which he proved
was caused by a stream flowing
through his yard which had been pol
luted by sewage from a house ten
anted by a typhoid patient. The de-
Tense relied upon proof that the
plaintiff had neither drunk from nor
bathed in the stream, but an ento-
mologist convinced the jury that
he had contracted the disease
through the medium of flies, which
had carried the infection from the
stream to the food exposed to their
visits in his house.

MARKS RICHNESS OF BUTTER
Yellow Color Shown by Experiments
to Be Affected by the Nature
of the Feed.

The rich, yellow color demanded by
the public in dairy products has been
shown to be due primarily to the ma
ture Of COW feed. This announcement
is made by the department of agricul-
ture as the result of experiments car
ried on in cooperation with the Mis-
souri, state experiment station.
The conclusion is that, although to
some extent a breed characteristic, the
intensity of this yellow color, may,
within certain limits. be increased or
diminished at will by changing the
cows rations.
Chemical tests show that the yell
low color in milk is produced by sew
eral well-known pigments found in
green plants, the principal n being
carotin, which constitutes a large part
of the coloring matter of carrots. The
other yellow pigments in milk are
known as xa%nthophylls. These are
found in a number of plants, including
grass, but are especially abundant IN
yellow autumn leaves.
This explains the fact that fresh.
green grass and carrots Increase the
yellowness of butter. Green grass is
probably richer in carotin than any
other dairy feed and COWS feeding on
it produce. the highest colored outter'

NONE IMMUNE TO DISEASE
It is Now Recognized as a Fallacy
That the Weak Are More Cen
orally It's Victims.

The claim has been advanced that
the infectious diseases have benefited
the race by the destruction Of the un-
cit. This idea / nave combated most
vigorously s.-sce our study OF typhoid
fever in the army, writes Or. Victor
l.. Vaughan N Science, My colleagues
and | found that out of 9,4S1 soldiers
who had previously been on the sick
list report and could not be regarded
as possessing standard health, 648, or
6S per cent. contracted typhoid fever;
whereas. out of 46.34S men who had
no preceding illness. 1877, or 1873
per cent, developed typhoid fever.
More than 90 per cent of the men who
developed typhoid had no preceding
intestinal disorder. Under ordinary
conditions the strong, busy man, es-
pecially the one whose activities de-
mand wide excursions from his home,
is more likely to become infected than
the one whose sphere of action is more
limited on account of infirmity. The
reason for this is too obvious to need
statement, and it follows that more
men than women and more adults
than children have typhoid fever,
Moreover, the mortality is greater
among the strong, C~ontagion, like
war, destroys the very flower OF he
race. The view is sustained by the
historians Of the pestilence of former
times.

sAlM0N's NEED FOR OXYGEN
French Scientist Believes He Has Dis
covered Reason for Peculiarities
OF Valuable Fish.

AT a meeting of the French Acad-
envy OF Science recently an interesting
communication was made on the re
suit OF the observations of Professor
Roule on the migration of salmon to
fresh water.
The observations covered the rivers
entering the sea on the Breton coast,
and it was found that the proportion
of oxygen dissolved in fresh water was
the principal factor determining the
ascent Of the salmon. Like all fish
OF their family, the salmon have an
intense need Of breathing, and this
increases in the reproductive period.
Consequently they only enter rivers
whose waters are able to satisfy this
need by the quantity OF. oxygen held in
solution. It is in the search for this
water that leads them up the rivers,
even where Instructions make it nee
essary to leap in their characteristic
way.
Besides the scientific interest, Pro-
fessor Routes observations, if they
could but be proved, would possess
great practical value, as they would
enable n Immediately to discern
which rivers were worth an attempt
to introduce linen by purifying the
water, providing ladders, etc, and
which we're tie rivers in which such
labors wouIa~be certain to be vain.
