Perhaps the most candid criticism
of a kings speech" was one uttered
by a king himself. There is that story
of George III, who, leaving the lords
after opening parliament, turned to
his lord chancellor with the remark:
Lord chancellor, did l deliver the
speech well?"
Very well indeed, sir" was the re
ply.
81 am glad Of that" said the king
"for there vas nothing in it."
George II, too, did not always feel
himself bound to praise his ministers
efforts. In 1856, for instance, when q
spurious speech was circulated. he
pleaded for mercy for the printers OF
it, because. he said, he had compared
the spurious with the real, and, so fan
as he could understand either, he "in
finitely preferred the former to his
own"

When the West Was WooIIy.
Miss George Woodthorpe went back
to her childhood days for her reminis-
cence, to the time when the West was
really wild and woolly.
Il was very young" she explained,
and was playing what we called juve-
niles them but which are now known
as ingenue roles. l remember l was
on the boat that went up the Snake
river to Dalles, Wash, and on that
boat vas the governor of Oregon. who
was going up to see the great Indian
chief, Homelli, about some treaty or
other, the details of which l forget, K
cepting that it concerned two other
chiefs that were being held prisoners
for their friendship to the whites.
"This Thanksgiving day always
stands out in my memory and I shall
never forget the interest | felt in
seeing this big Indian invited into the
cabin where we had our Thanksgiving
dinner, and sitting down to the table
with his blankets wrapped around him.
| scarcely ate any dinner, but just sat
and watched Chief Homelli enjoy the
turkey and wines that were served.
1T was on this trip that l heard the
first phonograph-and that was long
before the day Of Edison. l remember
my amazement at hearing a voice
come from this little box-a box
scarcely any larger than my makeup
box here. At first we thought there
was a ventriloquist in the room, but
after a while we were convinced that
we were listening to a real talking ma
chine. l don't know who invented this
all | remember about it is that it con-
tanned a little cylinder that turned as
the voice proceeded.
"And that" concluded Miss. Wood

had-my first view of a talking ma
chine, and a dinner with an Indian

The Value Of the Bible.

ences that shed a balm into the spirit.

have impregnated no other book thro
the ages. The comfort, the rest,
the cheer It has impaired to genera
lions of believers have in a manne
been shed back from it's pages SO that
we find in a little text of special i'm
port to all the needy and suffering,
a a that has the effect of a bene-
diction. 1t is known to most Of US
mainly by these pertinent, significant
passages that have a special bearing
on mans dependence on God, and the
help that comes in mysterious ways to
those who earnestly seek for aid.
What lies between the texts is main
ly negligible to the most of US. The
gems we gather; the less precious set
ting, that has no special bearing on
our inward state, we pass by. Words
ftly chosen are these brief, precious
texts, like apples of gold in pictures
of silver. They are deeply inwrought
with our religious life, and have had a
prodigious influence in bringing to
myraids of souls the peace the world
cannot give or take away.-Christian

Finally I spoke to our family physi-
clan about it and he asked if 1 drank
much coffee and mother told him that

drinking coffee and drink Postum in
its place, as he and his family had
used Postum and found it a powerful
rebuilder and delicious food-drink.
Il hesitated for a time, disliking the
idea of having to give up my coffee, but
finally I got a package and found it to
be all the doctor said.
Since drinking Postum in place Of
coffee my dizziness, blindness and
nervousness are all gone, my bowels

The Christian conquest of a city is a
matter of faith, patience and power.
No n expects such a miracle as the
repentance of a city in the manner Of
Nineveh. Furthermore, it would be
interesting to know how permanent
was the revival in Nineveh. Sub
stantial results are not secured in that
quick manner. AS individual charac-
ter is made by steady incubation, SO
city character is made by constant
preaching and noble influence

Looked Into the Heart.

When Christ looked upon men what
did he see? Ordinary men saw sim
ply the sordidness of life and its vi
cious characteristics. Jesus saw
more. AS st. John says: HE knew
what was in man." Everybody could
see the british conduct, everybody
could see the vice and the shame. But
Jesus looked beyond the outward con-
duct to the heart, and in the hearts of
even the Calibans of humanity. He
saw potencies and possibilities of
good.
Jesus saw the possibilities In human
nature where we usually see only COM
mon clay. The ruby is a bit of crys-
tallized earth colored with iron; the
opal is so much silica and water; the
diamond is charcoal; and indeed, such
substances as clay and flint form the
basis of nearly all the precious stones.
To our Lord the human soul was in
fnitely precious, so that even the
wealth of the world was not to be
compared to it in value. There was
but one thing of sufficient value to
buy the soul of man, and that was the
blood of the spotless Son of God. He
died for all men.
Therefore honor yourself. for Christ
honored you, and scorn anything
which may degrade or bring upon you
dishonor. Then, also, you will see
something to reverence and honor in
every man and woman you meet, for
even in the battered and broken
wrecks Of humanity we see children
Of the love of God, our brothers and
sisters for whom Christ died. 1t is not
for you and me to judge as to con
corning whom the Lord of Hosts hath
said: They shall be mine in that
day when 1 make up my Jewels"
