The train was started before the time agreed upon. and without Captain Miller being notitied. He stopped the train twice before the conductor came to see what the trouble was. Capt.

By the time the damage was repaired, another train, on which the missing members of the ladies' military company were found. came up. and the girls were then transferred.

Asa had done all that wisdom and prudence dictated to be ready for just such an emergency, but, as he saw a force out- numbering his own two to one and with vastly superior equipment., he felt that only God could give the victory. He prepared as though he must fight alone. when the test came he depended wholly upon God for victory. God honored his faith and gave him a Signal triumph over his foes. If we fail to make use of every means of strength which God has placed within our reach we will find ourselves weak, helpless and defeated in the test. 1 "The Lord hath given us rest on every side. therefore let us build" (v. 7). "Let us now prepare for the test when it comes.” Later events justified his pre- caution. Though God may have done much for us we must not be "at ease in Zion.” "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." We too have enemies (Eph. vi. 1'3). They may attack us at any time (I. Peter v. 8). We need to be constantly on the wateh, armed and equipped for the tight (Eph. vi. 10-18). A prudent king (vs. 6. 7). "In time of peace prepare for war." Asa did not settle down at ease because there was peace. He knew that l'udah had enc- mies who might at any time rise up against them. His counsel to Judah was, The worship of Jehovah restored. He was the God of Israel, their rightful Sow ereign and Lord (Exod. iii. 6, 13-18).No reformation could be complete which did not fully recognize Him and restore His worship. All thorough reformation, whe- ther of the individual or the people, be- gins by putting away sin, and, as far as possible, putting away the Occasions of sin, and ends in the exalting of God to the supreme place in the heart and life. All other reformation is spurious and a failure. ' A genuine reformitTon-rdo1atry abol- ished. It is probable that Solo n m, as well as Rehoboam, reputed before lis death of his own sin and idolnrv, but neither made any effort to bring about a reformation. Idol and idol worship re- mained. Abijah had simply fallen in with the prevailing conditions. Immedi- ately upon his ascension, Asa set about the work of reformation. He had not only abolished the worship of idols, but he destroyed the signs of idolatry in the land. While these remained they were a continual source of temptation to the, people to return to idolatry. _ -- l further fostered by Rehobosm. Abijsh, the father of Asa, "mUked in the sins of his father," Rehoboam, in whose reign it is said, "Judah did according to I" the abominations of the nations which the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel" (I. Kings xv. 3; xiv. 22-24). Asa had doubtless seen the debasing " fects of idolatry and had resolved that on coming to the kingdom he would seek to bring about a reformation. Our lesson tells how thoroughly he carried out He purpose and the happy regults. _ _ HELD TRAIN BY FORCE. The 51.1mm C. P. It. train. which left Mystic 1v.hatt,.Charlestown. .

After thoroughly establishing them- selves in possession along the southern fringe of houses under the jong the Gurkas made a gallant attempt to carry the main gate of the jong, but found it too strongly defended. in spite of well- directed support from the guns. The climax of the day occurred late in the afternoon. General Macdouald chose a spot in the defences on the extreme east of the Jong and directed a heavy lire upon it. At last the concentration of tire attained its end, and as the wall fell the Thibetans, who had attempted a gallant defense, were driven to ahandon their position.
