saw it, the very material out of which
worlds made themselves. Nebula of sim-
ple gas. They laughed in triumph be-
cause they had fouad tbe factory where
the worlds were manufactured, and there
was no God anywbere around the factory.
But in an unlucky hour for infidel evo-
lutionists the spectroscopes of Fraunhofer
and lairchoff were invented, by which
they saw into that nebula and found it
was not a simple gas, but was a com-
pound, and hence had to be supplied from
some other martin and that implied a
God, and away went their theory, shat-
tered into everlasting demolition.

Evoiatiess Downward.
I tell you, any friends, that natural
evolution Is not upward, but it is alsvavs
downward. Hear Christ', account of it.
Fifteenth Matthew and nineteenth verse,
4'Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,
murders, adulteries, fornioations. thefts,
false witness, blasphemies." That is
what Christ said of evolution. Give na-
tural evolution full swing in our world
and it will evolve into two hemispheres
of crime, two hemispheres of peniten-
tiary, two hemispheres of lazaretto, two
hemispheres of 'brothel. New York
Tombs, MoyamensIng prison, Philadel-
phia Seven Dials, London and Cowgate,
Edinburgh, only festering carbuncles on
the face and neck of natural evolution.
See what the Bible says about the heart
and then what evolution says about the
heart. Evolution says, "Better and bet-
ter and better gets the heart by taatural
linprovement." The Bible says: "The
heart is deceitful above all things and
desperately wicked. Who 'can know it?"
When you can evolve fragrance from
malodor, and can evolve an oratorio front
•a buzzsaw, and oan evolve fall pippins
from a basket of decayed crab apples,
then you oan by natural evolution from
the human beart develop goodnees. Ah,
ray friends, natural evolution in always
downward; it is never upward.
What is renuirkable aboutnhis thing is
It le all the time developing its honesty.
In our day it is asoribing this evolution
to Herbert Spencer and Charles Darwin.
It is a dishonesty. Evolution was known
and advocated hundreds of years before
these gentlemen began to be evolved.

Pepper in Olden Times.
Dr. Adolph Miller of Philadelphia,
president of tbe Pennsylvania Mycologi-
cal Club, in a dissertation an the pepper
plant, says that during the middle ages
in Europe pepper was the most eateemea
and important of all the spices. Genoa,
Venice and other conamential cities of
central Europe were indebted to their
traffic in pepper for a large part of their
wealth. Its importance as a Ineans of
promoting commercial activity and oivilis
zation during the middle ages mn hardly
be overrated. Tribute was levied in pep-
per, and donations were made in this
spice, which was frequently also used as
a medium of exchange in place of money.
When the imperial city of Rome was be-
sieged by Alario, the king of the Goths,
In 408 A.D., the ransom demanded in-
cluded 6,000 pounds of gold, 30,000
pounds of silver and 8,000 pounds of pep-
per, illustrating the importance of this
spice at that time.
Revenging Himself on Deity.
Basil Hayden of Bloomfield. Ky., who
was a Confederate soldier in the late
war, bas not been outside of his house
since 1863, though in perfect health,
having taken an oath tben that he would
never again put his foot on the ground.
He says that the Lord treated him
harshly in allowing his nogroes to go
free, and that in revenge he will never
place his foot on tbe Lord's earth again,
He is a successful farmer, notwith-
stand! g his many peculiarities. ate has
kept his vow and lived the lire of a her ,
mit since the war.
Croat sins.
The great danger in the Christian life
is the supposition that only great sins
affect the life. On the contrary, it is rare
that tho evil comes in like a flood. There
is in the embankment the little crack
through 'which the water trickles aineeit
unobserved, and in such small quantity
that it is not regarded 'as worthy of effort
to restrain. But eacli minute it works its
deadly work, removing partiole after par
tiole, until, under the stress of the sterna,
it opens the way for the giving away of
the embankment, and in a moment the

"It is vain to wrestle with tbat man.

Bxeuse for Sin.
How few frankly and honestly confess
their own sin! They see not their guilt.
They are apntinually making excuses for
their crimes; the strength and subtlety of
the tempter, the natural weakness of
their own minds, the unfavorable circum-
stances in which they were placed are all
plead as excuses for their sins, and thus
the possibility of repentance is preoluded,
for pntil a man take his sin to himself,
till he acknowledges that he alone is
guilty, he cannot be humbled, and conse-
quently cannot be saved. Till thou accuse
thyself, and thyself only, and feel that
thou alone are responsible for all thy in-
iquities, there is no hope of thy salvation.

How to Make Savory Butter.
Pound to a paste four ounces ot rich
cheese with a small piece of butter (this
varies with the dryness of the cheese,) a
couple of spoonfuls of vinegar from
pickled walnuts, a good dash of cayenne,
a dessertspooeful of essence of anchovy
and the same of mustard. This mixture,
byithe bye, if heated over the fire makes
delicious, savory toast.

Corrected.
A chance visitor in a rural nenthbor-
hood stspped into a little and antiquated
"oboe' house to see what the edueational
methods of the locality were like. A
eleepy looking teacher was hearing a.
class in history recite.
"What can you say about the battle or
Bunker Hill?" he asked.
After seemingly painful reflection a
boy of about le got up and drawled out
hesitatingly:
"It was a great fight, and -and -it
was here that Gen. Grant mod, cares,.
I saw, I conquered.' "
"That shows bow math yen knows
about it," said the teacher derisively. "It
was Washington who said that. Grants
hadn't even been born then. You can
stay after school and learn your lesson,
sir."

There oan be no real unbelief, for wbo-
ever believes in the steadfastness and
reliability of the laws of nature, whoever
believes in the supremacy of right over
wrong'whoever even plants a tree er
trusts to the future, thus bears witness to
his own faith in God, whose name, per-
haps, he may find himself denying, and
his faith only needs expansion and to be
conscious of itself in order to be the sup-
port of a consciously religious life.
Rey-Xote of Rai.mony.
If you should wish to be miserable, yen
must think about yoursolf---about what
you want, what you like, what respect
eeople ought to pay to you, and thou to
you nothing will be pure. You will spoil
everything you touch; you will make sin
and misery for yourself out of everything
vvhieh God sends you; you will be as
wretched as you choose.
The Outflow of the Heart.
To love others is the true counterpoise
of our unsteady natures. Towering and
infirm self-love is likely to collapse at
any moment. The outflow of the heart
upon others is in the orderine of God,
the most infallible way of securing sanity
of mind, as far as right human relations
oan secure it.
The Secret of Success.
The secret of success is concentration;
wherever there has been a great life, or a
great work, that has gone before. Taste
everything a little, book at everythieg a
little, but live for ODD thing. Anything
is possible to a man who knows his end
and moves straight for it, and for IS
