Henry. the special Unitec States distric- attorney who brough1 Senator Mitchell and others to indict ment in Oregon, fears nothing and has a record for absolute integrity. In his early days he practiced law in Ari 7ona. A woman came to him for heli i. securing a divorce on account o: her husband's cruelty, but assured hitr that her husband threatened. to kil: sny lawyer who would take up his wife's Case. "Oh. that is a matter that will come up later," said Henry calm ly. He got the woman her divorce anc rcxt day met the former husband ir the street. The latter took a revolvei out of his pocket. whereupon Henry being quicker "on the draw," shot the man dead.

Anad Ihent we exanine our spiritual ex periences carefully we are able to dis tingu-Iish ill our inner life three distinct planes of thought aid feeling. The first or lower ot these three phanes of life we are all fainliar with. It includes al1l thoughts and feelings, all motives and iimipulses and appetites tb at have reference exclusively to our lIne in this world. This we call the nlaturail 111:1in. Di-tinctly above this lies what we enll ordinarily the religious life. I ts thoughts and feeling.s and motives I Z have pr:mary reference to those inter ests that outlive our life in this world. its largest and dominant factors are faith. c(onvietion and duty. Faith and conviction are beliefs. though be liefs have bnen touched and quickened by religious emotion. Duty is the con.- I duct that belief or faith or conviction imposes: that is. the dominion of truth over the lower impulses and appetites. Consecuently this realm of the life is predominantly intellectual. Its doin It inant impulse is love of trutii and loy alty to truth. It lies distiinctly above the natural man and is called the spir itual unin. These two realms o( thiou.ght. feeling and action we can easily distimnuish. 1 They mttke up the twofold life of every man:1II who is honestly tryinhg to live a irue life in the world. But they evi dently do not include the highest spir itual possibilities of human life. There e is inother realm of life clearly set be- t fore us in the divine word, althoughI few Christians know practically much t about it. It is. in fact. the essence of all religious life. It is the life that is defined and enjoined in the two great commandments. to love the Lord our Godl with all our heart and soul and e mind and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. This m-ans tha:t the essence of the heavenly life is love and whenever that gains posses sion of us, faith, con-viction and dluty wvil all be swallowed up in 2ove.

Andl it is this distinction that is pictured ini thlese~ tre typieal tempn e itin 0oft0 our Lord. Tii' first is a type of the tel mttionis tht belong to r iower or na~tural degtree of tic iniind, the second to srpirituai ~.nd the tird1 to the ce lestial or hieavenily. The fhi t temaptattin is pictuired :as .an apeal to a phiysiical appetite. After th. totyt days and nights of fasting Jes-us wa s hungry anad there was not- i .n:to sa-tisfy His huni ger. and it is suggested by the tempter that HeI ecn ' ert into loaves of ibread some of the slt es that covered the griound. Th is phy sical pic ture ha s very (Vi denitly a~ spiritual min iitg. wic deals, not with the mere body andis criavis ouc with the essential mn Io andit his~ cravings and reqiuiremielits. It deals with the most utniversal fact of hlumantt nature, :iich is huntlger. Fr'iom | the meirely imaiteriali activities of h|11 physical body up to the highiest ac tiv-| ity of his s pitritual nature man is, ina sense, at mere bundle of hungers. And this is true because lie is met-ely a re- I cipient: and every minatet~ ;g' of j both body and soul is a mouth elimor-t ing to be fed. But it is only a smilth part of this universal hunger that we Iare consetous of. As in the body some of the niore general organs make uIs cons~cious5 of their needs when theyar niot supplied, whlile tile needs of the numberless smaller organs anid vesiches are met by physical processes that w-e ar~e wvholly uniconscious. of. sc of the universal hunger ot the spirit only, g sumall ptirt eyPr fa.B arithin ourn ceu seiiusness. And this is &o bceause the Lord req~uires of us only to much as He munst requre of us to make il Iimages~ and. likenesses of P0muself. To1 be thant it is necessa. y that we should contribute to our life a certaIn ineasure of activity and efiort and co-operation and reciprocation. Andi to secure that. sonie of the more external hungers of the body and of the mind aippealI to us strontghy enough to promipt us to such action as is nlecessiary to satisfy Butt inl ouir nresenit conditionl all the huni igers of our. natutral life are more or less perverted hungers. wvhich seek for p ierered anda unhle'alitai satisfactions. Aind this wec begin to recognize as soon as we began to see whlat the true life of man is. The firnst evils thei truth reveals to us arie thle indulgeneeso wron:: tppet iteos. a m passions, and cravings, andi thle irst task tile trutth1 Iimploses ont u15 1s to refuse to tin-s w - hugers or ctravig th ati imictin they deitalnI. hisreuidiationi of these (raings wve stihtldiiid a hiard task to Ibe-in wah~t if wVe were4 nlot helped in it b coQunati ng ihuniger. Among the sweees of the satisf;.ctions in life is the aippr oval of those whose approval we prize. And our-i stronlg hunaer- for this appiroval makes it easy for us In disca-rd reprehienisibe indulgenees an'dI This is. of itourse. at pturly Ce !i.(h ai.an et :any :im or eftfort, cvens ev~ r otteo1 '-v' w1 v t oi'?::. d I weh tha -' ere are many0 - pr t nrc:- annrlioved of an td fre indulged in by the world about us that are sins we no longer tolerate. so our clariti conscience now demands that our life shall be purged of these con ventionail and reputable evils. And in this task we are not helped by the ap proval of public opinion. But there is another selfish satisfaction that does help us. It is the sweet satisfaction of feeling that we are gaod i.l are deserving of all the happiness the Lord has in store for all who are good. This feeling takes many forms inl tihe mind. but in general it is the feeling th::It we are as virtuo(us as most of those we know And far mole virtu ous an1d kind y and Self-denyin:. th:mi; very mny:mi vhom -we know. Thtis is the swecetest atisfactioi our merely natural fe 's apable of. and in many woinderful vays it holds us up to the work of re pressing external ev"is and discarEiing All lower satisfactions. So. when the hunger for a better ife ias been thus far quickened in us. this :s the wtay in wlih we are always tempte(d to satisfy it. It is described ere as t temptation to make the stones of the desert into bread. The stones of the desert are the aspect th:t zpiritual truth takes oi when it is ap prehended by the natural mind or the elf-life. Tils is the aspect that spirit .inI truth takes oi in the letter of the vord. which is truth adapted to the owest spiritual needs of aen. There eward and punishument are presented is the motives for refraining from evil And doing right. It is an appeal to vhat is called enlightened selfishness. This aspect of the truth is necessary o start us oi the way toward the icavenly life. But to convert these toies into bread is to be permanently atistied with these purely sellish as ects of truth and with tils selfish tage of right living, this doing right nd refraining from wrong doing for he sake of the approval of others. and or the sake of the self-satisfaction it tffords. To stop at this point. to be ontent with this attainment, which is L temptation that confronts us all gain and again. is to appropriate to mrselves the letter that killeth and to Jhut our eyes to the spirit that make'th live. For it is making the letter of he food into bread in this way that akes it destructive of spiritual life. The Lord's answer to the tempter eaches us how we must meet this emptation. This answer is quoted romi His words of warning to the chil ren of Israel when they had just assed through their forty years of rial in the wilderness. To them- He aid. "Thou shalt remember all the rays which the Lord thy God hath led bee these forty years in the desert. * * And He suffered thee to hun er and fed thee with manna. which ou knewest not: neither did thy fath rs know that He might make thee now that man doitlh not live by bread uly. but by every word that proceed th out of the mouth of the Lord doth 1an live." These words. now quoted in part by e Lord as Ils reply to the tempter, ntain the truth by which this tempta ion must always be met. The temnp tion is to permit ourselves to resz in ble sense of our own goodness and to o on multiplying our good works of 11 kinds and refraining from all out yard evils, that we may multiply our piritual riches and increase and deep n our self satisfaction. This is the besetting temptation in .e religious life of our time. As the Id falsity of faith alone has faded out f religious belief. thmis more subtle and tractive falsity has taken its place. oodness is evemrywhlere being made i test and measure of religious char eter w"ith. very little rogar'd for the uality of thie goodnc.. ..,~. Tlo this temptation the divine answer :'Not by bread alone shall man live.' [an call no more live by charity or ood works alone, which~ are symbol :ed by bread than he c'an live by faith one. Whamt man must live by is every 'ord that goeth forth from the mouth f God. We live by gettingr our life ito its true relation to the divine life. ad that cnnuot be doac by recogniz ithis or thait Pt :ticular aspect of :utth aimi trying to live by thamt.

The Dislcouragzed Man,. Discouragement cuts the nerve of resent- effort and darkens the sky of ope for better things. The evangelist :hmo coined the phrase, "God cannot se a discouraged man." was a wise retch er: lie might also have said t.hat b~e wo::ld has no use for a discouraged iin. Booker T. Washington. in his Up From Slav'ery." gives the keynote f his owvn success in the following sen ible words: "I do not recall that I ver becamne discouraged ovet' anytitng hat I set out to accomplish. I have egunl everything with the idea that couldi succeed. andI I never had much atience with the multitudes of people 'ho aire always ready to explain why no canlo~t succeed." Such a spirit ijl etrry one throttgh every difficulty. ud over every obstaicle.

For a moment every one was paralyzed. and then one cf the occu pants seized hold of the most handy weapon and flung it at the intruder. It happened to be a water bag- and the snake received a cold douche, which was evidently not to its liking for it vanished just as suddenly as it had come, by the same route. A search of the premises discovered the creature In an adjoining room, but it again made its escape, and, as the police would say, is 'still at large.'" Sun Parlor for Baby. Sunning the baby is the latest thing in baby culture. No household is too poor to possess one of these patent adjustable sun parlors. They are made of some hind of hard wood and built by the carpenter to extend beyond the window. The top and sides of the little platform arc covered with glass, and strips of car pet are laid on the floor to ctop up any cracks there may be. No matter how fiercely the winds may blow orI how low the thermometer may sink the sun parlor is always ready for the baby. A p)Illow is placed on the carpeted floor, then the baby is warmly dressed and well covered for its morning or afternoon nap. Mothers who have tried this method of surning the baby are boasting of the gain in weight and health and have the proud satis faction of knowing they are strictly up to date.

Over 30,000,000 Pubtrsh ..1 An Oakland lady who has a taste for gocd literature, tells what a happy time she had on "The Road to Well yle." She says: ,, .."I drank coffee freely for eight years before I began to perceive any evil ef fects from it. Then I noticed that I was becoming very nerv~us. a".d tt my stomach as gradually losing the power to properly assimilate my food. In time I got so weak that I dreaded to leave the house-for no reason what ever but because of the miserable con lition of my nerves and stomach. I attributed the trouble to anything in t~he world but coffee, of course. I dosed miyself with medicines, whleh in the end would leave me in a worse ondtii than at first. I was most wretched and discoura ged-not 30 ers old and feeling thait life was a failure! I htas given up all ho-;e of ever en jyig myself iike other people. till one day I read the little book,, "The Road to Welville." It opened my eyes. and taught me at lewon I shal! never Cor-get and cannot value too highly'. I !:mme diately quit the use of the old kind of oee and began to drlinkl Postum Food Coffee.

All railroad men qualified to- speak on the subject in a responsible way are likely to agree with President Saw uel Spencer. of the Southern Railway, when he says: "There is no division of| opinion as to the desirability of ping all secret or unjustly discrruina tory devices and practices of wLatso ever character." Mr. Spencer. in speaking of "unjust ly discriuinatory" rates and drvices. makes a distinction which is at once apparent to common sense. Th-ee may be discrimination in freight raes which is.just. reasonable and imDera tively required by the complex coin mercial and geographical conditions with which expert rate makers have to deal. To ,lb,:lish such open and honest discrimination: might paralyze the in dustries of cities. States and whole see tions of otr national territory. This distinction between just and unjust discrimination is clearly recog ii zed in the conclusions of the Inter national Railway Congress, pubislied yesterday: "Tariffshold be based on commercial i pritiples, taking into account the special conditions which bear upon the commercial value of the services rendered. With the rese-rvation that rates shall be char -d with out arbitrary diserimination to ahs'hipers alike under like conditions, the making of rates should as far as possible have all the elasticity necessary to permit the develop meit of the traffic and to produce the great est results to the public aud to the railroads themselves." The present proposal is. as Mr. Walk er D. Hines, of Louisville, showed in his remarkable testimony the other day before the Senate Committee at Washington. to crystalize flexibe and justly discriminatory rates Into fixed Government rates which cannot be changed except by the intervention of some Government tribunal. and by this very process to increase "the tempta tion to depart from the published rate and the lawful rate in order to meet somne overpowering and urgent com mercial condition."-New York Sun.
