M. Steam I l l l l l l 1 often read what i copied from one' of Dr. Andrew Murray’s Bibles in his study in Wellington. South Africa. in August. 1898: ”The central thought of this book is God. Its one object is to reveal Godâ€"His glory. His will. His love. In reading it our chief desire ought to be to know God." I am re- minded of this as I read carefully our lesson chapter and note in these forty 1 verses some name of the Deity forty- four times (LORD or GOD. 27; God. 7; Lord, 2; Spirit. 1; Angel. 7). Thus the sin of Israel draws forth the love and grace of God and this time in connee tion with a great deliverance through a seemingly very weak man called Gideon. The chapter opens with the aft re- peated saying, “The children of lsrael did evil in the sight of the Lord." This led to great oppression by the Midianites for seven years. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble. ’ and He saved them out of their «lis- tresses (verses 1. 6; l’s. cvii. (3, 13. 1:). 2S). ln our lesson verses. 7-10. He re- minded them by a prophet of how He had brought them out of Egypt and planted them in this good land. warn- ing them against any fellowship with the people of the land. but they dis obeyed His voice (chapter ii. 1. 2) He calls us still to separation from this evil :ll'IP llllto Himself. but the god ()2 this age. the devil. who also ruled the inhabitants of the land He gave to Israel. is still blinding and deceiving the. people of God and running the so called church for his own ends. and those who are willing to see Jesus only and follow [Iim fully are com : putatively few Lesson lll.--First Quarter.

Gideon‘s readiness when encouraged by this sign is seen in his fearless de- struction of his father‘s altar to Baal. It is refreshing to see Joash stand ; with his son in this matter and to i hear him say concerning Baal, “If he i be a god let him plead for himself” ~(verses 25 to 32).

In an article in a recmt number at The Chinese Review, a London pub- lication edited by two Chinamen, the attitude of the Chinesc toward Chris- - tianity and the profound diflerence in the modes of thought which char- acterize the east and the west are discussed. In the China of the more recent times, says the writer, the same vivid contrast is discernible. One looks in vain for 3. Thomas Carlyle or a Wil- liam Wordsworth; nor can the ecstasies or the modern mystic find any amnity in Chinese .thought. There is no unspeakable agony, no mortal strife between faith and unbelief; and it is highly doubtful whether such states of mind can be made so much as intelligible to the eastern understanding. is The Chinese of to-day pursues his even course with equanimity as he has done for ages past, and is less perturbed by questions of faith and delicate casuistry than the Sage (Confucius) who had determined for him, irrevocably it may seem, his summum bonum. His needs are few and his ambitions attainable with ordinary effort. “To see God" and “to be persecuted falsely and yet re- joice” are beatitudes after which he entertains no aspiration. If he is literary he may hepe for honor, for state employment and for power to rule. For the rest he is content to livc in easy affluence without undue luxury or extravagance. The lower classes are permeated with the same atmosphere of im- perturbable contentment. In spite of economic pressure, of the many uncertainties of life in a frequently disorganized state, living is cheap and easy; and the Chinese peasant is no less remarkable for his simplic- ity of life than for his philos0phical calm in adversity, and for the elas- ticity with which he recovers from disaster. He was a young man, more or less in society, according to the state or his pocketbook, and he had invited two young ladies to dine at a fashion- able restaurant. Before the repast was brought in he called the waiter aside and said confidentially: “When I order Bordeaux you must bring us a cheap, second class wine.” The waiter replied that he under- stood, and the inferior wine was ac- cordingly served. When the bill was brought in, however, the young man looked considerably annoyed and tried to attract the attention of the waiter by discharging a series of sly winks and nods upon that function- 'Finding his efforts fruitless, he said, “Here, waiter, there is some mistake in the wine item.” The waiter courteously denied the charge, stating that Bordeaux had been charged for, as ordered. The ladies at once confirmed this statement, and the economical young man had nothing to do but pay up. Dogs as Artillery Horses. The First Army Corps of France is said to be considering the adoption of dogs for hauling artillery. The dogs in question are the big Flemish animals, which are largely utilized in the north of France for dragging milk carts and other vehicles. A good Flemish dog can be bought for 100 francs, and the cost of feed- ing it does not exceed 50 centimes a day. The lowest-price of an artillery horse is 400 francs and the daily cost of its upkeep amounts to two francs. In other words. the first cost of the horse is at least four times as great and it costs four times rs much to feed. Moreover, for .100 items it is possible to buy a dog in marl) better condition than the majority of the Frecnh artillery horses. Cut fine a quart or more of cold boiled potatoes (do no“. chop) and put them in a hot frying pan with a tablespoonful of butter which has been melted, but not browned. Let them cook slowly, loosening frequent- ly with a spatula. After they are partly browned (adding more butter as needed) add a pint or a quart of cold chicken out fine and cook fif- teen or twenty minutes longer, salt and add one-half cupful of sweet cream and a teaspoonful of chopped sweet green peppers. The quantity of chicken used in this recipe may vary according to the amount on hand. The village carpenter had given so generously of his services and sound advice toward rebuilding the school that when it was completed the villagers agreed that he should be asked to speak after the luncheon which was to follow the Opening ser- vice.
