Presently the excited young clergyman came back with the man of science, who seized the old .lady's hand from beneath the coverlet and. holding it In hift to feel her pulse, turned upon Mr. Arbuthnot and asked: "What's this on her hands?"

CHARACTERISTICS OF HERMIT CRABS Thay Take Any Krapty Shell They Chun to JTiBcy and Llvt la It. Hermit cfabs are like squatters among men. who take any unoccupied land which they chance to find and erect a bouse of slabs on it. These crabs back into the best shell they can find which fits them and proceed as if It had always belonged to them. There are two species at the Aquarium?water and land hermit crabs. They both have the same characteristics of living in shells left empty by other animals. It does not seem to matter whether It is a conch shell or a snail's shell i?a& they creep into?they adapt themselves to the shape of either with equal facility and nimbly carry it around on their 1 U 411 ?!.?.

Probably Thorean would count them among the most fortunate of llv? ins things, for the? appear to have no superfluity of goods to prevent them from getting out of life all the happiness there Is in It. Evidently they do not believe In neigbborlincss. for they enjoy a little light?or appear to. They are armed with a claw that would cause consider* able pain if inserted in one's flesh. This claw is of such a shape and size that it flts tightly over the opening In the shell and seals it against the intrusion ; of an enemy. When the enemy Is of a I lisp and amrresiilvenesa that makes discretion the better part of valor, the crab paD* his small daws into the shell aud locks the door after him with bis great claw. This is hard as well as large, and acts aa an effective barrier. The water hermit crabs are fed with bits of clam and fish. They do not wait to be fed. however, and spend mnch of their time digging np the sand in the bottom of their jar and throw* ing it into their months in the search for food.

Wilbur Chapman haa never delivered a more eloquent and convincirf mcusagr than is contained in the following: wrmnn, entitled, 'The Secret of Hit Presence." It was preached from the text: "He that dwelletn in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Pnlm jw.: 1. To me this is one of the most beautiful ! expressions in all the Bible; beautiful bej cause it is poetic, but more than that for I the reason that it hojds up before us one I of the greatest privileges inai can comc to the children of God. There is a difference of opinion as to who the author of the Psalms ma/ be. i We eet into the wav of thinking that David wrote everything in the Psalter, but Mose* it the author here. The Talmud aicribes not only this one to him but the nine preceding a? well. The rule ia that all the Psalms without a name in the title are to be aacribcd to the poet whose name ia given in the nearest preceding title, bnt this rule will not always bold pood. This is the Psalm quoted by the devil when he was tempting Christ "upon the mountain, and it has ever been throbbing with comfort for every troubled iioul. Whoever wrote it. it is beautiful, und all will agree that the lesson taught is one touching our rommunion with God and our fellowship with Jesus Christ. It is very true that all Christians do net occunv the same position in this world. All are saved, and it ia by the s-ime "precious blood of Christ." But there is so much more to the Christian life than simply beinr saved; that is only the beginning. The blessings here 1 ir? triven in i verv general wav. I God in no re?pecter of person*, and no it is a>> if He had said, any one who will fulfill the condition* may hare th?* blessing; and as there is only the one condition, namely, that we ehall dwell in the "secret place of the Most High." you would think that all would accent, for the promise is that we "shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." The blessings here promised are not for ell believers, but only for those who live in close fellowship with God. Every - child of God looks toward the inner sanctuary and the mercy seat, but all do not dwell there. They ran to it ?t time* imd *njoy occasional glimpses of the face of Him who is there to be seen: but tliey do not continually abide in the myatrrioua presence, and this it possible for <?very one. It ia with the desire that I might 'earn the ksson mv?elf js well as bring it 'to vou._ and with the almott unutterable longing that we might know how to abide ? ? W- ft A.% i T i lii ine sprrri 01 rt? prwence inai i Have brought yon the subieet. May the Lord help on every one! I hare been on the monptain topa of Christian experience. when I have teemed to see the face of Him who loved me and gave Himself for me. and I am rare that von can any the same; but the text aavs th*t we may abide there in our thoughts while we may > e all the ti'ie iz the very thickest of the firht for God. 1 like the verve. Every word ia aweeter than honey in the honeycomb. It ia ao restful to know that there is any "lace in the world where we may abide. There is alao something very winninc to me in the fact that i+ is a secret place, for that surely means that God las ?omethinjr that ia iaat intended for mt, and for me alone. When I am there, I am awav from the world. It ia the place Mrs. Brown discovered when she wrote the beautiful hymn. *7 love in solitude to sflied The nenitential tear; 'And all Hia promiaes to plead When none but God can hear." There ia something about the word "shadow" that alwavs interests, for there never has been a shadow without the light; thita the "secret place" moat he a place of brightness. It is a nlace where God is, for the nearest of all thing* .to me as I journey in the sunlight is my shadow, and lie who walks in my shadow or mt? in it must be very near to me; so that when I am in the shadow of God. I can reach forth mv hand and touch Him: I can lift up mine eyes and see Him face to face. I know there is a sense in which God is always near us. He is in all things, and He is everywhere. But there is something about the "secret of His present*" to which every one is a stranger until be has dwelt there. In the 119th Psalm the psalmist seems la the first part to be writing of the presence of God in a general sort of way. As another na* said. "He had been beating out the golden ore of thought through succcwiive paragraphs of marvelous power and beauty, when suddenly in the fiftyfirst verse be seems to have become conscious that He of whom he had been spehk ng had drawn near and was bending over him. 'iiac sense of the presence of God was borne in upon his inner consciousness, and lifting up a face on which reverence and ecstacy met and mingled. I MNA^I* 'T'hnii arf naaf H T " Vf : we could only attain unto this how strong, 1 bow happy, how useful we should be. It i* possible as well for those of us who are in the verv midst of perplexing cares as fair the priest or the saint; for since the Master bids us all to abide in Him. and does not limit either His meaning or the number of people who may obey. I am absolutely certain that it rests with me and with yon to determine whether we hall take advantage of our high?privilege. L ' The typical reference most be to the holy place of the tabernacle, which the priests were privileged to enter; but Peter auurcs 03 that we have become in this new dispensation "a holy priesthood," o that it is possible for us to enter on that ground. If this interpretation is allowed, then it is something, too wonderful almost to describe, to which we are bidden, for in the tabernacle just beyond the veil was the glory cloud, and all the m a cm i licence that could he wrought in gold and silver, purple and fine linen. But I am persuaded that even that was as nothing when compared to that which awaits us when we enter the secret place of God. The writer to the Hebrews tells us jost bow we may enter. "Having, therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His fle*h," how easy it all seems when we look at it in this way! A Christian is all wrong according to the text if be thinks that all the life here below must be turmoil and strife, for there ! is an abiding even here, ana a sweet, undisturbed communion even in the midst I of the tempest. A dwelling place is a | home, not a temporary shelter to which i one may run for momentary relief, as the | birds fly to the boughs of the trees in the midst of tbe storm and then leave , again when the storm has passed. It is I the idea of a home. Wbat can be more restful and comfortable? The Hebrew for the expression "shall abide*' is "shall | pass the night." Is it not a wonderful thing that the experiences that have teemed to its to be Heaven begun below, but have been as fleeting as the shadows sweeping the hillside, may lie with us all the time? What place is so restful as your home? I know there is a rest that comes to one the moment he accepts the pardon that is offered by the Redeemer and the burden at sin is gone. "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest." This is His promise, and lie never has failed; but immediately following that expression is this: "Take My yoke upon you. and learn of Me, for 1 am meek and ibwly in heart, and ye icball find rest unto your souls." I suppose one mifrht secure the former and never comc to the latter. Is not that the rest that comes to us when we are near enough to learn of Him, which is only snother way of speaking of the "secret place?" What place is so comfortable as the home7 There we are iree xrom me annoyance* of the world; there we have that which seems to soothe and to quiet. Could there be anything more expressive than the worda we find in the fourth er?e of the 91 *t Psalm: "He shall cover thee with Hi* feathers." It would be almost sacrilege for one to use the worda % if the7 were not in the Bible: bnt 'M jBf^ the nictnre of the siother bird ibieHHreft the little ones.

In order that the subject may be the more practical and helpful I desire to suggest some thin^* which will surely be ours when we fulfill the conditions. 1. In the "secret place" there is peace. "In the world (ve shall have tribulation," our Master said, "but in Me ye shall have peace." I have read that a certain insect has the power to surround itself with a film of air. encompassed in which it drop* into the midst of muddr, stagnant |tools, and remains unhurt. And the believer may be thus surrounded by the atmosphere of God. and while he is in the midst of the turmoils of the world he may be filled to overflowing with the peacc of God. because Ood is with him. This is true whatever your occupation, if it is ever so menial. The Rev. P. B. Meyer tells us of Ijiwrence. the simpleminded cook, who said that "for more than sixty years he never lost the sense of the pwence of God. but was as conscious of it white performing the duties of his humble office as when partakinz of the " "M 1 1. - ^ ijOra ft Pnpper. warn peacc nc mu? have had! If von at* constantly engaTed ao that too nave said it wan impossible for yon to enjoy your religion very much beeanae you were 10 buy, atill you mav have this p*ace. because you are in the "aecret place." I know that it i* impossible for one to keen two thoughts in the mind at '.be tame time and do them both justice: but there in the heart aa well aa the mind, and while the mind ia buay the h*art may he rejoieinp in a!I the fallnes* of God. The or?tor ia eonaciona of the nreeence of his Audience, and hi* heart ia touched by their appreciation while hia mind ia buay in presenting the thought* that more them. Ton may hare all yoflr mind taken up with the book vou are rending or studying, but tout heart is conscious of the presence of the one yon lore and who sit* by your side. The mother mar be very tm*r in one p?rt of the bnuae: her mint! may be greatly enraged. hut ner heart in coaaciou* of the fact, tb.it her littV babe ia in another nart fit the house. and the leaat err will draw her to the ehild. 80 the mind may be occupied to the very fullest extent, and even be disturbed by the things about a*, while the heart mnv be abiding in aweet communion and felinwahip with Him because we are dwelling in the "aecret place." ? Thoee were comforting words of the Ma?ter's when He mid. "Peace I leave with you, Mv peace I give unto you, not mb the world giveth. give I unto vou. Let not your heart* be troubled, neither let them be afraid." So that T mav have peace even when trial comes. David found thia to be true, for in that beautiful P?ilm. the 27th. he says: "Tn the time of trouble He will hide me in His pavilion; in the rrrr?t of Hi? tabernacle will He hide me." The pavilion was a great tent in the verv centre of the camp, and when he wu there nothing could harm him: he conld be at peace even if he should hear the aounda of hie enemies. -But the rxprr*sion is even stronger than that, for David say* that if it were necemry God would even out him in the "aecret of Hi* tabernacle;" that ia the same u the ffo?7 of Holies; and who wonM not hare been safe there? Here ia oar "eecret olace" again, nnd this ia just where God hft* riven an the nrivilege of coinr. Why ahoald we be diatarbed if trouble* are abont u* and our enemiea riae op to do ua harm? 2. In the "secret place" there ia pnritr. If our aurroundinga were only better in thia world, our livei would be parer. It ia very eaay to be good in the company of some Deople we know; they seem to draw ] out all the food in na. To be anrronnded by certain kinda of acenerv ia to be lifted near Heaven; to touch a little child pure aa the anrel* of God ia to receive a benediction. What could not the preaence of ! God do for ua if onlv we were all the time con*cioni? of it? Thia ia juat what I may hare, did I hut dwell in the "aecret place." One of the reaaona which David fives for desiring to dwell in the houae of the Lord was that "he might behold the beaatv of the Lord." I wish that it might be possible for me I 1? -1-!_ -1 T !-Ll io maxc Diain 10 you h i raigut uoderstand it myself all the' beauty that wait* ui in the "secret place." Think of the gorgeousness of the Holy of Holies in the ancient tabernacle, which is a type of this! The wonderful curtain* and hangings of the nlare, its bine and purple, its fine twined linen and threads of gold. Think of the beautiful veil with the cherubim, with the embroidery so fine that angel fingers must hare wrought . them, the table of pure gold holding the 1 bread, and .the sevcn-branched candle* stick? Who from the outride looking upon the badger-skin tent would have imagined how glorious it was within? So I do not think it would be possible to make plain to you all that awaits you in the "secret plaoc." He who has dwelt there with God could not tell his Joy if he had an angel's speech; but this i know, that if you will but enter in and dwell there, the very beauty of the place will make yo:i pnre, and you remember that it is only unto "the pure in heart" that the vision o! God is promised. m. I have left to the very last the most : B'actical question of all, and that is: ow may I enter into this "secret place?" Cannot something be said that will make the way plain? It may all be summed up in this iinnriir. None ran "know the 1 Father bat the Son. and be to whom ' the Son will reveal Him." It ia impos- , ible ;or anv one to enter into the "secret J lace" of the Most High except through I eaux Christ. He said. "I am the way, I' j am the door, by Me, if any man will, he shall enter in." It ia jasl what Panl meant when he said, f "But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were afar off are. made nigh by the blood of Christ." t There arc some places in the Bible i where the way seems plain. "He thnt eatetii My ftah and drinketh Mv blood dwelleth in Me, and I in him." And < whatever else ia meant by this feeding on Christ, this certainly is true? we are to set apart daily periods of time when ' we may have communion with the Saviour. Ta it not because we are too hurried that our vision of Christ is blurred r and indistinct? It ia only when the water ia still that you can see the pehj>lv bench . below. You could not po alone with I Christ half an hour each dav, or even ? j less tjme. and sitting still, look up into His face, by faith talk to Him and let Him a talk to you. without feelinp that for a s iv?r* nf flu* rlnv vnti K.irl Wn in h heaven, when in fact it wa? only the !

Then we could nay with Paul: "I live, and vet not I. but Christ livpth j! in me " Again T have read in the Bible . thwe words: "He that keenth Hia com- * manHmenta dwelleth in Him. and Hp in him." And T have found that I nave only to no th? way T think Christ wanta " me to go and to do the things I think I He want# me to do to be able to atand on i R the very mountain top of Christian ex- I perienee: and that is only another 'vnv I of s*>eakinc of the "serret place."
