I am sure they want the truth sin- cerely. Many of us read too much and think too, little, and forget that the same problems that face us now puzzled the apostles. Some have more light than we have '; let us welcome the fruits of their advan- tages and cease-wrangling over' a, b, c’s. Let us understand how the Bible writers looked at. the world long ago. It is hardly the olfice of ministers to teach what they have given no special study to, -mctaphy-' sics, literature, etc., and many will read these words of Gladstone's and go on as before. Such is life. Yours truly, GEO. 'A. POWLES. Chicago, May 28th, ’04. 1 earnestly commend those words to the thought of Rev. Mr. Hender- son and Miss Baker. Like myself, It, is not the Bible that produc- ed religion and morals. but. religion and morals produced the Bible. It is then, as any other, a properly hu- man composition :11 its mater and in its authority.” were to read some other works that throw light, upon it much would cer- tainly be gained. Matthew Arnold, a great. Oxford scholar and Bible student, dmlurcd that. no man Who knew the Bible only could possibly have a worthy understanding of it. And instead of studying Jesus the man (I say it with all reverence), .would it, not be well to study .the things Jesus studied a. little more ? What made Jesus great will make any man better, nobler, truer. Jesus had a. religion just as other men have, a fact that cannot be too often stated, and fixed his study "on these things”: Love, mercy, truth, chas- tity, patience, gentleness, etc.; These are the substance of his religion and life, not talking about him, or memâ€" orizing his history. Now, is there ‘any writer who can satisfy us on this question of the nature of the Bible, a. writer who is orthodox and. scholarly ? Yes, many of them, and no Christian will hesi- tate to take as a. guide in this mat- ter the great “I. E.. Gladstone. Let his learning vast and sound, help us all over this hard place and settle it for all time. In “Later Gleam ings,” p. 364, he says : 'l'ho va. Mr. Month-mun, in his svrmon on Hu- Biblu to the ()ddfclâ€" lows, to whit-h l have drawn local attuntiun, usvd tihvse words : “No ra- tional, unprcjudicod man can read the Bible and conclude that. it is a human volume." 12d i 1 . w W.- 1 t,chzmln-,Wux-(l( into!

Grammont, a prosperous farmer of Champlain Que; “and while the doctor who attended me cured me of this trouble, it left behind after effects from which it seemed almost impossible to recover and I grew weak and very pale ; my appetite was poor; I suffered at times from severe headaches, and the least exertion left me completely worn out. I tried several remedies, but. instead of getting better 1 was was gradually growing worse. Any work about. the house left me weak and dispirited, and I felt almost like giving up. At this time a friend who had used Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills with much benefit, strongly urged me to give them a trial. I got a box, and as I did not feel any better when I had used them, I would have given them up but for the fact that my friend urged that one 'box was not a fair trial. I then decidâ€" ed to continue the use of the pills, and by the time I had taken three boxes I found my condition was im- proving. I used eight boxes in all, and by the time I had taken them all my old time health had returned. My appetite had improved, I 6had gained in weight and the glow of health had returned to my face.

WOODVILLE AWAKENING Besides an engagement ring, the young Laplander sends his future bride s girdle and a quantity of brandy. He goes as far as the door of her hut, but remains outside until invited to enter. when a bumper of brandy is olfered to the girl's father. If he drinks it. it means that he gives his consent to the marriage. and the happy lover then pays the father a sum of money and promises to give the girl some clothes. fllnn a Salton- flult Do Retort Bo Wlnl m.

When a lad is in love with a girl in Lapland they run a raceâ€"not a {air race, for he is so heavily handicapped that it she wishes the girl can get first to the goal. but it she cares for the young man who is trying to win she lets him overtake her, because it she outruns him he cannot pmpose again. Several well defined groups or swarms of these bodies revolve around the sun in elliptic orbits, which art periodically encountered by the earth. Such are the Lyrids (April 19-22). the Leonids (Nov. 14-16) and Andromedids (Nov. 23-24), so called because they seem to radiate from a point within the constellations after which they are respectively named. It is computed that no fewer than twenty millions of these bodies enter the earth’s atmosphere daily, each one of which, under favorable conditions, would be distinctly visible. Occasion- ally they reach the earth in solid form. but showing signs of recent fusion or an outer layer. They vary in weight from some hundreds of pounds to a single grain. Their principal chemical constituents are iron, magnesium, sili- con, oxygen, nickel and cobalt. But even if he wins the race and the girl at the same time the young lovers cannot be married until they have the consent of the girl's parents. At one time it a man married a girl without this he was liable to receive capital punishment. They Are Slmply Falling Inste- 01 Stony or Metallic latter.
