The most important conviction that rant conte to any ratan is this, that it 's ent.rely in his .iwn power to determine his destiny, The freedom of the will 's more than an abstraction of philoso- phy; it isworkingthat has by C y, afact i1.; realization. brought man to self•re- abzolion, to freedom and salvation. The coward and the weakling may seek refuge in heredity and in envir- onment, but none will eecape respon- s:bility for his own lite by blaming his grandfather or his neighbor. If cir- cumstances mold you it is beeausc you ere pliable; you are the willing clay where y(,u should be the sculptor. Nom�n howaited for windsof cir- cumstance ever found himself wafted to the skies. Character never is a wind- fall. Ideals and oportunities offer them- selves from without, but we must up and possess then[ for ourselves. \Ve never shall enter the desirable land of what wo would be by any other way than deliberately setting out for it. How many are going through all their clays, drifting, wailing for some favor- able tide or heavenly wind to swell the sail; and carry then[ t•3 any desirable haven. They would be good if they could be good without the investment of energy; they would Ise willing to he wound up and made to run in the right way if some one else WOULi) DO T11t WINDING. Supposing goodness could be confer- red from without, how much good would 1t do us? Nothing becornes the posses- sion of character except ars a result of determinat'.on and endeavor on the part ef the individual. Beauty of life never ie the product of passivity. Chnracter admits of no external compulsions. No power of heaven or earth can force us to be good either against or even without our wills. The only good we have is that we will to have and to be. There is no power that wills our ill, nor any. outside ourselves. that can take from us the power to chose and to achieve the highest. Any other view of life finds its source either in super- stitiew , eer in sloth. Tito creature of circumstances Ls n pitiable object, a piece of driftwood where a strong swimmer ought to be, a craven crying for mercy where the courageous rejoicing to Lind strength and the prize through struggle should lee. We ought to nudes this world so that the weak can develop their wil'4 and find their salvation; but we never can wisely make it so that the deliber- redeto ets all can find fairhavens. Lite with alt it brings of joy and care, of weal and woe, is just the call of eternity to man, crying out t') the soul to set itself free, to gain the high prizes, to will to do end be and overcome. F:verylhingg is deeded by how you face your life, whether with con,plainings and fear or willt rejoicing and resent - tem fur its struggle. In a world where character is devel- c.ped by freedom of choice and by ex- ercise of will TIII: GREATEST CURSE that could conte would be to have no need, no trail, no sorrow, no dillicul- ties, nor disappointments, to be free Groat the slr'enu«;u; eheic •s. These are the challenges of fate, the ways to ['ewer, the paths to salvation. What, then, has religion to do with realizing the full life? Does it not of - k r divine aid which, regardless of our wills, can carry us on to perfection? If it d'_e•, it offers that which is value- less because conferred and therefore erly external. a robe of righteousness where we need the righteous life with- in. This is what religion offers; ideals, cppuirtunities, sympathies, inspiration,_ environment. and nurture for the ren- lization of the best life. Yet all theso wait for aur wills.

TiIE LESSON WORD STUDIOS. (Rased on the text of the Revised Version.) The Book of Proverbs. -The great master of Hebrew proverbs was Solo- mon, "son of David, the king of Israel.' (d1 hint we are told that he uttered more than three tlzotrsund such say- ings. The canonical book of Proverbs, however, in the torn) in \vhich it has come down to us, is cif composite au- thorship; that is, In it are collected the wise sayings of a number of different persons. 'this is clearly indicated by the superscriptions of different groups f verses, as. for ins lane, chapter 22. 17 to 21 22, of which we are told in the first verse of the passage filet tlteso are the words of the wwise, and in chap- ter 30, in which we are given thewordi vt Agi►r, and chapter 31. 1-9, where are recorded exhortations to Lemuel, king of Massa, spoken by his mother. The central portion of the ixook. in which are found the provers, properly so called, constitutes.; (ho ixe lion conte '- hided by ,Solomon. \Vhen and by whom the. se wise s n yings from dr'ffd3r- ent sources were collected and put in- to their present form wo do not know. The verses which constitute the text for mar to -day's lesson are n part 01 a group (f verses belonging to the words of 1hc• wise (comp. 22. 17). Verse 29. Who hath woe? --The wore) translated "woe' in our Bibles in the Hebrew is simply an inlerjeetion or exclamation of distress. We alight translate 1l simply "O." The 1lebrew idiom reads literally "To whore O?" that Is. to w'hotn is there cause for ex• claiming in distress?? • \Vho hath sorrow? -Hebrew, literally, tr "whom nlns?' the word translated "sorrow" being again simply an inter- jection. thnugh not the same interjec- tion a; in the preceding sentence. Contentions-Quarrelsdtmen •ss such as results from indulgence in strong drink. and which consequently lends to pug - racily and therefore also to wounds without cause. Redness of eyes -The nciunl meaning of the expre'sieon talus translated is not certain. The \w' ired rendered "redness' may also be translated "darkness." or "dark flashing." Any rat (hese transln- tions would make good sense rind he in harmony with the facts, that Is. with the actual effect of excessive in. :iuigence in strong drink. though pro - I ahly the rendering ns we hive it in the Fngg)ish Bible is the preferable. 34).

Archdeacon Perewne, comment- ing on this s ee in Ilk Camtnideglc bible. points out the touch of irony in the use of this word in this connewc- licn.

Goeth down smoothly ---Or, as our Authorized (or common) Version of the Bible translates the phrase. "moveth itself aright." The rendering of the Devised t'ersfon is, however, to to pre- ferred, and is in harmony with tiro wording of Song of Sol. 7. 9, "And thy mouth like the best wine, that welt' down smoothly," or. ns in tho Author- ised Version. "goeth down sweetly" (marginal reading "Straightly"). 33. Strange things --Marginal render- ing. as in the Authorized Version. "Strange women." The thought is that the imagination of the drunkard is haunted by strange tanel sinful visions as his meulh 'Wendt' perverse things. 31. As he that lielh down in the midst (.t the sea -That is. as one utterly fool- hardy, because of having leen robbed 4 f his powers of reason and judgment 1.y strong drink.

Sleeping sickness, as Its name indi- cates, bears a curious resemblance to sleep. It is caused by the sting of the tsetse fly. Ttte actual bite is n',t poi- sonous. The fly acts ns n go-between, depositing its one animal a tr)•pntloso- ma which it has sucked frn)m the blood et another. The trypan'esoma, or para- site, carries death. After infection, tato victim becomes extremely excitable. Then bo lapses into lethargy, followed by exhaustion. The periods of lethargy grow longer and deeper; the interludes of excita- bility shorter and mere violent. Vnrioue: glands of the body begin to swell, and at last the patient sinks into a state of coma, or continuous sleep. No patient, when ho reaches that stage, ever awakes. Ile sleeps on and (nn --for six months, a year, or even two years. Finally, "Time hakes him dome, to the soft, Iong sleep, to the broad. sweet bfesorn of death."
