several materials quite incongruous one
with the other are so put together as to
look as if they had been thrown toge-

very soft; in the hands they appear

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
.°Tite Lord .. before whom I stand"
(v, 1; Luke 1: 19.) Became Elijah
stood before God he could stand before
king, qtteen, Baal and people. This was
Lite secret of his courage (1 Kings 183
15.) The .Cheistian is separated from the
world as "was Elijah the Tishbite
of the inhabitants of Gilead" (v. 1), that
Ito may "stand before the Lord to minis.
ter unto him, and to Mese in his name"
(Deut, 10: 8,) To stand before Gied is
to statia fearlessly before mere To
speak for God is to be ready- to speak
against sin.
"Shall not be clew nor rain. . - but
according to my word" (v, I,) Elijah
"prayed in his prayer that it might not
rein" (James 6: 17, 18, margin.) He
prayed before he prophesied. Moses had
declared that if Israel worshiped. idols
God would abut up heaven that it should
not rein (Deut. 11: 17), and Solomon
in his temple prayer hal alluded to this
(1 Kings 8: 353, so this prophet of the
desert prayed God to demand from his
people by his rod an allegiance that
bad not been accorded to his word. Bet-
ter that the peopIearuffer the agonies of
famine and thirst than think daliova,h
like ehathen idols. Physical Buffeting is
a mailer calamity than moral iniquity.
"Hide thyself" (v. 3). Self-imposed
idleness is not pleasing to God, but di-
vinely directed solitude is a, prepara-
tion for service. A. C. Peck writes: "If
we would win souls, we must be alone
with GO. To be a prophet is to be it
stranger. Prayer is as mighty as ever.
Entering every door aa God opens it,
we may not drop to the level of ordin-
ary small talk and gossip. Wo have
no time for this. Here is a subtle snare.
Many have been caught in this devil's
trap, set on every sides hidden under
the term 'sociability? Spiritual power
Is onferred only upon those who abide
in the secret,place. Let us spend hours
of every day in his presence."
"He went and did according unto the
word of the Lord" (v. 5). Four times
In our lesson ie the expression "The
word of the Lord". (vs. 2, 5, 8, la), in
connection with Elijah a type of the
saints who are to be translated at the
coming of the Lord. The weed of God
is the life of men (Luke 4:4), Christ
teaches this when he says, "Ile that
eateth me, even he shall live by me"
(John 6:57).
"The brook dried up" (v. 7). The
means God has eo signally used fail, and
we think our living is gone. But is it
not. written "ffecause 1 live, ye shall
live also" (John 14:19)? God would
have us not depend on ha providence,
but on himeelf. The changing eircum
stanees are food and faith. Our natural
tendoney to settle down on secondary
causes is so great our nest must often
be disturbed, that we may learn to trust
and obey when "the earthly brooks of
bleating on whien we have depended
dry up and we have to abandon our be-
loved Cheriths ane trust God to feed
Un without ravens,"
"I have commanded a widow" (v. 9).
The obedience of faith is not blind pre-
sumption. It is reetizig on the sure
foundation of Gotta unchanging word,
Perham; Elijah thought the "widow" was
it, wealthy woman, but. "beltold" she was
"gathering of sticks" (v. 10), But that
did not matter. God had said, "I have
commanded."
"Make Inc thereof a little cake first"
(v. 13). We 'Should always put Clod
"first", and. ourselves last. In our min-
istry of faith make for others "a little
cake first" and after make for ourselves.
When the demand tomes, feed the hun-
gry though our own provision be as the

though our own need seem as urgent as

of orchard demonstration by purchasing
a. farm of 135 ores, six miles north of
London, where the methods advocated
through the paper will be worked. out in
practice, and. where new ideas may be
tested before being recommended for
general adoption. The farm is what' is
known locally as the old Sifton place.
The rolling land, while naturally good,
has been worked out and infested. with
-weeds till it has become about the dirti-
