ITH US"
By the Emperor William
of Germany.
Tests—"The Lord of Hosts is with us."
—Psalm xlvi,, 7.
Once again the kindly hand of God
has brought us together, and once again
the week shall bo hallowed by our ear-
nest worship of the Lord, Religious
services," some one ]las said, "should he
the mill -atones of the path of man's
journey through life and bear the in-
scription "Nearer to God." These relig-
ious services of ours are likewise to Le
more than a venerable custom or a sol-
emn ceremony—they are to be founts of
strength for the human soul that lives
most deeply within us.
11 to -day the holy day of Trinity is
being celebrated throughout Christen-
dom—if the Christmas bells mingle their
clear sounds to chime forth the message
--"God to us;" the Easter bells the an-
nunciation, "God for us;" and the bells
of Pentecost the promise "God in us"—
where then could we find in this present
hour a more beautiful confession than
the word in which the Psalmist reveals
the boldness of his faith: "The Lord of
hosts is with us," or transposed into the
tongue of the Prussian, into the tongue
el the soldier, the legend: "God with
us?"
"God with us"—only Three short words,
three syllables only, merely nine small
letters ---and yet it anyone could tell the
story of this legend, It would be a long
and
A GLORIOUS TALE.
\\ho could name the places on which
tbose three words are inscribed? They
are engraved on every Prussian thaler,
gratefully confessing: "I come from the
hand of God—the blessing of God is Ell
hi all. These words brilliantly embel-
lish Prussian orders, answering to the
question: "How least thou been earn-
ed?" with the reply; "With God's help,"
and thereby proclaimingthe concurrent
warnig: "Gie all honr to God! God
with usl"
\Vho can name the men, and name
then all, who have armed themselves
with this legend? Wheteher aha favorile
device of Margrave George was: "If
God be with us, who would be against
us?" whether the Elector Frederick II.
chose the legend: "God forsaketh not
thos who put their trust in Him;" whe-
ther Emperor William the Great ac-
knowledged: "God was with us—all hon-
or to flim!" still in their hearts they
bore the flaming watchword: "God with
usi"
Who cpttld count all those hours in
which this legend has blazed up and
shown its wondrous power? I will recall
only one; the day of Lutzen. What
was the password of that sixteenth day
of November, 1632. What Was the war -
cry of the Swedes, as they stormed to
the advance? Under what did they bat-
tle, shed their blood and conquer? It
was the device that consists of those
three unflinching words: "God with usi"
And so they still remain in our days,
cast into metal of the soldier's sword -
telt, a visible emblem of the truth that
THE SOLDIER'S LOYALTY,
his strength and his discipline are root-
ed in that legend: "God with usi"
Still, what would 11 avail to have this
device on our orders and coins, on our
escutcheons and shields, if ft was not'n-
scribed in our hearts? No, the cssental
"Dint is that it shall become our device,
that legend: God with usi"
Oh. look once into thy life with eon -
seemed eye! Is it not then the whole
sum of it contained in those words "God
with em?" Who gave thee this life? \Vho
lens guarded thee by day and night, and
placed His angels behind thee in the
gravest hour? Who .has cared for thee
from year to year? Who hath blessed
thee with so much joy, and upheld thee
in the days of deepest sorrow? I know
but one answer: 1t \vac God --God with
us.

"God with usi" This legend makes
us strong and unyielding to temptation.
In truth, thou wouldst not bear the
marks of so many wounds In thy breast,
nor so many painful recollections in they
conscience, nor tine shame of so many
defeats, had thy device at all times been
"God with us." When the passions of
the flesh and blood are aroused,
THINK OF TiHY GODI
When the dark powers of selfishness,
cf anger, of frivolity, attempt to over-
come thee, look up to IIeaven! When
thy heart wavers in the intoxication of
lust, or under the pressure of care,
become conscious of these truths: God
looks upon me; God will punish me.
have God in view and In thy heart; that
is the steel armor' from which the flam-
ing arrows of the Evil One must for-
ever rebound,
"God with usi" This device gives us
repose and strength amid the sufferings
of life. Seventeen years ago we follow-
ed the bier of the Emperor Fredericks to
the silent tomb. What gave him that
courage in suffering, the greatness of
which only few were able to conceive,
that heroic strength which outshone
even all the glamor of his victories in
battle? It was the Christian's faith, the
Christian's hope: "God with us. He who
has no faith in God soon loses his cour-
age, while faith possesses a heroic
force, uplifting man above the cares
and burdens, the pains and sufferings,
of this life, and enabling him to trium-
phantly exclaim, even in deepest dark-
ness: 'The Lord of hosts is with us!
The God of Jacob is our refuge!"
Well then, write thou into thy young
heart the watchword of the courageous:
"God with usl" Never allow it io he
wiped out nor Id it be borne away by
the winds! Hold It fast with sacred ear-
nestness! Let it be thy guide throughout
life! Then go joyfully and undauntedly
on thy way, and sing this marching
song:
Since God is in His \Vnrd revealed
'Gainst devil, world and hell our shield,
And all that fain would down us,
Contempt will be their final lot,
God is with us, we are wish God,
And victory shall crown us!

"Will you," he risked, in trembling,
hopeful tones, "be mine?"
"Hardly," she responded, in a rkeh,
bass voice.
"You have given me hope that you

not reject me."
"That is another thing," site said, in

EGGS AND THEIR USES.
The yolk of eggs alone is the better
for Invalids and will be frequently
relished when, the white would be re-
jected. When cream cannot be procured
for coffee, the yolk of a sofl.ballcd egg
is a very good substitute.
To prevent the juice of fruit pies from
soaking into the bottom must, wash the
crust over with a beaten egg before put.
ling in the fruit.
When making frosting In warm
weather, set the whiles of the egg on ice
for a short time before using, 1f the
eggs you have to use for frosting are
not quite as fresh as you could desire,
a pincer of salt will make them beat
stiffer.
The white of an egg, an equal quan-
tity of cold water and pulverized sugsr
sufficient to stake it the required con-
sistency, makes a frosting which is very
nice, and as it requires no beating is
very easily trade.
When beaten eggs are to be mixed
with hot milk, es in making gravies and
custard, dip the ]rot milk into the beaten
egg a spoonful at a time, stirring well
each time, until the eggs are well
thinned, then add both together; this
wllk prevent the eggs from curdling.
It is often a question what to do with
either the whites or yollcs of eggs which
are sometimes left over niter nearing a
cake (rusting, and so lath. Either will
keep well for a day or two 11 kept in a
very cool place, the y'olits well beaten,
and the whites unbeaten. \\-bites and
yolks of eggs may be used wiih whole
eggs in any cake or other recipe calling
fur eggs, et tenting two yolks or two
whites us one egg.
When eggs arc cheap and plentiful
In summer, wash all (hose used in cook-
ing before breakfast Save the shells
and when a quantity are dry, crush them
fine; beat half a dozen eggs and stir
theist into the shells. Spread them where
they will dry quickly and when thole
mighty dry put in a chin cotton bag and
bang in a very dry place. In the winter
when eggs are scarce and dear, a lubie-
spoonful of thls mixture put in a cup,
a little cold water poured- over it and
left to stand over night or for half en
]your or so in the morning before break-
fast, will answer every purpose of e
whole egg in settling coffee.
Egg stains can easily be removed from
silver by rubbing with a wet rag dipped
in salt.
An egg wen beaten and added to it
tumbler of mills well sweetened, and
two teaspoons of best wine, is excellent
for feeble, aged persons who can take
little nourishment.
Egga are valuable remedies for burns,
and may be used in Use following ways:
The white of the egg simply used as a
varnish to exclude the air; ar, the white
beaten for a long Ione, with a tablespoon
of fresh turd, till a little water separates;
or an excellent remedy is a mixture ':,f
the yolks of eggs with glycerine, equal
parts; put in a bottle and cork tightly;
shake before using, it will keep for some
time in a cool place,
For a boil, take the stein of a boiled
egg, moisten it and apply. It will chew
off the Inattor and relieve the soreness
in a, few )yours. 'Po cleanse the hair and
promote its growth, rub the yolk of an
egg well Into the scalp, and rinse out
therougitly with warm water.
The egg of the turkey is nearly as good
us that of the hen, and that of the goose
is preferable to either for all culinary
purposes, Duck's eggs have a richer
flavor, but tie not as desirable to eat
alone; they are, however, as good for all
purposes of cookery, and for custards
and puddings superior to any. The egg
of the guinea-hen are also good for eat-
ing and all culinary purposes.

HOUSEHOLD I11NTS,
To Keep Bread Moist—A simple plan
for keeping bread from getting dry is
la place in tate pan a board pierced with
holes, and supported so as to be two
inches from the bottom. Let there be
one inch of water, put bread on the
board, and cover pan with the lid. Tire
air enclosed in the pan will prevent the
bread becoming too dry.
Burnt Milk.—When milk has been
burned pour it at once into a jug and
stand it in a basin of cold water until
it is cool, when it will be found to be
quite free from the burned smell and
taste.
flow to Keep Celery,—To keep celery
for a week or even longer first roll it up
in brown paper, then in a towel, and
put it into a dant, cool place. Before
preparing it for the table put it into a
pan of cold water and Id IL remain
there for an hour to make It crisp and
cool

the broom banyan these, handle down-
wards, and it will wear a very long
while.

LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Note.—These Word Studies are based
on the text of the Revised Version,
Popularity, Silence, Conflict—Tile they
of miracles at Capernaun (compere last
lesson) brought Jesus into suasion end
to him unwelcome popularity. A short
absence from tba- city, during which he
made a tour throughout al) Galilee
"treadling and beating the sick (Mark 1.
35-15), did not diminisle lite enthusiasm
of the Capernaum populace, upon whom
the events of that first notable Sabbath
day had made a profound and indelible
impression. But to Jesus Ibis popularity
was most unwelcome. i1 hindered
rather than helped the work In which )16 -
Was engaged. Ile sought earnestly to
avoid it, and oven forbade some whom
he had !tented from publishing the fact
abroad. The entractes he perfnrmea
were primarily works of benevolence,
the spontaneous brcalcing forth of the
supernatural power of his divine per-
sonality In Iha presence of great suttee,
ing and need, and not a display of super-
naturalism intended to establish his
authority.
With the second chapter of Mark's
narrative begins the account of the long
period of conflict with the Jewish
authorities which culminated ultimate,"
In the tragedy of bis death. Many
things about the. character and method
of his public activity tended to arouse
the hostility of the self-righteous and
bigoted scribes and Pharisees. His ex-
traordinary claims, the character of the
men whom he chose as his disciples
(common laboring men, Including even
a despised lexgathorer), Ills revolulinn-
ery teaching with regard to fasting and
Sabbath observance, and his utter fg-
Hoeing of precedent and rabbinical
leeching and authority, all made inevi-
table the hostility and conflict y on c This
Murk has brought out vividly by the
selection and grouping of events., Luke
gives the sane grouping. Matthew, on
the contrary, distributes these events.
Verse 1. Ile entered again into Caper-
naunt—After an absence of some days,
daring which he made the preaching
lour of Galilee referred to above.
IL was noised—The rumor that he had
returned and was again in the house
(that is, probably lire house of Simon
and Andrew, where be had last been
seen) spread quickly through tate city.
2. Spoke the word unto them—The
message of lath and of the gospel which
he had conte to bring to the world.
3. And they cone—That Is, certain
unamed persons, a larger company than
just the four men with their burden.
The incident which follows is introduced
into the narreltve to illush'aio how the
words and works of Jesus moused the
unlagonisin and hatred of "certain
scribes" (verse 6).
A man sick of the palsy—Literally, a
paralyl io,
4. Uncovered the roof—The roots al
Palestinian houses were flat and covered
with tiles or, in case of the more modest
dwellings, with thatch.
5. Their faint—More especially the Milli
of the lour men wild would not be do -
tared by any dilliculUes, however great,
from bringing their friend to the notice
of Jesus. The sick man doubtless also
exercised talth, but the antecedent c•f
the pronoun they is clearly the word
fon' in verse 3.
Son—thechild.
o
G, Certain of the scribes—Pharisees
and lawyers present for the express
purpose of watching, and, if possible,
finding cause for legal accusation
against hhn, Doubtless some of those
referred to were emissaries from the
hostile party at Jerusalem, by whom
the death of Jesus had probably already
been determined upon (comp. Luke 5.
17 and John 5. 18).
7. fie masphemeth—Fa' strict ortho-
dox Jews who rejected the claims of
Jesus to be the Messiah there was no
alternative verdict, far the claim to for-
give sins implied a claim to distinct
equality with God. This implied claim
of Jesus was well understood by these
sten. Hence their gtieslioy, Who can
forgive sins brit one, even God? I-Iaving
rejected his olden to divinity, they could
not do otherwise than bitterly antagonize
Jesus.
8. Perceiving in his spirkt—Knowing
who these men were, Jesus knew they
would understand its message and his
Implied claim to divinity. He knew, loo,
that for there there would be but two

of these alternatives they were choosing.
11 is not necessary to invoice any mire-
cuiuus knowledge on the part of Jesus,

Jesus lied sold, "You have heard ma
say, Thy stns are forgiven, but. have no
way of knowing whether my word car-
ries the nerrssery power with it. But
there Is nnnlher simple sentence its easily

Meow that this power is really ranine I
will speak that second word also."
Jesus doubtless would have healed the
sick man anyway, since none of his
miracles were performed merely to
gratify curiosity or prove his power`.
NOW, however, at the very beginning of
the long conflict with the recognized
religlous authorities his enemies were
not to be lett In reasonable doubt of the
vali(til;y of his claims, and therefore the
miracle is permitted in this case to
serve a double purpose. It relieves ac-
tual suffering and reveals to the doubt-
ing srrlbes a sure and adequate ground
for faith in Jesus.

may slight pallet or mat used for mid-
day sleep, or the service of the sick.

eye -witnesses of the sudden and com-
plete heating of the sick man. There was
no room left for doubt.
PETTY THEFTS IN PRISON,
Convicts Affect Kleptomania to Havre
Sentence Altered.
Kleptomaniacs in prison are not com-
mon, but prisoners sentenced for a
series of petty thefts will sometimes con-
tinue their practice in jail in order to
lead the authorities to think they ought
not to be treated lila common felons,
but removed to the criminal lunatic
asylum. . Wo ood Scrubbs prison
was once very much troubled by an
aggravated case of the kind.
The man had pleaded kleptomania at
his trial, but ail in vain, and five years
was Ula sentence passed upon him. He
had not been long in 'Wormwood
Scrubbs when all sorts of unconsidered
trifles began to disappear in the most
mysterious manner. For a long lime the
identity of the thief was unsuspected.
But one day a prisoner employed in the
printing room lost a button off his
trousers, and the thief, who worked In
the same department, offered to let him
have another. But it proved to be the
