The mnKnifloffit temple of Solo mon was not on of the wonder of tho world. It wn it x one solitary wonder; the oni nailnnal houst? of worship cri-rtod on earth for the honor and Rlory of the only living and true God. At Its dedication It stood a sculptured creed, n matchless poem Trozen Into gold and sliver nnd marble n witness rtKiilnxt Idolatry, a warning to Infidelity, a hymn of praise to (!od-. a proof of twin's vis ible consecration t0 His service, ftvery portion of li n saturaied with spiritual tneaniiiK In Its grandly decorous ritual wn an unvarying undertone of tho corn ing sacrltlco.

Kor twenty centuries that temple stood, the silent, eloquent witness of the name and attributes ol (Jod. It was a standing protest ngnlnst Idol atry. When that temple was dedi cated the whole nation assembled to assist In the Joyous service. A stately procession, led by the klnt? himself, attended by princes in robes f state, and priests In How lug n.ir nients of sacred splendor or pure white linen, bearing the ark, ibo sacred symbol of the divine pn. enro. swept up the holy bill of .ion, with songs, and bleu lnr: harmonics of silver trumpets and Iiimi ninieni or music, toward the completed building. One hundred a.i.l twenty priests lirtud up their vol es in the grand Te IVum of the ancient church, Kor He is good: tor His mercy endureth fort ver. Iiescend Ins from his ivory thione. Solomon bowed lie fore that ciatchless aliar and made the praver of consecration a prayer of adoration, confession, supplication and thanksgiving, and at Us conclusion the unswerini: lire, the descending cloud, the glory blled temple, attested the Divine present o anil love Mutely majestic or Hash ing with glory that building was a constant testimony that there is a Father a hove, bending down In ten derness, compassion and sympathy toward tho children of men. ' . Spiritual Temple. Twenty-eight centuries have passed and the temple that Solomon built has perished from thu earth, but In Its place has risen i spiritual temple, the graceful, Invisible, but none the less real, structure of Hie Christian church into which, not the Jews only, but the Gentile world, is steadily flowing. The church In every community embodies and Illus trates the idea of Solomon's temple. That was but a wonderful object les son lifting the minds of the people upward, and every church spire has the same mission. That was to em phasize the need of worship and every sacred edifice teaches the same lesson. The church Is not. primarily a place for the exchange of social sweets In retired corners, nor un timely amusements for the world. nor coquetting with operatic fancies. It Is not a rostrum for political huck sters. nor a public dressing room for vulgar ostentation, nor a platform where brittle cups are tilled with the wine of human eloquence. It is no place for man worship, nor sect pride, nor vain glorious display. It Is a house where "the rich and the poor meet together, the Lord the maker of them all." There should be no footstool for the poor and a soft cushion for the rich. Whether grand cathedral or plain meeting house, the church should be the hos pital for the sick, the training school for the undeveloped, the rcruge for the oppressed, tho home for the homeless. As such the church is wor thy thu respect, the honor, the de vout appreciation or every one who is Interested in his own welfare and that of his fellowmen. fiet In Somewhere. Without at Ibis time expressing any preference one vay or the other, my advice Is to all to Join some church. hook over, the lisi of churches and clergymen, and get in so-aewhete. You aI!I be peculiarly constituted and an unaccountable ex ception If you cannot find one good enough for your soul. Uo not seek for perfection, for if you succeeded In finding it, It would not be so after you had Joined. Keep, if you must, your prejudices against all other In stitutions, but love this one. To some, 1 commend a liturgy; to others. Informal worship. Some will prefer a holy stillness; others bois terous vociferation. There are na ture which abhor racket, and there are other to whom a thunderstorm la a lullaby. Some prefer to be sprinkled; others would be satisfied with nothing but submersion in the Mood. Written sermons suit one class; extemporaneous speech I the only preaching for another clas. (Juartet singing satisfies this one; congregational music Is the only ap propriate form ror that one. Old fashioned doctrles are preferred by one; more conservative utterance are pleaslnu to another. Amid all the denominations there muBt be one plao- where your soul will be blessed.

Orun.l ma. .1 i, of Washington avenue, who was pio bounced out of danger from lot U Jaw, after suffering for almost three weeks, described how lie fell din ing his Illness. "In diagnosing my own sy.mptoms a week after the germs or tetanus had entered my blood, I thought I had the disease, but I was not sure," said Dr. Orundraann. "One day, as I was stepping off a. street car, it started permaturely and threw me on my knee on the street. A hole was ripped In my trousers, and a rash cut In the flesh of my knee. Into which earth from the street was ground. "It gave me no trouble, pained me very little and 1 gave It no fur ther thought. About a wi ek later I found that I had fever and that the muscles of my neck pained roe and were constricted. Next I ob served spasmodic Jerking of the limbs. These I knew to bo premoni tory symptoms of lockjaw. "I was alarmed, naturally, but thought perhaps I might be mistak en, so I visited a physician and told him how I felt. He did not think seriously of the matter, and I be lieved I might have been mistaken, but nevertheless I was worried, and when that night the symptoms grw more pronounced and became more perceptible I watched them nil the more closely. "That night I got a real shock. I observe.! a prowl'u; rigidity of tho muscles of the Jaws. If It kf en they would become locked ieyc nil all hope of unlocking them. "In one day I had fi.000 units, about a Ituld ounce, of Hie strum Injected. My Jnws continued slow ly to grow more H'-ild. but we fought the dlsi ase with the serum until r.t last we saw that we had the disens" going the other way, and we fought It out. "The germs of tetanus tik'v be In any mr.uner of dirt. If you have a wound In your finger nnd go out Into the garden and stick it into the fresh earth you Maud a chance of g"t:ln; lockjaw." itt:i.it;io c. si s i:u i: cikks IN F.YFKY r.'.SF.. ! Kev. Dr. .Mi'WIIIIatns of Cleveland i Says No Case Has llecn a Failure. Cleveland. The Kev. Dr. I. S. McWIIllams, pastor of the Calvary Presbyterian Church, this city, made pu'.illc a statement. In which he de clared that for several months he has had success In healing both the body and mind by religious influence. He set forth that he has wrought cures of serious nervous ailments and dipsomania. In not a single case, It was said, has there been fail ure. "I have wonderfully expanded my sphere of pastoral work by the use of religious therapeutics," said Dr. McWIIllams. "I do not pretend to be a faith healer. Instead, I merely try to make the patient know the power of his mind. I have told all the sufferers who have come to me j about the sub-eonselous mind. I have told him this mind Is a reser voir upon which he may draw. I leatl the patient to see he has been battling against disease with only a fraction of his force. "I have found that the patient best can reach the sub-conscious mind when the conscious mind Is passive nnd quiescent. I Instruct tho patient how to relax thoHR mus cles which have been drawn like tho strings of an overtuned violin. When the sub-conscious mind Is reached 1 suggest Ideas to work against the disease. I would not dare to say I myself know all about this method of treatment; what I do know Is that It has wrought cures in every in stance. The one man who was diffi cult was a drunkard. I treated him twice before going on my vacation, and I have heard he has taken only two glasses of beer since." A lH'FFKU STKII. Victoria (Jovernment Sets Aside l.iind Al ua American lJoundnrv.

This follows an arrange ment with tho United States govern ment by the British Ambassador at Washington. Frequent trouble has been occasioned heretofore by the lack of this buffur strip In the arrest of criminals and In the application of mining and other laws.
