POW HR or J is Growing [lilllie Chili: Y ur h vii lr The following interesting address was delivered hy Kev. I?. C. Heed, 1). I?., at tho annual meeting of tho York Bible Society ia the Yorkvillc Asso ciate ltcformcd Church on Sunday, March ll: I congratulate myself on thc privi lege of taking part with you in these exercises. Thc interests which have brought us together are common to all Christians and very dear t" every ear licit Christian heart. Wc cannot sec exactly alike in respect to thc teach ings of the Bible. Methodists cannot see in those teachings thc doctrine of predestination. Thc Baptists cannot see infant baptism. Thc Kpi.seopaliaus cannot sec thc prominence ascribed to the ruling (Mer. Thc Associate Be- ? formed brother cannot seethcauthori- I ty for singing hymns of merely human composition. Presbyterians may fail to see some things that others seo. But we can all sec in the Bible the great, thc infinite love of (?od ant' he boundless grace of Christ. We . in sec our unspeakable sinfulness nnd the precious blood that clcanscth from all sins. Beje'cing in these great dis coveries w ch are common to the faith of all. we forget the little differ ences that divide us, and with united hearts we lift to (Jod our tribute of praise for His gift of thc Bible. There arc two texts that weean read in con cert, and, as wc read, our hearts heat in perfect accord: "(Jud so loved the world,"' etc ''This is a faithful saying ami worthy id' all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into thc world to save sinners." This being FO, weean work together for a common end to pivo the Bible, without note or com ment, to toe whole world. We want the whole world to have it, because it is able to make all men wise unto ev erlasting life. Wc arc not afraid that it will make Methodists, or Bap tists, or Kpiscopalians out of them. We know that in every heart where it is received, it will cause thc man to hate sin, love <Jiod and trust Christ; it will make a Christian out of him. Then, if he should happen to join tho Meth odist Church, we can bid them Cod speed, knowing that he waa predestin ated thereunto, and that he will per severe in grace and bc saved neverthe less. It ia cause for thankfulness that wc have this work in which we can ?how to thc world our essential unity. "We are hero standing on the same platform and manifesting tho faot that, despite superficial diversities, we aro parts of ono great whole; that while divided into denominational camps, wc all aro soldiers of the same army, fighting under the same banner, and marching on to glorious viotory under the same 'Leader. I shall speak to you this evening on tho "Growinginfluence of tho Bible." Asa starting point, let us go back across many centuries to a scene which presents itself to our mind's eye. A young man, dressed in tho plain garb of a Jewish peasant, is seated on an elevation on thc cast of Jerusalem. Around him arc gathered an even dozen men dressed in similar fashion, showing that they are from thc same humble station of life. T.iey arc all sun-tanned and travel-stained. There is nothing in their appearance, past history or present position, to suggest that they were destined to ex ert any considerable influence on thc future thought and historyof thc world. Thc young man in the centre of thc group has just becu making a startling prediction in reference to the historic city which lies below them, to the ef fect that it would soon bc destroyed with an overthrow involving such sor row as had not been known since thc world began. There may have been a look of in credulity on tho faces of the men gath ered around him which lcd him to follow his prediction with the solemn affirmation, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." Whatever may have prompted thc affirmation, it is certain ly a most remarkable one in tho cir cumstances. Suppose some hostile Pharisee had been present, what afine opportunity for jest and derision: "Whatl young man, your works never pass away? What is to hinder? Who is te preservo them? All thc influen tial men of the nation aro against you, laying plans even now to rid them selves of your presence. Look at your following. A mere handful of illiter ate Galilean peasants. These could not, if they would, perpetuate your words." Thia would have been plau sibleskcpticism. The young man seem ed to be blowing his words into air, to bc dissipated into the eternal silence of space. Ile did not write them down, did not command his disciples towrito them down. But thc indisputable fact is that wc have his words. They have at/ any rate, lived nearly 1900 years. What is more, the prospect of their continuing to live is infinitely brighter rilli BIBLE. ncc on thc W"o'rl<"l".s cation. ICnuuir'r. now than when they were uttered. Then they were spoken into thc carn of a dozen men only; now they live in the hearts of hundreds of million?. What isyet more, every year finds them rooting themselves more .securely in the minds of men and extending more ami more widely the sway of their dominant power. Voltaire is reported to have said that he was tired 'd' hearing that 12 Galilean fishermen had established Christianity and that he was going to show that otp* Kreuch man was enough I to break it down, "lb- succeeded in j breaking down the French nation, but j he did not break down the Kingdom j (d' God." Tin- very hou-:o in Geneva in which his infidel books wen: writ ten, has het ti used in recent years as a depository ol'Bibles. Tom Paine pre dieted that in 100 years from his lime the Hilde would cease to be read. The hundred years have passed, and we put over against his prediction the fact that more Bibles have been pub lished and circulated since his death | than had ever been in thc world from the creation down to bis day. If all the Bibles that have been made and distributed since Paine's prediction were loaded in wagons. 2,000 to the wagon, and started in a procession across the continent-if 150 feet were allowed to each wagon- when the last one left thc city of New York, the front one would bc [,?>00 miles out in thc Pacific Ocean. In other words, it would require 170,001) wagons to trans: port these Bibles, making a procession nearly 0,000 miles long. It is stated on good authority thal in foreign mis sionary fields alone, more Bibles have been distributed during the past centu ry than were in the world from Moses to Martin Luther. All of which goes to show that Mr. Paine was a poor prophet. Other great changes have taken place during this same period, lip to thc war of thc American Revolution, thc cheapest Bible on the market cost ?2. Now thc whole Bible, printed in good type aud on good paper, and fairly well bound, can bc bought for 25 cents, and thc New Testament for & nickel. Thc Bible has become one of thc cheapest books in thc world. It was 10 years after Tom Paine wrote his "Age of Reason," that the British and Foreign Bible Society was organ ized, which was in 1804. A few years subsequently, several State societies were organized in this country, and these were merged, as auxiliaries, into the American Bible Society in 1816. In thc 06 years of its existence, the British and Foreign Society has pub lished and circulated 160,Q??,??? cop ies of thc Scripture and parts therof. Thc American Society has printed and distributed 05,000,000. Other Bible societies have added to these numbers about 50,000,000, making a grand ag gregate of work done by all societies 275,000,000. Then, in addition to all this there has been scores of millions of Bibles printed and circulated through the regular channels of trade by private enterprises. Dr. James Dennis estimates that the whole num ber of Bibles scattered throughout the world during the century that is now closing, amounts to 1550,000,000. These facts may bc taken as further evidence that Tom Paine was a poor prophet. It may be well to call special atten tion to the seale on which thc two creat societies carry on their work. The annual issues from the press of the American Bible Society is nearly 1,500,000. The issues of the British and Foreign Society, is more than dou ble this number. Thc two together send out annually about 4,500.000. This t means about 11,000 for every working day of the week-000 every hour, 10 every minute, day aud night. Thus ibero, is issuing from these two sources a perennial stream of the Wa ter of Life, and this stream is becom ing broader and deeper and swifter all the while. When we wake and when we sleep the stream flows on, carrying life and verdure further and further into the arid deserts of our sin-smitten earth. Silence every preacher, close every church-only leave these two mighty agencies untouched-and the words of Christ would nover pass away. They travel as far as thc seas and oceans spread. They would board every vessel of commerce, throng ev ery avenue of trade, penetrate jungles and cross deserts, find their way into thc mansions of thc rich and tho cab ins of the poor, and wherever there was an car to hear or a heart to feel, they would lind a home and kindlo a hope. Another phase of the work of these two great societies is worthy of notice. It is that of Bible translation. When Tom Paino made his remarkable pre diction , the Bible had been printed in only 47 different languages and dia lects. With4r.ie opening of this cen tury there was a rapid expansion or mi?*io:ury work. Th-- hold ici s :>f the I eros.i hu yo heidi j>?s1iiri)5 their con- | quests into every land and addi nt; now : peoples to the ever-widening domain of their Kin-,'. With every fresh con quest came a fre^h demand for the translation of the Scriptures. These societies have tried to meet these de mands, and as a result, the words of Christ may now he read in 1120 differ ent lauguages. They have been put within reach of 500,000,000 more heathen now than could bc reached by them at thc beginning of the cen tury. An interesting feature of this part of the work is the fact that many lan guages have been reduced to writing for the purpose of making them thc depositors of Christ's words. "This book it is," to quote the language of Henry Hogers, "that lirst conferred on many barbarous nations thc won derous art of condensing thc volatile vapor of thought with visible form, I taught them the lirst elements of those arts that are the necessary conditions of all progress ami civilization, and opened the way that leads ?>n to all the triumphs of human intellect and national greatness. Certainly any hook that has thus of much vital pow er in it that it can unbar the gate that has been shut for centuries in the face of a barbarous people, lead them out of darkness into light and liberty, and then quicken their joyous footsteps on the road to glory and greatness, will 'not likely pass away. As further illustration ol' our theme it must he noted that the Bible has won its commanding position in the face of lierce and persistent opposi tion. The opposition of individuals like Voltaire and l'aine and Ingersoll has been as nothing compared with the organized opposition ol' mighty gov ernments which, from time to time has been arrayed against it. In the early days of thc Kornau IO tupi rc, when as yet Christianity was au unlawful religion, Diocletian set himself with deliberate purpose to destroy thc Word of Cod. lie issued an edict, which was published in every prov io je of his far-reaching dominions, de manding that every copy of tho Scrip tures should he given up, find tin penalty of refusal was death. Th( I Christians numbered only one-twclftb I of the population. Diocletian had al ! thc armed power of the empire at his I command, and ho called into play all thc terrible instruments of terror anc torture that could bc devised. Bul when Diocletian abdicated tho thron? thc task of exterminating the Bibi? had not been accomplished. It wa: taken up cargerly and earnestly by hil successor, thc cruel Galerius. He hat no pity in his heart for the Chris ti an s. By his orders, they were hunj up by their heels and fires built unde them. Their cars were cut off am their eyes were thrust out. Molter lead was pouted over their bodies, am when life was cxtioot burial was de nied to their jaanglcd forms and the; were left e; posed to be devoured b; vultures aol dogs. While thousand who loved the Bible perished, th Bible Hvec on: and not only so, i grew i.j strength and had practicall conquered the empire by the time Ga lerius died. Another striking illustration is fur nished in thc history of Madagascar In 1820, thc inhabitants of that i s lan were heathen. They had no literature no books, not even an alphabet English missionaries entered the it land. They invented an alphabet an reduced thc languages to written fora Printing presses wCresent over by th Bondon Missionary Society. In 183 thc New Testament was translated an published in thc native language. Th nest year 20 converts were baptized the first fruits of ll ycar3 of toi Only four years later, persecutio arose. It raged for 2."? years, pitiless ly, relentlessly. The missionaric were banished. A decree was issue threatening death to any who wei found reading thc Bible, offering praj crs to God or receiving thc rite t baptism. During the terrible reign t blood it is estimated that 10,000 pei sons were subjected to various peua tics including torture and death. Til Bibles were hidden in the earth an read by stealth. What was the resu of this fanatical effort to extermina! the Word of God? At the beginnin of tho persecution, there were onl 200 Christians. At its close thei were 1.000. During " the desperat conflict thc Bible was left to figl alone No European preacher < teacher was permitted to enter the i land. Under the blessing of God, tl Bible alone won the victory ?nd to-di Madagascar is reckoned among Chri tian nations. Well might tho rugged Carlisle ss there never ?vas a book like the Bib and there never will be such auothe It has held on its way down tho ce furies, gathered power with the pas ing years, coming off victor over eve cnomy that has ventured to contest i progress. As wo stand to-day on tl lofty heights of tho closing years this, thc greatest of thc centuries, ai cast our eyes over the world, we seo swaying its benignant sceptre over tl hearts of all of earth's mightiest n tions ( Other men have writton wor that thc world will not willingly 1 die Only thc Mau of Galileo h spoken wot da which tito world cann let die. Win thor thc world is willing or not, lin. words will live pp. They eau nevi r pa?s becauseJesus breathed into them tl." .-><ni of truth, and .'Truth crushed to earth will rise again, Thc eternal years nf (jod tire hers.'' The ancient enemies of this blessed Honk are silent in thc dust, and their tombs have been lost amidst the rub bish of time. More recent enemies are also sleeping in thc dust and their names are fast fading from the memo ries of men; but the Hook lives on, in ever-growing vigor, "as time chronicles her tens of centuries passed by." What is our duty to this Hook? Of course, it is our duty to love it, and t > trust it. Hut it is also our duty, a most solemn and imperative duty, to give it wings that it may fly to the ut termost parts of tl e earth. From the facts and figures given, one might get the impression that the work for which thc American Bible Society was established has been pret ty well accomplished. Hut let us re member that while the Bible lives, Hildes perish. These many millions are not all in existence. If the Bibles that are now in thc world were uni formly distributed, allowing no man more than one, perhaps for every hand that held a Bible, there would be ten empty ones. Thc work then is not done, and the facts cited should only cheer us on to redoubled effort. Let us give this grand work our loyal sup port and pray (Jod to hasten thc prom ised day when thc knowledge of the Lord shall cover thc earth as the wa ters cover the sea. mu- -mr- -mm Hot Water Mentedles. Hot water is so simple a remedy, and so easily obtained that its valu?is not half appreciated. It is one of tho best restorers of nervous energy, it rests the weary, and it relieves pain, not only as an outward application, but as a remedy to be taken internal ly. A suddeu aud wearing attack of coughing often needs immediate atten tion, especially in consumptives, and those chronically ill. In au emergen cy, that ever useful remedy will often prove effective. It is much better than the ordinary cough mixtures, which disorder thc digestion and spoil the appetite. Water, almost boiling, should be sipped whee the paroxysms comes on. A cough, resulting from irritation, is relieved by hot water through the promotion of secretion, which moistens the irritated surfaces. For the trying cough, hot water is also excellent, as it promotes expectoration and brings relief. When one has a sudden attaok of indigestion it is a good plan to take a cup of hot water as nearly boiling as can bo horne. Persons suffering dys pepsia will find a relief by drinking a cup of hot water on rising in the morning. When one comes home at night after a fatiguing day, nothing is more rest ful than bathing the hoad and back of the neek with a towel wrung out of water as hot as can be borne. It soothes the nerves and rests body and braip. The same treatment relieves a 'nervous headaohe as nothing else does. When one is overheated and there is a rush of blood to the head, a hot towel applied to the face and head is a great relief. In the heat of summer this same hot towel refreshes and oools the skin, andgives it a feeling of lightness and comfort that cold water never gives. _ _ Free Blood Cure-An Offer Proving Faith to Suffers.

Whatever difference of opinion there may bc upon thc advisability of smok ing for men, there is none as to its pernicious effect upon boys. It af fects the action of the heart and re duces the capacity of the lungs. Young men who are being trained for athletics aro not permitted to smoke by their traiucrs because, they say, "it is bad for thc wind." The argument that will appeal most forcibly to your hoy is that smoking will stunt growth. It has been proved that youthful smokers arc shorter and weigh less thau their comrades who do not smoke. Cigarettes are particularly injurious. Nicotine, the active principle of tobac co, is said by chemists to bc, next to prussic acid, the most rapidly fatal poison known.
