The text is Proverbs xxx, 27, "The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands.” The more I study the Bible in con nection with the revelations which science has given to us in the natural world the more wonderful and marvel ous the omnipotence and omnipresence of God apjiear to me. There are some people who never study the goodness and mercy of God outside of the leaves of the holy l«>ok. When you begin to talk to them about the wonders of God in nature, they reply, ‘‘Why don’t you preach the old gospel instead of talk ing about tadpoles and snakes and bugs and beetles and such stuff?” The reason I talk so much about nature, my friend, is l>ecause I find the char acter of God revealed there and the gospel preached there, and I am sus tained by the example of the Bible It self, which is full of such sermonlc themes. I have also the authority of the wisest of men. who bids us watch the conies building their houses in the rocks, and the ants providing food for the winter's storm, and the spider swinging her silken hammocks in the king’s palaces, and the locusts march ing forth to their conquests in great bands. It is amazing how much our love and reverence for God will grow if wo only study closely the marvelous conforma tions an ! habits of the lowest and most despi.-n 1 of his creatures. If we do not see God in the natural world, then it is have eyes that are blind, nit time we scattered the rnoranee by letting in the • ' r di m and study. When • entered oue of Professor Agassiz's da • •the great teacher of natural science nmild place before bin: the skeleton of n ordinary fish like the black bass. "Si dy that,” would be his first command, "and then come and tell me what you see.” The student in amazement would sit down and look at tiiose dried bones for a little while, and then he would go to the professor's desk and say: “Why, teacher, I see the skeleton of a fish. That is all.” Then the professor would show him how the fish's skeleton is joined together by one big backbone, like the skeleton of man: how the fish’s tail and his tins are used by the fish as man’s hands and feet are used when he swims; how the fish has a series of spines above and be neath it to keep it in a perpendicular position, so it can cut its way through the water. The professor would point out that the head of tin* fish is made of strong Iwny substance, like the iron prow of a boat. There the strength of the fish must lie very great. Thus the new student learned how the bones were fitted together and how the jaws were set for catching the prey. After he had spoken thus for a long time Professor Agassiz would say: "My son, never say again that a bone is simply a bone. When you study a bone, you must notice how it joins with other bones and learn what is the purpose of that hone. Now you are ready to be gin your scientific studies as one of my students.” Thus, in my text, Solomon bids us study the locust, that marvel ous little insect whose ravages are the dread of the farmer. He would have us observe how it Is constructed, how It is adapted lor the work it lias to do and how it co-operateg with its fellows, like u soldier in an army. This open lug spring season is an appropriate time for following Solomon’s advice and considering "the locusts, who have no king, but who go forth in bands.” The Helpless Locust. In the first place, when I began to study the little creature of my text I was surprised to find out what an In significant insect it was Individually. God seems to have given it no means of self protection. It has no rapier with which to stab like the hornet, no sting like the bee, no cruel beak like the hawl£, no deadly claw like the tiger, no deadly poison like the taran tula or the snake, no viselike jaw, as has the alligator, and no powerful wing like the wing of the albatross. It is so helpless as an Individual that the smallest kind of Insects can attack it with impunity. It is the prey of in numerable destroyers. Wherever the swarms of locusts go, there fly great flocks of greedy birds feeding upon them. When the locusts are in the egg or the larvae state, they are destroyed by the millions, yet these seemingly helpless Insects have been the most feared of all the Insects of the worjd. No plague of Egypt struck tpore terror to the hearts of Pharaoh anA big sub jects than this plague of clavrotis, beak less, poison less, stingless locusts, but when this thought dawned upon me I said, ‘‘Is it not a fact that the men and the women, in this world who have ac complished most for God have carried no antlers, whose jaws concealed no poisonous fang, whose tongue never gave a rapier thrust and whose hand was never the murderous claw of the wild beast?” But there Is another fact to which I want to draw your attention in refer ence to these insignificant Insects. They are insignificant as to the strength of their bodies. It seems as though the span of their life le as a breath. Hardly are they hatched and their wings grown than, like a moth ffylug about In a candlelight, their lives seem to be snuffed out in a day, and yet the brevity of the locust’s life does not startle me, for I find that some of the greatest men have been the shortest lived men. Soon after Percy Shelley was drown ed In the bay of Spezia his widow, Mary Shelloy. wrote these beautiful words: "Shelley, my beloved, this year has a new name from any thou kuow- est. When spring arrives, leaves that you never saw will shadow' the ground, and flowers you never beheld will star it, and the grass will be of another growth. Thy name is added to the list which makf's the eartli bold in her age and proud of what has been.” But, though Percy Shelley climbed to the highest pinnacle of fame, like John Keats, and Arthur Henry Hailam, and Raphael, and Robertson, and Alexan der, and hosts of others of the world’s greatest leaders, he died before middle life had been reached. You cannot Judge a man’s usefiiln<*ss by the nu merical list of his earthly days. Some of the world’s greatest benefactors have l>een men who died before the silver hair was fringing their fore heads or before their youth had waned. Brevity of Life. But the insignificance of the locust’s Intellect is even more startling than the brevity of its physical life. These locusts seem to be like the camels among the beasts and like the turkeys among the birds. They seem to be the stupidest of all insects. They seem to have no law' of organization. They seem to have no skill in hive building, like the ant. They.do not have the genius of the bee or the ingenuity of the beaver building his dam or the fox or the spider or the sw'allow’. Dr. Hen ry McCook, the great authority on the ant and the spider, tells us that for hours he has lain down by an ant hive to study the wonderful intelligence of these insects. But the locust does not have the intelligence of an ant. Like tlie tortoise, which lias been known to live and to walk for six months after its brain has been extracted, the locust seems to have hut little intelligence, but this little intelligence used in a cer tain way lias made its approach the terror of the beasts of the fields, the birds of the air and of man in his for tified castle. Now', after we have studied the Insig nificance of the locust as an individual let us try to ascertain wherein lies the strength of his power. In the first place, the greatest strength of the lo- eust lies not in her individual self, but in her fertility or the numbers of her descendants. It has been mathematic ally calculated that if the unrestricted increase of a common pair of gypsy moths were allowed by nature to grow’ in eight years there would be alive enough of their caterpillars to destroy the entire vegetation of the United States. But even these caterpillars of the gypsy moth are not so numerous as those of the common locust. Earth Alive With Them. In 1845 a considerable number of these insects visited the Lebanon re gion in Syria and remained there only a few days. Just long enough to de posit their eggs and then disappear. In about six months those eggs were hatched. A short time afterward those small locusts started up the.mountain sides. The whole earth seemed to be alive with them. From one hatching there seemed to be inilli >ns and bil lions of them. They rolled on like the movements of an augmented river. Then, when the reader realizes that this multitude of locusts was but the result of one hatching and that the same swarms of locusts not only de posited their eggs once, but many times during a year, he can to some extent realize the prolific and formi dable power of these dreaded pests. Each female locust is supposed to lay about eighty eggs at a time. Nearly all their eggs are fertile. Thus it Is possible for a female locust to have thousands and tens of thousands of descendants in a single year. This amazing power of multiplication stag gers the Imagination, but it is only the rapidity of it that makes it so wonder ful. The Increase from year to year In the world’s human population is as won derful Man la here exerting his In fluence on his generation. What will be his influence in the next generation through his children? We do not re alize the past so clearly looking for ward as we do looking backward. You had two parents. You had four grand parents and eight great-grandparents. You had sixteen great-great-grandpar ents and thirty-tw’o great-great-great- graudpureuts. And if you trace your ancestors back to the time of William the Conqueror, or about bOO years, you had 800,000 different ancestors. And of all your ancestors there is not one whose Influence Is not being felt to greater or less extent in your life to day. Let me illustrate this fact iu another way even more startling. Wil liam Bradford of Plymouth colony died in 1657, or about 25o years ago. William Bradford had only three chil dren, who lived to grow up and be married and have children of their own. Their names were William, Mary and Joseph. And yet there are living today in America over 5,000 di rect descendants of William Bradford. Oh, do not tell me that my greatest gospel work Is now In my children’s lives! I tell thee If I can win them for God, and they. In turn, will win their children for God, within a few generations I will influence for God directly or Indirectly more people than are today living In the state of Cali fornia. There never was a truer state ment made than ‘The hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world." Not Hermits. But there is another fact to which I want to call your attention besides the fecundity of the locusts. It is to tbsir gregarious habits. Thsss seemingly In- Mgniflcant insects art not hermits. They do not live alone or travel alone. They bury tlieir eggs side by side. The young are hatched out together. They live together. They feed together. They travel together. And as a result they are not only feared on account of their numbers, but they are especially feared because these swarms of mov ing loc usts can never be split up and separated from each other. ' Solomon, the inspired naturalist, wrote that, though the locusts have no king, they go forth in bands. If the locusts did not associate together in such great numbers, the damage they might in flict would not be seriously felt. It would be here a little and there a little. But when they unitedly move along and attack a garden or a valley or a forest they literally kill and devour everything in sight. Why cannot the Christian reformers of this world learn a mighty lesson today from the gre garious insignificant locusts? The forces of evil make no such mis take as do the children of God. The saloon never fights the saloon as the church fights the church. There are enough advocates of temperance re form In the church today to sweep the wine sellers out of existence. What then is the trouble? One-half of those temperance advocates belong to one political party and half to another, and thus their influence at the ballot box is absolutely nullified. There are enough Christians today iu the land to purify every city, morally as well as spiritually. But what is the difficulty? The church of one denomination will try to undermine the church of another denomination, and thare is a common tendency to place sectarian creed high er than tlie gospel of the cross. The church members act just as though one half of a locust’s swarm were to go to .work and fight the other half of the swarm until they exterminated each other while the rich harvest fields were lying near at hand, full with ripened grain, ready to satisfy even their rapacious hunger. Oh, that today the Christian men, the disciples of Je sus, could drop all their personal dif ferences and work side by side for tlie glory and the eternal triumph of Jesus Christ! A Unit For Christ. What makes England the greatest factor of tlie world in international IKilitics? It is this: The English peo ple always act as a unit iu a foreign movement. Though British subjects may have tlieir home differences, -’s the members of a family criticise each other at their own firesides, yet when it comes to a foreign policy the world knows that all Britishers will stand shoulder to shoulder to support their king, no matter what their personal differences may lie, even as the locusts in unison will swarm to attack a dense forest May all the disciples of Christ learn to act as a unit for Christ! The most impressive power is the cumula tive influence of overwhelming num bers. Internal differences mean fric tion. Friction brings exhaustion. Ex haustion is the forerunner of death. All that Satan wants is to have one half of the good Christian men of the world fight the other half of the good men of the world for the glory of God, and then there will be no need for Sa tan to wage a battle. But there is one more thought that I have about the insignificant insects of my text, and then 1 am done. After the locusts have once taken up the line of march or of flight they can nev er be beaded away from their straight course. When iu a midnight tempest the great herd of cattle upon a west ern prairie take fright and, mad with bitter fear, stampede, the cowboy may ride to the head of the herd and turn the leaders and get them moving In a circle, hut the locusts iu their flight can never be beaded off from moving in a straight line. Fires may be built, ditches may lie dug, but they will march on or fly on until with their dead bodies they smother out the flames and fill up the ditches. Then over the corpses of their dead com rades the rest of the swarm will keep steadily on in their course. Even tlie sea itself cannot stop them In their onward progress. Dr. W. H. Thomson in his book called “Brain and Personality” records this wonderful fact: “While I was sojourning In Syria I heard that the whole country round Mount Lebanon was dismayed by the news that a vast army of marching lo custs was coming from the eastern desert. The governor of the district ordered out a regiment of soldiers to aid the people to construct a great rampart of brushes to lie set on fire as the locusts came up to It, hoping thus to save the gardens of Beirut. When they raked the prepared heaps of brush and these were set on fire, the locusts marched on without pausing until in a brief time they put the fires entirely out. As the sea was not far off, everybody hoped that they would take to surf bathing. When the van guard reached the waves, like all true, good locusts, in they hopped till the billows seemed to roll only grasshop pers. Nor did the scene end until the last of the rear guard, faithful to the great law of his being, had skipped over the beads of bis dead comrades to make bis last leap Into the blue wa ters of the Mediterranean." Ob, that we might all have the perseverance of the locusts! After God has once map ped out our line of march may we go on and on, no matter whether we live or die; may we still move on and on! Concert of Action. The trouble with most of our reli gious lives Is that we do not act in con cert. That is the first dlfllculty. The second Is even more disastrous. We do not fight continuously and unrelent ingly for the right. Our gospel move ments for the most part are spasmodic. We are like a frisky colt trying to draw a load. We make a plunge now; we make a plunge again. Bat we not •lowly and surely tighten the trace* and then keep steadily on pulling In the straight line. When the loco* once maps out his line of march, he never swerves one inch from tlie straight line. So may we first find out what our straight Hue of duty is, then slowly, surely and unswervingly g» ahead, foeing that line, no matter what may happen to us personally. Let us do for God what the locust does in Hv ing up to his small intelligence. And cannot we afford to follow the leadings of our God? Will he not di- reet us aright and care for us? Is not his power infinite? Cannot lie triumph over even the power of the destroying locusts? Some years ago the harvests vt one of our large western states wore shout to be destroyed by the annual visitation of this awful loeust scourge. Year after year these locusts had come and deposited their eggs, and it seem ed each year as though the farmer must desert Ids fields or starve. At that time there sat a Christian gentle man in the gubernatorial chair. lie saw the almost certain financial de struction which was threatening his people. So he sent forth a proclama tion that all Christians should gather iu the different churches on a certain day and pray that God would save them, for they were helpless before the locust plague. The day came. The whole state was in prayer. The procla mation was sent forth in the spring of the year. Now, what was the result of that day of fasting and prayer? For a few days after the day of prayer tlie sun shone warm and bright. It was as hot a sun as that felt dur ing any July harvest. The locust eggs were hatched out by the billions and trillions. The very dust of the road seemed to be alive with moving life. Then God placed his hand over the sun. A blizzard came whistling down from the far north. The biting cold made it necessary to start a fire In ev ery stove. Within twenty-four hours the prayers of the pleading Christians were answered. The locusts were frozen to death. Man may stand help less before an army of advancing, de stroying locusts, but God’s power is infinite. God’s power is above every other power, even that of the locust. [Copyrlpht. 1907. by Louis Klopsch.] He Knows Our Men. “Paul Bourget, tlie French novelist,” said a magazine editor, “thinks he un derstands American women. He is con tinually writing essays about them. Were I a woman the e essays would make me mad. But Bourget does un derstand American men pretty well. Once at a dinner that Richard Harding Davis gave in his honor Bourget hand ed to our men a singularly large and acrid lemon. He said that we are too lax and boorish toward our wives. He said we often treated a pretty yellow haired typewriter gill hired yesterday with more gentleness and courtesy than we gave to wives of twenty or thirty years’ standing. He Instanced the case of a man who sat reading the evening paper one night, a cigar in his mouth and his feet on tlie sofa. “ ‘Darling,’ said his wife, ‘do you love me?’ “ ‘Yes,’ he answered without looking up. “ ‘As much as ever?’ “‘Sure,’ said the man as he struck a match and relighted his cigar. “‘Why?’ tlie woman pursued tender ly. “ ‘Oh, I don’t know.’ said he. ‘Habit, I suppose.’ ’’—Exchange. Ups and Downs of Geronimo. There are many men in the west who would dearly love to have a pot shot at Geronimo, men whose kinsfolk died in torture.in the light of tlieir blazing homes some thirty odd years ago. And it was impossible for the thousands who have seen him in recent years at St. Louis or Buffalo or with a “wild west” show to realize these facts, us collected by the Society of Pioneers of Arizona: “Seventy-six white men, women and children were killed by Geronimo in his last raid. It is said that in the years 1869 and 1870 176 persons were murdered by bis band of Apaches, and, according to a record kept by Herman Ehrenberger. a civil and mining engi neer, 425 persons, at that time one-half the American population of Arizona, fell victims to the scalping knives of Geronimo’s braves between 1856 and 1862.” Now his talents are turned toward making money by selling bows and ar rows and posing for artists. — Outing Magazine. Kipling at a Luncheon. At a tea the other day, says the New York Sun, a woman heard the follow ing remarks made about her favorite author. She turned to listen, amazed by the eccentricities of conduct nar rated. ‘‘Yes, you kuow,” the hostess was saying. “Kipling came In and behaved so strangely! At luncheon he sudden ly sprang up and wouldn’t let the wait ress come near the table. Every time that she tried to come near he would jump at her. “He made a dive for the cake, which was on the lower shelf of the side board, and took it Into the parlor to eat it. He got the crumbs all over the sofa and the beautiful rug. “When he had finished his cake he simply sat and glared at us.” The visitor finally could not control herself and asked, “Excuse me, but are you speaking of Rudyard Kipling?” “Rudyard Kipling?” echoed the host ess. “Oh, no; Kipling is our dog!” The Story of a Medicine. Its name—“Golden Midical Discovery* was suggested by one of its most import ant and valuable ingrodients — Golden Seal root. Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis covered that he could, by the use of pure, triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, ex tract from our most valuable native me dicinal roots their curative proi*erties much better than by the use of alcohol, so generally employed. So the now world- famed “Golden Medical Discovery,” for the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and ki idred derangements was first made, as it ever since has l»een. without a particle of alcohol in its make-up. A glance at the full list of its ingredi ents. printed on every bottle-wrapper, will show that it is made from the most valuable medicinal roots found growing in our American forests. All these in- § redients have received the strongest en- orsement from the leading medical ex perts. teachers and writers on Materia Median who recommend them as the very best remedies for the diseases for whien "Golden Medical Discovery ” is advised. A little book of these endorsements has been compiled by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.. arid will be mailed "free to any one asking seme by postal card, or letter addressed to the Doctor as above. From these endorsements, copied from standard medical books of all the differ ent schools of practice, it will lie found that the ingrf*dients composing the "Gold en Medical Discovery ” are advised not only for the cure of the above mentioned diseases, but also for the cure of all ca tarrhal. bronchial and throat affections, accompained with catarrhal discharges, hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, or hang-on-coughs, and all those wasting affections which, if not promptly^nd properly treated are liable to termmate in consumption. Take Dr. Pierce’s Dis covery in time and persevere in rts use until you give it a fair trial and it is not likely to disappoint. Too much must not be expected of it. It will not perform miracles. It will not cure consumption in its advanced stages. No medicine will. It will cure the affections that lead up to consumption, if taken in time. Odd Names of Sailors. When the crew of the timber laden vessel from Nova Scotia were lined up at Liverpool in order that they might “declare” l>efore the customs officer, one man gave bis name as Washington Seafoam and another as Salvation Army. Thinking the men were joking, the officer appealed to the captain, who confirmed the accuracy of the names.— Birmingham Post NOTICE OF FINAL DISCHARGE. Kotlce Is hereby given that oa Sawrday.

It- cash value, loan and extention provisions become effective and year instead of the 3rd. We will even make a loan to assist in paying the second premium. The New York Standard Policy offers no cash value—only loans. If a man, age 35, should take out, at the same time two 2C payment life policies for jio,ooo each, one in the Mutual Benefit, the other in the New York Standard policy form, he would pay a premium for the New York policy which would exceed that of the Mutual Benefit by $21.20 per annum, a difference, which improved at 6 per cent, compound interest, would amount in 20 years to $826.65. Then if he would sur render both policies, The Mutual Benefit would pay him $609.20 more than the New York company, making a total dif ference in guaranteed results of $1,435.85. The above takes no account of divi dends, the amount of which must depend on future management, interest rates and mortality. Place your insurance with the Mutual Benefit Life Ins.
