no. I would no more expect you to

promising positions than you would
expect to find your pastor there. But
beware of tho insidious beginnings.
Beware of wagering the box of
candy upon the game of tennis or
quoi.Ls which is played in the hotel
grounds. Beware of belting the
penny upon the simple game which
is played upon the hotel porch. In
other worrls, beware of taking your

SABBATE DESECRATION.
But, my hearers, before we sever -
ate for the summer, a1'yout• pastor
I would like to ask you another
question: What do you expect to
do tvheu you aero in the country?
Now aro you going to spend that
vacation? You have been working
hard during your life. 'In one souse
you have destroyed your ability to
play. Therefore whorl you go •to
the country and do not know what
to do tentptations will there assail
you which would never tempt, you
when you aro at dome and at work.
Now, the purpose of this sermon is
not to talk of libertines and loafers
and dead beats. It is not to up -
raid the social outcasts and the sin-
ful vampires who its hu;nlan leeches
try in suck the life's blood out of
their fellow men at the Kummer Iva-
tering places. That class of people
are not those whom I want to talk
to now, But I would to -day, as a
pastor, earnestly and prayerfully,
give a fele words of practical ad-
vice to hard worsting people 1v110

"NChat do you 111,0011 by such a

Sabbath desecration is the keynote,

How? In all probability you' s11111 -

day afternoon, Now uvi11 you spend
your First day in the country? Will
you do it with prayer and cOne-

your children to the Sunday school
and joining the OhrisLlan workers
of that neighborhood, in public tvor-
511ip within the four walls of the
little village church, or will you do
it by coming down in your (ish(ng

THE S. S. LESSON.
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
JULY 12.
Text of the Lesson, I. Sam. x.
17-2'7. Golden Text, Isa.
xxx111., 22.
1'7. And Samuel called the people
together unto the Lord to Mivpeh.
The people persisting in dommanding
a king that they might be like other
nations, (loci selected the man and
brought hint to Samuel in a remark-
able way, and Samuel, himself en-
tertained him and kept him over
night, atlointed him tho next morn-
ing and sent ilim on his way. This
lesson tolls of the Lord's public elec-
tion of him to be Israel's king. The
story of holy God led him. to Samu-
el, as recorded in chapter ix., is one
of the most interesting of all Bible
stories, The weary, disappointed,
hungry man going to the prophet to
inquire about the lost asses and
finding an unexpected welcome and
feast and communion and rest for
body and mind and then to bo told
that he was chosen to be a king—
who over beard of such surprises?
And yet it is all a foreshadowing of
tho way by which every child of
God is led in unexpected ways to
share with Christ leis glory.
18, 1.41. 'Ye have this day rejected
your God, who Tlinntself saved you
out of all your adve'se•ies and your
tribulations, and ye have said unto
iBm, Nay, but set a king over us.
'They aro reminded of all the Lord
had done for them in the great de-
liverance .. fronn Egypt and in bus
wondrous care of them and are told
plainly that their present conduct is
a deliberate rejection of 11im not-
withstanding all that Ito had done.
It Was only a short time before the
events of our lesson that they were
gathered at this same lklizpeln en-
treating Samuel to cease not to my
unto the Lord for tient that Ile
would deliver then from the Philis-
tines, and, being delivered, they sot
up the Ebenezer steno, ' saying,
"I3iltherto hath tete Lord helped us"
(chapter vii., 5, 12).
20-22. When they sought him, he
could not bo found. Therefore they
inquired of 111e Lord further if the
man should ,vet come thither, and
the Lord answ3r•ed, Behold, lm Isatin
11158 himself among the (111(11.
A11 Israel presented th001501ves be-
fore tho Lord by their tribes, and
the lot was cast for tho tribe and
for the fanlly and for the 41x1, with
the result that Saul, the son of ICis11,
of 1,110 tribe ot Benjamin, was chos-
en. But he could not bo found. God
knew the kind of man whom they
world like, and let was going to
givo them a man after their own
heart, and now Ile guided the lot to
bring him beforo thein, for "tete lot
is (met into the lap, but the Whole
disposing thereof is Of the Lord"
(Prov, xvie 313). 7a01 knew through
Samuel that God bad selected hila
(ea, 1), and, knowing this, it was a.
becoming thing not to put himself
forward, but lot all sou that he had
no hand in the election,

IIOONESTY TOWARD CIUILBREN.
All the best and kindest mother
can do for her children is to rear
them up in the love of God and man,

IMPORTANCE Ole NEATNESS.
Neatness is a goon thing for a girl,
and if she dons not lean ,it when she
is young she never will. It takes a
great deal more neatness to make a
girl look well than it does to make
a boy appear passable; not because
a. boy, to start with, is better look-
ing titan a girl, but his clothes are
of a different sort—not so many col-
ors fu them -aid people seldom ex-
pect a boy to look so pretty as a
girl.
A girl who is not neatly 'dressed is
called a sloven and no ono likes to
look at her. I3er face may be pret-
ty, her eyes bright, but if thele is a
spot of dirt on her cheek, and her
finger enols are black with ink and
her shoes are not laced o' buttoned
up, and apron is dirty and her col-
lar is unbuttoned, and leer skirt is
frayed she cannot be lilted.
Learn to be neat, and when you
have learned it, your appearance
will, so to speak, take care of it-

Curiae examination of radium and
other phenomena leads Prof. Lodge
and his associates to believe that
matter is not stable in its atoms,
as heretofore sepposed. Every-
body is familiar with the disintegra-
tion of matter, which means a re-
arrangement or recombination of the
elements. Thus water may be sep-
arated into oxygen and hydrogen,
but it never before was imagined
that the atoms themselves were cap-
able of disintegration.
Prof. Lodge suggests that this is
a notable process of 11 1.11.100, yet it
is proceeding at a rale 00 slow that
it baffles the powers of conception of
the human mind to estimate the
length of time required. In radium
alone it proceeds so rapidly that the

and eontinuolusly disengaged heat
so rapidly that it affected photo-
graphic plates, even through opaque
bodies, It discharged electroscope
when merely brought in its vicinity
and gave off einanationa similar to
itself in constant, oven violent,
streams of radiation. In other
words, the 150,000 ions, which com-
posed each atom of radium, rotated
so violently that they flew apart
into original units. It has been
