Vigorously as we may protea against the stall► that substitutes uuulyse, and speculations concerning deity for human Cubes slid service, it is not well to line sight of the fact that a man's character largely is influenced by his conception et the tightest tuna of being he may know or imagine. The trend of a man's life is determined by that which Le places highest in the heaven of his ideals. Now it Is better that a man should bar a pagan, :saying tie hos no god and trotting out only on the world of nature, than that Ile should be molded by the philosophy of a universe ruled by a dour, crabbed hearted tyrant. For a rani always will find things and thought, sweet, fair, wholesome, elevat- ing, and broadening, moving to grati- tude end aympathy, when he looks out on nature, on field, and sky; but only; legotry and bitterness can come from the life whose sky is darkened by the spectre of a god of wrath. They say that the devil's most happy; delusiotl is the persuading of men That he is dead; rather, if there be a prince of darkness with any favorite rnessaae for men, That message well may be that the god of pettishness, animosity, and , cheap, theatrical sovereignty is still; alive and controlling the destinies of sten. It always has been easy to find sopped short at the vital and only permanently per_.uusive part of their ar- 1 gumcnt which would demonstrate the geodnese and tender kindness, the over- tlowutg wealth of the creator's love as evidenced in a world so Lair and full ct beauty. Strange that we should think that he so ungi.idgingly would give to til, the things that delight our eyes ani withhold from any all that for which hearts hunger. All through the ages this great love has been seeking men. \\'e, because we were like spoilt children, jealous, and desirous of keeping in the tiny channel r 1 our affectio'►s the divine heart wealth, have decided his love could not be for all, tie only could love the good—such ee we are; PPP: MUST HATE THE WAYWARD, !the light hearted, and all those who could not crowd their mind into our in- tclleclual molds. \Ve;were blind to the bountiful, limit- less fection speaking through every tpspr 'ging blade and blossoming flow- er, th ,ugh the earth's riot of unneces• sary : ppiness, through singing voices or see , through strange tear ccininand- Ing It ughts on starry nights.

The text of the Revised Version is uset as a basis for these Word Studies. Verse 1. Then came Peter—(laving spoken n occasions of stumbling, both external and internal, in the lives of his disciple Jesus called their attention to the alai, ;de which they themselves es hie di. iples should assume toward those wl o went astray into sin, that is, those w o gave occasion for stumbling (verses 15.20). The suggcdlion of Jesus That they should first seek in every pos- sible way to bring an erring brother to acknowledge and forsake his evil way prompted Peter to ask the question, How oft shall my brother sin against ale, and I forgive him? Seven times—According to Rabbinical rules no one could ask forgiveness of his neighbor more than three Ihnes. Peter, prompted by a generous impulse, ven- tured to suggest one more forgiveness than twice the number permitted by the lie bbinicaI rule. 22. Seventy tI►nes seven — An Infinite number of limes is the real meaning of the answer of Jesus. The limit to for- giveness hnd already been pointed out by him In verses 15-17 of this chapter. The limit is fixed by the attitude of the one committing the wrong. An impeni- tent spirit tin the port of the wrong- doer makes impossible even the flrst forgit'ene-s. but where sorrow and repentance are found, there is to be no limit. 23.

Lives Alonp Tonquin Coast and Ilan a Mustache, , Dr. itaphael Blanchard, professor of the medical faculty of the University of Paris and member of the Academie de Mrdcine. has been going into the ques- tion of the sea serpent and now finds himself in a position not only to de- scribe the monster but to give a por- trait of him. Ile has a heats and body like a seal, but with an immensely long tail and a very long and flexible neck. He is also ornamented with a (Ino mus- tache, and he is believed to have a mane, though this does not appear to be quite certain. Dr. Blanchard hods that the existence of the great serpent is beyond all doubt. He has been seen several times in the Bay of Aloing. in 1901 he was seen by Lieut. Lagrestlle of the French navy, commanding the Avalanche, and again by Lieut. t. Eost, commanding the gun- boat Decidee. The latter officers account is remark- able for the precision of its details. The length of the serpent which he saw was at least twenty metres; it had a largo dorsal fin and a head like a seal's, but much shorter. Its skin was so tougll that shells burst on its surface apparent- ly without more effect than tickling the dome of St. Paul's would have on the Deen and Chapter. Dr. Blanchard notes that it is on the const of Tenquin that the serpent seems chiefly to show itself. and calls on the Cochin China Govern- ment to organize an expedition to cap- ture the rnon•ter. It is a curious feet that in a village on the coast of the Bay of Aloing a stuffed serpent is kept by the natives, who have built a temple for it and pay 1l divine honors. RUBBER HEEi.ED TENANTS.

Several torture relics were put up for auction at Stevens's, Covent Garden, recently, but they did not excite much competition, says the London Daily News. There were no eager calls, even for a hangman's rope. A paltry 78. was all that was given for one which had been used by the renowned Berry. An iron screw, or foot squeezer, was bought for £l, and the seine figure was paid for a set of double stocks, and also for what is termed "drunkard's cloak.' The last-named Ls one of those instru- ments of old which was intended to put the delinquent to shame. It is shaped like a huge pail, and the drunkard who was to be disgraced was fastened into it with only his head visible through a narrow aperture at the top. The cloak gave the wearer the minimum of room, the hands being practically pinned to the sides, and walking was only possible in a kind of shuffling movement. Other articles sold were an ancient whipping post with shackles from Ox- ford, two sets of shackles which were used in old Newgate Prison, ancient branding irons and an iron "boot," into which the victim's naked foot was placed and boiling oil poured in, all of which sold at Ns. each. An ancient chair from the Costte of Norenburg, in which people were se• cured for torture, fetched 18s., and an iron torture collar with spikes, els, FOn CONVENIENCE SAKE. There erns no help for it.

"Great Scott, maul" he said to the soli- tary stolid porter on duty. "what on earth evade him build the station so far from the village?" "Buono, mister," said the porter gravely, "unless, perhaps, it was because they thought It world be more convent - cid to have it down here near the rail - e ay," --4— Ile : "But 1 thought you'd forgiven me for that, and promised to forget it?"
