It Was Issued In England In Queen Elizabeth's Reign. The first directory dates from 1595, Queen Elizabeth's reign. A copy of it is in the British museum, entitled "The Names of All Such Gentlemen of Accompts as Were Residing Within the City of London." The next does not seem to have ap peared for nearly a hundred years. It was called "A Collection of the Names of Merchants Living In and About the City of London." This was printed for Lee, Lombard street, in 1677. The names were arranged alphabetically, 1,790 in number. In a separate list were the names of no fewer than for ty-four bankers under this heading, "Goldsmiths who keeprunning cashes," twenty-three of them being then in Lombard street This book contains the name of the father of Pope, the poet The first directory, expressly so call ed, was compiled by Brown in 1732, who soon issued it annually and real ized through it a large fortune. The earliest postoffice directory appeared In 1800, and Successive volumes have been brought out yearly ever since. London Telegraph. THE CURFEW BELL. Orighnly Rung Morning and Even ing to Give the Time of Day. The story of the curfew was but the unsupported assertion of one historian of the sixteenth century, which was repeated in prose and poetry till it was woven into the langnage. Like many other legends, there Is just a grain of truth in it, but Its suggested origin is false, the derivation of curfew is erro neous, and- the scutte shaped instru ments which supported the theory were quite different articles of house hold use. Probably .the word is derived not from couvre feu, cover fire, but from carrefodr, in old French spelling car fou, from the Latin for crossroads, and is the name of the morning and even Ing bell, which originally sounded from the crossroads or market places both in France and England simply to give the time of day. It was and is rung at 4 or 6 o'clock in the morning and at 8 o'clock in the evening. One inscription on an old bell runs thus: I am called ye Curfue bell. t I ringen at VIII or more, To eud ye alle to bedde, .And wake ye up at IV. -Pearson's Weekly DEEP SEA LEVEL. Its.Changes -mustrated In the Case' of the Mediterranean. Changes in the level of the. sea are well shown in the case of the Meditar raInean. Mt. Ph. Negris in a brochure presented to the Academy of Science furnishes Interesting information on this point, it being apparent that the sea has greatly increased in depth as compared to ancient times. Formerly a bridge 3,000 feet long united Lducate to the continent. Today It is sub merged, but the 'foundations of the work were discovered eleven feet be neath the surface. It may therefore be concluded that since the construc tion of the bridge the sea has risen at this- point over nine feet. In the bay of Amphissa, Greece, there has been observed a mole tha-t IS over nine feet beneath the surface. :At Rhenee there has been found a comn plitely submerged dock,, evidently of Roman construction, the depth of the sea above the dock at places being' fully nine feet Fr'om all of these facts one may con elude that there has taken place an im portant fiecrease in the depth of the sea since th' Roman pegriod, the Medi terranean having riken at least nine feet in about 2,000 yeans. \Ground That Buros.

LESSON Vill, FOURTH QUARTER, IN TERNATIONAL SERIES, NOV. 20. Text of the Lesson, -Isa. 1, 1-9, 16-20. Memory Verses, 18-20-Golden Text, Isa. 1, 16, 17-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. 3. Stearns. ECopyright, 19W, by American Pres Assocation.] Our lesson is called "Isaiah's Message to Judah," which is all right as to the last two words, for it is indeed a mes sage to Judah and not to all Israel, and it is a message to Judah and not to the church. This is the primary truth, but we must not forget that there are les sons here for all believers at all times. But, then, we must notice that It is not Tsainh's message, but the message of the Lord through His servant Isaiah. "Hear, 0 heavens, and give ear, 0 earth, for the Lord bath spoken!" (Verse 2.) This is the truth to be emphasIzed. "The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken" (Ps. 1, 1). God.bath, spoken un to us by His Son (Heb. 1, 1, 2). This is the great fact of the Bible, and surely it becomes His creatures-to hear, but that is the very thing they refuse to-do, as He says, "I have nourished and brought up children, and they'have re belled against me" (verse'2). He-says that the dumb brutes-such as the ox and the ass have more regard for their owners than His people-have for Him. In Jer. viii, 7, He says that the birds seem to have moreintelligence than His people. When on.eartiin the days of His humiliation, as He-wept over Jerusalem He said, "If thou hadst known the things which belong to-thy peace, but now they are bid from. thine eyes" (Luke xix, 41, 42). '".hey have forsaken the Lord, they havemprovoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger,,they are gone away backward" (verse4),bwas true of them in the days of Isainhand Jeremiah and also when our Lordwas on earth, for He had to call:them.hypo crites and a generation of vipers, and nnally to tell them that their house would be desolate till His return.(Matt. xxiii). Our lesson says that individually,and nationally they were sick and unsound from head to foot, their contry deso late and overthrown by strangers,;and that but for a very small. remnant, of godly ones in their midst-tey.woulbe like Sodom and Gomorrah. Then He calls them Sodom and Gomorrah and says that He cannot tolerat.their-sac rifices and their-feasts; that-they-weary Mlm with them (verses 11-15). From this and similar language elsewherein the prophets some have boldly amcnnd that the Lord never instituted.sacf W, but such do not know what -they say, hor do they understand Gen. III, 21, the ftrst of all sacrifices and by the 1inds of the Lord Hmself. When He was on earth in .humnan: form the feasts of the Lord -whkhe had ordained had become mere -1fest of the Jews, all form -and ceremony.to be seen of men (Matt. vi, 1-18;- xiii, 1-8). This sort of thing He-haisoa, as much as He did then, for Hevde sires worship only from such- as wor ship Him in spirit and In truth- See John iv, 23, 24. It may not be-for-us-to judge, but a very little considen+Dnn will lead one to think it possible -that there may be In the church to'day a very similar state of affairs to that4e scribed by the Spirit through Tsalnh. All we need say is that -whatever Ifthe form of worship is not from-a redeemed soul in-the power of the Spirit and in the name of the Lord Jesus cannot be worship at all. The precious-blood of Christ. the great sacrifice, Is the--only. foundation, the Holy Spirit- the only power and the word of God -the -only. reveation by which we can know-God ad-worship Hm. He who would worship-God ninustt be clean; hence "Wash yousmake you clen" (verse 16), and how-thriSds-to-be dae splainly set-forth both lniGenes1B ndeelationiandall thewat nh NotlIzg can cleanse from sin -but the blood. "The Jife of the flestr-la ln-'the blood,and I have given it to you upon the aar to make an ainemuent for yourweaoi, for it is the bloodttnak eth an atonement for the. soul" (Ler. Ixvii, 11). The doings of- verses 16-and 17 follow'the cleansing. There can be no acceptable-dning till we are cleansed, for "they that are in the flesh cnnot please God" (Romn. viii, 8). How, then, Is the cleansing accom plished? God must- do it. When will He do it? Come, now; how thoroughly will He do It! The sins as scarlet shall wooi, for the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin, so that it Is re membered no more. "I, even I, am -He that blotteth out thy transgressions for My own sake and will not remem ber thy sins" (Isa. xliii, 25). The vani ty of all our efforts to cleanse ourselves is set forth In Jer. I1,'22, but God does it Instantly and thoroughly. Then fol lows the secret of all acceptable service, fr where there is a redeemed soul who Is-willing and obedient God will work In that one both to will and to- do of HI~g good pleasure (Phil. Ii, 13), and snh an one can know the power and enfort of these words, "Lord, Thou wi ordain peace for us, for Thou also hs'-wrought all our works in us." "SrIng according to His working, 'whicaworketh In me mightily." "Work ng lntyou that weich is well plasing n istsight"' (Isa. xxvi, :12; CoL 1, 29; Al. reblsilng against- God's will and ~God'swayi (and there is-a lot of It on thepartof'His people) only causes sor row toehmselves and brings no glory to God, but compels Him to chasten them for'their good. It is the privilege of every child of God to- enjoy perfect peace and~to bear much fruit-to-the glo ry of God,.but it can onlybe in and by a wiling- and obedient people, for the outh of 'the Lord hath spoken It, and Mis word js forever settled In heaven 'rse 20; Ps.- crix, 89).
