Glorious Grace.
How wonderful, abundant and glorious
is the grace of God as revealed in
Hie Word. Its depths have nevei
been fathomed by man. Its riches
are so great that man can never exhaust
tbem any more than fish can exhaust
the ocean by driuking all of its
water they need.
Grace as used in the Bible means
God's kindness and favor freely bestowed
upon man without any condition
of merit on man's part. If we deserve
what God gives it is not of grace.
If we earn a favor from God then that
favor is a reward, not a gift of free
grace. He has promised rewards to
those of His people who use opportunities
for service faithfully. That is
another thing than crace. Yet the
very grace God bestows is absolutely
necessary to our ever receiving aDy
praise or reward for faithful service.
We are saved by grace from the wrath
of God against sin?grace made possible
by the death of His Bon. We are
saved from the power of sin and made
faithful in His service by grace received
into the heart. This was made
possible oy the resurrection and ascension
of Christ, who pours out upon us
the same Spirit of grace which was
upon Him when He was on earth.
Christ was full of the grace of God ; He
wants thoie who follow Him to be full
o'f the same grace. When our hearts
are full of grace we shall treat our
brothers and sisters in Christ as He
?? ? ? 1 J iU ..ma ml-? /\ nn rtf /"3,/Nrl
wuaiu treat lueiii. iuc ui uuu
in the heart, in so far as it is permitted
to control us, will make us forgiving,
kind, faithful, loyal to Christ and
anxious for the salvation of sinners.
As God forgives us, so we forgive; as
He ha9 helped us, so we will help
others.

The Class Meeting Specially Beaannable
To-day.
The class meeting Is peculiarly appropriate
to these times. Many dispute
this. They tell us the institution
is worn out. We strongly contend
that there never was a period when it
was more needed. In the rush of
modern life how difficult it ia to secure
"quiet resting places." We live In
such a whirl that reflection is hard to
exercise. We need a voice bidding
us stand still awhile, Such a voice is
that of the class meeting. It afTords
an opportunity of meditation and
prayer. Some of u* think that if no
words were spoken in a class meeting
it would still be a precious means of
grace for this noisy, driving, fevered
age. Reflective means of grace are all
* - iL. -? 1 TC
loo rare iu lue uuuruuea. xi iur uu
other reason, the class meeting is
distinctly seasonable to-day. Many
cannot secure the necessary quiet in
their own homes. How good it is to
get an hour in a chamber of the temple,
and there, with like-minded
friend, ponder and converse and pray.
We urge this aspect of the class meeting.
It is au offset to modern restlessness.
It is a sanctuary of quiet. It is
a "aelah" iu the loud, rapid psalm of
life.
Be Oood Deep Down.
An exemplary Christian life is the
greatest magnet in the world to draw
sinners to God. It is better than
floods of eloquence and cyclones of entertainment.
Just be (rood deep down
in your heart and all the way through,
and your power to attract people to
the God who saves you will be boundless
and unceasing. Men have sought
out many inventions, but they have
not improved on New Testament piety
as a meaus of commending religion.
An ungodly person respects a straightout
righteous life more than anything
else under the sun. He may affect to
ignore it, or even to despise, it but in
his secret soul he honors it more than
can be told. By depth of integrity
and uncompromising loyalty to God,
compel your associates to believe in
you. and you hold them as by silken
cords. They cannot eet away from
you, nor forget you. The chances are
that if faithful, you can lead them to
Christ. We say again, nothing draws
humanity to God and truth like holy
happy living.
Listening well and answering well
are among the greatest perfections
that can be attained in conversation.

OLD BOOKS.
Their Contents Rather Than Tkclr
Dates Make Them Valuable.
"It is extraordinary," said a book col
lector me oiner day, rne vaiue some people
attach to old books siifiply because th?y
are old. Not long ago a friend ot mine
Bhowed me two old trunks filled with
books which he had found in a house originally
the property of his wife's grandfather,
and which she had recently inherited
from her mother. There were in all perhaps
about. 800 volumes, most of whioh
bore the dates 1760, 1770, 1765 and so on,
and my friend confidently believed that
they were worth at least their weight in
gold. On the contrary, they were books
of very little value and interest, and not
worth much more than their weight as
waste paper. He politely suggested that I
was a liar when I tqld him that, but he
changed his mind after he had tried in
vain to sell the books to secondhand dealers.
"Outside of these overestimated books
my friend's wife had a barrelful of pam
phlets which she was going to use to kindle
the Are with. Though worthless in
my friend's opinion, these had really considerable
value, being old Massachusetts,
Philadelphia and New York almanacs,
Revolutionary pamphlets and broadsides
and printed documents relating to Kings
and Queens counties, and a dealer paid
my friend $100 for the lot. One of the despised
almanacs was Charles Smith's
'Gentleman's Pocket Almanac' for the
year 1796, which contained a portrait of
Washington ? one of the rarest of the
Washington portraits?and yet my friend
was going to kindle the fire*with it.
"It is really next to impossible to get
such people to believe that a book is not
of necessity worth money because it was
printed a long time ago. . Nine oat of ten
books published before this century are
growing more worthless every, year. The
tenth one has value, higher or lower, in
proportion to its character. Occasionally
a literary gem, a book of real value t<5 a
collector, maybe found in a lumber room,
but the date on the title page is never a
safe guide."?New York Commercial Ad
vertiser.
SIR WALTER RALEIGH.
Varied Career of the DIatingrnlshed
Courtier and Adventurer.
Raleigh's day of days was at the sack of
Cadiz in 1596. It was Raleigh who overbore
the timid counsels of Lord Thomas
Howard, crying out to Lord Essex: "Entramosl
Entramoa!" a permission so acceptable
to the gallant young earl that he
threw his hat into the sea for sheer joy.
Then Raleigh betook him to his ship and
led the van under the batteries and right
into the harbor. When his vessel, shattered
by shot, was on the point of sinking,
he left it to enter Essex's ship, and,
though wounded severely by a splinter,
had himself carried on shore and lifted on
to a horse to charge with Essex against
the Spanish army. Of the sea fight Hakluyt
says:
" What manner of fight this was and
with what courage performed and with
what terror to the beholder continued,
where so many thundering tearing peaces
were for so long a time discharged, I leave
It to the Reader to thinke and in agine."
Of the charge on Bhore he tells ts: "The
time of the day was very hot and faint,
and the way was all of dry deepe slyding
sand in a manner, and beside that, very
uneven. But the most famous Earle, with
his valiant troopes, rather running in
deede in good onler, then marching, hastened
on them with such unspeakable courage
and celerity, as within one hourea
space and lesse the horsemen were all discomforted
and put to flight, their leader
being strooken downe at the veiy first encounter,
whereat the footmen, being wonderfully
dismayed and. astonished at the
unexpected manner of the Englishmen's
kinde of such fierce and resolute fight, rej
J i.1 1 I .11 j .11.U

that they could."
"We know the story of Sir Walter Raleigh
but too well?his cruel imprisonment, his
more cruel liberation to save his life by
accomplishing the impossible and his
most cruel execution on a warrant signed
IB years earlier. He knew all that is to
be known of success and failure, of courts
and treachery, of sea fights and assaults
on cities, of treasure islands and tempests
and long marches in tangled forests.?
Fortnightly Review.
The Landrail.
The most remarkable thing about the
landrail is its extraordinary instinct or
passion for migration. Whence comes to
it that overpowering desire which twice
in the year impels it, weak winged though
it is, to change its quarters, to range during
our English springtime as far north
as the bleak and frozen shores of arctio
Greenland, to descend in the fall of the
year away south into Africa, and eastward
into Asia, reaching in its return migration
countries so distant and so widely
sundered as Natal and Afghanistan? At
present, in spite o* neories and surmises,
we have no satisfactory reason offered to
us for the wonderful migration?recurring
steadily, persistently and unfailingly,
year after year?of a bird like the landrail,
whose weak wings and strongly developed
legs plainly attest the fact that
its natural powers of progression lie far
mnm In walkiric and running than in
flying.?Saturday Review.
< The Smart Verger.
The church possessed a valuable Bible,
which was only used on Sundays, says a
writer in The Cornhill Magazine, speaking
of an English country parish. During
the week it was kept in a box whioh rather
curiously formed the stand upon which
the reader of the lessons stood. On one
occasion, when this was being shown to a
visitor, the remark was made that it did
not seem very reverent for even a clergyman
to tread upon the Bible. "Pardon
me," the old verger replied. "In thla
church, sir, we take our stand upon the
Scriptures."
A Barrel of Flour.
A barrel of flour will make nearly double
its weight in bread. Flour rapidly deteriorates
with age unless kept dry. It
absorbs moisture, and this moisture impairs
the gluten which is indispensable to
the lightness of the bread. Besides, it
changes some of the starch into sugar and
a gummy matter known as dextrin, and

Seven miles to the north and a little to . v<;ij

However, they all agree that the ice forma . ''2a
In the well during the summer and that "
it actually thaws during the winter. This vjjw
apparent contradiction of the natural laws
that govern the outside-world haa carried
the fame of this well for miles around and
people have traveled great distances to
witness the formation of icicles during the
hot weather of July.
This well is within a few hundred feet
of the summit of vLittle Wolf mountains, /on
the north slope, at the very beginning
of Greenleaf creek, which empties into
Rosebud eight miles from where the Rose- X ^
bud joins the Yellowstone river. .This ffJa
portion of the mountain is covered with a
growth of tall pines.
Fourteen years ago three men prospecting
for silver, mistaking certain colors in
the rocks, began sinking a shaft. At 15 'J&i
feet it was disagreeably cold, at 20 feet 'M
the cold had increased so rapidly that they
were thoroughly frightened. They could
feel currents of cold air rushing up from Oi-uS
the crevices in the rock. They imagined ?&9
they were digging into some mysterious X59
underground cavern. They had heard just
enough of wonderful adventures of dig- /ffij
ging into caves and underground lakes, r.$3
and being alone in this wilderness, where '$8
the very stillness permitted the ears to yjSi
hear fend .the mind to imagine all manner ^tsl
of growsome powers hid beneath the rook, -$8
bo thoroughly filled them with fear of impending
danger that they abandoned the
work which has since gained such renown.
The summits of Little Wolf mountain*
are covered with scoria, which has all the
appearance and texture of a good grade of %
tiling. It is usually red,'but varies in color
through all the shades down to black.
These varying colors give the beautiful
tints to the thousands of buttes throughout
the bad lands. In comparatively re- ,
cent geological times vast beds of Ignite
coal were formed over the eastern half of <. $1
Montana, extending into western Dakota.
The burning of these beds of coal was the ; ji
beginning of the bad land formation. The
fine deposits of clay above the coal were >$3
burned as brick are burned in a kiln and J3j
formed the scoria. Where the heat was
greater and rock and sand were present It
melted and mixed with the coal and coal
ish, forming large cinderlike rocks, which
ire sometimes mistaken for lava. As the
coal burned out from beneath the clay,
now baked into scoria and melted Into cinders,
it broke into small divisions and fell
promiscuously down into the pits thus
formed. Volcanic ash is found scattered
over the Little Wolf mountains and the
eUBberiJi puri/iuu uj. jjuLuuuvLua. jlo uxumi* jjoto y*,.h
drifted with the wind from powerful erup- ;j
tions In the Rockymountalns, as there are $
no indications of any volcanio action in 'wj
the vicinity of the ice well. The Little .
Wolf mountains are merely a rough range
of buttes apparently of the same origin aa ^
all the bad land buttes. . Their summits,
towering above all the other buttes, have
given them the name of mountains, but
they are only of slightly over 4,000 feet
titudo. If ice were to be nut into the well
during the winter, it would keep through- 1 ^
out the summer nearly as well as if stored
away in ordinary icehouses. By chance na- _; M
ture has formed almost the identical oonditions
that man has made use of to preserve
ice throughout the hot weather. The
shaft is the cavity in which to store the < /
ice. The volcanic ash, filling into the open
space between the loosely piled rock, serves
the purpose of sawdust in keeping out the
warm drafts of air. The altitude and the
north slope are favorable to the preservation
of the ice. Tall, dense forest prevents
the heating of the surface rock by the di- ;
rect rays of the sun. The rocks are too
porous for the water to soak up, so to
speak, from beneath. The facts are that in
many places near the tops of the buttes,
on the sides where the rocks have fallen
loosely together, they are perfectly dry for
many feet below the surface, being moistened
by the winter snow and rain as it
may fall and run down from above.
During the winter the well la nearly 1
filled with snow.. Enough water from the
early spring rains finds its way through
between the rocks to mix with the snow
and freeze into one solid mass of loe. The
ice in the well is formed by the ooldof
the winter season, but does not begin to
form sometimes till the winter 1e half , ' <
gone. -H
In turn, It is melted by the heat of the
summer, but does not begin to melt until
the summer is half over. In the early
part of the summer it is still freezing in
the well, and during the first half of the
winter it is still melting. The well acta
as a refrigerator. It receives the heat
slowly and then gives it off just as slowly.
If the earth received and gave off heat
readily, the hottest weather would be in
June and the coldest in December?in
fact, the seasons follow nearly a month
behind the sun.
It is a fact that if on a hot day you walk
rapidly into the cave to where the ice is it
feels as though a strong current of cold
air were blowing against your face. The
sensation is so decidedly real that it requires
careful demonstration to prove to
the contrary, and even then it almost
seems as though the demonstration has
been a mistake. It can be easily tested by
using smoke, or better still, a rather
heavy colored gloss. Again, if one should
stand without the chtrance to the cav* on
a very warm day near enougn to ieei any
draft that may be stirring, none can be
felt coming from the cave. If one should
stand directly above the ice well on a hot,
6till day, even putting the face down to m V
the very opening into the well, no upward
draft of cool air can be felt, but go down
into the well and one would state positively
