The Connecticut Historical Societj' has received from the Massachusetts Historical Society a work on "John Foster, the Earliest American Engraver and the First Boston Printer." His claims to both titles are clearly set forth in the volume and. being the first of the Boston printers, he could with but little violence be considered as in the ancestry of The Courant. Foster was born in 1648 and graduated from Harvard College in 1667. Because of his learning he was a schoolmaster as well as a printer and engraver. That he was well thought of is shown by a letter written by John Eliot, the Indian apostle, who refers to him as "an ingenious young scholar." A specimen of his work as an engraver is a picture of Richard Mather, who, after making all possible allowance for the austerity of the Puritans, could not possibly have looked as forbidding as he is depicted. innthor nmrlr hv TTnster armears on a broadside entitled "God's Severe Judgments Upon Sabbath Breakers in Their Unlawful Sports, Collected Out of Several Divine Subjects." It bears four cuts by Foster, one showing the drowning of a party of young men who were playing football on the ice on the Lord's day, another the burning of a woman and her two daughters who were drying and spinning flax on the Sabbath, a third the burning of a mill because the miller was grinding on Sunday and the fourth a Biblical scene showing the punishment inflicted on Sabbath breakers All are thoughtfully provided with Qaptions in order that they may be recognized. Foster was more active as a printer than as an engraver and, like the mer of his time, he printed sermons and especially those delivreed by IncVease Mather. One notable example is "The Wicked Man's Portion. Or a Sermon Preached at the Lecure ir Boston on the 18th day of the 1 Moneth, 1674, when two Men, Nicholas Feaver and Robert Driver, were executed who had Murthered theii Master Wherein is Shewed that Excess in Wickedness doth bring Untimely Death." fhn nnrrhpatei* records bear this entry under date of 1681: "This yeai died Mr. John Foster, son of Captain Hopestill Foster, schoolmaster of thf colony, and he that made the ther seal of arms of the colony, namely ai Indian with a bow & arrow." He was of such importance that an elegy upoi him was written and printed, fortunately after his death. It contain* some seventy-five lines and its .char acter can be judged by its beginning wh}ch follows: "Here lye the relict Fragments tha were took Out of Consumption's teeth by th? Cook.

'.r-4 JLiitruje; uuvc ui viuioi* Brooklyn, N. Y.?In Bethany Presbyterian Church, the pastor, the Rev. ? L. O. Rotenbach, M. A., Sunday morning preached on "The Optimism and Omnipctence of Love." He took as his text, John 13:34, and I. Corinthians 13:8: "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one an- ^ other; even as I have loved you. that j ye also love one another." "Love never faileth." Mr. Rotenbach briefly dwelt upon the scene in the upper chamber at p Jerusalem as presented by John, j bringing out the touching contrast as t, revealed on the one hand in the weak- c ness and petty self-seeking of the dis- ^ ciples, with the strength and self-re- jnunciation of the Master, while He ? girded Himself and bathed their feet; j and on the other hand, in the callous j, unresponsiveness of Judas pursuing q his sordid purpose, with the unfailing j tenderness of the Christ committed B to His passion, as He gave the sop p and Judas went out. By the contrast q he brought out vividly the optimism n and omnipotence of the love of Christ, 7 and then continued : g What elements can we discover in ^ this love which is pre-eminently tho g love of Jesus? Are they not these, r namely?vision, faith, sacrifice? As t to vision. Just recall the age or rath- g er Jesus' point of contact with the t 1 ace. Through Nazareth ran one of ^ the great caravan routes connecting the great sea on the west wjth Damascus in the east, and this was crossed at points by the coast route to Egypt, so that Nazareth's streets were famil- , iar with Syrian and Tyrian, Roman and Greek, as well as Jew. As a caravan centre much that was coarse, -unclean and degraded;1 the detritus of humanity, was in evidence, to say nothing of the vices of the Roman times that even so-called culture boasted. No wonder the exclamation, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Thirty years of that unique life were spent here. There is also His contact with His own people, the Jews; well did He know their inconsistency of character, so startlingly revealed when one day they cried. "Hosannah, blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord,", and the next with equal vehemence, "Away with Him; crucify Him!" And then there is the irreligious attitude and activity of the great leaders of religion, Pharisee, Sadducee and scribe, whose envy and hatred hounded Him to death, to say nothing of the weak, halting and vacillating character of those called to be His disciples. , Such was the Master's world contact?His touch at different' points with the spirit and conditions of Hi3 age. This was what He saw; but was this all that He saw? For this surely no vision was needed and no man t need become a seer. 4 Beneath this flotsam and jet3am, this superficial aspect of the ehbing 5 and flowing tide of human life, down in the deeps, He saw with the true r seer's eye the wondrous possibilities, ' human and divine, of the essential , rtian, inherent in all humanity, which, if realized, would make man in a transcendent sense the child of God. Think you this was the result of observation? Say. rather, that obser. vation tended to confirm it. "He j knew what was in man," because He knew what was in Himself. Experience, personal, wherein He realized the possibilities of His own inner life, not miraculously, but naturally, and enabled Him to see that the true man is within, and if realized in actual life, would be glorious. Then, again, the love of Jesus is characterized not only by vision, which sees the best in man and his noblest possibilities, but also by faith i ?that intense life-gripping convicJion | which unfalteringlybelievesthat there ; p cau and shall be realized in the spirit J c t and life of personal experience by j t > man, so that He shall be their living j t [ expression. Will you say that His ; j own experience had nothing to do j t " with this faith? Then remember "He ' c wa3 tempted at all points like as we | ' are." He lcnew what the power of i l t sin was and He also knew that sin j i could overcome by the faith'and the i 3 love of God, and He overcame, a3 we i . must overcome. How else His atti- i tude toward the woman of sin at His * feet in the temple when the religion* \ ists accused, when He said to her, i nenit-emf- "Npifhpr rin T rrmrlamn t t thee." How else defend His story of i * ( the two sons, the one the prodigal and I the other worse than prodigal for ' mean and narrow selfflshness, who { c | stayed at home? Or how understand | 5 Hi3 potent, painstaking efforts to i - teach and train, to develop and to j ; give character to His very imperfect i t and ofttime3 sinning disciples? He ; , had a profound faith in the redemptive quality in man. . He believed with all the intensity of His being that man could become 1 the child of God. crowned with honor and glory. And once more He not only saw the vision beautiful, not only believed . that it could be realized in living hul man expression, but He utterly abanj doned Himself in sacrifice to its act. ual realization, "who for the joy set before Him endured the crost, despis* ing the shame." * Could that superficial aspect of hu* - manity which He saw and came into j * touch with in the sp'jit and condition . of His age, that crass superstition, I mat cruelty ana^ lecnery in nign r places as well asjlotv, that abandon- t ment to vice whicn gloried in it. that \ flaunting hypocrisy?could that in- 1 spire joy for the cross, the joy of self J [ sacrifice? c , The vision with its penetrating . glance into the deeps of life with their Wondrous possibilities, which angels might envy; the faith that believed, 5 yea. knew that all this could be actl ualized in the living experience and expression of spirit and character in r man, these and only these madti pos3i. ble the joyous abandonment of Jesus . Christ in the self sacrifice of love tc their certain realization. j And that cross of Jesus i3 more, far more, than those crossed pieces ol timber on Calvary. The cross was His j life and especially the brief years oi E s His ministry. E E j Then take that scene in the upper ^ I chamber. Jesus bathes the disciplcs' | feet? Yes, but notice. He bathes the feet of Judas! judas! yea, more, as He sits down He says, "He that oat* ' eth My bread lifted up his heel against 1 " Me." It would seem as though a f ) heart of stone would break. Yet there * ; sits Judas unmoved. Did Jesus de- a L sist? He speaks again, and He is . moving toward a climax in His reach- J . ing after the soul of this man.

Jesus Moves a 'rom Nazareth to Capernaum, 12-17. y 'he imprisonment of John led Jesus t o forsake Judea for Galilee (v. 12; E f. Mk. 1:14). It was an act of pru- c lence on His part. He also left His fe toyhood home, Nazareth, for busy t Japernaum by the seaside. His go- h ng to the borders of Zebulun and o Japhtall was a fulfillment of Old t 'estament prophecy (vs. 15, 16; cf. j s. .9:1, 2). Galilee had enjoyed no v uch privileges as Judea had. The p ieople had sat in darkness. The b ralileans were despised for their ig- o torance by the other Jews (cf. Jno. c :52). But now they were to see a n :reat light (v. 16). The Light of the t irorld was to live among them (Jno. :12). Hitherto they had "sat in the n egion and shadow of death," now d hey were to enjoy the Light of life, a looner or later God sends His light p o all people and those who enjoy the i eaBt privileges in one age will enjoy I he greatest in another. The time d lad now come for Jesus to begin His t ninistry of preaching. He began g vith the same message with which 6 fohn had begun, "Repent, for the c cingdom of God is at hand'' (cf. Matt, b t:2). The first'part of the cry was t he same as that of the Old Testa- t nent prophets (Is. 55:7; Jer. 3:22; b Szek. 14:6; 18:30; 33:9; Hos. 12:6; c L 4:1; Joel 2:12). The kingdom of t leaven was at hand because the King s iimself was at hand, and If the Jews s lad received Jesus He would have set fl ip the kingdom of heaven on earth hen and there. As He was rejected r md crucified, the outward establish- 3 nent of the kingdom was postponed. * n. "Come Ye After Mc, and I Will * lake You Pi9hers of Men," 18-22. Matthew tells us only of the call of a Jimon Peter and his brother Andrew. 1 juke tells us of how the Lord had J von their confidence by the miracu- r ous draft of fishes preceding the call ,'cf. Luke 5:2-9). Simon and An- 5 lrew were attending to their own jroper business when Jesus called s hem into His work (v. 18; cf. Ex. *j 1:1-4:5; I K. 19:19-21; Matt. 9:9). 5 Tesus called them into a work of the i lame character that they were aleady doing; hitherto they had been lshing for fish, now they were to fish ? or men. The ordinary fisherman b latches fish to kill and eat them, the ( Jospel fisherman catches men to f nake them alive and feed them. t fesus gave them the command, 2 'Come ye after Me," and the promise, a 'I will make you fishers of men." 3 Commandments and promises always ; ;o hand in hand in the teaching of t fesus. The day came when Jesus' r jromise to Peter was so wonderfully j ulfllled that Peter caught more men p it a single haul than he did fish on t his day (Acts 2:14-41).' Jesus says o every one of us, "Come ye after c >Ie, and I will make you fishers of j nen." The one great condition of f tuccess in fishing for men is "follow- | ng Jesus."

That there is now in business cirlies a firm and effectual conviction hat alcohol should play little or nc >art in .the relations between buyei ind seller is emphatically stated by i writer in the Journal of Commerce n an article contrasting with past :onditions the present refusal of the >ig wholesale houses to pay expense iccounts that only a few years ago vere passed an a matter of course, i'hen the out of town merchant in oost cases expected, when he camo o New York, to be taken in hand by .n agent or representative of the firm /hose goods he was going to buy and o be carried for several days and lights from one festive scene to anther, not all of which could have ?een explicitly described; even in hese tolerant days. Now the buyers iave come to the conclusion that the bligations thus incurred do not tend o facilitate the exerciBe of the best udgment in the selection of goods, rhile the salesmen have for the most art decided that even though "the iouBe" were willing to pay the cost >f drinks taken and given in the ourse of business, its checks could iot restore health shattered by sysematized conviviality.

He taught in their syn- ? igogues as long as they would per- * nit it. Tnat was wnere tne peopie gathered and that was where He vent. The word translated "Preach- ^ ng" means "heralding." He her- v ilded th* coming of the kingdom. 'Gospel" means "good new3," and r ;h*re is no better news than that the' j cingdom of God is to be established >n earth and that Jesus is to be the Xing. Jesus had a Gospel for the >ody as well as for the soul, and tolay the Gospel is for the body as well r is the soul (Rom. 8:11; Jas. 5:14, r L5). But Jesus' method of healing t vas as wide apart as the poles from .hat of the modern healer. There t vere no treatments and He never iharged for His healing. It was also ' ltterly different from the methods I >f the "Immanuel Movement." There 1 .roc Tirvfh?nir tViof omaftprl nf hvnnn. i ? ism or other forms of demonism.

Men will go hundreds of miles f o get in contact with a healer, but ! r vill not go a block to hear a teacher. s The popularity that came to Him by r lis healing was very distasteful to t mr Saviour (cf.

We must love our work, put our ' hearts into it, feel that we are doing ;> | our Father's will in it. Thus laboring we will find ioy and beauty and poetry and not drudgery in onr dally 'M task. The humblest life is glorified "\i Dy tne aivine purpose. We should look on the bright side. When our hearts droop It is because ..'s we .weigh our troubles, but do not put our blessings into the balance. We magnify crosses and overlook Joys that are not to be numbered. v&jj Home is the renewer of the care- ^ worn spirit. Every one should have \ or make a home, The power of do- ? mestlc love and confidence to cheer the jaded spirit is one of the rarest * treasures of the hearthstone. But above all religion Is the sweet f restorer of the soul. When courage sinks and spirits flag no power like faith in God can banish our weak- ^ ness. To realise, then, thiB living purpose in our lives and His presence , )fv instant at hand for our help is to meet every task with cheer and every dilemma with a stout heart. , v Instead, then, of sigbinjg for the .;Jj wings of a dove to fly to some shelter of rest let us face life's duties and cares with manly spirit and eagef ? .i ardor, and we, shall find in it out true calling, our place of usefulness, ' our school of growth, our present joy < and our future hope.?Junius B.

"I don't know how it is," said * a servant girl on her wayfco the Bible , M class;; "my temper is always getting . the better of me. Then my mistress ;'-.l scolds.

'-j "Another service over, and I haven't brought a single word away. I made such good resolves this morning when I said my prayers, but Kate's and" ij Mary's bonnets put them all to flight." "It seems as if the public house is v'ytf stronger than the Lor.d Himself," -iy> complained a man who rarely started ? n to his work without a sense of shame at having spent so much of his hard earned money overnight on beer. "The parson bids us aBk the Lord to 1 lead us past the door. I don't know i what He does for other folk; He J never did it yet for me. And it hasn't been for want of asking Him." "I luever meant to have wasted ' . such a long time gossiping," sighed a woman, "for what are Mrs. Brown's ; J affairs to me? It's my besetting sin; I know. I tnougnt or it; too, yester- -a day at church, when I Baid, 'Lead us not into temptation,' but now I'm ail A behind again." The girl who let those precious . - $ hours of the service slip had thought . .j of little else but dress and vanity the whole week through. What wonder, then, if new bonnets drove out of her L i? head the resolutions that she made upon her knees. ' The man who prayed that God ; V would lead him past th5 public house S never tried to help himself; and so ~ with the woman and her besetting: sin of gossiping. God has little help for those who do not strive against their sins as well as say their prayers. "If I regard iniquity in my heart," the Psalmist says?if I delight in It, that is to say?"the Lord will not hear me. (Psalm 66:18.)?Young People's Paper. Many Virtues. Manhood is not fully grown until it measures up to the religious life of Christ. All manly virtues should be illumined by religion; and religion should be interpreted in the language of manly virtues. True Faith. True faith in God such a* will al- \ ways help, grows out of knowing His character. It is built on the three < words, "God is love," and thus it is j a heart-faith, or love-faith. It is a *; faith that God will ever do what in accordance with love, and nothing contrary to it. It is a faith that as I God is love, so He will be toward you everything that love can mean ?pitiful, sympathetic and helpful. In return it trusts and does not worry, no matter what the circumstance* fore. ,j Made Him Unit Eating. ' & George W.
