MENT.
in connectionwith the Danadian Nat -
Inept Missionary Congress, it is inter-
esting to nota, that for the year 1908,
the contribution of ohnrohee in the
United States and Canada to home
and foreign nitration" increased About
$600,000 notwithstanding the Ansa -
Dial depreaston in both countries, and
it is conceded an all 'idea that this in- �
crease 1s due to the Leymen'e Minton
cry Movement, The Baptist Churohes
of Toronto in an effort to raise their
share at what Toronto Churches are
aiming at, succeeded in raising ten per
°out, more than the total amount ask-
ed for, and seoured 455,000, instead of
$50,000.
Sir Andrew Fraser, Lieutenant -Gov-
ernor ot Bengal, is coming to [Canada

The Seoretary of the Executive Com.

Pape's Diap colts only 50 Dente

There is nothing else better to take
Gas from Stomach and cleanse the

When Diapopein works your Stomach

Tell your druggist that you want
Pape'a Diapepsin, because you want to

THE MOTHER AND THE CHURCH
In one of the Toronto ohnrohee last
week there was a woman's eoolat meet-
ing, and the paster, in annonnoing the
affair from the pulpit, maid that he hop-
ed no woman in the congregation would
remain away because --she could not
leave home on account of the baby.
"Don't leave the baby," he said.
"Bring the baby. We want mother'
here with their babies—the more of
them the better. The Other women will
not objeot, and if any of them should,
it will make no difference."
This was very Well, and many heard
the announcement with approval. Bat
in a Roman Catholic church in Phila-
delphia on the stone day the priest an-
nountred a Woman'' meeting in tetras
that event even ttirther. °
"To thio meeting he said, "nd °wo•

sion."

PxrmLIP AND THE ETHIOPIAN,—Acta
viii:26.40.
Gotten "Text—Ye search the Scrip-
tures because ye think that in them
ye have eternal life; and these are
they which bear witness of me,—John
v:39,
Verse 26—When God directs no by
eironmstanoes or by a friend, or by an
angel, is it juet as mnoh from God as
though ho apake to us direot?
I do not know whether this angel
was a devout man, or woman, or a
mental picture, or a dream, or a
spirit; but he, she or it, eonvineed
Philip, that God wanted him to go
south; now how did Philip know
that the impression to go south was
of God; and how may we know in
similar circumstances? (This ques-
tion must be answered in writing
by members of the club.)
May any person who is not playing
double with God, safely trust "the in-
ward voice," to direct as to outward
oiroumstanoes?
Verses 27, 88—Philip found that he
had not come on a fool's errand; now
is it not invariably so, that results of to.
morrow, always justify the faith visione
of to -day?
Seeing this Etheopiaa was a man of
exalted position, in a foreign country,
what was the significance of Philip be-
ing sent to him?
Verse 29 -When Philip saw this
man's chariot looming np in the dig-
tanoe, perhaps after days or weeks of
waiting, with more or less doubt; he
got the impression that this was hie
opportunity; now from whom did he
get the impression?
With what sort of a voice did the
Holy Splrit.speek to Philip?
If we should learn that the Holy
Spirit need the circumstances, and
Philip's reasoning prooessee, his hope
and his fears, as God's voice, would
that be as really the voice of the Holy
Spirit, as if words were spoken by Gad
out of the clouds?
Is it always safe for ue to do as the
Holy Spirit tells ne, at in thio ease?
Verse 30—Was tine Ethopiau a devent
man?
If a man devoutly searches, the Scrip-
tures is he sure to find God?
If a man devontly aearohes the book
Of nature, with a desire to obey her
laws, le he sure to find God?
Verses 31.84 ---Where in the Bible is
the passage which the Ethiopian was
reading?
Is it always necessary that some
one should explain the Scriptures to
us?
Oen we understand the Scriptures or
get the full purport of any fact, without
the aid of the Holy Spirit?
Why could not or why did not, the
Holy Spirit explain this Soripture, to
the Ethiopian direst?
As a matter of faot was not the Holy
Spirit guiding the Ethiopian at rands as
he was Philip?
Wise Isaiah oonsoions when he wrote
these words that they applied to Jeans;
or did he think that he way describing
some other person or persons?
Did not the prophets, as other inspir-
ed men, often write more, wisely than
they knew?
Verses 35.88—Did this Ethicipian need
"converting" , the same as a wilful
sinner, or did he, as a devout child of
God, simply recognize Jesus as the sent
of God, and was then baptized in his
name?
Verses 99, 40—Was Philip, se to speak
"spirited" away, or did he leave in a
natural manner?

A ROYAL FUNERAL,.
strange Ceremonies That Marko the
LIuriv:( of a +ponith King.
Strange and almost weird is the cer-
emonial which accompanies the burial
of Spanish hint, -s, The pantheon, or,
royal tomb, Is ut tbo palace of the
Escurial, situated 3,000 feet above the
level of the sea and come distance
from the capital. Only kluge, queens
and mothers of (rings are buried tbere,
the coffins of the kings lying on one
side, those of the queens on the other.
After lying in state for several days
in the throne room in Madrid art enor-
mous procession is formed, accompany-
ing the body to the Escurial. A Ludt
is made an the way, and the corpse
rests there for one night.
In the morning the lord high cham-
berlain stands at the side of the coffin
and Says in loud tones, "Is your majes-
ty pleased to proceed on your jour-
ney?" After a short silence the pro-
cession moves on and winds up to the
grand portal of the palace. These
doors are never opened except to ad-
mit a royal personage, dead or alive.
When the casket containing the re.
mains is at last placed in the vault
the chamberlain unlocks it and, kneel-
ing down, calls with a loud voice;
"Senor! Senor! Senora"
After a solemn pa=use ho cries again:
"Elia majesty does not reply! Then it
is true, the king is deadl"
Re then locks the coffin, gives the
key to the prior and, taking his staff
of office, breaks it in pieces and flings
them at the casket. The booming of
the guns and the tolling of bells an-
nounce to the nation that the king bas
gone to his final resting place.
QUEER TELEGRAPH POLES.
Made of Adobe in Bolivia—Growing
Trees Used in Africa.
The most original telegraph line in
the world once extended from the cap-
ital of Bolivia, La Paz, to the town of
Oruro. In this part of Bolivia there
are no growing trees, and wood is so
difficult to find that even the `ordinary
household furniture of the natives is
invariably made not of wood, but of
dried mud or adobe.
So when the war broke out between
Chile and Bolivia and a telegraph line
became urgent it was adobe that was
chosen for the queerest telegraph poles
in existence. These pillars were built
on stone foundations and measured
about five feet square at the base, with
a height of about fifteen feet.
They were placed at intervals of
about 361 feet and thus held the wire
at a height sufficient to clear the only
animals of the country, the llama and
the donkey. The total length of the
line was 156 miles.
Among other curious telegraph lines
is the growing pole line erected in
Uganda by an English engineer, who
could not find any dead wood which
would withstand the white ants and
hit upon the idea of transporting grow-
ing bark cloth trees to the side of the
roads and using them as poles.
In the Dutch East Indies growing
trees are turned to account also, but
there a wire is stretched across the
road between the trees on either side,
and the insulator is suspended in its
middle, and the line is thus over the
road and clear from vegetation.
Watch Springs.
The watch carried by the average
man is composed of ninety-eight pieces,
and its manufacture embraces more
than 2,000 distinct and separate opera-
tions.
Hairspring wire weighs one -twenti-
eth of a grain to the inch. One mile of
wire weighs less than half a pound.
The balance gives five vibrations ev-
ery second, 200 every minute, 18,000
every hour, 432,000 every day and 157,-
680,000 every year,
The value of springs when finished
and placed in watches is enormous in
proportion to the material from which
they are made. A, ton of steel made up
into hairsprings when in watches la
worth more than twelve and one-half
times the value of the same weight in
pure gold.
How Ho Managed it.
The bishop of Richmond 'told a good
story about his father. "He was a
farmer," said Dr. Pulleine, "and a nice
old gentleman too: One year he took it
Tato his head to grow flax, so he sowed
the seed and, having a good crop, sent
it away to be made into a tablecloth.
Some time later when seated at dinner
he remarked to a lady near him, 'Do
you know, I grew this tablecloth my.
seltl' 'Did you really?' she answered,
with the greatest surprise. 'Hnwevelf
did you manage it?' 'Well,' most mys-
teriously, 'if you'll promise not to tela
any one 1,11 tell you. I --planted u nap-
kin.' "--London mast.
