In the kingdom al Gad we have
• also a supreme eutliority. The coma-
, ells of the churches may formulate
'doctrines, make decrees and con-
struct creeds and catechisms, but
high over all there is the will of the
great King of kings. Christ is the
supreme 'ruler of his kingdom, and
his word is the test by which every
'dogma and practice must be judgezi.
Let us consider some of the charac-
teristics of this government.
NOT AN ABSOLUTE MONARCH.
First, it is an absolute rn.onarcliy.
We have governments on earth that
see describe as absolute monarchies,
meaning that they have no constitu-
tion. There aro thousands of things
which. the Russian czar would like to
do which Ile cannot do. In an in-
finitely higher 500.50 is Christ the
absolute ruler in his kingdom. In
his wisdom and power he governs
without check, and his word Is the
law and life of his people. "I am
the Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and the ending, saitli the Lord,
which is and was and which is to
come the Almighty."
.A. significant illustration of Christ's
originality and his freedom from cur-
rent principles and prejudices is given
in the .gospels, and it may help us
to understand his attitude if we
study the story. One day while
Jesus was teaching in the temple
• surrounded by the people the seethes
and Pharisees tried to entrap him.
Bight, into the temple where Jesus
was they dragged a trembling, fright-
ened, sobbing woman who had been
taken in adultery. Right through
the crowds of listeners they pushed
her. Then they cried out in stentor-
ian tones so. that all could hear:
"Master, what shall wo do with her?
Shall we stone lier to death, as
Moses commanded. or shall we let
lier go free?" instead of Christ
condemning or acquitting the poor
creature, as they all supposed he
must do, Ciiiiit. by his actions as
well as by the word of lip con-
demned the ince who were her ac-
cusers. What was the meaning of
that judge est? Ws cannot for a
moment suppose that a being so pure
as Christ thought lightly of so hein-
ous a sin. It must liavebeen loath-
some and abhorrent to him, but wo
may learn a lesson from the way in
which he treated the sinner and her
accusers, a lesson all the more weigh-
ty because it comes from him who is
the ern/Jodie(' law of the kingdom of
God.
NO DISTIN'CTION AS TO SEX.
Tho divine law, in the first place,
makes no discrimination between the
masculine and the feminine sins. It
docs not come to man and smilingly
say, "Husband, you have a right to
be a libertine, while your wife must
treact• the narrow path of virtue."
It does not say, "Brother, here in
the 'saloon of respectability' you can
get drunk, but if your sister is found
in that saloon she will be disgraced
for lite." It does not say that a
man can tell vile stories and fre-
quent the low rime tracks and be the
companion of pugilistic tlings and
dissolute characters and still be re-
spected, while a womau, having done
wrong, can never ho allowed to enter
again int e the association of the
good and the true and the reepoct-
able. But the divine law does say
this "011, men, if the sin that this
woman has committed is to be Pun-
ished by. stoning, every one of yo0
who has committed the. sa.mn sin de-
serves to be stoned also." A blati-
phony from a man's lips in the sight
of God is just as vile and culpable
as a blasphemy from a Women's lipa.
• The sins of Ananias and Ahab aro
OR evil as the sins of Sapphiea and
Jezebel. .And yet from time im-
• memorial the world has always had
two criminal courts in which it lies

one is the "court of mercy" for 0111S-

There have been hundreds of thou-

blwo, Reader, what is your opinion
ns to the real use the Creator has
for these things? Take a look at,
the question from this point of view.
There is a law of Nature and of
Natinees God that things slowly
evolve front lower ,planes to higher,
a sturdy, steady and dignified ad-
-entice toward more perfect things in
both the Physical and Spiritual
world, The Ponderous tread of evo-
lutionary development Is fixed by
the Infinite and will not be quick-
ened out of natural law by any of
man's methods.
According to a medical journal, this
is an accurate definition of a
blush"A blush is a temporary oeythema
and entail:fieeffelgence of the physio-
gnomy, etiologised by perceptiveness
of the scneorium when in a predica-
ment of unequilineity from a sense of
eliame, anger, or otlier cause, &venter

dated praecoreia,'
it makes one blush to read it.
Therefore we see many iltnsteations
showing how nature checks too rapid
advance. Illinois raises Phenomenal
crops of corn for tmvo or three years.
If she continued to do so every year
her formers would advance in wealth
fat, beyond those of other sections or
countries. So Nature interposes a
bar every three Or four years and
brings on a "bad year."
31e1e we see the leveling influence

SHEEP -BIRDS.
The yaktunik, a species of crane, is
said to he one of the most intelligent
birds known. The bird is used by
the natives of Venezuela, South Am-

of sheep. It, is said that. however
