Sir Walter Scott it Better Novelist Than Scientist, 7 Jan. 28 marked an interesting an- niversary in the history of street lighting, for it was on that date in 1807 that:are:11 Mall was lighted' with gas—the, first -street of any eity so illuminated, The Idea of usirg gas for purposes of illumination Bret oc- curred to Mr. William liffurdeck, it oative of Ayrshire, who worked in the mines of Redruth, Cornwell. He made his first experiments in 1792, at Redruth. Removing in 1798 to the machine making works of Messrs. Watt and Boulton at Bir- mingham, there folloived up his experiments, and succeeded in light- ing up the building with gas for the celebration of the Peace of .Amions. 7,1ni merit of brifigiug gas light in- to use in London belongs to a Ger- man named Willson who somewhat retarded the success of his schemes by the extravagance of his pamphlets Sir Walter. Scott wrote from Lan- doll that there was a machnate pro- poeing to light London with—what do you think ?—wley, with smoke. Even the liberal mind of Sir Hum- phrey Davy failed to take in the idea. that gas was applicable to pur- poses of street or house lighting. Yet, Winser haviag succeeded after all in obtaining some supporters, "the ion line betWeen.

' Gas lighting had it ricliculoos ob- jection to coetend with, worthy to be ranked with that, which insisted for years, without expaOment, that the wheels a steam locomotives creating any forward movement. it was generally assumed that the pipes conveying gas would be hot and apt to produce conflagrations.

' 1 " ti Behaving oneself aright in churcli implies rot only due respect to the four walls of the edifice or to tho habitation of the divine presence, but also due respect to God's ministers who preach itt the sacred pulpit and due respect to God's musidans who sing itt the church choirs. When the members of a church choir ariso to sing the praises 01 God they become part of that mighty host who in every Christian land on earth and in the heavenly mansions are occupied with the scone theme. When the rain - niter rises to preach he conies as messenger from God to utter the words that, the Misr Spirit has com- missioned hibe to speak. The truly consecrated Christian minister is a. repreSentative of the Most High and is entitled to the deference that Was pcdd tei the representatives of the European kings when they entered the United States senate and were given the foremost, fleets.

But, though Christian etiquette in the house of God should mean much, how many chorales are sinfully try- ing to become the churches of class instead of the churches of a greet Christian democracy? Call we not, ono and all, he large hearted enough to know that there is only one true gospel aristocracy, and that belongs to the noble serNing class which Jesus described when he said; "Who- soever will be chief among you, let hinli be your servant'?" As you would never be rude to my child be- cause you love me, so may eve in our church etiquette never east a. slur upon Cad's children. May we never jostle or push any one away from us 1 We sh.ould all belong tri the gospel clan, We should feel that. we are ali brothers a.nd sisters in Christ and that, therefore by the gospel fireside there shall be plenty of room for all the members ofthe gospel faittily Lastly, refined and consecrated Church behavior is demonstrated as much in the way of a congregation disperses as in the way it assemblee.

As the Princese Helena, of _Montenegro she spent whole days and nights in. the hills, and it was only natural, there- fore, on her first visit to her native land after her marriage eo Victor Emmanuel that she should announce her intention of revisiting on foot the momatains about Cetinje. The announcement was received in iorrified silence by her Itatlitm ladies in waiting, to Whom the wild nature of their surroundings -seemed barbar- ous. Then. they gathered themselves together, and with one exception all begged to be excused. Ono ProttY woman, particularly daintyd. anele- gant in her ways, ambitious of the favor of her mistress; determined to brave it out, and smiliegly said she would make the climb. The. next morning at six o'clock the royal party had assembled, and were awaiting the adventurous lady in waiting. She appeared in a silk gown with a long train,—carefully pimped up,' to be sure,—a coquettiph hat of roses, a scarcely perceptible, sunshade in one hand and a smote bottle in the other, and wearing thia kid slippers with high heels. Sbo was well pleased -with herself, and seemed to have come to sone° sort of understanding of what a, mountain parade demanded, for she immediately produced • jeweled opera - glasses, and explaieed that they were to help her exijo3r the scenery-.

I am sure you are not Well, and I really' cann,ot let you undertake so ardu- ous a trip." The queea's hint was accepted, and the lady ill waiting remained at the palace. It was not uotil some time later, when the young queen and the young maid of honor were close friends, that her majesty confessed that she had been greatly amused by the contrast they presented on that occasion. ...

She lingers here and there with her old- fashioeed prejudices and preferences.. She prides herself, it may he, on the fact that every article of herself or her children taken off at night is carefully folded, one piece upon the other, before ehe gets into bed.

As each of the lessons assigned Rif' to -day has, next to our blessed Lord, woman as the central figure, and the topic in ette,h is faith or the no, cessity and power of faith, wo will do well to consider both lessons. In each we see. a wolnan in trouble, the SYrePhenieinn because of her claughe ter's affliction and Harr Magdalene tecause of her own heart's sorrow, hut in each case the Lord Jesus by His word gives rest and joy and peace, reminding us of that g,rea.t word, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and 1 w 111 give, you rest" (Matt, 28). Woman is 0 notable type of the church., the body of Christ, and throughout this age of ,the Bride- groom's absence sorrow is her poa ' tion, but Ho will come again, and she will then be glad forever more (11fark ii, 39, 20;' John xvi, 22, 33; Bev. xix, 7). To the people of Niue- areth Jesus was only the Son of 'Joseph and Mary; in His own kin-, dred He was as one beside himeelf/ to the religious leaders among the Jews He was a Samaritan and had a devil (Luke iv, 22; Mark iii, 21; John " vii, 20; viii, 43), but there were some who had eyes opened to see Him as the Son of David, the Lord of Israel. Ilis own received Him not. The woman of Tyre and Sidon hao • a real trouble and was in great need of a deliverer. She had somelicee heard of the Great Physician, so full of compassion, but probably could not go Him. Now that ho has comes near to her she at once hastem to Him, and, having implicit confi- dence in Hint, she will take no denial frora Him. What a reward fore hei in.

Consider our Lord's commendation of the centurion's faith and that et the four who brought their palsied friend, and contrast 1 -lis rebuke of the disciples for their lack of faith (Matt. viii. 10; xiv, 81; xvi, Si Mark it, 5). Then remember His command, -"Trove faith in God" (Mark xi, 22; John eav,1). Turning for the rest or our meditation to the Easter lesson and keeping the neces. sity of faith as the central thought we note that our risco. Lord up- braided the disciples for their onbe- lief and hardness of heart because they believed not them which had seen Him after He was risen (Marls xvi, 11-11). Right here in our les- sor, it is written that even rater end John as yet know not tee Scripture that He must rise again from th4 dead (John XX, 9), and, tithough had so often said plainly that Ile was to be crucified and that He Would rise again the third day (Nett. xvi, 21.; andi, 28; xx, 19), : they bad not received it. What shall'wo say of the Woman who so loved Him, followed Hire and ministered unto Min when we see them buying spices that they might anoint IIis dead body when the Sabbath was past?
