Taking it to the boss in charge of that, stretch of road, he handed it to him and said: "You must he more careful. Nothing must be wasted. Pick up all your spikes as you go along."

Dr. J. M. Hnbbert. of Philadelphia. 5 preached in the Cantral Presbyterian Church. His subject wr,3 "Life Hern and Hereafter." The text was from Phillppiaus 1:22-24: "What I r-hail chooso I vot not. For I am in a strait betv/ixt two. hnvirr: a desir" to depart, and to bo with Christ, whte'a is far better; nevertheless. to nbid? ? in ion nesti is more needful for you." r Dr. Kubbert bp id: ^ The words of the text remind ns of c pood Isaac Watts, who sr.iu: "Thank j God. I can lin down at night with no c concern whether I wake in this world g or the next." Seme people are world- g ly, chief!v concerned for things here j below. Some are other-worldly, hav- ^ ing thoughts and affections set on things above: and Bitch a man was Paul. This thinking about the future t Is by some calltd "Impracticable star- v gazing." But Dr. Samuel Johnson ^ correctly remarked, that "those who f think most about the next life are the t pro->l? who best perform the duties of this life." " Fir>t of all. the tBxt sneaks of our morality. In saying he has a desire to f "depart," Paul is not thinking of go- ^ ing froru one pica to another on the earth, hut of g^ing hack to mother earth?"earth to rsrth. dust to dust, ashes to ashes." This Is the way we t must all go very soon. King Philip , of Maeadon had a servant whose duty it was to wake the King each morning hy saying. "Philin, remember thou , ere mortal." Surely, we need no such reminder. We have enough all around us to impress us that "all . flesh is as grass." Passing through a street of a very healthful mountain town, and seeing a man with a hose . washing mud from the wheels of a . hearse, I said. "Do you use such things up here?" "Oh. yes." said he. , 1 "we carried out thrr>? ? ' ivavr.iuaj. . And that is ,iu3t what in going on . everywhere. The cemeteries are fast , receiving the teeming populations of cities, towns, villages and country places. Well may it be said: "Death floats upon every passing breeze, J And lurlts in every flower; ^ Each season has its own disease, Its peril every hour." Again, the text speaks of our im- j mortality. Paul has a desire to de- ] part, "and to bo." He has no thought j j of ceasing to be, when death comes. , j Death dors not end all. When the ! ( earthly tent is taken down, its oc- j t cunant will still exist as a conscious, . s thinking, alert being. The body is I t corruptible, it perishes, it dissolves; ; j but there is that within the body j r which is incorruptible, imperishable and indissoluble; that which no | f floods can drown, no waters can i 3 cuench, r.o fires consume; which is | j destined to outlive mountains, flrma- f i meats, suns and stars. A prominent ^ city social club has for its motto: j "While we live, wo live in clover; 1 When we die, we die all over." I Oh. no. we shall none of us die "all ? over." We die in part only. And < even though the body only is to die, 1 even it is to be raised again, and by < and by soul and body shall be re- . I joined, and then man in his complete I t ov.na.jiy snail live on and forever, r "Have you heard, have you heard of e that sun-bright clime, e Undimrned by sorrow, unhurt by time, ^ Where age hath no power o'er the ' fadeless frame, Where the eye is fire and the heart c is fiar.ie? * Have you heard, have you heard of * that sun-bright clime?" r Further, the text speaks of our ? chief felicity hereafter. Paul's desire is to depart, and to be "with Christ." The Bible gives different conceptions ; of Heaven, such as a place cf rest from toil, release from persecutions, ' freedom from sla and reunion with . friends. But Pair's fnvorita idea of 'A c. vAaes of companionship with . Jesus. True, Christ is with His disci- pies here and now, by Hi3 Spirit, but . in the hereafter they are to see Him . in His glorified humanity, ju3t as He . was seen afv?r His resurrection and . when He went up freni the slopes of Mount Olivet. We say "no home I without a mother," and what a I * mother is to a home, and infinitely j * more, is Christ to IIi3 redeemed cncs ' in Heaven. "When death those mortal eyes shall | } seal, { And still this throbbing heart. The rending veil shall Thea reveal, All-glcrious, as Thou art." , Next, the text speaks of the lm- j medlateness of this heavenly felicity, f after death. Paul's expectation is to t depart, and then at once to be with j Christ. The language will admit of ] no other Interpretation. He gives f no intimation of a midway station, a \ halfway house, between the deathbed ' and Heaven. Some people carry very ( ague notions of what is called the , "intermediate state." As there is an ? intermediate time, between the body's j death and its resurrection, so there is f an intermediate degree of blessedness \ for Christ's saints, who are not to I j receive their full and final recompense I - oi reward until after the general , Judgment; but there is no gloomy , abodo for the righteous, after this , death, where they wait to see Christ. , "To-day thou shalt be with Me in paradise," were Jesus' words to the dying thief, and such is the glorious privilege awaiting every saint that passes down into the valley of the , shadow of death. I , Once more, the text speaks of a | , certain halting at the very threshold I ( of Heaven. Paul is in a quandary, I , saying he knows not which to choose. Dr. Muhleaburg, who wrote the hymn. "I Would Net Live Alway," said long afterward that the hymn did not prooerly represent the best feelings of the human heart, and that be would be glad to live on in order to gave sinners and do the Master's work. ? There are many of God's servants who have this same spirit. They are not "at ease In Zion." and cannot rest l from toil and giving alms, because tbey see the harvest is great and the l laborers are few. The Master has for } I all such a glorious recompense of reward.

The ! >romi8e of God when made did seem I luite impossible of fulfillment, but 5od had kept It to the very letter.

The shipwreck lad given him ascendancy over solliers, sailors and officers, and now hese unknown foreigners minister i ibundantly to his needs. Paul was a ' ;reat man ? the world's greatest >reacher, greatest missionary, greatest J eformer, greatest philosopher, greatest man of letters, but Paul was not j ibove picking up sticks for the fire on 1 i wet day if that was the work at j land (cf. Matt. 20:28). The spirit ! if service was woven into the very . varp and woof of Paul's being, and ! f there was nothing for him to do to | lelp his fellow-men but pick up sticks le would do that. It was very un- | iignified. but it was very Christlike [John 13:5-15). The first result of i lis humility appeared discouraging I [vs. 3, 4). It seems as if he must | lerish, the victim of his own impu- ! lent superserviceableness, but it did lot turn out that way. It did add mother to the many things that Paul sndured for his Master (cf. 2 Cor. 11: 13, 27), but it also turned out to the j urtherance of the Gospel. It gave j 'aul an approach to the inhabitant* j >f Malta and afforded a testimony to | he truth of Christ's promise and ; lod's protecting care. These barba iar.s were very ignorant and super titious people (v. 4), but are the udgments of many educated and proessedly Christian people to-day any nore just? Paul seems to have been ery calm about the whole matter (v. >). No viper, nor even the old Ser >ent himself, could kill him before le reached Rome and gave his testiuonv. V. 6 shows how little value is o be attached to public opinion; a ew moments ago Paul was a "mur- | lerer," and now he is "a god." And >oth opinions were equally wide of he mark. Unhannv is the man who ! iepends upon public opinion for his ; :omfort. Happy is the man who leeks simply to approve himself to be unchanging mind of God (Gal. 1: .0; Ileh. 11:5). It was a fortunate hing for the household of Publius hat "Paul entered in." A man who tnows God, and has nower with God, s a greater blessing In any household n times of sickness and need than ill the physicians of earth. Paul was eady for anv sort of service; If peo?le were cold, he was ready to build Ires; if they were sick, he was ready o pray and heal. He knew how to iray so as to get what he asked, ( 'ever and dystenery are stubborn omnlaints, but they are no match 'or the prayers of a man like Paul. The hand that had been so recently lelivered from the venomous viper vas a good hand to lay upon the bodes of another that was in the ser tent's power (of. Mark 16:18). When >ne man is actually healed, he is a living testimony to God's healing lower and others will come and be :ured. So when one is actually and risibly saved, others will come for nalvatlon and be saved. The power >f Christ la its own best advertisement.

FIVE CHILDREN BURN Virginia Orphanage a Holocaust. SMELTON COTTAGE CONSUMED. Mysterious Outbreak Leaves No Time to Rescuo All the Tots?A Sacrifice of Life to Rescue Younger Sister. Lynchburg, Ya., Special.?Lain Tuesday afternoon the remains of the five children who were burned in the fire which destroyed the Shelton cottage at the I'resbyteriau orphans home, near the city, at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, were recovered, though they were burned past recognition. A coroner's inquest which concluded its work at 8:15 o'clock at nighi. threw no light on the cause of the fire, but the verdict included a statement fully exonerating the home authorities from blame. Later reports show that the fire was mscovered by the housekeeper in her room on the second tloor by smoke issuing through the speaking tube connecting her room with the kitchen. She was up to begin her duties for the day. The Ave children were all inmates of the nursery. The dead: Lucile Moorefield and Ruby Moorefield of Lynchburg, Mamie Reynolds of Batb county, Virginia, Marie Hickman of Campbell county, Virginia, and Mary Pool of Davia, West Virginia. The children were all in the second floor of the wing of the building and they were caught by the fire in a manner that made their rescue impossible. Ruby Moorefield. however, was taken out of the building, but when she ascertained that the younger sister was still inside she ran back into the burning building and lost her life. The fire was discovered by Mrs. Priest, the cook, who was aroused bv the roar of flames. When she saw that it was impossible to get the children out by the stairway, the entire basemer and first floor at that time being enveloped, and that it would be but a few minutes before the whole building would fall, she rushed to the third story and brought fifteen children down to the second floor, where they were taken down a ladder, several of them dropping into outstretched arms of the older boys in the institution. When these children were all safe, Mrs. Priest had to jump for her life and in so doine sustained a dislocat ed shoulder, a scalp wound, and an injury to her back. She will probably recover. While all of the escapes were miraculous, only one of the girls, rescued was injured and she escaped with a sprained ankle, sustained by jumping. CONFESSES TO TRIPLE MURDER Kills His Two Sisters and Husband of One?Could Kot Keep th? Secret. Kansas City, Mo.. Special.?James McMahon Tuesday confessed that he murdered his sisters. Miss Rose McMahon and Mrs. Alonzo Van Roven and the latter's husband. Alonzo Van Royen, on a farm near Kansas City, Kas., last Tuesday. A long standing family quarrel caused the tragedy. McMahon killed Van Royen in a wood and later went to the Van Royen home and shot his sisters. Fearing mob violence by a throng that gathered about the county jail after the confession became known the sheriff rushed the murderer and his brother, Patrick McMahon. and Patrick Lamb, a farm hand, who are held as witnesses, to the penitentiary at Langing Tuesday night in automobiles. Mc-Mahon's inability to keep hLs secret caused his arrest. He told a friend Tuesday where he had hidden a revolver with which he did the killing. and several articles he took from the Van Royen home. As Sheriff Pecker was prepnring to arrest Patrick McMnbon, the latter walked into his office and announced that he was readv to help on the case as he has been doing each day aince the tragedy.
