thought. Charity means at present a
dispoeition to overloolt 'Mune and put

Greek word, which stands for lovo in
the higher senses. Paul le spealtieg

which make a clanging noise when
struck together. "The highest elo-

an empty sound without the love of
God in the heart." Thus love is far
superior to all mere eloquence,

one may endure oven death itself for
a principle and be destitute of divine
love shed abroad in the heart by the
Holy Ghost. In this Terse sacrifice
and love are compared, and recrifice
without love ayails nothing. In these
three Tema, then, love is declared to
be superior to four excellent gifts,
namely, eloquence, prophecy, faith and
sacrifice.

Love does not think solely or primar-

greedy and grasping are strangers to
love. is not easily provoked -"Is not
provoked"-R.V. The word easily is
not in the original. The heart that is
cleansed from sin and filled with
love is not stirred to anger, is not pro-
voked, Professor Drummond, in speak..
ing of ill temper, says: "No form of
vice is more base; not worldliness, not
greed of gold, not drunkenness itself,
does more to unchristianize society
than ill -temper .... There is really ho
place In heaven for a disposition like
this." thinketh no evil -Love does not
surmise evil, or put an uncharitable
construction upon the actions of oth-
ers. It does not keep in memory the
evil acts that have been done to us by
othei-s.
6. rejoiceth not in iniquity -Love
does not approm of wrong -doing even

PRACTICAL SURVEY.
Topic. -The pre-eminence of love.
I, Relating to service.
II. Relating to character.
III. Relating to maturity.
I. Relating to service.- This chapter
stands alcne in the writings of Paul,
bath in its subject and style, It is the
climax of he Gpistle. This single chap-
ter containe the Whole of true religion
in its teaching. It touches the heart of
God, the fountain of all virtue and
blessedness. Much disputing in the
Corinthian church concerning gifts,
natural and spiritual, made Paul es-
pecially sensible of the supreme necee-
sity of charity. He possessed super-
natural gifts and fervent charity, and
was therefore competent to compare
the two, It was as though wearied
with discussion against the sins of the
church, Paul had at last found the re-
medy by which they could be over-
come. The Corinthians were partisans,
pulling down one and putting up an-
other. They were censorious and de-
preciative toward tho,ee with whom
they were disinclined to affiliate. They
were peculiarly proud of the gift of
tongues, Their love was not so con-
spicuous. Their gifts were accompan-
ied with glaring inconeistencies. Paul
set the supreme excellence of love in
contrast with the worthlessness of
other gifts unaccompanied by its pre-
sence. The evil tendencies of the
church met their true correction in
this gift without which Christian so-
elety could not exist. That holy love
derived its very essence from Christ
and must possess all who turned to
Hint for redemption. Love was shown
to be far more serviceable to the
church and to the world than the gift
of tongues or prophecy or knowledge
or faith or benevolence or heroiem.
Paul could hardly have used strongee
language to show the superiority of
love over that of zeal or fidelity or
devotion, He held that love was the
special and permanent characteristic
of the Christian religion.
II, Relating to cheracter. Paul re-
garded faith, hope and charity as
graces belonging to character and not
merely to conduct. He esteemed
character of greater importance than
ability. He regarded faith and hope
as expressions of love. In his vivid
analysis of the divine principle of
love Pau' looked upon it as embodied
in character, being in its essence the
love of God in the soul. Charity cul-
tivates that strain of nobleness in
character which prefers to think well
of others and to give credit, than to
question and disbelieve. It compre-
hends all virtue, honor, goodness, pur-
ity, sincerity, magnanimity and what-
ever else can adorn human character.
"Love is the brightest star in the
Christian firmament and the fairest
flower in the garden of God." Love is
a grace perfectly consonant with
largest mental endowments, loftiest
aims, noblest endeavors and unwear-
ied perseveranee in well -doing. Paul's
description of the behavior of love
was drawn in contrast to the un-
seemly and unbrotherly conduct of
the Corinthians. His words condem-
ned the foolish display of self-import-
ance. Every word he tells with
double force because aimed at a real
enemy. Paul declared that nothing-
ness of life without the ruling power
of love.
III. Relating to maturity. Pau' was
not the man to disparage faith which
holds 60 high a place in his writings,
nor hone which was so eroraineht
feature in his character. The higher
he held these virtues, loftier wee the
position to which he raised the grace
of love, when he pronounced it the
greatest and most enduring of all vir-
tues. The great teacher saw most
sublime truths in j. glowing light. It
is pleesant to note that Paul, whose
mind was eager for knoWledge, and
whose life was 60 largely devoted to
communicating it, should tonternplate
It as it now is and sucb sis it is to be
hereafter. Amid his array of great
gifts, Prophetic insight, miraculous
wotking, philanthropY and martyr -
don -i he placed love as the greatest
poSeesslon. He asserted that Mee as
a sustaining, resisting, aggreeslye
Deem will never fail. He enepha-
'dud the truth that love will never
fail as an element of metal power, es
a principle of soelat unity or a source
of spiritual happiness. He assured
thoee that prized giftthat must pase

Petrograd, July 28. -The Russians
have occupied the important railroad
junction of rody, 58 miles northeast
of Lemberg, in Galicia, They have
also by another drive 60 miles away
broken through the entire first line of
the Teutonic allies west of Lutsk and
driven the Austro -German forces
Petrograd correspondents attribute
the suceees over the Austro -Ger-
mans almost entirely to the over-
whelming superiority of the Russian
artillery and Russia's apparently end-
less suppliee of ammunition.
AUSTRIA ADMITS DEFEAT.
London Cable.—Brody, the largest
Galician city nortionet ot Lentoerg,
and one of the chief objectives of the
Russian drive which aims at it new
invasion of the crown land and the
capture of its capital, fell into the
hands of tho Russians this morning.
The fall of the city was announced
by the Petrograd War Office to -night
in a brief eentence supplementary to
Um regular official night report, whicli
told of the pursuit of the Austro -Hun-
garians "In the direction of Brody."
trom the line of the River Slonevka
and Boldurovka, Southern Volhynia„
according to the official communica-
tion issued to -night by the War Office,
Heaey casualties were inflicted on the
Austro -Germans; over 9,000 men were
made prisoner and a large number of
guns were captured.
Brody is a great railway junction,
and it had been expected the Aus-
trians would retain it at all cost. The
swiftness of the new Russian stroke
was unexpected. The occupation of
the town may have the effect of caus-
ing the entire Austrian lino south-
ward toward Tarnopol and Buczacz,
which has been held tenaciously in
face of Russian attacks, to fall back.
The fall of Brody Is a serious threat
to Lemberg, and the rapid and suc-
cessful advance of Gen. Sakharoff's
forces menace the whole Austro -Ger-
man line of communication from the
north to theesouth. For the present
'<eve' yields in importance to Lem-
berg. The position of this portion of
the Russian front seems to be that
General Kaledines. having driven Gen.
von Linsingenhe left wing t behind the
Stolehod. River, has emended his ad-
vance towards !Coven and is bolding
up the great Teutonie force e there
while Gen. Sekharoff is pressing on
toward Lemberg, which is defended by
the forces of Gen, Boehm-Trmolll.
Evidently with a view of preparing
the public for the loss of this import-
ant city, the Vienna War Office, in its
night etatement, after admitting that
the Russians last night penetrated the
Irsznioff-Brody road, added: "We are
still fighting on the southern edge of
Brody."
Brody lies three and three-quarter
miles from the Galician frontier. The
city had been in Austrian hands since
Sept. 1, 1915, when it was captured in
Field Marshal von Mackeneon's great
drive, which carried his troops more
than thirty miles westward beyond
Brody.
nimultaneously with the success itt
Brody, the Russian army operating
further north, to the west of the
Vellninia fortress of Lutsk, broke
through the whole first line of the
Teutons, driving the defenders into
a precipitated flight aid taking 5,060
prisoners, including e0 officers, among
who are two generals and two regi-
mental commanders, according to the
Petrograd statement.
The defence of the Leseinoff-
13rody road became practically un-
tenable a week ago when the Rus-
sians, atter forcing the Styr -Deo,
confluence, advanced enmasse, beyond
tee town of Beresteczle where the
Austro -Hungarians were forced to
yield to the Muscovite preesure and
fell back upon tho road to Brody.
A comparatively small Russian army
has been standing virtually at the
gates of Brody after the fall of Radi-
sivloff, five miles to the northwest of
the Galician city, more than it month
ago, and has been marking time hold-
ing its line against all Austrian
counter-attacks. •
The moment the Russians had ad-
vanced as far as Beresteczk, they were
only two and one-half nailes from the
Galician frontier and 18 miles from
Brody, this northeastern army could
co•operate with the forces pouring
Into the crown land north. of Brody,
and beat the defenders of the Leznioff•
Brody road, who were menaced by an
enveloping movement, from which
there was but one escape, =melte
withdrawal to the eouthwest.
The fate of Brody's garrision Is not
known. It is believed that the Aus-
trians had sufficient time to with-
draw the bulk of the city's defenders.
The Russian statement issued before
the capture was known says explo-
sions were heard at Brody, fires were
observed and goods trains were seen
moving.
The Russians are now in a position*
to advance against Lemberg from two
direeelons, and along two railway,
the Dubno-Brody-Lemberg sector,
from the northeast, and the Sto-
janew-Lemberg rail, from the north.

"How is it that ye do not understand?
How long shall I bear with you?"
Jesus came to reveal the Father, to
begin a new kingdom, and the most
effectual proof He had to offer was to
go away in bodily form and come
again without observation; here is
the mystery, and dignity, and separate-
ness of the kingdom. The paeswords,
signs and calls are ever locked up
within the precincts of the covenant
and the revealing is not left to the
weakness of the human will, but by
it law which cannot be abrogated. "No

RECAPTURE OF
DELVILLE WOOD
Most Terrific Concentration
of Shells Yet Made.
Britis)a "New Army" Made
Grand Showing.
(Ey Frederick Palmer.)
With the British Army in the Field,
Cable.—The British went after Del-
ville Wood again to -day, and took it.
The Germans had been quiet be-
cause the British made no infantry
attack, but all the wnile the machine
guns had been rattling and the anti'.
lery had kept up a thunderous drum
beat in what before this offensive
would have been referred to as it vio-
lent artillery duel. So commonplace
has the continual bombardment be-
come that ono officer, whose post of
duty is with the transport just out of
the range of the shelle, complains that
he is awakened when there is a lull
at night.
This morning the British put on
Delville Wood the heaviest concentra-
tion of shell fire in a given area ever
directed against field fortifications.
Even the gunners were amazed when
theycomputedits volume per minute
In pieparing the way for the infantry.
Counting the front a thousand yarns.
there must have been three shells a
minute on every yard.
The purpoee was to leave nothing
standing -nothing living. Not a
single Gerintua machine gun but was
to be put out of business by the tor-
nado of blasts. Deltille Wood
has left Trones ;Wood with a tame
reputation, The infantry of both
sides there have no dugouts. Their.
only protection is shallow trenches,
such as are dug in open field opera-
tions. A shell which tears a hole
among the roots of a tree, killing a
man, makes some protection for hls
neighbor who surveys the scene,
Snipers and machine guns watch
for any head that shows itself. Pa-
trols which go out in the night en-
gage in hand-to-hand encounters. The
flash of a burning shell may reveal
one patrol to another and give It the
advantage. The British had nearly
all the Delville Wood after the ad-
vance of July 14, but the Germans
got fi:11 enfilade machine -gun and
shell fire on them, and took possession
of the middle of the wood and of the
British dead, who had fought to tbe
last man. But the British kept the
southern end of the wood and the ad-
joining village of Longueval against
repeated attacks, raking the Germans
with machine guns and shellfire.
When the infantry advanced this
morning they did not expect to re-
cover all the wood, but before the
charge teed finished they had taken
all except about an acre of the north-
ern end.
The troops engaged around Longae-
val and Delville Wood, where the
fighting exceeds in ferocity for the
possession of the valuable ground
anything yet seen in the oftensive,
have been both hardened regulars
and new army battalions. The new
army men, fresh from the English
drill grounds, when put into this
"hell's crucible," have shown the
same racial stubbornness as the re-
gulars. e
"No shell fire could be worse than
the way the teachers had pictured it
to us," said one of the new army mon.
"We were expecting it all -machine
guns, bombs, snipers, big shells and
little shells -and so we were not sur-
prised."
The comraander of one famous
division told the men if they were
good boys and fought well when they
attacked July 14 they would not be
put permanently on the reserve, but
would have another chance in the ot•
fensive. They had a week ot this un-
interrupted orgy, and when they catne
out to rest their commander inform-
ed them they had made good and
could go back. The dust-eaked
veterans cheered this announcement.
"How anybody comes out of Del-
ville alive is a miracle," eald an offi-
cer who had been in the thick of the
struggle, "But I know men who were
bowled over five times by Ethel's,
knocked down by branches of feting
trees, whose scalps -were cut with
nia-
oliinc-gun bullets, and yet came out."
This rnoreing the British found
there a hundred Germans, Mostly
with sortie kind of a wound, who- had
survived the fearful bombardment,
which had left them stunned and hug-
ging the bottom of shell -holes or the
remains of their trenches.
