the revelation just recorded was ghee
to Jilin. The thorn in the flesh was
given to him that he might not be-
COMO undely exalted. Tim scripture
do not explain what the thorn in the
fleet was. It certainly was not an
remaining in him, for he declared re-
peatedly that Chrietians could be
sanctified wholly. Many have thought
it was some physical infirmity, end
numerous ailments bave been auggest-

the thorn in the flesh was the Juae-

work in an effort to overthrow it. The
thorn wee not removed, but a mural-

that he might, be victorious.

L Physical afflicticns.
II. Spiritual ondowmente.
I. Physical afflictions. We have in
this lesson a summary of Paul's tri-
bulations, many or which were occae-
toned by human pervereity and en-
mity. He had been compelled by the
evil things that were said of him to
refer to his own life and to his euf-
ferings for Chriene sake ea self-vinda
cation. His apostolic authority and
consequently the value of his life's
work, the credibility of hie doctrinee
and the soundness of the churches
which he had founded were all at
'stake. This enumeration of hie priva-
tione and afflictione shelve how deep
an impressien they had made upon his
nature. Hie purpote was not his own
eelf-exaltation but the spread of the
gospel and the (salvation of his fellow
men, an object worthy of ell his de-
votion and all his suffering. Almost
inceseant toil had centinued throughed
out long years. The churches were
dear to Paul's heert. All the dissen-
eons, heresies or immoralities that
appeared. feope time to time carried
anguleth to his heart. Paul had to vin-
dicate his claims against the false
teachers who had met with favor in
Corinth and who had transformed
themselves into "ministere of righte-
ousness." He laid great strees upon the
fact that true minters are followers
of Christ. All along- Paul had been
painfully aware that his enemies were
citing his infirmities to his official dis-
paragement. Paul had a profound sense
of hie own unworthinees. He telt that
he owed everything to Jceus and to
him, he yielded all. Never as conse-
• cration more thorough than his. The
long list of- trials, so varied and tre-
mendous, had long since been endured,
but they were tresh in Paul's mind. It
cannot be imagined that vainglory or
self -exaltation prompted him to give
this narration. He had proved that his
own etate of mind had corresponded
with his call to suffer. Since the
opening scene on the way to Damas-
cus a long series of afflictions for the
gospel had passed.
II. Spiritual endowments. Had Paul
expected an earthly recompense, bitter
indeed would have been his disappoint-
ment The power of Christ had beea
imparted to him with such fullness as
to traneform pain into plows -ere, so
far as his spiritual nature wee con-
cerned. Sufficient grace was specially
manifested M the power it had given
him to be patient, forbearing and tum-
ble in his difficulties with the Corinth-
ians. He could submit to haee men
deepise him if he was able to serve
and please his Master. It AVIS enoneh

more strikingly and impressively ex-
hibited. Christ's humiltetion and obe-
dience unto death, in order to secure
man's salvation, came to Paul a source
of greater inspiration bete in eater.
and suffering. Paul's glorying had its
source in his sympathy with hts dit lye
Lord. Paul related not (nay what
Christ promised him, bat whet he
performed, Men treated Paul cruelly,
but God gave him spatial ari t mare el-
ous experiences to entaerage aim in
his arduous la.bore and selferings, and
to quicken hie faith in God. Paul
wee modest about his own experience.
He did not record his heavenly rapture
and what followed it until fourteen
years had paesed. Ills deepest heart
experiences could not be put into
words. They were not designed fqr
the publie. Upon the divine visions
and revelations given to him, Paul, in
great part, rested hie apostolic claim.
He had apecial meson for calling him-
self "a man in Christ." In to doing
he met the question Of how it came to
pass that he wet se highly honored,
It was after Paul had received his ',ta-
loa that he was in spiritual danger.
He knew his peril and acktiowledged
It. He Item that whateeer lifted him
above bis brethren (teen in spiritual
life, was in danger of exalting him
above measure. He Might be tempted
to under -estimate others and to over-
estimate himself. The aefegeard wee
wits provided where it wee most need-
ed. Paul obtained a completely new
view of life ili the view he took of his
affliction and the denial of his request.

to epeak thus for the sate of the
Chrietiane at Corinth who had been
sexed through hie ministry. I am

supposed that he referred to all
Christian churches everywhere, but to
thotte only which he etstablished. 29.

Paris Cable ---The latest news
from the Somme front emphanizer, the
methodical character or the French
offensive. Wise la paet experience,
General Foch leaves nothing to
chance; he initiates no movement
before taking all measures to ensure
its complete execution.
The recent German conuter-attacks,
ecenbined with aeroplane activity on a
Bettie unusual since the beginning of
July, indicate not only the arrival of
icanforcements, but a determination
to cheek at all costs, If possible, the
French tide that is steadily swamping
their fortifications.
Consequently, the. whole German
flout from Guillemont to Soyecourt
was overwhelmed for 72 hours by a
French artillery storm which eyewit-
nesses describe as far surpassing any-
thing hitherto experienced. The bom-
bardment was first ilirected cbiefly
upon a cluster of buttress -like hills,
seamed by steep valleys, north of the
Somme. It spread after 94 hours to
the flatter country south of the river
and along the front from Lihens to
Lassigny (a total distance of 30 miles).
The German trenches were first cut
of from reinforcements or supplies by
the concentration upon communica-
tion trenches, Escape was Impossible,
and the German casualties must have
been exceptionally heavy, because the
trenches were filled with troops
brought up especially for counter-
attacks.
An artillery lieutenant wbo arrived
in Paris on leave this morning gives
• Me the following description of what
he saw from an observation post just
north of Soyecourt:
"I was ordered to watch a eectior.
ot German trench running 801110 350
3ards along the edge of a small covert,
It linked with an extensive trencb
system behind the wood by two coin-
munication trenches whoee position we
knew fairly accurately. On reaching
the post the local commander reported
at least two furl companies of Ger-
mans opposite. His section had been
subjected to a heavy fire and he ex-
pected an attack at nightfall. It was
then about 6 p.m.
"It was a brief but horrible right.
At first there was a series of earth
fountains along the trench line, fol-
lowed by great cones of smoke, which
slowly collected over the wood itself,
until the latter was hidden. Through
glaeses I could see that whole sectors
of trench had closed op, burying the
defenders. Constantly human limbs
and bodies were visible among the
upthrown earth and debris. At in-
tervals a grey -green form would leap
swiftly backward from the trenches,
but the hazard from the incessant rain
of steel fragments was too great, and
gradually there grew a line of mo-
tionless bodies among the brushwood.
I counted thirty-seven after three-
quarters of an hour.
"After eighty minutes 1 signalled,
'Trench demolished,' and the bom-
bardment ceased. I would have defied
anyone to point out where the trench
had been. There was notilleg aut a
line of hollows, hillocks and shell -
holes. As the smoke cleared, I saw
hew excellent had been the aim on
the communication trenches. Two
open roads, each twenty feet wide,
had been blasted through the wood. It
wee only the bodies, lying thick along
both, that showed they had indeed
teen communication trencher,
"I continued • to watch. Here end
there a wounded wretch (Imaged him-
self painfully amid the tree stumps.
Perhaps a few survived in the deepest
dugouts, but as a practical unit the
half battalion had ceased to exist.
And, remem.ber, that was a tiny sector.
Add the total of such eases along the
whole front, and you will realize why
our victory is certain."
FEEDING HUNS.
All Holland's Spare Sup-
plies Diverted From Britain.
New York Report.—A London
cable to the World to -clay says:
Holland has been devoting almost
all of her spare products to feeding
Gerraany.
So the London Morning Post de-
duces from striking figures, drawn
front statistics of the Netherlands'
financial department of export duties,
which it publishes to -day;
"The difference between the figures
for the first six months of 1914'and
1916 is amazing. inbutter Holland's
export to Germany rose from 8,000 be
19,000 tons; cheese, 6,000 to 46,000;co-
ebe powder, 1,000 to 3,000; eggs, 8,000
to 20,000 tons; meat, 6,000 to 40,000
tons, and potato flout from 21,000 to
52,000 tons,
"The exports to Englend in the
same peried are no less remarkable.
The export of butter fell from 3,652
tone to 97 tons; chetee, 0,702 to 668;
cocoa powder, 3,068 to 2,020; eggs, 4,-
591 to 591; meat, 84,434 to 1,030 tons;
potato Beer, 15,535 to 6,922."
"The Morning Poet argues that

WE LOOK FOR THE SAVIOUR.
The grace of God that bringeth sal-
vation hath appeared to all men,
teaching us that, denying ungodliness
and worldly lusts, we should live sob-
erly, righteously, and godly, in this
present world; looking for that bless-
ed hope and the glorious appearing
of the great God and our Saviour
.Tesue Christ; who gave Iiimeelf for
us, tiaat He might redeem us from all
iniquity and purify unto Himself a
a peculiar people, zealfius of good
works. We, according to His pro-
mise, look for new heavens and a new
earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye
look for such things, be diligent that
ye may be found of him in peace,
without spot, and blameless.
Christ was once offered to bear the
sins of many; and unto them that
look for Him shall He appear the sec-
ond time without sin unto salvation.
--And it shall be said in that day,
Lo, this is our God; we have waited
for Him and He will save us; this is
the Lord; we have waited for Him,
we will be glad and rejoice in His
salvation.
THE MORAL ORDER.
Nothing reveals the existence of a
persistent moral order more clearly
than the quiet we in whicli men of
bad will and bad life are used against
their wills for the ends of good. Once
Pharaoh may have argued for evil;
he can argue now only for good. His
Pyramids proclaim him a bad pay-
master; they stand to -day huge in-
troduction to the bnkruptcy court,
and the winds as they whistle round
the stony gate, say: He did not pay
his debts. He built with slave labor.
He built a monument to his hurt.
"Remember Lot's wife." Who was
she? She was a woman of care. Lot
entered into Sodom, and soon Sodom
entered Lot, and his wife had to
share his destiny, God in mercy
sent His angel to rescue these from
destruction. Was it for the sake of
Abraba,m? The poor woman looked
back with mixed feelins, and she was
turned into a pillar of salt. What
sort of a pillar? Well, it was not of
hewn stone, like Cleopatra's needle;
it was not a very elegant work of art,
but it was a pillar all the same, and
It conveys a lasting lesson. How
was it built? Our Mrs. Lot, in her
flurry, tumbled into a muddy spot on
the shore of a. salt lake, and awooned
and died. The salt spray blew over
her and stayed, then more salt spray,
then more; it lodged and dried and
hardened; the angry winds and waves
built the pillar for all generations to
look at anti learn. And what is the
lesson? Don't have half a heart;
don't set your affections on the earth;
don't think to feed your soul with the
thing of this life. Follow the Lord,
follow the Lord fully, stay not in all
the plain, flee to the mountain, lest
thou be consumed.
Passengers through the Suez Canal
look out for tops of the Pyramids.
The canal is a modern institution. It
was built a few years ago; it shortens
the way to India by weeks. How
was it built? Strange how history
repeats itself. It was built by slave
labor, and the workmen were not pair
(as I am informed).
There is a quiet assurance about
the moral order. It takes plenty of
time. It has no cormern to end evil,
or punish evil before sundown. It
does not hasten. It can wait. We
wonder that it doets wait. There is
a wonderful selective process going
on all the while, We have no right
right to grow nervous about the pun-
ishment of evil. We do not know how
much would be wise and good. We
know men on one side ,the bad side
perhaps; but God knows another side,
a good side, whch deserees to be con-
sidered God's moral order is on
deck, it hetes bad men, it shortens
their influence, it takes away their
power for evil. "The wicked live not
out half their days," . T. Millar.

Loudon, Aug, 27,—The Russians,
who for some time had remained
quiescent in the Itiga region, have
again etartea an offensive against
the Germans. Efforts were made bY
them to crow the Dvina River (south-
east of Riga, and near Friedrichstadt,
but both attempte failed, according to
Berlin. On the remainder of the Rus-
sian front no fighting of importance
liati barn reported.
While the Russian drive for Kovel
and Lemberg has not been resumed —
for eateat reason Petrograd gives no
hint—the Czar's troops continue to
Push eteadily forward hi, the foothille
of the Carpathians.
Striking wet of the Jablonitza
Pass, which they now centred, the
Russians seized the village ot Guta
and reached the sources of the two
Bystritza Rivers. These gains were
made in the sector bordering on tne
Pantyr Pase. Continuation of the aa-
vance here will give the Czar's troops
another road into Hungary.
Petrograd also chronicles a fresh
advance for the Ruseiarts at Koveria
mountain near the Hungarian border.

GREW HAIR ON
BALD HEADS
Speaker at Religious Con-
ference, Says Ancients Did,
Moses' Rock and Other
Wonders Found in Egypt.
Winona Lake, Ind., Report.—To
make hair grow on bald pates is one
of the lost arts, according to the
Roy. Camden M. Cobern., of Alle-
gheny College, ,Meadville, Pa., who
was one of the speakers at the Wi
none, Bible conference.
He described the finding of maha-
scripts dated 3200 B. C., on which the
ink was as well preserved as if it had
been recently applied.
"On one of these manuscripts," he
said, "there was a prescription for
the cure of baldness. There is noth-
ing we know now which Will make
hair grow on bald pates, and either
the prescription then was a fraud or
it describes one of the lost arts."
Dr, Cobern said tbe body ot Bud-
dha, the founder of the religion call-
ed Buddhism, was discovered within
the last year. Another discovery, in
which Dr, Cobern snared, was that of
the reek out of Which Moses brought
water in the wilderness in the days
of the ettodus described in the Bible.
"I stake my reputation as a man
arid minister that it was the iden-
ileal rock," he said. "In order to
find it we traveled with the thet-
ammeter ranging from 104 tcr 124.de.
groes in the shade, and there WEIS no
