But though JeFins Christ is dying
upon the cross as a common crim-
inal there is one vivid disLinetion
which, singles los denth out, frorn
nmong all the crocinxions. That ex-
eeption is the style 01 1)110 superscrin-
Sion nailed cibove the cross. It was
eustomary among the Jews to Place
above the heacls of the dying a writ-
ten Statement descriptive of the
e1l1ne9 for which they were 'being
exee.uted. But instead of declaring
that ,lesus Christ was dying an
ignornioloas (loath for the sin of mur-
der, or of biasPhemsa or of insurrec-
tion against the throne of Cacenr,
the board over the head of Christ
had written upon It; in three different'
languages this one striking Sent-
ence: "This is the Xing of the

have so ordered events that the very
man who condemned him to death

as a babe in asetblehem of Judaea,
for which he lived as 10 boy in Naz-
areth, and for which be died npon

SALVATION OF MEN. •
But though tho superscription over
the cross had the sentence, "This is
the lning of the Jews," written in
tho Greek language, there 010 thous'.
01188 and tens of thourarals of infi-
del scoffers who eontinually sneer at
Christ's mune and at the word of
God. They pretend to think that
the religion of the Lord Jesus never
appeals to the brain. They tissert
that the gospel is only a relic of 1110
superstitious coul barbaric ages fit
only for shallow, effeminate men,
sentimental women and lock child-
ren. They assert. that, the Bread of
1,80 ls only fit for the one purpose of
being rolled up into 5m011 1 harmless
pellets to be fed to invalids to calm
their nerves when they are very sick
or hopelessly dying. These scoffing
isinclels seem able to study every sci-
ence and law, calmly and deliberately
and intelligently, and yet are not
able to intelligently investigate the
religion of the Lord Jesus Christ
lf the Bible does not satisfy tlie
iptellect how can You account, for
the fact that It has commantled the
admiration of the greatest thinkers
• of the ages? If this book, which ac -
eliding Christ, does not bear the in-
vestigation of tho mind, how was it
that Sir William Jones, the greatest

Seep() the First.—I was standing in
a darl; Roman dungeon excavated un-
der another dungeon. It is coaled
Paul's dungeon. There is a little
bote in the roof about two feet
square. Through this little aperture
the prisoner used to be lowered by
ropes. Riveted anto tho stone wall
" was an it•on ring, to which the help-
less 010(1)11 (10111d be chained. The
walls of that dungeon, even on -that
hot summer day, were damp and
cold, As X stood there I wanted to
place myself as nectely as possible in
Paul's position. X bade my• guide
leave me and take away the light. if
wanted to be alone. As the guide
left the loneliness became appalling.
Even the echoes of the departing
footsteps seemed to make those
prison walls the more awfully and
and hopelessly, gruesome. As the
light disappeared the darkness rushed
in and eeemed to press rny eyeballs
like Irving coals of fire into my
throbbing brain. Then hi imagines
tion I thought I could see er;otiehing
by the, Iron ring riveted into the
wall a little old Jew. His shriveled
limbs were drawn up by rheumatism,
the result of his prison confinements.
Bis weak eyes were now straining
themselves to catch a glimpee of the
executioner, who came nearer and
nearer to the aperture above, as my
guide with ,the lantern appronehed
the hole. Then in imagination as
my guide spoke I seemed to hear the
esseeutioner call mit in a, harsh, critel
voice : "Paul,. Paul, (03110 up I

Itildianites into their hands lest Is-

Gideon, the son of Joash the A'biez-
ritC, W115 0113 of those whom Cod
raised up to deliver Israel from her
oppressors. The story is found in
chapter vi, 11-16, where we learn his
own estimate of himself and see his
strength, in these words from the
Lord: "0 in this thy might. Move
not I sent thee? Surely I will be
with thee," Then in chapter vi, 84,
NVO leen 111 the revised version mar-
gin that the Spirit clothed Himself
with Gideon, so that whatever WaS
done was by the Spirit through Gicl-
eon. The Lora alone must be ex-
alted, end no flesh may glory in His
presonce (Ise. 11, 17; xlii, 8; :chill,

21).

By this proclamation the Lord
would test and sift Gideon's army
of ,S2,000 men, and it must have
been greatly to Oisicon's nmazement
when 22,000 cowards returned home.
Can it be possIble that among the
professed followers of Christ to-de.y
two-thirds or more are cowards,
afraid to confess Him before the
York', afraid to acknowledge their
firm faith In IIis promises, afraid
to follow Him fully, afraid of the
cost of being whole hearted disci-

LASCAR IECULIARITIES.
Captain of the "Quito" Tells
About Some Queer Ways.
When the big Scotch steamer Quito
was al Ladysmith, 13.C., a reporter
115,11 an interesting chat with Criptain
fahotten, in which some very inter-
esting infermalion eoneerning the
. natural history of the lascars em-
PloYed aboard that ship wits gleaned.
.1.111085 coolies were taken ebOard
wiwn the Quito took the big cargo of
. grain to Calcutta a year or two ago,
• to the order of the Britieh Govern-
ment, foe the relief of the famine -
stricken regions of India. They are
all Mohammedans, and the rules of
caste are siricily observed aboard
ship. Thsir food is almost exclusive-
ly currlo and rice, They would ra-
ther starve to death than eat meat
which had been killed by unbelievers;
but 111 a sheep were handed over to
them they would gloats, partake
after killing and dressiog the animal
themselves'.
It is hard to tell a coolie's age,
but it will hardly be believed that
several of the lot aboard the Quito
are eighty years of age. They cer-
, tainly do not look it, aud they do
!their 'day's dreg as w -ell as the
others, though (bat is not saying
'much, as 0110 White 1111111 15 as good
as half a dozen lascars.
1 LIKE ALL 11101TAMMEDANS
these sailors are fatalists. and the
captain has had some Strange ex-
periences with thern.
1 One of them Will come to him. at

: And in spite of everything that can
be done he will die at, the time lie
seys ; simply "dwindling" away ;
nouriehment or medicine having no
effect a.t. all.
At first this suicide -by -contract
:worried Captain Shotten, but nfter
a while he got used to it, end when
10110 of the doomed informed him that
his Unto had come, he just told him
to go ahead and yield up the ghost
according to progrounnie. There is
I no other wily. .Thoy like to be pet-
