Can we o'er reacli the day when we shall feel that our religious lib- erty is not a natural outgrowth of the Christian heroes and heroines who dared to defy "Bloody" Alva, the persecutor of the Netherlands, or Lord Claverhouse, the persecutor of old Scotland, or detnonale Cath- erine, the fiendish female instigator of the St. Bartholomew massacre, or the bloody Queen Mary of the English throne? When that grand old man, Hugh Latimer, then over 1 eighty, stood among the burning logs that were cremating him, he turned to Bishop Indies', his fellow martyr near by, told said, "lie of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the nia.n.

What a lesson do these illustrious benefactors of the human race teach us 1 HOW they study and investi- gate and labor to alleviate suffer- ing and increase the longevity of mankind 1 And when any of them discovers a remedy for disease or a means of removing deformity how eagerly he makes the discovery known that all the world ina.y share in the benefit 1 In our bands we have a revelation of infinitely greater value. That* discoveries. can at the best prolong life only a few years, while the gospel of Jesus Christ is the gospel of eternal life and the remedy for the universal malady of sin. Yet there are among us men calling themselves Christians who make no effort to publish the knowledge of that remedy. They say, "If the ChineSe are not willing to receive our •gospel. missionaries, then let those missionaries stay at home. Let the Chinese hordes grovel and die ! Let the human streams of heathen life become choked with moral vermin 1 It is their own lookout, not ours I" I tell you to- day that Christian.. America's fo- reign obligations an never be can- celed until Jeeus Christ is preached to all people. Where we have now one inissionary in the dark conti- nents we should send a thousand; where we have one gospel messen- ger now for a hundred thousand people we should have so great a number that every foreign town and village, as well as every city, should be persuaded. to receive the open Bible and to study the word of God. • Christian America will not be free from responsibility until the gospel of the Lord Jesug is preacher] unto all peoples. If those peoples receive it not, then they, not we, must bear the responsibility. America is indebted to foreign lands in a commercial and an artis- tic sense as well as in a moral and spiritual sense. Some political speakers love to boast that com- mercially we are indepeodent ot the world. They assert it would make very little difference to us whether or no foreign countries held any trade relations with us at all. But this is not true. You are a wealthy man. You invite xne to your home some night to a banquet. I accept. As I sit waiting for the other guests to arrive I say: "Mr. So-and-so, this is a beautifullydesigned home.

Some years ago, while I was in England, • came across a beautiful country home. I then said to myself that if I should ever have money enough I would build a house upon that plan.

Jatues It. Williamson, alant-e egu road, Lower Edmonton, Len -1 dou, writes to an n11041 paper: It will be of interest to some of your readers to leant that Mr. William Tebb presided at the sixth annual meeting of the London Association for the Prevention of Premature Burial, Dr. Iroolcer read the report. Dr. J. Brindley James said be was always impressing upou his medical colleagues the necessity for subject- ing a body to a number of tests be- fore death was certified. The best proof was putrefaction where death had not occurred. Bodies should be temporarily removed to "waiting mortuaries," as was done in Ger- many. A lady in the meeting de- clared that, an hearing news of the loss of her property, she went into violent hysterics for two hours, and then was thought to be dead. Atter being lett for twenty-four hours, she was taken out of bed, rolled -on the floor, and needles and pins stuck in- to her. lieXt morning one of the servants, on looking at her body on the bed, thought it had moved. The doctor was sent for again, but he certified that she was undoubtedly dead, and so the cofbn was ordered. Three hours afterwards her daughter said: "I doe't think mother, is dead," and Applied some brandy to 'saidthe lady, and added: "That the cold lips. "Then came to," was five years ago. I have rny death certificate at home. Al- though I could not move, I could hear everything. I heard the men take my measurement for the cof- fin." Another lady at the meeting testified that she knew a girl at Kensington who "came to" after be- ing prnommed dead, and who ra- members hearing the doctor say: "Ale poor thing1 now she is out of her suffering." One trembles to think of how many sucb cases re- /nein undiscovered, and the unspeak- able horror of returning to con- sciousness boxed up in a coffin, six feet 'underground, to stiffer a mar- tyrdom of mental and physical ag- ony without the faintest hope of res- cue or escape. The object of the above association is to put an end to such terrible and preventible pos- sibilities. Japan is a land without domestic animals. It is this lack which strikes the stranger so forcibly in looking upon Japanese lancacapes. There are no cows, , there are but few horses, and these are imported mainly for the use of foreigners. The freight carts in the city streets are pulled and pushed by coolies, and the pleasure caeriages are drewn by men. There are.but few dogs, there are no sheep, and wool is not used in clothing, silk and cotton being the staples. There are no pigs —pork is an unknown article of diet —there are no goats, or mules, or donke;c-s.

Do not allow children to eat fruit skins. They are frequently filled with microbes which find in the stomach conditions, favorable to their development. The downy bloom of the peach is especially li- able to contain these microbes. All fruit should be washed before going to the table. Grapes may be easily cleansed by holding each -bunch up- side down under the celd water fau- cet.

In the daily life, while seeking to live wbolly for God and manifest the life of Christ in our mortal bodies, we ere living not on- ly before God, who reads our hearts alaP never misjudges us, but wo are also living before people who, not being able to read the heart, are very apt to raisiedge us and stumble clreeeetian. V1,11.--Cbristian love (1 Cor. dIi, 1-13). Golden Text, 2 Cor. xiii, 13, "Now abicleth faith, hope, love, * * * but the greatest of these is love." It is still the con- trast between what 1 myself may do and that which Christ will do in me. Ilowever much X may do that seems good, it will count for noth- ing it it is 1 that do it, but God, who is love and was manifest in Christ and has emne to live in the believer, desires to work In and through us, and that will stand. Lesson Lae—Paul and Apollos (Acts xviii, 24, to xix, 0). Golden Text, Luke, xi, 13, "If ye, then, be- ing evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" A mart mighty in tho Scriptures may be instructed more perfeztly by very bumble people, and however much people may believe there is a very great lack entil they aro filled with the Spirit. Lesson X.—Paul at Ephesus (Acts xix, 13-20). Golden Text, Acts xix, 17, "The nanie of the Lord Jesus was magnified." The name of .the Lord Jews, that worthy name (Jas. ii, 7), that glorious and fearful name, the Lord thy God (Deut. xxviii, 58), is not to be trifled with or mocked or despised, for the Lord can use the devil himself to chasten saah, and He will overrule even the mockery and blasphemy of the wick- ed to promote His glory. Lesson XL—The riot at Eplieeus (Acts xixe 20-40). Golden Text, Ps. xxxi, 23, "The Lord preserveth the faithful." When the preaching of the gospel takes away money from the pockets of the ungodly, we shall quickly hear from them, and they will want no more of us or our gos- pel. But this same thing is often seen among these who bear the name of °lutist, an,d the cold sboul- der has been turned upon a mission- ary lest he might want an offering from the people. We seem to know nothing of the love of Cluest, who EfTlete,s1Diannt(EiiPh, gaLveesSE,onnmsXellit.—Paurs messageaGtrooeldtyehnee 8, "By grace eaved through faith." That is the one thing we fail to u-aderstand --- the grace of our Lord Jegue Christ, who became poor for us (II Colt viii, 9), and therefore, while glad to be saved by- Him, so few are willing to be used by Him, to let Him have He has prepared fetv us.
