When is it legally noon? Fire ina aurance policies expire a.t noon, and the word is admitted to mean exactly at 12 o'clock midday. But standard time has not been adopted in all com~ munities! Many small towns cling to the sun time, which may be from a few minutes to nearly an hour earlier than standard. In one State a fire occurred at two minutes past noon, j. sun time, and the insurance company held that the policy had expired bej fore the fire. Sun time is used in that town, but the insured sued the company, holding that local customs did not run the policy, and that he was entitled to his insurance. The State courts sustained him. In an'* other State a similar contention was k taken to the courts and just the opposite decision given. Several confiicting precedents have been established in State courts, and it is said the question can only be decided l'or ' priori nnri all when a rase has been '' carried into the United States courts and passed upon by the Supreme Court.?New York Press. )E, ST.

A vacuum preserving jar is a recent invention of an Illinois man. The invention relates primarily to - jars or other vessels for hermetically sealing and preserving fruits, foodstuffs, beverages and so on. The cover is held on by atmospheric pressure and readily released without injuring the cap, co that the vessel can be refilled and used an indefinite number of times, thus adapting it for household as other purposes. In the illustration it is shown in connection with a jar, the upper end of which is formed with a flange, upon which rests a cap so shaped as to form a tight connection. Around the edge of the cap is a rubber gasket. The centre of the cap is formed i with a small vent, closed by means of a rubber valve. A vacuum or partial 1 ' ^ 1 if? For Preserving Fruits, Etc. vacuum can be created by bringing the contens to a boiling temperature, which will cause the outside atmospheric pressure to tightly close the rubber valve in the cap; or the air at the top of the vessel can be exhausted by means of a simple pump. In the latter event the invention can be used for preserving materials without cooking. This invention is adapted to the use of any other material than glass for jars, and the form is not necessarily limited to that indicated in the drawing. Both j the jar and the cover are made entirely of glass, making it non-poisonous, with the advantage that it can be used again and again. Telegraph Lines For Europe.

A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON B THE REV. DR. E. TRUMBULL LEE. Subject: God's Plan of a Christian Brooklyn, N. Y.?Sunday mornin the union services of the Centn Presbyterian, Nostrand Avenue M. I and Puritan Congregational church* were transferred to the first- name church. The preacher was the Re1 E. Trumbull Lee, D.D., pastor of tb Chambers-Wylie Memorial Presbytt rian Church, Philadelphia, who i prominent in all the work of the d< nomination. His subject was "God Plan of a Christian," and the tej was taken from Ephesians iii:l! "Filled unto all the fullness of God. (R. V.) Dr. Lee said in substance: As tt apex of a pyramid is that point t< ward which the upright lines of th shaft converge, so our text is the cu mination of the teaching in vers( 16-19, inclusive. In these verses the sacred writ< gives in outline an Inspired sketc of a Christian as God would ha\ him. The writer wohld'have his readei understand him, and also be enable to fill out the plan in their lives, e he makes the matter the subject < prayer. See verse 14. He praj (16-19) that the whole family < Christian believers may be charactei ized by power, faith, knowledge an love in an unusual degree, as the te: says: "Unto all the fullness of God. That is, an overflowing measure. B this is meant that if in order to me< the requirements of God in the Chrii tian life it is necessary to ha\ power, then we must overflow wit power, or faith, overflow with faitl or knowledge, overflow with know edge, or love, overflow with lov< 11 * r\t Phrlof " tVto omnflt 111U iU T C VI VllliOb) tu& AVUV?JU|/I,?| love. In a word, God's plan of Christian is that a Christian Is a b( liever In Christ overflowing wit these constituent qualities of tt Christian life. This raises the question of r< sources. When I was living in Col* rado the Arkansas River, runnin east from the Rocky Mountains, cai ried a large volume of water, as now does. The river was drawn o to supply canals branching from tfc river and laterals from these canali which for extent and capacity woul soon have exhausted the river but fc vast stores of snow and ice piled u in the basins or great ppckets of tli mountains, which the daily toil < th? summer sun distilled into coun less streams, which flowed down an supplied the river. The ability of th river to supply the large draughts < water required by the canals was i resources which the river drew upo in the mountains. God is charactei ized by infinite resources. In Hli is an infinite reserve of power, know edge, love. He, therefore, plans th? Christians shall overflow with thos qualities herein enumerated, namel; power, faith, knowledge, love. S? the plan unfold under the mastei hand of the inspired apostle. Stud with me the passage, first, the ovei flow of power:' "Strengthened wit micht thrnnch the Snirit. in the inn( man * * unto all the fullnet of God." This means that the entire mon nature comes into touch with God ? conversion and becomes strengthene so that it becomes the expression ( the power of God to save. In th: city is a vast electric car systen Each car has a known carrying ci pacity and moves, empty or filled fu of passengers, not only on the lev< at the City Hall, but up a steep grad as when passing up Fulton stre< past Fort Greene place. But such car is a unit in a system, let us sa; of 3000 cars. Now the company dot business on the basis always of moi than enough power for all the cai to their united carrying capacit: These cars are "strengthened wit might" by coming into contact wit that overflow of energy. And eac car in the system is the expression c the totality of the company's electr! power. So when we become Chri! tian3 we become such by coming int contact with God through the Hoi Spirit, and we become the expressio on earth of God's power to savi This is the reason why, again an again, vast systems of wrong and c unbelief have been toppled over, wh no force of evil can ever come t stay. The first question any one need to ask is, "Am I a Christian? TJT????? > OWA o nnnr/11 n xicavcu aiiu ucn aic iiacu acwiuiu to the answer to that question. Bi the next question is, "What kind of Christian am I?" Am I a unit of p: tient, persistent, unconquerable pov er? Counting Protestants in this country, we are forty millions i number. Twenty millions of thes are members of churches.- It is in possible to estimate the vastness < the victories of our religion if eac 'unit were the expression of overflow ing power in Christian activity. Pan however, grasped the dynamic poss bilities involved, and exclaimed: ' can do all these things throug Christ, who strengthened me." Th! assurance of superlative ability c accomplishment can be cultivated b us if we make use of all the agenciei instrumentalities, ordinances and ii stitutions of our religion, just as man in the physical world can mah himself a hundredfold the master ( situations by laying hold on stean electricity and the like. Second?The overflow of faitl "That Christ may dwell In you hearts by faith * * * unto a the fullness of God." Faith remove mountains. It has always done si The victories of faith are slmpl marvelous. But victorious faith j not a sentiment, nor an enthusiasn nor an imagination. Victorious fait Is conviction In action. It begins wit a man and externalizes itself 1 achievements. Neptune was discos ered by men who believed that thz planet existed long before it was dli covered. Fulton believed that h could propel a boat by steam, an ceased not till his steamboat wa striking the waters of the Hudso with its paddle wheels, and so evoke a new note In the song of the world industry. The achievements of fait come from the overflow or faith troi within to the great world outsid< So in the field of the Christian lift "Faith without works is dead, bein alone." Faith is a conviction f truth, and there is the harnessing c all our faculties of mind, body an soul to the vast enterprises by xfhic surely the kingdoms of this world ar becoming the kingdom of our Lor Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is de; tined to rule the world, to creat here a new earth wherein dwellet cfnKtnmienoce ShflW the wir.lrP.d. th unbelieving, the worldly people a about you that God reigns, and yo believe it, that Christ saves and yo believe it, and that the Holy Spir: sanctifies and you believe it. Ovei flow of faith! Third?The overflow of know edge. "That ye may be able to con i ^ fc*' ' -V-. ' - - ? ?" prehend ? to know ? the lefcgttf* breadth, depth and heighth of GoVe plan to save unto all the fullness of God." Any one who reY gponds to God's great passion of redeeming mercy becomes a larger and a better being, made so by that very Tpsoonse. Such aa.nne zp.tii knowl i. edge of God, and the relations between God and man, man and God, and man and man, that no school of philosophy on earth can supply. ? Think not, in knowledge of divine , truth, to live up only to the average ,J' of your contemporaries, but push that average up. Knowledge deter* a mines the world in which we live. 7' Here are -two men, an ignorant man j? and an educated man. They live on r~ the same planet, but also they live In j different worlds. The ignorant man f~ cannot understand the world in ? which the educated man lives. He !j was never in it. The educated man ,; understands the world of the Ignorant man, because out of that world he came. The difference between i? these men Is the degree of knowledge 5" possessed. L Similarly the natural man, the man of the world who lives for this !S world, cannot understand the world in which the Christian lives. They live In different worlds. The distinr guishing fact is in the degrees of e knowledge possessed by them. And it, is knowledge, and then the overf "flow of knowledge, that makes , the Christian, and the effective Christian. I(i Fourth?The oyerflow of love. " "And to know the love of Christ * which passeth knowledge * ' unto all the fullness of God." What ^ is the greatest thing about God? Not . omnipotence, omniscience nor omni? presence, nor yet any of his attributes, but love, for "God is love." ^ What He is must be greater than ' what He dbes. " Moreover, what redeems the k world? Not philosophy, nor science, j nor mere classical or scientific educa/ tion. But love saves the world? ~ "God so loved the world that He gave ' His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him might not perish but have everlasting life." Jesus "h Christ came into the w'orld?"not to ie condemn the world, but that through Him the world might be saved." The . Holy Spirit makes this offering of divine love good. But it is written that whoso "dwelleth in love, dwellr_ eth in God, and God in him." There ^ you have it. Into the plan of a n Christian love enters. It is defined here as the "love of Christ," that is B a redemptive passion to "go into all j the world and preach the gospel to )r every creature." To meet the plan _ you must be missionary. You must g be filled with a passion for evangelization and philanthropy. Thus will you conquer.sin, destroy the works of J Satan, and hasten the final epiphany ie of Jesus Christ. jf In conclusion, how meet the ren quirements of the plan of a Chrisn tian? By prjiyer (verse 14). The r. best life is begun and- is continued in n prayer. By prayer we worship, j. Through worship God opens to us lt the door of life. Men and women of LlllO TTUl 1U AUUlMiV M? 9 the believer in Christ enters in and ,g takes possession. Eternity is ager-_ less, has no gray hairs, no wrinkles y chiseled on its regal brow, and whor_ ever of you will build the temple of b life, character and deed, after God's !r plan, hath undying youth. js In the evening Dr. Lee preached on "A Living Faith," and took for his text James ii: 1: "The faith of tt our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory." Among other things he ,f said: This is the faith of which Our [S Lord is author both in the structure of the gospel, and in the experience of the believer. This faith, then, is ]] a divine thing. It has always been i| subject to tests, but these very tests fe have only brought out Its enduring qualities and sublime achievements. a I was never more confident than I yri am to-day of the need of proclaiming >s the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ as e the only solvent for life's perplexi fl ties, disappointments, anxieties, worrles, doubts, problems, unrest, lawh lessness and the world's sin, both old h and gray-headed, and all so strong h yet, having age-long redundancy. I ft am convinced that human wisdom is lc powerless to change the experiences 3. here listed, that no evolutionary 0 process can deliver us from them by y enabling us to outgrow them and Q throw them off, and that tkere is no B> "new theology" to provide a better d way than the old way?"the faith of ,f our Lord Jesus Chrast, the Lord of y glory." o We need to pray the disciples' prayer?"Lord increase our faith." fat+Vi /wnnnors ovftrvthine but [S A ?1 ?
