The reception of members Into tills church Sunday was a Joyful event for the minister and members, for It placed Calvary Church at the head of MethodMr. 'n r.-lnt of membership.

Frank Ma son North, of the City Mission, and Tract So-.iety of New York City, and Mr. Williams, the assistant pastor, and oiiicers of the church assisting. In the ftrnoon about ui"l more were com muned. In the eveniug Dr. Cioodell preached on "The Carpenter's Son." The text was from Matthew xiil::!.: "Is this not the carpenter's son':" He said: Out f the doorways of the poor 1 ;onw the men who make the world rich J and (iod walks oftener iu the .inrrow rooms and on the creaking stairs of the little cottages than in the wide, sounding halls of the rich with armor ind pictures looking down. You have seen the home of Burns and Slinks pea re; picture to yourself something as much poorer ns these nro meaner than tlie homes of the newly rich and you may call that the home of u car penter .n Nazareth. They will show you the place with votive offering mil gewgaws In it, but you will say. "So!" and walk out. Find a place where a carpenter is now making an ox bow or a poor man's table and it will be like what He knew, for the men of Nazareth are like all their kin in the East; they change not in a thou sand years. I like to think that for thirty years Jesus knew the narrow ways of a laborer. His trade Tie plied, a carpenter, and built Doors, where folks come and go, unto tun hour, Not. bolting how the hands which wrought then- doors Cnbarred Death's gate bf iove't high sacrifice Tables w hereon folks et their meat, end eat, ileed'era of Who was 'Tread of Life" and gave Such lood thatwhnsocatetli hungereth not. And, iu tlio-e little lanes of Nazareth. K.i'--h morn lim holy feet would come and go While Ue bore plankd and beauid, whose hack must bear The cruel cross. And, then, at evening's fall. Testing trom labor, with tliofe patient feet Deep iu wiiite wood dual, utid tiie long curled shreds Shorn by His plane He would turn inno cent eyes Casing lar past the sunset to that world He came from, and must go to; nigh to Hon Nigh unto us, albeit we see it not, Whereof Lite M tlie curiam, and mute Death Herald anj Doorkeeper. Nazareth was a town in which to talk with t;od. Tl.e great plain before It hail felt His thunderous loot. Tiiero was Cnni.el. where Klijah talked with (iod, in lila in sight. There was Jt-zreel of Ahab and Jezebel. Ther:; wus Ku ilor and Saul and the witch. There was Tabor, lone and majestic, near at band, at.d Ilcrinon for to the north, cloud-nipped and snow-peaked, while lo the Last, hidden behind u dozen miles of nlil and dale, was tiie se.i of (ialileu mother of mv.iioii ami of inir ucles. Io Nazareth He found tlie Il lustrations which make so large a part of His sermons. There was a great day of moil and toll before Him, and here in the cool of tha morning lie must store up the reserve that will take Him on to uwfnl noon at Jerusa lem. It takes a great soul to Hde ills time to get ready for a great net and be patient with the training and tlie slow step of the years. To live with Cod and Iu Him is the main thing after all. He walked those cliffs with no one to look at Him or to wonder at Him prayerful, masterful, patient. Was there ever a better example for ordinary people. It is good for the kurulu" fever of life to look nt Him. The world is too much with us soon and lute. Our home life Is low and sordid. We fret under it. There are too many little tilings to lo. Too much of o" io and too little of outlook. What lire we saying'.' Look at Him, Poverty? Yes. Toll' Yes. Did they who :iw- Him appreciate Him' We Khali see; who was it said: "U not thin tho . urjienter's son '.'" and how did they say if It wan a taunt and sneer. You know now Low He came to say, "A prophet in not without honor save iu his own country." The very men whose house's He hud built were ready to stone Him to death. It has often be-jn so. The men wlio have built the houses that tlie world' thought lives in today were most of them buried in Ignominious graves. Very likely the men you serve may throw atones at you from the vintage wound when) you put thera, but it will be no new thing, to keep sweet about It. He could afford.ro wait HID carpenter bench would jet be toly because lln worked at it, aud the toils U handled would bti held at .be price if n king random. His is the gopel if the mechanic, lie fitted Himself at a rntpetiter's bench to say, "Come unto .Mo nil ye that labor aud are heavy laden and 1 will isive you rest." He hud no vyni julhy cither with the inaa who want more work thi.u ha pays for or the n un who wnilia mo..- pay than he works for, I want you to sea :rou) this Urn that great deeds should go along wltU common life, making it ublln;e. When you read of the great ecouoiuies that ha I to be practiced iu the homes of uch uieu at I'hclrt and Alcott, Haw thortie aud Emerson, yen realise the mhnnlngu of plain living and lilli J thinking. Tuere is toi much logo bv- I ing and meagre thinking. The struggle ufier more siiuiplu ous life than we can afford lakes the strength out of us, ami If we get it it takes the nerve for toil nnd self-denial, which are only other names for victory, nway from us. Our impatience takes away our capacity and love for toll, and we are miserable and useless. Be happy In n humble home. You will never have to live so cheaply at did Jesus. Then make up your mind to work. Jesus the Carpenter taught us the dig nity of toil. He made tlie saw aud the plane ns truly the ensign of n noble life ns the fasces or the toga of tlie Itoman. There Is an evangel of toil. Tho shuttle and the line, the saw ami the reaper hnve a message which the world must hear. Tlie workers make life glorious, tlie shirkers make It de testable. "My father worketli hither to and I work" was the challenge of the Christ to every Indolent nnd care less soul. Virgil sings of men and nrms. but the song of to day Is a song of men and tools. I have a Saviour who wrought the hot day through. 1 can taik with Him of quivering palm and throbbing limbs and a fainting heart and He will know. You cannot Imagine Hint ns making a poor Joint or allowing n had knot in an Important place. To meet your Ideal, nnd that an ideal which He has founded by His own character, you will take nothing less than a honest attempt at a perfect product. The de sire to slight one's work will lead to a compromise of character, and that will lead to the loss of the soul. It Is not the work but tli-- spirit you put Into it which Snakes the task Ignoble or sublime. I would have every man step to ills work to-morrow without dread or envy. I would have liliu feel that Jesus the Carpenter was the great model, and that If He could lit Him telf for the coni;uest i the world at a carpenter's bench any laborer may feel himself surrounded with glorious hopes and his dingy little shop become the habitat of angels. Paul stitching tents thought out those wonderful chapters of spiritual logic which move the world. Carey, the shoemaker, thought out the plan of giving the Bible to the Hindoos. Morrison, the last-maker, gave the gospel tr China. Burrett. the blacksmith, became the most learned workman of Jil day. Daily humble life lived on high levels this is tlie happy possibility of common men. Wlni t high discourse there must have been ill that humble home when the day's work was over; what ads of af fection, what uiutuul confidences and holy trust! But He who made lintels for the doors of Nazareth set up also the gates V the eternal city of (.iod. He who made humble houses for the common people of His native town was Hie Artificer of the eternal home of ttio soul. It was not a figure of His im agination when He pictures the unsafe foundation and the awful ruin of that unsecure house. He had seen the tor rent rush down the chalk cliffs of Naz areth and sweep nway the bouses of His fellow craftsmen. Small wonder that lie looked upon that ruin from the standpoint of a careful builder. But when they drove the carpenter from His bench at Nazareth He went out to build for eternity. I want to ask you to give your contract for nn eternal mansion to Jesus tlie Carpen ter. As a wise master builder. He asks you to count the cost. Are you ready to build? Are you willing toiiay for a good foundation, and will tlie su perstructure you rear be a sacred one? He will not countenance the orna mentations that hide the lack of solid worth. He will have uo part In the consummate fraud of a life that Is built on the saud. Ho will not build with liny and stubble. If it were u house to sell it might be out of your sight, but hf r me when 1 say it is the house oil are to live Iu forever. If t.lere is a tlaw in Ii you will lind it out. If when the wia- t Mow and the Hoods come it falls you will go down in tlie rxn. Yes .vdny a tun n gaspin for breath said "I u:n almost ashamed to ask liod to have mercy on me when I ig.iore.l Him for three score years." and you will feel the same. To leave yen in old age to the mercy of the wintry blasts would be cruel, but the man who shirks in the building of his scul's talic;'iiacle does that for himself. Only Jesus knows how to build for eternity.' Tlie old Bomnns weie rat builibM-s of roads and bridges, and the old Kg.vptiaus were great builders of pyramids, but I want somebody who can build a house for the soul that will outlast pyramids and sinrs. No man save Jesus can have my contract. I'oirrr nf Snrr'flr, John II.-:i;y, wl.'.'c a iliiinily student, went thn.i - .i a :ei. ..-: , ho I 'most i!ar- loir k.'M loco . I i o ,1 ...

MARCH EIGHTEENTH. Chrlat'a Life. Hla Summary of Con duct. Tha Sermon on the Ivfount. Matt. Chaptera 6, 6 and 7. The Sermon on tbe Mount Is the proclamation of the Kingdom. This sermon Is an appeal to the heart, out of which alone lire toe Issues of llfo It cannot be undcrtLod by the htaJ alone. The sermon calls for Inner ro'.lglon. nnd scorns tho mere externals. No amount of mere forms would mcjt one ot Its iequlrement3. The sermon not only requires re sults. It furnishes power. Were It nol for that. It would be the most dis courasitig piece of writing in the world, l.i.-lead of tlie most encourag ing. Suggestions. "Hut I say unto you" that Is Christ's word; and whatever men, oi passion, or self-Interest say must be forgotten. This life is given us to lay up trca3 ure in heaven; our beart3 will always follow what they realiy vrtasure. The habit of Judging others harsh ly is one of tho must dangerous of ha blt.i, because we ato so sure to pridf ourselves upon It. We are to do to men, not what wc would foolishly like to have them do to us, but what wo should ba wise In desiring for ouredves. Hearing Christ s sayings nnd doing them are as Inseparable as a voIcf and nn echo. The Sermon on the Mount U the bu.-iness manual of "our Father's bus iness." The Beatitudes nre a list of the world's richest. goiu mines. The precepts of this seriiuin are like tbo Ktvi-n piimury colors, capable o painting all beautiful lives that can be lived. Questions. Am I trying to follow the pattern set me In the .Mount? How often do 1 read the Sermon on the Mount? vVuuhl it not be u great Advantage to commit the sermon to memory? Mill LLASUt LESSONS SUNDAY, MARCH 18. The Glory of Christlike Lives. John 17. 22-24. Our Lord never forgot that his work was to reveal liod to men. Tho temp tations of his llfo were Invitations to assert himself, to separate himself from his relations to tho Father and to be Hclf-sufUclent. Hut because he was true to his high mission he came to his own highest self-expression to the glory of the supremo wacilnce, and to the glory of its supreme and eternal success. It is hard for us to learn the les son, llie world about us is full of temptations which urge us to free our selves from any subjection to God and invite us to be our masters. Wt have gone far toward complete victory over these temptations when we have given ourselves to Jesus Christ and have been adopted Into God's family. Thenceforth we accept the truth thut we should not live unto ourselves, but unto Him who died for us and rose again. Hut even after conversion it is not easy to give ourselves wholly to the work of showing forth Christ to the world. We have need to learn, by I every possible teaching and by every possible experience, that as Christ's fullest glory lay in his being a com plete expression "the Word" of God so our highest blessedness Is In being Chrlstlike. Only thus can we do our whole duty to ourselves. Only thus can we secure any recognition of our claims to God's favor. It is one of the Innumerable proofs that Jesus sound ed the depths of a pro.'ound truth when he said, "He that loveth lils life shall lose it, and he that hatcth his life Ir. this world shall keep It unto life eternal." There Is no permanence, no promin ence, no power worth liavlg that, Is not related to Jesus Christ. Wo can afford to throw away all uther dis tinctions for the sake of being true disciples of Jesus Christ. It is glory enough, and without it no oilier glory hi worth anything. Deception In Insects. In a certain magazine some curious itories of the deception to which ln liects resort are told. It says: "Queerer still than the caterpillars which pretend to be leaves or flowers, for the sake of protection, are those perfidious Urazlllun spiders, which are brilliantly colored with crimson and purple, but 'double themselves up at tho base of leaf stalks, so as to resem ble (lower-buds, and by this means deceive the insects upon which they prey.' "An Indian mantis, or preying in sect, a little leas wicked, though no less cruel than the spiders, docelves tlie flies who come to his arms under the false pretense of being a quiet leaf, upon which they may light in safety for rest and refreshment. "Y'et another abandonod member of the sanio family, relying bodily upon the resources of tropical nature, gets itself up as a complete orchid, the bead and fangs being molded in the exact image ot the beautiful blossom, and the arms folding treacherously around the unhappy Insect which ven tures to Beck for honey In Its decep tive Jaws." Why Arabs Lie. It is said by travelers throughout the world that the most universally untruthful people to bo mot with are the Arabs. All foreigners lie some of the time, but the Arabs lie all of the time. Whether this be true or not, the Arabs give this reason for their untruthfulness: When the Father of IJet came on earth to distribute his goods he had nine bags of lies. He spread one bag of lies throughout Europe, then start ed for Africa and Asia. He landed In Egypt one evening. Intending to scat ter a bugful over that country and Syria, then on the following day go to Asia. While he alept the Arab (who were accomplished thieves) stole all his remaining hags of lies and dis tributed them among themselves. TIIE SUNDAY SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOf? MARCH 10.

Of nil methods that have been tried by dairymen to secure clenn milk dur ing the operation of milking. tpJRigtng the animal's flank nnd wiping with a dry cloth have proved of most value. A carbolic solution has been found effective for sponging, but hns an of fensive odor, while vaseline and other oils cost considerable nnd nre difficult to npply nnd keep the linuds of the milker clenn. The best treatment Is to ponge off the animal's flank nnd udder shortly before milking, wiping It ns dry ns pos sible with the sponge, but not so dry that dust will fnll again before milk ing Is completed. If this Is done but little dirt will get Into the milk nnd the keeping iinlitles of the cream and butler will be very much Increased.

Farmers I.I re Well Hut Clie,'ily. Mr. Colllngwood. editor of tbe lineal New Yorker, after having taken din ner In a select restaurant and examin ing the prices en the bill of .'ere. found that the supper lie had the night be fore at his own home, consisting; of bread and butter, pot cheese, lima beans and baked apples ica.-li one of the fifteen pel-sons partaking of tiie. supper lmvlui; two large dislie of lima beans and our good-sized up.ibv. would, at tlie same rates, ligure up Sly. for ihe beans and niples nlohe, aside- f-oni the other things. Then he says: "That's what ;.ou rr ght call high living for a farmer. I will guutnutcc that both beans and apples were fresh er and belter him those served at the public table. You see, a farmer does not know how he lakes u seat amoiig the ' mighty until his garden walks through tiie kitchen nnd jumps on tlie table.

A calf should be trained from blrlh, gradually In the way It should go by .1 constant progressive course of kind, consliiernto treatment. A heifer calf should be weaned nt its birth to ob literate proclivities before they grow into habits. The calf should not ha permitted to suck the dam. but be taught to drink from a pnil. It should be handled and brushed quite fre quently. It will soon become used to It and make no resistance, rather like It. As It grows older the udder and teals should be rubbed and pulled gently, us if milking. This not only makes It docile, but aids Iu the devel opment of tlie udder and increases Its future capacity. A heifer may be brought to milk In this way before she has had a calf, aud instances of this lacteal precocity are not Infrequently seen iu dairies where calves nre al lowed to suck each other. When tho well educated heifer has n calf It Is already trained, and breaking with tbi discipline of a club, n boot or a milk ing stool should uo. be necessary.

The bars nre pivoted together lit their lower extremities nnd secured at the top by a bolt, one of the bars extending above the bolt, the projec tion engaging the feueo should the animal attempt to break tlirougn. Con nected wllh the yoke is a ring, which fits about the nose of the animal, and attached by links, which rest upon op posite shies of the head.

If Mars nnd Saturn reflected the same proportion of the light whleb falls upon their surfaces the smaller and much Dearer planet would look three times as bright as the much more distant nnd much Inrger Saturn. As a matter of fact there Is no grent difference between the two. It is In ferred from this fact that the visible surface of Saturn consists of cloudu since no surface of land nnd water would reflect so much light as tint planet gives.
