CHAMPION 0311' IITJMAN RIGIITS,
A. big bill for church privileges I
find charged against us all in the
divine ledger. Why all ? Because
the church of ,Jesus Christ is not,
as some people suppose, a small
building dedicated for a few wed-
dingsftulc'a15 mid a place in
and 1
which are to be gathered a few Sun-
day school scholars, 11 is not, as a
great preacher once described it,
merely an "ecclesiastical Flying
Dutchman," with a dead minister in
the pulpit and dead hearer hi the
pew and a dead deacon passing the
collection plate. The church of
Jesus Christ is a great gospulizing,
vitallzfng, intellectualizing and
liberty producing institution. It
teaches man to live right as well as
to die right.
The church of Gori is the greatest
champion of human rights of tho
present day. Some years ago 1 sat

SPIRITUAL iDUCATION,
A big debt for a gospel education
I find charged against us all in the
dia'1010 ledger. The struggles of
poor boys for a college education of
Mr some of the most pathetic of il-
lustrations. Harry is a farmer's

wants to go to school, and how can w

Ids 1hysinal health wrecked. Ali,
that is pathetic! That is a sacrifice
that is being matte In every part of
the land.
But if it is pathetic to see a poor
boy struggling for DM intellectual
education how much more pathetic
is it to see one struggling for a spir-
itual education when he has been
born in the cradle of sin? When I
go down the street and see 111011 and
women whose faces front early child-
hood were scarred and Marred' with
sin,, I often say to myself: "What
chance have ' those poor mortals?
Their fathers perhaps were jail-
birds. Their mother's were disso-
lute and deserted them perhaps on
the day they were born. Their
companions from youth have been
thieves and robbers. And yet some
of these poor wretches, horn in sin,
have struggled up by the grace of
Cod into the light. They have, by
slow and painful stages, 20011 a hard
earned spiritual education, like "Uid
Phil," for many years the door-
keeper of the Jerry McAuley mis-
inion, who was a thief and had serv-
ed seventeen (oars in Jail for his
c•hms. They struggled on and up,
battling their way step by step,
fighting against all the inherited
tendencies of their past lives. They
struggled u11 out of the hovel and
the saloon mid the gutter and the
poorhouse. Like the demon possess-
ed Mary, at last they became tho
sainted Mary, as spotless and pure
LAS the driven snow.
But, thank God, none of us - no,
believe not oto -over had to go
through such a struggle for Le spir-
itual education. We had that in the
days of our childhood. We were
born in Cheistiol homes and roared
at tiro knee of Christian mothers,

back for this education? Because he
has given us that spiritual educe -

THE
Se S. LESSON.
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
JUNE 7.
Text of the Lesson, Acts xxvii.
33-44. Golden Text, Ps
cvii., 28.
38, 34. I pray you to take some
meat, for this is for your health ;
for there shall not a hair fall from
Che head of any of you.
While the few ceosen(1 verses of the
halter are assigned as the lesson,
e arc asked to study the whole
limiter, and it is sincerely to be
open that every teacher will do so
and give special attention to verses
22 to 25, which, it seems to me,
give the cream of the chapter. In
duo time Paul and other prisoners
sail for Italy, but south of Crete a
tempest strikes then, and for many
days they see neither sun nor stars
and are so tempest tossed that they
give up all ]lope of over being' sawed.
But God has Ills eye upon His ser-
vant, and one night an 'angel of
God came to him in the midst of
the storm and told him that lie
must not fear, that he would surely
bo brought before Caesar and that
while the ship would be 'wrecked
there would bo no loss of life. Paul,
therefore, encouraged them, and our
lesson open§ with his entreaty that
they take some food, for they had
been fasting for fourteen days and
the ship was now at anchor, for
they had found soundings, though
they knew not where they were.
Note the proverbial expression. for
assured safety in I Sam, xiv, 45 ;
1I Sam. xiv, 11; I Kings f, 52 ;
Matt. x, 30,
85-87. And when he had thus
spoken he took bread and gave
thanks to God in presence of them
all, and when 11e had broken it ho
began to eat. Then were they all
of good cheer.
I'To acknowledged the only living
and true God bolero thein all and
gladly confessed that ho be-
longed to God and served Hint
(verse 23), Thus Ise comforted and
encouraged 375 people, and they also
ate and were strengthened. A cheery
person can make others cheery, and
such people at'o 11111c11 needed in this
world. Compare verses 22, 25, 30
and then look up our Lord's oft re-
pealed "Be of good cheer, or of
good comfort." In Matt. ix, 2, 22 ;
xiv, 27 ; Mark x, 41) ; John xvi,
88 ; Acts exit!, ,11. Our Lord tries
tho sante word In each of these
Places ' Paul's word in our lesson is
clinereet, but tni•h would teach us
to be happy and of good courage,
Note that Patel did himself what he
asked them to do. Example is

enough they lightened the ship and

DEBT WE OWE TO GOD,
A big debt we also owe to God for
the blessings which conte to us form
our living loved ones, Strange le
Hie feet that we rarely appreciate a
dear one until site is gone. There
are plenty of monuments andmenl-
oeial5 erected for )lead men, but very
seldom any fm' the living, Ono of
the most, remarkable statues in this
country is that raised in the Brook-
lyn Prospect Park to James S. T,
St0anahalt. It was unveiled while
the ,"grand old man of Brooklyn"
was alive to see it with his own
eyes and with his own caws )tear the
eulogies of his life's work, We

w0111d warrant it, to endow a hos-
pital or library or foundling Home

Wise individuals are always ids -
covering some occult key to feminine
character. Tests applied to the
e'hape, texture, and color of a wo-
man's hands, of her feet, of her
eyes, and of her hair, show virtues
and shortcomings in her nature.
Some ono has lately been making a
study of various throats, and has
deduced from his observations some
Interesting if obvious results. The
women with the swanlike neck is
said to be a creature whose men-
tality, to use a modern invention in
words, dominates her existence.
Physically delicate, the long necked
woman is mentally much alert, but
sensitive to an ext•aovlinary de-
gree. She is timid and suspicious,
yet, whore her trust is betrayed,
bears her woe in silence without a
sign,
The throat that denotes obstin-
acy is short and thick and usually
belongs to the girl with athletic
shoulders and not many inches in
stature. The girl with anatomical
traits of this sort is extremely
good natured, though she obtains
her own way by persistence. She is
also noted for her executive ability,
and on this account does not mind
mounting platforms or o'ganlizing
societies that will help her sex a
step forward on the road to coin-
plete etnancfpation.
All curves and white satinliko
softness is the throat of the born
enchantress, upon whioh the ]teal] is
set as exquisitely as was that of
Mien of Troy. Consciously or un-
consciously tlw coquette invariably
males good use of her beautiful and
supple neck.
"LET G0" TO REST.
The principle of rest is the pein-
tiple of relaxation - a temporary
cessation or suspension of energy
front any part or from all of the
body. Absolute rest implies the
complete "letting go" of all ten-
sion, mental, nervous, and phy-
sical; all aro involved, to some ex-
tent, in every act of our daily life,
nor can they bo entirely separated.
Let us see what will happen if two
place the body in a reclining pos-
111011, so comfortably arranged that
absolute physical repose would seem
inevitable. Then let the, mina take
hold of .some problem, and concen-
trate on it until all the mental en-
ergy is aroused. This energy 15
unconsciously conlululioated to the
nervous system, and soon the entire
physical self is in a highly tense
condition. Few people realize this
until their attention is called to it,
They think they must bo resting
when the body is inactive. it is
not necessary that the body (10 axis
in order ,to bo tense. A sot
of muscles may be nervously toe,5e,
and yet lie apparently motionless.
This difference between a tells° 1lrlt0-
clo and a 113118010 entirely relaxed, o•
devitalized, is what should be thor-
oughly Understood, for this tense
condition, brought on by mental and
nervous strain, and often held with-
out relaxation for hours, produces
greater fatigue than many forms .01
exorclse that aro snore physical in
execution.
"Tr I thought that any girl would

CANNING FRUIT.
Some housekeepers put up dozens
of cans of fruit every year and sel-
dom lose a can, while other have
tried repeatedly with very poor suc-
cess. Their failure is sometimes as-
cribed to "luck," but the same care-
ful attention td details that wtls ne-
cessary in one case would have met
with tho same result in the other,
There is nothing mysterious about
the process, and success depends
upon the observance of a few simple
rules. The fruit should be brought
to such a degree of heat that the
germs of fermentation are destroyer],
and shut up air -tight. Keep tin
calfs in a cool, dry place, and wrap
glass cans with paper, or keep them
in the dark.
Tho fruit should be fresh and not
too ripe. Look over the grapes and
berries and pick them from the
stems ; peaches, apples and pears

soda, not near enough, however, to
injure the varnish. After a little
