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

a warning to Infidelity, a hymn of
praise to (!od-. a proof of twin's vis

Dedication Cereiiiicies.
Kor twenty centuries that temple
stood, the silent, eloquent witness of
the name and attributes ol (Jod. It
was a standing protest ngnlnst Idol

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

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

ing with glory that building was a
constant testimony that there is a

' . 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.
Find that placend help to perpetu
ate and build up on earth the temple

VICTIM IELLS JOWJOCKJAW FEU
Iortor was Worried When III Vnr:
IlegHU to Stiffen Fought lic:-e
St. LouIb. Dr. F. W. 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."

! 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."

Victoria (Jovernment Sets Aside
l.iind Al ua American lJoundnrv.
Victoria, H. C. The provincial
government has set aside a strip of
L'nd sixty fet wide along the Inter
national boundary line, which will
not be available ror pre-emption,
and on which a ilyrmaneut reserve,
extending to all mining rights, will
be placed. 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. The
United States government also nets
aside a similar strip, and thus th
neutral zone will be 120 feet wl In
