If a bride wishes to make secret reservations to her promises at the marriage altar of course neither bride - groom nor clergyman can prevent her doing so. At a luncheon one day last e'eek frr a bride-ekect the talk ran on the word "obey." The girls de cided that part of the fornua was obsolete. One ycor:g wife was at L--e ~iuon, and ity a efthat she ~d promised to obcy and had pro neunced the word bravely. The girls teased her until at last she explained thus: "You see, in some churches you have to say 'obey,' and I was married in-orne of them. But when I enme to those words I just crcssed my lingers and so the promise didn't erunt at all. I tell girls to do the same when *ey go to the al:or.

My appetite failed. I lot flesh until I was a mere skeleton. life was a burden to me, I los:t inter est in everything and almost ins everybody save my precious wife. "Then on the recommtendationl of some friends I began the use of Gpe-Nuts food. At ti time I was 'a miserable skeleton, without appe tite and hardly ablie to walk acros the room: had ugly dreams at nighi, o dispositiOn to entertain or be en tertained and began :o shun society. "I finally gave up the regular min try, indeed I could not collect my oughts on any su-jeet, and became most a hermit. After I had beens ing the Grape-Nuts food for a short eI discovered that I was taking new life and my appetite began to rove; I began to sleep better and weight inzreased steadily; I had t some 50 pounds, but under the w food regime I have regained al st my former weight and have atly .mproved in ex cry way. feel that I owe much to Grape and can truly recommend the od to all 'who reQuire a powerful rebuilding agent delicious to taste and always welcome."

Y.-Dr. Thomas Edward Dowling, minister in charge of St. James's P. E. Church. St. James place and Lafayette avenue, preached Sunday morning on the subject. "The Secret of Peace." a scudy of the Shep herd Psalm. Dr. Dowling said: Thirty centuries ago there lved in Palestine a king, who in his boyhood had been a shepherd lad. And in his old age, when he had seen life, with its sorrows and its joys, this king. David, sang a song, which it takes less than two minutes deliberately to re peat. Three thousand years have gone since then; and to-day everything he owned has turned to dust except his songs. The throne on which he sat -dust: the palace where he dwelt dust; the harp which his fingers were accustomed to sweep, the banner with which he led the hosts of Israel. his chariots, and his charioteers-all dust! But to-day that song goes sing ing its way to the universal heart, in the cottage of the poor and the mansion of the rich, in the home of the learned and of the unlearned, be cause it sings of what all the world is hungering for-peace. When Edward Irving swept through the .ates it was with this song upon his lips. Luther called it the "Little Bible." Pnd so it is, for it contains in miniature the whole book. Henry Ward Beecher, who once made Brook lyn famous, that greatest preacher the world has ever known since Paul stood on Mars Hill, called it "the nightingale's song," because it sings to us in the darkness. Listen while I repeat it to you, that it may once again sing its way into your heart. (Dr. Dowling here repeated deliber ately the Twenty-third Psalm.) Now I yield Him not simply arlmira tion. but adoration. It is the difference between -He leadeth," and "He lead eth me." If you would know what God may be to you, learn to appro priate. Him. Learn to think of Him simply not as a God, but your God; not simply as a friend. but your friend; not simply as a shepherd, but your shepherd. Xow, when you receive a gift there are three things which you do with it. Yo-i accept it, you examine it, and you use it. And the gift which this royal shepherd poet of three thou sand years ago makes to us in this Shepherd Psalm may prove more pre cious to you than any which you have ever received, if you deal with it in just that way; the way of appropria tion, of appreciation and of applica tion. 'As you notice how very easy it is to appropriate it. because it abounds with those personal and possessive pronouns, in which. Martin Luther said, the preciousness of the Bible consists: "The Lord is my shepherd." "He leadeth me." "Yea, though I walk through the valley." What a great difference there Is be tween the mere apprehension of a fact and the approp::iation of that fact, be tween knowing it and claiming it. When you see a child in a runaway, you are moved: but suppose it is your child. There is the same difference that there is between the stately man sion of a stranger and the little cot tage in which your mother rooked you in her arms and crooned to you the songs of your babyhod. So. my friends, you never can judge of a re Tigi-on until it has been transmuted into a personai exnerience, until it has become your religion. A histori cal Christ is, at the most. only a Chri;.. I can look upon Him with admiration. Ah! but when He has become mine, and I have heard His voice, and felt His touch, He is no longer simply a Christ but the Christ. And then, when you have appropri ated this psalm, seek- to appreciate it. Notice, to begin with, the perfect spir it of trust which breathes through it all. See how much it has to say about Him and how little about ourselves. Mark how every verse tells us what He is doing. My dear people, that is the whole secret. The secret of peace is the putting of God between our troubles and ourselves. I know the dark hours which have come into some of your lives; I know your pe:-plexities: 'or though you are strangers to me as yet, the experience of human hearts is jiust the same the whole world over, and the joys and the sorrows of the men and women whom I learn e. so well to know and to love on the Pacific shores are just the joys and the sorrows which you are having to day. I know of the hour when some young mother in this congregation sat sobbing by the side of her little one. whispering blindly, "I do not know why she should be taken from me: I cannot understand it." Well, my dear chiid, do not try to understandi it. for- you never can here. Some day I shall preach to you on "Things to be Waited For." and one of the things to be waited for is the under standing of these mysteries of life. And yet we may know that while we are waiting we -z.- be waiting in companionship with Him who un derstands it all. And there is no oth er help for us in our dark hours. ex cept in ylacing Him between our troubles and ourselves. Wilbur Chapman tells us of a litile drummer boy in our civil war who was taken into the hospital mortally wcundei. and so they sent for his mother from a distant city. 23ut when. she came they said to her. "You can not go in: he's too sick; L~e couldn'? stand the shoclR." And so she stoo:3 by the door waiting and wesping and listening. And when she heard him sigh, she said to them, "'Let me go in: I won't speak to him. I'll just sit by his ,bedside."' And so they per nitted -her to pass quietly into the~ darkenedi room andl sit beside hi:n But as she sat there the mother hye was too strong, and, reaching rut her hand, she laid it aently upon his ach ing forehead. He did not Open ii -ves. Nit he knew that touch. S.a' saw his lipS move, anid. stoopin-: daw:' to him. she heard him say: "I krew you'd enme to nme, I k-new you'd come to me." And If you arc only willing to welcome Him who loves you more than you ever- loved your little one, you may know that He will come to you, and "as one whom his mother comforteth." so will He comfort you. And notice the blessings which he brings when He comes. As David ex presses it in this psalm. "they that be long to Hinm shall fn.'d that their cup 'overflowetb' "; not onlv abunltdanc'e. but redundiance. It has someitimes seemed os thouzh ther' were a mx tu-e of figures here. and that as the psaimist nzo:rd the en- of his son; the scene chanoed from' the open fields of the fie".- to the guarded But this is not so. One of the m--t importan duties of the shenherd - to find a feeding place for :.is sheen. where they shall not be injured by Poisonous herbs. and where he may defend them against the jackals andl the wolves that prowl around. Our Shepherd will protect us and provide for our wants. not only in the so ei6Ion of the fold. but while we -70 still. if need be. out in the world. An-' so David. sings. "Thou p'eparest 'I iaile befcre me in the pr'esence of mn enemies." Then follows 'zh closina scene of the day. The sun is settinz. and the fiock is being brought home. But some of them have been wounded. and some of .them are weary. And so the shienherd stands at the door of 'the sheepfold. rodding the sheep. aq it is termed: holding them back with his rod. permitting them to enter one by one. Here one has been bruis-fd or torn by the briars, and from the horn filled with olive oil he hathoe the wounded head. And one is tired and worn. and. dipping into the ves sel the lart-e two-lhndle1 -up. he eives him a drink. Thus the shenherd cares for his sheep clear on till the very hour of the homecoming. Noth ing is forgotten. And so the psalm ist sings. still with the picture of the shepherd in his mind, "Thou anointest my head with oft; my cup runneth over." But I am anticipating. "The Lord is my Shepherd: I shall not want." What? Rest. "He mak eth me to lie down in green pastures." But the green pastures have to come first. There is the contemplative life, and the active life. And. my breth ren. we need the first: that is the meaning of these services: that is the meaning of Sunday; that is. the mean ing of Lent. It is a mistake for us to suppose that we can get on in the right life without these green pa ture experiences. Somebody says. "I .iudge of a man by what he does." Yes; but what a man does grows out of what that man Is. And here in these contemplative hours we find Christian manhood and womanhood In the making. And then. there is the leadership: "I shall not want" -guidance: "He leadeth me." That is the other side af the Christian experience: the active side. The purpose of these green pastures is to send us forth to use the strength which here we get. And in this leadership of His there are two facts which I would have you remember. He goes before us: "He leadeth." He will select no path which his sheep cannot travel. But remember also that the sheep. must follow after: we must select no path which He cannot travel. "He leadeth me in the paths of righteousfress." not always by the side of still waters, not always in green pastures- sometimes the sheep track may lie across the wilderness; but if we are following him we may know that they are always "paths of right eousness"-right paths, and that they lead toward home. And finally, "I shall not want" corn panionship. "Yea, ibough I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil; for thou art with me." He who is following the Master shall find death itself on ly a shadow; and who shall be afraid of a shadow? And though the v'al ley may be there and the darkness, He shall lead us out, as He leads us in. Death is not a blind pocket; it is not a place of tarrying. only of transition. I shall walk "thr'ough the valley: of the shadow of denath." And now, having appropriated this psalm, having sought to appreciate it, let us try to apply it. I mean to-day. here and now, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-nmor'row. every day, For you observe that until we reach the very last verse it is all in the present tense. He is not speaking of any distant elysium, far' away in the futur . "The Lord is my shep herd: he maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters." All the blessings which I have described may be yours now. Will you take them for yours. and apply them to the problems of your life to-day? Oh, learn to pr'ac tics the presence of God. Try to think of Him as really at your side. Spstak to Him when you are in trouble or perplexity. Suppose you make a test of this Shepherd psalm only for to-day. Suppose you say: "From n~ow until the hour when I fall asleep a: right I will seek to live wvith this thought supreme: that God is mine. and that He loves me. and is leading me." See what it will mean to you in ucace and comfort and joy. And then reelize that if you can do it for cue day, you can 5o it fcr every (day, and the probiemi of ycur life's mean ng is solved.

In. his lectures before the students of the Agriculture Department of the University of Missouri T. E. Orr, sec retary of the American Poultry As sociation, told methods of combattinig mites and chicken hawks that might easily be used by every Missouri housewife. Mites, he says, might be gotten rid of by spraying the chicken house with a mixture of one part crude car bolic acid and eight, parts carbon oil. This mixtut he recommends in preference to mite exterminators sold by traveling agents. Hawks, he claims, may be kept out of the poultry yard by attaching bright pieces of tin, six by ten inches. to the trees and poles surrounding quarters, by strings two feet long so that the wind will make the bright metal dance in the sunlight.

Subject: Jesus Dines With a Pharisee, Luke xiv., 1-14-Golden Text, Luke xiv. 11-Menory Veis -13.14-TopIc: The Believer's Socia jutes-Coinmeutar3 I. The true idea of Sabbath observ ance (vs. 1-6). 1. "Chief Pharisees." Ii has been suggested that this iman may have been a member or the Sanhedrir with a country home in Perea. "Tc eat bread." Our Lord had no home and, when He was invited to dine, it was as proper for Him to go on the Sabbath u on any other day. 'They were watching Him." R. V. were maliciously watching Him. 2. "A certain man." This man may have been brought there by the Phar isee in order to test Christ. "Befor( Him." Before the company had takeE seats at the table. "Dropsy." A dis. ease in which the body or some part of it is filled with water. 3. "Jesus answering spake." Jesus knew they were deceptive. and He was ready to meet them. "The lawyers.' The teachers of the law who were present. "Is it lawful,*' etc. They are In a dilemma; as lawyers they ought tc know, but if they answered in the affirmative they would endorse Christ and His work, while to answer in the negative would be to show their lack of love and lay themselves liable to a charge similar to that given in chap ter 13:15. It was seriously argued that to walk upon the grass with nailed shoes was a violation of the Sabbath. 4. "Held their peace." Unable to con demn, unwilling to concede. But such silence was our Lord's complete public justification. If the contemplated mira cle was unlawful' why did not these great religious authorities forbid It1 "Took him." Took hold of him (Luke 20:20; 1 Tim. 6:12). "Healed him." Showing the opinion cf Jesus as te healing on the Sabbath day. "Let him go." Dismissed him and turned back to the Pharisees, whose sancti. monious hatred was worse than this poor man's disease. 5. "Fallen into a pit." Jesus silences them completely by calling attention to the fact that they on the Sabbath day would have mercy on a beast in distress. Read Matt. 12:10-13; Luke 13:14-17. 6. "Could not answer Him." Silent, but not convinced. The question was unanswerable. If they would de liver an ox or an ass from a pit on the Sabbath, by what reason or com mon sense could they say it was wick. ed to save a man from his affliction? II. A parable of humility (vs. 7-11). 7. "A parable." The selfish struggle for precedence as they w&e taking their places at the tab:e gave Jesus an opportunity to teach a lesson in humil. ir. "When He narked." Nothing es. capes the eye of the Lord. "How they chose out." To take the highest place when it is not our due is public vanity; to obstinately refuse it when offered, is another instance of the same vice, though private and, concealed. "The chief rooms." The chief seats. R. V. The guests reclined-on couches around the table which formed three sides of a hollow square. On .each side there were three places. The middle place was the most honorable. 8. "Bidden-to a wedding." He speaks of a "marriage feast" (R. V.) because the rules of procedure would be more carefully ins~sted upon. "Sit not down." The pride that apes hu mility violates the spirit of this teach ing. 9. "He that bade." The host who has authority to decide the mat ter. "With shame." Sooner or later pride will have a fall. 10. "In the lowest room." The high lace was occupied very briefly; the lowest place was permanent. "Go up igher." The way to rise is to begin ow. What Christ 'omumandedl He Him slf did. "Then shalt thou have wor hip." "Have glory." R. V. Have everence, respect and honor in the resence of the company. 11. "Who oever exalteth." etc. Now followVs the reat principle illustrated by this para le. Humility is the passport to pro oton in the kingdom of God. The one who is proud and seeks to be hon red above others, shall be abased, or umbled, both by God and man. IHL A lesson on cur duty to the poor (g. 12-14). 12. "Call not thy frjinds." The second parable is to the host. It s a sharp rebuke on account of a fault ,hich is almost always committed in he choice of guests. "Nor thy rich eighbors.'' "He that givethm to the ich shall surely come to want'' (Prov. 13. "Call the poor." Fea.sts to the oor are not forbidden. He that giveth o the poor lendeth to the word. What he Saviour here commends to others e has Himself fulnlled in the most 14. "Shalt be blessed." The pcor hio hafe bieen fed will bless thee. and o will the Lor'd. "Resurrection of the ust." There is to be a future state, we re all hastening on toward the resur etion. At that -time God will re ard those who have done good. for is sake, without the hope of any ~arhly recompense.

How The Church Can Help the World.-Col. 4. 5-16. The alienated condition of large portions of the population, even in our own and, is evidence that there is great need of some mighty evangel to call people to the consideration of things which concern their eternal welfare. Only a fraction of the youth of our country is found in the Sunday school vnd the young people's qocieties. The calendars of the crim inal courts are lull. The prolific sources of a great portion of the crime and misery, the liquor sa loons, are kept open by government al provision, and are as much pro tected by governmental police power as churches are from molestation. Surely the world needs help. There is graft everywhere, it would almost seem. Another picture lies before us as we write. The door of Christen dom stands ajar, and a comely figure, representing Christianity. is looking out. A "heathen Chinee" is a little way off, shouting to her: "Ho, there! Your doorstep needs cleaning!" These are some of the objects lying on and about the doorstep; the liquor traffic, loot, war, opium, trade, scandalous plays, erotic novels and commercial greed. Is it not a part of the business of the young host of Methodism to clean the doorstep of the house of Christianity? Our daily Scriptures show us the method by showing us, as Christians, what we are and what our relation ship to the world is. Christians are salt; they are light-two essential things. Salt stands for all things preservative. Society would go down into the reek of Sodom if it were not for the element of Christian mor als in it.' And but for these our country would go the way of the dead empires. whose wreckage strews the shores of time. Must our nation join the company of the dead? We hope not; we do not believe it will. Our faith is founded on the fact that the leaven of Chris tianity is in it, and this constitutes a force which can more than neutralize the power of evil tendency, and will at last make every house a house of prayer CHISTN ENBIOH NOITES JULY TWENTY-NINTH. Gardiner, and Missions to Latin America.-2 Cor. 11:23-30. Christ came, as He said, to bring us "the abundant life." The result, when one receives it, is "labors more abundant." The true Christian reioices in his stripes for they bring him into clos er fellowship with Him with whose stripes we are healed. Who could not live nobly if he could live independently and isolated? But the heroic life is the one that is faithful to large responsibilities for others. Do you bear lightly the sorrows and trials of fellow Christians? Then lock to your own Christianity. DIVIDED LIVES. Alternate Topic for July 29: Divided Lives.-Matt. 6:24; 2 Kings 17: 33-41. As it is impossible to be at the same time a citizen of the United Sta'.es and of another ccuntry, so one carnnot belong at the same time to the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of the world. There is only one way to enjoy re ligion, and that is to surrender to it. If you want to knowv whether your life is divided, classify your long ings. You warut God to be wholly for you; must you rot be wholly for God? If the farthest hidden corner of your heart is Satan's, he has a right of way to it. A flesh-and-blood heart, divided, means death; so with the spiritual heart. Wori'dly succcss in any sphere ab solutely requires a whole-hearted de votion to the object sought. So with heavenly success. RAM'S IIORN BLASTS fr~""F\ HE devil w"'l loe. .the preacher alone if only he may conduct the choir.

France does not take its censuses as seriously as this country though some Parisian wits are now paying fines for the gayety of their answers to the enumerators' queries. Some towns and villages set about swelling their population. 'Iarseilles and Lyons were jealous about the second place among French cities. Whether they padded the returns or not does not appear. but Cassoulet-sur-Lot, a lit tle town in the South, was anxious to bring its population up to 20,000, so that its magistrates could have their salaries increased by $125. As only a few score of people were wanted, the affaii was comparatively easy.
