One day they gathered about Rim. waved palm hranches and ;houted "IHosanuah:" and auuid all the oy and acclaim He stopp:-d and wept .s Ile rememiered the sorrows whicli were To come upon .ers:alemu. Ambition did not ap'peal to Him.

[f He lived now. le wouldI b- as will n-r to serve the Jew :1A The He was willing to save tihe poor and .be rich. He was noT a poor man's :roph:et. nor a rich mn's prophet. He was wiling to minister to the ignorant, atnd just as willing to inist..r to the wise. He would talk with the peasant. 3r stnend an evening with on~e of the treat rabbis at Jerusaleum. Character wi pastt condultct did nI Separate men~i :romn His sympubhy. 11 did not make Sany difference how badlyv a man had ived or how rotten was his character, rte was ready to help him, H~e came .uto Jericho one day and thea people -rowded round im. it was a city of )lriests and corrupt po3liticians. Thie :uliticians were more co'rupt than in his day, and that is saying a great 1 Ial. It was .. city of pries and peli delicans. and one of these latter, who mad made money by sque'ezin:g the pub tie, was a little man, who climbed into a trece, because he wanted to see this strange man pass. This strange man aassed the priests and th~e orthodox religious peop~le and looked rip at tihe ittle man and said: "C-.me doiwn: I amr roing to dine with you to'-day." He sought out the bad man b-~'ause He thought He could do sou:ethinr for thim. He was equally ready to minms ter food to the hungry, healin.. to the sick, cofort to the~ attlicted. wisdom to the ignorant. inspiration to the de pressed or succor to the simple and the burdened. FThe only question with iHim was: "Is this mau in troublei" Wha: kind of trouble? "It does not matter what kind of trouble. I want to help' him." That was absolutely His only iluestion. Aknd yet this man saw that th~e deepest troubles of men re t troublmes that :ome upon themn because of their wrong doing. In His first great ser G iHe gave the secret of happiness when He said: "B~iessed are the pure in heart" and "Blessed are the poor in sprt"etc. The sec-ret of happness~ is what you are, not what you have. So the thing He wvanted to do was to .change men's characturs, to get them out of sin and lead them in the paths ~fo virtue and truth and good will. He wanted to lift oE the burden of their sins and make them healthy, normal. holy men and women. To this He ,tave His life. He did not do this ing! dentally, as it chanced Him: there wats somethingt more. He said: "TF'at is what I am here for. That is what God put Me into the world for; it is the mission He has given Me." He be longed to a nation that had been taught to look forward for the golden age, not backward. They thotmht the got'u time was vet to come. Their prop~hets had told them so. They :hought it was to be bronutht about. some saitd, by the nation, by a series of prophects, or by a single man, a conque'ror. And this man Jesus said: "T his kingdom of Goc~ is at hand. This good time is alread.' * ere, and I am the oue to bringt about." Thie tirst time Hie preache' wa at Nazarmethi and then He told them this. Then tie gathered a few disc-i p~es about Hlim and aftecr a year with them lie asked: "Whomn <o men say that I am?" They said: "Timtre are manny different things said. Some say a prophet; some a great tea&cr: somec one thingt and some another." And H-e said: "But whom say ye that I amn" One can imagine the nmo:nt of i lence and hesitation and uncertainty that followed. .And then urte. ::n: imupui sire one. said: "You ar the Messiah."' He replied: *Yes. 1 am: that is rigtht." ' The mission of His life was to brin:: about the kingdjm of Ged en the ear-l and Hle sa!l. "The way to doh it is te help eecry one in~ med. Noj matter what the character-to help one anoth er.tlha: is :he way." Tihe .TCwN, wanted it aniothmer way. Quee:- people. these Jews!

Then. after His resurrection. He sent others. He sent them in the spirit o. good will and helpfulness, to heal the sick. cleanse the leper and restore c0m fort to the sorrowing. To minister tc everynidy. ri.-h, poor. wise, ignorant. to the .lew and the Gentile, There was something more. In all ages wen hare believed in some grea1 occult po.wer lying back of the phe nomeno of nature. The Jews thought there was one great God who inexor ably demanded righteousness of His people, and Jesus said, 'God is .such a one as I an. -actuated by the same spirit. In Aly life and toadbings I ;6' interpreting this great lufinite Power. this jut, wise God. this eternal IniniteI Presence." And He illustrated His meaning by the parable of the king whose snbjeots rebelled against him: by the parable of the lost sheep and the parable of the prodigal son. "That is the kind of Father that God is," saiid Jesus. There is still more in Christ's ines sage. In all aIges men have been try ing to get to this unknown GOd. They have said: "We have done vrong. we have aroused the wrath of this GXod. He is right to be angry with us. How shall we appease His anger? We will offer sacrifices."

Captured a Neighbors Cat. This las.t. summer members of the United States fish commission were stationed at. Lake Maubogog. Me., for the purpose of gathering statistics in regard to ihe tinny tribes which in habit tha: region. The guests of the small hotel where they made their headquarters were very much an noyed by the too frequent appearance of a skunk. and steps were taken to capture the offender. A box trap was constructed, dnly baited and set. Through small holes in the box the guests were highly elated to learn the following morning that their efforts had not been in vain. The fish commission men, thinking it an unusually fine specimen, decided to preserve its pelt, minus the objiec tionable odor, If possible, and, gently handling the box, they proceeded to the lake, carefully lowered It into the water, removing it when all life was extinct. This capture will probably not ap pear in their next report, as the ani mal proved to be a black cat belong ing to the next farmhouse. Meteors Buried in Cellar.

Treat such k.ndly, for they seem absolutely powerless to stop the gradual hut sure destruction of body and health. Nature has a way of destroying a part of the people to make room for the stronger.

We repeat the assertion that (fe does harm many people, not all, but an army large enough to appall the inve.s-f tigator and searcher for facts. The next prevarication of the coffee importers and roasters is their state ment that Postum Food Coffee is made of roasted peas, beans or corn, and mixed with ai low grade of coffee and I that it contains no nourishment. We have previously offered to wager $100,000.00 with them that their state- ~ mets are absolutely false. They have not accepted our wage1 and they will not.
