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 111 Cooper institute et a greet mass meeting. Robert G, Ingersoll was one of the speakers, During his ad- dress ho hurled at time nu(lienee this stinging senlenee 1 "Tho reason I despise the churall of Owl is batonso ft (1100115 every wheel of progress," A fieneeed the cheienutrt of the meet- ing arose and said 1 "1 admire Pole ,•t (1, In(er8011. 1 believe him to he one of the greatest orators who have neo' lived, Ilut I elefy Mr, 11(gs1's0f. to show whore the Chris - VISA church has b10311ed the Wheels 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 boy. IIe lives in the country and c wants to go to school, and how can w he? Try as hard as the family may, they can just make ends sleet and h no more. But get an education he )1(111. I -ie 1001•]08 on the farm during the 011000er and tenches school dur- ing' the winter. After awhile, by night study, he fits himself for all academy. Ills little savings he hoards like a miser. IIe enters the uuivell.ity, 'Then perhaps he comes up to graduationwith a hacking cough or ruined eyesight and with 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, 611011 We not be willing to pay God back for this education?

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 stronger than precept, Weil. And when they hadeaten enough they lightened the ship and cast out the wheat' into the, sea, and when 11 was day they )(now not the land. But dise'overing a creels with a shore they cueaway the a1101101'5 and, hoisting up the sail, they ran the ship aground, the fore part sticking fast ; but the hinder part Was broken b;y the waves. Tho fact that they aim enough makes us think of the multitudes fed by our Lord, not 200 or 800, but 4,000 and'if,0tli1, and all were filled. The 2,000,000 or 8,000,000 whoHe fed with manna and also with flush in the wilder - nese always had enough. If you have never been 111 a greatstorm at sea, porhs,ps a very little proved to be eno(gh, but we Judge that in this case, although the 2waVos were violent,the ship being o4 towhee,. all could eat 5u(ditinet to nteuris)1 nail streeeetiieet then] for what was before theme42, And 1110 soldier(, co teles : iva5 to kill the (11Rg0ner5 lest tiny of 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 evonl(1 be twilling, if our finances w0111d warrant it, to endow a hos- pital or library or foundling Home to the memory of a dealt Child. 1)o 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.

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 sh see iso bo in mild be peeled and the cores and ds removed. Put them 0s a gran - kettle with a little hot water and 11 tllent until they can be Dimmed ell a straw. Put your glass cans 1 a tin peen or bucket filled with colt] water, allow them to heat slow- ly until boiling, rind keep them 1101 until filled. P11Js will prevent them from crackling when the hot fruit is put in.

POLISIiI D J'UIINITUIt14. Highly milli lied tables end chairs have a way of developing spots of white, especially 1 1 1 Leets y who's a but dish has stood or where hot water has boon spilled, Equal parts of linseed oil and alcohol rubbed on 2111(111 a spot will usually make it Valli/411. Another pian is to cover such a . spot with baking soda ; then hold a heated flatiron close down over the soda, not near enough, however, to injure the varnish. After a little take the iron away and brush on' the soda. In `nest cases the spot will be gone.

A diet of boots is one of the com- monest of last resource foods, and, though it is hard for a well-fed person to imagine that anyone could masticate and digest shoe leather, a PAIR OF LONG SEA -BOOTS will keep a man alive for a fort- night, if he has a little water: Captain Ma11oly, of the foundered steamer Gwailer, and his second milker created a record last year by living for seventeen days on boot - leather and a pint of water a day ea0fch, course, no teeth can tear cow- hide boots ; they have to be cut up and shredded with a knife, and the shreds chewed and swallowed. Boil- ing, even when possible, does no good at all, but takes from tho boots Whet nourishment they con- tain. A few ounces of leather, be- ing so hard to digest, stays the Stomach for fifteen or twenty hours. The best ]mown and most useful of starvation diets for wrecked or. castaway people, however, is that of barnacles ; and if anything of the kind happens to you they will probably be your staple food. Bar- nacles are long, lough, half shell- fish, half vegetable creatures that grow on the under side of vessels, Three Englishmen and a crew of Lescars, who had been forced to abandon the sailing vessel North Star a few months ago, kept them- selves going for over a week on barnacles,'and only two of the crew died.
