As today is the last Sunday of the old car, it seem"? fitting that wo should give n little time to some practical thoughts on the closing of a yeart This may be tho last year which some of us may see lraw to a close. How bliall wo close this one, saved or unsaved Perhaps omo of our scholars promised God and promised themselves at the bngluning of the year that they would give heart and llfo to leius Christ; but the days and months have passed away and tho promises have not been kept. Many must s,ay, "Tho bar 's est is. past and the summer Is ended," nnd I am not buved. How impiessivo tlio thought of a dying ear. Opportunities, jidvantages. blessings gono forever.

They fait under two heads six of them tt eating of Joshua, and the others of tho Judges. A complete study or even read ing of the two booRs fiom which the les sons were taken would show an Intimate rolatlon, tho one nanatlvc gliding nntur nllv into the other with but a slight bteak. Tho gteat captain, tho successor to Mos.es, prepared tho way for u pure theoeiaoy, which after his docoase was but imperfectly realized, chiefly because the peoplo wcie not fitted for It, Their contact with the native? of the land tend ed to diminish their loyally to Jehovah, while their ttibal system affoided only a weak bond of union. t FIRST LHSSON.-Oct. 5, "Joshua Kn- couiaged," Joshua, i, 1-11. God spoke, di icctly to Joshua as He had done with his illustrious predecessor. Tho scope of tho divine address briefly outlined the duty and polity of tlio new leader, and mav bo named In a few points: 1, The call to cross the Jot dan and enter Canaan. 2. Tho now bestowal of the country with prescribed boundtuios, as it was given centuries before to Abraham. 3. The con dition of ownership conquest and posses sion, 4. Tho promise of vlctoiy over the Inhabitants of the land because of the dl vlno presence, the one sure support. 5. Tho chat s;o to be strong and courageous. C. The ditcctlon to meditate in the law. SKCOND LKSSON.-Ocl. .'. "Closing the Jot dun," Josbtia, lit, fl-lv. 7. Tito pioinpt response of Joshtu to the Loid's Instinct-Ion levealed his charaotct a? wor thy of the trust committed to him, de sciiblng the mode of tho crossing, and appointing twelve men, one out of each ttlbe, to mako a memorial of the event. Tho complete fulfillment of his word showed that ho had indeed heard the ice of God. The aik, borne by piiests, was eatrled to the middle of the stream, and thorp held until Israel had passed over. Then the twcho representatives of the tiibes took each a stone upon his shoulder and bore It to tho west side. TIHRD LESSON.-Oct. 10. "The I'all of Jeilcho," Joshua, vi. 8-20 Very soon af ter the ctossing a remailja'blo event showed not only the mode of conquest, but also the picsence of God with tho, people. Israel was led to the plain near ono of the best fot tilled cities of the land. a btionghold supposed to be impiegnable. If it could be taken every heart would be made ready lor any subsequent attempt. But the l eduction of tho cltv was to be accomplished In such a manner as to convince all that it had not been dono by the milium- power of Istaol, but by the interposition of the Almighty. A proces sion moved seven times, around the place and on the seventh round a groat shoi't was made and the walls fell down flat. FOURTH THSSON.-Ocl. L, "Joshua and Caleb," Joshua, Mv, 5-1 j When the spies wcie sent out to view the land, by the dhection of Moses, two only returned with a good lpport. having laith in God. While the other ten perished in the wil derness dm lug tho wandering, these two faithful souls wcie rewatded by balng permitted to enter tho piomised land. The conquest having been completed an al lotment of tho territory to tho tribes ap propriately followed. Caleb, one of tho spies, of the tribe of Judah, then eighty yeura old, came to his companion anil asked what was piomptly given, posses sion in the southern country. TIFTH I,KSSON.-Xov. B ,' Cities of Refuge," Joshua, xt, 1-9, Tho ptactlce of personal rceuge wus common tluough- out tho ancient world. If one man slew another, the relativis of tho latter were expected to put sue the mm defer and put him to death'. This generally bi ought speedy .mstlco to tho man-slayer and In certain conditions of socloty woiked littlo harm to nny one. But In the settlement of Israel in Canaan a fifed term of gov ernment was established and all lelations in llfo woia regulated by statute. Of eiibes were puulbhablo only by law, nnd that Involved a conviction bctore a com petent tribunal. In electing this change ceitain cities were appointed to which one might flee and await a tiial. SIXTH LESSON. No. !, "Jo.shua's Palling Advice," Joshua, xlv, 11-23. Tho death of a great man Is a serious los.-t, often a calamitv. to a neonle. Joshua had so faithfully dlselmtged the duties of his high oflice, as captain and judge, as to merit and receive tho affec tion of all. With fatherly tenderness when ho was about to depot t ho called a public Bbhombly at Sherhem. and thoio sought to Impiess upon the otllcers of tlio government tho solemn obligations that rested upon them. Ills address called all to four nnd sorvo the Lord, us tho tuuda m.'ntul condition of national piosporlty. Ho loqulied thntii then and there to avow or imiouncc their loyalty to Jehovah, to bo steadiest. Having ho nmrmod this a covenant was inudo. by tho fllldlanltes, a peoplo living In the southeast of Canaan. They were de scended from Abraham by Keturah. It was among them that Moses found an asylum when ho lied from Egypt. (8 odus, 'II, 15.) Later thoy became trouble somo nnd Moses wait commanded, to Btnlto them. (Numbets, :xv, IT,) A war like and wealthy peoplo they became strong: and coveted tho land like grass hoppers, Their exactions of grain and cuttlo Impoverished Israel, and God heard the cry of Ills people and raised tip a de liverer. Yet imposed conditions that clearly moved to alt that the Almighty had wrought against the national, enemy and brought to them security. TENTH LESSON.-Dec. T, "Ruth and Nuoml," ntttli, 1, ltl-2:. A mother-in-law nnd a daughter-in-law, two widows, a Jewess nnd a Aloabltcss, passing through sons boreavoment cling togother nnd make their journey to the old home of the form M Tho other woman out of nffocllon for tho younger, seeks to persuado her to re turn to the land of her fathers, featlne that In Israel who will find littlo comfort. But tho latter could not be persuaded. With remarkable steadfastness she fol lows on, professing personal altncltmclt and confessing the new faith. Tho ar rival at the destination is described In pathetlo terms. Naomi coutiasts hot' ptesonf with her past. ELEVENTH LESSON. Dec. H "The Boy Samuel," T Samuel, ill, t-ll. In tho car 1105 B. C. Eli, a. descendant of Aaron, filled the two oIUccs of high priest and judge In Jiup1. Becauso of tho wicked ness of h(s sons, and his neglect of pa rental discipline, God determined to transfer these governmental functions to another of entirely dlfteront lino. When n mere child, Samuel was brought up by his mother to minister before Eli. Our lesson doscilbcB th manner of his selec tion as successor. It was In the night when a volto called him which he did not at first understand. At the thltd call th boy answered and God delivered the om mlsslon. AVo havs here one mode bv which under the old dispensation selec tion was made of persons for holy ser vice, a mode adopted to secure greater faithfulness in office. 'TWELFTH LESSON. Deo. 21. "Christ mas," Luke, II, S-20. This Is the stoty ot the shepherds doing homage to the tufunt Jesus in Bethlehem. The following points will enable one to recall the entire nar rative: I. The night scene, tlio shepherds with their flocks on the plain. 2. The sudden appearance of the angol of the Loid and the supernatural phenomenon of effulgence. S. Tho speech of tho angel, seeking to allay their fears, and announc ing tlio event of good tidings to bo re ceived witli great joy. 4. Tho declaration of tho birth of tho Saviour, tho Christ, tho Son of David. 15. The announcement of tho manger cradle. 0. The appearance of the heavenly host praising God. 7. The visit of tho shepherds to Bethlehem.- S. The leport given by them to othors. fl. The astonishment fell by all. 10. The si lence of 5Imy. REFLECTIONS. Summni y statements for the several lessons, valuable to ouv time, may bo given ns follows: 1. A good man appointed leader In a great caute will find strength in the word of God. 2. Entrance into new possessions leads often tluough difficulties and God prcpaies the way. 3. The obstacles to success, like the walls of a city, may bo thrown down by tho power that guides a good man. 4. The man of faith may ncd to wait manv years, but ho shall not lose his reward. B. There is a place of tcftiie for even' sinner. 6. The good man's last words nte full of wisdom. 7. The people who forgot God fall into groat tiouble. S. Strong dilnk destroys. 9. God can conquer a mighty host with a few who trust ITIni. 10. One may well surrender a heathen homo for ono with God's people. I J A child may enter God's sot "Ice. 12. Wise men honor Jesus Chi 1st.

Sloinhig, "Tho World That Continued on Page'Ti ' IN "The Feasts of Autolycus" we have this in piaise of the onion: "The seciet of good cookery lies In the disci eet and "yinpathetle treatment ot the onicn. For what cullnaiy mas terpiece is thcie that may not bo Im pioved by it? It gives vivacity to &oup, life to s-auco; it is the 'poetic soul' ot the .salad bowl; the touch of lomance in tho well-cooked t egetable. To It, sturdiest joint and lightest stew, crisp rissole and stimulating stutllng look for inspliation "and chuim and never aie thc-y disappointed. But woe betide the unwaiy woman who would approach it tor sacilleeious ends. If life holds nothing better than the onion In the right hand, It offei nothing sad der and moio degtading than the onion biutalized. "Wide If. thf gulf fixed be tween the delicate sauce ol a Prince de Soublse, and the coarse, unsavory sau sage and onion mess of the stiand." In all the vegetable woild theie aie peihaps none so unjustly maligned, so unfaltly treated, or one that possesses so many medicinal dualities ns this embodiment of giihtionomie virtues. Tine the unadulterated odot Is stiong, ppiiettutlng, and us in the case of our common onion, s-cents the atmospheie even to faukiiess, especially when ued with untrained luvWiness, which eag geiates Its htucs until they become its gravest faults. Do not attempt to cultivate a liking for the onion by beginning with the flavor of gailte, the strongest of the numerous onion family. But train the taste as you would the eye unaccus tomed to brilliancy in coloring, and lead up trom the milder species such an the Spanish onion, which may be likened to soft-toned sru, to the "Ivldly-flayored favorite of Provence. The spit it of the onion, which pervades tho atmosphere so pronouncedly, is due to the volatile oil, the sulphide of aliyl. In cooking, the greater part of this Is driven off; but thete ate other com pounds containing sulphur, which le inaln, so that the quality, which is a stronr; medicinal agent, is not lost. The value of all foods are very great ly detei mined by their flavor. The lood may contain smfllclmit amount of nu trients, but If It posesses little or no flavor, Its value as u. common nitlclo ot food Is lost, Oi-fcans of taste, when inllft notmal, are able, to distinguish u gient number of difl'oient flavots, So sensitive are these organs that they almost Invariably beconin vitiated through constant indulgence, in highly seasoned cookery mid Injudicious uses of condiments and plmiant accessories. Tt Is Just sb possible to milttvate to a very Hun degtefi these sensibilities, us ' It Is to deaden litem, and many flavots i exceedingly distasteful to an Itullvldujl i at fhst, become very pleasant after n ' time. When the food containing then, j Il.ivotH possesses dletatlo value, or tho compound which contalni the flavor - known to he medicinal, tho cultivation I of tim sensory organs concerned in their appreciation should be attended to, in cultivating" the sense of tute one must not overlook the fact that tho Fen ho of smell Is almost fnsepni able from that of taste. Thl Is mado very apparent when the funclloiii of tlio noso me suspended for a time. Slany of oui so-called tastes are l cully the appreciation of odors alone, and others am combinations of liotli taslu and smell. Tho food thut Is enjoyed with the keenest lellah is that which appeals to both. Pepttve meat of Us ilavoilug piopcitles und It will soon be come so distasteful that It will ptodui nausea.

In preparing raw onions for use dletellculiy, they must not be allowed to stand after they are cut as they arc great absorbents nnd also quickly yield their peculiar oils. Thus losing strength and also fur nishing possible agents for transferring disease germs. An old-fashioned remedy for car-ache is well worth remembering when one has the caio of little children, as a few diops of tho juice of a roasted onion will. Instantly relieve the pain, accord ing 'to good authority, as tho sufferer invariably falls into a refreshing sleep and awakes fiee from pain.
