18 TRUE LIIIERTY
here Do We Find the Greatest Freedom
In This Sin Bound World,
Being made free from sin, ye be-
gonia the servants of rightechasuess,
—Rom, vi, 18,
St. Paul speaks of the Romans
as o1 those who had been servants
of sin, but had been delivered of
this servitude and brought to the
;gloriousliberty of the children of
God. Ail that are born of the flesh
aro naturally servants of in. To
acknowledge that is the begiuniug
of true liberty. Owing to the fact
that the, servitude of sin wraps itself
in the garb of liberty, it is nob so
easy to .distinguish true and false
liberty, and many are deceived by
.looking only at the outward appear-
ance.
True liberty is righteousness, Sin
is offering all the kingdoms of the
world and the glory of them to
those who will ,fall down and woe -
:hip it, and many it miserable slave
of sin bound in uncompromising
servitucle finds no time to seek
the glorious liberty of the children
of God, thinks himself free and in-
dependent because sin allows him
to sow to the flesh, to follow his
natural inclinations and
PASSIONS UNRESTRAINED.
Though there is no law given to
the justified, his love will limit the
exercise of his freedom in much
larger measure than could ever be
attempted by law. Many a, thing
which no law forbids, which he is
at liberty to partake, a. Christian
will not touch, beceuso in his indi-
vidited case it might barns body or
soul in the 'course of time, or it
might offend ar yellow .believe•.
Christian liberty is not a license
to do what we pleese, but a desire
to do what is •expedient,
Nothing may hinder us from go-
ing into a coal mine all dressed in
white, but hew we will come out
again is a different question, Like-
wise nothing may hinder us to walk
in the counsel of the ungodly= and
stand in the way of sinners Barbel
in the white robe of Christ's righte-
ousness, but who can tellbow we
will come back? 'That's why 'St.
Paul advises "See that ye walk cies
cnmspectly, not as fools, but as
wise," lest the golden crown of
freedom be transformed into
THE IRON CHAIN OF SIN.
The greatest liberator and emanci-
pator says, "If the Son therefore
shall make you free, ye shall be
free indeed."
In Him who took upon Him the
form of a servant, who became
obedient unto death, eyen the
death of the cross, that 130 might
deliver us from all sins, from death
and from the power of the devil, we
find true liberty, and the more we
become like Him the more we be-
come free from sin and servants of
righteousness.
May God help our people to
strive after true liberty.

THE S. S. LESSON
1:1TER:41TTONAL LESSON,
JULY 21.
Paul's Second Missionary Journey
(Cunt'd.)
Athens. Acts 17:
18-24. Golden Text, John
4: 24.
. Athens in St. Paul's Day. Driven
from Berea, as we learned m our
last lesson, Pant came to Athens in
Greece. its he walked from the
Pincus, where he landed, along the
new road to the city, he saw raised
at intervals altars to the unknown
gods,
As the city of Athens came into
his view his soul must have been
trilled with the deepest emotions.
Ho had seen Jersualeni, the most
influential city in the world for re-
ligion; he longed to go to Rome,
which stood above all others in
power, in.law, in imperial sway, the
capital of the world; but now he
was to gaze upon the city which
then stood and still stands en-
throned above all others for in-
tellectual supremacy, for litera-
ture, art, architecture, and phil-
osophy.
Its situation was one of the most
beautiful in the world. Within its
wails rose a double group of hills.
The Acropolis, Mars' Hill (Areo-
pagus), The Pnyx on which De-
mosthenes spoke his orations, the
Museum Hill, the Hill of the
Nymphs, all crowned with buildings
of the most perfect architecture.
Below these were the market, the
forum, the great square south of
the Areopagus, and the Acropolis,
like the piazza or square of St.
Mark's ab Venice, surrounded by
the most beautiful buildings and
busiest stores in the city.
II. Paul Begins His Work in
.Athens. --Vs, 18-21. While Paul
waited for Silas and Timothy to
come from Berea, before proceeding
farther, or beginning special work
in a new and peculiar field, his
spirit was stirred in him, "urged
on with a sharp goad," to give the
gospel to a city wholly given to
idolatry. -
His work was with four classes
of persons.
1. The Jews. He went first to
the synagogue, as wag his usual
custom, and reasoned, discoursed,
conversed (not disputed) with thein,
2. Devout persons, proselytes to
the Jewish religion, who accepted
the Scriptures, and believed in the
one true God.
3. Epicurean Philosophers, "The
of Epicurus, known as The
School of the Garden." Their
teaching was that the object of liv-
ing was pleasure, enjoyment in
the broadest sense including the
whole of life, in which teaching
there was some truth. But in
Paul's time, 'in spite of the safe-
guards of Epicurus, his teachingcic-
generated "into a mere series of
prudential calculations or a stere
indii]geneo of the senses and ap-
petites"; and "his followers were
Sven to gross sensualism."
4. The ,Stoics, whose school was
called the Porch an dthc Aeadotny.
They were pantheists believing
that (Sod was the soial,of the world,
that everything was governed by
fate, that there was no perpetual
individual immortality. "Virtue
was its ownreward, and ,vice its
awn punishment.' Pleasure was no
good, and pain no evil." It is well
to note the tenets of these philoso-
phers in connection with Paul's
address, to see how he answers
them by his positive teaching.
III. Paul's Address Before the
University of Athens.—Vs. 22-31.
A Gracious Introduction. 22, Ye
men of a thens. The Athenians
were proud of their city, and could
be called by no higher title. So
Demosthenes, the greatest orator
in all history, addressed them. I
perceive that in all things ye are
too superstitious. An unfortunate
translation, not in accord with
either Paul's courtesy or his skill
as an orator, or as u, Christian seek-
ing to gain converts. The Greek
means more full of reverence for
deities than the other Greeks, very
religious," alluding to the great
number of idols in the city, and to
the fact that the two g.•eat phil-
osophical sects, Epieureaas and
Stoics, were deeply concerned with
religious questions.
IV. The Effects Produced by
Paul's Address. Vs. 32-34. 1. 32.
Some moeked. The teaching seem-
ed absurd to them.
2. Some refused to decide. We
will hear thee again. Like Felix,
they would wait for a more con-
venient season. They could en-
dure almost any strange theories,
but when it came to giving up their
sins. and to a change of life, they
rebelled.
3. A few accepted the truth, re-
pented, and became disciples of
Jesus. 34. Dionysius the Areo-
pagite, that is, a member of the
learned council before whom Paul
had preac.ped. Damaris. Nothing
further is known concerning her,
but shs must have been a woman of
dfston d power. A
was founded here later, and thechurch
Earbfnet]henon anbecame a Christian
temple.
TUE NEW CONSTANTINOPLE.
The City Is Cleared of Beggars and
Crimin:ils.
Hopes for the future are brighter
in the Turkish capital since Mah-
mud Shevket Pasha's "army of lib-
erators" have taken possession of
the city, Constantinople has now
been cleared of a host of .beggars,
tramps, burglars, and assassins,
which had hitherto made the capital
their home. Arson has ceased and
the streets are safe. Even the polioe
about the town are hardly recogniz-
able, fur, instead of the evil -look=
ing, dirty man of recent times, one
meets to -day a neatly -dressed offi-
cial, who knows his duty and is re-
spected by all.
Even carriage drivers are feeling
the change. Horses unfit for work
may no longer be used, and the cab-
men now find that they must feed
their animals sufficiently if they
want premission to ply for hire.
In the argicnitural provinces the
roads and bridges are having at-
tention. The mutinied First Army
Corps is being usefully employed,
unarmed, in reconstructing the
roads about Monastir and Saloniea,
a special credit of nearly $400,000
having been added to the budget for'
this purpose. The Ministry of Pub.
lie Works has also in hand the pre- en
paration of an elaborate scheme T

One of the women • from Kozo -

north of Tarsus, gives the following
account of her terrible experience
at the hands of the Turks ;—
There were- forty-seven of use
men, women and children, who were

of their villages; other groups were
driven in other directions, They

Pieplant Marmalade. — Four
pounds of pieplant, peeled and out
fine; four pounds of sugar, sill
oranges, chopped fine, with the yel-
low rinds of three grated; one
pound of almonds, blanched and
chopped. Mix all together and cook
until this pieplant is well done. Ptit
into glasses with paraffin on top.
This recipe makes twenty glasses.
When Canning Pineapple. - Take
pineapple and cut into one-half inch
slices. Core each slice and then
peel. By so doing time is saved
and the eyes of the pineapple oan
easily be removed without any
trouble. Leave in slices or cut each
slice into small pie.tes and can as
usual,
Pineapple Hint.—Purchase a
sharp razor. Then with a sharp
carving knife cut the pineapple in-
to slices about one-quarter or one-
eighth of an inch thick. Then with
the razor pool the slices, taking out
the eyes as you go along. 'There is
no waste at all like there is with
dullknives and pineapple snips,
and such things. Yon can prepare
three or four in this way in the
bine it used to take to_pyapare enc.

tect the thumb in peeling any kind
of fruit is to slip the end of a fin-
ger of an old rubber gloveover it.
Sweet Coen.I ickles.—Take twelve
ears of cern and cut grains from
the cob ; add one small head of cab-
bage, one cupful of granulated
sugar, one teaspoonful of :turmer-
ic, four onions, two tablespoonfuls
of salt, two red peppers; one table-
spoonful of ground mustard, one

Canned Cherries.—Stone the
cherries without bruising, drain,
weigh, and to each pound allow a
pound ef sugar; acid just enough
water to melt the sugar, bring to
boiling point and skim. Put in the
cherries and push to one side of
the range where they may remain
hot, but not boiling, for at least
an hour ; then draw the -kettle ever
the fire and cook slowly until the
cherries .are transparent. Skim,
drain, sprinkle sugar over them,
and place in a sieve in the sun or in
an oven to dry. This syrup will an-
swer for the boiling of several
pounds of cherries.
Cucumber Catsup Without Cook-

ander ;

Tn compiling itis statistics and in

other institutions. At the Elrnira

eases poor eyesight had led to tru-
ancy, truancy to bad companionship
and that to crime.

At the Magdalen Home he fitted
glasses to twenty inmates, and
everyone of these, he said, found
work on getting out and kept it.
One girl in particular had never
been able to keep a job more than

stupid and lazy. Since leaving the

An engineering project of leo'
little commercial impedance is
about to be carried out in the In-
dian Ocean, The large and fertile
Island of Ceylon is to be oonneeted
with the peninsula of I3industan by
rail, For the new road, which will
extend in a geriei'ally eastward
direction from Mentapan, the pres-
ent terminus of the Indian railway
system, a foundation will be afford-
ed most of the way by intervening
islands and by a submerged reef
fn one of the few channels to be
crossed. Tho line is likely to have
a length of fifty miles or more, but
in the route selected there are few
maxima gaps to be spanned. These.
will be closed with embankments,
and for the benefit of coasting ves-
sels, which might be inconvenienced
by so, continuous a barrier, a ship
canal is to be constructed through
one of the small islands, pearly at
right angles with the railway,
CHIEF BENEFIT,
The chief benefit to bo derived
from the new road will be an im
prevenient in the facilities of Cey-
lon tea growers for getting their
products to market, Not only will
quicker transportation than is now
possible' be available, but a better
system of distribution will be at the
disposal of the planters, It is
probable also thee the new road
will be employed to hasten the de-
livery of Landon mails in some of.
the large cities of India. It is
doubtful whether Bombay would
gain anything by having letters put
ashore at Colombo, the principal.
port of Ceylon, but Madras and
Calcutta unquestionably would,
NOW PARTLY COMPLETED.
In its general characteristics the
fndia-Ceylon line will resemble the
extention of the Florida East Coast
railway to Key West, now partly
completed. The American road
utilizes a succession of coral and
'keys for the support of its track.
Between the two enterprises, how-
ever, there are at least two notable
differences, The Florida road is
carried from one island to the next
by a trestle, not a solid embank-
ment, probably at a lower cost than
that -involved in the Indian Ocean
scheme; though possibly at greater
Mgr. Moreover, the . Key West
road, when finished, will be devoted
almost exclusively to passenger
traffic, while the India -Ceylon line
is expected to handle large quan-
tities of freight.
SIK1i FOOLS A LAWYER.
He Was a Black Sheep, hut Not as
Bad as I'resecutoe Thought.
There is a Sikh .out in Victoria,
B.C., who got himself out of a seri-
oils predicament by a clever ruse.
He was up against the law and as
he was something of a black sheep
even among the Sikhs it Looked as
if it would go hard with him.
He had had a bad record in. Hong-
kong and this was known to other
Sikhs and to the prosecuting law-
yer. So he arranged to have, an
unfriendly Sikh informed that for
a crime in Hongkong he had been
branded on the left arm. The un-
friendly Sikh lost no time in passing
the information to the prosecutor.
The lawyer held the information
until he evanted to make a telling
point at the trial. Then ho pointed
an accusing finger at the Sikh and
called out sternly:
"Pull up the sleeve on your left
arm and lot the Court see the brancl
placed there by Hongkong jus.

that branding criminals is not m
