It would take ten years. By it calculation in compound interest, each man bringing another and that one another aud that one another, in ten years the whole earth would be saved -1911. Before the organs In our churches tire worn out they ought to sound the grand march of the whole earth saved. If the world is not Rived in the next ten years, It will be the fault of the Church of Christ. But it will all depend upon. the revival spirit. The hook o.nd line fishing will not do it. In some of the attributes of the Lord we seem to share on a small settle. For insto.nce, in his love and in his Oindnees. But until of late foreknotvledge, omnisciento, omiaipre- sauce, omnipotence, seem to have been exclueively God's possession. God, desiring to make the race like himself, gives us it speeies of the foreknowledge in the weather prob- abilities, gives us a species nf omni- science in telegraphy, gives us a species of omnipresence in the tele- phone, gives us a species of omnipo- tence in the steam power. Discov- eries and inventions all around about us, people are asking what next? I will tell you 'what next. Next, a stupendous religious movement. Next, the end of war. Next, the crash of despotism. Next, the world's expurgation. Next, the, Christlike dominion. Next, the judgment. What becomes of the world after that. I care not. It will have suffered and achieved enough for one world. Lay it up in the dry- docks of eternity, like an old man- of-war gone out of service, or fit it up like a Constellatioii to carry bread of relief to some other suffer- ing planet or let it be demolished. Farewell, dear old world. that began with paradise and ended with judg- ment conflagration. Last summer I stood on the Isle of Wight, and I had pointed out to me the place where the Eurydice sank with 200 or 300 young men who were in training for the British navy. You remember when that training ship went down there was a thrill of horror all over the world. Since then there was another train- ing ship missing, the Atlanta, gene down with all on board. By order of Her Majesty's Government vessels went cruising up and down the At- lantic trying to find that lost train- ing ship in which there were so many young men preparing for the British rutty. Alas, for the lost Atlanta! Oh, ray friends, this world is only a. training shipl On it we are train- ing for heaven: The old ship sails up and down. the ocean of immen- sity, now through the dark waves of midnight, now through the golden crested wave of the morn, but sails on and sails on: After awhile her work will be done, and the inhabi- tants 'of hetaten will look out and fled a world missing. The cry will that without revivals this world will never be converted and that a 100 or 200 years without revivals Chris- tianity will be practically extinct. It is it matter of astounding arith- metic. In emit of our modern gen- erations there are at least 82,000.- 000 children. Now edit 32,000.000 to the world's population and theft have only 100,000 or 200.000 con- verted every year. and how long Ile - fore the world will be saved? Nev- er-o.bsolutely never! We talk a good deal about the good times that are, coming and about the world's redemption.

"They en- closed a great multitude of fishes, astd the net brake." It is sometimes opposed to reviv- als of religion that those who come into the church at such times do not hold out. As long as there is o. gale a blessing they have their sails up. Rot as soon as strong winds stop blowing then they drop into a dead eaam. But what are the facts in the ease? In all our churches the vast 'majority of the useful people are those who are brought in under great awakenings, and they hold out. Who are the prominent men in the United States in churches, in prayer meet - Zags, in Sabbath schools? For the most part they are the product of treat awakenings. . „ . • .1 1 have noticed that those who are arought into the kingdom of God itareisigh revivals have more persist- ence and more determination in the Christian life than those who come *under a low state of religion. Peo- ale born in an i.ehouse mite-slit:a-but they will never get over the cold they caught in the icehouse.

But it is sometimes objected to re- vivals that there is so much excite- ment that people mistake hysteria for religion. We admit that in every [ravival of religion there is either a suppressed or a demonstrated excite- ment. Indeed, if a man can go out a a state of conderanation into a state of acceptance with God or see others go without any agitation of soul he is in an unhealthy,' morbid state and is as repulsive and absurd toe a man who should boast he saw a. child snatched out from under a horse's hoofs and felt no agitation or saw a man rescued from the fourth storey of a house on Ore and felt no acceleration of the pulses.

And tvho speaketh against the Holy Ghost, says the Bible, he shall never be forgiven, neither in this world nor in the world to come. I think some- times people have made a fatal mis- take in this direction. Now I come to the real genuine cause of objeetions to revivals. That is the coldness of the objector. It is the secret and hidden but unmistak- able cause in every case, a low state of religion in the heart, wide awake, consecrated, useful Christians are never afraid of revivals. It is the spiritually dead who are afraid of having their sepulcher molested. The chief agents of the devil during a great awakening are always uncon- verted professOrs of religion. As soon as Christ's work begins they begin to gossip against it and take a pail of water and try to put out this spark of religious influence, and they try to put out another spark. Do they succeed? As well whon Chicago Ives on fire might some one have gone out with a garden water pot trying to extinguish it. The difficulty is that when a revival begins in a church it begins at so many points that while you have doused one an- xious soul with a pail of cold water tb.ere are 500 other anxious souls on fire. Oh, how much better it would be to lay hold of the chariot of Christ's gospel and help pull it on rather than to fling ourselves in front of the wheels trying to b3ock their progress. We will not stop the chariot, but we ourselves will be ground to powder. But I think, after all, the greatest obstacle to revivals throughout Christendom is an unconverted min- istry. We must believe that the vast majority of those who offieiate at sacred altars are regenerated, but I .suppose there may float into the ministry of all the denominations of Christians men - whose hearts have never been changed by grace. They are all antagonistic to revivals. How did they get into the ministry? Per- haps some of them, chose it as a. re- epectable profession. Perhaps some chose it as a means of livelihood. Perhaps some of them were sincere, but were mistaken.

There will then be those who will await Min as Ire returns from the wedding (Luke xli, 46). LESSON VL -Parable of the talents (Math. xxv, 14-30). Golden Text, "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God" (Rom. xis-, 12). While salvation is Molliy of grace, the free gift of God and cannot by any one be earned or deserved (Rom. ill, 24; la 5; Eplo Titus Hi. 5). there are good works ex- pected from all who are saved, works wIdell Ile has prepared for us to walk In, fruit to be borne to His glory, and for this we must appear before the judgment seat of Christ to give account ot our steemnisbip and be rewarded according to our works (Eplo 11, 10; Rev. xxii, 12). LESSON N'11.-Tbe Lord's supper (Math. XXII, 17-30). Golden Text, "This do in remembrance of Mc" (Luke xxii, 19). Having kept the last passoveriIs- rael's great annual feast commemorating their deliverance 'from Egypt and point- ing forward to the kingdom, He institut- ed the supper to take the place of the passover for His disciples till He shall come again (I Coo xi, 26), the bread rep- resenting His body and the wine His blood, by which -i. e., by His sacrifice for us -we receiving Him have eternal life. LESSON VIM -Jesus in Gethsemane (Math. xxvi, 30-46). Golden Text, "Not My will, but Thine, be done" (Luke xxii, 42). We should ever consider and pray to understand more fully the sorrows which we may never in this life fully un- derstand. Seeing even Peter, James and John heavy with sleep at such a time and remembering His word, "What, could ye not watch with Me one hour?" and also the admonition in Rom. xiii'11- 14, it becomes us to pray earnestly to be always awake to His interests and live as He did in the Nrill of God. Leessort 1X. -Jesus betrayed (John 144). Golden Text, "The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sin- ners" (Math. xxvi, 45). That some one should betray Christ did not make the betrayer any less guilty (Luke xxii, 22; Mark 21). Judas, might have been a true diseiple if he had been willing, but with all his privileges and opportunities he chose the devil's service. Truly "the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked". (jar. xvii, 9). We should not look around to find wicked hearts in others, but consider what we might have been ILO done but for the grace of God. • LESSON . X. -Jesus and Caiaphas /Math,: xxvi, 57-68). Golden, Text, "Thou art alle Clirist, the Son of the Living God" (Math. xvi, 16). As we see Jesus yielding Himself to be bound and led as ' the people willed,and as we see Him who is indeed God's Great High Priest : submitting to be ill treated by him who was recognized by man as high priest, We should leant meekly to bear a great deal in this present life even from those who stand high in the anima but may feel led cruelly to misjudge and ill treat es.

Tbeze three types of actioa suut up the efforts of a. Illan'S Wee frOin, the cradle to the grave. Thea spring from three emotions, the meet fundamental and the most difficult to coneroI. Tbese are sympathy, feer and anger. Whet it child sym- pathizes with. what he fears, what he gets mad at -this will determine very largely what he than become, The training of these einotiows should. therefore, be the priumr,Y alus of every parent eud teacher. TOW fact has not been generally reeoguig- ed. Aud because it has not the world is full of men and women who selneathize unwisely, light unwisely, and live miserably. Of these three attitudes that a child may telta toward the world, the fighting or resisting attitude is the most troublesome for those who have the government. of children. Of the childreu reported on in our studw 50 per Mt. of the boys and 56 per cent girls are dillicult to goven be- cause they resist othee people. This resistance takes the form of ells- obedieuee, stubbornness. anger, jeal- ousy and fighting. Now mime, par- ents think that such resistance is the worst possible offense. Much of what is called training it thilel up in the way be should go consists in crush- ing out Ids spirit of resistance. Resistance in not in itselt it bad thing. Moreover, what is true ot the -ulnae es true of its parts. Dis- obedience, stubbornness. auger, jeal- ouse and fighting are not in there - selves bad things. There are condi- lions under whist a human being may have to be disobedient, or stub- born, or angry. or' jealotes, or com- bative to preserve his food. And If this be true it can be sai eiga Of wisdont in a parent or of virtue in it child if the latter be made abso- lutely passionless. It is rather it sign of wisdotn in the parent, and ot virtue in the child when the latter is capable of being disobedient, stub- born, angry, jealous or combative at the right time. and only then. And this is the legitimate aini of it %edict's training, so far AS it relates ; to resistance. The problem, then is first to deter- mine when o. child should resist and when it should not. This will de- pend upon the child and the oh-- cilmstances that provoke resistance, and must be left to the wisdom and conscience of the parent. The °ilia general criterion is that of the child's inalienable rights as a bu- man being, mid the equally inalien- able rights of others concerned% There is here no place for "obedi- ence for its own sake." Obedience has no "sake." There is no merit in curtailing a. child's disobedience or his stubborness, or his anger, or his combativeness unless his own or somebody else's well being is ti.V stake. In the next place, the probe lezu is to keep the child's life healthy, in order that its impulses of resist- ance may take the right direction; to get rid of positively harmful typeit of resistance -and nourish positively, beneficial types of resistance and to transform in general the struggle foX i life on a physical plane into a. strum. gle for life on an intellectual and moral plane. How may this be done? The mothers Nvho have had a part hi, this study hove given the following suggestions, to zuost of which I submit lolly: (1) Attention to hygienic condition surrounding the child; (2) widening the ashild's horizon by intellectual training; (3) appealing to reason; (4) appealing to sympathy; (5) trying to awaken some other impulse; (6) trying not to arouse harmful opposition; (7) offering alternatives in giving com- mands; (8) being patient; (9) whip- ping. Such methods, used discriaa- inetingly, according to the type of resistance, and directed toward the end indicated above, would certainll. do much to 'make the resisted child what he should be -wisely disobedi- ent, wisely stubborn, wisely passion- ate, wisely combative. flections in the Northwest.

One of the best disinfectants for the stable, drains, poultry yaids or contaminated ground is to dissolve a pound of copperas and a pound of bluestone in four gallons of boiling water, adding four ounces of sul- phuric aaid. This mixture may have twice as much water if used once a , day for a week, but it is better to use it somewhat strong for the first two or three applications. It will destroy the germs of all diseases. A. Touch of Nature.
