There Is satisfaction in thus be- ing assured of the value of the pro- tective device most commonly used, Lightning causes much anxiety in the country districts--and with reason. Hundreds of barns and other build- ings are destroyed by it every year. Owing to the absence of fire-fight- ing equipment in the country, it is a "more serious matter for lightning to strile a home there than in the city. Lightning also takes toll of human lives annually, It is a menace that is not to be taken Hghtly, A college professor who has made a deep study of the subject asserts that there is much needless fear of lightning. He explaing that many bolts of the atmospheric electricity are only strong enough to flash from one cloud to another, and so are harmless. Most of the damage done by the bolts which reach the earth could've prevented, he adds, if mod- ern methods of lightning protection were generally employed. He ap- proves the Mghtning rod as one of the best safeguards, A As the season of thunderstorms draws nigh, it ds timely for country People, whose barns are not protect- ed, to consider the advice, It may be well for them to be on guard against lightning rod agents, but there i8 no reason why they should be skeptical of the value of all light- wing rods, ' ---------- THE SUPREME DEMAND. In his letter to the church at Colos- sae the Apostle Paul makes use ra irase in referring to the "highey"* religious teaching in vogue in that church, as teaching "after the tra- dition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." His supreme objection to this new teaching was that it infringed on tho rights of the Lord Jesus Christ, In this he gives us a standard by which any new theology may be test- od. Dees any new teaching regard the Work of Jesus Christ as requir ing & supplement? Does any theory of the universe depreciate the authority of Christ as Redeemer? Does any philosophy make the cross of Christ of mone effect? It so, such teaching, whether it be mew or age- old, is inadequate and suspect, As one finely puts it: "There are people to-day who are YOu $000 must dance and sing." The yh A THE DAIL His ethical code and the illusions of His spiritual outlook. This is no new thing. The history of Christ- lanity in has been marked by aberrations of this kind. Such views are hot anti- Christian by any means, Indeed, there is a plausible note in their appeals, which ring with serious ethical and mystical passion. They are often sincerely anxious to find a place for Jesus Christ somewhere in their systems. Only, He is merely an element in them, not the standard. Ane that, to Paul, is the fatal flaw in any system, however plausible and logical, not according to Christ." Beware of such teaching, says the Apostle. Yet in another letter he advises the church to "prove all things--hold fast' that which good." For Paul a doctrine was not necessarily good or bad because it was new. It might indeed be all the botter because it was new. For Paul's gospel ftself was a new word to the world, and in some sense every ving gospel must be a new word. But it must be a word of Christ. This test is. based on Christ as the all churches and quarters | is Y BRITIS BBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY SEEK THINGS ABOVE:-- Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth.--2Colosslans 3: 2 Ye cannot serve God and mon.--Matthew 6: 24.
