Hear this prayer -which we offer in the prevailing name of Jesus, our great high priest. Amen. Take Time. And in the life of the individual, also, there is no chance. Saints do not spring from apiritual chaos. Conversion is no lucky chance. The fulness of the Spirit does not happen to the man that seeks it not. The prodigal finds his father only when he starts for home. The tongues of fire came upon men who were peeking for all God had for them, end 'IMOD them alone. If we want the gift of God we must take time to seek it. If we are too busy to pray, we will be too noisy to be useful. If we have no time to talk with Cod, we will drift through life devoid of pawer. There is no way by which we can atone for this affront to God.

Prayer. God hath made of one blood. all nations of men to dwell upon the face of the whole earth. Thou art the maker of us all, Thou mighty God. Behold we are the workmanship of Thy hand, we are the fashioned ones of Tny skill and wisdom. Thou didst make man in Thine own image and. likeness in the image and likeness of God didst Thou make man. If we have not recognized that image it is because sve have lost it ourselves. When Thou, 0 Cluiat, Son of Man, dost dwell in us, then we shall see in every other man a brother, a friend, and yearn over thoae that are far away with tender solicitude, akin to the pity of the Cross. This is the miracle of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Son of Man, Son of Mary, the Wonder- ful One, whose name cannot be sound- ed as so its WiSdOal. We bless Thee if we know aught of true love of man- kind; wherein our solfislme,ss has been modified, wherein it has been almost destroyed we see the supreme miracle of grace. Mighty One, continue the outworking of this wonder, until we shall recognize unity in diversity, until distance is morally destroyed; and un- til the nations fall into each other's embrace by the impulse and inspiration of brotherhood. Break •down all middle walls of partition; take away everything that mairee man hostile io man; bring in the Sabbath of universal peace, and thus perform the crowning miracle of th, Cross. „Amen, Yield to God. No man ean be at his best until he yields. His natural impulse is to fight God and to seek sin, in rebellion against God's loving call to turn from sin. If God at such times yielded to the man, and did what the man would like, God would leave him alone to in unreatraia- ed. But God never abandons His chil- dren that way. He stays close by, He speaks, He urgos with loving insistence that His child shall listen, and consider, and come up to the higher plane of duty and righteousness where God means to have him life. It is a life-and-deittli struggle; death if the man succeeds in resisting God; life if he gives up the fight and yields to the loving Father who. longs to save Itim. If we have an active, searching, reproving conscience, whith makes wrong -doing a misery, let LIS thank God for this evidence of His love, What a blessing it is hard to do wrongt—Sunday School Time. Salvation Threefold.' (Rev. Wm. Stewart, D. D., in Canadian Be pti st.) Salvation is one of tbe greatest and most comprehensive Words of the New Testament. It ineane dbliverance from sin and tali its eonsegnences. It has a relation to the past, to the present, and to the future. Writing to the Corinth- ians about his temporal trials and perse eutions, the Apostle Paul refers to there -under his threefold aspect, when he af- firmed that God delivered him from so great a death, that He dal, deliver, and that He will also still deliver, So it is with the great ealvation. in relation to the past it deals with delleeranee from the penalty of sin, and eaeh believer in Christ ean definitely say, "I have been saved,' Th relation to the present it deals with deliverance from the power of sin, and every Christian eart etty, "I am being saved."

"That law, you honor," answered the foreman of the •jury, "is so old that we decided not to consider it.- It's obsolete." —Chicago Tribune. • SHILOWS Quiets ease for the worst cough—quick relief to the heaviest cold—and SAFE to take, even for it child.

WINDMILL, SIGNALLING. Valuable fer Military Purposes, the Dutch government Has Discovered. To the casual observer viewing a Dutch landscape there is nothing to ar- rest the attention in the fact that pos- sibly one or more out of a dozen wind- mills in sight are to all appearances sim- ply standing idle, while the others con- tinue their never ending task, If one watches the sails of the idle mills closely it may perhaps be noticed that they move slightly from time to time and then remain for a while at a different angle. If this is so the miller is in all probability engaged in holding iazo cn.onversation with the proprietor of the other mill, which may be miles away, in fact, possibly barely visible on the hor- n Quite recently the Dutch GovernMent carried on a series of experiments in or- der to• ascertain the value of windmill signalling for military purposes, and were surprised to find that communica- tion could readily be established with far distant centres and that confidential messages could be sent on from one mill to another and so forwarded throughout the length and breadth of Holland in an incredibly short time by meane of Keret codes known only to the millers them- selves. These codes have been handed down from generation to generation and jean °Italy guarded from outsiders with all the intense conservatism for which the provincial Dutch are proverbial. Apart, hoWever, from these secret codes, under- - stood only by the millers and local groups of mill owners, there exits series Of windmill signals with which every one of the inleoi;tants of the coun- try districts is familiar. • I 11-)&[11:141111E At times for instaeee, a mil may etop working suddenly and the miller be seen to come out and with the aid of a long pole with an iron hook at the end, like a gigantic boathook, roach up and drag down the descending sail until the arms assume a certain position. Every one knows immediately that some accident has happened to the wooden machinery of the mill, and that the services of the local carpenter are required.—From the Windsor Magazine. — Red, Itching, Skin —chapped hands—blotches on the face —scalp irritation—all are cured by Minard's Liniment Co., Limited: Sirs,—I have used your MINARD'S LINIMENT for the past 25 years and whilst I have occasionally used other liniments I can safely say that I have never used any equal to yours.

LESLIE. The Parish Minister and His Beadle. ."John," said a homely old parish min- ister to his beadle as he was being as- eistecl into the gown by that indispensa- ble functionary in the vestry one Sab- bath morning before entering the pul- pit, "I don't know how I'm to get through with the service this morning. I have come away from the manse and forgot my snuff-box." "Guideake, sir, that's a peety," said John, with a deep sympathy in his voices "losh, bide a minute till I see gin I canna get as muckle's pit ye owre till the afternoon," and John disappeared, returning a few minutes with a curious compound in it piece of brown paper, which he carried in his hand. "Where did you get this?" said the minister, eyeing the paper sus- piciously, yet snuffing up a large pinch with a sigh of intense satisfaction. "Oo, I just got it," said John, evading the question. "But who gave you it? Where did you get it, John?" "Weel, sir," re- turned the beadle, sturdily, "I jist scrap - it .n.ff the flair o' the pulpit," and he marehed into_ the church with the 1:11- ble, thus cutting short any rebuke that might have been administered, and com- pelling the minister to follow at his heels, as the .ellatOM was Minard's Liniment Cures Colds, etc. 4 • IV Booth and Rosebery.

A good amusement for a young folks' party is the "package game," says the Washington Star. After the children are assembled each 0116 15 given a large neatly wrapped package. Of course it is address- ed to him or her to whom it is handed. The receiver opens it eagerly, only to. find that inside is another wrapping ad- dressed to another member of the party. This causes much fun in the exchange, and in the surprise. As many wrap- pings may be inside as the hostess cares to have, but in the last is a little 'gift appropriate to the real recipient. Each wrapper bears a new name. = Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper. t - Without Prejudice.

"I can readily understand that your tether would prefer Venice with its gondolas and St. Mark's and Venice, Angelos—" "Oh, no," said the young lady; "it . wasn't that.

During a recent run of the Essex and Suffolk foxhounds the good coople of Wives - hoe had the novel experience of seeing their town invaded by hounds and huntsmen and of looking on at the death of reynard in one of their streets. It is not long since the New Cut was the scene of an even more startling incident. when a full grown fax suddenly appeared trotting along the middle of the street when marketing was at its busiest. To a man every coster deserted his barrow and with. cries of "Tally -ho!" joined the chase. Dash- ing towards Blackfriars road the fox soon doubled. and darting under a fruiterer's bar- row sought refuge in a wheelwright's yard, where he was found firmly wedged in the spokes of a cartwheel and carried off in triumph by a second hand furniture dealer. A fox was recently chased by the Belvoir hounds into Aslackby village and went to ground in the churchyard; another sought refuge on the housetops in Hullavingten village and was dislodged by means of a ladder, while still another was killed in the aiennicneg o lf,341 G aMiu er tf 0 rIgeurry, .r e;oi for North Ducicof W.s.—Westminster Gazette.
