Poor In Precious Stones.
For a land that Is rich In minerals
of all kinds the United States seems to
have a very poor output of precious
or semiprecious stones. About tbe
best that we can do Is to produce plen
ty of turquoise, and of this the mines
last year yielded $4,000 more than tho
year before. Diamonds In tbe rough
were once picked up In Kansas and
opals and rubles In one or two of the
southern states, but the unromantic
government experts, after an Investi
gation, informed the purchasers of tbe
"mines" that they bad been "let In on
rather crudely salted properties." But
that the prospectors are busy In this
country may be gathered from tbe re
cent discovery of turquoise deposits
In Nevada, pink beryl In Maine, sun
stone In Arizona and amazon stone at
White Plains, Just north of this city.

Herbert Young, fifteen, caught a

Rocks In CascO bay, Maine. The catch
was made on a common cod line and

father and Eugene W. Gobs of Auburn,
who were In tho boat with him, bad
a hard tussle landing the big fellow.
It was finally done with tbe help of a

l.oyul to tho empire, the East In
Alans are doing their full share to
ward winning final victory for the en
tente allies In the great war. Early
In the war when the expeditionary
forces were being mobilized and
equipped, Sir Pertab Singh, a seventy-year-old
Indian princo who had seen
active service In the paBt, organized
and equipped at his own expense al
most an army corps of his subjects
and offered both himself and his men
to King George. Sir Pertab Singh has
distinguished hlnwelf with his com
mand with the British forces In
France.
A Terrible Thought.
"I see when a man runs for office
he has to put himself In the bands
of his friends."
"Yes, my dear."
"If a woman ran would she have
to put herself in the bands of her
woman friends?"
"1 eopposa so."
"Well, I don't Imagine many worn-'
en will run. Think of taking such
chances!" Louisville Courior-Jour-!

TEXT iod' hoat. Qon. 32:2.
The angels compose the army of
heaven. Tbe captain of this host of
the Lord Is no
other than Jesus
Christ, and it was
he, wejhtok, who
appeared as tbo
angel of the Lord
In the Old Testa
ment. The multi
tude of those who
bow to his com
mand Is suggest
ed by the fact that
In the garden of
Gethscmane he
might have called
for twelve legions
of angels and they
would have been
given him; they are said to number
ten thousand times ten thousand and
thousands of thousands.
We would speak of two Instances
especially In which this shining host
has figured.
The first has to do with the story of
Jacob. Ho was on his way back from
Haran after an exile of twenty years.
Thoughts of meeting Esau on the mor
row troubled him, for he was learning
that "sins come home to roost." How
beautiful to rend, "And Jacob went on
his way and the angels of God met
him. And when Jacob saw them, h
suld. This is God's host: and he called
the name of the place Mahanalm," i. e.,
two hosts. The idea which be ex
presses Is this: that while about him
Is his little encampment all unpre
pared to meet Esau and his four hun
dred men of war, yet above him is
God's army for his defense.
The other Instance Is referred to In
the Thirty-fourth Psalm: "The angel
of the Lord encampeth around about
them that fear him, and dclivereth
them." This Psalm seems to have
been written when David was fleeing
from Saul. The night would bring Us
terrors for the little company which
was with him, but his faith saw tho
mountains full of God's chariots, and
expressed Itself in the words we have
quoted. It will be noted that.be re
fers to the angel of the Lord who Is
at the bead of the heavenly array, but
his words Include the vast multitude
which camps about the saint.
In this age tho question may be
raised as to whether such a truth has
any Importance for us; Indeed some
may even feel that to speak of angels
puts a barrier between us and God.
But If we will understand that these
are simply his messengers fulfilling
the voice of his word, the difficulty
vanishes. We have in mind a couple
of Incidents which show that this
truth may become of vital concern In
times of danger.
For example, the biographer of Mrs.
John Scudder, wife of the famous mis
sionary to India, tells of a most Inter
esting experience in her life. With
her children she was being carried
through the Jungle by native bearers.
The tent had been pitched for tho
night and this frail woman with her
babes was looking to her servants for
protection; but as twilight doepened,
the roar of lions end tigers began
sounding through the Jungle and
struck terror Into the hearts of the
men. One after another took to flight,
leaving this woman and her children
alone among the wild beasts. Shn
prayed to God for protection and l
was granted her. That her danger
was real Is shown by the fact that she
heard the Hons and tigers sniffing
about her tent in the night; and yet
no paw was raised against her, and
when the morning dawned her chil
dren were sleeping In peace and safety.
Her biographer suggests an explana
tion which Is worthy of attention. He
says: "There was an Inner circle; for
'tho apgel of the Lord encampeth
around about them that fear him and
dollvereth them.' "
Again this subject Is suggested In
the last entry found In the journal of
that Christian soldier, Chlncso Gor
don. As Is well known, ho lost his life
In the siege of Khartum. The re
enforcements came all too late, but
nevertheless the faith of this man did
not fall. He says In his cloning entry.
"The hoBts are with us Mahanalm."
It Is Jacob's old word, and shows that
the faith of this Christian hero realized
that God had sent his angels. It is
true that Gordon lost his life; but he
could lay It down In the confidence
that It was not because God had left
him without protection, but that tn
tho wisdom of his hpavenly Father his
death was permitted.
Man's Will Is All His Own.
True education lies in learning to
wish things to be as they actually are;
it lies In learning to distinguish what
Is our own from what does not belong
to us. But there Is only one thing
which is fully our own that Is our
will or purpose. God, acting as a good
king and a true father, has given us
will which cannot be restrained,
compelled or thwarted; he bus put it
wholly In our power. . . . Noth
ing can ever force us to act against
our will. If we are conquered. It Is
because we have willed to be con
quered. Eplctetus.
Vast Consequences.
There are purposes which God him
self cannot fulfill on earth except
through you, and every sin of yours
1s a barrier Bet In God's way. To be
sinning, not against ynursef"' but
agntnet the universe; In the petty
yleldln to your own Indolence or neg-
Iect. to be a hindered of God's groat
ends In the world lh.it Is what gives
awfulness to every thought of sin.
To injure, blot, ruin yourself that
may be a small Matter; but to bold
bark the vast mechanism of creation
that gives your little life significance.
Francis 0. Teabody.
