Lady Ballet Dancer.
To her many acomplishments Lady
Constance Stewart-Richardson has
now added that of ballet. dancing.
Lady Constance has been attending
the classes of Mme. Cavalazzi-Mapel-
son, the famous mistress of the bal-
let in Covent Garden, and, donning
the usual costume, has been initiated
into the mysteries of the profession.
T.ady Constance is said to have a per-
fect genius for the art, and if she
cared to devote the time to it she
might become one of the most ex-
quisite exponents of ballet dancing
ever seen. Unconventional to a de-
gree, Lady Constance is a noted
sportswoman. She is a champion
lady swimmer, a fisherwoman who
has landed many a salmon and an un-
erring shot, and when in Scotland it
: amuses her to go out shooting clad
in a Mackenzie tartan kilt and wear-
ing a tan-o’-shanter. Before her
marriage in 1904 Lady Constance
spent many months shooting in the
Rockies, where, absolutely alone ex-
cept for her guides, she camped out.
Dressed in breeches and coat, with a
cap on her short, dark hair, she look-
ed exactly like a slim, boyish man.—

Novel English Entertainment.
‘A new form of ghtertainment which
has been very popular in London this
season is known as “wallflower balls.”
It provides games and competitions
for pretty dancers who, owing to the
dearth of men, are obliged to sit out
for a portion of the evening.
The old term of “wallflower” has
lost its original significence of dis-
grace, the manager of an “entertain-
ment bureau” said yesterday. Girls
are well aware nowadays that that it
is very improbable that their pro-
grams will be filled, and the large ma-
jority of dancing girls over dancing
men makes the position of the hostess
a difficult one.
An energetic society hostess who
was troubled last season by noticing
a number of charming girls standing
around her hospitable ballroom, has
organized a ' series of “wallflower
balls” for the early spring.
The ballroom, as usual, will be de-
voted to dancing. There will be a
music room, where the guests who are
fond of good music can enjoy quarter
of an hour’s concerts during the even-
ing.
A palmist and crystal gazer will
peep into the future from a tent in
the hall. A paper-flower competition
will occupy one room. Each com-
petitor is asked to pick out a reel of

Women at the Theatre.
‘At the theatre, perhaps more than
at any other public place, people are
conspicuous for lack of consideration
for others. By coming in late and
obliging others to gather up their be-
longings and rise to allow them to
pass, they often cause their neigh-
bors to lose several lines of the play.
Sometimes they lengthen the annoy-
ance by standing before their seats
while they remove wraps, etc., thus
completely eclipsing the view of the
stage for those behind. It is a much
more convenient plan to check coats
before going to seats. Hats may be
checked also; if not, they should be
removed immediately after seating
oneself. Of course, if one is very
late one may considerately remain at
the back of the theatre until the act
is over before seeking one’s seat;

THE PULPIT.
A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. J. A. HANSEN.
Theme: Small Man’s Treasures.
! Brooklyn, N. Y.—In the Central
Baptist Church, Sunday, the pastor,
the Rev. J. A. Hansen, had for his
subject ‘‘A Small Man’s Great Treas-
ures.” ° The text was taken. from
Luke 19:1-10. Mr. Hansen said:
We need not. know much about
some people t no all about: them,
Of Zacchens: i! Akpow ; ‘jyst.. three;
things: He was chief among the’
publicans, he was rich and of small
stature. © These facts: constitute the
background of a very interesting: pic-
ture, “A Genuing Conversion.”, As a
chief publican he had bought the
right to yullect the Roman taxes. All’
the: publicans were despised by the
Jews, not only because they served
the. goats, but more so because they
sheared, the sheep. It was not only a
matter of what Rome wanted, but
what the publicAn could get. It was
this taking of ‘‘the pound of flesh”
that hurt and humbled the Jew and
made him hate the publicans.
Thus allied with Rome and ar-
raigned. against ‘the Jews by an: SUD
popula¥and ‘dishotfiest method,” Zac-
cheus had grown wealthy. He was
not only rich, but he was a rich pub-
lican. This not only said he had
money, but told how it had ‘been se:
cured. It proved him what we would
call a grafter, and a good one—more
correctly, a bad one. His wealth was
greater than his treasures; a man
may be rich and not have much that
belongs to himself. Zaccheus at
least feared that some. of his means
belonged with the assats of others.
What a shrinking and swelling of
bank accounts there would ‘be if all
financial injustice were righted by
the return of the amount multiplied
by. four.
Thé first treasure that came into
the experience of Zaccheus was un-
doubtedly the gems of truth, which
that -day he discovered and found
precious. A walk, a talk, a meal,
Jesus a guest, and the man is
changed-—converted. A little man
who could: not see, could thank God,
hear. Truly, faith came not by sight,
but by hearing. And what did he
hear? Millions of men have walked,
talked and dined together without in-
fluencing each other. Of course, he
had seen Jesus, but like another, ‘“He
had Him, now.” Words of divine
truth and sublime thought had flowed
from His gracious lips. The “Water
of Life” became a stream making
fresh and fruitful the best where the
worst had predominated.
What an ancient lesson for modern
needs. The Christian worker of to-
day has left the path of success be-
cause he seeks changes that will con-
vert the man. Change the man and
he will change his conditions. And
vet here is an external force that
blesses the soul. ‘“Ye shall know the
truth and the truth shall make you
free.”” If the Son make you free, ye
shall be free indeed. It was undoubt-
edly these two—personality and
truth—that proved of inestimable
value to Zeccheus.
Christianity is the broadest and
best thing of everyday life—for our
matter-of-fact day, if you please. It
makes every man a brother and every
brother a missionary. If those who
love and live the truth would give
the truth, who doubts the result?
It was not only what Jesus was, but
what He was and said that touched
the conscience and moved the heart
of Zeccheus. We have ‘‘this treas-
ure’ indeed in earthern vessels; yet,
whatever the vehicle, the treasures of
truth are committed to us and by
them we persuade men to be recon-
ciled to God. Oh, for a willingness
and effort to make our walking, talk-
ing and visiting tell for religion and
life. “Go * * * teaching them
whatsoever I have commanded * * *
and lo I am with you alway, said
Jesus.” ‘The truth” is after all the
world’s and the church’s greatest
treasure.
The second treasure that he se-
cured was light and sight together—
they were created for each other.
Again it was not seeing the great
rabbi, but seeing himself that proved
his great blessing. Self-sight is a
thing to be prized and prayed for.
Oh, wad some power the giftie gie
us;
To see ourselves as ithers see us.
We believe the light revealed Zac-
cheus that day to be small, not only
in stature, but in character as well.
As Achan, with his wedge of gold and
Judas with his thirty pieces of silver
shrink into men too small to be sol-
dier and apostle, so Zaccheus is af-
fected by his wealth. He happily be-
comes big enough to be willing to
give away one-half and to restore as
much as necessary. But he is small
before the implied methods of its ob-
taining.
The lack of character is not only a
want to be deplored, but littleness in
this sense is the ground of great
evils. A man of small body, small
mind, small heart must be limited in
his ability to do good; but the small
character is unlimited in his possibil-
ities of evil. He may be restrained
by self-fear or interposed providence,
yet the probabilities are he will be a
withering and blighting curse. In
making money the publican was con-
stantly tempted to fleece both the’
rich and the poor. ‘Dishonesty’ was
his ability and ‘‘tricking’ his trade.
Herein lies the value of the truth ac-
quired that day. Money secured at
the price of the sorrows and suffer-
ings of others is acquired at the cost
of a blighted conscience and a lost
soul. His contact with the good in
life and thought in Jesus made him
see himself and seek betterment.
Herein lies the power of the Christ
and the Christian.
Life is an opportunity. It is no
virtue to be so small we will not en-
ter doors. There are, of course, op-
portunities that any one worthy of
the name of man will not embrace.
A bigness to be coveted. There are
also invitations of sin and solicita-
tions of self that call for a smallness
that is despicable. There are doors
all about us and it is a fact of human
existence that we will enter some
the high or the low, for weal or for
woe. Behold the wisdom and mercy
of God that no life is left without its
opportunity for good. Esau may sell
his birthright, but God sets in the
life of every Jacob a ladder that
reaches heaven.
What if the great opportunities of’
history had all been embraced by:
wicked and designing men? Indeed,
history under such circumstances
would cease to be history and become
a record of spoliation and crime. A
small man does wickedly—a big man
does rightegusly, and his is a Panes.

His bigness is the greatness of’ ;sin-
lessness and goodness. :

hour. It. has, sounded many before.
None, however, more, important 4nd’
far reaching thin the present. As’al-
ways it is an hour of’ chamge and re-
form. It tolls in the music of mag-

T-Y! "This is the ‘61a*%ord ofa new.
national anthem that. shall save us
and rejuvenate our country. Like
all hours marked by history’s strokes,’
it has its demand. The greatest hour
of history demanded a world saving
sacrifice, and all times point back
to Christ, ' saying: First, ‘Behold
the man!’’—the greatest man of
earth’s greatest hour. Second, ‘Be
like Him, serve, sacrifice; save.”” And
the Christ gives us our motto, our
principle of financial salvation:
“Wist ye not that I must be about
My Father’s business?” ‘Earth’s bus-
iness must be made God’s business.
Christianity has given the world
its greatest and best. As it has been,
so it must be. We may truly say, so
it is. The demands of the world on
the church are seldom disappcinted.
The few failures but prove the rule
that the bank of faith can supply
the calls of sight. I hail the coming
day, the advent of the most exalted
type of Christian. In law and litera-
ture, in art and science, among capi-
talists and laborers, statesmen and
citizens, let us have what we need,
namely—Christian men—that is, men
—Christlike.
The third treasure he secured was
wisdom. ‘We see in Zaccheus one
who could make money, but was now
bound to make it honestly and will-
ing to use it well. It may be ob-
jected that all his money was not
dishonestly obtained. Let us accept
that as a fact, for it is not possible
that the gifts of a few thousands or
millions should give the guilty con-
science peace. He found this as far
as it could be obtained in restitution.
The restitution proved what he want-
ed to be; his gift of half his goods,
what he was. We can almost feel his
conversion, as his actions accuse him-
self of hoarding and indulgence. His
desires seem to broaden from being a
lake of pleasure to becoming a river
of blessing. The use of wealth is a
great art and a wise wealth user is
indeed an artist. Let us presume the
same conditions to prevail in our day;
one-half of my goods to the poor, one-
half of the accumulated wealth-—the
wealth that is making people selfish
and self-indulgent, often wasteful and
wicked—one-half this wealth would
prosper charity, missions and the
cause of Christ beyond all our fond-
est dreams. Yet let us remember the
church is blessed with great wisdom
and willingness to use wealth for the
good of the race and the glory of God.
The wealth of all the world is held
largely by the professed followers of
Christ. This is as it should be, not
because it is by them most deserved,
but because it is by them best used.
The wealth of the world may be held
largely by Christians, but it belongs
to God, No man is truly a Christian
rich man, unless he is a liberal giver,
and even the Christian poor often
prove that it more blessed to give
than to receive.
The fourth treasure that he se-
cured was salvation. ‘‘This day is
salvation come to this house,” so said
Christ. Does it pay to get right with
God and to square up with men? As
well ask, Does it pay to buy gold
cag.®; with trade dollars? Salvation
is truly the ‘Pearl of Great Price”
which, once found, it is worth all to
obtain it. Directly, salvation is ever
and always free—without money and
without price; indirectly, it is secured
by humiliation, restitution, confess-
ion and liberality.
Salvation is so great it must cost
and so great it cannot be purchased.
Not all of earth’s wealth and treas-
ures can buy salvation, for we were
redeemed not by silver or gold, but
by the precious blood of Christ. Zac-
cheus was to have less of material
things, but so much more of spirit-
ual things. There are lives loaded
with material wealth and blessings
that are just sinking them in sin and
wickedness. They are sure to strike
the rocks of an accusing conscience,
and condemning heart. Man lightens
the ship. Restitution and liberality
will prepare the way for God’s great
blessing of salvation.
How rich Zaccheus became that
day! Like Mary, he found that bet-
ter part—a treasure that the world
cannot give, neither take away. He
is a living testimony that honesty
pays and the square deal is prefita-
ble. He gained life's greatest pos-
session—the salvation of his soul.
And strange to say, he began to be
doubly rich when he was converted.
He learned to give to the poor, and
thus started to lend to the Lord. His
treasures were simply transferred;
for every honest dollar sincerely giv-
en in charity and liberality is so saved
beyond the rainy day, treasures i
up in Heaven. God give us the fea
of doing wrong; a daring courage
right our wrongs, and an unwavering
faith to do well with what is truly
our possessions. To hold is to lose; |
to give is to save. God grant that in |
this grace of giving we may abound
to the blessing of others on earth, |
and the enriching of ourselves in |
Heaven.

Ad iotible, self-forgetting love,

marvelously describe our relation to
Him, “Hix own.” What a dignity it
sets upon us—we are “His own.’
How clear it makes our absolute se-
sugity (comp. ch. 17:12). Fow do I
know I shall spend eternity with
Him? How do I= °know that the
mighty and subtle Satan. will never
prevail to get me? Why do I rise

bitions and its allurements' and its
blandishments? How do T know He

wealth of His love? Tam “His own.’

Note that death is “departing out of
this world unto the Father.” There is
nothing then so dreadful for the be-
Lore in what men call death (ch.
14:28; Phil. 1:21.:23: 2 Cor. 5:8).
We see the black background of the
Saviour’s unceasing love—the unceas-
ing malignity of Satan, inesmaiing it-
self in a human heart (v. 2, R. V.).
Judas got his awful Rk direct
from the devil. If Judas had been
told at the beginning the depth of in-
famy to which he would" sink, he
would have been horrified. The very
same devil, who was active in Judas’
time, is around to-day. We do well
to ponder and act upon Eph. 6:10-18.
What a picture of how the Father
glorified Jesus and how He humbled
Himself in verses 3-5. Ontheone hand
“the Father had given all things into
His hands” (comp. ch. 3:35; Matt.
11:27: John 5:22, 17:2; Mati.
28:18; Bph..1:21, 22; Heb. 1:2; 2:8,
9; 1 Cor. 15: 27); ‘He came forth
from God,” and “went to God.”” On
the other hand, “He. riseth from the
supper,” ‘laid aside His garments,”
“took a towel,” etc., etc. He did these
seven things in full consciousness of
His divine authority, divine origin
and divine destiny. When the con:
sciousness of superiority of rank or
ability tempts us to shirk the lowliest
services for the humblest of God's
children, we will do well to recall
this scene and remember. that “the
servant is not greater than his Lord”
(v. 16), and to let this mind be in us
which was also in Christ Jesus (Phil
2:5; note context). This was a mira-
cle of humility and grace. So we can
make the common acts of life amaz-
ingly glorious if we perform them in
His spirit. Oh to think of the glorious |
Christ taking our vile feet into those
hands that by their touch cleansed
tie leper, opened blind eyes, healed
the sick and raised the dead, and
washing and wiping them! There is
a filth infinitely more repulsive to
Him than the filth of the roads, the
filth of sin, and He is _ handling our
feet each day and washing it off.
What a wonderful Saviour! Jesus’
acts in this scene symbolize His whole
work. He ‘“riseth from supper’—
rises from His rightful place in glory
and enjoyment. He ‘laid aside His
garments’”’—so He laid aside the gar-
ments of divine majesty (Phil. 2:6,
7). He “took a towel and girded
Himself’—took upon Him the form
of a servant (Phil. 2:7). ‘He pour-
eth water into a basin’’—provides the
cleansing word (John 15:3). ‘‘Began
to wash the disciples’ feet’’—applies
the cleansing water (Eph. 5:26). Took
His garments (v.12 ) —reassumed His
glory (Jno. 17:5). ‘‘Sat down again”
(v. 12)—reassumed His place as
Lord (Heb. 10:12). As to Simon
Peter, note: (1) His imagined hu-
mility, but real pride (vs. 6, 8); (2)
his failure to understand the meaning
of Jesus’ acts (¥. 7); (3) his failure
to ponder the ineaning of Jesus’ |

little do we understand oftentimes |
what it is that the Lord has done to
us. What He had really done was
to set them an example whereby He
would remove the dirt of pride and
self-seeking and self-sparing from
their sin-stained souls. They were
having a quarrel among themselves
as to who should be accounted great-
est (Luke 22:24). Greatly did they
need to be taught to take the lowly
place of service rather than to seek
the exalted place of honor. We call
Him ‘‘Master” and !‘Lord” and |
do well to call Him so; for ‘‘Master |
and Lord” He is. But if we call Him |
so let us not play the hypocrite, but |
let us rather make Him in our lives |
what we call Him with our lips. If
He, Our Lord and Master, performed
the lowliest and most disagreeable
service for others, for those under |
Him, we too must stand ready to
perform tke lowliest services for all
others. Are we ready to do it?

Everywhere, even among the worst
of savages, we may count upon the
movings ‘of God’s Spirit.
Everywhere also there is the ser-
pent of sin, quick to attack the ser-
vants of God.
The servant of God is immortal till
his work is done; but tnat the ser~
pent is not always shaken off is
proved by the deaths of those mar-
tyrs of the islands, Williams, Patte-
son, Chalmers, Lyman, Munson, and
Gordon. *' !
The missionary life is one long
struggle against disease—disease of
the body as well as of the soul.
The Life of Paton.
John G. Paton is often called “the
Apostle to the New Hebrides.” Spur-
geon called him “the King of the
Cannibals.” No missionary ever had
a more thrilling story than he,
He was born in Scotland, May 24,
1324. His father was a man of
much prayer, and had a deep influ-
ence upon him.
Though he worked from six in the
morning till ten at night at his fath-
er’'s trade of making stockings, the
lad found time to learn the rudi-
ments of Latin and Greek.
He became a city missionary in
Glasgow, and his congregation grew
enormously because he led each
member if it to invite some one else.
In 1858 Paton was sent to the New
Hebrides as a missionary of the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church. He
first. spent four years on the small
island of Tanna, where he had the
most terrible experience among the
most bloodthirsty cannibals on earth.
His wife and child died. His fel-
low missionaries, the Gordons, were
killed on a neighboring island. An-
other missionary fell at his side. Still
he continued to preaeh faithfully
against - wife-beating, widow-strang-
ling, the eating of human flesh.
Iniquitous traders introduced
measles, to kill off the natives, and
one-third of them died. Confound-
ing all white men, they set about
murdering Paton. After a thousand
hairbreath escapes, he succeeded in
getting away.
Next he went to the nearby island
of Aniwa, which, by persevering la-
bors, he transformed into a beautiful
Christian community. He won their
favor at first by the unheard-of feat
of digging a well, bringing up water
from below.

Every Christian has a task, a call-
ing, a lifelong assignment to service.
There is always difficulty in this
service. The world is not friendly
to Christ and so it opposes his fol
lowers. Then there are in ourselves
powers and desires which, if used as
we are tempted to use them, would
hinder the work which we are called
to do.
How, then, shall we do our work?
How may we be sure we will suc-
ceed? We do not know how to do
it; we do not know where to do it;
we do not know why to do it; we
have no strength with which to ae-
complish it,
All this is true, but other things
are true. It was never intended that
we should do our work alone, any
more than it was intended that Moses
should be left to his- own resources,
or that Joshua should be expected
to bring things to pass without help.
The same Helper that promised to
be with them has promised to be
with us.
The Christian has guidance, which
is far better than his own wisdom
can devise; he has leadership which
is not dismayed or deceived by the
appearance of 0] pposition; most of all,
he has with him a present and abid-
ing Companion whom he cannot see,
and who cannot be miscerned by any
of the physical senses, but who is
none the less really present in his
life.
What does all this mean? it
means that the Christian is immortal
till his work ig done, and afterward.
Whatever happens to the Christian,
no opposition can succeed against
him. He may be disappointed and
troubled; he may see no apparent re-
sults of his work; he may feel that
he is a failure; but all this is mere
seeming. So long -as he is doing
the work of God in obedience and
faithfulness nothing can succeed
gainst him.
isl are some things that the
Christian must be sure of, however.
He must find what God's work for
him is. He must be sure of his own
powers, and not attempt to do things
for which God has given him no
equipment.
