Caleb, standing amid the bridal party,

going away that he could hardly see her
at all, gives her more than she asks. She
saiu to him: "Thou bast given me a
south land. Give me also springs of
water. And he gave her the upper springs
and the nether springs."
A Worthless Portion.
The fact is, that as Caleb, the father,
ewers Aohsah, the daughter, a south haul,
ate so God gives to us his world. I am very
thankful ho has given it to us, but I sup
like Aohsah in the fact that I am not
satisfied with the portion. Trees and
flowerand grass and blue skies aro very
well in their pluges, but he 'who has
nothing but this world for a portion bas
no portion at all. It is a mountainous
land, sloeing off toward the desert of sor-
row, se apt by fiery siroccos. It is "a
south Leal," a poor portion or any man
that tries to put his trust in it. 'What has

No Joy In Wealth.
Pick me out ten successful woridlings
—and you know what I mean by thor-
oughly successful worldlings—pick me
ent tan successtui worldlings. and you
cannot find more than one that leeks
happy. Care drags him to business; oars
drags him back. Take your stand at 1
o'clock at the corner of the street and
see the agonized physiognomies. Your
high akin's, your bankers, your insur-
ance men, your importers, your whole-
salers and your retailers, as a elass—as a
clam are they happy? No. Care dogs
their steps, and, making no appeal to
God for help or comfort, many of them
are tossed everywhither. How has it been
with you, my hearer? Are you more con-
tented in the home of 14 rooms than
you were in the two rooms you had in a
home when you started? Have you not
had more care and worriment 91/100 you
won that $50,000 than you did before?
Some of the poorest men I have ever
known have been those of great fortune.
A mean of small means may be put in
great business straits, but the ghastliest
of all embarrassments is that of the man
who has large estates. The men who
commit euloide because of monetary
losses are those who cannot bear the bur-
den any more, because they have only
$50,000 left.
On Bowling Green, New York, there is
a house vrhore Talleyrand used to go. He
was a favored man. All tho world knew
him, and he had wealth almost unlimit-
ed; yet at the close of his life he says,
"Behold, 83 years have passed without
any practical result, save fatigue of body
and fatigue of mind, great discourage
-
merit tor the future, and great disgust
for the past," Oh, my friends, this is a
stizoixth land," and it slopes off toward
deserts of sorrows and the prayer which

They say that the °l,1 Puritan religion is
a juiceless and joyless religion, but I re-
member reading of Dr. Goodwin, the
celebrated Puritan,, who in his last Ince
ment said: "Is this dying? Why, iny buir
abides in strength! I am swallowed up
in God!" "Her ways are war; of pleas
aptness, and all Mar paths are peace "
Oh, you who have been trying to satisfy
yourselves with the "south land" of t tits

nether springs of spiritual comma?
Would you not like to have Jesus Cririst
bend over your eradle and bless your table
and heal your woundand strew flowers
of consolation all up and down the graves
of your dead?
'Tis religion that oan give
Sweetest pleasures while we live.
'Tie religion can supply
Sweetest oomfort when we die.
But I have something better to tell
yen, suggested by this text. It teems that
old Father Caleb on the weaaing day of
his daughter wanted to make her just as
happy as possible. Though Othniel was
taking her away, and his heart was
almost broken !emuse she was going,
yet be gives ,her , a "south /and.' Not
only that, but the nether springs. Not
only that, but thaupper springs. 0 God,
my Father, I thank thee that thou hest
given me a "month land" in title world,
and the nether springs of spiritual cow -
fort in this world, but more than all I
thank thee for the upper springs in
heaven!

Why take the trouble of going back again
to that old world? We are here now. Let

we got there. But as people who cannot
afford to pay for an entertainment some-
times come around it and look through
the door ajar or through the openings in

the crevices into that good land which

Sleepless God.
The Hindoos believe that Brahma, the
creator, once made all things. He created
the water, then moved over the' water,
out of it lifted the land, grow the plantu
and animals and men on it. Out of his
eye went the sun. Out of his lips went
the lire. Out of his ear weut the air.
Then Brahma laid down to sleep off 4,-
820,000,000.years. After that, they say,
he will wake up, and then the world
will be destroyed, and he will make it
over again, bringing up land, bringing
up creatures upon it; then lying down
again to sleep 4,820,000,000 years, then
wakiug up and destroying the world
again—creation and demolition following
each other, until after 820 sleeps, each
one of these slumbers 4,820,000,000 years
long, Brahma will wake up and die, and
the universe will die with him, an in-
timation, though very faint, of the great
change to come upois this pilysioal earth
spoken of in the Bible. But while Brah-
ma may sleep, our God never slumbers
nor sleeps,* and tbe heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the ele-
ments shall melt with fervent heat, and
the earth and all things' that are therein
shall be burned up.
"Well," says some one, "if tbat is so,
it the world is going from one change to
another, then what is the use of my toil-
ing fax its betterment?" That is the point
on which I want to guard you. I do not
want you to became misanthropic. It is a
great and glorious world. If Christ could
afford to spend 33 years on it for its re-
demption, then you can afford to toil and
pray for the betterment of the nations,
and or the bringing on of that glorious
time when all people shall see the salva-
tion of God. While thrrefore I want to
guard yeti against misanthropic not,ons

The Sias of Om Sea.
Here are a few facts about the sea for
your scrapbook:
The Pacific covers 68,000,000, the At-
lantic 80,000,000 aud the Indian Oiteen,
Arctic and Antarctic 42,000,000 Rears
miles.
To stow away the contents of the Pa-
cific it would be necessary to fill a tank
one mile Iona, one mile wide and one
mile deep every day for 440 years. Put in
figures, the Pacific holds in weight 948,-
000.000,000,000,000,000 tons. It would
take about 1,000,000 years for all its
water to pass over the fails of Niagara.
The average depth of the Atlantic to
not quite three miles. Its waters weigh
25,000,000,000,000,000 tons, and a tank to
contain it would have to have each of its
six sides 230 miles long. The figures of
She other oceaus aro in the same startl-
ing proportione. It would take all the sea
water in the world about 2,000,000 years
to flow over Niagara, A tank to hold it
all would have to measure nearly 1,000
miles along each 01 11. sides.
The licart's Life Work.
The !Inman heart is so quickly respons-
ive to every touch of feeleg in the mind
that the people of ancient times thought
that it was the abiding place of the soul,
a,nd all literature, both ancient and
moaern, contains many poetio references
to this interesting fact.
The amount of work performed during
the lifetime of a 'Ninon living to the
limit of human life prescribed by King
David—threesoore and ten years—by this

credible. It is six inches in length and
tour in diameter and beats on an average
70 times a minute, 4,200 times an hour,
100,800 a day and 33,792,000 in the

Curious Calendar Facts.
There are Rome eurioutt facts about the
calendar. No century can begin on Wed-
nesday. Friday or Saturday. The same
calendar can be used every twenty years.
October always begins on the same day
of the week as .7anuary, Aura and July;
Septem het as Decem ber. Fe brua Ty, March
and November begin on the dame dam
May, June and August always begin on
different days from each other and every
month in the year. The first and last
days of the year are always the same.
These rules do not apply to leap year,
when comparison is made between days
before and after February 2950.

Stone in the Bladder.
"I was for a time under treatment
at the Toronto General Hospitah but
no relief was afforded me, watch less
a cure. I underwent a painful surgical
omira.tion, but still my disease continu-

"My sufferings were simply awful,

hope of ever getting better. when I

and a continued use of this Heaven-sent
medicine cured me absolutely nee per-

and solely to Dodd's Kidney Pills."

Recently at the Tower ce London A
visitor who was admiring one of the
suite of armor remarked to an attend-
ant that the Englishmen of the middle
ages must have been a robust lot
"0,h, no, sir," replied the guide, with
the cheery and rising emphasis an the
"Six." "The armor looks large, sir,
but you'll find that the waist measure
on nearly all these suits is only twenty-
eight or thirty inches sir. That's a
very small man, air. My word for it,
there isn't it suit in the room that
would be large enough for one at the
Queen'e Guardsmen."
