"They have not hurt me' '(Dan. 0:22).
Daniel'faith never wavered from • the
time the Klug's decree was made until
he was taken upt of the den of lions.
There was a solid basis for hie faith. It
had not had a mushroom growth. In
hie youth were decided evidences of hie
strong faith. The devotion that inspir-
ed hiu to pray in him chamber three
times a day with bis window7epen to-
ward Jerusalem was a productive soil
in, which his faith grew strong. The
king's decree did not find him cold
and dead spiritually. His faith continn-
ed to grow as his enemies were carry-
ing out, their part of the plot. Neither
the proaSure of business eares and re-
sponsibility nor the fact of hie being
in e, neatlien court had dulled his spir-
heal senses. He came to the test with
his faith unimpaired. He spent the
night in nerfeet security, and could say,
"They have not hurt me:' The fires
of persecution and affliction can not de-
stroy faith. Faith is independent of
the powers of earth and hell. Faith ts
indestructible.
"The watere were risen" (Ezek. 47: 5.)
The stream of salvation which has its
source in infinite love; manifested in the
atonement; can not be confin.ed or (none
ed. lt is for the health of the nations
anil is destined to reach all lands. 'Ulm
wa Las were risen" is an expression in-
dicative of the increase of gincinin the
believer's soul. A constaney of faith,
obedience, prayer and activity in Christ-
ian duty keeps open the channel which
• supplies the soul with divine grace. The
decant. of spirittudity is designed to be
mi increasing one, and it is a diniimele
ing one only where there is a lack in the
believer.

If 1 perieli, I perish" (Eeth. 4: 10.)
The declaration of Esther here recorded
was the keynote of her success. Cow-
ardly vecillacion would have lost the
day for her and her people. Crises arise
in the life of the Christian, when he
mast close his eyes to that about hint
whieh insists on being seen, and must
press his wa-forward, following the path
or duty, bold in Ins faith in God. The
instinct of self-preservation and the eus-
toms of the court of the PerStan king
• said, "Do not venture unaked into the'
royal presence," but Esther's eye told,
in a larger vision, and God made the
way clear and prosperous. it is only
when our determination reaches the
piteth indicated by Esther's words, "if I
perish, 1 perish,' that we really amouut
to anything in the world of the Lord.
Christians and this stamp are a :menace
to the kiegviont of 'sante and a tower of
strength to the cause of.God. There is
no presumptioe here. Luther was not
presumptuous when he decitle to go to
Worms, nor Was John Bunyan, nor Joel
Wesley, when crises arose in their lives.

the Government of the. United States
"must be fully aware that the British
Government could tot allow such an
affront to the national honoe to pass
without full reparation."
This etrong language placed Lincoln
and his advisers in it dilemma. The
seizure of Mason and Slidell had beeri
received, with acclaim by the people.
Capt. Charles Wilkes, who had effected
it, was the hero ot the hour, his name
beinp linked ivith that of the country's
greatest nava commanders. Honors were
showered on him.
.A very huge party shouted for war
• with England. "We have licked her
twice, and can do it again," was their
sentiment.
Cooler heade sew that the point in-
volved in the Trent affair Wee ono that
the United States could not logically
defend. It was the stopping and search-
ing of a neutral vetisel bound from one
neutral port to another, , The principle
was one against which the country had
fought in the war with England in 1812-
16. To claim rights under it in the
present ease was to abandon America's
traditional Position and defend some-

Item,' assistant professor of Latin-Am-
erican history in Yale University, who
set out in June to find lost cities of
the pre-Inea period in Peru, returned
to -day, quite satisfied with the results
of his expedition. With him went Prof.
Tsai Bowman, geologist; Kai Hendrick -
sen, topographer, and H .L. Tucker,
archeologist.
The .expedition found one of the lost
cities covered with a. corn field on a
plateau wbout 2,000 feet above the val-
ley of the River Unonbamba. The ex-
plorere were attracted to the plateau
by Indiane, who told them of the exit+
tenee of marble relics there, A eerpen-
tine goat path led from the valley to
the plateau, which was ahnost surround-
ed by preeipitous rocks. Prof. Bingham
said
"We found ruins of bnildhigs almost
constructed to white granite
or, as the Spardelt despoilers called it
marble, some still mOre than ten feet
above the ground. We were the first
white menI fancy, that had ever seen
this city since the time of Pizarro, 400
year ago. The stones of the houses
were beautifully jointed and the cut-
ting perfect. The buildings were made
without mortar. The foundation stones
were very large, some being eight feet
wide, six feet deep and twelve feet
long. We could not bring any of the
• specimene with us, as the Peruvian Gov.
eminent will not Id an of the ruins
be taken from the country.
"The city is called by the natives
Macohu Pichu. The pre -Inca remains
aro much more interesting and. denote
0, higher eondition of civilization then
the Inca relics, No marble could be
more excpusitely cut. We believe that
the city is that mentioned by the Per-
uvian explorer, Sir Clements Robert
Markham, on the hill of the three win-
dow templee. The temples were three
windowed. The stones were Carved in
the Egyptian style."

The real Meaning of the present inch
cleat is perhaps to be found moot clearly
in the comment/a of all British, journale
following the Tripolitau adventure of
Italy. In annexing Tripoli and. the Cne
rumen, Italy acquired the but natural
harbor between, Bixerta and Suez, and
inunietakably prepared the way for a
naval pint itt Africa., which would in the
future reproduce itt the Cyretutica, the
French stronghold in Tunis.

at Tobruk instantly changes the :situa-
tion for the Britisb. Hest of Malta Bri-
tain has no naval base comparable with
Malta or Gibraltar, which woteh the
central and western portions of the in-
land sea. 8o long as Turkey and Greece
remained owners of the shores of the
Aegean, and the Eastern Mediterranean,
Britain had no reasoe to undertake the
expense of cOnetruetang a naval foetrees
in thisquarter of the world. That sit-
uation has now ceased to exist.
The 13ay of Solium, thus acquired by
Great Brifaiu is relatively in the mule
• poeition toward the strait between Crete
and North Africa as is Tobruk, and it is
separated from it by little morethan
two hundred 11111,Ca.. A British naval
station here would enable the Britieb
Mediterra.neau fleet to intervene be-
tween Suez and the Italian fleets at
Tobruk, and would give it preciselylhe

Inland. connection. But for several
years the Khedive of Egypt has been
spending a portion of his personal in-
come in the construction of a railroad
west from Alexandria along the coed.
More than a hundred and- fifty miles
of the line are now completed, and a
further extension of eeventy-five miles
would carry it to Sollum. The (temple -
tion of the railroad would call for small
expense Since the line follows the coast.

.Great Britain during all the weeks that
have folowed the Italian enpedidtion to
Africa has critieised the apparent im
action of the British Government in the
face of a change in. the Mediterranean
situation that vitally anfected Great
Britain. The fact that Italy, despite
her own pleasant relations with Eng-
land, is technieally at least it partner itt
the Triple Allier:4e has provoked na-
tural comment.
That the annexation of Sollum meets
the new situetion is clear. Negotia-
tions with Italy finally establishing
British, thet is Egyptian, sovereignty
are probable. But it is equally prob-
able that Great Britain and Italy have
already reeehed an agreement on this
point. Unmistakably, European com-
ment, as revealed in the Itete despatehes,
foreshadows the construction at the Bey
of &Alum of a new Gibraltar, complet-
ing with the western Gibraltar and

ity in the Mediterranean.
