1913. Man is "slow at heart" and
that one at all familiar with Hebrew
history should repeat the mistake
Aaron made Is scarcely to be under
stood (EX. 80 :4-S). The errors and
'isms' of today are but a repetition
of the false teachings of former days
dressed in new garb, labeled with a
new name; such is the deceitfulness of
the human heart (Jer 80. Jero-
boam's excuse was plausible enough
(y. 2S) and appealed to the ever
present weakness of the human heart
to seek some easier way of serving
God. But mans way always be-

day would be classed as ''liberal'
and held up as 'broad- minded man."

not that Of the people but the per-
manency of his kingdom. Jeroboam
was not Introducing a new God, but
a new way Of worship. One step al
ways leads to another, and to fully
establish this new way, and at the
same time entirely control the situa-
ton, he selected from among "all the
people" priests who were to carry on
Jehovah's worship. God had select
ed the sons of Levi and specially Or
dained them for this service (Num.
3-10). When the devil introduces a
new religion, or any false idea Of
Christ, or the Bible, he always ap-

those who would be beholden to him
self, but he also selected positions to
his kingdom, at either end, each of
which was easily accessible. Thus to
build and thus to select others than
the sons of Aaron as priests was eX-
pressly forbidden. But such is the
natural perversfty and stubbornness
of the human heart that it readily fol-
lows it's leaders into all sorts of apos-
tasy and error (Rom. SD. Jero-

Petersburg is the River Neva. Upon
its banks the most magnificent pal
aces are erected The numerous
islands are parks or pleasure grounds
of the people and are filled with re-
sorts that are thronged during both
the winter and summer months.
There is only one permanent bridge,
the remainder being so constructed
that they can be removed when the
stream freezes over, as it usually
does in November, when the teams
and pedestrians pass over the ice un-
til April. The Jockey club holds it's
race meetings on the ice.
But when the spring thaw comes or
when a strong northwesterly wind
blows the water in from the sea sew
erol days in succession. there is great
danger of food, for the city is not
more than four feet above the mean
level of the river When flood is

moved by dynamite and the army is
ordered out with axes. There is no
way to prevent the floods that come

BLESSING THE WATERS
AS Safeguard Against FIoods-In
Memory of Christ's Baptism.

Memory OF ChrISt'S Baptism.
Midwinter in St. Petersburg each
year sees unique and solemn cere-
mony, called the blessing of the
waters" A chapel of ice, richly dec
GRATED with ornaments from the pal
aces and churches and dedicated to
st. John the Baptist, is erected on the
frozen surface of the River Neva. The
river is then called the Jordan and re-
ligious services are conducted in the
temple by the metropolitan or high
priest of the national church, attend
ed by the emperor and all his court.
The ceremony is in memory of the
baptism of Christ, and is supposed to
be a safeguard against dangers from
floods, as well as to benefit those who
make their living on the sea.
A hole is cut in the ice in the center
of the floor of the chapel. From this
the people are baptized by sprinkling
by the priests, and the faithful mem
bers of the Greek church go in vast
crowds to get their share, while re-
ligious devotees often plunge into the
ice,cold flood through the hole. If
they catch cold and die, as they often
do, heaven is secured for them. On
the evening before the ceremony de-
vout churchmen make crosses on
their thresholds to prevent the evil
spirits that are driven from the water
from taking refuge in their houses.
