' Some years ago I was walking in boautifil Fairmount park, Philadel- phia,,, with my, father. He suddenly turned and said to me : "Frank, next week I am going to write a sermon upon the question 'Is life worth living ?' I am going to show that the solution of that question is coxiditional. Whether life is or is not worth living depends upon how you live it. If a pian lives in this world with the idea that he is only to receive and not to give, if he is Cursed with the enervating convic- tion that ho must be carried around on a litter and if he dons not want 'to be a worker, a laborer,, a doer for mankind, then life is not worth living. The sooner that man is dead the better. But if a man goes. through this world realizieg the glor- ious opportunities of Christian use- fulness and if he is willing to spend and be spent for others,, then life is worth living. Then the longer we live on earth the happier we shall be and. the more we shall make others happy.,. GAMBLING IS ROBBERY. Gambling is robbery. It takes wealth aazd gives nothing In return. It puts not one copper into, the world's treasury. It plants no seed. It digs no gold from the mine. It grows no wool upon the sheep's back. It builds no steamship lines. It manufactures no goods,: and it retails no finished products. It does nothing for national or social - 'de- velopment. It /tad no more to 'do with the marvelous development of the twentieth century than the vast riches of the piratical buccaneers of old had to do with creating the wealth of the fourteenth and the fifteenth anh sixteenth centuries. Its mission is always ruinous. 'Ever does it raise a black flag of death and never the white il:ag which should always be carried by the "heroes of peace." Gambling cannot even lay claim to the indirect advantages which a legi- timate business provides for the community. Every legitimate busi- ness is a benefit to mankind. When a man like old Commodore Vander- bilt started out to make a success in this world not even his most inti- mate friends could charge him with• being an intentional philanthropist. Any ono who had any financial deal- ings with old Cornelius always knew that ho was looting out first and. last for himself,, and for himself alone. But when Cornelius Vander- bilt in the legitknate role of railroad developer served himself he was also serving mankind, Itis railroads gave employment to thousands and tens of thousands of men and sup- ported those men's families. His iron roads developed whole regions in the west which would never have been opened by any other pioneer than the Cyclopean eye of the locomotive's headlight. When old Cornelius Van- herbilt made millions of dollars for himself he also made millions for his employees and hundreds of millions for his country. But what increase Of capital did the world receive when, in 1861, a man pf the name of Garcia at the Homburg gambling resort won in ono night 1,150,000 francs, or when, about the same time 111 Wiesbaden two Frenchmen lost 8,000,000 francs, or when, a few years ago, 'Khalil Bey lost at the ganging table $2.000,000 which he had inherited from his father, or when the niece of Cardinal Mazarin won in a single sitting from the Duchess of Portsmouth $40,000 or Lady Castlemaine of Charles IL's court lost in one night over $125,- 000 ? Did all these transactions in- crease the world's wealth by the value of one five cent loaf of bread ? Diel they help in one instance to feed the hungry or give employment to the poor ? A VOLUNTARY SLAV);. The healthful .desire for work and the gambler's passion do not nest in the same heart. They belong not to the same brood of children. They are never nourished by the same mother. When the young man fresh from a Christian hone first hears the rattle of a dice box and is led into the sanctum sanctorum of the baccarat seance all his noblest sen- sibilities are intensely shocked. But as his astonished eyes see great piles of coin anis greenbacks being passed across the table after awhile fascin- ation 'drives away fear. Then the warnings and restraiu'ts of a rebuk- ing conscience are shaken oft with such questions as those : "What is the use of my working hard every day of the week except Sunday and only receiving $6 or $10 on • pay night when I might earn 'ten times that sunt in a quint game ? What is the use of carrying bundles and being ordered about -by, the heads of the different business 'departments when by getting suro tips I can live a life of fain arid excitement at the races ? What is the use of my bo- ing a white slave when 1 can win my financial emancipation by a. lit- tle intelligent investment in lottery or policy ? I might draw there a lucky prize and live on Easy street the rest of my life. Somebody must win every etime. Why cannot I be that somebody '2" So the gambler's cupidity, begins to work. The young ulna's brain becomes botud'dled, . lie Shirks his daily tasks. As a poor, diseased., mental incompetent who is striving to solve the -Impossible mathematical problem of perpetual. motion he tries to work out a sys- tem Of "how to break the bank," He studies "chance hooks." Ike hunts up his guiging star or the star whieh,-. shone brightest on the night upon which ho was born. • Then at last, with all reasoning powers gone and blinded to all the duties of or- dinary life, the crazed enthusiast will haunt the gaining table as he once gladly sought his study desk or the storeroom Counter I charge upon this gauabling mania a direct robbery of the Christian world in that by besuiling legiti- mate recreations with its foul touch it has made .it impossible for decent men to enjoy certain healthful relax- ations. It is gradually stealing from us the privilege of enjoying outs door sports and indoor games by identifying them with betting and speculation. Whenever the leprous hand of the gambler is placed upon a game that sport must be forever eschewed by the good and the pure. On account of the gambler • the Christian church has been compelled to sena forth its edict of excom- munication upon the deck of cards. It is compelled to declare that every one of the kings and queens and jacks of spades and diamonds and clubs and hearts are knaves because cards have become publicly eecogniz- ed as . the gambler's tools, as the trowel is the mason's tool. On ac- count of the gambler's baneful touch the angel of wrath and denunciation, who stood with drawn sword at the Edenic paradise, is standing to -day at the entrance of every public race track saying to all good people. "Thou shalt not enter here." Talk to me about the development of the horse at the race track?, Every man of any intelligence knows that the race track to -day is chiefly run for the benefit of the gamblers. With- out the damning influence of the bookmakers the race horse would not attract enough people to -flay as a money investment to pay for his oats and his blankets. On account of the gambling evil even the bowling alley to -clay, the public billiard, table, the yachtsman's white sail and college athletics are under condemnation. In view of the immense amount of mon- ey which changes hands at every football game, it is a very grave question whether it would not be bet- ter for the different 'college faculties to cast their influence against every sport which would take students away from the home campus. PIT OF ETERNAL WOE. Young roan, you say that you own your own .money and have a right to do with it as you will. No, you have not. Where did you get that money? "Oh," you say, "father left it to mo in his will." For what diel he leave it to you? Did he not leave it as a trust? Did he not leave it to you in order that you with it could continue to spread abroad his Christie:I influence? ston- ey is a representative word. Money translated into the ordinary language of life means work and blood and sweat and exhausted energy. Money! Why, that represents the woman scrubbing - at the tub and the book- keeper compiling his figures and the nurse pouring out the medicines and the'carpeuter building houses and the flowers for the sick and the gospel for the ignorant and the depraved. 1)o you mean to tell me, 0 man, that at the gambling table you have a right •to squander your mother's. and father's Substancelilt that? e 1 ? And yet go into any one of the post- graduate schools and colleges to -day and you will find young men at the gaming table not more surely de- stroying themselves than squandering the mouoy that was won by the self- denying sacrilices of parental lives. "But," someone one else says, "the money 1 have is mine. Why? I did not inherit It or have it given to me. I made it. Therefore I have a right to do with it as I please." Oh, no, my brother, you have not. That money which you made is not yours. It belongs to your children. when your little children came into the world they brought to you certain moral obligations. You had no right to become ,a father unless you 'were ready to the best of your ability to look after your babies. That money which you squander at the gambling table means more than money. It means your children's clothes, your ehildreu's schooling, your children's proper start in life. Dr. Nott, I believe it was, who said, 'A gamb- ler's heart after awhile will become so dead to all love that if necessary he will be wilting' to gamble upon his own mother's coffin lid." You say that is a monstrous statement. I say it is not. He may not do that, but the gambler will do worse. Ile will destroy his children. It would be infinitely more humane for., me. to gamble upon my mother's cof- fin lid than to gamble away lay chil- dren's . education and opportunities. The cold lips of my dead mother could not rebuke mo, while the cracked, blistering tongue of the outraged and dishonored and dis- graced child of a heartless gambler might curse my soul into the black pit of eternal woe. Rulx WITH NO EXCEPTIONS. All "systems" which have ever been devised to break the "bank of chance" were failures, and they aro always sure •to be, failures. In a; Chinese temple I have seen the poor invalids before a hideous idol of woo'' make a prayer to their "god of health" and then select •at random an arrow out of a wampun, with a certain medicine marked upon it, and expect that that medicine would euro them of their disease. So I have seen poor dupes in Monte Carlo in the same foolish Way trying to work out a "system" by which the god of chance would give to them unlim- ited wealth, As all such "systems" aro:failures and will always be fail- ures I would today give you a "system." Which, if worked out, will bring a contpenteney and eternal hap - piness, if not unlimited goon. This is my system: Never in your life try to possess a dollar unless you are ready to give an equivalent in labor And sweat and toil. Never spend a dollar unless you have first earned It and have it in your possesefon. Nev- er run into debt. - Never by specula- tion or by progressive euchre party or by "prizes" at church fair or by "raffle" countenance in any way the development of the gambling spirit in others. Draw heavily from, one bank only, and that the great bank of di- vine grace. Circulate in every way its bank notes of kindness and for- giveness and sympathy. Let your one great purpose be not "how can I make others serve me," but "how can I serve others " Let your faith, hope and peace be centred in Christ the Saviour of men and make hint the Guido and Icing of your life. Soca a "system" as I have marked out is- a sure system. It is Christ's system. It will never bank- rupt you this side of the grave ex- cept of yom sinful meanness. And it is surd to bring you perfect peace beyond the grave and give to you all the limitless wealth of the treasure city of God. "In the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat broad." A SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE. . Scientists Are Puzzled Ovet Radium. The most fundamental principle of the physical sciences, the conserva- tion of er 'rgy, is something along the line of the Mother Goose jingle about what goes ,up est come down There is no possible way of getting more energy out of an engine than you put into it. The dream of pea•- petual notion is based on a fallacy. But the newly discovered wonder, radium, seems to' disprove the old theory or, at any rate, .the old theory as yet gives no satisfactory explanation of the extraordinary ac- tiob of the new element, scientists aro at their wit's end to account for it. We have a substance that "gives out a continuous supply of heat, besides several forms of so-called emanations —a gas, material particles, X-rays, cathode rays, etc.—without any ap- preciable loss of its own substance." It looks as if some new and higher. doctrine, transcending that of con- servation, were needed for further scientific advance. Not 1oz,E ago, before the British Association Charles Vernon Boys, president of the physical section, re- ferred to the - extraordinary signifr- caticc of radium. He said : Tho discoveries regarding radium 'trans- cend all others in intrinsic impor- tance and revolutivaary possibilities. Its everlasting pros' 'ction of heat which can barely be distinguished from perpetual motion which it has been an axiom of science to call im- possible, has left every chemist and physicist in a state of bewilderment. Thanks to a host of physicists at home and abroad, the mystery is be- ing attacked and theories are being invented to account for the marvel- lous results of observation,". The members of the same assocfa tion had two general theories to ac- count for the phenomenon. The old ono of conservation to the effect that the radium is slowly losing the amount of energy it gives off, and the new one that, in some mysterious way, the radium catches and trans- mits energy from the outside. A CHAPTER ON STAINS. Ink Stains.—Soak in sour milk. 1f a dark stain remains, rinse in a weak solution of chloride of lime. Blood Stains.—Soak ' zn cohl salt water, then wash in warm water with plenty of suety; afterward boil. Grass Stains,—Saturate the spot thoroughly with kerosene.,. then put in the wash tub. Iodine Stains.—Wash with alcohol, then rinse in soapy water. Hot Tea and Coffee Stains—Soak the stained fabric in cold water; wring, spread out and pour a few drops of glycerine on each spot. Let stand several hours. then wash with cold water and soap. Iron Rust.—Soak the stain thor- oughly with lemon juice; sprinkle with salt and bleach for several hours in the sun. Mildew—Soak in a weak solution of chloride of line for several hours. Rinse in cold water. Sewing Machine Oil Stains.—Rub with lard. Letstand forseveral hours, then wash with cold water and soap. Scorch - Stains,—Wet the scorched place; rub •with soap and bleach in the sun, Soot Stains,—Bub the spot with dry cornnteal,before sending to the wash. Fruit Stains—Stretch the fabric containing, the stain over a basin and pour boiling water an the stain. If the stain has been fixed by time, soak the article in a weak solution of oxalic acid or hold over the fumes of sulphur. .. Pitch, Wheel Grease,, Tar Statins.— Soften the stains with lard, then soak in turpentine. Scrape off the loose surface dirt; sponge with tur- pentine, arid' rub dry. Vaseline Stains.—Saturate 'the spot with ether and turn a cup over it to prevent evaporation until the stain is removed. Use the ether with great care. Grease Spots.—Hot water and soap generally remove these. If fixed by long standing, use ether, chloroform or naphtha. All three of these must be used away from 'the fire or artifncial light. Varnish avid Paint.—If the stain is on a coarse fabric, 'dissolve by sat- urating with turpentine; use alcohol if on a line fabric. Sponge with chloroform if a darkening is left by the turpentine. Be very cautious not to' use either the chloroform or turpentine where there is. Bre or ar- titIctal light, It is hard for oven the housewife of large experience to remember ex- actly the. simple agents for removing stains.

Text of the Lesson, II. Baan. xviii 24-33. G•olden,Text, Prov. xvfi., 25. .Tho Prominent feature of this les- • son is the grief. of a loving fathez, over an erring soxi,' and it' cannot but suggest the loving Father of Luke xv and - the welcome given to the prodigal son,, while both earx;y us back to the record in Gen. ill of the Lord seeking His wandering ones,. who by listening to the seissent - had turned away from Hitn wlio had created them . and had given them all things richly to enjoy. David would gladly have 'died for his son, but it is written, "Hereby perceive we the love of God because Re laid down Hislife for us," and "Goii coxuxnen- iieth His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us" (T. John ill, 16; Rom. v, 8). J)avid did what he could to prevent his soldiers from killing Ab- salom (verse 5), but his pride was his ruin (verso 9 with xiv, 20), and the Lord permitted )tint to, be slain (xvii,, 14). God our lather is not willing that any should perish. and has lnade such provision by the sac- rifice ' of His Son that none, who hear of it need perish (II Pet, iii,, 9; Jghn iii, 16). Absalom represents those who sit all costs are determined to live unto themselves, even though they kill father or mother in so doing. The coming anti -Christ will be a more fully .developed Absalom, for "he shall do according to his will, and he shall exalt himself said magnify himself above every god and shall speak marvelous things agsinst the God of gods" (Dan, xi, 36). Yet he shall come to his end and none shall help him (Dan. xi, 45), The words stand ever true : "Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him. * * * Woe unto the wicked; it shall be ill with him." * * * (Isa. fit, 10, 11.) Yet the con- flict between light and darkness, be- tween Christ and Satan, will contin- ue with increasing enmity and vigor on Satan's part until the coming of our Lord to overthrow 'the devil and his followers and to establish His kindgdonn (11 Mess. ii, 8; Rev. xvii, 14; xix, 10, 20; xx, 1-3, 10). While the thousands of David's fol- lowers, under the leadership of Joab and abishai and Ittai, contended with the followers of Absalom (verses 1-8) David eagerly, and no doubt prayer- fully, awaited the result (verse 24). The title "watchman," used here five times, and the word "tidings," used at least nine times in this chapter, suggest two very helpful lines of study. In this case it is the king's watchman looking for tidings from the field for the king, but the great contrast with the gospel story is that )fere the king is fearful lest his son shall be slain, whereas in the gospel the King, our Father in heav- ers, gave His only Son to be slain for His enemies. David's love centered upon Absalom, but God so loved the world that He gave His only be- gotten Son that sinners who deserve to perish might not perish, but be saved and share the glory of Ilis kingdom. He is seeking for 'those who are willing to be bearers of the good tidings of great joy which Ho de- sires all people to hear (Luke f]., 10), but tbere aro few who, like Ahimaaz, say, "Let 1110 now run and bear 'tidings" (verse 19), although the Lord's call still is, "Whore shall I send and who will go for us?" (Isa. vi., 8.) Tho gospel of the blessed r .• God (Acts xx., 24;, I. tem. 1. 11). is , the greatest good news that mor- tals ever heard, yet few semi to be- lieve it oven aiming those who pro- fess to, for good news makes people glad, and often so glad that they must tell it to some one, but in how many do we see the gospel act that way? Then, may the question not well be asked of the majority of pro- fessing Christians, "Have you real- ly hoard the gospel?" The watch- man brings to mind Isa. L'di., 6, 7; xxi., 11, 12, and points us to the time when the true Son of David shall sit on David's throne and reign in righteousness. All kings shall fall down before Him, all nations shall serve Him (Isa. xxxii., 1, 17; Ps. ixxii., 11). David's grief over Absalom (verse 33) suggests the Lord Jesus weeping over Jerusalem, and recalls the words: "If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy clay, the things which be- long -unto thy peace! But now they are hid from thine eyes." "0, Jer- usalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I. have gathered thy children to- gether even as a hen gatheroth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!" (Luke xix., 42; Matt. xxiii,, 37). Ho who uttered those words of lamentation also said, "0 Israel, thou hnst destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help," "0 Israel, return unto the Lord thy God, for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity" (Ilos. xiii., 9; xiv., 1). He is stili saying, "Coale unto Mel" and "Elim that cometh unto Me I will in nowise cast out" (Matt. xi., 28; John vi., 37). We must beware lest under any circumstances we seem to take sides against God, for whatever God per- mits we must stand with Trim even though it be against ourselves and against those clearest to us, for it is possible to honor .our loved ones more than God (I. Sam. He 29; Luke xiv„ 26), It is possible also to be mere interested in what is called the Lord's work than in the Lord Him- self, and the question of- chapter xix. 11, might well be put to malty, "Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house?" 11 the whole church would honestly cry, "Colyte, Lord Jesusl" • (chapter xix., - 14; Rev. xxii„ 20) who can tell how 80011 the ]cingdont; might come? , I 11.108,11 by "honestly," acting as 11 they meant it by living to give the gospel as quickly as possible to every creature.
