Tho Millennium.

Millennium is term applied in the
ology to the thousand years durinf
which Satan will be bound and the
martyred saints live and reign witt
Christ-tevelations 2O:2-3. This Ions
triumph is to be preceded by the
decisive victory of Christ over the nd
versary, and followed by a general res
surrection and the temporary release
of Satan; then come the last judgmen,
and the new heaven and new earth
Revelations 1921. All that is posit.
lively told respecting the millennium
can be read in the Scriptures. To the
passages indicated various interpret \.
tions have been given. ana upon the
literal Interpretation varitrs theories
have been built.
Attempts to fix the date of the ad
vent, the second coming, the dawn OF
the millennium, have beer proved By
lapse of time to have bean failures
Some Of the dates that hava been fixed
for the beginning Of the :nillennium
have been 1855. by man I,amed Still.
Ing; 1885, by Bengel; 184a by Miller:
1866, 1857 and 1868. by Doctor Cum.

ANIMAL HABITS NOT CHANGED
Sheep Run to the Hills, Hogs erunt a.
q Signal, Dogs Fashion
Their Own Bed.

Sheep, when frightened, always run
o an elevation, because their ances-
tors originally came from the noun
tains. They always follow leader,
because in the danl lerous L., atain
passes their ancestors lad to gv in
single file. Hogs grunt because t,,e!.
feeding grounds were thick wou1.s,
where they could not see one another,
and sound was necessary to keep them
together.
Dogs have way Of turning around
several times before they lie down.
This looks very foolish now. but when
they were wild things centuries ago,
they slept in the tnll grass and turned
around several times to hollow out a
bed, and they have never outgrown
this habit, but to this late day they
will turn around on rug Just as IL
they were In the tall grass.
Cats have, perhaps. tho most traces
of old ancestral habits. Many times
they do have trace of the lion or
tiger very near the surface. Their un.
certain temper, their purring and grow.
ling. their sudden bounds, their ten.
dency to scratch. all come from the
forest and the jungle.--Indianapolia

NONE NEEDED HIS PRAYERS
After Tainted Money Warning coIored

made short address before the box

"Deacon Smith. please pass de box
an Ah'1l watch de signs an see dere's
anyone in dis congregation dat needs

The effect of this brief discourse
was instantaneous and remarkable.
Throughout the congregation loud
whispers of Lien me a qua'tah," "Let
me hab half dollar" ''Gib me a
nickel It'll mawnin'," were heard. Ap-
parently everyone put something in
the box.
The Rev. Sam Small Smith surveyed
the coins with satisfied smile as he
remarked:
"Ah done tole Squire Jones dat none

On Finding Fault.

It is much easier to pick fault with
others than to he correct yourself. 1t
is better to be forbearing. No one
likes others to be exacting Of him
about every little mistake or folly. Be
not so to others. Be ready to overlook
small things. to make allowances. Be-
cause you can do this or that or live
50 or. so. 1t Is not to be- expected that
everyone can do or be the same.
Though you may think your way the
best. someone else may have Just as
good ideas-or better. Who made you
Judge. that you can make laws for all7
Do you want to toe the mark Of an
others making? II not. do not expect
others to come up to your line. Live
your own life the best you can. and,
while you try to help. leave the lives
Of others to their Creator for judg-
ment. A habit Of debating grows on
one. It is better to watch out and stop
yourself before you begin. II it Is part
Of your business to direct others. do 20
In the right spirit, with q respect to
their rights and your own self-respect.
Nagging is belittling to yourself and
does harm. not good. It improves or
reforms no one. A habit Of finding
fault renders one disagreeable. Make
criticisms and suggestions with great
care. Seek what you can commend
and emphasise that.-Hilvaukeo Jour.

An Aviator.s Farewell.

Monsignor de Gibergues, bishop Of
Valence, has lost his seventh nephew
in the war-M. Anthelme dc Gibergues,
amongst whose papers was found the
following moving letter of farewell ad-
dressed to his parents:
"If one day, with wings broken in
the blue heavens, fall to the earth
and return to God, may these lines car.
~ to my father and mother the last
thoughts, desires and dreams Of the
son they loved so tenderly. AS my
body nears the earth, my soul will
soar to unknown heights, and the sep
aration will be victory. 1t will be q
full-hearted Magnificent adoring
prayer Of expiation for what l have
left undOne rather than for what ]
have done. And lastly it will be SUP
plant cry which cannot but be heard
for everlasting life, for strength and
comfort for those I leave behind, and
Tor mercy and glory for beloved
France, the coming of the Kingdom Of
God"
