Aeneas. "who had kept his bed eight
years and was sick of the patsy" and

Peter restored TabItha to life. Here
also he lodged for time with one

from GAIA TO Jaffa are ancient olive

thousand years old, with gnarled bark
and immense trunks. There is an old
Legend which credits GAIA with the in

Be Kind Always.

One great trouble with unkind
thoughts is that ii is so very difficult
TO keep them only thoughts; sooner or
later they find utterance. We may

charitable opinions 10 ourselves, but
they are almost certain to express
themselves IN look or tone, II not In

Use an ingenious Code.

Two persons having copy Of die
tionary of the same edition make up
the message which they send by the
number of the page and the number Of
the words counted down the column Of
the page, for example, the word ''ship"
might be 30-17, thirty being the num-
Der of the page and IL the number Of
the line in which the word "ship" ap-
pears in the book used as cipher.
In the opening of the war, when the
English were treating the captured
German officers as courteous enemies,
one of these devices, it is said, was
made use of for getting information
out Of England, with respect to Eng
fish destroyers, their number and
equipment. An officer pretended to be
interested in the English game Of
golf. He endeavored to learn 1t and
appeared to be exceedingly enthusi-
astic The letters whichshe was per-
mitted to send out to his wife in Dres-
den were filled with details Of the
game, which permitted an abundance
of figures on strokes and distances.
Important information with respect to
the English admiralty was conveyed to
the German staff through the medium
of the apparently harmless letters of
this convert to the English game. The
book used for the cipher was certain
English edition of Shakespeare. OF
which there was a copy in the Dres-
den public library.-Everybody's.

LISTEN, SINNER

Listen, sinner, will you listen, while l
make one more appeal?
Would with tears your eyes might glis-
ten, would to God your heart might
feel;
You will, too, ere long be dying, soon
we'll miss you from the earth,
And your cold form will be lying meath
the green sod and the turf.
But the grave is not the ending, sin will
kill beyond the tomb,
Oh, what awful horrors pending in
those words the sinners doom;
God has traced it with his finger, Jesus
said it should be SO,
He who lives and dies sinner, must en-
dure eternal woe.
You have had the Bible warning, YOU
have had the spirit, too,
Ever since life's early morning it has
strove and plead with you;
Many times the teardrops glistened,
many times your heart did melt,
To the story you have listened, of the
pangs your Savior felt.
But the Bible you have sighted, and
the spirit turned away,
And refused tho oft invited to improve
the gracious day;
Oh, how hard your hearts are getting,
Oh, how sad your state today,
Friends, your star Of hope is setting,
haste to Christ without delay.
