the most bewltchlngly ntttnetivo In the

at SO. Tho English call them huftian

a slow, gliding dance, somewhat like

of the famous plni cloth, having wide,
short sleeves. This is worn loose, quite

ness, bv His words of wisdom which they
understood, by Ills slmpto manner nnd
by His holy living. They received Him
as He was, a King. On tho other hand
the church authorities regarded Jesus U3
their enemy. Because Ho condemned

dominant thought" What do all the les
sons signify to us" Tho working ot the
miracle upon .1 heathen child, the un
folding of tho. future concerning Hlmscif,
tho mountain dltclosuro of the glory of
the wonderful Pet-on, the four teachings
to disciples, tho leccptlon by tho humblo
and rejection by the gieat, tho foimlng
of an Institution to bo a memorial and
bond of union, the bicaklng of death's
chains to the confusion ot foes and the
revival of Ills eai-e. what Is all this bat
true representation of tho Jesus of our
Jiearts In miniature? Power, foresight,
glorv, wisdom, reception, rejection, tri
umph, these uro the elements that en

said:
"Do j 011 see that place, Schley? Go

Schley wont and was hammering tho
fort to bits when his quartet master
lushed up to him and said:
"Captain, the admiral has signalled
us to stop and return to the fleet."
"To with the signal, I won't see
It," answered Schley
Ho kept pounding away at the fort
until It was In ruins Then he returned
to the licet r.in.igut was angiy nnd
summoned him. Reforo all the ofllceis
of the flagship he gave Sc hlev a flerco
dressing down for not obejlng tho 10
call signal.
' I didn't see it," protested Schley.
"You must have shut the eve that
ou put the glass up to," said Far

for his disobedience the admiral took
