have their e-xistence primarily for God.
The Tlirrified phio)sopher may call out
"anthronmorphism." but for m part
I do not fear that as much as the im
personality of partheism or material
ism. If it is true. as Professor Sholer
says. that the naturalist has a right
to conhlnde that tihe universe is under
the control of power in ways like unto.
the mind of man then surely we have
a right to believe that all our art, our
music, our architecture, our paintings
and sculpture are heard or seen by God
and are pleasing. or unpieasing to Hifl
accordinlg as they are or are not tfound
ed upon the pr ieples of truth. Let us
not-ardue about this. Let us assume it
now as we speak of church miSc.
We ('an watch -their syays with our
microscope. but we udare nlot assert that
they do not hlear .commands and live
in a world of the sour('e of which we
know nothing. So with the universe.
Wo can plow thet heavens wiih the
telescope, but we know not that what
we ('all the music of the sheres has il
existence and time it is only a poet's
fancy which asserts that the heavens,
the stars and the planets accompany
tihe sons of God ini their praise of the
Father in Heaven.
In all civilized nations I believe music
ihas alweys had some connctionl with
reiligion. The Greeks had no doubt
carried it. as they did every art they
t<>uched, to a high gradle of excellence.
In Plato we find music is a constant
'source of illustration. In those days,
as in these. they had the mere musi
cTan, who prided himself on 1;is ear
and lost the poetry and the meaning
of tihe art. 'The mnusicianis," One of
the characters says bitterly. "put their
ears ini the place of their minds."
"Yes," replied Glaucon. "I like to see
them laying their ears alongside of
their neighbIors' faces. some saying.
'Ttsanew nocte.' 'ether-s delating
Ka~ ihe tw~o nIotu~es reihe same." But
for Plato music had a deeper signifi
cance and in one single sentence he
brings out its connection with morals.
"Simplicity in music," he says, "was
the parent of temperance in the soul."
a truth which we need to remember
to-day as never before.
But to the Hebrews the art was sa
cred. Miriam with her timbals and
her dances accompanied her song of
victory. The majestic rhythm of the
Psalms were blended, no doubt, with
an equally majestic music. When the
people were carried away Into captiv
ity their conquerors wanted to hear
them sing their beautiful national airs.
But the yon voices refused to an
Twe'r. "H-ow can we sing the Lord's
songs in a strange land?" Browning
has dramatized the scene, but the peo
ple must have been naturally musical
when the shepherd lad could come with
his harp and drive away the worst
melancholy from the heart of the trou
' bled monarch,
I doub~t not that our Lord loved the
music of the Temple and that one
happy mlomen'tt inl Holy Week wtas
when the children of the Temple, pre
sumably the boys wvho sang this daily
service, cried out in homage to their
prophet. H-osanna~: to the Son of David:

If wp want to see how Gmd iecs, we
look at Christ's acts. ('hrist's life
on earth is at epitome of God's
eternity.
W.e c(ain do greater works that

Christ dois riot promise to do all

Christ erroe to ea.r h to show us

Onl'y to r-how us Himself.
He came :nTo the world to save

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 18.
A Life Refined and Perfected by Its
Trials.-2 Cor. 4. 11-18.
In a perfect world there might be
no pain. There are. those who argue
otherwise, and we will not quarrel
with them just now. But in this world
there is pain enough.
The gospel and its gifts of grace
cannot provide a safe conduct against
suffer-ing. The Christian is not Im
mune. Some sorts of suffering he
escapes, of course, but in the world
e has tribulation of many kinds.
The difference between the Chris
tian and the unbeliever is In the use
and effect of trial on the life. To him
who has no faith In Christ the world's
burdens are an unmixed but also an
unavoidable evil. He cannot flee from
them or put them on others, and they
have no meaning of good for him.
The Christian on the other hand, finds
all his experiences eloquent of God
and of good. He believes that to him
all thing~s work together for good. He
consIders every fact of life as con
trolled b~y the Father, who loves him,
and as containing a message of love.
One of the saintliest of Christians
has cu tivated a beautiful habit of
getting triumph out of trial. He
says: "God loves me. He loves me
so much that he prefers that I should
suffer, If suffering is the necessary
bearer of some message of help which
[ ned. And so, when the trial Is
especilly hard to 'endure, I say to
yselfi -H~ow grett thing God Is
trying to do for me, that he considers
t worth the price of all this pain!
And then I seek' for the secret mes
Bage, andl I find that God's estimate
of it was entirely right."
Most discouraged people are ready
to give up because circumstances are
against them what a mistake that
is! No real Christian believes in the
mnipotence of circumstances. God 's
children should be masters of events.
not mastered by them.
Once you look at tnese circum
stances from the Christian's point of
view they become imputent for harm.
Always to the Christian they that are
for us more than they that are against
s. God knows all about our cir
m.mstances and he does not belittle
their Importance. But his "Never
theless" is bigg -than all adverse
circumstances.
Hardship has ever been the lot of
the saints. The greatest saint is not

has mastered It all.

Ram Saved Man's Life.
To be charged by an infuriated bull
and gored almost to insensibility and
afterward to be rescued through the
interference of a ram is the remarka
ble experience of John Michel, a farm
hand employed on the farm of Mike
Walters. near Benridge, Minn.
Michel was milking the cows in the
pasture lot when a bull charged him,
knocked him to the ground and furi
ously atterrpted to gore him. Michel
made desperate attempts to escape
from the enraged animal and
was nearly uncouscious when a ram
charged the bull, with the result that
the latter turned his attention to the
new foe andl Michel succeeded in
crawling through the fence and es
caping. Thte man is badly bruised and
wounded, but no bones were broken
and he will recover.
TWINS WEIGHED THREE POUNDS
Smallest Babie~s on Record in a New
Orleans Hospital.
In the Milliken hospital at New Or
leans are a pair of twins which are
probably the smallest living twins in
this section of the country, If not in
the whole United States.
Together they weigh less than three
pounds, and though they are so small
that they can hardly be seen in their
little beds, they are thriving under the
care of the sisters and nurses of the
hospital.
They are boys, and, although only
29 days old. they have already been
named. In the hosptial register their
names are given as Charles and Kol
mner Morgan. and their address at No.

Music Attracted Skunk.
A Southwest Harbor man was play

Here the skunk apparently danced
a jig to the tune of the music and
when the music ceased and the player
reached for his gun Mr. Skunk made
his bow and a hasty exit.-Chicago

Burro Broke Up the Ball.
A ball given at TDaggett. Cal., in hon
or of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Hart of Bars
tow, who had just been married, was
broken up by the appearance on the
ballroom floor of a lanky desert burro,
astride of which sat James Horgan, a
well known prospector. The upper
strata of Daggett were present. the
best musicians in fifty miles had been
employed, and for three days the floor
of the ballroom had been rubbed down
with wax until every board shone like
glass.
In the middle of the dance, while
sixty couples were gracefully gliduig
1 about, the door was suddenly thrown
open and, with a genuine desert
j whoop. in rode Horgan. The burro, ac
customed to tread carefully along
i the steep declivities where a misstep
meant death, picked its way almost
to the center of the floor. The danc
ers fell back amazed.
Suddenly its legs slipped from un
der the animal. Staggering to regain
its footing it cut numerous grotesque
antics, and finally turned almost a
complete somersault. By degrees it
I was assisted up, and Horgan disap
peared, but the ball was not resumed.

Around the fireside or about the woli
lighted family reading table during the
winter evenings the children anid
grown-ups can play with their wits ano
see how many words can be made.
20 people making thre greatest numI]
ber of words will each receive a little
box containing a $10.00 gold piece.
10 people will each win one bos con
tamning a $5.00 gold piece.
300 people will each win a box con
taining $1.00 In paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re
ceive a box containing $100.00 in gold.
It is really a most fascinating bit of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso
lute fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no name
of person. Both the singular and
plural can be used, as for instance
"grape" and "grapes."
The letters in "Y-I-0-Grape-Nuts"'
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be co'unted.
Arrange the words in alphabeticat
classes, all those begining with A to
together and thvee beginning with E~ to'
cmeiC under E, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces In the A. I2.
and other columns to fill in later as new
words come to you, for they will spring
into mind every evening.
It is almost certain that some eon
testaits wvill tie with others. in such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send wvith the
list of words a plainly written lc-tter
describing the advaintages of Graper
Nuts. but the contestant is not required-c
