"Pclorus Jack" is the name of an / old dolphin which Is protected by a special act of the New Zealand legislature. According to an Australian colonist, George Hayes, the official proclamation of the government prohibits any interference with Pelorus Jack under a penalty of ?100. Forty years ago. when Mr. Hayes first emigrated to Australia, he heard an old sailor's tale, according to which a shoal of dolphins grounded on the shores of Cook Strait, and one of "* 1 J *- * t* - TV?r.? nnft mem escapea miu uie sea. mai vmr, which is now acknowledged to be Pelorus Jack, never left the locality where he lost his companions, and, as Mr. Hayes says, "he is now protected by law as he has always been by sentiment." The most remarkable fact of all is the reason for the passage of the law, which Is that Pelorus Jack acts as a most effective pilot, escorting all kinds of vessels in and out of the French Pass.

As he is r.evei absent from his duties the proclamation has been received with keen sat isfaction throughout Australasia by sailors who have to use the French Pass. Overworking a Typewriter.

I OR REGULAR SUNDAY SERMON I a i S Brilliant Discourse Ey Rev. Robert c 11. Carson. ' s Brooklyn. X. Y.?Sunday in Grace 1 Presbyterian Cliurch. the pastor, the ^ Rev. Robert II. Carson, took for his j ( subject "Paul the Preacher." His 1 E text was Acts xxiv:",": "And as he J reasoned of righteousness, temperance and judgment to come. Felix trembled s and answered. Go thy way for this ...I i | ? F unit', W Uf II 1 IIUH* .1 l.uinrimiu i son I will call for thee." Mr. Carson said: This book of apostolic labors gives t us a glimpse of Paul in .many attitudes. We have him pictured before his conversion and after, and whether we see him at his manual occupation of tent-making, or in Ins frequent perils by land and sea. or addressing cultured audiences in splendid cities, or individuals in palaces or in prisons? everywhere we see a man whom we instinctively know to be one of earth's choicest and noblest souls. Just now he is standing before a wicked king and his no less wicked wife, and there is that in his demeanor and his action which makes us proud of Christianity and its power. Too frequently, weakness, with a false gentleness and charity, are considered the proper attendants of a Christian spirit, and ofttiuies a Christian is slow of speech, or altogether ^ silent in the presence of evil lest he r should show a boldness unbecoming in one who proposes himself to be a follower of Him who was meek and low- j ly. But there is no warrant for any g such conduct in the example of Christ, a or In the teaching of His apostles. In- t deed, what strikes a reader most in this book of apostolic acts is the bold- J ness of spirit which the first preachers ^ of the gospel exhibited. We see Peter 1 standing in the presence of his own enemies as well as in- the presence of j the enemies of the Christ, and boldly accusing: tiicni of the murder of flic t Lord. And what said Christ Himself: c "I came not to send peace on earth, j hut a sword." Ho was Christianity's , t founder, and what He was, so should r His followers be. The Christian is to j speak the truth in love, hut in the pres- ^ ence of evil he must neyer be silent through fear, nor mince his words to r suit men's cars, nor pander to their ! r likings, nor dread their criticism. j Apostolic boldness, then, is the first 1 c point that we would note in the words | ] which we have chosen as our text. 1 f Paul is in the presence of a man who j t is master of his life. He speaks to a i j ruler whose word is law. whose nod is i N enough to seal his doom, and yet ho | j speaks so as to make that monarch ^ tremble. Ah. friends, a man who '"s knows his cause to be right can al- j ' ways afford to be courageous and bold, i f Truth at all times is wondrous fearless I -j and dreads 110 sacrifice, whether of case or fame or even of life itself, if ( only Cod he honored 'and righteous- I ness crowned. Look back on that sacred line of fearless witnesses for God and see how strongly this element of courage predominated. Of such was Moses in the presence of Fharaoh. of such was Xathau in the presence of David, of such was Elijah before Ahah. of such was .Tolm the Baptist before Herod, of such were the apos- J ties and martyrs and glorious company of the reformers. Luther would go to the Diet of Worms and vindicate his faith, though as many devils hindered j him as there were slates 011 the house- i tops of Erfurt. When they laid John I Knox, the man who made Scotland. in his grave they said: "There lies one who never feared the face of man." And this fearlessness, this courage. ] nred not be confined to the leaders } alone. The humblest Christian may ] share, and should share, in this prec- . ions heritage. To this line of chosen j souls?the very chivalry of the saints? 1 , belong every man and woman who, like ; 1 N'ehemia'n, dares to say: "So wijl not ( I. because of the fear of the I.ord: who ( is willing in obedience to the dictates , of an enlightened conscience to brave , public opinion and even the loss of ( friendship in standing by what they ( consider right. Such are the salt of , the earth. Such is the leaven that is \ yet going to leaven the whole mass. , , Such are the men whom God and man j . can trust, and such men are the hope 1 j of the world. Herein, indeed, is the j , boldness of Christianity seen. and. i ( thank God. in all the ages of Christen- ! . dom and in all the ranks of life men ; anil women with their fearless courage have been found. It is comparatively easy to bear wit- j i ness to truth when a large public sym- j ] pathizes with you. When on all sides ; you are surrounded by tlnto who encourage you with cheering words: when you have nothing to lose and everything to gain; when the "offense of the cro?s." as Paul puts it. "has ceased." But when the public is un- j , sympathetic, when friends are lacking. ! when there is everything to lose and I nothing earthly to gain, then it is a I < very different matter. Oh. beloved. In our own strength j and relying on our own arm we cannot stand. It is easy to say resist and stand fast, but we can do neither the one nor the other unl?ss we are j steadfast in the faith. In the midst | of this wicked and untoward genera- j tion. when evils, both social and poli- i tical. are eating out the very life of j our nation, how shall we be courageous : and bold, how shall we do our part j to stem the torrent? Surrounded by i sin both in* high places and in low. ! now snail we as followers 01 Jesus Christ set strength to do our duty? ; Confronted by temptation at every turn in the .pathway of life, where shall we get courage to face the tempter and to say with boldness and with : majesty, "get thee behind nie. Satan?" ! In our own strength we cannot do it. To be a power for good, to be a factor ' in the upbuilding of righteousness, to 1 overcome in the conflict with tempta- ; tion. we must know Cod and trust Cod ! < and love Cod as Up is revealed in tin* i 1 face of Jesus Christ, and then we will ? he able to stand fast in the evil day. 1 Such knowledge-is the knowledge that , we want, and it alone will make us bold and courageous as this poor prisoner who makes the monarch tremble. ' So. in 1 he words of our text we < have, in the first place, a sample of ] apostolic boldness, and in the second 1 place we have a sample of apostolb* ( preaching. j The wife of Felix was a Jewess ! j whom he had persuaded to leave lies | , lawful uusuanu. mh. uououess, o a-> anxious to learn of this Jesus who had caused such a commotion ninonx I the people of her nation, and herein 1 may have been the cause of the apes- j < tie's first invitation to the palace. j It is said that the greatest wonder on ( earth is man himself, and indeed I i . believe this to be true. Take, for in- i stanc. this man, Felix, and he is but 1 the type of a numerous family. No 1 man who walks the earth to-day who may not find a representative in some Bible character, and if you Ailigentiy study the different character"ecorded in the sacred book you can easily ' prove the truth of this statement, t 'elix lived in sin. Fnul knew his mnn, nd lie suited his sermon to liis audince. I am not sure that that sermon could escape criticism in these days. am of the opinion that many good ouis would say it was not cvangelial. lie was invited to preach eonerning the faith in Christ, and his ermon was on righteousness, tempernee and judgment to come?topics hat any good man of any faith might cell discuss. Many might say. is that "hristian preaching? I say it is. and nore than that, it is the kind that this ge needs, and we need it every day. f Paul had begun an argument repecting'Christ's divinity, or resurreoion, or any kindred topic, he would irOIKlUI.V UU\t* UUU ?l luwi iiiirivmui^ liscussioiv with Felix, but think you lint he would have made liim tremble? Most men think that Christianity is heology. No: Christianity is morality n the light of eternity. And that is iot the best preaching which delights is with its close reasoning and high peculation and profound theology: hat is the best preaching which makes is. if we are living in sin. turn uneasily 11 our seats and tremble as we listen o its truths. The law is our solioolnaster to bring us to Christ, and it is inly when conscience is aroused within is tlftit we seek the grace which i? in "hrist and which came by Christ. The ind of preaching is not to make men lieologians. the end of preaching is to mild up character, and while seine of is may be far enough on the road to icar sermons on the deep things of ?od, I am not pessimistic when I say hat. taking the world iu its totality, nost of us are still where we need to >e reasoned with concerning righteousless, temperance and judgment 10 ome. "Preaching to the times" is a favorte expression nowadays. Its purpose :eems to be that men are to be amused, is Felix had Paul in from the prison o amuse him. He and he alone ifeaches to the times who makes us estless by showing us the demands of iod's eternal law and then points the vay clear up to Calvary and to Him vho said "Coine unto Me all ye that abor and are heavy laden and I will rive you rest." These are eternal veriies and they fit all times. All others hangc and pass away with the cliangng hour: social, political, aye. even lieological questions have their days md cease to be. hut the eternal need s forgiveness and the everlasting vnnt. rest for the soul. Ami so Paul reasoned of righteous loss to a man living in sin, of tenipormoe to a woman who lived to gratify 'very desire and wicked passion, and >f judgment to come to two wlio never ooked beyond the present world?the irst steps, the first necessary steps to he pointing out of Him in whom alone s forgiveness and from whom alone ve have the power to live so that at lis coining in glorious majesty to udge the world we may not be put to ha me. And now. in the last place, we notice hat this preaching was convincing. That is clear enough, for a man does lot tremble without occasion. A man Iocs not tremble In the presence of spiritual truth except his intellect has >cen reached and his conscience onehed. Paul did his duty, but Felix diirked liis and turned his back upon he truth. He trembled, but lie dt<l iot move. Are there not many men ike him with us to-day? "Go thy vny," said lie. "when I have a convelient season I will send for thee." Is iot that what we often hear. F.ut vhen do those who say so find that hat convenient season ever conies? What do we think of the man who in natters of this world, is given to pitting oft and waiting to another time? 3ur worldly wisdom tells us that such i man will never come to any good ind no one has any confidence in him. i'ou sec through liirn. and smile zt all jis excuses for delay, and think you hat if a man cannot deceive his folows in this respect he can deceive God ind Ills own sonl? The Bible knows of 10 time but now. "Now is the accepted time." And this is true not only of lie greatest of all transactions?our acceptance of Jesus Christ?but of all the lutics that devolve upon us as Christian 111011 and women. We may have to-day an opportunity of doing good, or if receiving good. If we let it slip that loor that opened to us will be shut, ind it will never be opened again. Lost >pporiunilio3 do not ieturn. Otliers may come, but the lost cues come not igain. Let us, then, seize every opportunity. let us realize that the present only is ours, and as we hear the word 3f life let us embrace It in its fulness md live in its strength. Consequence* of Mejlect. Fatal consequences follow not only positive wrongdoing. hut simple neglect of duty also. The ten foolish virgins in the parable were guilty of nothing but neglect, yet their lamps went out and they were shut out from the wedding. The man with one talent did nothing but omit the thing lie ought to have done, yet lie was east out. Those who shall stand on the left hand of the Judge of the whole earth in the last day shall he accused only of omitting to minister to their Lord in His affliction, yet they shall go away into everlasting punishment.

Here the old man's sense of [ustice suddenly conflicted with the pity awakened by the sight of the lad, who stood trembling before him.

The setting up the Asherali within the sacred precincts is dwelt upon as the most aggravated outrage of this wicked king. 8. j "Neither will I." etc. God had promised that this land should be theirs forever (2 Sam. 7: 10). "If only" (R. V.) All of God's promises are conditional. This condition was expressed at the very first. Had they obeyed God they would never have gone into captivity, but would still have been in possession of the promised land. 9. "To do worse." Through the pernicious influence of Manasseh they were led into worse forms of sin than were even practiced by the original Catiaan ites. Tradition says that under Manasseh Isaiah was sawn asunder.

Would the Bible be the book it is if sin were not personified by such characters. and grace personified in Jesus Christ to meet their need? "Heard." 1 Though affliction drives us to God He 1 will not therefore reject us if we sincerely seek Him. for afflictions are sent , to bring ns to Him. "Brought him?to Jerusalem."

I.et not great sinners despair when Manasseh himself, on repentance. found favor with God: in him God showed fortn long sunering (1 Tim. 1: 16; Isa. 1: 18). "Mnnnsseh knew?God." Xo precepts of his father: no teaching of priests and Llevites; no net of ceremonial ^rcumcision nor engaging in forms ofTeligion: no listening to sermons nor rending the Scriptures brought him this knowledge. He had to be brought to a position where nothing but the almighty power of God could deliver him. We will bless God througn all eternity for the days of trouble that lead us to obey (Psn. 50: 15).
