The Pastor holds that the world is even now sweeping into the long g-prom. lsed Messianic Kingdom, whose glo- ries and blessings have been the theme of Old Testament prophecy for many centuries. He declares that for the past forty-two years we have been In the dawning of the New Age of Blessing, which has come so stealthily upon the world that few recognize the import of the changes brought about during that period. The. world has probably created thousand times as much wealth during these forty-two years as during the entire six thou sand years preceding them. Solomon never even dreamed of such bless ings as the very poorest may enjoy today.
 But there is dark side to be consfd- cred also. These wonderful blessings seem only to have increased human tvs discontent and selflshness. As a result the world is now entering into a Time of Trouble unprecedented, which VIII convince mankind of their own lmpotency After the whirlwind of human passion has subsided, however. cnere Will be glorious sunburst of everlasting peace and righteousness.
 It may surprise some to be told that since 1874 the world has seen a greater increase of education, of labor-saving devices, of safeguards and protection TOT human life, etc. than during the preceding sixty centuries. These changes have come in so gradually mat comparatively few have noticed them. Then, man Iabored from sun to sun; now, we are rapidly approaching an eighthour day. Then. nearly all mDor was done with sweat of face; now, It Is nearly all accomplished with machinery. Sewing machines, reapers ana binders, mowers. gas engines. au- 'onopiies, etc, all belong to this period.
 rrophecies respecting streams in the uesert and the wilderness blossoming as the rose are having fulfllment in our day-not miraculously, but in har- mony with the Divine order of an in creased intelligence amongst men

GIVES FIRST AID HINTS.

Try to remember some of the simple reminders to be adminis- tered to those injured by fire.
 1. Do not forget to wrap rug. shawl or blanket around a person whose clothing is burning. This smothers the flame and is much better than the use of water.
 Z. In case of burns, use sweet oil or cotton, common baking soda or flour. Deep burns need the atten- ton Of physician as soon as pos sible.
 3. If person becomes uncon- sclous from inhaline smoke. em- ploy artificial respiration until na- tural breathing returns.
 i. Whatever the emergency. re- member that self-control and a wise use of the means at hand may not only save many dollars, but may save many lives.
 Let all rural homes remove all the causes and doing everything causes and do everything that is possible to prevent the number of fires Chat occur in the fall and early winter.
