Orthodox Hard to Find.?A Scotch elder, who did not believe that his own minister held strictly orthodox views, wished to have his babe baptized, but would not risk its spiritual welfare by having: him perform the rite in any heterodox manner. So he walked to another town only to find the minister he sought, away fishing. The next one he was directed to had gone hunting. Filled with Indignation he said to his companion: "We'll gang to Maister Ersklne. That erodlv man will be no fishing or hunt ing." So he found the house, but as he approached It he heard the sound of music. When the servant lassie opened the door he remarked to her: "Ye have company the night. I hear - the fiddle going." "Na, na," she answered, blushing, "Robin could na play like you, but the minister aye fiddles a bit afore he goes to bed." The good man went away without making his errand known. No minister who played the fiddle could baptize his bairn, so he went back to his own, who neither fished, hunted nor played forbidden music, and let him name the child. Quenched.?Knowledge of any sort being built on study and research, the pretender to its possession generally has a short rope. An illustration in point comes from the "Memoirs ol Baron Stockman." A friend of the baron's went to an evening party at Frankfort, where he expected to meet Herr von Radowitz, who was somewhat inclined to pose as a scientist. On his way he saw a barn burning, stopped his carriage, assisted the people, and waited till the flames were nearly extinguished. When he arrived at his friend's house, he found Herr von Radowitz, who had previously taken a party to the top ol the building to see what he supposed to be the aurora borealis, learnedly dilating on terrestrial magnetism, electric lty, et cetera. "Have you seen the beautiful aurora?" he said to Stockman's friend. "Certainly!" was the reply. "I was there myself. It will soon be out." During the explanation which follower ed Herr von Radowitz quietly stole away.?Youth's Campanion. Why He Kept Silent.?At an evening party a gentleman related an adventure in which he had been the principal actor, and seeing unmistakable shadows of doubt on the faces of his hearers, he appealed to a friend who was present and who had witnessed the circumstances to corroborate his statement. To his utter confusion his friend denied all knowledge of the afTair. Meeting some time afterward the suspected Ananias said; "fe it possible that you can have for^^^gotten the circumstance to which I re^^^^ferred at Mrs. A.'s party the other night?" "Certainly not. my dear fellow," replied his friend;,"but I could see that everyone present looked upon you as an incorrigible liar, and I had too much regard for my character to risk being taken for another."?London Answers.

We're so almightly big an' rich that we kin?" "Yes, we've got all them things," interrupted a woman who had slipped into the crowd and grasped the orator by the arm.

"But, my dear," replied the husband, uuw tuuiu lie ?uu mis auuucu iuih 111 the road?" "I don't care," said the woman, very haughtily: "I shall stay here all night before I give way to him."

(l, l-lO?Memory Verses, 7-10?Golden Text, Prov. xxil, 6?Commentary Prepared by the Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1001, by American Press Association.] 1, 2. The bondage of Israel continued, and they sighed and cried by reason of it, and their cry came up unto God, and He heard their groaning und remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and His time drew near to deliver them, according to His assurance to Abrn ham in Gen. xv, 13, for He wilJ keep every promise in the fnlluess of time, through Him who came at the fullness of the time (Gal. iv, 4). Ail sin and wrong and , oppression is ever crying to God. and He , will see to it (verses 23-25: Geu. iv, 10; Hab. ii, 11; Jas. v, 4). FYom (he house of Levi God ordained that the deliverer, the human instrument, should come. "Known unto God are all His works, from the beginning of the woild" (Acts xv, 18). The man of the house of Levi was Amram, and the daughter of Levi , was Jochebed, and the child spoken of in our lesson was Moses, whose elder brother and sister were Aaron and Miriam (Ex. vi, 10-20: Num. xxvi, 50). Concerning this child it is written in Acts vii, 20, i that he was exceeding fair (margin, fair to God) and nourished up :n his father's house three months. In Hob. xi, , 23, the statement is "By faith Moses, when he v,as born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child, and they were not afraid of ! the king's commandment." The faith that sees God is not afraid of any. king's i commandment. Consider Daniel and his friends. 3, 4. This is the second of the three arks of Scripture, each of which was 1 made for a similar purpose, to preserve what they contained; the ark of Noah to preserve himself and family and all the . creatures which God sent into it, the ark ; of the tabernacle to preserve the law on l the two tables of stone and this ark to preserve the babe chosen of God. As God gave full instructions concerning the other two, I am inclined to believe that He instructed the mother of Moses concerning this one, for the record in Hcb. xi is that it was all by faith, but there ! can be no faith where there is no word of God to rest upon or be governed by, for faith cometh by hearing the word of God (Kom. x, it), w itn strong coundence in God did Jochebed place that ark with its precious treasure among the flag3 by the river's brink, and with intense interest did Miriam watch to see what God would do for her baby brother. 5, 6. "This is one of- the Hebrews' children." How true are the words of the old hymn, "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform;" Pharaoh decreeing the death of all the male Hebrew children (i, 22), and Pharaoh's daughter moved with compassion to spare this one who was destined to be the human instrument through whom God would humble the pride of Egypt. How blessed are those who have their inheritance in Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will (Eph. i, 11). Rev. Andrew Murray says, "No wonder that all things are possible to faith, which just means allowing God to work; God teach that blessed life of dependence in which the Son ever lived with the Father." Amram and Jochebed and all others mentioned in Scripture as men and women of faith lived this life in some measure, and it is the life that all believers should live, saying, "I live, yet not I. but Christ liveth in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God. who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Gal. ii. 20). It is ours to yield ourselves to Him, obey His commands and trust Ilim to work out in us all the good pleasure of His will. 7, 8. "The maid went and called the child's mother." How eagerly, and yet possibly with wise quietness, Miriam would ask if she should call a nurse of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for her, and at the word "Go" with what joy 6he would hasten to her mother with the joyful news that the king's daughter had found their babe and had sent her to obtain a nurse. He brings us to the place of utter helplessness that we may see how wondrously He will work (Judg. iiii, 19). He does need us to help Him out in His purposes as Rebekah supposed, but He would have us watchful and ready to do, if He should seem to require us. as Miriam did. It seems to me that the attitude of faith is well set forth in two nhrases in Nah. ii. 1. and Hab. ii. 1. "Watch the way, and watch to see what He will say." then "Do as occasiou serve thee, for God is with thee" (I Sara, x, 7). 9. "Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages." Only a mother can in full measure appreciate Jochebed's feelings as she clasped her dear babe iu her arms and went away with him; a mother who had her babe given back to her from the verge of the unseen would appreciate the circumstances still more, for this child was in some sense, like Isaac, given back from the place of death. May not every godly mother hear the voice of God saying what Pharaoh's daughter said to this mother, but how few seem to realize that the children given to them are a special trust from God for which they must render to God an account, and for which they shall be rewarded if faithful (Mark ix, 41). 10. "And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son." From Acts vii, 21-29. and Heb. xi, 24-27, we learn that Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and became a mighty man both in word and deed, but that at the age of 40 he refused longer to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter, and chose the reproach of Christ rather than the treasures in Egypt, and affliction with the people of God rather than the pleasures of sin for a season, for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward i and endured as seeing Him who is invisi- [ ble. Having fled from Egypt, he became a shepherd with the priest of Midian, married one of his seven daughters, Zipporah. and dwelt with him forty years (Acts vii, 30). His helping the daughters of Jethro to water their flocks and thus obtaining a wife for himself reminds us somewhat of the story of Eliezer obtaining a wife for Isaac, and also of Jacob and KaeheJ, and carries us on to our i^oru winning the woman of Samaria at the well and others through her that they might become part of His bride, the church. The God of Israel, who is also the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is calliug His redeemed ones to the same unwavering faith in Him as was manifested by these Old Testament worthies. The reason a dog can look so knowing is because he can't say anything to spoil the effect. X' If you are to believe that any sort of a politician is a saint, you must let him tell his own story.

HEATH & COMPANY I | to get on the mountain with a little pile of goods before us S ?* and brag about our past deeds, or what we are going to do in ? !the future. Instead we carry the goods in stock for the ready ? inspection of customers. These goods are bought with the cold 4 cash, with all discounts off, at prices that even the jobbers are q unable to shave, and the retail competitor who undertakes to challenge us, generally finds that it is not a sham battle he is up *? against; but a duel to the death. Our prices do the work. ' DRESS GOODS! DRESS GOODS ! i! i t We have received our third shipment of Fall and Win- \ J | ter Dress Goods from Arnold, Constable & Company, JNew ? | York. It includes all the leading shades and weaves in Ladies' fj x Cloth, Pebble Serge, Broadcloth, Venetians, Camel's Hair T | Cloth, Rain Proof Serge, Basket Weaves, Melrose Sicilians, + | Satin Burba, Granite Cloth, Emu Waists in all colors, along <| | with almost everything else the ladies could think of. And if 2 | we cannot save the purchaser from 15 to 20 per cent on all $ * these goods we will no longer claim to be in it at all. & I Come and look at them. We have never had such bar- g | gains before, especially in Ladies' Silk Lined Jackets. We | bought them from a manufacturer who was hard up for cash, ? & and we are able to offer you from $5 to $10 values at $2.50. j | I This is well worth immediate investigation.
