The Omnipresence of Ced.
It has .been well said that there is no
pert of the 11ib1e in which the great at-
tributes of God -His omniscience, Ills
omnipresence and lIis emli0otene1---are
i,'.er1 with such impressive splendor es.
1n l'sal m137. It is the utterance of a del
rout and reverent and noble soul, aver
and humbled by the thought of Ono
whose knowledge embraces the whole de-
tails, and before whose all ,ageing. eye the
secret things of life are ranked and open,
II10 mind is overwhelmed at thethought
of the divine omnipresence, sothat His
presence and power are felt in the ut•
ferniest reaches of infinite space as well
ss near at laird. It is no local or tribal
deity that rises before the mind of the
1' s1o:ist, but. One -who is all kuowni„
every vl rte present, and all powerful, the
great Fir•.st:Canso, ::1110, eoergi lug rind

And it is no Parthehetie. ennception of
God that we find in this psalm. Godis
imminent in the universe,. but IIe al so
transcends it. The personality of God
as distinct from all created things end
Ai distinct front all human personalities
is clearly stated.
To us children of 00 hour, living our
little round and with our narrowed range
of vision, this conception of the divine
onnlhprclsence is 'one at once to awe and
inspire. The thought that Cod is every-
where,
veryinhere, and that nothing can separate
us from His love and protecting care is
a precious thought to the one who loos
learned to know Rini in Jesus Christ as
the Father of infinite and unchanging
love, Hy sea or by land, in sunshine or
in storm, amid all the varied experiences
of life, we know that IIe is near, and
our hearts are made glad and brave and
strong. Distance from home and friends
e armee separate as. and no dark cloud
of trouble can hide us front the sunshine
of His presence. The divine omnipresence
is more than a metaphysical euneeption t
it is n blessed practical reality, full of
comfort and cheer to those who hue
learned that at the heart of all things,
controlling and energizing all things, and
present in every part, there is one to
whoto looktrust
i wo oar np with loving
and call our Father.
But there is another aide of the shield.
The truth that is full of comfort to the
one who is seeking to bring hie will in-
to harmony with the divine will, is full
of terror to the ono whose life ie in an.
ta'gonisrn to the great law of righteous•
nese, and in 1511000 deepest heart there
is the sense of guilt and unforgiven sin.
It is a commonplace and yet an impor-
tant thought that a man, go whore he
will, can never get away from himself
or from God. The guilty Hain flees from
the presence of his fellows and seeks
to bury himself out of the sight of yeal
who know' him, but many a turn has re-
alized in his own bitter experience the
truth of the Psalmist's words: "[f I say.
surely the darkness shall cover me; even

Action of Chemicals- Several of
Larvae Living and Thriving.
Paris, Sept, 30. -Remarkable experi-
ments in chemical developments of life
have been effected by Professor Delage,
of Sobonne. In the laboratory at Iles•
coif, in Brittany, 31. Deluge placed un-
hatched eggs of the 30:5 urehln and star•
fish in sea water, adding a solution of
sugar with a low drops, of nuimonit and
tannin. In about an hour of segmen-
t,ltiou the first sign of life began and
the eggs produced larvae, The Brent ma-
jority soon died, but 31. Delage by cen-
atant all minute cure brought four
sea urchins and two starfish through the
larvae stage. They arc now healthy,
growing sn el:nen. One sea urchin has
six poise of tentacles and six pairs of
slats, whereas those produced naturally
have five. The creatures are still

in 1800 was due to cancer, while in 1005
the ratio had risen to one in 23. This
Increase, Dr. Adams finds, was almost

"It was found," says Dr. Adams, "that
the nation; showing higher mortality

these preserved meat foods are eaten to
a certain extent in their own countries,
