I might despair —Tennyson THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON. Fourth Quarter. Lesson XII. December 18, 1904. THE REVIEW OF THE QUARTER. Biography preponderates in the Bible. ‘‘A troop cometh’’ whenever one lifts its lid. Shakespeare only approaches the Scripture in the multitude of characters introduced. They are men, women, and children, from every rank and station— good, evil, and neutral. The whole gamut of human emotion is run, and every con- ceivable experience depicted. Even a superficial reader does not fail to note this striking characteristic. It makes the Bible unique. No one need go far for the reason. The Bible is a handbook for human conduct. Its purpose is to furnish the ethical and spiritual principles of life. It was not written to surprise or entertain--certainly not for revenue or fame. It isa Divine life in the human soul. Itis to reveal God aud at the same time to reveal the life that is pleasing to God. . The Bible is a cabinet of working models. We see in it characters in which the Divine life is exemplified. We see that life in its inception, growth, and consummation, the atility and beauty of it. In this same cabinet we fiud a set of models in which the demon-life is exemplified—all pbases of it—the growth, the inutility and dread denouement. The proverb has it that “‘ex- ample is better than precept.”” On that It is fall of pre- cepts, the categorical statement as to char- acter and conduct. But over against every precept there are a score of examples —the incarnations of precepts. The good for imitation, the evil for avoidance. It is this characteristic which makes the Bible the most serviceable hook in the world. One moment it flashes the green light of safety on the path of youth the next the red light of danger. THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. Exit Elijah. Enter Elisha. The chrono- logical order in which these dissimilar prophets appeared must be remembered. Elijah, the iron flail of Jebovah, came firss and beat down a path through the foul idolism of Israel along which Elisha, the almoner of God’s mercy could walk. It has been so'in the Church from the begin- cing. Controversialists and reformers have opened a way for the patient toilers of the kingdom to follow. The one class is as indispensable as the other. * * * * * That prophet’s widow showed gumption. She did not waste time inveighing against the cruelty of the creditor. The law was on his side. Her appeal was to the chief of the prophetic society. She stated her ‘case and claim clearly, and followed the program to the dot. There was a dash of passion in it, for she uttered (literally) a beart disturbing plea. She was thrown upon her own resources. All she had was just enough inferior oil for anointing her person a single time. But she must use what she bas, not what she has not. She will nos move a hand in disposition of this treasure until she has the prophet’s orders. ‘Satisfy your creditor first” is the direc- tion. Nothing is our own until all debts are paid. * * * * * One pot of oil over against a debt, and that debt large enough to enslave her sons. But no human resource is to be despised. It is the unit which .is to be multiplied. She must also personally use what she has. Even the prophet can not pour out the oil for her. * %* * * * This lovely idyl of Elisha and the Shunammite shines in the troubled stream of public life. We stumble upon the com- paratively small domestic incident in the midst of wars and kingsoraft. Hospitality, contentment, mother-love, bereavement, grief, faith, and importunity,—all are shrined in this story. It casts its light upon the character of the prophet and upon the human life of thirty centuries ago. * ¥ * * * **A mighty man—bnsé.”’ That ‘‘but” is the ‘‘wolf note’’ that destroys the harmony. The meanest Syrian scullion would not have exchanged outicles with Naaman. This little girl did not mope over her hard lot. She showed a cheeiful and helplul disposition. Her contributicn was caught up and woven into the providence of the ages, which is to make God known to man. Help often comes from unexpected quar- ters. It was not the first nor the lass time when a word of wisdom was on the lip of a slave. And when misfortune is revere no advice is too contemptible. * * ¥ * * The slowness of the human heart to ap- preliend-God is further indicated by the next step taken by the Syrian King. He had learned nothing in his failure to cope with the Omniscience of God. He chal. lenges Omuipotence. This effort to arrest the prophet ~ets forth at once the temerity and impotence of the sonl in its fight against God. The timorous servant well ‘| prophets. represents some believers when they find themselves beleagured by temptations and unfavorable conditions. *® * * * * Half measures are usually weak meas- ares. All Acthaliah’s cruelty counted her nothing, because she was not quite cruel enough. If she had killed Jehoiada to- gether with the others, she might have reigned longer. After all, she was too unsuspicions. She left the old high priest in possession of the dilapidated temple. That was her undoing, * * + The temple was an asylum for one boy (Joash). Every boy should have right of asylum in the Church. It should be chief shelter and resort of youth. * * * * * What the Roman Forum is to Rome and the Acropolis is to Greece, the temple is to Palestine. A history of the temple is a history of the nation. Names illustrious and ignoble, deeds valorous and despicable, doctrines of faith and usages of ritual,—allare shrined and exemplified there. It is the epitome of a thousand years. It is no wonder that the repair of such a building became a matter of State, and that the king took personal supervision of it. But the crown was not able as in Solomon’s day, to carry out the enterprise unaided. The co-ope- ration of the people must needs be urged, and there was the reflex advantage inoci- dent to such co operation. * * * * * The very position of Isaiab in the canon is significant. Although written later than others, it yet stands first among the prophecies. Isaiah is easily first of the He is more frequently quoted in the New Testament than all the other prophets put together. Whether every part of the book which bears the name of Isaiah was written by that prophet or not is a curious question which does not bear upon the integrity and usefulpess of the book. There may have been several Isaiahs, as there were certainly several Davids, who joined in writing the Book of Psalms. History of the prophets is ahsorbingly interesting. They make a brilliant galaxy from the Samuel on—men like Othniel,Gideon, and Samson, prophets of the sword,and Hosea, Joel, Amos, proph- ets of the pen. History of prophecy is equally entertaining—the function and pussibility of the prophetic office; how the personality of the prophet is conserved; he is not a speaking tromphet, but a speak- ing man; a seer or seeing man; not so much a mechanical predictor of fu- ture events as a man with a vision of the bearing of current events upon the fu- ture. Vast Riches for Pygmies. Nine Pygmies, who have been objects of universal interest at the world’s fair, de- parted for home, in Central Africa, Satur- day, jubilant in the possession of ‘‘rare,’”’ though not costly. gifts from President Francis, of the exposition. Mr. Francis made a little speech of fare- . ell to the Pygmies. ‘‘You have been with us all summer and we have enjoyed yoar presence,’”’ he said to Prince Latuna, the ranking Pygmy. ‘‘You have added to the success of the exposition.’’ When this was interpreted to them all nine Pygmies grinned and bowed low. ‘‘Now,’’ continued Piesident Francis, “I want vou to take home to your king and queen some little remembrances from me. I also have some little articles for yourselves.” Francis gave the Pygmies for their king a cask of salt which cost $2, and for their que=n a necklace of pearls long enovgh to go around the waist of a Patagonian gian- tess. The necklace cost 50 cents. To each Pygmy he gave a watch fob costing 50 cents and three five-cent pieces for ex- penses incidental to their long journey. The Pygmies could scarcely restrain their desire to express their joy in a dance until th ey bad bowed themselves out of the angust presence with their riches. Discard the Doxology. The doxology has been discarded at the University of Chicago. The faculty has agreed with the students that college songs do more to breed a true religious and col- lege spirit than the chanting of the tenets of Christian belief,and in all chapel services in the junior college the college song, ‘‘Alma Mater,’ was substituted for the doxology. | The gist of the recommendation of the students to the professors was that a col- lege spirit was the aim of the morning chapel services.

C. I. HOOD CO., Lowell, Mass. 49-45 $1,3000 for Old Prayer Book. Thousands of American and European bibliopolists are trying to find out who paid $1,300 for the little, old, worm-eaten, ! time-stained Indian prayer book which was sold at Anderson’s, New York, among the books of the late Bishop John F. Hurst. J. Pierpont Morgan, when asked by a leading hookseller, with whom the financier is confidential, refused to say that he did, and refused to say that he did not buy it. So it will commonly be suppnsed he did buy it secretly. The only other copy of the book in New York is in the Lenox library. The book is the ‘'Indian Prayer Book,’’ printed by William Bradford, in New Amsterdam, in 1715. The volume has been sold several times during the last quarter of a century and the best price ever offered was ahout $50, which was offered by Bernard Quaritch, of London, in 1886. - Most of the hook is in the language of the Mohawk Indians of the last century. It is called ‘‘The Morning and Evening Prayer, translated into the ‘Mohaque’ In- dian Language.” It was the first book printed in the Mohawk language in Ameri- ca. William Bradford printed it at his. shop in Hanover Square, in 1715. Salvation With Food. Fourteen-vear-old Emma, who had come home from her first day’s schooling in ele- mentary physiology, was questioned by her parenss as to what she had learned. ‘‘Papa,’’ she complained, ‘‘T don’t think I like physiology.’’ “Why not,’ my dear ?”’ “Well, teacher was explaining digestion to-day, and she said we had to mix salva- tion with every mouthful of food —Harper’s Weekly. Holiday Goods. The Hert Muscles. It is generally supposed that the heart is an organ which never takes a rest. But this is not so. The muscles of the heart are not incessantly work- ing. The heart contains four cham- bers—two upper, called the auricles, and two lower, the ventricles. In the beat- ing of the heart the auricles first con- tract and force the blood into the ven- tricles; they then relax while the ven- tricles repeat the process. When fol- lows a pause, during which the heart is perfectly at rest. The contraction of the auricles takes one-fifth of the time between one beat and the next, the contraction of the ventricles two-fifths and the pause two- fifths, so that the heart is really rest- ing two-fifths of its time. Sleep also aids in relieving the muscles of the heart, as it considerably diminishes the rapidity of its action. This alternation of rest and activity endows the heart muscles with their capacity for untiring work. Sacred Mountains In Japan. Travelers in Japan are astonished to find the grandest shrines throughout the land situated on the tops of high, precipitous mountains. This is because every mountain in that country is dedi- cated to some deity who is believed to be its guardian. These temple grounds are covered with the oldest and largest forest trees, and to the eyes of the peo- ple below the effect of the clouds which. hover around the peak has originated the belief that the gods hold the power over the clouds to give or withhold —— Holiday Goods.
