Whosoever will be chief dnlong you

of Man came net to be ministered uoto

A surprise awaits him who carefully
will compare the emphasis laid upon
the Individual soul and its salvation by
the mde'tl churcie with the place
glven this in the leachings of
the 13lble. Perhaps he will find In
modern preaohing, with its insistent
appeal to men to save their own souls,
an explanation of prevnlent selfishness.
The moral effect of urging a man to save
his soul 1s not much better than thgt
which comes Isom advising him to save
his skin at any cost.
The most serious objection ever matte
to religion is shpt It produces a narrow,
self-centered type of mind. That type
of religion cannot be right, regardless
of its daclrinal orthodoxy, which pro-
duces a wrong type+of men and women.
But may not failure here be accounted
for by the selfish hasps on which mea
build the plea for what they call per-
sonal salvation?
The concentration of mind on the self,
r'helher in the name of religion or in
any other name, Is but moral suicide.
People who have no tither object in lite
than that, of saving their own souls are
but little bettor than those whose whole
object is to fatten, protect, and
KEEP SAFE THEIR BODIES.
But Ciue:inanity must be perverted
greatly to slake it leach men to set their
own interests first. It Is Tho religion of
the other man. Its appeal is not to the
love of self, but to the love of society.
It offers a way of salvation, not as a
thing desirable for your -exclusive use,
but es the pathway for all lives, for all.
1110 people. Its tree of /Be is not for a
single pair, but for the healing of the
nations.
True religion is not self-centered cul-
ture, but in the culture of all through
the service of the single ones and the
culture of the one through his service
for all. Only In the atmosphere of ser-
.444,0 vice does the soul grow, expand, and
find itself. To live in a circle is to die;
it is the centrifugal lite that finds salva-
tion. They court death who seek only
their own lives; they and life who, rlis-
rega'ding death and loss, seek only 10

Note.—Tire Text of the Revised Version
is used as a basis fur these Word
Studies.
An Autumn Visit to Jerusnlem,—
_ ,. Sheehy after his dtseourse on humility'
and forgiveness, ports of which termed
the lesson texts for the past leo Sun-
days, Jesus al tended the mai mnnl
Feast of Tabernacles at Jerusalem
which had constituted his field of labor
during- most of itis public ministry.
t;. Whfio at Jerusalem Jesus taught in the
courts of the temple and delivered
among other discourses those on himself
as the Light of the World and on spiel-
tual freedom. The seventh end eighth
i.v
chapters of John's Gospel aro devoted
IJ to the events and discourses connected
with this visit to Jerusnlem. Aller the
feast Jesus seems to have returned for
to very brief period to Galilee. ills final
departure from Gaitlee is recorded in.
Mall. 10. 1, 2; Mail( 10. 1; and Luke 9.
51-82. The period between the Uma rf
1
this departure from Galilee until the
final arrive of Jesus at Jerusalem at the
time of his triumphal entry Is generally
known as the period of his Preemie min-
. istry, concerning which we shall have
more lo Any in another connection. The
first event of this period noted by lite
f evangelists was the Mission of tate
Seventy, recorded In Luke. 10. 1-24, and
in Ilte pastel passage Malt, 10, :1-30.
The evenls' of to -day's Leeson follow
immediately after the sending forth of
the seventy and mattered somewhere
outside of Coulee, probably In sono
town or village to the south or south-
east.
Verse 25. A certain -cony all emissary elf the Jews wailing
aft opportune moment to engage
Jesus in Neje such n discussion, A law-
yer among the Jews was one \vino by
;ct profession was an interpreter of the
Mosaic law. His work was closely r0-
lalcd to that of the scribe and doubtless
tate seine person often held both offices.
What 'shall 7 do to inherit elornnl
life? ---A question much debated among
11ne scribes attd lawyers, emphasis being
lairs at all tones on the word d0, ,Tho
keeping of the law being considered the
only requirement for entrance into
life alernnl. The question, however, as
to just how much 11 wits necessary to
do or hoe 01 eels might bo left undone
and st'iil eternal life he aohieved, was a
question vouch debated, '
20. What. is written in Iho law ?—
Since the ea100 of the 010 Testament
had. been fixer,) long before the limo of
Christ, 1110 law referred to can be no
other than the eremite code as contained
in the Pen InIouch.
Bowe rendesi thou? — This counter
quaslion of Josue, since ndctressed 10 a
peolessinirnl tender 'of the law, must
have seemed eminently lair to all pre-
sent, The burden of answering his own
question wile thereby thrown beck upon
the lawyer Ilhmself. Ile could not do
otherwise, therefore, than to show by
Inns answer flint he really did know
Wherein nonaisted the ,sum and sub-
stance of the whole ciccalkgue,
28. this de, and thou shalt live --11 is
the Master's limn to piece the emphasis
00 the weed en, The practice 0f the
scril.r2s, and lawyers, and Pharisees
evidently
did
ynob always correspond
with their theories, and this personal
application of the whole 'matter to the
lawyers own practical Ilfe must have
been to him as unwelcome as it was
unexpected.
20. Desiring to justify himself—For
raising a question in the first place
which bead been so briefly and poinletly
answered:
Who is my neighbor?—This second
question was doubtless asked with a
show of sincerity, since from a lawyer's
standpoint here, too, there was room ver
dispute and difference of opinion.
30. A certain man—Unnamed and un-
identified as to nationality and social
standing, but. from the entire setting
of the narrative presumably a ,few.
Down frau Jerusnlem to Jericho—
Jrriche lay in the deep gorge of the Jor-
dan almost nine hundred feet below
the level of the iwfediterranean; Jorttsn-
lem was a mountain city on the high-
lands of Judea. The distance between
the cillos was about twenty miles. 1.1ence
the decline of the narrow motmtnin
road was sleep.. The road 11se11 was
tugged and the surrounding hills and
narrow gullies offered a convenient
pltice both for attack and for retreat to
robbers who thein as now infested such
highways in great numbers.
Slipped hire—Robbing hien of his
clothes, which in all probebilily wore
the most valuable part of his posses-
sions. An Orientals wealth consists
largely in the flocks and herds he pos-
sesses and in the clothes he wears.
32. A Levite—All priests were Leviles,
that . is, members of the tribe of Levi,
though not all Levites were priests.
Yet both these men, the priest end the
Levine, were by profession closely ns-
sociated with Iho services of the sanc-
lua'y and hence men from whom nssls-
tnnce In such circumstances might well
have been expected.
35. Two shillings—Lilernlly two de -
mei!, about thirty-four cents, which,
however, woes equivalent to two days'
wages •for a. laboring man.
30. Which o1 these horse—Only one
anewer was possible, and the lawyer
in ovoid adding the charge of insincer-
ity or ignorance to oiler defeat In argu-
ment gave that mnsw'er.
17, no, and do plot likowlse--Tho

who knew the way hut was not walk-

iIngnggeneral directions ore worth follow-
;
FEEDiNG.
The most important anct critical part
Of your work is feeding. Different cal-
dren require differeol food. That which
agrees with one will often disagree with
another, but the food most likely to
agree with the child is the milk 01 a
healthy cow. The milk should he allow-
ed to Maud three or.faur hours after
straining in order that the heavy Miner -
portion, may settle to the bottom.
'I'lre top third of the ltltlic should dell
be token off for the baby, 1t shnuld
b:tmixed with a proper quantity at.
water nrcording to the age of the onild
and a little sugar of nillk added fnr the
reason. That cow's milts is less sweet
.than human milk. The entounl of water
varies with ilia age of the child; ire -
gummy of feeding oleo varies from niton
In hyo [tours to four times per Flay rte.
cording to the age or the ohild. Use
sterilized water only. •
The add[llon of a little linea water is
always necessary, as the remotion of the
tnoilrcr's milk is niknline and that of the
cow's milk is' acid.
A formula extensively used is: Three
pals of the weak cream (the upper pint
which was poured off and retained);
two parts' of lime wafer and three
parts of sugar water, The lime weir,' is
made by pouring water over fresh -slack.
el line and straining through two thick-
nesses of cloth. The sugar water is
made by dissolving eighteen drams of
milk -sugar in a pint of water.
When a baby':::shows signs of indiges-
tion, give a.. laxative, such as n tea-
spoonful or more of castor Oa and dis-
continue the milk entirely for a clay or
ionger, and give nothing but barley
water or rice water.
Babies should have no other food .but,
milk, no fruit the first year aid very lit
Ile the second; never pointers, Ment,
onffoe. etc. A child six or eight, months
old may hairs a crust of bread to suck
and chew. Thousands of infants lose
their lives in consequence of reckless
feeding.
CLOTHING.
Very young babies should be kept
warn, especially when taken out in conl
'Weather. A tiny baby will endure a
gobd deaf' of wrapping, es it does not
need so much air as an older child.
A loose flannel bend which covers the
ent[rc abdomen should bo worn Until
the Child Is a year old, and longer If
the bowels aro in a sensitive condition.
'right bends should be avoided. Skirts
which button over the shoulder are pre-
ferable.
Clothing shouldfasten by tapes where
possible. When safely pins are used for
pinning bands they should be fastened
on the side so the child will not be oblig.
ed lo Ile on anything hard.
Cleanliness is absolutely essential.
Babies should be bathed daily. Diapers
should be changed promptly. Speelal
care should be talon to avoid chafing
and excoriation at the joints. Suitable
powders, cornstarch for example, should
be used. The child should be regularly
sl.00led and the pails washed and dried
each time,
BOTTLES,
inm,edialely niter using bottle wash
it thoroughly. Rubber nipples when
n05 In use should be kept in water to
which is added a little soda. Sour bot,
Iles or milk ore exceedingly dangerous.
Use plain bottle and hold it while feed-
ing.
SLEEP.
Children should be trained in proper
habits of sleep. A quiet darkened
room, a warm comfortable bed, appetite
satisfied and dry napkins are all that
is needed to induce sleep in a healthy
chil
Dud,ring the first Six months a child
should sleep from sixteen to eighteen
hours a (ley. At the ago of one, from

ciated with (ravelling rapidly or draw-
ing heavy loads on htud or rough

results when the frog is ruthlessly cut

all curves included, however, every ' •
rule has its exceptions, and the tiger
whleh forms the eubjecl of this dale was
certainly one of ihem.
A writer in the London Field points
out that for some months previous to
the expedition, which ended in the (le-
slruction of ibis monster, rumors had
reached the district authorities of Griper-
gain of the existence of an enormous
tiger, which was said to bare taken up
his abode in a large Government re-
serve forest, some twenty miles from
the civil station, to prey on the cattle of
the villagers residing in the immediate
vicinity of the forest. After giving de-
tails as to the organization of the expe-
dition and the discovery of the tiger, the
writer adds ; In eroselug a .patch of
open, Mr, Watson, the district officer,
who Is prnhably the safest rifle shot in
Bengal, alining a full length ahead and
on the ground line, Reed, rolling the
animal over in his tracks.
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SHOT,
yet so fast was the tiger going that,
even with the allowance made, the bul-
let, as we subsequently discovered,
struck well behind the ribs. Picking
himself up al once, the tiger stumbled
on, and, gaining a thick bit of wild plum
jungle, disappeared into it.
The struggle had continued for about
an hour, and as there seemed no imme-
diate prospect of surrender on the'tiger's
part, nor any likelihood of his suc-
cumbing to iris injuries, it was deter-
mined to attack him In his stronghold
with the howdah elephants --a fairly
perilous undertaking, considering the
stale of lits femper and the position he
occupied. Matters were getting serious
and the sun unpleasantly warm. The
howdah elephants and two staunch
tusicers were accordingly formed into
line, and advanced cautiously into the
cover. No sooner had they entered than
they were greeted by a roar so appal-
ling in its ferocity that the three ele-
phants carrying the forest officer and
the planters turned tail and fled incon-
tinently, nor In snits of all threats and
inducements could they be persuaded
to return to the attack. Watson and the
two tuckers were left to carry on the
fight es bast they might.
Several attempts were mode to force
a charge, but without success. Finally
one of the tuskers, an exceptionally
stanch and powerful animal, was press-

view.' Watson, tv110 had been directing
this very dangerous operation, quickly
seized his opportunity and, seeing that
the tiger still recused to charge, fired a
charge of No. 8 into the patch, hoping
this might eflect a change in the tiger's
position and thus allow of
