The child of the highest. civilization and the son of the deepest savagery are here seen upon the same level. Human life is unendurable where sin'taints and wrecks the gains both of thought and of material endeavor, Education, culture, wealth--what are these worth where depraved passion has mad e them all its slaves? A million- are's home on Murray HiIl becomes quite as horrible a hell as any Mul- berry street sub-tenement whe a conflagration of evil er Dr unchecked. * The story of the deluge, well-nigh a universal tradition among all na- tions poesessing a literature, gives us certain teachings upon the ways of God's mercy, moving through the tragic dnd terrible events of life to- ward an ultimate triumph of godness over evil, Sin Self-Déstructive, The story of conditions in the an- cient world before the time of Noah corresponds to many a dark narra- tive of later ages . Evil is increas- ing among the children of men. The hour when the Creator looked forth upon the works of his hands and pro- nounced them "very good" seems to have passed, never to come back. The deeds and the desires of men wax worse and worse, Horrible crime and passion produce more dar- ing designs and imaginations, which in turn bear swift-maturing fruit. Where will the broadening cycle of depravity end? Seemingly only in the self-inflicted destruction of the sinners. "Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die!" Sin is suicide. "O Israel, thou hast destroyed thy- self!" is the prophet's true interpre- tation of the nation's plight in a later age of its career . So fell ancient Greece, perverting its love of beauty into, unbridled lust, and.debasing its power of noble thought to lowest levels of casuistry, So fell Rome in the hour of her greatest wealth and world-wide possessions, So will fall any nation, and city, and home, and sou], that lets sin have free course. The worst penalty of sin is sin working out its own nature and produting its inevitable sequences. Have the fires of hell cooled because men no longer believe in a literal and physical flame of brimstone? Not 80 . When a soul going on in the self destruction courses of sin comes to say "Myself am hell!' he is reach- ing the limit of conceivable agony. The Sphere of Moral Surgery. What is God's way of meeting this mad rush of humanity on the tobog- gan slide of ever-deeper sin? Shall a world of beauty and wondrous pos- sibility lie fallow and idle because man, the glory and crown of creation has blotted himself out of existence? What is the remedy? One that in its terribleaess shall fit the awful malady of the patient. Here is a cancer sufferer. The little spot of diseases tissue, seem- ingly so trivial, is spreading. Bv- ery day sees larger ravages of the de- vouring demon. Skin and nerve and sinew waste away before its mer- ciless approach. Agony, escrib- able now, and presaging worse things in the future, is the victim's lot. What shall be done? A poul- tice? A perfumed lotion to counter- act the offence of the senses? Con- cealment by bandage and elaborate screening? No. There is only one resort. The operating table---the keen, glitering knife, whose swift movement shall go faster and fur- ther than the cancer's progress. And so the surgeon stands prepared, bend- ing above the diseased tissue, and ready for his work. Is he merciless as his strokes cut and cut again? * Is it cruelty to thus mutilate? No, it is supreme mercy; it is greatest kind- ness, Even so the story of the deluge stands out as the earliest and sublim- est representation of a divine mercy FOR YOU IF YOU GIVES WAY? In dollars and cents, what Is the worth of the hrawn of your arm; hat is the value of the staying power that Jermils Stmtinuous r----what are they worth to you 'Suppose you did something so fool- By William T.

To save the good by removing that which is hopelessly bad; to replace contagion by isolation; to look. be- yond the terrible processes of the im- mediate presemgito the results that in due season shall appear--that is divine. It 18 God's way where no other way will avail. it is divine wisdom where human devices are avowedly helpless. However awful the tragedy, however fearful the pic- ture of desolated realms and count- less corpses as the waves recede, it is far less appalling than the thought of. humanity's doom if left to itself to continue unchecked the course of self-destructive madness which was invading all realms of man's being, For be it ever remembered the story of the deluge does not end as the waters reach their utmost height, and the inundation of plain and valley and hillside comes to its cli- max. God has not forgotten what has been blotted out of sight hy the rising and engulfing billows, The end? = No, the end is not yet. Some things are indeed ended but only that others may begin. What next? The Stimulus of a Fresh Start. Who does not respond to such an incentive whenever and wherever it comes? The new year, after the weeks and months of the old one have been crowded with mishaps and failure and follies; the new home, where old associations are gone, with their enticing temptations; the new task, with better adaptation to one's powers and one's likings---all these things send a thrill of new purpose into the soul that has grown burden- ed and" hopeless under old condi- tions. Here was the merciful] purpose of God, revealed clearly in the outcome of this tragic chapter, but to be equally attributed to every portion of A new start for a world that has gone wrong! The dove that flies forth and comes back with the first symbol of cheer goes out again and return no more. The ark, its purpose achieved, is abandoned, its one safe voyage a sufficient return for all the labor spent upon it. The preacher of righteousness delivered, not alone from the perils of the ris- ing waters, as they créep higher and higher above hilltop and mountain summit, but from the grave perils of the floods of ungodliness and deprav- ity which had raged around his household in the old days--for him and his a new world indeed opens as they go forth from a captivity which had meant a deliverance. So it often it, so it might much oftener be, when God sends junto indi- vidual lives some startling pMvidence which causes old things to pass away and all things to become new. Many a deluge of financial disaster leaves 2 man bereft, bewildered and per- haps tempted fo. despair; but out of the very ruins of an old life there may be built a fairer and a better fabric. se The Bow of Promise, It is ever present, just as sunlight flashing across raindrops has' ever, from the earHest dawn of creation, causes the prismatic colors to ap- pear. But men do not always see it; and we will need the clear reve- lation of the 'meanings of the Al- mighty to see the tokens of a sure and sound hope amid the storms of life. There is a hope which 'springs eternal in the: human heart," but which is a human instinct rather than a special divine gift. There is a hope which is born only of faith, a confidence which comes "out of the depths, "when we have entered them and emerged, conscious of God's presence and guidance at every point of the journey. For the believer in God's goodness in all things, because he is able to look beyond beginnings to a final goal, the bow of promise ever appears. No midnight can banish the clear shining of the Sun of Righteousness; and wherever his beams glint across the storms of trial and tribulation, and glories of a more than earthly hope crown all the con- quests of God's mercy ""Sothetimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord who rises 'With healing in his wings. When comforts are declining He grants the soul again A of clear shining To cheer it after rain." Religious Differences. Belleville, May 15.---Before Jus- tice Mustén 'in the non-jury sittings of the Supreme Court of Ontario, an action for alimony was disposed of. The plaintiff, Mrs. Evelyn Mc- Lean, Hungerford township, in her claim for alimony, stated that her main grievances for leaving her husband weré the annoyances and treatment accorded her by his re- latives, and alleged, religious dit- ferences between her and her hus- band; she being a Methodist and he a member of the Latter Day Saints. The action was dismissed, z mt. : As age creeps on, vital f6¥ée gradu ally decreases, until, when a man or woman is around 50, the kidneys and bladder need assistance to keep them in perfect working order.
