Amid tell this restlessness and dis- eatisiactiOn and iconoelasm of the time, the voices of many eau be heard asking for some place where they can dwell in•peace. They are asking for Oath, simple, indispirta- ble facts lapelkt which they can base their /Ives and build up their char- acters. They watt some facts that are beyond discussion, that are not the products of time or conditions, but are ehanged and eternal, as Gad Himself. To meet this demand for fundamen- tal truths we must go to Jesus of Nazareth. To \shone else shall we ge ? He alone has the words of eternal life. The world is coming to realize that the statement, ;lee made cola:ening the enduring value of His teachiag was not the asser- tion of an egotist, but the utterance of one in. whom dwelt all the fallnese of the Godhead bodily. What then are the basal principles upon which the Lord Jesus founded His society and which 1 -Te has given to us for the upbuilding of a strong and beautiful life? The first great principal which the Master lays down is that love is the supreme law. T -Te declares that the law which shall govern human con- duct is not the law of competition or selfishness or self-seeking, but that the law which must be supreme in life is the law of love. He says :that life can be understood and ap- preciated only as it is interpreted by the law of love. BEFORE CHRIST'S TIME the world had beeu seeking to rule its conduct by some other law than the law of love. It was mainly the law of competition and the survival of the fittest. The strong destroyed the weak; the tribe, the species, which could not defend itself against all cornea's perished; only the strong survived, all the rest were swept aside in the upward march of life. Then in additiori to this struggle for continuance of the tribe or species there came the law of selfishness, when the individual sought for the greatest advantages, regardless of the needs of the other members of the race to which it belonged. Now these two laws are necessary ia some degree for the preservation of the life of the universe, but there is an- other law which is higher and which must be held as supreme at all times and under every circumstance. It is the law of love, and Christ was the drat to give this law as the great law which shoulcl govern life. :lee taught that the world could enter into its true life only as it made love the supreme law. Man must be 'willing to sacrifice himself for his fellow man, and each must learn to bear the others burdens. This law that Christ gave has Changed the face of the earth, our civilization, all our progress in the arts and sciences, all our know- ledge and skill have been the result of the appliCation of this law, THE CROSS Ole CALVARY stands for more than salvation from death; it stands for salvation to a larger lire. That a man must lose his life ir he would gain it has been demonstrated beyond a doubt. The second great principle that Christ lays down for us is that truth is the supreme power. Jesus taught that truth is the one power in the world which cannot be de- feated, In this confidence He cora- mated His Gospel into the hands of a few unknown mea. With no other weapons He sent forth the little band of faithful followers to con- quer the world. He knew that no power could prevail against them be- cause they were armed with the truth. To seek for the truth, to live for the truth, to die, if need be, for the truth—such is the Gospel of Christ. Error, wrong, falsehood are bound to be discovered and destroy- ed, only truth can remain. "There Is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; neither hid that shall not be known." It is the unchangeable law of God that truth shall con- quer. Christianity itself bears wit- ness to this statement. When Jesus stood on trial for Ids life He made answer to his judge, the Roman governor:—"To this end Was I born, and for this cense came I into the world that 1 should bear witness unto the truth." And the people cried, "Crucify Him! Crucify I-Timl" Aad Pilate said, "Let him be cruci- fied." And He Wtla crucified. But the truth He came to give the world was not crucified. It lives and grows and SPREADS AND CONQUERS. The third gTeat, fundamental pain - Mph that we find in the teaching of Christ is that holiness is the su- preme. ideal, Jesus taught that holiness is the highest state to which the soul can aspire. Without holiness no man can see the Lord. The motto which should be fpgraven on the arch of the temple of each life should be the motto that God commanded Moses to have engraved on a plate of pure gold and betted oil the forehead of the High Priest, "Holiness to the Lord." To strive for purity of heart is the ideal that Jesus sets befcee His followers. He promises the greatest reward to those who make holiness their ideal. "Blessed are •Lhe pure in heart, for they shall see -Clo•cle' Here, then, are the three great principles which Christianity gives as the eternal foundations upon which you shall build up your life and character:—Make love the su- preme law; hold truth to be the su- preme power; take holiness as the supreme ideal—such is the teaching of the One who said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass awayee lyg*****wwook* ft ME. ************ SELECTED REMPLIS.

Then the crowned head discovered that in employing the Irishmaiphe had made a bad mistake. O'Donnell was not the man to let the grass grow under his feet, and he made up his mind to make himself a power. In the long run, the Xing became, to all intents and purposes his private property. ' When the German Emperor visited the Paris Exhibition five of lhis sub- jects went with him, who were so disguised as to resemble in the min- utest detail their Royal master. The Emperor was well aware that „he would be constantly watched by jour- nalistic spies, for absolute privacy and freedom is a thing no monarch can have. . THE GERMAN leMPEROR. The Emperor desired to avoid being recognized so fat as possible, so he conceived the idea of attiring five men, whose faces were similar to his Imperial Majesty's, in the same kind of clothes that lie would wear him- self. They were of the same height, build, apd physique as their Temper- er, and their likeness was assisted by the theatrical wigernaker and facial artist. • - The late King of Italy, when he visited Vienna some years before his untimely death, 'and when political riots were rampaethe that city, was accompanied by three officers of his lieglyguard, who resembled him both in dress and features. The "dummy" kings played their parts with con- spicuous success. Crowds of people cheered them as they drove singly tlivough the streets of Vienne, and on one occasion the Emperor of Austria embraced one of them, rids,- taltitg him for the King.
