EFMS HIS GLORY ?PACE OF JESUS CHRIST SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO THE HEART OF HAN IN ALL SITUATIONS. IT Is said that one day as the poet Tennyson with a friend stopped to look at some pictures ls a win dow on the Strand, the friend, knowing Tennyson's admiration for Dante, asked him what there was in Bailie's face that was lacking in Goethe'a The answer was instan taneous: "The divine." So the face of Jeans Christ speaks directly to the heart of man every where-to Pilate at the trial, moved and awed by the wondrous personality .afore bim, to the poet, to the artist, to the toiler, to the very heathen bound ID caste and pantheism and depravity, AD, catching the light from the face of Jeana, ho is constrained, as he seeks fe defend Hinduism, to speak ia rever ence and awe of "that great Christ" How wonderful ls sunhght. th? glory of the natural world. Niagara fias not beauty in the dark, but the ?a? makes its iridescent beauty the praise of all beholders. Row splendid is the light of intel feet. How like the san shines a Shakespeare, a Goethe, a Plato. But matchless in glory and perfect fti beauty is the right of love-beaming tn a mother's face, gleaming from a martyr's eye, shining from the ever radiant face of Jesus Christ E - rna! Lovellght God pours his lovelight upon the world fror_ the face of Jesus Christ He, the man Christ Jesus, is the me diator, the conductor of the lovelight from the heart of the Eternal to this poor dark world. The heart of mankind, lost and fearful as the babes in the wood, trembling and shuddering in the cold and dark, is ever praying with Xewman: Tread, kindly Light amid the encircling gloom," and God is ever answering through tho face of .Jesus Christ, the Light of the world. No man could endure to see God di jrectly, any more than one could gaze at the blazing sun without eyelids. God Jtnnst be revealed, therefore, through a medium. "There shall no man look ?pon my face and live." The universe reveals him indeed, but it veils him, too. In Jesus Christ God reveals his glory tempered to our human face. Man's heart hungers for something in God akin to itself, something of coir own weakness, something ap proachable and endurable. The world is not satisfied with less than God; it must have the best As Augustine cried: "Thou hast made us for thyself, and our heart is restless til! it rest in thee," Cold intellec tualism, or mammonism with its ease aad luxury, can only go so far. So tho ancient world found at the pin ** stacie of its splendor and its wanton ness. Men must find God ere their hearts bave peace. And we find him in the face of Jesus Christ, with his great warm pity and undying love. ? love that Indeed illumines the intellect and throughout Christendom shines deeper flinn the brain. "God hath shined in ear hearts." True religion reaches tile affections. It is the holy flame ?pon the altar of the heart that lights the brain of Christendom. Glory of God Everywhere. See the glory of God in the baby face in Bethlehem's manger, with the snag! and the shepherds bending near; snore glory than in all the purple and gold and the tread of armies aud the fanfare of pride at an imperial coro nation. It was the glory of lowliness which Is the uttermost glory of God himself. So the angels, familiar with the humbleness of the great God al mighty, saw his image and the bright ness of his glory in Bethlehem, and a multitude of the armies of heaven came to celebrate it in the ears of the lowly, while the proud and the rich vere deaf to the resounding heavens. hi nature are revealed the eternal power and divinity of the Godhead, bat tove is concealed or hut dimly seen. The God of nature roars in the peal ing of the.thunder and the howling of the storm and the raging of the sea. He smiles in the lightning's flash, and shrivels the verdure of earth with the flaming sun or the scorching wind. Men fear and dread this awful God. The heathen stand in awe of him and ?esk to appease him. It is only in the gospel, in the face of Jesus Christ, that we learn that-"Love rides upon the stormy sky-?ot wrath nor chance nor destiny-and death must yield to love." Our Dally Lifo. Our daily companionship with Christ should be the saving power of all oar living. If we begin the day in prayer with him lt will strengthen us for the day's tasks and temptations and hard places. If we every day con sult his words of life they will go with us. sweetening all the day and Staking tender and compassionate our hearts beside setting the tone of all oar transactions. Above al;, true com panionship with him is to look at all men and all problems through his eyes, to take his attitude toward life This is to have the mind of Christ Christ is manifested to the world not through sermons, but by the dally wit ness in our lives. When Christians are all Christlike the world may not accept him. but lt will know him as he is- When he is thus shown forth ho may draw all men to himself. Infidelity. Agnosticism is the passing form ot the old infidelity as the race is swept ap to an intelligent and abiding pos session of the eternal things.-Rev. P. A. Simpkin, Congregationalist Salt Lake City, Utah. ET knowledge all you can. and the more you get the mon.- you breathe upon its nearer heights their invigorating air and enjoy the widening prospect, the more you will know and feel how small la the elevation you have reached in comparison with the Immeasurable altitudes that yet remain unsealed. -Gladstone. CHAFING DISH SUGGESTIONS. The many valuable oses to which the chafing dish may be put has been oft told In song and story, but there is none so valuable as that which gladdens the heart of our conva lescent His appetite may be stimu lated by some delicate morsel which he will enjoy all the more intensely because he has watched the process of cooking. In the home where there is an invalid, the chafing dish ls al most indispensable. With the chafing dish, which may j be as simple or as fine as the purse j allows, one always likes a few pretty j pitchers, small bowls, dainty Jars and j dishes to hold the materials to cook, ? as well as the condiments and season ings. Measuring spoons and cups are indispensable, as accuracy is as es sential in chafing dish cookery as in any other. Anchovy Toast.-Toast four slices of bread from which the crusts have been removed, spread with anchovy paste. Scald a cup of milk, add two egg yolks and stir until the mixture thickens.

HEN WOULD be true, for tiler? are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care. I would be strong, for there IP much to suffer; I would be brave, for there le much to dare. -H. A. Walters. SOME LUNCHEON DISHES. One may serve luncheon dishes of ten for dinner or supper though with little change in the menu.

Little that is humorous attends the purchase of coal; yet one Cleveland man found at a coal yard in that city an individual who managed to infuse a degree of facetiousness into such a transaction. "How much is stove coal?" asked the prospective purchaser. "That depends." said the salesman. "A Ia carte, lt's seven and a half. Cul-de-sac, lt will cost you 50 cents ?xtra."-LipDlncott'a.

Are a Good Substitute Mushrooms are fast becoming a necessity in the household of epicures, but there always comes a time when fresh ones are not obtainable and when a spice of a little extra elegance ls needed for the larder, or to add a flavor to a grilled steak or a succu lent chop, a good substituto for the champi. non is found iu fried radish es, peel.J, and browned in plenty of butter. When brown and tender, ar range around the meat and send into the table, and wait for the exclama tions of surprise as one similarity of flavor is noted. Oftentimes if the guests are not apprised, the suhstitu-1 lion will pass unnoticed. Compotes of whiter fruits properly prepared help over that interval after the departure of the grape and other fresh fruits, when the palate craves thc pleasant tart of nature's tonic tr the system. The French housewife makes an intricate study of the prep aration of her conserves and marma lades, and her attractive dishes of jama made from peaches, rhubarb and pineapple, flavored oranges and ap ples, prunes and gooseberries are a revelation to the American housekeep er who hao. perhaps, taken less time to devote to the study of her table at this season. Many Americans who prepare and stew their fruit daintily enough fail completely in one of the most im portant points of serving through which an otherwise alluring dish is often spoiled. Compotes should be served either hot or thoroughly chilled, and not as occasionally with us, luke warm. Serve even the matutinal dish of stewed prunes from the Ice chest with one or two green grape leaves under their glass dish, and see how much the flavor of this pleebian dish is Improved.

Danger in a Dark Kitchen. No mar has a right to expect a woman to keep a sweet heart and a cheerful mind and live in a house bare of comfort and beauty and work in a dark kitchen. Too many farmers when building a house never consult their wives, take no thought of their comfort or convenience, and leave the kitchen the last thing to be consid ered if it ls considered at alL And it' asked to spend money on decorating the home would actually feel abused! A woman's life In the country is often necessarily lonely and she ought to have the very sunniest, most pleas ant rooms in the house for ber sit aing-rcora and kitchen. Most farm wives spend two-thirds of their wak ing hours in the kitchen, and no mon ey spent in making this place one of convenience and comfort can ever be wasted. Hot Cross Buns.
