people attach to it, the most neglected book in the world.Few homes, among the great middle class which forms the backbone of our country, have been without a copy of it; and yet in few home where the book was to be found was it read except at rare intervals, by any aside from those required to read it in preparation for Sanday school teaching.Even the Sunday schoo) scholar expects to find everything he needed in his lesson leaflet and frequently did sot own a Bible, although attending a school expressly organized for its study.Within the past ten years a great change has taken place, the Bible has been printed in modern literary form and its wonderful character as a collection of unique literature has commanded the admiration of those who were not interested in it from a religious point of view.The historical metnod, that is, the study of the Biblical events and currents of thoughts in relation to the times, and the oriental pation from which it came, has added new interest and color to events that were remote from western imagination and experience.The expenditure of immense sums in evacuation in eastern lands bas brought to light a multitude of remains which illustrate.cosfirm and give life to many statements contained in the Bible.Perhaps one of the most active agencies in bringing the result of these influences into a form in which they might be useful to the average man or woman, has been the American Institute of Sacred Literature.Founded some twenty years ago by President William Rainey Harper, this institute has invested large sums of money in the popularization of Bible study with at times small prospects of returns.As a natural and proper outcome of its relationship to the President of the University of Chicago, and the success of its work, it has just now been incorporated in the Extension Depart: ment of the University of Chicago.This is a step which insures a wider usefulness which must come with association with a firmly established University and a possibility of better financial support.The work of the Institute includes.Lecture Courses, Correspondence venture with a big buck deer one day is inspecting the work now

sooner we reach the place where we can discuss religious matters with candor and with the intelligence, based on reading and study which we bring to other affairs of life, the sooner we have a larger proportion of intelligent and useful Christian activity.The Bible is above all things a book the study of which cultivates the necessary virtues of common sense and high ideals.The element of intense and living tuterest which now attends the study of the Bible must have an influence upon our national politics and business as well as upon our national religion.Let old as well as young inform themselves concerning the opportunities offered by the Institute of Sacred Literature of the University of Chicago.A million-dollar hotel Is in prospect for Bennington, three of the wealthy men of

Bellows Falls are always ready to adopt measures which have proved advantageous elsewhere 80 last year they entered heartily into thestamp savings system suggested and carried on by the Women's club.A report of the good work done last year will perhaps awaken even more interest for the coming year; 567 scholars took out deposit cards and the total amount of money brought in by these scholars was

H.8.Webster & Co.The door knob on the post office safe was knocked off and the hole filled covered with quilts and blankets stolen from E.H.Lothrop\u2019s livery stable, The safe was utterly ruined by the explosion.The stolen goods consisted of a few stamps, a watch whichwasina registered package and a few pennies.After the post office raid they forced the door leading from the office to the drug store where they stole cigars, helped themselves to some ice cream and ransacked the money drawer.They took about $3 in pennies.Entrance to the building was gained by breaking a window and turning the sash lock.They left by doors leading from the post office.Some of the occupants of the hotel nearby are said to bave heard sounds about the time of the break, but it was thought to have been made by the horses in the livery stable and so no alarm was given.It was claimed that four suspicious looking persons took the early morning train for Canada, and many people breathed a sigh of relief when it was learned that the suspects had left town immediately, but on Saturday morning the home ¢f Dr.G.B.Rowell was visited, presumably by the same gang.This occured in the early morning hours and was attempted in the same manner as the post office and drugstore break.A pane of glass was broken in the pantry window, and the lock on the window was partly turned, but the barking of the dog drove the thieves away.The commotion attending this attempt aroused the family who found that a screen had been taken from the window and the putty aroubd the glass had been dug off.Although the work done shows the gang to be alot of amateurs they are certainly very cool about their work.Before leaving the Row- oll residence they carefully replaced From the actions displayed .out the series 14 Is now thought

Men and Boys.Diamond Dye Fast Black for Wool, Diamond Dye Fast Navy Blue for Wool and Diamond Dye Fast Seal Brown for Wool, are always fashionable autumn colors for your husband\u2019s and son\u2019s coats, veste, trousers, and fall and winter overcoats.Coats, vests, trousers and overcoats that are faded and dingy can be made to look as good as new when you use the celebrated DIAMOND DYES in the colors above mentioned.Many families save scores of dollars each year by using DIAMOND DYES.Do not allow any dealer to sell you weak, crude and dangerous dyes with fancy names.Such package dyes are snares and delusions, and are sold only for the benefit of the merchant who handles them, as they pay large profits.Wise and prudent women always insist upon getting the DIAMOND DYES, sold at 10 cents, same price as the worthless dyes.If your dealer cannot supply you, send money and state colors wanted, and Wells & Richardson Co., Limited, Montreal, P.Q., will send you the dyes by mail.HAUNTS

Is One of Bra- sil\u2019s Peculiar Growth.The Brazilian flower known as the running antelope is so called because its white petals have a series of well defined, dark colored lines and dots in | which the imagination can readily trace the form of an antelope, with its limbs outstretched and head thrown back, seemingly ficeing for its life.In the \u201ccaricature plant\u201d one species has the imitative form on the petals, another has it outlined in the ribs and shading of the ribs.This last mentioned curipsity bears a remarkably well executed likeness of the Duke of Wellington and has on that account been named Arthur and His Nose.Among the orchids the imitative form is entirely different in character, being exhibited in the shape of the flower itself, Some are exact counter- feite of bees, butterfiles, moths, etc, while others take upon themselves the form of worms and beetles.Naturalists boliove that in the first instance it 1s nature's trap to lure other bees, moths and butterflies, but in the case of the worm and beetle orchide or those that are exact counterparts of toads, lizards and huge spiders they do not attempt to explain.\u201cWomen\u2019s Headaches\u201d

THE COLT.His Training Should Begin at Birth.Weaning the Foal.The weaning of a foaj should be done gradually, as it is well to have the foal taught to eat all sorts of food before removing it from the dam, and it should be handled well and carefully from its birth.If such be carried out properly when weaning time has come, which should be at five or six months, confine the foal in a loose box in which there is nothing to get entangled among and feed it on soft feed, which you have already taught It to eat.It is much better to separate them entirely.In the meantime the dam\u2019s diet should consist of dry food, and it is well to put her to work.The milk should be removed, but not milked dry every time.With dry food and work the secretion of milk will soon cease.From this time until the foal becomes a yearling it should be well fod, as 8 stunted foal never matures properly, and more colts are injured during the first six mouths by too scanty a supply of food than by the other extreme.As soon as the foal is properly weaned it should have the run of a good pasture, as there is no food better than grass, no medicine as good as exercise, fresh air and sunlight.We will suppose the foal to be weaned and turned to grass for some time through the day and put in the stable at night and fed a little oats.As soon as winter sets in the foal should have a loose box and be let out every day for an hour or two, feeding a little bran mash, a few carrots and clover hay.In that way it will come out in good shape in the spring.And by using It to lead by the time It is weaned it will lead like an old horse, and if continued right on until it Is ready to break to harness there will be no trouble.In fact, it is aiready broken.\u2014Rob- ert Ness Before Canadian Horse Breeders.A Sign

which are now concluded were peculiar in nature.On one side, the delegates were four Swedish Ministers, who at the time of the Riks- dag decision were leading members of the committee which framed the Swed- sh conditions to assent to dissolution.On the other side the delegates were men who led Norway in its revolution of June 7, but who were not guided by any decision of the Storthing.On the contrary, their every act was looked cal.When Sweden's conditions were made known.many volces in Norway were raised against acceding to them.Premier Michelsen of Norway was more conservative, and seeing the consequences to Norway of a breach with Sweden was willing to enter into an agreement so long ae it was honorable to Norway and preserved as much as possible her national pride.M.Berner, President of the Norwegian Storthing, and M.Loveland, the Norwegian For- elgn Minister, were perhaps not so willing, but they followed Premier Mi- Chelsen.For Good Feeling.The purpose of the Swedish delegates was to make an agreement preserving the good feeling between the two peoples.From this viewpoint, of course, Sweden was compelled to insist upon demolition of the frontier fortifications, which Norway, notwithstanding the close relations of the countries, bad erected against Sweden's entirely unfortified frontier.The first Purpose of the Swedish delegates was to harry as little aa possible the feelings of Nor- Fay and the Swedish delegates throughout the proceedings have tried to find out & way in which the fortress located farthest from the frontier could be made less threatening, while the Others they contended should de de- olished.It is believed this point was successfully oarried.The Swedish delegates were also anxious to preserve free and untrammelled intersourse between the two countries, and they therefore proposed that certain agree- Monts be made regarding transit and Waterways which wers equal in benefit to both, and which would prevent one country from interfering with the othe tr.These matters also were settled to the satisfaction of both sides.Hunting of Reindeer.an nally Sweden did not consider that bod could leave unprotected the

War-\u2014German Chanoeller\u2019 Able to Give a Tin.A fascinating article appears in The Nineteenth Century for July, describ ing conversations wiih the late Lord Rowton, the famous secretary of Lord Beaconsfield.The most interesting passages in this article are those deal ing with the Berlin Congress, The day Lord Beaconsfield arrived at Berlin he had an interview with Prince Bismarck at the Radziwill Palace.While the interview was In progress Mr.Montague Corry (as Lord Rowton then was) strolled about under the trees: \u201cWhilst I was walking th-re, what was my surprise to hear my own name called out, \u2018My dear Monty!\" I turned In astonishment, and beheld Count Schouvaloff, who was then, as you know, Russian Ambassador in London.We were old and intimate friends in London, where we saw a great d-al of each other.\u2018My dear fellow, said he, \u201cwhat In the world are you doing here?I replied, \u2018I am waiting for Lord Bea- consfield, who 13 now closeted with Prince Bismarck.\u2019 His face tell.Obviously he had come upon the same er rand, and Lord Beaconsfield had forestalled him.That was the first move, and I have no doubt at all that already at the first interview Bismarck had taken the measure of his man in Lord Beaconsfield, and I traced from that a great deal of what subsequently occurred.\u201d , It has often been said that Disraeli was playing a bluffing game at the Congress, but his private secretary describes him as \u201cabsolutely serious all through.\u201d At a vital stage In the Congress the English representatives put forward four points, which were described as an ultimatum, for the acceptance of Russia.The Russlans said they must refer them 10 their Emperor, and the sittings of the Congress were adjourned for three or four days to allow the Czar to be communicated with by special messenger, \u201cOn the morning after that decision Lord Beaconsfield came into my room.He sald: \u2018I have been thinking over this matter very seriously most of the night, and I have quite made up my mind what to do.It seems to me impossible for Russia to concede these points, and, if they refuse, I have sketched out my plan.to England at once.My desire is, it possible, to get to London upon Sunday night, and to have a good night's rest.On Monday morning I shall go down to Osborne\u2014or Windsor\u2014and after lunch 1 propose to lay my report before Her Majesty.A declaration of war with Russia will follow.Kindly make the necessary arrangements for our journey.\" The faithful secretary found it was | \u2018was delighted.We will return © impossible to carry out this plan by re- - liance on the ordinary facilities, To get to London by the Sunday night it would be necessary to take a special train from Cologne.tation he telegraphed to the stationmaster at Cologne, ordering him 10 have a special train for Lord Beacons.field and himself at such-an-such a time on the specified day.\u2018That telegram was the turning point of thé whole at- fair.\u201d After an Interval of several days the Congress resumed.\u201cThe Congress met again for a final decision on this matter at the appointed time.Whilst the meeting was going on I waited outside, as usual.After a sitting of a couple of hours the door opened, and I noticed particularly that the Russians came out first, Schouva- loff at their head.Lord Beaconsfield, as was hls custom, came out last of all, and, when he was going away, he took my arm and sald, \u2018My dear Corry.I Without any hesi- have seen what I never expected to see.Russia has given way on all four points\u201d We subsequently discovered, of course, station-master at Cologne had been promptly transmitted to Prince Bismarck.He thereupon saw that Lord Beaconsfield wag in earnest.He knew, and this we did not discover until a good deal later, that, as a matter of fact, the Russians had received orders from the Czar practically to submit to anything rather than go to war with England.He knew that, but we did not.\u201d Lord Rowton added that the Rus- slans\u2019 pretext that they must consult the Czar on these four points was a mere blind.They did send off a messenger\u2014one of their highest diplo- mats\u2014but he left the train at Konigs- berg, and did not proceed any further.A Scottish Bail Game.Before baseball became popular there was an old Scottish game called \u201ccat in

diamond.In the centre stands a boy with a ball in his hand.At each hole is a boy with a stick, one of which he rests in the hole he is guarding.When the boy with the ball sings out \u201cCat in the hole\u201d all the other boys change holes.As they do so the boy with the ball tries to throw It into one of the holes before any boy gets his stick into it.If he succeeds the boy who is slow In chang

of machin ery or staff was nceded, Bessemer was Informed that no superintendent of stamps would be appointed.Thus he had deprived himself of a job.Forty five years later, after he had invented the \u201cBessemer process\u201d of preparing fron and had made a great fortune, Bersemer wrote to lord Bea- consfield, then Prime Minister, pointing out that he had saved the country militons without the reward of a penny He no longer wanted money.but the Government acknowledged the debt and paid it with a knighthood, Anglo French Marriages.At last a practical arrangement has been concluded with regard to Anglo- French marriages, which will put an end to cruel abuses.It has just been settled between the two Governments that no Frenchman will be able to wed an English girl in England unless he can produce a certificate from his Consul.The document must be drawn up in English as well as in French, and must, moreover, have been approved by the authorities of the two countries.The intending bridegroom will have to go through all the formalities which are de rigueur in his native land, just as if he was about to marry one of his own f-llow countrywomen.This, as I have remarked, will put a stop to crying saandals.The French marriage laws are very strict and precise, and Ignorance of them has brought many an English girl to ruin.She had gone through the usual service In church or chapel, and had considered herself a lawful wife until one sad day.when she was cynically Informed by the man to whom she had confided her future that, as the civil ceremony had been omitted, she had no legal claim on him whatever Many a heart has been broken, many a litle family turned out into the mireet, owing to the trust which the poor girl had reposed in her unworthy suitor.That these iniquities have too often been committed with dellberate calculation by unprincipled Frenchmen is a truth that has been demonstrat d over and over again.Henceforth, the English a matrimonial venture with a Frenchman will be properly protected, but it would be Just as well if she had additional en: quiries instituted as to the exact social position, character and means of the foreigner who haa expressed a desire

Polish Lithuanian provinces began yesterday at the residence of Prince Tscerbaloff, under the presidency of Count Heyden, Arter a lengthy debate the following resolution was adopted: \u201cThe Zemstvo and municipal coo- gress considers that the national Dou- ma will not give national representation in the true sense.Having in view, however, that the electoral assemblies uniting a great part of the social forces of the Empire, may serve as rallying points for the general movements looking to the attainment of political free dom, the congress recognizes the necessity for those Russian citizens who are united on the political program formulated by the Zemstvo congress to seek to enter the Douma in the largest numbers possible for the purpose of forming there a united group with the object of obtaining guarantees of pers sonal liberty and equality.\u201d Died of Broken Heart.Bertin, Bept.26.\u20148eventeen hundred dollars damages was the amount awarded by Judge Tetzel yesterday in the ease

Forms of Faith\u2014-Japan\u2019s Progress Ex- plaius in Part the Growth of Bhuddism in the West.GOD DOES NOT SEEK IN VAIN.In the Stanstead South Congrega- tjonal Church at Rock Island, Sunday morning, the pastor, Rev.William R.Harvey, chose for his subject \u201cThe Religion behind Religions.\u201d Mr.Harvey said: My text is the message which flows through the broad channels of the New Testament, and finds expression particularly in four different passages.In order that what we have to say shall proceed from a Scriptural basis it will be well to turn to the Acts of the Apostles 14:16, 17, the Gospel of John 1:9 and 4:22 and the Epistle to the Romans 2:15.\u2018He left not Himself without witneses;\u2019\u2019 \u201cThe light which lighteth every man coming into the world;\u201d \u2018The time now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such doth the Father seek to be His worshippers;\u2019 \u201cThe law (is) written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them.\u201d To many it will come, at first, with a shock, to be told that Christianity is not the only religion which is propagandist, or engaged in pushing forward its boundaries and continually enlarging its multitude of adherents.Those who have read that fascinating little book called \u2018The Green God\u2019\u2019\u2014 and everyone should read it\u2014will realize to what an extent the esoteric religions of the far East are exercising an influence in certain circles of American life.Not only in Cleveland, about which the book particularly speaks, but in many other centres of culture and education, in the very midst of a Christian eivilization there gather groups of men and women who engage in the study of the Persian Zend Avesta and the Hindoo Vedas and meditate afresh upon the lite and precepts of Gautama the Bhudda.Turning from America to Germany, we find the same state of things, only more accentuated.One great teacher of our present time considers that Protestantism in Germany is dying, if not dead; \u201c\u2018a royal prince has erected a statue of Bhudda in his private grounds, and his action is said to be typical of a widely spread feeling in the Fatherland.\u201d This would seem to chill the sunny optimism of our faith that Christianity is making ever victorious strides, and that anyone who has seen its beauty and its light would never again look on lesser things.But the same interpreter and teacher from whom we have just quoted, resets the shattered chords of our erstwhile confident music, into a truer and therefore more enduring harmony when he says \u201cthe religious spirit is there, but it is waiting for a new expression.\u201d Yes and groping while it waits, seeking that in some way it may find an utterance for the struggling soul within.Now men are, on the whole, rational beings; that is at once the predicate and postulate of the intelligibility of the universe.Men are for the most part reasonable beings; that implies a reason behind most actions.It may be a foolish or faulty reason, or an insufficient one which will fade out or be modfied in a fuller light, but when men in any large number unite upon a course it is fair to assume that they have done so on reasons valid to themselves.So far as oné can see, the reason back of a great deal of the movement towards Bhuddism can be expressed in one word\u2014Japan! That strange, dramatic figure upon the stage of nations! A people with the garments of an age-long slumber yet about their feet, but with heads crowned with victory and bathed in the full sunlight of progress! A kingdom where the echoes of a far distant tradition unite with the louder voices of the present.This nation already skilltal in statesmanship, conquering in commerce, triumphant in war, has excelled in those most precious benedictional gitts, grace, mercy and peace.No nation, not even Christian Britain nor Christian America has ever shown in \"the hour of unquestioned victory such self-abnegation as has been displayed by the Japanese in the Portsmouth oonference.And yet the overthrow of selfishness and the ever increasing sway of grace, mercy and peace are thought to be the special and unique task and privilege of Christianity.Wberf ve come to consider that the \u2018Uhristians of Japan number only a few hundred thousand at the most out of many millions of Bhuddists and #Shintoists, the question arises intis- tently what and what manner of fajthe Ale engi \u2014 and graces of the soul are like all fruitage, in that they have a seed, and grow through stew and stalk and bud and blossom to their end of sweetness; they cannot also like them bo imitated and tied on the outs de.Another answer is: The Eastern faiths are superior to our western; Christianity is outpaced and outflanked, let ns yield obeisance to the victor.This is the the answer of the cultured circles of Cleveland and other American cities; this is the \u2018\u2018reason\u201d behind the movement in Germany.1 believe that this reason will be modi- fled in the light of fuller reason.But what does the Christian say to these thinge; how do these answers commend themselves to him.It depends on \u2018which of him\u201d we ask.The question is insoluble in the old attitude of Christianity, which was: there is only one true religion, which meant there is only one religion, containing truth, and that is the Christian.Now this egotism has well nigh passed, within Christianity itself.What wondrous changes in even his short lite has the preacher seen.When he was a boy an interchange of pulpits was scarcely known.If a preacher from another denomination ventured into the pulpit of \u2018\u2018our church,\u201d we listened to him, indeed, with respect but with the fixed idea that he was either a \u2018\u2018rara avis,\u201d or a man not altogether true to his own church.The day of euch suggestions and suspicioninge is happily gone, never to return.If my Methodist brother or my Anglican brother\u2014if he would\u2014step into my pulpit not one of us would for an instant imagine that he was untrue to his own church.We would all realize that there is a fund of belief common to us all; some things most surely believed among us all\u2014that there is in a word for us all a religion behind our religions.We all find in Christ the fucus of our aspirations and the birthplace of our inspirations.But inasmuch as Christ came \u201cnot to do hie own will but that of Him who sent him;\u2019\u2019 inasmuch as be was the Revelation of the Father and the things he did he did not of himself, we see behind the face of Christ, the figure of our Father, God.And because of this we shall come to see all together that bebind the forms and manifestations of all historic religions, behind and often beneath the vast mountain range of error which bulks so largely to the view, stretch sweet and smiling landscapes and lie rich mines of eternal truth.Behind the forms, a single Force; behind the multitudinous and ill-epelt letter a unifying Spirit; behind the religions a religion.This is the answer to the marvelous crop of modern Japanese fruitage and the questions which it shapes, that even behind all races and peoples, all gropings of the nations, all dumb religious feeling striving for expression, stands the Infinite and Eternal spirit of the living God, who hath never left Himself without witness, who ever has been seeking for the spiritually minded to worship Him, whose Eternal Light lighteth every man who cometh into the world, and who has written His law deep into the hearts and conciences of men.This vision of the Eternal Seeker comes to the preacher as the one great inspiration for his task.Often would the heart grow weary and the arm weak, the voice falter and the hope fail, were it not that behind the shadow in which all men live, behind the transient and ever changing phenomena of creed and worship, the preacher saw the never faltering, never failing God.So that wherever breathed the faintest aspiration for the good and true, wherever clung ever so loosely the desire of man for communion with Himself, God smiled as he saw of the travail of his soul and was satisfled.For this vision of a seeking God has a splendor that will yet win the heart of the world.Behind every sob, every inarticulate cry, every heathen altar, all places of sacrifice, if we could but see Him, stand- eth a Seeking God who would by any means whisper to men the meaning of His will that they might learn to do it, for their own sakes and for the sake of all the world, till such time as we should all come to the measure of the fullness of the stature of the perfect Man.That God has ever been calling men and nations without respect to race or time or tongue or clime, is eminently a Scriptural doctrine.He called the Arab Abram from the shelter of the crowded city of Ur of the Chal- dees to live in tents and seek a city whose Maker and Builder is God.In due time he called a heterogeneous muititude of slaves from the taskmaster's lash in Egypt to the lands of milk and honey, if also of struggle and sorrow, in Canaan.But when these Israelites full of pride and seit glory claimed that they were the only called and chosen race, one of their far visioned prophets seeing into the heart of God, said: \u2018*Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel?saith the Lord.Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt?Aad the Philistines from Osphtor and the Syr- fave from Kir?(Amos 9:8.) And might not we out of our later knowledge and experience, add, di: Be not oall the Anglo-Saxons from Ger- man forests and the Pilgrim Fathers | from Plymouth Sound to Plymouth Rock, from Old England to New England?But this arrogant attitude of mind appears to have persisted in the Israelite, When Jesus stood up to deliver his first sermon, he told his fellow townsmen at Nazareth that there were many widows and lepers in Israel in the times of Elijah and Elisha but unto none of them were His prophets sent, save unto & woman not of Israel but of Zarephath, and a man not of Judah, but Naaman a Syrian.And many Christians appear to have fallen heir to this exclusive spirit.When Jesus uttered that broad thought, the men of Nazareth grew angry and would have thrown Him down the hill, and still it seems to excite anger in some quarters whenever the love of God is represented \u2018\u2018as broader than the measure of man\u2019s mind.\u201d But religion is not of one, it is of twain made one.Moreover religion is not a dogma but a life.When men conceived of it as a dogma it was possible to say some things that would only cause a smile now.The biographer of a certain illustrious cardinal suffered no feeling of insincerity when he wrote about his subject: \u2018he was a peculator of funds, not always clean in his conduct and not over merciful in his dealings with his fellows, yet withal he was a very holy and faithful servant of the church, and died in peace.\u201d When religion is acceptance of certain dogma then it may be divorced from conduct, but if it be a life, then just as tainting ore part of a lake makes all impure, so the evil of one part of a life lowers the standard of the entire life.Religion is life, and because life, it comes from the Infinite and Eternal Energy from which all things proceed, which Infinite and Eternal Energy, men call by various names but which the revelation of Jesus has taught us to cali the Everlasting Father.The religious is begun when and where there begins to be an interplay of the Divine with the human; when the Seeking God and the Seeking man reach out and clasp each other\u2019s hands.The Seeking God is seeking ever.Whenever the Men that He has made turn in their slumber, awaken from their lethargy and listen to His voice in their souls, and then follow after him in any fashion, at that point irrespective of age or nation, there begins the interplay of the human and the Divine, there are revealed the beginnings of religion.Aun individual is the microcosm of the race.Things.written large in history, including centuries in their development, are condensed into years and months and weeks and written diminutively in the life of a man.Recently your preacher was present in a Sunday Schoo! Convention where this question was propounded: \u201cAt what age can a child be converted?\u2019 This was no sooner asked than - discussion arose.One said, \u2018\u2018at four years,\u201d another replied \u2018\u2018that is absurd, I cannot teach my child to read at four, therefore how can I teach him religion?How can he become converted?\u2019 The discussion waxed vigorously; there was great heat but little light.Your preacher then ventured to suggest that the greatest difficulty ranged around the word \u2018\u2018conversion.\u201d It is always the terminology, the mere outward expression which causes division.If we forget that word \u2018\u2018conversion;\u201d if we remember only the Seeking God, ever striving to make us understand through our ignorance and error and superstition, whether it be that of sage or savage, man or child, then it religion be a personal matter, the interplay of the human and Divine, religion, not in full bodied form, but its beginnings, bright with the promise of potency, as the seed is full of the promise of bud and fruit, religion will begin for the child just when it is capable of underetanding personal relationship and you bring to its notice the Seeking God.Then if forgetting all about historic creeds, and methods of conversion, and all the complex manifestations which the religion behind has been from time to time and place to place enclothed, if forgetting these 1 take my little child who knows something of the meaning of his mother\u2019s love and mine, and something of our power to shield and will to care, and teach him just such simple, deep and true things as pertain to the interplay of bis life with God's, as soon as by the shining of his eyes I see he understands, then there has been revealed to him and to me the beginnings of religion.But it is the religion behind religions.When to come closer to this subject I ask him in the words of George Macdonald: \u201cWhere did you come from baby dear?\u201d and he answers \u201cOnt of the everywhere into here,\u201d and when 1 ask again \u201cwhere @id you get those eyes so blue?\u201d and he replies \u2018out of the sky, as I came through,\u201d I have started baby mine upon the track of those \u201csimple, deep and true things that belong to the Religion behind religions.And when later he feels in any deepening sense the meaning of those other lines: \u2014 \u201cWhat your chook Itks & wie, white 1 env epmething better than any one Moses: dpa llr ro EJ How did they all come just to be yon?God thought about me and so I grew.But how did yoa eome to yo ?God thought about you, so am here\u2019 whenever my little child in any measure feels God who seeks him\u2014 then there is the beginning of the re- lion that lies behind all religions from the crude and barbarous to the cultured and beautiful.Not only has God been cailing all nations in every age and clime and been thinking of men everywhere under all sorts of upbringing and all kinds of religious training and all stages of religious development, but men have been everywhere seeking and in some measure finding God.The lonely lad Jacob was not the only one tobeina place where God \u2018surely was,\u201d and \u201cyet kenw it not,\u201d but when he did know it there followed the, altar and the vow.Jesus was \u201camazed\u201d at the trust of a Syro-Phoenecian woman, and to a centurion of pagan Rome he said: \u201cI have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel!\u201d Faith outside the Covenant people; religions aspiration and religious feeling that brought the commendation of the Christ, and yet beyond the pale! The buried secrets of ancient cities are being revealed to us to-day.Old civilizations seem to stand out afresh recovered from the debris of ages.In some cases city upon city each built on the ashes of its predecessor has emerged from mound and dust heap.Deep down have been discovered vast libraries not in paper and morocco but on clay and eartheuware.After long study and painful research, the scholars have deciphered the records and stood amazed before the evidences of religious insight and fervor.These writings of a civilization hoary with age before our proud Anglo-Saxon race was born or dreamed of, reveal everywhere the consciousness of \u2018One above the needs or cares of men.\u201d So the \u201cBook of the Dead\u201d of the Egyptians containing as it does grotesque errors and fanciful foolish- nees, hae in it also lofty and inspiring truth.Ib ite higher flights it speaks as follows: \u201cThat which we speak in secret, all is known To him who made our souls.And Heis near And present tu us when we seem alone! .Who then can bless Thee?Who can render thanks For Thee.or to Thee?With what reverence To Thee O Father shall thy creature come?I cannot comprehend Thy power, Thy time! How shall I adore Thee?Not as though from sel My being sprung, as though I were Li own, But rather as Thine own and only Thine! Thou art the Mind who comprehendeth atl Thou also are the God who dueth all, Thou art Creator that createth all! .+.1 hey who love God, who love their fellow Find grace with Him.The mortal body dies, The soul lives on! It passes through the gate, It makes a way, up through the darkest gloom Unto its Father, to enjoy His face! So there dawns upon us a vision rare and beautiful.The seeking God seeks not altogether in vain.If behind the veil of man\u2019s ignorance, superstition and sin the one great unvarying and Eternal Spirit stands wooing men through the mist, calling them across the deep, every whither, wheresoever the sons of men are found they have answered to the wooing and responded to the call.They have not always understood the voice, they have not always walked as those confident of their way.At best we see through a glass darkly, and cry out for a little light that it may lead us amid the encircling gloom, not to illuminate the distant scene, but just one step in advance.But men everywhere, in measure faint or full, have felt within them aspirations too wonderful to be expressed and beard whispers of a Voice whose message was \u2018too rich and eloquent for their dim comprehensions to more than partly grasp, but they have moved out obeying as they knew, to give the best answer they could and yield the best worship of which they were capable.But in Jesus many things shine clear.Supreme His Kingly figure stands at the final lowering of all religious life.\u201cHe that hath seen me hath seen my Father.\u201d And because of this, were I an artist I fain would paint one picture in panels three and then lay aside my brush as one who had achieved his chef d\u2019oeuvre\u2014his masterpiece.But first I should wait till the Vision of the Seeking God had once more mastered me.Then when I had drunk deeply of the poetry and music and sweet compulsion of it I should take up the color and the brush.On this extreme side one would depict a royal form whose bearing would at once denote in perfect commingling, high dignity aud lowly service.On the brow should be the fore markings of a crown of thorns, upon the face the shadow of a coming cross, and in the hand a shepherd\u2019s crook.But in the air, soft as an angel\u2019s song, and issuing from the Eternal Throne should sound the message of Eternal Love to sin and shame and sorrow: \u201cI am come to seek and to save that which is lost.\u201d On the other extreme should he seen the figure of a desert wanderer, enshrouded in the mist, bent and without strength.Yet his face should be the face of one who has heard some faint echoes of the message of Eternal Love.With ear strained to catoh the faller tones and deever harmonies, he should move forward to the other figure, as yet, to him, unseen.He should take up his pligrim staff and press bis feet 10 the desert floor in steps at first un- gertaln but gaining confidence as be wont and beard in growing clearness the words of Eternal Truth: \u201cSeek gy J eee ERE od and yo aball find; sek snd yo shall re: ceive; knook and it aball be opensd unto you.\u201d And in the centre of the picture these twain should meet! The two seekers sbould come face to façe! And He who tbrough the lang ages has waited unwearied for the coming of His son should see of the travail of his soul and be satisfied, and he who through gropings and failures and broken footholds bad still held firmly to the religion behind all religions, should come at last \u201cto know even as he was known.\u201d But though he might think out many things by the way and invent stately worships to give expression to his striving epirit, he would never outgrow the religion behind religions because that religion is simply this: The Communion of a Communing man with a Communing God.I must leave my eubject bere, for the time.Next Sunday I hope to speak of the implications of this truth for our modern life, for missionary activities, and for the Redemption of the world.HOW MOORS MAKE FIRE.Bamboo Stick, Bit of China and Tinder Their Apparatus, Which Is Distine- tive From Other Savage Races.The match has been said to be the greatest civilizer of the world, but it has not yet completed its work.There are still tribes of barbarous and semi- barbarous people who use nature's means for producing fire, either by friction with or without apparatus or the contact of two substances which produce a spark, as flint and steel.The Moors use a method distinctive from other savage races and of interest not only for its uniqueness, but as showing the effect of environment on invention.This apparatus consists of a bamboo stick a bit of china and tinder.Cylindrical cases are also part of the device, one being a case for tobacco and the other a case for the china and tinder.The whole, connected with cords, is worn at the belt.To use the apparatus the native takes the bamboo firmly in his left hand and in his right holds the bit of china by the finger and thumb and on the thumb side pinches a bit of tinder.The edge of the china is then struck sharply down and along the bamboo, producing a bright and long spark, which catches in the tinder and ignites it.Very little practice is required to enable a novice to light a fire by this means.Obviously, when the apparatus was first devised, no china was available, and doubtless some sharp stone took its place.Now, however, bits of broken china such as are found in cheap eating houses are regarded as best for the purpose and universally used.The thoughtful reader will at once draw an analogy between this means of fire making and the flint and steel of our own ancestors.In the eastern tropics, however, bamboo is the commonest of woods and so was doubtless observed many times to make a bright spark when struck where flint, in contact with metal, was seen once.in consequence after the first bright thinker had devised this way of using the spark the method held its popularity and obtains to this day, although the flint and steel is so much simpler, easier and more portable.The philosophy of the device will at once be apparent.The sharp edge of the china scrapes off a bit of bamboo \u2014not much, because the wood is hard and the outside has quite a glaze\u2014but enough to be made incandescent by the friction of the stroke.The tinder catches this spark, and the desired flame is the result.\u2014Scientific Amerl- can., REPLACES TRI-COLOR.New Flag Which Flies At Ottawa Religious and National.The first French-Canadian flag to be flown in the Ottawa Valley is flying over the summer residence of ex-Ald.J.U.Vincent at Woodroffe, off the Richmond road, says The Ottawa Journal.Ald.Vincent describes the meaning of the flag in a letter to The Journal, as follows: As requested by you I enclose herewith a cut of the flag that is being generally adopted by French-Cana- te 0 WN wn REPLACES TRI-COLOR.dians.You are aware that up to the present time we have had no special flag which we could claim as our own.The pale blue shade in this flag is the color carried by the French-Canadian troops in the battle of Carillon, one of the principal events of Canadian history.The fleur-de-lis in each corner represents our history under the French regime, being aiso a symbol of our origin.The white cross, which is a sign of Christianity and is also part of the Union Jack, represents our history under the British crown, to which all French-Canadians are loyal subjects, The Sacred Heart represents one of the most virile devotions of our religion, and is an expression of our faith as Catholics, which is one of the chief characteristics of French-Cana- dians.The maple leaves represent Canada as à whole, to which we have ven our love also symbolised by the which is the centre of love ia the bumen being.;
