Good Colors For Houses. It is not generally known-not even among painters-why certain tints and colors wear much better than others on houses, and the knowledge of just what tints are best to use is, therefore, rather hazy. One writer on paint, in a recent book, says that experiments seem to show that those colors which resist or turn back the heat rays of the sun will protect a house better than those which allow these rays to pass through the film. Thus red is a good color because it turns back, or reflects, the red rays, and the red rays are the hot rays. In general, therefore, the warm tones are good and the cold tones are poor, so far as wear is concerned. In choosing the color of paint for your house, select reds, browns, grays and olives which, considering the various tones these tints will produce, will give a wide range from which to choose. Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold yellows (like lemon), cold greens (like grass green, etc.), and the blues. It must be understood that no vir tue is claimed for tints in themselves. irrespective of the materials used in the paint. Any color will fade, and the paint will scale off, if adulterated white lead or canned -paint is used, but if one is careful to use the best white lead-some well-known brand of a reliable manufacturer-and gen uine linseed oil, the warm tints men tioned above will optwear the same aterials tinted with the cold colors.

How many persons realize that coffee. so disturbs digestion that it produces a muddy, yellow complex ion? .A. ten days' trial of Postum Food Coffee has proven a means, In thou sands of cases, of clearing up bad complexions. A Washn. young lady tells her ex perience: "All of us-father, mother, sister ud brother-had used tea and cof fee for many years until finally we all had stomach troubles more or less. "We were all sallow and trowbled with pimples, breath bad, disa'gree able taste in the mouth, and all of us simply so many bundles of nerves. "We didn't realize that coffee was the cause of the trouble until one day we ran out of coffee and went to borrow some from a neighbor. She gave us some Postu-n and told us to try that. "Although we started to make it we all felt sure we would be sick if we missed our strong coffee, but we were forced to try Postum and were surprised to find it delicious. "We read the statements on the pkg., got more and in a month and a half you wouldn't have known us. We were all able to digest our food without any trouble, each one's skin became clear, tongues cleaned off and nerves in fine condition. We never use anything now but Postum. There is nothing like it." Name gi'v en by Postumi Co.. Battle Creek. Mvich. Read the little book, "The THE PULTIPT. A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY REV. EDWARD LAWRENCE HUNT Subject: "That They Might Have Life." Washington, D. C.-The Rev. Ed ward Lawrence Hunt, on Sunday preached the following brilliant sermon from the text: "I came that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10: Jesus' opject was to give men life. His church preaches this through her chief sacrament: "My flesh I give for the life of the world." "Oh, the wild joys of living! * * * The hunt of the bear"-are these tte President's holiday words or Browning's? Even that life Is the gift of God through Jesus Christ, "without whom was not anything made that was made." Physical life is good. There is something better. The "high man" who "would not discount life, as fools do," who would "not live thus, but know" is "still loftier than the world suspects." There is something higher still. "To know" is not eternal life, but to know God-and the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ. "This is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." To give man that life, Jesus must come. "I came that they might have life." Why could not the living Creator give that life by His mere word? First, because death had passed upon all men, for all sinned.. The God of Law, who breathed into man's nostrils the breath of life, when man became a living soul, ordained the law, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die"; or, to. put the same truth in other words: The God of Lqve warned man that "the wages of sin is death." Man scorned love's warning and sinned. Then felt with in him that sin is a fatal disease. So came Jesus to put away sin by His death, that as sin reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness, unto . 'eternal life through Jesus Christ. "Grace" means He died for our sins that we, set free from sin, made alive unto God, might live. Re came, then, to free us from that death which means separation from the liv ing God; to reconcile us to God in one only way, by death, so that here on earth weemight live with God. And, further, He came to free us from the fear of that death which Is the blowing out of the candle. By rising from the dead, and so bring ing life and immortality to light by His Gospel, He inspires the hope of immortality. Hence we do not Stretch bame hands of faith and grope, And faintly trust the larger hope, but we la'y strong hold on the hope set before us, as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, entering in to that within the -veil. This eternal life must be laid hold of by man, "I came that they mig'kt," not; must. Man gets it by faith: "He that liveth and believeth on Me shall never die." It ,is "whosoever be lieveth" that "need not perish, but have eternal life." Remember eternal life is not mere duration. Jesus is the quality. How, not 'how long, we live; and because of quality, endurance: "No one is able to snatch them out of My Father's band." To know God, to shar'e His life, to walk in love with Him until God. is tired of you, means to live with Him forever. Second, He came because man must have a teacher and an example of the best life. "If when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life." Jesus' life is the hope of the race. One man has lived in the fullest healthy exercise of all his powers no man need despair.. The ideal has been realized.. He has also given us the secret of success. It is willing surrender to God. It is to learn God's purposes and with loving sympathy work them out with Him. This involves first and always the destruction of selfishness. It means we must follow Christ. And "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross. For he that will gain his life shall lose it: but he that will lose his life for My sake shall find it." .Ezcept a corn of wheat shall fall into the ground and die, it abideth by itself alon~e. But if it die It shall 1ive abundantly. What a pitiable time the mean, selfish man must have to abide alone here on earth with the grasping fellow even he himself despises. And if at last, In disgust at himself, he should follow the ex ample of a Judas (whose association with Jesus gave him at least enough conception of a true manhood to be enough disgusted with himself to kill himself)-then? Then he must keep on "abiding by himself alone," for ever with a murderer, alone. Judas-Jesus! Grasping-giving! Which.will you follow? If you would live you must first wish for it. One object of Jesus' life was to awake'n your desire for the fullest life. Contrast, then, your life with His, with the life of -the best character you know, with the man you hoped in your youth's beset dreams you might some day be. ,Note the appalling railroad wreck of the past week. Read its allegory. See two pictures-the freight car loaded with blessing; two cars with dynamite with power for good; the passenger train with its freight of souls. What thrill of the music ir. dustry in the song of the whizzing wheels and the whishshsh of the greeting as the two iron steeds of strength and speed, fed with black bread from the heart of the earth, rush past, each on its own track! Few sights are beautiful. But look again. Some freight cars leave their track, fall across the other's track-and woe!-the sicken ing, sightless horror of the wreck; the groans of the dying, the ghastly dead unknown. It's the lesson of our life, with its trains of body and spirit-on their God-laid tracks fraught with bless ing. Earth has no picture more beautiful, than man, all his powers in fullest lay in harmony, soul help ing fiesh as Aiesh helps soul. But look again. The lusts of the flesh throw both from their God-laid tracks. Hell has no picture more hideous. Oh, man, wrecked by selfishness, Jesus came to redeem you and set youi again on the right tracks; to throw open the tracks of new life to you. Watch His life on earth of transcendent glory and follow Him. The trains are running on the Penn sylvania system to-day and travel is even safer. Third.-Jesus came, because only by Himself becoming the vine of humanity could God's life flow into velop a free manhood. Only by this infusion of Christ's life can weak man follow Him and grow like Him. "I am the vine. ye are the branches." "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood ye have no life in you." "I am the living bread, the bread of God which cometh down from Heaven and giveth life unto the world." A shallow infidel with flippant wit called this the "cannibalism of the church." This -is not a church ques tion. It is as practical as the call of the doctor on *hich your life depends. It is more vital. Jesus cares little about our formal worship. He carep much about our daily con duct. He cares most about our real motives, our inmost life. The most superficial thought must convince any man that we can have no life save from the God in whom we live and move and have our being; and, furthermore, that we must receive His life through the channels of His own appointing. His channel for us is the Son of Man. "If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will of life and it shall be yours. - If any man live not in Me, he will be a withered branch dnd be burned. If you live in Me. God will break forth into glory of abundant fruit in your life. Your joy will be full, your peace undis turbed, a puzzle to men in the world of trouble, your strength as the strength of God." Richard Mansfield's most thrilling sentence is, when as the prince, de prived of a natural childhood and youth, with the vehement passion of a mighty stream which suddenly bursts the dam which had long re strained its natural flow, he says to his fellow students: "We are young, and we're going to live." This hun ger and thrust for life, abundant life, Jesus approves. Even to those who. in their eager infatuation for life, choose "the way that seemeth right. unto a man, but whose end is death," Jesus speaks: "I came that you might have life. He that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth in Me shall never thirst." Come to Jesus, and your youth will have all your eyes and heart can crave. Oh, man about to turn away un convinced, take a few Sabbath hours to see the life He lived, and that you may live with Him-to imagine the face and bear the accents of the Prince of Life 'when He said to His contemporaries in Palestine as He says to His contemporaries in Amer ica to-day: "You will not come unto Me that you might have life." . Faithful Stewardship. 6Oe of the plainest duties of stew ardship is that we bring conscience and deliberate consideration to bear upon our administration of this world's goods. We are not faithful stewards if we spend according to our own whim and fancy, and let "charity" depend, as it so often does, on little better than accident or habit. We are stewards in regard to what we spend on ourselves and our fami lies, as well as in wha,t we spend for purposes bgyond ourselves- our per sonil- ind -dSme-tiic s'eiditufe, our savings and our gifts, and the propor tion between them should all equally pass under the inspection of delib erate conscience. If that were once thoroughly understood and practised by us, we should be very dIfferent people, and there would be very dif ferent results from many an appeal that Is made to us. Stewardship ieans deliberation, and Intelligent consideration, and conscientious dis posal and administration as of a fund that is not mine, but Is put Into my hand.-The Rev. Alexander Mc Laren. The Livery of Christ. ~. If you wear the liv'ery of Christ you will find Him so meek and lowly of heart that you will find rest unto your souls. He Is the most mag naminous of captains. There never was His like among the choicest of princes. He Is always to be found in the thickest part of the battle. When the wind blows cold He always takes the bleak side of the hill. The heav iest end of the Cross lies over His shoulders. If He bids us carry a bur den, He carries It also. His service is life, peace, joy. Oh, that you would enter on It at once. God help you to enlist under the ban ner of Jesus Christ.-Last words of the Rev. C. T-. Spurgeon.I What Prayer Gives. Prayer gives serenity, calmness, peace, trust, after the anxieties of expectancy, the exultations of success, the agonies of sorrow and bereave ment. What Is prayer, that it will make us thus tranquil and joyous, thus calm and trustful? What is prayer, that it purifies and exalts us, helps us to live worthily and hcpe fully? It is an irrepressible sense of want seeking supplies from the the Infinite' Fulness. It is aspiration climb ing along the craggy pathways to the Fountain of all joys and fruitions George Simnicns. - The Spirit-Filled Life. The Spirit-filled life is empty of self. When Christ comes in self goes out. The two are incompatible. When Jesus begins to reign He de thrones selfishness and pride. If there is to be a new life, there mtist be an utter surrender of the old will, with all its ways. The presence of God in a person's heart is proved by a character of unselfishness and ser vice. It is impossible for Christ to dwell in a selfish heart, for to do so would be to share an idol's throne. Rams Horn. Probably Dr. Alexander -Graham Bells special census report on the blind and deaf of the country will stand as the first thorough ofilcial ex am~naton of the subject. With him the investigaticn of blindness and deafness is a labor of love. He is an expert upon the subject, and he has been willing to devote to its examni nation an amount of time and trou ble that no ordinary oficial inquirer could afford. One point which Dr. Bell has brought out will attract much attention. He establishes the connection between cousin-marriage and blindness. In 5 per cent, of the cases of blindness in the whole coun try the parents of the afflicted were cousins. Of the blind whose parents were cousins. 25 per cent. were con genitally blind, whereas among the blind whose parents were not cou-. sins the proportion of congenitally blind was only G.S per cent.

THE -13NmDAY SHOOL INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR AUGUST 26. Subject: The Rich Young Ruler, Mark x., 17-31 - Golden Text, Matt. xvi., 24- Topic: Great Facts Connected With Salvation. I. Jesus and the ruler (vs. 17- i 22). 17. "Was gone forth." From I the house where He had blessed the children (vs. 13-1G). He now starts again on His journey to Jerusalem. "Came one running." From this and parallel accounts we learn that this man was, (1) young, (2) rich, (3) a ruler-probably of a synagogue and' possibly a member of the Sanhedrin, (4) very moral, (5) humble-he fell at Jesus' feet, (6) In earnest-he came running, (7) anxious to learn -he came as an inquirer; but he was also (1) self-righteous, (2) ig norant concerning spiritual truth, (3) unwilling to give up his earthly possessions and worldly prospects, (4) unwilling to trust all to Christ. "Kneeled." In this he was showing Jesus great respect and was recog nizing Him as a spiritual authority above the priest or rabbi. "Master." Or teacher. "What shall I do," etc. t His question shows that he believes I in a future state: he was not a Sad ducee. "Eternal life." The divine 1 life implanted in the soul by the I Holy Spirit. It begins in this life ( but will endure forever. 18. "Why I callest thou Me good?" Christ did not say that He was not good, or was I not God. If the young man called Christ "good," the question Jesus asked would lead directly to His di vinity. 19. "The commandments." Ac- t crding to Matthew Jesus said, "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the ] commandments." The young man asked Jesus which special or great commandment He referred to. Jesus ] replied by enumerating the com mandments in this verse. He re ferred only to the second table of the ] law, which relates to the duties of man to man. 20. "Have- I observed." He was strictly moral and had lived a good life outwardly. He then asked (Matt. 19:20) what he lacked yet. He was conscious of a lack In his spiritual life, and this question wasa serious inquiry as to its cause. 21. "Jesus-loved him." The Sa viour was drawn toward him. He saw in the young man great possibil ities. "Sell - give." Jesus struck right at the centre of the young man's difficulty. He was ready to give all to God but his property; this was the "one thing" over which he was about to stumble and fall. 22. "Went away grieved." His'counten ance fell and he went away sorrow ful. He went aiFay reluctantly, but I he went. He wanted eternal life, but he wanted his possessions more. II. Jesus' statement concerning riches (vs. 23-27).. 23.. "How hard ly," etc. That is, they shall enter with great difficulty. This Is amply confirmed by experience. Rich men seldom become true Cnristians. 24. "Trust in riches." Here Is the danger, the place where many a rich man will lose his soul. Riches cannot drive away anxiety. They cannot purchase contentment. They cannot buy friends. They cannot lure sleep. They cannot buy appre-t ciation. They cannot bribe death-. They cannot purchase eternal life. 25. "The eye of a needle." It has been suggested that the needle's eye was a small gate, leading into, the city, intended only for foot pas segers, and that the camel could only squeeze through with the great est difficulty, but "it is now generally thought that the calling this small gate the neeille's eye is a modern custom, and not in use in the time of Christ." 26. "Astonished." Like all Jews, they had been accustomed to regard worldly prosperity as a 1 special mark of the favor of God. "Who then can be saved?" All men by nature share the same guilt and love of the world. 27. "With men it is impossible." According to the power and ability of men this is .impjossible, but God, by His power, is able to so save a man that even the things that al lured him inost will lose their attrac tion to him. III. Rewards of following ChristI (vs. 2S-31). 2S. "Have left all." Their boats and nets and fish and father were everything to them. 29. "That hath left house," etc. In theC days of Jesus those who followed Him were obliged, generally, to for sake house and home, and to attend Him. In our time it is not often re-t quired that we should literally leave them, 'but it is always required that we love them less than we do Him.t 30. "An hundredfold." There I are few -greater promises than this.t This is symbolical, and expresses an l' immeasurable advantage. "Houses"s etc. Not literally a hundred houses,t etc., but he obtains a hundredfold more of joy and satisfaction than he f loses. "What was a barren rock be- fI fore becomes a gold mine." "With persecutions." That is, he must ex- I pect persecutions in this world.t "Eternal life." Which will infinite ly more than make up for all the Christian's trials here. Here are ages of enjoyment that no arithmetic can compute; oceans of pleasure, whose majestic bi~llows rise from the depths of infinitude, and break on no shore. 31. "First shall be last." The lesson intended to be taughti here is that those who occupy impor-I tant positions and who appear to be first in labor and wisdom here may place to others who have been of less in the next world/be forced to give renown here. God does not measure men as we do. LAUNDRY LINES.. Soaking handkerchiefs all night in strong salt water will greatly facilitate their washing.

This is the great prac ical question for everyone who hopes o see the kingdom of God establish d fully in the earth: How shall we ill the Lord's house? That is, how hall we multiply the number of iembers of the church? Not merely et people to "join the church," for here may be very little value in that, nd perhaps real harm sometimes. here must be a spiritual change. Jesus did not deceive his apostles, rying to make them content with heir vocation by minifying i~s diffi ulties and dangers. He told them hat the world would do its best to testroy -the good seed they might ow. The world's tharns, stones, ares, riches and pleasures are in a onspiracy against success. Indeed, he "world" is a mass of depravities, rrors, immoralities and false doc rines. For it the follower of Jesus an have no approving love, however auch he may love its welfare.
