A Ar y i Soaking takes the place of rubbing-- Jost by soaking the clothes in the suds of this new soap, dirt is gently loosened and dissolved. Even the dirt that is ground in at neck- bands and cuff-edges yields to a light. rubbing with dry Rinso. Not a thread is weakened. The mild Rinso suds work thoroughly through and through the clothes without injury to a single fabric. Rinso is made by the makers of Lux. For the family wash it is as wonderful as Lux is for fine things. 'All grocers and depariment stores sell Rinso. LEVER BROTHERS LIMITED, TORONTO LETTERS To The Editor The Witness of the Stars. Kingston, Oct, 29.--(To the tor): As modern theologians are closing almost exery doot and win- dow against the admission of evan- gelical truth and are tearing the Bible to shreds, will you permit me through your paper to draw the at- tention of your readers to the fact that they still have the impossible task of extinguishing the light shed upon the fundamentals from the heavens, of destroying God's illu- strated edition of the gospel as out- lined in the stars. They may scoff at "the allegory," so called, of the serpent and the fall of man, at judgment, at the virgin birth, at sacrificial atonement for sin, at God's classification of hu- manity, at the second coming of the Lord to wrest the whole world-sys- tem out of the hands of "the god of this age," but across the starry heav- ens God has written In letters of gold, with all rights reserved if one may judge from His intolerance of "sooth sayers and astrologers," truth for which, until recéntly, the church has ever stood There are, as every one knows, groups of stats which form the out- lines of gigantic pictures in the heavens known as constellations. The Encyclopaedia Brittanica states that they were recognized before Semitic times. = Among these constellations 18 Scorpio, the Serpent. Job, in speak- ing of the Creator, said, 'By His Spirit He garnished the heavens His hand hath formed the crooked ser- pent." God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven-r-and let them be for signsa." A sign is that by which anything is represented. Of what is the Serpent a sign? Surely Edi- heavens on a white horse to judge the earth in righteousness and to place "Wrong forever on the sca¥old Right forever on the throne." The Leo speaks of the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah," Who is surely coming with omnipotent power to bring the sfiswer to the prayer-- "Thy kingdom coma Thy will be done on earth as It is 'doné In Heaven." The signs of the Zodlac are un- doubtedly based upon God's revela- tion to man which antedated not only the outgrowth of heathen myths but the records of Scripture itself. 3 ' Night unto night showeth know- ledge (even the knowledge of salva- tion). There is no speech nor lan- guage where their vofce is not heard." - God from the heavens is speaking to earth through His "signs" as well as through His writ- ten Word reminding us that His gospel is still "the power of salva- tion to every one that believeth." Among the papers of the poet Moore the following was found and published recently for the first time in the London Times. It was writ- ten, Moore said, on seeing an allu- sion to the Scriptures which Byron "made one of his poems: Thou who hast known what would sadly know, Pléeasure's flefce throb, and Fame's exulting glow-- The cheating joys whioh through our being thrill-- Till God retrieve us! Say, it light divine - Dawns oy thy soul the viéw That holy page whence endless shall shine . The Godhead's glory--If a ray of true intelligence shall win thee to the mine Of Gospel treasure--All that man e'er knew | Of bliss and wisdom, Byron, shall be thine! ! all and brightens to Yours truly, of "that old serpent called the Devil and Satan," who cémes like that one creature which exerts a fascinating influence on its victims, fastening them with its glittering eve, stealing upon them by its low, noiseless, un- goen approach, perplexing them by its wide-circling folds, coming upon them from all sides at once, capable of crushing ts victim with every part of its sinuous length. It does not need to hunt down its vietims by long continued pursuit: its victims put themselves within its reach. Un- geen, Satan Hes in our path and be fore we have time to think we are fascinated and bewildered, his coils rapidly gather round us and his stroke flashes poison through our spirit. The very powers with which we would resist are pinned useléss to our side; to attempt to extricate one part is to become entangled in another. Deny his existence we may blot it out of the written word, but there in the heavéns is "the crook- od serpent" which 'His. hand hath formed," reminding us of his devices and of our need of a Saviour. Again there is the constellation Libra, the Seales which point to God's judgment against sin first at "a place called Calvary," then in & day of reckoning which is surely coming when "He shall judge the world In righteousness by that Man whont He hath ordained" and whose verdict in many cases will be "Thou are weighed In the balances and found wanting." . L Then there is the Virgo constella- | tjon---a pleture outlined in stars ofa young woman with a branch in her right hand and a sheaf of wheat in her left. All traditions empnasizé her virginity, The Greéks called her Parthenos; the Arabs, Adarah; the Hebrews, Bethulah. Seeds and branches represent reproduction or motherhood, In condemning Satan for introdficing sin into the world God sald--*1 will put enniity be tween thy seed and her seed (an un- usual expression biologloally indicat ing no Human father) and he shall bruise thy head." None but a super- man, a God-man, could crush the head of the Serpent. "The Lord Himeelf shall give a sign," sald FIsalah, "Behold a virgin shall con: His name Immanuel (God With us.) The first megnitude star, Spica, in the seed of the virgin's left hand, outshines all others in the constella- tion. The constellation Taurus (the Bull), Aries (thé Rath), Capricornus (the Goat) spesk of sacrifice. One ~he shall con~ sd and he shall unto the lows--"It a soul fess that he hath ceive and bear a son and shall call| oop ~--B. CARR-HARRIS.
