It is often the case that only in affliction will a soul turn to the Lord, even as it is written in Hos. v, 15, "In their affliction they will seek Mo early," It will be 90011 On a larger scale some day, for it is written in Isa. xxvi, 9, "Mon Tby judgments aro In the earth, the inhab- itants of the world will learn righteous- ness." Even the fearful judgments of Rey. ix and xvi are intended, if possible, to bring men to repentance. See Rev. Ix, 20, 21; xvi, 9, 11. Pride and self will are born in US as the results of Adam's sin, the work of the devil, and all people ere either Caine or Abels, the fanner proudly resisting God and His salvation, and the latter humbly confessing their sins and accepting His way of redemption. The Pharisees when our Lord was on earth were of the line of Cain, religious, but proud and hating God and Ills wee,. e3. "And prayed unto Him, and He was entreated of him and beard bis sup- plication and brought him again to Jeru- salem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord He was God." Ma- nasseh was evidently a true penitent, and God's ear is ever open to such. It is al- ways true for such on God's part, "Him that comoth unto Me I will in no wise cast out" (John vi, 37). It is written in I Chron. v, 20 concerning some of Israel that they cried to God In the battle and He was entreated of them, because they put their trust in Him. Ezra says in chapter vile, 23, "So we fasted and be- sought our God for this, anti He was en- treated of us." As to the mercy which is with God for the greatest sinner who with true penitence turns to Him we need.ouly consider the case of the penitent thit f. or of Saul of Tarsus. But who could begreat- sr in sin than this son of Hezekialit 14. "Now after this he built a wall with- out the city of David." The building of this wall and the placing of captains of war in the fenced cities does not imply any lack of trust in God, but Is rather sugges- tive of keeping the Lord's property for the Lord. In Canticles iv, 12, the bride is corn - pared to a garden inclosed, a spring shut up, a fountain sealed; something kept solely for the owner, In Isa. lx, 18, the walls of Zion are called salvation and her gates praise. In Zech. ii, 5, the Lord says He will be unto her a wall of fire round about. Valls and protections of any kind are naught unless they are of God. 15. "And be ,took away the strange gods and the idol out of the house of the Lord." As the children of God we are ex- pected to put away from us all the works af the flesh and to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit (Eph. iv, 22, 31; II (Jor. vie 1). Haying received the Lord Jesus, we are looked upon no baying died with Illm arid risen front the dead to waikin newness of life; dead unto sin'but alive unto God, yielded unto Eim as His property for His use exclusively (Born. vi, 4, 11, 18). 16. "And he repaired the altar of the Lord *** and oonnnanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel. ,Peace and thank - offerings are associated in the law (Lev. vii, 11, 12) and are in connootion with the burnt offering, sin offering and other offer- ings (Lev. vie 37). All offerings pointed baok to Gen. in, 21, and on to Calvary, kr nothing can take away sin or make peace vvith God but the precious blood of the Lord Jesus, the anlitype of all types. the substance of every shadow. He serval God as no one else ever did, and we sures truly only as He lives and works in us.

Grandfather of the House. Rev. W. H. Milburn, the blind chap- lain of the 'United States Senate, has known personally more presidents than any other man. He was elected chaplain of the House of Representetives in 18461 served two tonne and left Washington in 1855. He says: "John Sherman of Ohio and Senator Morrill of Vermont entered She House of Representatives the follow- ing December. They are called the fathers of Congress, but as I served ten years before they entered I must be the grand- father. I was again elected cheplain in 1885, and have held the position ever since." Preserved in a Well. In cleaning a well near Washington Courthouse, 0., a well digger noticed a peculiar -looking ogg•shaped stone in the gravel. It did nut appear to be as beavy as solid stone, anti he hit it with his shovel. To his surprise he cut into a roll of nice yellow butter. It appears that years ago a roll of nutter had been let down into the vrell to keep cool, but had fallen into the water, where it remained until discovered by the well cleaner. A. crust of sand and gravel had formed about the butter, which was sweet and palatable. A Cheque Story. There Is a gotta cheque story In the Westminster Budget.
