If we count the seconds that elapss between our seeing a flash of ilRht nlng and our hearing the thunder we can tell how far off the thunderstorm la As light travels I8G.000 miles a second, we may for all practical pur poses regard ourselves as seeliiR the lightning the Instanl It flashes But sound travels only 1,08? feel a second. If. then, we multiply 1.087 by the nuro ber of anconds that elapBf after the flash before we hear the thunder, we get the distance, that Ilea between us and the storm (f we count Ave sec onds, the flash Is a mile away A a rule, we do not bear the thunder al all if the storm Is more than twclv to fifteen miles away from us But tbe rule has exceptions In Svnion Me teorological Magazine Mr Haiold Wll son reports that last August be saw two flashes of i.ghtnlnR In the west northwest of England and only heard the tliuiider after Intervals of IH and 112 seconds respectively.

Youngstown Telegram. will reach Ita height in tbe end of the age. It U of high interest in the perilous times In wbicb we live, and w would Invite spe cial attention to the secret of safety for believ ers set forth Id the text The root of the exhortation Is, that we shall keep ourselves in tho love of God. This Is the sunshine whose light and warmth we need la dark days. A realisation of the love of God will keep us from both dis couragement and apostasy. But the Spirit of God is even more explicit and gives . three directions which. If followed, will enablo us to keep ourselves In the love of Cod. First, we are to build up oursolves on our most holy faith. John Wesley used to warn bis preachers that they would not grow in grace unless they grew In knowledge. We may add that many stray from the faith because so poorly Instructed In Its contents. They seem willing to trust their own powers in the conflict with Satan, whereas our Lord himself was content to meet the assaults of the devil with, "It is written." An excellent Illustration of obedi ence to tho direction of tbe text is found In the lifo of Charlotte Eliza beth, who lived in the days of the Irr Inqlte movement. She heard of mar velcus healings and "gifts," including the gift of tongues, and was very de sirous of taking a proper attitude In the matter. She felt that a few scat tered texts were not enough, but that she should read the Biblo In a con nected way for light. So, one night, after earnest prayer for guidance, she sat on tbe side ot her bed, and, begin ning at Matthew, read straight on till she had gone through the seventh chapter of Revelation, completing the Now Testatment next morning. She saw that miracles may even be of Sa tanic origin and that they will charac terize some things to be avoided in the last days. The prominence given to women In the Irvlnglte movement she saw to bo unscrlptural, and ber Judgment on the matter was confirmed shortly afterwards , when she found that heresy as to the nature of Christ was being taught. We tremble to think of the easy prey found by Saton among Christians because of a lack ot such building up of themselves on their most holy faith. Next, we are instructed to pray In tho Holy Ghost. We are familiar with the fact that the Holy Ghost prays In us, but the thought of the text Is not so common. It represents the Holy Ghost, so to speak, as the atmosphere in which the Christian lives and breathes out bis petitions. Finally we are to be "looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ," We shall need mercy when he comes, and looking tor bis coming Is a means ot safety. While such an attitude of expectancy was common In the early church, it has unhappily become rath er rare In modern times. Yet It ap pears on the very surface of the New Testament as the normal attitude of Christians. A missionary who had spent fourteen years in China stated that all the native Christians In her district were looking for the comlcg ot the Lord. She wei,t on to explain that this was not the result so much of specific instructions on this point, but because they had no book on doc trine save the New Testament, and they found this truth for themselves as a commo.iplaco ot apostolic teach ing. Jude speaks of false teachers who ran grocdily after the error of Baalam for reward. Looking for the Lord ts a cure for tho greed which has led some Into the ways ot apos tasy. John Wilkinson, the foundor of the Mildmay Mission for the Jews, . was once approached at a railway sta tion by two women who had heard him speak. They placed In bis bunds a large sum of money and one of them explained that God had Intrusted to them ot this world's goods and they were anxious to prove good stewards lest the Lord at his coming should find his wealth In their bands unused. So, in many directions, looking for the coming of the Lord is a safeguard against falling from the faith. Verse 1 ot this epistle speaks ot our being "preserved In Jesus Christ," or, as the Revised Version renders It, "kept for Jesus Christ." We do not wonder thRt Jude cIobos with a confident doxology, "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling (or, stumbling), and to present you faultless before the presonce ot bis glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God, our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and 'power, both now and ever. Amen." Fortitude. Fortitude I take to be the quiet pos session of a man's to'.t. and an undis turbod doing his duty whatever evils bosct, or dangers lie In the way. In Itself an essential virtue. It la a guard to every other virtue. Locke. Sunny People Wanted. We do not know what ripples ol healing are set In motion when wa simply smile on one another.
