dumbly.

tiently as be could until Golden Hair
bad been tucked Into her little bed,
then when his truo princess came
slowly down the stairs he would
clasp her close never to let her go

forever."
"Where would thoy go?" the child
asked drowsily.
The governess laid her face against
the child's as she carried her from

melted Into a dream.
'They will Journey on and on," she
said, "through sunshine and shadow,

TEXT Th hand or Ond in upon all
them that aeek lilin for K'"d. Ezra 8:21
These words wero spokin by Ezra
the king Artuxerxes of Habylon. Kzra
was sent back to Jerusalem with great
stores of gold nnd silver for tho tem
ple. The king offered him a military
guard for the Journey, but Kzra de
clares it unnecessary, for, ho says,
"The hand of God la upon all them for
good, that seek him."
Kzra hero announces a fact which
often passes out of our reckoning.'
There was a time when fatalism was i
tho general creed nnd It still lingers !
In ninny minds. It Is a dreary faith to
livo by nnd not true to facts. Thore Is
a more beautiful creed and moro com
forting, and that Is tho personal provl
deneo of a loving fnlher tho hand of
God upon all them for good that seek
him.
First let us recognize that dHIno
government In our lives Is a fact. No
ono can live and defy God's liiws with
Impunity. Many men seem to think
that no notice Is trken of their ac
tions, and they go on In their evil
ways nnd apparently prosper. Occa
sionally one may escape from tho Jus
tice of humnn law, but thero Is no es
capo from divine law.
The hand of God Is a disturbing ele
ment. You may be perfectly satisfied
with yourself, but God Is not jatlstled
with you. Only to one did he sny,
"This la my beloved son In whom I am
well pleased." There are so many
things In our lives that God is not
pleased with If his hand Is upon us for
good. So God never allows us to re
main In peace. You would not expect
Ood's government in our lives to bo
one of Indifference nnd tranquillity.
Do you think, for Instnni'e, that Cod
Is satisfied with social and moral n d
political conditions as they are.' No,
he Is not. And therefore God l.-t con
tinually stirring up good men and in
fluences to battle against evil an. I op
pression and to spread tlie principles
of his kingdom, and there are those
who rwent this divine interference
and make his servants bear the brunt
of their displeasure.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is a dis
turbing eloment wherever It comes,
for It cannot exist side by side with
evil and oppression, without striving
to oppose and overcome them. That
was what Jesus had reference to
when he said, "I am not come to
send peace upon the earth, but a
sword."
China lived In self-satisfied Igno
rance and darkness. Progress was nn
unknown word and not desired. The
same customs and practices nnd the
eame primitive methods had obtained
For 2,000 years. Then came the man
with tho gospel and It proved a dis

Wirelessing to Africa.
Quito recently a largo wireless sta

of the Woermann line during the w holo
of Its journey from Hamburg to West

sages with It after It had como to an
chor at tho Cameroons. From there
to Nuen the distance Is roughly 4,000
miles, and tho wireless waves had to
negotiate such obstacles as the Alps,
tho Algerian tableland and tho moun
tains of Adninnwa. This Is by far tho
best, over soa and land record yet
made.

Progress Is not necessarily p!er
( tit. Notice how Moses speaks m' the
departure from Horeb, where many of
Israelites were most, villi!';: to re
main: "And when wo departed fr un
Horeb we went through nil lu crtat l
und terrlblo wilderness whi !; ye s;'.v
by the way of tho mountain i f the
Ammorltes." H was progress, but It
was not pleasant. It was throuih tin
great nnd terrlblo wilderness. It was
difficult progress, but the goal was
'lannnn, tho land of promip".
Thero Is a beautiful Illustration of
the hand of God In human lives. In
fe thirty-second chapter of Deuter
onomy: "As an eagle slirrctli up l.t r
pest, fluttereth over her young, tnketh
them, beareth them on her pinions; so
the Lord did lead him."
The picture Is full of poetry, full
o life nnd truth and beauty. Think
error It. The nest la upon a rocky
blight. The mother eailo comes and
t.fces the eaglets nnd flings them out
ot the nest. They scream with fright
ind begin to fall to the ground. Hut
having stirred up her nest, tho englo
"spreadeth abroad her wings." Sho
swoops beneath them, "benrelh them
on her pinions." She drops them
again and again they struggle, but
this time not so helplessly.' They be
gin to understand what she means.
She Is teaching them to fly.
Perhaps circumstances havo flung
you out until you felt lost In an cle
ment that was new nnd strange to
you. Look unto God, who Is the help
of nil who seek him. He spreads out
tho wings of his omnipotence to pro
tect you. Ho Is teaching you to use
the gifts which he has bestowed upon
you. There Is a purpose In tho great
wings of the eagle. It Is flight. Thero
is a purpose in your life, O child of
God. It Is flight Godward, sunward,
heavenward.
The wholo territory of the drink
question lies contiguous to that of tho
food question. It overlaps It In many
places. Had cookery Is tho unexpect
ed cause of many an aching heart, tho
insidious destroyer of many u happy
t ome. It Incites domestic discord, In
duces Intemperate habits nnd scatters
broadcast tho seeds of disease. It Is
a powerful ally of tho saloon and the
brothel, and ono of the most formid
able evils with which civilization and
Christianity have to contend.
The bug -st portion of tho daily faro
of the American people is lnharmon
lously prepared or Improperly cooked.
Consequently, It Is Indigestible, In nu
tritious and unsatisfying. Such food
deranges the stomach, and a deranged
stomach Is responsible for more mis
deeds and sins than a carnal heart,
writes Mrs. lOmma Kwlng In au ex
change. Poor coffee Induces nn un
natural thirst for lager beer. Iladly
prepared, Innutritions food drives
thousands to drinking dens, and the
recruiting offices of crlmo Bre filled
with stragglers from poorly provision
ed homes.
There Is no more Important organ
In a human being than the stomach,
and Us needs should bo treated with
thoughtful consideration. Drunken
ness often has Its origin In the food
one eats. It Is safo to say that of the
tiO.OOrt drunkards who die annually In
the United States, a large proportion
havo the appetite for Intoxicating
drinks aggravated, If not Implanted,
by Improper food. When peoplo are
compelled to live day after day on
slack baked bread, heavy pancakes,
gresBesoaked meats, watery vege
tables, sloppy coffeo, and a long list
of wretchedly cooked articles. Is It
any wonder that a great many of
them resort to stimulants for tem
porary relief from the discomforts
and ailments engendered by their
diet? A deranged stomach always
longs for Btimulants. and with such
horrible dietetic and culinary condi
tions as exist everywhere In this coun
try at the present time, why should
we bo surprised nt the prevalence of
the drink habit? Und food has a per
nicious influence upon all classes of
society, through all the various rela
tions of life; and it Is nlmost Impossi
ble for human beings, with appetites
depraved and stomachs deranged by
such food to lead clenn, pure lives.
Good, nutritions, properly prepared
food Is essential for the production of
healthy, well-developed men and wom
en. It Is a prominent factor In the de
velopment of n high type of Christian
life. Eaten In proper quantities, at
proper times. It satisfies a healthy
stomach perfectly, and leaves no han
kering for candy or chewing gum, no
longing for cigars or tobacco, no de-
nnd ire for beer or brandy.
A feariul responsibility rests upon
the heads of these who have charge
of the culinary department of a na
tion, and It seems to me that along
the line of Christian work or every
description, but especially along tho
Hi'os of temperance work, reformatory
! i llo.-ts must prove comparatively
j fruitless, until a lons' step has been
I t:-'keu in the direction of better cook
ery.

ROBBING SALOONS IS LATEST
Dr.imshop, Where Much of Crime

Murderous Bandits.
Is
Restored In Christ.
Our Lord once encountered a man
who had a withered hand. In spite of
the captious questioning, of the Jews,
or perhaps In order to silence it,
Christ, at the dictate of his own mer
ciful heart, said to the afflicted man,
stretch forth thine hand! And when
he stretched It forth It was restored
whole. The moral Is evident In hu
man society there nre many palsied
hands atrophied powers or unused
faculties needing to be restored to
full duty as social mlnlstrantti. There
Is only ono way to accomplish this
result use what little 'power Is left
In strotchlng forth tho Imperfect fac
ulty In the direction of Jesus Christ,
who can endue it with fuller life and
potency. If In yonr life there Is any
loss of efficiency, any withered hand,
put It nt once into working condition,
through Christ's grace. In the line of
duty.
Tho lobbing of saloons is, so far ns
we have ever had opportunity to ob
serve, a new thing under the sun. The
-aloon has Instigated robberies enough;
the "chalice," with a draught moro
bitter thiai lis own nauseous beer,
has never before in en "commended
to Its own lips." .lust now In Chicago
tills Is being done. After all, It is
chickens coming home to roost. Never
till now, surely, was this quaint sim
ilitude moro appropriate In applica
tion. I'pon tho other hand, changing
tho metaphor, so to speak, onro more,
Jt is a very ungrateful proceeding on
the part of the robber himself. When
ho compels the bartender to "hold up
l.ls hands" while he empties the till,
It Is pointing the revolver at the breast
which nursed him.
The anUion Is his alma mnter. He
gradunted from there to enter his
course of burglary, murder and crimes
less namenblo, on his way to the peni
tentiary and the gallows. That he
should also victimize those who still
are undergraduates, surprising them
In the midst of tholr cups and com
pelling them to stand ignomlniously In
a row with their backs against the
wall, while hu empties their pockets,
this, surely, cannot be Justified. Was
there ever a more contemptible ex
hibition of human shiftlesness and de
pravity than upon the one hand the
toleration of the saloon, and on tho
other, tho saloon Itself? Chicago
Standard,
Edward VII on Temperance.
No ono felt more strongly about tho
importance of abstinence, both in the
navy and army, than Kd ward VII,
who, aware that, In accordance with
old tradition and custom, tho health
of tho sovereign la drunk each even
ing at the officers' mess, both on land
and at sea, and that any failure to
honor it with wino or spirits was re
garded as savoring of disloyalty, caus
ed, before his death, a general order
to be Issued that he did not consider
wine or spirits as Indispensable to
this toast, and that henceforth those
holding his commission in tho navy
and In the army wero at perfect lib
erty to use water In drinking the
health of their king.
We hear much of the "force of cir
cumstance." Circumstance, if traced
to Its source, will be found to bo tho
effect of will. Mrs. Egerton East-wick.
Tho promise of KUJah that If Ellsha
saw hi in asceud, then ho might know
that ho was to be his successor had
Iksou fulfilled. This mfght be con
firmed by the fact that Elijah' man
tle, his familiar prophet-dress, fell
from him as he went up In tha whirl
wind, and wag a confirmatory legacy,
so that KMsba might appear to tho
people to be a prophet like his mas
ter. Hut, like Gideon with the fleece,
Ellsha would like, to make another
test before he entered upon big work,
lie was standing by the Itiver Jordan.
TI19 song f tho prophets from Jeri
cho were looking on. The river must
be crossod. Ho held the mantle with
which Elijah smote tho waters, when
a way through them had been opened
by Elijah's Uod. Therefore If he wa
really Elijah's successor, with the
same mantle, tlie same spirit, the same
work to do, then Ood would open a
similar pathway through tho river for
Kllsba. Folding up the mantle, and
smiting the waters, a hie master had
done, he exclaimed, "Where Is the
Lord, the Ood of Elijah!" and the way
wag opened, and aaeurnnre was made
doubly sure.
Coming to Jericho, where there ws
a guild of the Song of the Prophets,
Elisha had an opportunity of using
his power of servloe aa a prophet. The
citizens of Jericho came to him for
help because the water supply wm
very bad for both the people and the
land. They brought Elisha a new
bowl or dlah, and put salt therein,
both typical of purity and freshnosa.
Taking these with him he went up
the stream to the fountain head a
mile and a half from the town, and cast
tho salt Into It, saying, "Thua golth
the Lord, I hare healed these water."
This clearly shows that the aalt waa
"not the means whereby the healing
wag wrought, but only as an outward
sign to point to the work which wis
supernaturally performed." Bait
would naturally make the water
worie, not better; and even If tt were
helpful, one dish of salt could not
purify a spring that supplied a whole
city with water, much lens make It
permanently good. It waa like the
clay with which Jesus anointed the
eyes of the blind man.
Ono of tho sons of the prophets
died and left his widow and two sons
In poverty. Sho was so poor as to be
in danger of having her children sold
ns slaves. Her husband may have
left her In debt, or she had run In
debt, porhaps through her husband's
sickness. Her creditors demanded
their money, and, ns she could not
pay It, they threatened to take her
two sons for slaves, to work out the
debt. In her troublo she appealed to
Elisha as the head of the guild, and
ts ono who had been helping others.
Fho hnd nothing left put a pot of
olive oil.
Fir.ha bndo tho woman borrer
empty vessels from her neighbors,
nnd bringing them Into her house,
with closed doors, to pour out from
her own Jnr of oil till every dish and
Jar was full. This oil sho was to sell
and pay her debt.
Tho result was according to the
prophet's word. Every vessel sho had
faith enough to borrow was llllcd with
tho miraculous oil. Her del t wai
j paid, and her children saved from
slavery. According to hor faith It waa
dona unto hor.
Mother Goes to Elisha for Help
Elisha at this time was nt Mount
Cnrmel, 16 miles away. Tho mother
knows the only thing to be done. She
calls for one of tho servants, hns nn
ass saddled, and presses forward with
the utmost speed to the prophet.
Elisha knew that only some matter
of great Importance could bring a
woman Uiere. "Sho caught him by
tho feet. Gehail came near to thrust
her awny." Deeming her Importunity
excessive, or such liberties beneath
his master's dignity.
Elisha went with the Shuiiammlte
to her house, nnd found tho child dead
upon the bed In his chamber. "He
shut tho door upon them twain, and
prayed." Thus, like Jacob wrestling
alone with tho angel for the blessing,
could tlie prophet come Into closest
communion with God, nnd learn hie
will. Prayer makes tho heart a chan
nel for God's blessings. Gifts through
prnyor are doubly blessed, tlie spirit
unl life is increased, the character
unnotified.
"And he went up, and lay upon tho
child." He used whatever means
were In his power, though the means
alone could never have brought the
child to life. So Jamos tells tho eld
ers who pray with the sick, to also
nnolnt him with oil, one of the com
moner remedies of the day. There
were faint signs of life.
Then canio another season of ag
onizing prayer, while tho prophet
walked to and fro. This wns a new
experience of what tho Lord might do
through him, and he could not know
the Lord's will at once. "The child
6neeied seven times, and . . .
opened his eyes." Those were the'
first acts of restored respiration, and
they are described aa successive
steps.
Into every home come hours of bit
ter sorrow, strango providences which'
we cannot understand. Tho door
through which help conies Is the door
of prayer, and the use of means which,
always belongs with prayer like
twin sister. The mother prayod and'
put her prayer In action. The prophet
prayed and put his prayor In action.
The effectual, fervent prayer of
righteous mnn avnlloth much. It make
nil the difference In the world whether
the prophet or Gcnazl Ib bc'ilnd th
staff. Tho best thing In a sermon la
the man behind It. The most Impor
tant thing In teaching Is the teacher.

EVIDENTLY HAD HIS DOUBTS
Olfactory Evidence Offered Up by
Serious Minded Old Time
Circuit Rider.
A typical old time "circuit rider
died recently In Alabama a man
hose godly unselfish life will long
be rementlxired. Many w"-e the eo
centrlcltles of this rugged old man,
and many anecdotes are current
among the Methodist ministers of the
state concerning him. Ho was noted
for two things -his denunciation of
sin In no uncertain tones, und the
fumlllaiity with which he addressed
the Lord In prayer.
On one occasion l e had been prearfv
Ifig In a log meeting house In the piny
woods of north Alabama. There were
several young fellows on hand who
had boon celebrating by piitronulnf
still hard by. After a long, fiery ser
mon, the preacher made u call fo
mourners, and soon the rude altar
was filled mostly by the afore men
tioned young fellows. The old man
looked them over for a moment, and
with keen intuition felt that It was
perhaps a "lurk" on the boys' part,
but he knelt to pray.
"O Lord," he began, "here's a crowd
of young fellows kneeling round your
altar. They've been cussln' and
wenrln' and drlnkln' and sjiendiK
their time In riotous llvin but they'Tt
come up here seemingly penitent.
They look like penitents, Lord, and I
hope tiiey are. They weep like peni
tents. Lord, nnd I hope you'll forgive
'era If they are; but. O Lord. I declare
thoy don't tmell like penltenta!"

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctor' Talk on Food.
There are no fairer set of men ai
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been In error they are
usually apt to make honest aud manly
admission of tho fact.
A case In point Is that of a practl'
tloner, ono of tho good old Bchool, who
lives In Texas. His plain, unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up:
"I had always had an Intense preju.
dice, which I can now see was unwar
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence, I
never read a line of the many 'ads' ot
Grape-NuU, nor tested tho food till
last winter.
"While in Corpus Christ 1 for my.
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who hsa four of tho ruddiest, healthi
est little boys I ever saw, I ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup

"I became, exceedingly fond of II

eructations (with which I was for

fullness, nnusea, nor distress of stom

pleasantly upon my stomach as thla
