Miller. Prayer, • Send down Thy Holy Spirit on Thy people, Lora, renewing in us the desire of beariug witness to Thy mercy in the good news of our Lord and Saviour, Josue Christ. Let un not fall into that eddy of luke-warm carelessness which affronts Thy argeucy of love and cell; but give us the delight and power of service, growing out of our experience of joyful life with Thee. Make ue wise to knone our opportunities, courageous to venture, proof, by Thy indwelling, against disappointment, scorn or delay. Hear Thou especially our petitions for those whom Thou hest given us in ties of kindred or affection, who have not yet learned the folly of the selfish life or come Path into the liberty -where- with Christ makes man free. Declare Thyself to men, 0 Lord. Send forth lab- orers into Thy vineyard. Give xis our part and joy and let Thy kingdom come. Amen.—Selected. Sheep. (II. T. Miller). The Lordai people are sheep, not goats. How the transformation was effected we don't know. By what law they were were chosen, called, separated, endowed, defended, we am utterly ignorant. Some are taken from the clung -hill and set am- ong the princes, the well -favored are sent empty away. High things are hid- den from the wise aud prudent and. re- vealed unto babes. "Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight." If the Master was submissive to Divine decrees, and won the higheat place in the rank of humility, surely His follow - ors, may climb a few steps in this more than marble temple. To the Degenerate the word comes, "Blessed aro your eyes for they see, and yom cars for they hear." The laweef compensation obtains here, and it is a pleasing study. As soon as the visual powers expand in one direc- tion, they become eclipsed in the other. As soon as the delicate vibrations make celestial music on the one hand, the ear ia made stone deaf on the other. Evan- gelists never tire in telling of the en- lightening power of the Holy Ghost, but they are toady in telling of His blinding deafening power. But this is true! Go through the whole range of history. Thieves and rob - leers abounded; they sang; they enticed; they spread their lures; but obstructing force was to the fore every time. "The sheep did not hear them." Go to a fac- tory in East Hamilton. A hundred men are at work on one floor. Eighty- nine of these are profetne,athey crack dirty jokes in the dinner hour. The other eleven are there; they are divinely deaf. "The sheep did not heeir them." Talk of missions to the heathen! After the fair, tho angel steno- graphers gave in their report, the crowd shouted, "Hooray." Suggestive sounds and songs, went with the music. Thoughts from beneath trembled through the arena of the soul, but, "the sheep did not hear them." "Who is blind but my servant is deaf as my mes- senger that 1 send, who is blind as he that is at peace with Me, and blind as the Lord's servant?" Isa. xlii. 10. Lowliness of mind is endowed with many charms. "I am meek and lowly in heart." lie shares in this grace with His people. The horse is proud, the ox is strong, but sheep are lowly. Go through the domain of the soul, look at the beautiful plantations, shrubs, sap - tinge, each one of the Lord's right hand planting, planted by Himself and not. another witb Him. .All alone. If wo were on hand, we were counted a hindrance. Go i'trough your own personal history, you gather this fact, you gave Him no help. He dia it all alonel sowing the, seeds of humility, watering the plants of humility, how slow, how patient, how faithful! The last devil that is driven out of many a soul—is pride, let it go, it is a blemisla it is' a nuisance, let it go to its own place, let it tumble into the bottomlese e. ° What is Eternal Life? Eternal life is a Nava possession. This is eternal life, the knowledge of God and humanity fts revealed in elitist. John does not represent the deeper teaching of his master when be trans- lates the meaning of life and death, so far no they concerti mankind, out of the physical into the spiritual. "We knoev that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren." Areording to the profound and beautiful old man who wrote these words, mere existenee is not life, nor is the mere extinction of the body, its eeduction to the elements of earth and air, death. Life is existence, plus supreme quality; and death is existence, minus that Here is John, true to Christ, when all others forsook Hint and fled, follow. ing him into the Nowt of the high priest, watebing Hint with- 'unutterable sym- pathy, accompanying Ilis throogh Iiis moelcery and shame with inexpressiale love, going with ITim to a place of erucifixion, and receiving, its be stood there, from the supreme Sufferer, the last message of care for the beautiful mother, and from that hour adding the august responsibility to the peivilegee of his Iliseipleship.

Avyhow, I don't see what difference it makes." 'Well, I do, then. By ea means, have Erna sing. I hope she sings well enough to follow Gertrude," said the duchess, anxiously. "Erna does everything better than anybody else. For my part, I don't be- lieve she would consent to sing after Gertrude if she were not sure •of what she could do.

' "She must have one of your gowns,l Violet. Let her have her choice." "I will, mamma, but I won't promise she will wear it. She is awfully inde- pendent, and she may not like the sug- gestion, even." - • "Well, do the best you can. She is your friend, and 1 wish her to appear to the best advantag,e.. Your father tells me that the Marquis of Melrose has been asking very particularly about her. It would be a great thing for a poor girl to win lam for a husband," "Oh, mamma! that old wretch!" "A marquis with forty thousand a year, and Able to settle ten thousand an his bride! Don't be romantic, my dear. It isn't every girl has such a chance." °Ugh!" murmured Violet, as she hast- ened to Erna's room, "she would not take lam if he had twice as muth.

"Oh, I am se glad!" she eried, enthusi- astically, "that is the most, becoming way to arrange your hair. Did you bring your pink silk? I am sure you did not, and it is the only gown to wear with your hair like that." Violet was certain the pink silk had not been brought; for it was gaming shabby. But she was very artful tit her own harmless little way. "No, I didn't bring the pink silk," re- plied Erna. "That would Mae done very well at the Court of King Tatters, but not here." "Oh, 1 am so sorry!" cried Violet, and then said, in het most wheedling, tone: "I do wish you would wear a pink silk I have. It is loose for me, and will jest fit you, I am sure. Don't you believe it would, Jeannie?" "It would be exactly the gown for mademoiselle," said the maid, critically. "Will you, let ma get it, Erna, dear?" Erna stared rather fixedly at her for a moment, and Violet expected some ter. rile° response. "Yes, if it fits I'll wear it." "As well to wear a gown .of Violeirs as one bought with his money," thougbt Erna, The pink gown chanced to be one that was a little too large for Violet, and fit- ted Erna to perfection, showing her rounded, perfect figure in all its sym- metrical outline, Iler neck and arms wero more exposed than she had ever had them before, but a glance told her that she need'uot be ashamed of them.

Leidy Violet, however, was la dismay. She had ante:Amami. A triumph for Erna, but not one of this sort, and she WS ready to sink through the ground. Lord Aulany was taken aback more completely than ever before in Ids life. Ile had looked upon Erna as ini some sort a piece of property in which he hed. a nearly exclusive right. He was deeply interested in her in a benevolent sett of way, and within the past few rainuteei had been plonaing for tier future on a seele of generous, not to say extreva- put, magnificence. And now tho hoiden of Aubrey, wbotn' he had relentlessly consigned to a fin- ithing school after rehearsing her mis- deeds toher aunt, bad met him as a woman of the world. who has a score to pay, and has the coin wherewith to pay it. He bit hie lip Dela hardly knew bow to act. Ha could easily have retorted in a way to mortify Erna; but, aside from the fact that he Was 'too much of p. gentlemen to do so, there was a feeling that he would be unable to say nay - thing that she could not answer wit ba wit as biting as his own. He 'turned with a. grave -smile to poor Violet, and raid, as he bowed to her: "We have paid our respects to the queen of beauty; shall we go look at the lawn tennis now?"

Yours must be a splendid ethool for finithing girls. Ernie WM a girl when I last saw her, and a particularly lively, one. She seems to be a woman now.' The earl was altogether too wise to attempt to force himself on Erna in the ?regent° of others; bift he was deter- mined to see her alone, and insist nava an explanation. and he trusted to for. tune to give 11101 the opportunity. A few hours earlier he would have smiled at the notion of watching for an oppor- tunity to talk with Erna; but now he was too earnest to smile, or even wonder at banself. He had cared for her. past, and he had leer future in his charge, and he felt that he could not be treated in such a way at the widen of a silly girl. He would not have believed that it would hurt him so much; but it had hurt him, be- cause as he believed, there was some- thing of ingratitude in what she bad done. He was quite sure that he felt her action very little as a man, but very much as a guardian. It was as a joint guardian that he followed her that evening, just as dusk was falling. She had evidently gone to the drawing -room, which was deserted, to seek a little respite from her social triumphs. It was still light enough to distinguish faces easily, and she recognized hal at once, when she looked up, warned of his approach by his footsteps. He saw her face change, and grow defiant, as if in anticipation of what was to. follow. "I came after yov," he said, something of the sternness of a guardian in his tone,' "in order 'that there might be no unpleasant repetition of the scene of this afternoon." "But," she said, coldly, "there will be a repetition of it. I have no desire to converse with you,..and do not recognize your right to assume such a tone to- ward me.

In the cool spring daYs she had worn a hood That was small mid tight and green; She wore it as long as she possibly could. Till many a bole was seen. Then she sent down word tbrough her stem and mat To the storebouse under ber feet, That she needed at once a bright new hat, With trimmings and all complete.

In a mountain near Montalban, Luzon, there is a large cavern, with many branching chambers, and a central dome 200 feet in height, perforating the mountain top, from which, in December, 1907, Hugh M. Smith saw issue a solid column of bats, which flew rapidly in a straight line for 15 minutes, disappear- ing over a mountain range in the direc- tion of Manila, without a single bat hay- ing left the column. American engineers stationed there told Mr. Smith that the flight of bats had occurred at practically the same time each day during two years. From other sources it was learn-. ed that the phenomenon had been ob- served for at least 30 years. Minard's Liniment Lumberman's Friend, Rays Sterilize Milk. Addressing the French Academy of Sciences, M. Dastre, the eminent pro- fessor of physiology at the Sorbonne, described a new process for the steril- ization of milk by exposing the milk to the ultra -violet rays of a mercury-vapor lamp. A funnel should be tised and the milk slowly poured on its interior sur- face, which is illumined by the rays, as the action is limited to a small radium, The chemical composition of the milk is not affected. ^ BED WE1TINGCure1.25cPk0 fliff C.11.
