"Skin for skin; all that a man hath will he give for his life." Our surprise, however, at finding a biblical adage made the ruling treed of such poor specimens of hu- manity will be ronelderahly lessened if Ivo look up the passage quoted and find it there set down as an ut- terance of mine other than SATAN PfleiSELls, the malicious and active enemy of good mem as the poet author of Joe/ depicts him, When Job's patience under severe family losees and finan- cial disaster's Is held up for the evil one's admiration, he replies: "All these losees aro nothing. Any men will surrender his fur robe to save his own skin. All that a Man bath will he give for his life." This is simply a satanic sneer. It i$ not true. The Jewish law pre- scribed that a man should rather surrender his We than transgress the second, sixth and seventh command- ments, and multitudes have heeded it. The unwritten law of the Chris- tian inartyrs, too, dictated the same defiance of wrong clothed with pow- er and demanding allegiance; while, the annals of religious tyranny are red with the blood of those good men and saintly women who suffered death rather than be false to the principles of their honest faith. There have been and there are those litho will surrender all they prize to prolong their life, Even we of this practical and un - poetic age at times have an inkling that thero must and shall be more than the bare enjoyment of life In ear earthly existence.

The similar thing holds true In the moral world. Weak and fallible as we all are, let us be warned against pushing the margin of safety near to the punishment line.. "Sin," said the rabbis, "Is at fire& as slender as a spider's web, but it grows; it grows to the caliber of a wagon rope," and before we know it we are dragged across the danger limit by the Nvhiloin gossamer.

Nehemiah Rebuilds the Walls of Jerusalem. Golden Text, Matt. 26.41. LESSON WORD STUDIES. Note—'Vhese Word Studies are based on the lievieed Version. Introductory Note.—.After the time of lasting and prayer rene•red to in our lesson for November 12 Nehe- miah, the king's eupbearer, laid the matter of Ids deepest concern, name- ly, the clesolato condition of Jams.); lein, before King Artaxerxes and re. calved permission from him to go lo 00113011 to Jerusalem for a period of years to rebuild the city and it: walls. The king also gave to Nehe.- inicth lettere eddressed to the gover- nors of the provinces through whith ha was to pass, together with an es- cort of horsemen and foot soldiers to insure his safe anti unhindered journey, Nybile a letter to Asaph, "keeper ol the king's forest," neural for him the .necessary building mat- erial for "beams for the gates of the castlo which appertainoth to the house, mid for the wall of the City,' and foe a private dwellieg for hlra- tielt (comp. Neb. 2, 9), Arriving at jerusalem, Nehemiah first made a secret inspection of the condition of affairs and examined the walls. Than he called together the nobles ana . priests ancl elders and oncoureged them -to undertake the rebuilding of the walls anti the renovation of the entire city. No sooner was the work begun than neighboring tribes united against the Jows to hiuder the un- dertaking. Their attitude at first was oft of scorn and contempt, but as the work progressed aucl approach- ed its successful completion their contempt was changed to intone jealousy, hatred, and active oppos, tion. Who theft enemies were and how Nehemiah prepared his people for their intended attack on the city is told in our lesson text.

That tribes al tribUtary to the Santo king shook thus be at wouity and war with on another is quite in harmony with th actual we -M eons then existing, es pecially on the frontier of the great Persian =pie°, 0, But we made our prayer un+o our God—Nehemiah is himself relat- ing tho story, and the p0011000 refers to the JeNvish colony of which he was now the governor. 10. Aud Judah said—The woiel "Judah" hero refers to the whole Jewish community, which, through the elders and representative men, communicated with Nehemiah.

The whole of this verse must be taken together tylth the next. It is intended to point out that internal obetueles its as external hind- rances were oncounteeed in the at- tempt to carry out the work, The people themselves were tired out and discouraged, 11..

Ho knew als that the Jews were conscious of their own weakness, Their only hope was in Jehovah, in whom Nehemiah himself explicitly trusted for assis- tance. Ho seeks to inspire the same trust in Jehovah and hope of victory In the hearts of the people. AFRICAN' 1VIONARCII. The Little King of Uganda is an August Person.

A remarkable milling project is be- ing carried otet, near Diabolo canon in Arkansas by the Standard Iron Company of NeW York. The object of the company is to unearth mid smelt a gigantic 'meteor which lies buried there. This meteor probably, struck tbe earth many ages ago. The Indians Nvho inhabit that region have no legend of the wonderful event. Tho loeation of the meteor is marked by a hole in the earth three- fourths of a mite long end six Mee drecl feet deep. The surrounding country for a radius of several miler is covered by the fragments of this heavenly visitor. They have furnish- ed much iuteresting innterial for in- vestigations for inieerelogists. Sorao of the fragments weighed limey tons elle brought rich returns of silver, gold and lead when shipped to the smelter. All of the fragments that have been analyzed run high in Mad, silver and gold, This remarkable mineral property waS acquired more than a year ago by the Standard Iron Company which began the evorit to locate the inoteor by meant of a shatt which it is Milking Motu the bottom of the great bole. This shaft has reached a depth of more than four heedred feet, or more than °vie thousand feet from the original earth's stieface. The sift ef tho mete Dor has been carefully ealculeted bY scientific ee:perts, whe take ati a hetes the Mee of the hole which it Made in the earth. It is estimated that, the gold, eilver anti lead which the motooli contains will ainomit to $19,000,000. , It is believed, that the NOT ALL IN THE TELLING, "1 )»ako it a rule te tell rey trite everythine that happens, Rad in thet 11(13' we avoid misundersiandIngs," Feld the man in the smoking ear comizertment the other clay. het's nothing to brag—of," mid one of his companions.
