THE NEW YEAR AND THE OLD.

YET us hail the New Year with racket
of joy,
With handshakes. confetti and
horns,
And greeting of gladness to stran-
gers and friends,
While a smile every feature adorns.
Let us frolic and rollick in time to the
chimes
That are ringing and swinging on high
And pouring the notes from their silvery
throats
In a musical shower from the sky.
Twas a faithful old year, we will drop II
a tear
AS into the past it departs,
Ere we hurry along with a laugh and a
song
Its successor to clasp to our hearts.
But no matter how good were the things
that IL takes,
Or the pleasures that vanish from view
There are better to come, and so let us
be off
With the old year and on with the new.

Salt In Roumania.

Veritable mountains of salt are to be
seen in some sections of Roumania,
for the salt deposits cover an enor-
nous area and have a thickness vary
ing from 600 even to 800 feet. At
Sarat there is a mountain Of salt, and
steam shovels can be used to load the
waiting cars. In other cases the gal
lery system is employed, and cleo
trically driven machines turn out
blocks a cubic yard in size, like great

A very active man was he.
Who never knew an idle day;
But, coupled with his industry,
Enjoyed an hour of wholesome play.
An active part he took in things
That helped his town, as all men should.
And tried to give uplifting wings
To whatsoe'r was sweet and good.
And active part he took for such
AS need word of generous cheer,
That they themselves might rise and touch
The uplands Of a higher sphere.
Active he was for all that goes
To make a man and people great;
And though his action brought him foes
Nought could his energies abate.
And so he lived and tried and wrought,
And like a hero played his part,
And we'll secured in deed and thought
The sanction of his honest heart.

Jesus the Jewish nation had been re-
jected from Gods favor, and that dire
calamities were coming.
st. Stephens second battle was the
one which preceded his death. The
Sanhedrin, angry with him, suborned
witnesses-bribed men to make COM
plant, charging him with having bias
phemed, with having declared Moses
and the Law obsolete, with declaring
that the Temple was no longer Gods
Temple. These witnesses had put to-
gether certain isolated sayings Of St.
Stephen which, thus patched up, made
the truth appear false, blasphemous.
St. Stephens Defense.
After these paid witnesses had given
their testimony, charging blasphemy-
the penalty for which was stOning-
the Sanhedrin, with show Of fair
ness, permitted st. Stephen to reply.
This he did in a mastery way, by
taking up the thread Of Jewish history,
showing his implicit faith in Gods
promises to Abraham. In orderly man
ner he brought the thought of his
hearers down to the time Of Moses and
the giving of the Law, and reminded
them that Moses had said that in due
time God would raise up a greater
Prophet than he. deuteronomy 1918,
49, This greater Prophet, he allowed
them to infer, was Jesus; and since
Moses had particularly referred to
Jesus thus as greater, it could not be
disloyalty to Moses to accept that
greater Prophet. Thus one feature of
the charge was overthrown.
AS for the Temple, he reminded his
hearers that God first established the
Tabernacle in the wilderness. and latel
had provided the Temple in its stead.
1t was no disrespect to the Tabernacle
for them to believe in Solomon's Tenn
pie. God had now provided that still
higher Temple should take the place of
the building made with hands. The
higher Temple was spiritual, to be
composed of Gods people, who as liv-
ing stones would be builded together
as a habitation of God through the
Spirit. As it was not biasphemy to
accept Solomon's Temple as instead of
Moses Tabernacle, neither should it be
considered blasphemous to accept this
higher, spiritual Temple, of which
Jesus is the Foundation, as instead of
the typical Temple of wood and stone.

In Hebrews 3:5, the distinction is

st. Paul makes this distinction be-
tween the Ancient Worthless and the
Christian Worthless in today's lesson.
After naming many of the prominent
ones Of the past, he declares that they
were pleasing to God. noble. praise
worthy, because of their faith. Then
he calls attention to the fact that they
never received the promises which God
made to them. Prior to Jesus day
God did not promise Heavenly things.
The promises to the Ancient Worthless
were all earthly; as that made to Abra-
ham in Genesis 13:14-17.
st. Stephen calls attention to the fact
that this promise to Abraham is still
unfulflled. He declares that Abraham
never received enough of that land
promised him to set his foot upon. On
this promise he predicates the resur-
rection of Abraham. that in Gods due
time he may inherit the land and that
his faithful posterity will inherit it
after him.-Acts rs.
