not the Lord. supply the vessels as he did

who think it cnpples their faith to
help themselves should remember that
the perget opposite is the case. She was
to do her part as well as ehpect the
Lord to do his. Only thus it is possible
for the full blessing to come. Praying

a bird ; only with both. can one ascend
toward heaven and God."

"Pray to thy Father wheat is in secret,
and the Fattier .... shall reward thee

the secret of the soul, come the sweetest
disclosures of God, and. the deepest
draughts from the "a'ountain eta Life."
The Holy Ghost came ia the upper room.
Eis power was manifested to the won-
dering and awakened throng in the
streets of Jerusalem. The fiery tongues
were given in private, but they spice in
public. Others leelpea in securing the
blessing by lending for its reception. We
are helpers of each other's joy and shar.
ers of each other's BOTTOM'S. "Bear ye
one another's burdens;" this "fulfils the
law of Christ." "Even as Christ pleas-
ed not himself." Been the weakest are
necessary. All are needed. by each one.
"The eye cannot say to the hand, I have
no need of thee; nor the head to the
feet, I have no need of you."
Gratitude expressed. "Then she mune
and told the man of God." Perhaps for
inquiry, but more probably for the ex-
pression of thankfulness. We are re-
minded of an incident of later date when,
as now, the recipients of great blessings
with one solitary exception, went their
way,- helped and healed, but voicing no
praise and giving no expression of thank-
fulness. One turned back„ and with a
loud voice gave glory to God, but Jesus
said, "Where are the 'nine ?" The very
abundance of blessing tends often. to in-
difference and. ingratitude. The duty
of grateful and open recognition of nene-
fits bestowed is alike the injunction of
scripture and enlightened reason. God's
ancient people were enjoined to mark by
permanent ,memorials the places signal-
ized and sacred because of divine deliv-
erances. The stones from the bed of the
parted. Jordan marked for generations
the place of the passage. Along the
path of life there should be many such
places of remembrance and praise. In-
gratitude is the basest of crimes; yet
how prone are human hearts thereto.
Years of blessing are buried. in a night
of sorrow, and a day of clouds will
eclipse the'memory of unnumbered days
of sunshine. "Whose offereth praise
glorifieth Tee.'

The great value of Old Testament in-
cidents lies not in their historical corfect-
nese, nor in the displays of miraculoue:
power, but in the comprehensive and
fax -reaching principles of perennial appli-
cation in the succeeding generations of
human history. The lesson records the
first of what may be called the domestic
miracles wrought by Elisha. In the prac-
tical teachings of the lesson we have
Smell possesssions enlarged. The meth-
od of divine operation has always been to
secure increase by the investment of cap-
ital already possessed, rather than by a
direct and miraculous bestowment.
"What hest thou in the house?" We are

Philadelphia., Pa., Oct. 3. -Dr. Eugene
Manning, 50 years old. professor of Ger-
man, in the Central High Sch000l, has
shot and killed himself, in the street. No
cause for his suicide is known.
Prof. Manning telephoned to the po-

ed in Buttonwood street. When the wag-
on reached the place, the body was
found.
The shooting was done in a most sen-
sational manner, Professor Manning
standing on the corner of Seventh and
Wood streets, and firing the pistol with-
in sight of a number of pedestrians. None
of the latter was near enough to the
educator to prevent the suicide.

and discovered, -that the switch had. been
left open. As the conductor and brake-
man .of the freight on the -siding, and
Engineer Eeron, of the second. freight,
are dead, and his fireman also, there is
little aope of accurately determining
who was responsible for the disaster.
The inquest now stands adjourned until
Monday.
The company's etatement ets follows:
"At 3.15 this morning eastbound
freight train No. 94, engine 975„ Engineer
Heron, in charge of Coriducter A. McDon-
ald, collided with retie end Of eastbound
extra freight, engine No. 723, Engineer
Kirkland, m charge of Conductor Ma,
at Eestwood station, resulting in ;the
death of Conductor nails, Brakeman
Benalict and Engineer Kirkland on the
extra freight, and Engineer Heron on No,
94, Nine freight cars were destroyed.
Auxiliaries from London, and Hamilton
completed clearance of the line at 11 a.
m. Present information indicates that
the accident Wee caused by the switch
at the west end of Eastwood etation be-
ing. left set for the siding, instead of
main line. Responsibility therefor will
be brought out -at ehe investigation,
which is to. be acid oece."
A pathetic story is told of the death
of Engineer Kirkland, of this city. It is
not the engineera duty to clean out the
ash pan, but on Tuesday night, seeing
that his fireman, George Nelligan, was
very tired, he decided to help him out„
and lost his life. With tears in his eyes,
Nelligan told his story to a reporter, "I
was feeling pretty tired," eaid the fire-
man "when I got off the engine to clean
out 'the ash pan. Kirkland on the
right side of the engine, when he saw
me. He immediately hailed me and told
me to stop.

That the switch was open, Was proven
by the fact that the engine of the second
