Ancient KEYS.

1t was formerly thought that keys
were a strictly modern invention, but
among the ruins of Thebes have been
found keys with straight shanks five
inches long and bar at right angles
with three teeth, thus proving that the
Egyptians were familiar with the prn-
clples Of lock making. As no locks but
only keys have been found among the
Egyptian ruins 1t is assumed that the
locks were of wood, only the keys be-
ing metal. The earliest mention of a
key to be taken from the lock occurs
In Judges 3 % :25. This was used to
fasten the door of the summer parlor
Of Eglon, king Of Moab. "Ehud went
forth through the porch, and shut the
doors Of the parlor upon him and
locked them, His servants took key
and opened them" The date referred
to here is about 1886 B. G.

Invention Of Doors.

Who invented the door no one
knows. 1t Is, however, an invention Of
comparatively modern times. All the
ancient houses, even the houses con-
talnlng doorways, had no doors. Fab
rlcs or skins Of animals were hung
across the doorways to keep out the
elements. In the great Roman Coli
scum there Is but one door--that Il
the door behind which lay the lions
that ate the gladiators. From this
and other similar uses 1t Is believed
that doors to houses probably first
came into use as q means of defense.

HOME CIRCLE COL YMN.

When a child refuses to go to school
or to work, is disobedient and listless,
there is something wrong. A child
brought up with the right kind oil
books as companions will love his
school and his books.
Children are natural imitators.
They will very soon learn to talk and
act as their companions on the street
do. Or, if their leisure time is mostly
spent with books, their thoughts will
dwell on what they read about. And
as child thinketh SO is he. His sole
aim will soon be to emulate the deeds
and character that are foremost in his
thoughts.
If taken while young child's likes
and dislikes can be educated In almost
any direction; and good reading is a
great help in making good children.
a true story or q narrative of deeds
that human being might have done,
history and tales of travel will linger
in child's mind and inspire him to be
honest, noble and truthful; to honor
and obey his parents and teachers and
to love his school and companions.
With little planning by the mother
home may be made the place to be
preferred above all other places by the
children, especially at night.
Reading aloud and telling the best
they can what has happened ard what
they have seen during the day, should
be encouraged in the children. Teach.
ers will tell you there is a noticeable
difference between scholars who have
books and papers to read at home and
those who have not.

People of intelligence, open minded
to truth, lose much if they habitually
absent themselves from religious ser
vices. Can there be anything more
important than an understanding, as
far as we can grasp it, of the evolution
airy plan and the meaning and purpose
of life, of our existance as human be-
iugs on this planet? 1t is of this that
the finest minds in the church have
made lifelong study and seek IN their
discoUrses to give out such truth con-
corning it as they have found.
1t is said that statement has been
made in pulpit that very many ear
nest people look upon this world war
as an affection visited by God upon the
nations for their sins. Yet this is an
error, the hearers were told. God
brings no evils on mankind. This war
is the wages, the legitimate earnings,
the unacceptable outcome, the inevitable
effect of causes put into operation by
the nations themselves.
That is the rational and satisfactory
view and is supported by and is con
sistent with all that we know of all the
laws of nature, which are of course the
laws of God. They are all Of them
self enforcing, lnfractlon of them being
invariably following by undesirable or
disastrous consequences 1t is error,
however, to regard these as penalties
inflicted. The great law is not pun.
tive, but is only the law Of action and
reaction, Of cause and effect.
