GERMAN FLEET AT SEA"

The End of the Truce The War in Europe—Peace Palace of Conferences of No Avail—A

Long War Expected--The Meaning of It All ON the 28th of July Austria declared war

on Servia, and there have followed in rapid succession declarations of war by Germany on Russia on August 1, German invasion of Fiance the 2nd of August, followed by a violation of Belgian neutrality by Germany and the declaration of War on Germany by England the 5th of August. Since that date official declarations of war have been made by England against Austria, and by Austria against Russia and France, so that the Dual Alliance faces the Triple Entente to which have been added the forces of Belgium, in a gigantic strife the equal of which has not been known before in the history of the world.

Weeks must elapse before anything defi-nite can he known of the movements of the forces at strife or the varying successes of friend or foe. It is evident from the pre-parations being made, and the little that is allowed to escape the scissors of the censor, that, on Germany's Western frontier is mas-sed an armed force of somewhere round the million mark, and, pitted against them, a pro-bably like of number French and Belgians. On the Eastern frontiers another large army of Germans and Austrians face the terrific

forces of Russia, which in overwhelming

numbers are approaching the frontiers of both

these countries.

English preparations for an expeditionary force are being made, and the plans are such as to give the impression that a long campaign is expected, and that England will throw M the weight of her forces when they will be best able to turn the tide of conflict against the enemy. For this reason patience is ne-cessary and that loyalty which is not depress-ed in waiting the issue of a conflict the details of which will not always be available.

The fleets of Germany and England have not come to blows. It is apparent that the Germans, appreciative of their weakness in the face of the combined fleets of England and of France, or of England alone for that matter, are keeping behind the well-built de-tenses of the harbour of Wilhelmshaven and will there await an hour when they think to obtain an advantage, before giving battle. Meanwhile, Ger /ran- commerce is being gradually but effectually strangled by the British Navy.

Such is a brief survey of the outbreak of hostilities and of the present situation in Europe. Peace conferences, arbitration plans, peace palaces, and talk of a coming millennium were of no avail when it came to the final settlement. The internal conditions of Europe, the jealousies, the racial differ-ences, the greed for power on the part of

some nations, and for commercial and terri-torial aggrandisment, overcame the higher motives and controlled the tempers, and led to the final arbitrament of the sword.

The Causes of the Struggle.

These might be classed into immediate and remote, apparent and diplomatically hidden. The direct cause of the war, which began with the declaration of war between Austria and Servia, was the evident con-viction on the part of Austria that the Servian officials knew more than they were willing to admit concerning the plot which ended in the assassination of the Archduke Francis Fer dinand and his consort, and the Austrian de termination to have redress for the crime in a summary way. But back of all this lay the fact that for years, Austria, whose southern provinces are inhabited by peoples of Slavonic race has feared the influences of a Pan-Slav movement led by Servia and fostered by Russian secret agents throughout the Balkans and Southern and Eastern Austria. It was the hope that they might strike a blow here that would end the agitation which drove Austria on to the direct war measure.

But at this juncture Russia showed her hand, and her armies were put uncle' mobilization. Scarce had she begun the work, however, when Germany, the ally of Austria, challenged her purpose and began herself secretly to mobilize. It be-came at once apparent that the conflict, ;f conflict there was to be, would be on one side at least Pan•Slav—Pan• German. It did not take long for action.

Russia was allied by indissoluble bonds, for peace or war, with France. France, too, had a rankling hatred for Germany because she had lost to Germany the provinces of Alsace Lorraine in the ill-starred campaign of 1870. A deadly rivalry has ever since been existent between them and led to the Franco- Russian Alliance, France hoping to profit by the Armies of the Colossus of the

North when she engaged in another conflict. So when Germany, not having received a satisfactory reply from Russia, declared war on that country, she at once set her armies in motion on the French frontier, well knowing that she must be prepared to strike there first. But here she overstepped discretion in her greed for victory and broke the neu-trality of Belgium by invading her territory on her way into France, and compelling Eng-land, who was endeavouring to keep the peace, to interv ene in behalf of the little power whose neutrality means so much to

her own existence. Preponderant German

influence in Belgium would he a direct blow

at the commercial and naval supremacy of Great Britain.

The Strife Anticipated.

Of the expectation of this struggle by those in touch with the European situation during recent years, we quote first from the London Standard of some months ago. "We must face the fact that while every nation desires to keep the peace as long as possible, all nt them are convinced that they have no guarantee against aggression but their own ability to defend themselves." Nine months- previous in the Graphic, Lucien Wolff wrote, "Certain it is that since we

talked so familiarly of the millennium, we have been drifting more and more in the direction of Armageddon, and now it looks very much as if the dread thing were in sight." And the Paris Matin, summing up the results of the building of the Peace Palace at the Hague and enumerating the struggles which have marked its uprearing, said, "When the temple is completed, look out for a grand scrimmage." We have the "scrimmage" now with us. It came as an-ticipated, just after the completion of the Temple of Peace at the Hague, and the whole process of its erection reminds one of the scripture which reads, "When they shall say, Peace and satety, then sudden destruc-tion cometh upon them."

Of German expectations six months or more ago, the German paper the Koelnische Zeitung says, "Less feeling would be arous-ed in Germany over the proposed war budget if the government would only clearly, dis-tinctly, and without mystery, point out where the danger is threatening us, and that is, France. Never have our relations with our Western neighbour been so tense as they are to-day. Never has the spirit of revenge there shown itself so plainly. Never before has the French alliance with Russia and the friendship with England been so manifest. All this is for the sole purpose of re conquer-ing Alsace-Lorraine. In whatever corner of the world the flames may begin, it is certain that we shall have to cross swords with the

French. When that will occur no one knows."

The French reply to these efforts of Ger-many are voiced by the Action of Paris, which called the French nation to arms in the following terms, "Yes, next autumn (this autumn now), 0 people of France, you will be confronting a German people who out-number you in armed men by six to five.

"Have you seriously considered this peril, the greatest that you have ever met in the whole of your history?

"It is useless for you or your doctors to put off finding a remedy for ten years. In that time you may be dismembered, apportioned out, denationalized before the prescriptions have begun to act upon you. You must act at once or not at all."

From the foregoing quotations it is appar-ent that a struggle was looked forward to, though the quarter from which it started was entirely unexpected. The Pan-Slav—Pan-German questions, the Franco German rival-ry, all have had their bearing in bringing it about.

But after all this is not what concerns us here. For a numbet of years we have been pointing out to the readers of this paper that such a struggle was sure to come. It is evident from the word of God, the Bible, that it was inevitable. The situation itself was evidence of the Bible prophecy being on the eve of fulfilment, yet many talked of a com-ing millennium, of 'the .days of arbitration

having arrived. It appears to us that the present struggle is but the beginning of those conflicts which the Bible says are to involve the whole world before the Saviour comes again. It is one of the great dominating signs of the nearness of that event to which we have been directing the attention of our readers, the coming of the Christ as the Saviour of his people.

]( el's words are being fulfilled to day be-fore our eyes; "Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong." And Jeremiah's view of the terrific battles of the last days is indeed in accord with the words which we quote following them. Jeremiah

A Modern Battleship

exclaimed, "My anguish! my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, be-cause thou hast heard, oh, my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. Destruc tion upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled." And the writer spoken of above says, "If war is to be, of this we may be sure,—that no one inside the inferno of struggling races will think twice of the Hague and its humane regulations. The armies which advance and retreat will march amid bands of reckless guerrillas. The vil-lages will be smoking in their path, women and children will choose between the passions of the combatants.. on the plains and the chaste cruelty of the mountain snows."

John the Revelator saw these times whed

he was led to write, "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead that they should be judged." And again, "Which go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day." Christ also predicted these times when he proclaim-ed that before his re appearing "Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." Matt. 24: 7.

We are living in some of the most solemn years of the world's history. No man can predict what a day may bring forth. That we are nearing the time of the c -rming of the King of kings, we are confident. The con-flict which is now raging and which was inevitable, hurt anly speaking, is but the be-ginning of the sorrows which will eventually involve the world. Yet even this is enough to give pause to us all in the busy avocations of life, and cause us to think soberly of our need of preparation for the coming of the Lord. Not that we are in danger, physical-ly; God has placed us under one of the best, if not the best, governments of the earth. Great Britain has been forced into the present conflict in defence not only of her own rights, but the rights of weaker nations, and in the strength of her loyal sons, must triumph. But there are eternal considerations at stake. There is a pre-paration of soul to meet a soon coming Lord. Would you he ready to meet Him should this be the final conflict? Could you look up and say, "Lo this is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us," if in the near future you should see the sign of his coming in the clouds of heaven? Yet this event draws near. In the words of the

prophet Amos. we admonish, "Prepare to

meet thy God."

No soul can honorably claim Christ'spower in his behalf, who proposes, when he is secure-ly in, to let the rest of mankind struggle on without the Saviour whom he believes indis pensable, but whom he is content to have obtained for himself alone.--1'R. E. Sp -e-e.r.

The Refuge for Each One Ancient Cities of Refuge a Type—We May. Have the Reality and Find Perfect

Rest and Peace—In This Fortress of Strength the Weakest Stand Secure

STEPHEN N. HASKELL

IN the early history of the world, provision was made for the punishment of the mur-derer. "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed," was the decree of Jehovah. Gen. 9:6.

The Nearest Relative the Avenger

The one nearest of kin to the murdered man, usually executed the murderer; but lest, in the excitement of the occasion, undue haste should be exercised and individuals be slain who did not deserve death, God made provision that the murderer might flee and lay hold upon His altar. None could be taken from the altar without an examination. If it was found that the murderer had pre-sumptuously planned to kill the man, then he was taken from the altar and slain; otherwise his life was spared. Ex. 21:14.

After the children of Israel entered the promised land, six cities were set apart as cities of refuge. These were conveniently located, three on each side of the river Jor-dan. Joshua 20:2, 7, 8. The roads leading to these cities were always to be kept in good repair, that the one fleeing before the aven-ger of blood might not be hindered in his flight. Deut. 19:3. The cities were on ele-vated gi ound, and could be seen at a distance.

Assured of a Just Hearing

When the murderer reached the gate of the city of refuge, he declared "his cause in the ears of the elders of that city," before a place was given him within. Joshua 20:3-5. His case was also tried by the judges of the city near where the murder was committed; and if it was not a premeditated murder, but the deed had been done accidentally or un-intentionally, then the guilty man was restor-ed again to the city Of refuge whither he had fled. Num. 35:12, 24, 25.

His Sojourn in City of Refuge

The Saviour refers to this judgment in

Matt. 5: 21. If at any time the slayer pass-ed outside the limit of his city of refuge, his life could be taken by the avenger of blood, "because he should have remained in the city of his refuge." Num. 35: 26-28. The decree was, He shall dwell in that city, . . . until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return . . . unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled." Joshua 20: 6.

Cities of refuge in Israel were far different from the as3la of the Greeks and Romans, which often served as a protection for the most profligate characters. The cities of refuge served as a protection for only those who had slain a person without enmity. The cities of refuge were cities belonging to the Levites, thus those confined within were under the best influence. They were associ-ated with the religious teachers of Israel, and had every opportunity to reform their lives and establish righteous characters.

Light of the Broad Day

The instruction in regard to the cities of refuge was but a part of the great system of Levitical laws and ceremonies that taught the simple truths of the gospel of Christ. Tyndale says that "while there is a 'starlight of Christ' in all the Levitical ceremonies, there is in some so truly the 'light of the broad day,' that he can not but believe that God had showed Moses the secrets of Christ and the very manner of His death before-hand." Dr. Adam Clarke says the whole

gospel could be preached from the particulars given of the cities or refuge.

Every time an Israelite looked upon one of the cities of refuge, God designed he should be reminded of Christ, the "Tower of the flock, the Stronghold of the daughter of


Zion" (Micah 4:8), to whom every sin-bur- dened soul could flee for shelter.

Securely Sheltered

Satan, the accuser, is upon the track of every one. He as "a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8. But the person who forsakes sin and seeks righteousness stands securely shel-tered by the atoning blood of Christ. Ex. 12:13; 1 Jnhn 1:7, 9.

Solomon, who was beset by temptations and sin, understood this when -he wrote, "The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe." Prov. 19:10. David knew what it was to

well in the antitypical city of refuge, when he said, "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust." Ps. 91:2.

There could be no delay in seeking a city of refuge. As soon as the murder was com-mitted, the murderer must flee at once. No family ties could hold him. His life depend-ed upon his speedy flight to the city. 0 that all might learn the lesson, and instead of delaying, and trying to quiet our accusing conscience, when we know we have sinned, flee at once to Christ, confess our sins, and dwell in the refuge Christ has prepared! He has made ample provision that all may "have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us." Heb. 6: 18.

If We Abide in Him

Anciently the one who had fled to the city, found life within its walls, but death awaited him if he passed beyond its boundary. The beloved disciple was familiar with this truth when he wrote: "This is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is

in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life;

and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." 1 John 5: 11, 12. It is not suffi-cient simply to believe in Christ; we must abide in Him if we ever hope to obtain eternal life. God has promised to "hold thy right hand." The one who abides within the

refuge will feel and know His sheltering

care, and when assailed by the enemy, may hear the Saviour saying, "Fear not; 1 will help thee." Isa. 41:13.

Continued Abiding and Constant Protection

In ancient Israel, the one who had fled for refuge could not spend part of his time out-side the city, and the remainder within its sheltering walls. There was no safety at any time outside the city. Likewise, our only safety is to dwell "in the secret place of the

Most High," and "abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Ps. 91: 1. "No man can serve two masters." Matt. 6: 24. We can not-give the world and its pleasures the best of our time and thought, and hoped to be sheltered from the final consequences of sin. We will receive our "wages," or final reward, from the master we serve. If the best of our life is spent in service of the world, we place ourselves outside the antitypical city of refuge, and will finally receive the "wages," death, which will be given every one who takes the world as his master. Rom. 6: 23.

When the high priest died, those who had fled to the cities of refuge during his term of office could return to their homes. They were free forever from the avenger of blood, and he could no longer harm them lawfully. Num. 35; 25.

They Typified the Christ

Every high priest was a type of Christ, our High Priest. The earthly priest ceased to be high priest when he died. Our High Priest never dies; but the time will come when He will lay aside His priestly robes, and clothe Himself in a vesture upon which will be written the name, "King of kings, and Lord of lords." Rev. 19: 16.

No longer will He plead the cause of His people before the throne of God, for each case will have been decided for eternity. To those who have confessed every sin, and re-mained cleansed by the blood of Christ, He will say, "Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Matt. 25: 34.

They will then go to their own inheritance, with no fear of the avenger of blood; for the righteous wtll be forever beyond the power of Satan. Jer. 31: 16, 17.

An Ever-Secure Refuge

Satan has usurped authority over this world. He haunts the steps of every son and daughter of Adam. But God always has had a refuge in the earth. Abel dwelt securely within its sacred precincts (Heb. 11:4), and Job realized its sheltering power when Satan assailed him with his fiercest temptations. Job 1: 10.

The weakest child of God who lives con-tinually within this refuge, can never be overthrown by the enemy of souls; for the

angels of God encamp around such a one, to deliver him. Ps. 34: 7; John 10: 29.

This refuge is illustrated by many symbols throughout the Bible, each one revealing some special feature of God's protecting care. esus, as He wept over :those who had re-

fused His love, said, "How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!" Luke 13: 34.

Happy is the soul who can say, in every time of temptation: "Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth." Ps. 124: 7, 8.

BY MRS. E.

THE scripture which above all others bad been both the foundation and the central pillar of the advent faith, was the declara-tion, "Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed." Dan. 8: 14. These had been familiar words to all believers in the Lord's soon coming. By the lips of thousands was this prophecy repeated as the watchword of their faith. All felt that upon the events therein foretold

G. WHITE

depended their brightest expectations and most cherished hopes. These prophetic days had been shown to terminate in the autumn of 1844. In common with the rest of the Christian world, Adventists then held that the earth, or some portion of it, was the sanc-tuary. They understood that the cleansing of the sanctuary was the purification of the earth by the fires of the last great day, and that this would take place at the second


advent. Hence the conclusion that Christ would return to the earth in 1841%

But the appointed time had passed, and the Lord had not appeared. The believers knew that God's word could not fail; their interpretation of the prophecy must be at fault; but where was the mistake? Many rashly cut the knot of difficulty by denying that the 2,300 days ended in 1844. No rea-son could be given for this, except that Christ had not come at the time they expected Him. They argued that if the prophetic days had ended in 1844, Christ would then have re-turned to cleanse the sanctuary by the purifi-cation of the earth by fire; and that since He had not corm, the days could not have ended.

To accept this conclusion was to renounce the former reckoning of the prophetic periods. The 2,300 days had been found to begin when the commandment of Artaxerxes for the restoration and building of Jerusalem, went into effect, in the autumn of Li C. 457. Taking this as the starting-point, there was perfect harmony in the application of all the events foretold in the explanation of that period in Dan. 9: 25-27. Sixty-nine weeks, the first 483 of the 2,300 years, were to reach to the Messiah, the Anointed One; and Christ's baptism and anointing by the Holy Spirit, A.D. 27, exactly fulfilled the specifica-tion. In the midst of the seventieth week, Messiah was to be cut off. Three and a half years after His baptism, Christ was cruci fled, in the spring of A.D. 31. The seventy weeks, or 490 years, were to pertain espe-cially to the Jews. At the expiration of this period, the nation sealed its rejection of Christ by the persecution of His disciples, and the apostles turned to the Gentiles, A D. 34. The first 490 years of the 2,300 having then ended, 1,810 years would remain. From A.D. 34, 1,810 years extend to 1844. "Then," said the angel, "shall the sanctuary be cleansed." All the preceding specifica tions of the prophecy had been unquestion-ably fulfilled at the time appointed.

With this reckoning, all was clear and

harmonious, except that it was not seen that any event answering to the cleansing of the sanctuary had taken place in 1844. To deny that the days ended at that time was to in-volve the whole question in confusion, and to renounce positions which had been establish-ed by unmistakable fulfilments of prophecy.

But God had led His people in the great.

advent movement; Hi, power and glory had attended the work, and He would not permit it to end in darkness and disappointment, to be reproached as a false and fanatical ex- -citement. He would not leave His word in-volved in doubt and uncertainty. Though many abandoned their former reckoning of the prophetic periods, and denied the correct-ness of the movement based thereon, others were unwilling to renounce points of faith and experience that were sustained by the Scriptures and by the witness of the Spirit of God. They believed that they had adopt-ed sound principles of interpretation in their study of the prophecies, and that it was their duty to hold fast the truths already gained, and to continue the same course of Biblical research. With earnest prayer they re-viewed their position, and studied the Scrip-tures to discover their mistake. As they could see no error in their reckoning of the the prophetic periods, they were led to ex-amine more closely the subject of the sanctu-ary.

In their investigation they learned that there is no Scripture evidence sustaining the popular view that the earth is the sanctuary; but they found in the Bible a full explana-tion of the subject of the sanctuary, its na-ture, location, and services; the testimony of the sacred writers being so clear and ample as to place the matter beyond all question. The apostle Paul. in the epistle to the Hebrews, says: "Then verily the first cove-nant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the

candlestick, and the table, and the show-

bread which is called the sanctuary. And


after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the holiest of all; which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the cove-nant; and over it the cherubim of glory shad-owing the mercy-seat." Heb. 9: 1-5.

The sanctuary to which Paul here refers was the tabernacle built by Moses at the command of God, as the earthly dwelling-place of the Most High. "Let them make Me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them" (Ex. 25: 8), was the direction given to Moses while in the mount with God. The Israelites were journeying through the wil-derness, and the tabernacle was so constructed that it could be removed from place to place; yet it was a structure of great magnifi-cence. Its walls consisted of upright boards heavily plated with gold, and set in sockets of silver, while the roof was formed of a series of curtains, or coverings, the outer of skins, the innermost of fine linen beautifully wrought with figures of cherubim. Besides the outer court, which contained the altar of burnt offering, the tabernacle itself consisted of two apartments called the holy and the most holy place, separated by a rich and beautiful curtain, or veil, a similar veil closed the entrance to the first apartment.

In the holy place was the candlestick, on the south, with its seven lamps giving light to the sanctuary both by day and by night; on the north stood the table of showbread; and before the veil separating the holy from the most holy was the golden altar of incense, from which the cloud of fragrance, with the Prayers of Israel, was daily ascending be-fore God.

In the most holy place stood the ark, a chest of precious wood overlaid with gold, the depository of the two tables of stone upon which God had inscribed the law of Ten Commandments. Above the ark, and forming the cover to the sacred chest, was the mercy.seat, a magnificent piece of work-

manship, surmounted by two cherubim, one at each end, and all wrought of solid gold. In this apartment the divine presence was manifested in the cloud of glory between the cherubim.

After the settlement of the Hebrews in Canaan, the tabernacle was replaced by the temple of Solomon, which, though a perma-nent structure and upon a larger scale, observ-ed the same proportions, and was similarly furnished. In this form the sanctuary ex-isted—except while it lay in ruins in Daniel's time—until its destruction by the Romans, in A.D. 70.

This is the only sanctuary that ever ex• isted on the earth, of which the Bible gives any information. This was declared by Paul to be the sanctuary of the first covenant. But has the new covenant no sanctuary?

Turning again to the book of Hebrews, the seekers for truth found that the existence of a second, or new-covenant sanctuary, was implied in the words of Paul already quoted: "Then verily the first covenant had also or-dinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary." And the use of the word "also" intimates that Paul has before made mention of this sanctuary. Turning back to the be-ginning of the previous chapter, they read: "Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an High Priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; a min-ister of the sanctuary, and of the true tab-ernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man." Heb. 8: 1, 2.

Here is revealed the sanctuary of the new covenant. The sanctuary of the first cove-nant was pitched by man, built by Moses; this is pitched by the Lord, not by man. In that sanctuary the earthly priests performed their service; in this, Christ, our great High Priest, ministers at God's right hand. One sanctuary was on earth, the other is in heaven.

Further, the tabernacle built by Moses was made after a pattern. The Lord direct-


ed him, "According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it." And again the charge was given, "Look that thou make them after their pattern, which was showed thee in the mount." Ex. 25: 9, 40. And Paul says that the first tabernacle "was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices"; that its holy places were "patterns of things in the heavens"; that the priests who offered gifts according to the law, served "unto the example and shadow of heavenly things," and that "Christ is not en-tered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true: but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us." Heb. 9: 9, 23; 8: 5; 9: 24.

The sanctuary in heaven in which Jesus ministers in our behalf, is the great original, of which the sanctuary built by Moses was a copy. God placed His Spirit upon the builders of the earthly sanctuary. The artis-tic skill displayed in its construction was a manifestation of divine wisdom. The walls had the appearance of massive gold, reflect-ing in every direction the light of the seven lamps of the golden candlestick. The table of showbread and the altar of incense glitter-ed like burnished gold. The gorgeous cur-tain which formed the ceiling, inwrought with figures of angels in blue and purple and scarlet, added to the beauty of the scene. And beyond the second veil was the holy shekinah, the visible manifestation of God's glory, before which none but the high priest could enter and live.

The matchless splendour of the earthly tab-

ernacle reflected to human vision the glories

of that heavenly temple where Christ our

Forerunner ministers for us before the throne

of God. The abiding place of the King of

kings, where thousand thousands minister unto

Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand

stand before Him (Dan. 7: 10); that temple,

filled with the glory of the eternal throne,

where seraphim, its phining guardians, veil

their faces in adoration, could find, in the most magnificent structure ever reared by human hands, but a faint reflection of its vastness and glory. Yet important truths concerning the heavenly sanctuary and the great work there carried for ward for man's redemption, were taught by the earthly sanc-

tuary and its services.

The holy places of the sanctuary in heaven are represented by the two apartments in the sanctuary on earth. As in vision the apostle John was granted a view of the temple of God in heaven, he beheld there "seven lamps of fire burning before the throne." Rev. 4: 5. He saw an angel "having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne." Rev. 8: 3. Here the prophet was permitted to behold the first apartment of the sanctuary in heaven; and he saw there the "seven lamps of fire" and the "golden altar," represented by the golden candlestick and the altar of incense in

the sanctuary on earth. Again, "the temple of God was opened" (Rev. 11: 19), and he looked within the inner veil, upon the holy of holies. Here he beheld "the ark of His testament," represented by the sacred chest constructed by Moses to contain the law of God.

Thus those who were studying the subject found indisputable proof of the existence of a sanctuary in heaven. Moses made the earthly sanctuary after a pattern which was shown him. Paul teaches that that pattern was the true sanctuary which is in heaven. And John testifies that he saw it in heaven.

In the temple in heaven, the dwelling place of God, His throne is established in right-eousness and judgment. In the most holy place is His law, the great rule of right by which all mankind are tested. The ark that enshrines the tables of the law is covered with the mercy seat, before which Christ pleads His blood in the sinner's behalf. Thus is represented the union of justice and


mercy in the plan of human redemption. This union infinite wisdom alone could de-vise, and infinite power accomplish; it is a union that fills all heaven with wonder and adoration. The cherubim of the earthly sanctuary, looking reverently down upon the mercy-seat, represent the interest with which the heavenly host contemplate the work of redemption. This is the mystery of mercy

into which angels desire to look,—that God can be just while He justifies the repenting sinner, and renews His in - ercourse with the fallen race; that Christ could stoop to raise unnumbered multitudes from the abyss of ruin, and clothe them with the spotless gar-ments of His own righteousness, to unite with angels who have never fallen, and to dwell forever in the presence of God.

Two Things That We Have Heard About Job

W. A. SPICER.

"YE have heard of the patience of Job," says James 5: 11. Yes, everybody has heard of it. For these thirty centuries, Job has been set forth as a remarkable example of patient endurance.

But there is another thing that we have heard about Job. We have heard of his trials. In fact, had it not been for the trials of Job, we should never have heard of the patience of Job.

Job's Patience a Fruitage How often have we felt, in trial, that but

for these difficulties and perplexities, and nagging perversities of conditions, we might hope to have some of that patience of Job! But as a Matter of real Christian philosophy, Job's patience was the fruitage of his trust in God amidst the trials.

The apostle says, "Tribulation worketh patience." Rom. 5:3. Only as we lay hold of this truth will we be able, with the apostle, to "glory in tribulations also."

Of one thing we may be sure, and that is that in the trial, the Lord Jesus draws closer

than ever to His child. It is in suffering and in waiting that He proves His fellow'hip with us in the very weakness of our human need. "In all their affliction He was af-flicted," says the prophet concerning the journeyings and trials of the children of Israel in the wilderness. Christ walks through the furnace with His own.

Marvels of Patience Predicted Of the remnant church —that is, the church

of Christ in the very last days—it is writ-ten that they must meet the special wrath of Satan because of their loyalty to the com-mandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Rev. 12:17. Yet of this same remnant people of Gad it is spoken by the prophet, who in vision saw them bearing their winess against apostasy, and enduring the scoffs and scorn of the world, "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Rev. 14:12. Out of the last days will come the experience of patience for those who keep the faith firm to the end.

THE WITNESSING OF GOD

X. His Two-fold Witness Regarding Israel According to the Flesh

THIS infallible witness of God is not con-cerning a teaching, a city, a law, or a person, but a people,—a continuous people, among whom is found both prediction and fulfilment, hut so far apart, so separate in time that there could be no human connivance or collu-sion between them.

It is manifestly impossible to treat at length the great mass of detail prediction and fulfilment. General statements concerning events conceded by all must suffice.

First, then, we note the promises and pro-phecies to the great father of the Hebrew people, namely Abraham. (See Gen. 12: 1.3; 13: 14-17; 15: 5, 6, 13 21; 17: 1-8; 22: 16-18; et al.) God called Abram from all that was dear,—country, kindred, and home, to go to a strange land of which Abram was afterward to learn and to receive. There God promiF;es to make of him a great nation, and to make his name great, and that in and through him should all the families of the earth be blessed. Abram went forward trust-ing God under various testings. God con-firms him with a covenant, and changes his name from Abram to Abraham; tells him that no adopted son, but one of his own blood, should be his heir through whom the promised Seed was to come; that that seed should be numerous; that it was early to

become afflicted; that four hundred years would pass before deliverance came (the first promise dating thirty years earlier); and that after that Abraham's descendants should receive the Land of Promise from the river Euphrates to the river of Egypt; that they should dispossess certain named nations, some of whom, if not all, were stronger than the Hebrews.

Time and Territory

All these were clear, distinct, specific promises and predictions concerning Abraham and his descendants. Both times and terri-

tory are named, the time when they should be delivered from Egypt, the territory they were to possess, though they were to meet numerous foes.

The time passes. Abraham dies, Isaac dies, Jacob dies, the twelve patriarchs die. One of them, Joseph, exacts a promise that his body should be taken to the Promised Land when the time came, thus recording his faith. Gen. 50: 25.

Dynasties changed in Egypt. The Chosen People became a nation of ignorant, idola-trous slaves, but God does not forget His promise. "And the sojourning of the child-ren of Israel, while they sojourned in the land of Eeypt and the land of Canaan, was four hundred and thirty years. And it came


to pass after the four hundred and thirty years, all the forces of the Lord came forth out of the land of Egypt by night." Ex. 12: 40, 41, Septuagint. The sojourning in-cluded both lands. In our common versions we are told in verse 41: "And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt." Thus explicitly does God remember the time of the promise.

The Land

The great God leads His people through a man•devouring wilderness for forty years,—a forty years' course in higher education. By miracle and wonderful manifestations of power He preserves them, until at the close of forty years they enter the Promised Land and begin to possess it. The transgressions of Israel restrained God's working until we reach the days of Solomon. Then the pro-mise predicted as foretold in Genesis 15, is recorded, from "the river Euphrates" "unto the border of Egypt." 1 Kings 4: 21.

Nay, more, the very nations whose lands were promised to Abraham are noted in the fulfilment. Though the Hebrews by backslid-ing had utterly failed and were thrown into captivity, yet one of their number in the most solemn of discourses—earnest prayer—sets seal to the promise of God: "Thou art Jeho-vah, the God who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chal-dees, and gayest him the name of Abraham, and foundest his heart faithful before Thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amo-rite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and tbe Girgashite, to give it unto his seed, and hast performed Thy words; for Thou art righteous." Neh. 9: 7, 8.

Thus is definitely recorded hundreds of years after the promise was given, the fulfil-ment of the territory to be possessed by tbe literal seed of Abraham. But from the days of Solomon onward, that nation begin to depart from God. They utterly refused to

meet the conditions which the Lord laid down so explicitly in Deuteronomy 27 and 28. By every effort that Divinity could use to move upon their heart to accept Him, God sought to save His people. And so it is recorded: "And Jehovah, the God of their fathers, sent to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending, because He had compassion on His people, and on His dwell-ing place: but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of Jehovah arose against His people, till there was no remedy." 2 Chron. 36: 15, 16. Then came the Babylonian captivity. All this is ex-pressly foretold in the prophecies of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, even the very period of time that the Jews themselves should remain cap-tive to Babylon,—seventy years. Jer. 25: 11, 12.

At this time there were two great powers in the earth in whom Israel, turning from God, had trusted at different times. The one was Chaldea on the north, and the other Egypt on the south. Nebuchadnezzar, the nighty general, had swept over the smaller nations, and was on his way toward Egypt. Nation after nation had yielded to his yoke. Israel vainly thought that Egypt would help them. Numerous false prophets rose up against Jeremiah, accused him of a lack of patriotism, told him that he was weakening the hands of the men of war, endeavored to make the people believe in every way they could that Egypt would come and rescue them; but steadfastly Jeremiah tells them that they must yield to Babylon, and although Babylon should be so defeated that they had nothing but wounded men among them, yet the wounded men would take Jerusalem.

The Captivity and Restoration

The fulfilment came as the prophet de-clared, and also the restoration at the end of the seventy years, as we learn by the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Then God stirred up Cyrus, the king of Persia, to relieve the Jews and restore them to their own land.


Clearly, definitely, according to His promise ways in which it has been fulfilled. From in Isaiah 44 and 45, God fulfilled to that the time that the Romans scattered the Jews people just what He had declared. into slavery, and put so many of them to

in Deuteronomy 28, was under the Romans. Jews have had fulfilled in their own Its fearfulness is foretold with an exactitude experience the predictions of God's that is amazing. Leviticus 26 covers prac-tically the same ground. If they would obey the commandments of God, God would make them the head and not the tail, as they were in the days of Solomon; if they disobeyed, their enemies would rise up against them, and they would be smitten before them. They should come against them from one way, and should flee before them seven ways. Cursing and discomfiture and rebuke would be upon them. The pestilence would cleave to them. Consumption and fever and inflammation and sword and blasting and mildew should pursue them. Their dead bodies would be food for all the birds of heaven, and unto the beasts of the earth. There should be none to frighten them away. The diseases of Egypt from which He had saved them would again come upon them. Their wives and sons and daughters would be taken captive. They should become an as-tonishment, a proverb, and a byword among the peoples whither Jehovah should lead them away. Their cities should be besieged in all their gates, and the high and fortified walls in which they had trusted would come down. Nay, more, they would be brought to that condition that they would eat their own off-spring in the straitness of the ,,iege. They would be scattered among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth, and there serve other gods. They should find no ease, and there should be no rest for the sole of their foot. All these are told with wonderful detail in Deuteronomy 28, and we need not mer tion the various

word. Another strange thiog about these pre-

dictions is this, that in all their apostasy they preserved the word of God. The testimon y of the prophets was written among that people, held among that people, and yet their superstition was so great that while they per verted God's word by their traditions, they did not assume to change the word or destroy it. Consequently they themselves were the depositaries of the predictions which were fulfilled in their experience. Wherever one goes, wherever one meets the Hebrews to-day, they are an ineffaceable evidence of the truthfulness of God's word. They admit it to day. The old wailing place by the wall of Jerusalem, where may be found every day Jews from various parts of the world mourn-ing the destruction of Jerusalem, praying for a time of restoration—there is the fulfilment of God's word.

The first witness is scattered all through the prophets, from Moses down: the second witness has been demonstrated in the ex-perience and history of the Jews from the days of Solomon to the present time. Why should we doubt God's word? In the face of all this evidence, what are the puny theories of men that would rise up to dis-count its marvellous truth? It is that upon which the devout soul can rest and not be afraid. For the same God that uttered the predictions against sin has also given the promises to those who are righteous. And that righteousness in our Lord Jesus Christ is freely offered to all.

painful and distressing disease known as neuritis. Alcohol is also a common cause of various forms of spinal disease, all of them more or less fatal.

Alcohol encourages disease by lowering vitality and weakening the natural resistive forces of the body. Alcohol encourages sickness and disease and opens the door to all sorts of infections. Furthermore, the alcoholic patient always suffers more serious-ly from sickness and disease than the ab-stainer. He has less chance of recovering; his convalescence is prolonged; and he is in greater danger of developing serious compli-cations.

Alcohol Shortens Life It must be clear to anyone that the degen-

erative influences of alcohol upon the vari-ous organs of the body must accelerate senile change and thus hasten on old age. If we turn for a moment to the experiences of some of the leading insurance societies we shall see clearly that the moderate drinker is not nearly as good a life or likely to be as long-lived as the total abstainer. According to the experience of the United Kingdom Temperance and General Provident Institu-tion which was founded in 1840 the annual death-rates among abstainers from 25 to 60 years of age is on the average 40 per cent. lower than among the non-abstainers. If we take three of the leading temperance life insurance companies we find that "the deaths among the Abstainers, as compared with Non-Abstainers, were 24 per 100 `expected' fewer in the Sceptre, 26 per 100 in the Scottish Temperance, and 27 per 100 fewer in the United Kingdom Temperance and General."

We are not surprised to learn that one of the leading insurance companies is able to give an abstainer aged 30 the same low rate that he would be entitled to if he were a non-abstainer aged 24. In specific figures this means that the annual premium for an assurance for , -1,000 for a man aged 30 would be L-20 9s. 2d. while for the non•ab-stainer the average preminm would be L24

7s. 6d. for the same age and amount, a very considerable difference.

Alcohol and the Faculties of the Mind

With scarcely an exception the faculties of the mind are more or less deteriorated by the influence of alcohol. 1 he powers of concentration are lessened by its use, and we need not hesitate to say that alcohol is an enemy of the best brain work.

As regards memory the pernicious effect of alcohol is no less marked. Scientists who have made a careful study of the matter have come to the conclusion that the memo-ry is obscured and weakened by the use of alcohol and that it gradually becomes less and less accurate.

Alcohol clouds the mind and militates against the nicer discriminating powers of judgment, thus blunting the reasoning powers and hindering sound conclusions. A man to do his best reasoning must avoid alcohol.

We have all seen the pernicious influence of alcohol on will power. The control of both the bodily and mental activities is more or less diminished. The higher inhibitory influence of the mind enabling one to resist foolish and hurtful desires and lusts is grad-ually weakened and finally destroyed. A man ur der the influence of alcohol is no longer the master but has become the slave. He has abdicated his position as captain of his ship and has become a mere stoker.

Alcohol and Virtue

When it comes to those highest qualities of the human mind, sympathy for the suf-fering, pity for the fallen, and magnanimous charity for all, then who will say that alcohol encourages these virtues? Love of wife and children, compassion for the weak, and a keen desire to reach out a helping hand to one and all in distress—these are not the cha-racteristics of a man under the influence of alcohol, even although he may be a strictly moderate drinker. We affirm without hesi-tation that the use of alcohol has a tendency to make either man or woman less charitable, and more selfish, arid when it is used to


excess then we need not point out the neg-lected home, the heart-broken mother and wife, and the hungry ill-fed children of the drunkard. Alcohol certainly does have a blunting influence upon the higher moral faculties and in extreme cases the ultimate effect is to impair and finally to destroy them.

Medicated Alcoholic Beverages

What we have said regarding plain alcoholic drinks applies with still greater force to so called medicated wines and simi-lar preparations, all of which are a veritable snare and delusion. The impudent and astounding claims made on behalf of these preparations are so obviously misleading and false that we wonder how anyone can pos-sibly believe them and be deceived. We should be getting the truth if these claims were exactly reversed and the statement read "A's wine enervates" instead of the blatant untruth "A's wine invigorates"; or, "B's wine weakens the heart" instead of the obvious falsehood, "B's wine strengthens the heart." No wine, or any other alcoholic beverages, medicated or unmedicated, ever invigorated the body or strengthened the heart. The alcohol merely acts like a .cruel whip applied to a worn out jaded horse, and increases instead of diminishes the danger of a fatal breakdown. The advertising claims made on behalf of medicated wines are alto-gether fallacious and dishonest.

Not Tonics, But Depressants

To claim that because the wine contains a small fraction of meat extract it is a food tonic is simply a fallacious pretence. It is a fact that most of these medicated wines con-tain as much as or even a larger percentage

of alcohol than the plain wines, as will bp seen from the following statistics;—

Do not fail to notice the almost negligible proportion of meat extract contained in these medicated wines. And bear in mind, too, that meat extracts are stimulants rather than foods, as they possess but a trifling amount of real nourishment.

Unfortunately many innocent and unwary people are deceived by the claims made on behalf of medicated wines and are induced to take them as tonics and for their supposed medicinal effects without realizing the large p ntentage of alcohol which they contain. It is unnecessary to state that in many cases the craving for alcohol is soon firmly estab-lished and there is an ever-increasing use of these medicated alcoholic preparations which is doubtless the desire of the manufacturers. Suffice it is to say that they are, one and all, intoxicating stimulants and more dangerous even than the more plain wines. Our tem-perance workers would do well to emphasize the fact in all their public efforts and to give more attention if possible to these pernicious preparations in their literature.

HOME AND YOUNG FOLK

HOW THERE CAME TO BE EIGHT

THERE were seven of them, maidens in their teens, who formed one of those blessed Do-Without Bands. It was something entirely new, this pledge to "look about for opportunities to do without for Jesus' sake;" but they were earnest Christian girls, so they organized with enthusiasm. Their first doing without was in their first meeting. One of the seven, Maggie, was honest enough to say, when the question was mooted as to whether they would have a silver or a bronze badge, that she ought not to afford a twenty. five cent one. So the others decided to choose the bronze, which was only five cents, and save the twenty rents. And they had $1.20 to begin with.

Alice is rich. Her self-denial reached in many directions. She often went without ruching, and wore linen collars. She bought lisle thread stockings instead of silk. She mended her old gloves, and went without a new pair. She made thirty-five-cent em-broidery answer when she had been used to paying fifty.

Carrie is moderately wealthy. She never indulges in silk hosiery nor high-priced em-broidery. She used the buttons on an old dress for a_new one, bought just half the usual amount of plush for the trimmings, and did without flowers on her hat,

Elsie never used expensive trimmings or feathers or flowers. She was a plain little body, but she did enjoy having her articles of the finest quality. So she bought an um-brella with a plain handle instead of a silver one, and a pocketbook which was good and substantial, but not alligator, and walked to school when she used to patronize the horse

cars.

Confectionery had been Mamie's extrava-

gance. Once a week she went without her accustomed box of bonbons, and sometimes bought plain molasses candy instead of cara-mels, and saved the difference.

Peanuts and pop corn are Sadie's favour-ites. And as she began occasionally "to do without" these, she wag surprised to know, by the amount she saved, how much she had been spending.

Lottie went without tea and coffee and sugar, and her mother allowed her what she thought they cost. She enlisted the sym-

pathy of the family, and persuaded them to go without dessert one day in the week.

All this and much more these young girls did, not without some sighs and some strug-gles that first month; but it soon grew easier to do without for Jesus' sake.

I think their history would forever have remained unwritten but for Maggie, the youngest and poorest of them all. Her dress was plain, even to poverty. Fruit was a rare luxury on her table. Ruching and embroi-dery and fancy trimmings were not so much as thought of. She did not drink tea or coffee. As the days wore on, her heart was heavy; for there seemed absolutely no oppor-tunity for her to do without, even for Jesus' sake. As she looked around her plainly furnished room, she could see nothing which any one would buy. Occasionally her mother had been used to give her a penny to buy a doughnut to eat with the plain bread-and-butter lunch she always carried to school. But the times seemed harder than usual, and there was no opportunity to deny herself even in the cake.

A copy of the missionary paper came to Maggie's home. Alice had given a subscrip-tion to each of the bind. The child's heart ached as she read the pitiful story of need in the homes so much poorer than her own; and


going to her room, she knelt and asked the Father to show her so Tie way in which she could sacrifice something for him. As she prayed, her pretty pet spaniel came up and licked her hand. She caught him up in her arms and burst into a flood of tears. Many a time had Dr. Gaylord offered her twenty-five dollars for him, but never for a moment had she thought of parting with him. "I can-not, darling, I cannot," she said as she held him closer. His name was Bright, but she always called him darling. She opened the door and sent him away. Then she lay on her face for more than an hour, and wept and struggled and prayed. Softly and sweetly came to her the words, "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son." She stood up. "1 suppose he loved his only Son better than I love my darling. I will do it," she said. Hurriedly she called Bright, and went away. When she came back, she held five new five-dollar bills in her hand. She put them into her Do-Without envelope and sent them to the band, with a brief note. She knew she could never trust herself to go and take the money. The girls might ask her where she got so much.

Three days went by. Maggie was strange-ly happy, though she missed her little playmate. The fourth day good old Dr. Gaylord called. He had wondered if it was extreme poverty that had forced the child to part with her pet. Maggie never meant to tell him her secret, but he drew it out of her in spite of her resolution. He went home grave and thoughtful. In all his careless, generous life he had never denied himself so much as a peanut for Jesus' sake.

"Come here, Bright," he called, as he entered his gate. Gravely the dog obeyed. He was no longer the frisky, tricky creature Dr. Gaylord had always admired. He miss-ed his little playmate.

The next morning when Maggie answered a knock at the door, there stood Bright, wriggling, and barking, and wagging his tail.

"My darling!" was all the child could say ac with happy tears she scanned the note Dr. Gaylord had fastened to his collar. It

read:—

"MY DEAR CHILD: Your strange gene-rosity has done for me what all the sermons of all the years have failed to do. Last night, on my knees, I offered the remnant of an almost wasted life to God. I want to join your band, and I want to begin the service as you did by doing without Bright. He is not happy with me. God bless the little girl that led me to Jesus."

So that Do-Without Band came to number eight. Every month Dr. Gaylord sends his envelope, and his doing without usually amounts to more that their doing without all put together. And Maggie's Bible has a peculiar mark at Ps. 126: 6. She thinks she knows what it means.—Mrs. A. C. Morrow.

A SON OF TO-DAY

MR. NEWVILLE was a widower about forty years of age. His wood and machine shop employed fifteen men, and it was the best-managed shop of a small town in one of the iron regions of western Pennsylvania. His chief pride consisted in managing well his little shop and in giving the right training to his only child, Harry, a boy of twelve. Mr. Newville's knowledge of books consist-ed principally of reading and writing, and mechanical drawing, which he had picked up in connection with his business. He possess-ed what may be called the gift of authority among men, and directed his workmen with little friction. He had gained a good reputa-tion in his little town for resourceful inven-tion and public-spirited courage by the skill with which he had saved a town bridge from being carried away by an ice float one winter.

Mr. Newville took great pains to impress upon Harry's mind lessons of honesty, polite-ness; and respect for older persons. While Mr. Newville was yet a boy, his father and his mother had had no higher ambition for


her son than to see him make his way in the world and help provide for the family. His religious training, therefore, had been neg-lected, as had his other education. What re-ligious knowledge he had was gained outside of his home. Mr. Newville, not being satis-fied with the maxim of many parents, 'What is good enough for me is good enough for my children," resolutely tried to do for Harry what his own mother had failed to do for him.

At the age of twelve, Harry was able to enter high school. He was quick to learn, and never disappointed his father's hopes in his studies. When Mr. Newville's neighbors blamed him for teaching his boy to be a gen-tleman while his father stayed in the shop early and late, he would say, "I have suffer-ed too much from my own ignorance to make of my son an ignoramus." The father enter-ed heartily into all his son's work at school. Harry looked up to his father as his tutor, with filial respect. He would often come to him at night and say, "Papa, I can't work

this problem; can't you help me a little?" Mr. Newville was never too busy to assist Harry, and usually he was able to solve the problem of a high school boy, though he had never gone above the seventh grade in school. The father's proud and tender smile would light up his honest face at such times. It was a pleasant picture to see father and son working together for hours, completely absorbed and entirely contented, during the long winter nights. After their work they never failed to read some portion of Scrip-ture before retiring. The fervent petition of the father was no more touching than the simple prayer of the son as they knelt

together.

But a change soon came. Harry finished high school with honours that brought delight to his father's proud heart. It had long been decided that Harry should attend college and take a course in engineering. It was a great trial for both to break up their companion-ship. The night before Harry was to leave for college, he took care that it should be

spent with his father. It was touching to see the affectionate deference of the one and the tender dignity of the other. Mr. New-ville said, with tears of mingled joy and pain: "Harry, you have never disappointed your old father; do your best in college, and I shall be satisfied." And Harry could only mutter, with choking sounds, "Papa, I'll do my best." Such love and affection are their own reward.

Four years passed, and Harry returned home a changed boy, now almost a man. Among the best in the entrance examination, he came to the end of his course at the head of his class. He was soon counted among the most distinguished engineers anywhere in the surrounding country; but he was not the joy and pride of his father's heart any longer. He came home only occasionally, and then more by chance than to visit father. His success and the praise of his chiefs, to-gether with the slavish admiration of the people of his town, had turned his head.

He scarcely returned home before he wished to reform everything on the place. The word carpenter over the door wounded his vanity. Under the pretext of making some repairs he removed it, and it was not replaced. Mr. Newville reminded Harry, kindly but earnestly, that he had forgotten to replace his sign. Harry replied with a learn-ed air, "Father, that doesn't look profes-sional." The father bit his lip and was silent. He suffered the pain that a gentleman would

suffer at seeing the arms removed from his escutcheon; but he quietly drank the dregs of his delusion. The working clothes of Mr. Newville humiliated his son; he wanted that old workman to throw away the companions of his toil and array himself in some kind of gentleman's costume. But this time the father stood erect in his working clothes, the pride of his life, and decisively replied, "Ah, my son, that is going do far! I'll never do that." He was gloomy, silent, and regretful. Tears were at the depths of his soul, but he did not show them.


Harry's attitude toward his father added to the latter's bitterness. He was not a bad son. He did not speak harshly nor disre-spectfully to his father. It would be unjust to say that he did not love his father any longer. He loved him; but he rather despis-ed his simplicity and rustic honesty. His father had become to him merely "the old man." One day parental anxiety to keep in touch with his son's progress and to renew their former intimacy, led Mr; Newville to question his son about the latter's studies and duties; but Harry only eluded his question, and derisively smiled as he replied, "My pro-fessional duties are too technical, I fear, father." Again the father's wounded heart endured its pain in silence.

At length the municipality asked for plans from the competing contractors of the dis-trict for the construction of a barrier against the inundations of the river _which passed through the town. Harry Newville sent in a plan, the outgrowth of his first studies in mechanics with his father, which had been of more service to him than his studies in col-lege. His plan was accepted, and the mayor desired to publicly thank the young engineer in behalf of the municipality for his services. One may imagine the effect that this mark of distinction shown to one of its own boys had on the p.ople of the little town. The father was there, but was lost among the spectators; his son, being intoxicated by such honour, never thought to mention him to the mayor.

One of Mr. Newville's friends, however,

disgusted by this neglect on the part of the son, went in search of the old workman and led him, in spite of his protestations, before the mayor, and said, "Mr. Mayor, congratulate also the father, for the son would be nothing without him." But it is to be re- gretted that the son did not redeem this neglect, which might have been excusable under the circumstances, by acknowledging his father's valuable assistance to him. He seemed embarrassed at his father's trade be_

ing so publicly announced, rather than moved to associate him with his own success.

Not long after this the frightful news spread through all the little valley that the river was overflowing its banks above and threatened to sweep away the towns below. There was a search made throughout the whole country for engineers, but they all seemed to be absent. All the men and boys of the little town where the Newvilles lived ran to the principal dike above the town, their only defense. This was the dike that had been built according to Harry's plan. The river, growing and threatening, launched against the levee the debris, the trees, and the roofs that came down in the current, as so many battering-rams. A strong wind twisted and bent almost to the earth the great poplars which had been planted all along the levee. From everywhere came workmen, peasants, and people of all classes, to offer themselves for the common defense. But what could they do? There was no leader, no guide; everybody was paralyzed and despairing.

Soon a group of men, waving handker-chiefs, and tools, appeared, shouting for joy. It was a company from the Newvilles' town, bearing forward young Newville as if from a triumphal victory. At the sound of the word engineer the crowd rushed forward and pre-cipitated themselves almost on their knees before the young man. Some pulled him one way, crying, "Here is the danger!" and others another way, with the same cry. Unnerved and confused by a thousand disorderly cries, he turned pale with fear, not physical fear, but moral fear, fear for the danger of others. Excited by the weight of the responsibility, he ran from one point to another, organizing squads of workmen, but appearing rather to consult them than to command.

The danger in the meanwhile increased. The fissures became breaches. The poplars, shaken by the wind, communicated their motion to the roots in the levee, breaking the soil and undoing all the work of repair. A


piece of the crest of the levee had already been carried away, and ruin seemed certain.

All of a sudden, Mr. Newville, the father, cried out to the workmen, "Fill up the breaches! It is the order of my son!" They hesitated. "Fill up the breaches! It is the order of my son, I tell you! Take your axes, take your mattocks! Everybody to the trees! Cut down the trees!" The men im-mediately submitted to the voice that was able to command, and began cutting down the great poplars. The roots, resettling in their places, served as pillars to strengthen the trembling earth about them. The mass of branches that had been cut off prevented the sides of the levee from falling in. Con-fidence was restored and courage renewed. Everybody was electrified by these two men who encouraged and strengthened each other. That excited crowd became an army of work-men. In three hours all the breaches were repaired, and at sunset, when other engineers arrived, they found the people grouped around their two heroes. The town had been saved.

However, there was something more touch-ing in that scene than the unquestionable admiration of the people for these two men. It was the sight of the father and the son in each other's arms, reunited forever in their old appreciation of each other's true worth, restored by their heroic association in a moment of common courage, peril, and devotion.

That evening a praise meeting was held in nearly all the churches of the valley. It was a sight pleasing to God and men to see Mr. Newville and his son reunited and thoroughly praising God not only for deliver. ing them from great danger, but for restor-ing, by this means, the affectionate relation of father and son, which had been broken for some years. No amount of eloquence could have been so affecting and touching as Harry's stammering and choking effort to confess his fault in the little praise meeting

held in the church to which he had gone to

services since he could remember anything. He thanked God for their deliverance, but he was more thankful, if that were possible, for so noble and generous a father, There are few occasions when such a testimony is appropriate in public, but no one had such thoughts about Harry Newville's testimony that night. The broken sobs and tearful eyes bespoke a hearty response from the people gathered in the little church. The father's only response to this manly confes-sion was heavy sobs of a strong man deeply moved, which expressed better than any words his gratitude to God for such a noble son. That night Mr. Newville and Harry kneeled at their bedside and prayed together as they had not done for several years.

The next day, when the mayor wished to reward the young man for his heroism, it was not necessary for any one to search for his father. 1 t was Harry who, with genuine

pride, brought his father, and said to the

mayor:— "Do not congratulate me; do not reward me,

Mr. Mayor; here is he to whom all honour is due. I understand why, by error, I am accorded this honour; for during the whole time my father was crying out, 'It is the order of my son! Obey my son!' The truth is, Mr. Mayor, I obeyed and he commanded. I had lost my head. The responsibility over-whelmed me. It was he who saved every-thing. If, then, Mr. Mayor, you think my efforts worthy of any praise, reward and congratulate publicly my father, and I shall receive from you the best recompense possible." W. E. HANCOCK.

"THOSE who do nothing to encourage temptation will have strength to withstand it when it comes; but those who keep them-selves in an atmosphere of evil will have only themselves to blame if they are overcome and fall from their steadfastness."

HATPINS

SERIOUS injuries caused by protruding hatpins are compelling the attention of law-makers in various parts of the world. In Austria, women have been convicted and fined for wearing hatpins "in such a manner as to be dangerous to the public." In Mass-achusetts, the house of representatives has voted that the points of all hatpins must he protected. Numerous cities have ordinances regulating the length to which the pin may extend beyond the crown of the hat—although, as one legislator, in discussing the matter, remarked, it matters little to the man who has been poked in the eye whether the hatpin protrudes a half inch or an inch outside the hat.

Perhaps the most tactful and effective way of dealing with the perilous hatpin bas been adopted in Stockholm. The city owns the street. cars; each conductor has been provided with a stock of point- protectors, which he offers at cost price—about a cent apiece—to women passengers whose hatpins appear to him menacing. The women of Stockholm have amiably taken the hint; in one day the conductors sold 6,000 protectors, and now the street-car authorities declare that they have supplied the entire female population of the city with them.

THE IGORROTES OF THE PHIL-LIPPINE ISLANDS

DURING my stay in the Philippine Islands, I spent about a year among the Igorrotes, an interesting people who inhabit the mountain-ous portion of northern Luzon, and are alto-gether different from the more civilized Filipino. There are several tribes of them, each tribe having its own dialect, customs, and habits. They are much darker than the Tagalog or any of the other tribes, and their dress consists of a breech-cloth only.

They never caused the American army any serious trouble, but at certain times they go on a rampage against other natives of the island. In one year nearly one hundred Christianized Filipinos lost their heads at the hands of these savages, hence their title "headhunters."

With all their ignorance, they are honest. Mr. Homer Stuntz, in his book "The Philip-pines and the Far East," relates the follow-ing incident which proves this fact: "I saw an American officer of police hand over five thousand dollars in silver coin to a half-dozen Igorrote carriers, telling them plainly what was in the boxes. He took their rude scrawl of a receipt and let them start off with that specie on their backs for a three days' journey into the mountains. Later I heard that every package came through safe."

They are a hardy people, with wonderful endurance. I have seen them go all day bearing a heavy burden with no sign of fa-tigue. They also possess remarkable con-stitutions, as evidenced by the following: An epidemic of glanders (a disease fatal among cattle, which also can be transmitted to human beings) broke out among the pack- mules used by us to convey rations over the mountains, and many of them died. When the Igorrotes learned of this fact, they asked permission of the officers to care for the carcasses. This was granted. Later we learned that they had eaten the flesh of these diseased animals, and without any apparent evil results. Their diet consists largely of dog meat. It was not an unusual sight to see a great many dogs tied in their villages, awaiting their day of slaughter for food for their owners.

"IT is just ac well to keep your temper under all circumstances; no one else has much use for it, as a rule."


RESUSCITATION CAGE FOR MI NE CANARIES

CANARIES and mice are often used by the men entering a mine after an explosion or fire. These little animals, being more sensi-tive than man to carbon monoxid in the at-mosphere, will give quick indication of the presence of this deadly and odourless gas.

Usually, in the past, the canaries or mice have been taken into the mine in ordinary cages, but since the use of a canary or mouse so carried is entirely lost if it is once rendered unconscious and cannot be quickly taken to the surface or to a part of the mine where the air is fresh, a special cage has been de-signed which can be made air-tight, and which is provided with a supply of oxygen. If the canary or mouse has not been exposed to too deadly an atmosphere, the closing of the cage and the flow of oxygen will result in an immediate revival. E ccess pressure of the oxygen upon the canary is prevented by

means of the escape vent that is located at the top of the cage near one of the rear

corners.

The small oxygen cylinder also serves as a

handle for the carrying of the cage.

PNEUMATIC CAR BUFFER THAT SLIDES

THE distinctive characteristic of this pneu-matic car buffer, in comparison with the ordinary railroad bumper, is that it is not stationary. It is attached to a section of inverted U shaped rail 106 feet long, with tapered ends. The whole contrivance simply rests on the track rails. When a train runs on to this rail section and hits the buffer, the air cushion absorbs the initial shock and the whole apparatus slides until the train's mo-mentum is overcome by the friction of sliding rails with track rails.

Should a train run "wild" into a terminal station that is equipped with this buffer, it would shove the buffer back on the platform, with the weight of the engine and tender resting on the sliding friction rails.

NOTES

A CHURCH organ has recently been made in Belgium which is composed entirely of paper, the pipes being rolls of cardboard. The sound is sweet and powerful.

A CALCULATING machine that adds, multiplies, divides, and subtracts is in itself of mtp•li interest, but the most novel characteristic of this machine is that it is electrically operated. This does away with the turning of a crank and a lever.

ICELAND, one of the few countries which have not been penetrated by the railway, is now to have a railway some sixty miles in length. Hitherto all land journeys in the island have been made on horseback. There are said to be no highways even in the inhabited districts.

AN English consular report states that a large portion of the 334,000,000 needles import-ed into China in 1910, were planted in plaster

in Chinese houses, with the points out, to prevent crows, birds of ill omen, from settling upon the Chinese characters which stand for good luck.

ACCORDING to the Scientific American it takes about one year to build a torpedo, and then it will cost £1,000. Its explosion will take but a moment, and then all this time and money is blown away to get the opportunity of striking an enemy, or a supposed enemy, a death blow in the darkness.

A NEW island, about 100 feet high and five miles in circumference, was recently born in

the Bonin group, off the coast of Japan. This little stranger appeared during the late activity of the Fuji volcanic system. More than fifty islands have appeared during the past century, and nineteen of these are now inhabited.

M. Dos NE has invented a method for record-ing radio-telegrams. He first substitutes for the telephone receiver of wireless telegraphy a sound amplifier, and then connects this with the "receiver" of a Poulsen telegraphone. In this manner the microphonic current serving to convey the reinforced sounds arrives with all its variations to a bobbin of fine wire in the centre of which is a pen of soft iron in contact with a rotating plate or travelling band of steel. The variations in the magnetisation of the soft iron pen leave a sort of magnetic writing on the steel plate which has the pro-perty, when it is afterward passed under the iron pen which wrote it, of provoking a repeti-tion of the original signals in the connected telephones.

,At The Outlook tAt CATHOLIC CONTROL OF THE PRESS

IN AMERICA

THE advancement made by Roman Catholi-cism in the United States is so great as to give occasion for serious concern on the part of those who still hold to the principles of the Reformation. There is a growing conviction that the great news agencies in the Republic are passing more and more completely under the influence of Romanism. Regarding this the "Western Recorder" ( Baptist) of June 4, 1914, says :—

"We feel assured that few of our people realize the degree of subserviency of a large number of our daily papers to papal opinion.

"It is a Net, and the rank and file may as well know it first as last, that the columns of many of our secular papers are no longer open to anti-Catholic views. During the last Jew months a number of Protestant speakers have been beaten and wounded by Catholic mobs, yet but little or no notice has appeared in the press dispatches of these outrages. Surely it should be a matter of news and comment when, in this land of supposedly free speech, a speaker is knocked down while delivering a patriotic address, or left naked and wounded to die by the roadside.

"It is also true that the doings of Catholic dignitaries are heralded far and near by the Associated Press, whale Protestant perform-ances receive comparatively scant attention. Why should this be? Is it because Catholics constitute a majority of our population, or control the wealth and industries of our people? As a matter of fact, there are approxi-mately five. Protestants to every Roman Catholic in the country.

"We shall not have to seek far for an expla-nation of this condition of affairs. Catholics have been cradled in the idea of unquestioning obedience, and henee can be counted on to act in concert when commanded by the priest. Therefore a threatened boycott upon the part of Catholics is taken quite seriously by the secular press. Protestants, and especially Baptists, are more Independent in both their thinking and acting, and hence no one has the right to speak for them on questions of policy or expediency."

The editor of the "Northwestern Christian Advocate," in the issue of that paper for June 17, 1914, expresses the same conviction. He says:

"We make the assertion without fear of successful contradiction that the press of America is in large measure controlled by Rome. There is not a newspaper in any great centre that would dare print the news facts about Rome. The scandals of Protestantism are seized with avidity, while the shortcomings of Rome never see the light."—Selected.

THE WORKING OF HIGHER CRITICISM IN JAPAN

THE Friends of the "Higher Criticism" are always telling us how much it enhances for them the value of the Bible; that instead of being destroyed, their faith is rather helped and uplifted; but when it is tried on those whose mental and moral habits are still in process of formation, the "Higher Criticism" proves itself the deadly foe of faith. Mr. Paget Wilkes has told how It operates in Japan in his book -Missionary Joys in Japan." He writes :—

"Not many years since I became acquainted with a young European resident in Japan. He was very earnest, self-sacrificing, and devoted in his efforts to lead men to Christ, both Japanese and •foreign.' I knew of none more wholehearted in the service of the Lord. To-day he never attends a place of worship. and has given up all his work for Christ. Meeting him not long since, I inquired of him with some care. Attendance at a leading Japanese church, where modern theology is taught, disabused his mind, he said of all such narrow religious notions as he formerlrheld. He had no more interest in religion, and I fear Christ is now nothing more to him than a name. He himself attributes his 'fuller light' to his acquaintance with modern criticism. A mis-sionary told me quite recently of one of the leading and most earnest young men of his church. Desiring to be trained as a worker, he was sent to -- Theological School, where advanced Biblical criticism is taught. Within a year he had left convinced that there was nothing in Christianity after all, and the last I have heard of him is that he is dying of con-


sumption, without God, without Christ, and without hope in the world

"Not long since I net a graduate of another theological college, where criticism of a mode) ate order is presented to the student. After finishing his course he was on the point of giving up his intended ministerial work. He did not know that he really believed in anything at all.

"Another who graduated at the some college I knew well before he entered—a bright, earnest soul-winner. He returned home after three years, cold, dead, formal, and unhappy, and it took some years before he regained his zeal and love for the Lord, if indeed he has ever fully recovered it at all.

"In the year 1892 there was an unusual work of grace on the Pacific coast of U.S.A. amongst

the Japanese. Some of those who are to-day the most spiritu.l leaders in Japan were saved at that time. Among them was a man remark-ably converted, whom it was soon evident that God had chosen as a special instrument. He was much used of the Lord in America amongst his own nationals, until some years later he returned to Japan. Here he was ap-pointed English teacher in a large mission school. Almost at once a revival followed ; both teachers and students were convicted of sin in no ordinary degree. Many wer con-verted and saved of the Lord. His trees ap-pointment was to a pastorate of a country church. He had not been here long before all his old fire and evangelistic zeal had disap-peared.

"It appeared that after leaving the mission school for his new pastorate h" was induced to read books of modern criticism, in the hope, we presume, of making himself more intellec to Illy fitted for his task. The result was spiritual bankruptcy. The solemn fear of God, the quick sensitiveness to sin, swiftly disap-peared, and he found himself robbed of all life and power. 'Iron may pray for me,' he said to his old friend, 'if you believe in it, but I have given up all that sort of thing long ago,' and so ti,ey parted ; but not before my friend, in the entrance of his house, had got down on his knees and poured out his aching heart for this poor deluded and unhappy soul.

"There is neither spaces nor need to speak of many more who have given up all thoughts of the ministry, and all faith in the Gospel, after g. aduating in theology from a seminary where Higher Criticism is taught and defended."

BAPTISM MEANS IMMERSION

BAPTISM in the New Testament means im-mersion, says Dr. Campbell Morgan in "West-minster Pulpit" :—

"There is no question at all that baptism in those days meant immersion. This is not open

to question. I t may be said that the form matters nothing, that it may be that of sprink-ling water upon the person or, in the fashion of the Greek Church, of pouring water upon the person, or that of immersion. If we think we are wiser than those first Christians, I do not object. I affirm unhesitatingly that the original word means immersion. I affirm that in order to point out that the symbol which Jesus commanded was a symbol suggesting death unto life. In the whelming beneath the waters we have the symbol of death. In the emergence fu om the waters we have the smbol of life beyond the death, resurrection life. I

say again, whether the form can be changed I will not discuss. I have no quarrel with those who think it may, but I do affirm that for my-

self I prefer abide by the primitive rite in the old and simple form. Seeing that the Lord did leave with us who hear His name only two simple rites or ceremonies—that of His table and that of baptism—I prefer to follow His command accordin to the earliest method, even though others may he perfectly justified in changing the form."

Whether anybody could he "perfectly justi-fied" in departing from Christ's simple com-mand concerning baptism, and spoiling the beautiful lesson to which the rite, as He gave

it, calls attention, is a matter for the Master Himself to decide. It is not for the servant who has disobeyed to pronounce himself justi-fied.—Present Truth.

POLICEMAN FINNEGAN AND THE HIGHER CRITIC

IN a recent number of the San Francisco Chronicle there aopea ed a pungent satire on the arguments of Dr. Aked and other higher critics. We quote in part :

"'The arduous labors and researches of other great scholars beside meself,' he says. 'has dis-covered that the Bible seldom means what it says,' says he. 'It is, indeed, a grand an' bless-ed book, full of truth an' wisdom, though at times,' he says, 'carelessly assassinated by the seventy, a lamp to our feet an' a guide to eternal life; an' barrin' a few thousand inac-curacies, such as the story of creation, an' the fall of man' says he, 'an' the account of the re-surrection,' says he, 'an' a few similar slips of


the, inspired author's pens, there is nothing in this blessed an' inspirin' Volume which the most devout Christian can not believe.'

"'It is not only us ministers of the gospel who are interested,' he says, .in maintainin' an' upholdin' the authority an' integrity of this blessed Book,' says he, from which we derive so much, sustenance, but the laymen also. Every man an' every woman should make it their first care to cultivate an implicit faith an' trust in the word of God, properly explain-ed.' he says, 'by them who knows what it means when it says things' says be, 'which don't mean what it says. The cultivation of a deeper faith in the truths of this inspired Volume,' he says, 'is materially assisted by scientifically provin' that much of it is unreliable an' more of it ex-

.,,

tremely doubtful unless it is teed with reverse English.

" I feel that me work in defendin' this bless-ed Book against scoffers, doubters, an' infidels is indeed a happy task, an' I shall always be found ready to explain, alter, amend, or defend the absolute integrity an' authority of the in-spired Word. For, as I have said,' says be, 'barrin' the mistakes, myths, folk-lore, an' fables, an' such interestin' but unreliable fictions as the stories of the creation, the Flood, the fall of man. the redemption, an' the resur-rection,' be says, 'an' the existence of a per-sonal devil,' says he, 'an' the reality of heaven an' hell, and' the trinity of the Godhead, an' a few triflin' misconceptions of similar nature mistakenly held,' be says, 'by the prophets, evangelists, an' apostles,' says he, 'there is not a word between the covers of the blessed Bible which may not be accepted with perfect trust an' savin' faith, alike by the humblest Chris-tion an' by the most expert higher critic,' he says."

"It must have been a convincing talk," said the water-front reporter.

"It was," replied Policeman Finnegan.

LIFE SECRET TOLD LONG AGO

lit big head-lines it is announced that Dr. Jacques Loeb, of New York, has succeeded in ra sing frogs by artificial means. The news article declares that the learned biologist has demonstrated "that animal life can be develop-ed without the agency of the male sex"; that in his recent book it is averred that he and a colleague, Dr. Bancroft, "raised fully developed frogs from unfertilized eggs."

But this was not done chemically. The &ctor took the unfertilized eggs of a frog, pricked through the surface layer, and injected

a tiny drop of frog's blood. The eggs developed tadpoles, and the tadpoles became frogs.

The cola blooded visible frog was excellent for such experiment, for normally the eggs of the female frog are deposited in the cold water, to be visited later bv the male and fertilized, showing a remarkable tenacity of ltfe in the male agency. But the fertilizing life fluid of the frog is produced from the blood. We may well believe that its elements are all in the blood, though less intensified. It would not, ther fore, be remarkable if the less intense life fluid of the blood, coming into such direct con-tact with the egg, should be able to fertilize it, when the more intense life fluid is able to do it under conditions far less favorable.

The experiment of Dr. Loeb demonstrates again the t-uth of the Bible, written three and one half millenniums ago, that "the life of the flesh is in the blood" (Lev. 17 :11) ; "flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof" (Gen. 9 :4 ). The Creator made the blood the carrier of life to all the organs of the body. There may be intermediate agencies between the supported organ and the life-blood ; but Dr. Loeb has passed over all intermediate agencies, and brought direct contact between the blood and the egg waiting for life. D-. Loeb has not created life; be has made a discovery of what inspiration long ago revealed.—M. C. 'Wilcox.

IS THE WORLD GROWING BETTER?

WE have recently had two challenges, on the part of readers of this magazine, to the teach-ings uttered by Associate Editor Tait that the world is not growing better, nor merging into a millennium of peace and righteousness. One of these letters came from a freethinker, we take it ; the other from a minister of the gospel. Both teach practically the same thing,—that the world is growing better and better. Awful conditions in the world are ignored, er glossed over, as having no hearing on the case; and we are put down as being stupid not to be able to see the great progress everywhere prevalent.

Over and over again we have admitted that there has been a great advancement in know-ledge, in science, in mechanics; but we have asserted that there is no corresponding ad-vancement morally, and we are not alone in this. Hundreds of the best thinkers in the world say it. We might quote page after page, in this magazine, from prominent men of thought in the world, in science, in business, in the church, who say just as much.

But the real answer to this question will not be found in the opinions of men—for one man


thinks his opinion is as good as another's—but from the Bible. What does it say? Now the message is very clear from the sacred pages. In the second chapter of Daniel we have a pro-phecy of the world from Nebuchadnezzar's time until Christ takes up His kingdom and rules over the earth in peace and righteousness, and we are told that that kingdom is thus ushered in : A stone was cut out without hands, and smote upon the feet the image represent-ing the kingdoms of the world, and broke them in pieces. So completely did it do this work that the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer thrashing-floors, and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them; and the stone that smote the image became a mountain and filled the whole earth. This is interp-eted to mean that the kingdom of Christ shall destroy, not convert, the kingdoms of the world. "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed : and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall RREAK IN PIECES and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand

forever." Verse 44. We are told that it will break in pieces and

consume all these kingdoms. Could anything be plainer? We have a similar prophecy in the second psalm, where the kingdom of Christ is promised, and that when Christ thus takes the nations for His inheritance and the earth for His possession, He will break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Is not the teaching plain enough, clear enough? Is it to be spiritualized away, and its evident destructive power minimized !

Paul wrote to the Thessalonians in his first epistle, of the resurrection and the coming of

Christ. 1 Thess 4 : 13 ; 5 : 1-11. From this they gathered that Christ was about to come, that He would come in their day. In the second epistle he corrects this, and tells them not to be led to think, "either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hond." He tells them that one great event must take place before Christ could come, an event that had not yet taken place ; that there must be the great falling away, that the ii an of sin might be revealed, the son of perdition. And when this terrible manifestation of lawlessness bad been revealed, then would Jesus conie. And hP tells us that this coming of Jesus is immediately after "the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceit of

urrighteousness for them that perish." Now here Is the plain statement that there will be an awful working of Satan just before Jesus comes, and that thou-ands will be deceived, and that Christ will come afterwar 1 to put to an end this working of error. And we are told that "evil men and seducers shall wax worse, deceiving, and being deceived." 2 Tim. 3:13. We are also told that "when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction

cometh upon them, . . and they shall not

escape." 1 Thess. 5: 3.

And our last citation—which is not all that

might be brought forward, but enough—is from the words of Chri•t Himself; and that is that when Christ's coming is near, there will rise false christs and false prophets, who will teach false ideas with reference to the coming of Christ, so that they will deceive, if it were pos-sible, even the very elect. And we are told that when the sign of the Son of man does appear in heaven, "then shall all the ti ibes of the earth mourn." And we are told that as it was in the days of Noah, when the Flood came and took away the unbelieving and ungodly ones, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. And we are told that when the Lord does come, and finds evil servants, He is going to cut them asunder, and appoint them their portion with the hypocrites. Matthew 24. And a picture is given of the great men of the earth, and what they will do when the awful revelation of Christ's coming bursts upon their view:

-And the kings of the earth. a"d the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every freeman, bid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great

day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" Rev. 6 : 15-17.

And Rev. 19:11-21 shows us the n titude of Christ toward the nations of the earth, and the awful opposition they N ill be putting forth

against Him and His kingdom in that terrible

time. Now these evidences are final. They show us

that while many will give allegiance to Christ, and will be loyal to Him. the great world will be where it always has been, in direct opposi-

tion to God, and that friendship with the world will still be, as ever, enmity with God (James

4 : 4), h lid that all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the

vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away." 1 Jot n 2 : 16, 17.

How a minister of the gospel, or anybody else, can read out of these solemn scriptures the great final conversion of the world, the great dawn of peace, is beyond our conception. They can not believe the Word as It reads, and teach any such millennial dreams.

SITUATION IN ALBANIA

Ma. Lucien Wolf, in the Graphic, strongly recommends international intervention in Al-bania :—

"Europe has taken Albania into her keeping, and she is responsible for the destinies of the State. She cannot shuffle out of her obliga-ion, and since the men, money, and brains for the adtquai e discharge of them cannot be found elsewhere, she mu•t supply them. There is really no alternative except anarchy in one form or another, and that would prove much more costly to Europe in the long run than directly intervention now.

"Of course, the present scheme would have to be abandoned. There must be no more Chris-tian princes brought in from outside without the genuine consent of the people, a d no pretence of imm-diate self-government. The expedient of a prince 11- s been discredited, and it is futile even to talk of self-government to a people who have yet to learn the first princi-ples of orderly government, and who, as they are at present advised, have no respect for any-thing except force. The appearance of Europe at Durazzo in the tangible form of a High Commissioner—preferably a distinguished sol-dier—backed by an effi •ient international force, would act like a charm."

"The insurgents, who for weeks have been beleaguering Durazzo, have now sent an ulti-matum to the Pow-•rs, demanding the surrender of the capital, and the removal of the Prince of Wied," says the Telegraph. 'They threaten in the alternative to attack and destroy the town."

Food for Thought

There is food thought in

the fact that physicians tell

us that the vast majority of

people in moderate or affluent

circumstances eat too much;

that white flour products are

at least in part to blame for

the prevalence of cancer,

owing to their lack of mineral

salts; that tea and coffee are

stimulants only, not foods.

And there is food both for

the mind and for the mis-

treated or overtaxed body in

the foods offered by the

The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan during the

Christian Dispensation. By Mrs. E. G. White. This volume presents the most intensely interesting history that has ever been written of the great conflict be-tween Christianity and the powers of darkness, as illustrated in the lives of Christian martyrs ano reformers on the one hand, and wicked men and persecut-ing powers on the other. Beginning with our Lord's great prophecy, given while viewing Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, this hook outlines the history of the whole dispensation down to the time when "sin and sinners are no more ; God's entire universe is clean ; and the great controversy is forever ended."

Poi' PII's X died on the 20th of August. The knowledge that Europe was plunged into war is said to have hastened his death. During his last moments he said, "The end is approaching. The Almighty in His inexhaustible goodness wishes to spare me the horrors Europe is undergoing. In ancient times the Pope could

have stayed slaughter : now I am powerless."

Cardinal Sarto ( Pope Pius ) wasof humble birth and gained his successive steps of advancement by dilligent study and untiring zeal and devotion for his Church. He was a re-lentless foe to Modernism, and believed it to be one of the most dangerous agencies to undermine faith in the Church of Rome. He placed its writings under ban, and excom-municated the leaders. Perhaps the most im-portant event during his pontificate affecting the church was the denunciation by the French in 1905 of the Concordat, which had been in force since 1802.

For the election of a successor the Concleave of Cardinals took the first ballot September 2, and on the following day elected Cardinal della Chiesa who took the title of Benedict the Fifteenth. Before his election to the chair of St. Peter the present pope was Archbishop of Bologna. Strange to say he was only appoint-ed cardinal May 23rd of this year. He is said to be one of the most able writers of the Church of Rome and so will be a worthy successor of Benedict XIV (1740-1758) who was a disting-uished scholar and fluent writer. The first

Benedict was pope from 573 to 578.

"PUNCTUALITY is the road to both human and heavenly friendships. To meet a person who is always punctual, the feeling at once obtains that he is to be trusted."

"ALWAYS remember that unless you can offer a remedy it is best not to criticise."

THE TEMPERANCE SPECIAL.

We are putting forth earnest efforts to have this number so full of good, earnest messages in behalf of Temperance that it will have a far wider circulation than our previous, 1913, annual. We would be happy to enlist the active co-operation of our readers to this end.

Among the excellent articles will be,

"Rum and Home," Illustrated Poem ; "A Bloody Monster," Illustrated ; "Sermon at a Drunkard's Funeral," Illustrated ; "The Old Temperance Lecturer ;" -The Spider Web," Illustrated Poem ; "Cigarettes and Manhood ;" "The Boys and the Turtle," Illustrated ; "A

True Story ;" "My First and Last Smoke ;" etc.

These are but a few of the titles in this ex-cellent number. It will be full from cover to cover, and the illustrations are as numerous and as striking as the reading matter. Last year we received many words of commendation for our special number. It found friends every-where. This year's issue will be stronger. better, and more attractive than that of 1913.

In your city or community are hundreds of young men, both European and Indian, who need to have impressed upon them, the evils of intemperance, to be warned concerning this great danger to the young. And in their youth is the opportune time. Do you not wish to bring a temperance message to them? Any reader of THE ORIENTAL WATCHMAN who desires to so help will receive the active co-operation of the publishers of this paper. We have made special rates for just such labours of love. Write us about it.

In 1913 ten thousand copies of the Special Temperance Number were circulated in India

and Burma. Any great issue, such as Temper-

ance, requires constant, persistent, and increas-ing effort. For 1914 we hope to double or treble the circulation. The message of the 1914 Annual is purely temperance, an effort on our part to provide ammunition for prosecuting a vigorous campaign against the evils of the liquor traffic. We want not only your sympa-thetic interest, but your active co-operation. Let us all do something in making Temperance more and more a living issue.

Rates in quantities may be obtained by writ-

ing to this office direct, or we would be glad to have you come into touch with the provincial secretaries of the Watchman Temperance League. Addresses given on request.
