NATURAL BRIDGE OF AGATE.
Arizona Claims This Wonder in Its
Famous Petrified Forest.
There is unending variety of marvelous
sights to be seen in the petrifled
forest covering thousands of
acres in the eastern part of Arizona,
but what is regarded as the greatest
of all is the bridge of petrified wood.
It is a huge petrified tree trunk spannine
a canyon-like ravine fifty feet
wide?a bridge of agate and jasper
overhanging the only clump of living
trees found within the forest's borders.
Each end of the log is embedded
in scale and sandstone, leaving
100 feet of it either wholly or partly
exposed. How much of its length still
remains completely buried is unknown.
but each year the action of the
elements brings more inio view.
So far, time has graciously spared
the integrity of this natural curiosity,
but in the last few years the log has
begun to show signs o? yielding to the
natural inclination of petrified trees
> and in several places transverse cracks
?** appear. Fearing that the bridge
would tumble to destruction the government
has recently had two stone
?hutments erected under it. making of
It a bridge of three spans. This no
doubt will preserve it for at least several
years yet.

Its lid was a solid panel, but curved
in the fashion of a roll-top desk.
Across the length of it, cut deep in
large letters, such as schoolboys love

'"Oft was I weary when I tolled at

A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. W. H. BURCWIN.
Subject: Sowing anil Reaping.
Brooklyn. X. Y.?For the last sermon
in liis series on "The Substance
of Christian Doctrine" the Rev. W. H.
Burgwin. pastor of the Eighteenth
Street M. E. Church, preached Suntlay
morning on "Sowing and Reapitio
" T Tic tovt r**n c ehncon f rnm f-nl.
ivak n u o v uvcv u 11 v in v/i??
latians xi:7-S: "Be not deceived; God
is not mocked; for whatsoever a man
soweth. that shall he also reap. For
he that soweth to the ttesh shall of
the tlesh reap corruption; but he thnt
soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit
reap life everlasting." Mr. Burgwiu
said:
Our statement of the substance of
Christian doctrine in the four preceding
discourses has presented the Creator
of all things as a merciful and
bountiful Provider for Iiis creatures.
Man. because of unique relationships
to God, is the object of His particular
and peculiar favor. Insisting that
"All have sinned and come short of
the glory of God." the divine love
finds a way to satisfy infinite justice
and to redeem for eternity every sinner
who will be saved. The nature of
the sinner, as created, precludes the
idea or the possibility of compulsion.
There is. however, a too general tendency
to discount Scriptural teachings
?to feel that God, having done so
much for man, will do more. that, in
some way, a comfortable and blissful
future is assured us. even though unbelief
and disobedience mark our conduct
here. The apostle combats such
a conception. Jesus Himself contradicts
it: "Ye cannot serve God and
Mammon." The Scriptures uniformly
oppose It by precept and example.

this thought: All men are redeemed
by Christ; but we are not
saved from our guilt and its fixed )
penalty until we are in accord with
Christ and the divine plan. What the
sowing is the harvest will be. This
is the truth as taught us.
Our text is a warning?an unmistak- 1
able danger signal. This warning is
given in view of real dangers appar- 1
ent to all observers of human nature.
It assures us that God does not make ]
spiritual or moral paupers of men. 1
Men rthinot be redeemed without God;
but. in the divine economy. God does i
not save the man without the man <
himself. The man. In addition to <
God's work, must work out his own 1
salvation. For man there is a sowing !
and there is a reapiug. There is good i
seed for sowing in mora! and spiritual
soil; there is other seed which dej
velops degraded human character.
Man selects his own seed and sows it. ?
The seed proceeds to follow the law 1
of nature. It brings forth after its i
kind?noisome weeds or golden grain. <
It is an eternal harvest of "eorrup- i
tion" or of "everlasting life.'' Even I
if man be deceived. God is not mocked. 1
This Scripture warns ?s that every i
mortal has freedom to direct his own i
career within well known fields, for
good or evil. Above the human actor ]
is the Divine Governor, who will not i
compel Unman loyalty, our woo, ruling
in more extensive fields than the
merely finite and human, invariably
directs the mortal to the future his
own freedom has chosen, to the reaping
of the harvest his own life has
sown. Thus it is clear that man's
destiny is in his own control.
It becomes apparent that this universal
governor in administering his
government is not anarchic. He is the
supreme exponent of order and law;
He, the arch-opponent of confusion.
All disorder tends to confusion, in
particular as in universal dominion.
The human sinner is a begettor of
confusion in that he interferes with
law and order. He thus challenges
the divine wisdom, power and will.
He is a rebel against the Creator and
Rnior nf nil thincs. Were all nature
to follow him. the original chaos and
anarchy would prevail in ail realms.
Perfect order in human life would
bring man to the perfect destination
for which he was originally designed.
That perfect order becomes a real fact
for man through Jesus Christ, who is
the exemplar of that order. "Who His
own self bare our sins in His own
body on the tree, that we, being dead
to sin, should live unto righteousness:
by whose stripes ye were healed." li'
we encourage sin in our lives, if we
do not persistently resist the devil, we
are sowing accursed seed; we are not
dead to sins, we do not live unto righteousness:
consequently, that perfect
order is not an actuality for us, though
it remains a possibility, because of the
divine mercy and our ability to sow
the seed of repentance, by Cod's help,
if we will.
Evidently, then, the glorious destination
of man as described in Scripture,
bringing the creature back to his lost
estate, where he is conformed to the
image of llim who is the express
Image of Cod's substance, is not an
arbitrary goal to which every creature
move whether or no. The attainment
of that destination is a matter of ]
choice and decision on the part of the j
creature?that decision and choice ir.- ]
dicating his accord with the will and | |
plan of the Creator. Man has a goal. ,

him. the "life everlasting" of our text,
toward which it is his personal re
sponsibility and duty Intelligently to
direct his way. He is not like the cricket.
If you have ever noticed this insect
in an open space, bound for somewhere.
you will remember that lie
spring a foot or so into the air. turns
a somersault or two at each jump,
his course being zigzag and uncertain,
as likely to terminate in one place as
another, so far as you can determine.
Many mortals do resemble the insect,
with this exception, that the unintelligent.
zigzag course cannot possibly
bring them to the right destination.
That this zigzag course exists indicates
that the truth has l?eon perverted.
Men have been deceived. In their confident
intellectual self-conceit they
have proclaimed various modifications
of the Christian plan as we possess it.
In their reasonings and speculations
they have argued that a loving Cod
would not do this, that He would not
do that: that a just Cod would act
thus and so. and would not act in certain
ether ways. So they have an
nouuced their conclusions that all will
eventually be saved, whatever their
lives' sowing: may have been; or that
Immortality is conditional, that the Incorrigible
will not suffer eternal punishment,
but that finally they will be
annihilated, utterly destroyed; that
there will be a future probation, an opportunity
beyond the grave to accept
the divine mercy. All of this is attractive
as speculation. The truth is,
there is no adequate warrant in the
Holy Scriptures for any such hopes.
God says, "Be not deceived." God insists
that the eternal life is a harvest
following a seed sowing.
In practice, too, there are dangerous
theories, for "as a man thin! th in
his heart, so is he." If he makdl himself
believe that everything is coming
out all right, irrespective of his con
?pm
. . ^
duct, his belief will affect his conduct.'*
If a man argues himself to feeling that
if God cannot receive him into heavenly
realms, He will put filui out of
his misery, annihilate him, tne tendency
will be for him to throw himself
into the flood of activity, whatever its
character, which promises him the fullest
and most satisfactory return to his
present selfish ambition. Such attitudes
of mind, with their baneful results.
are all too common. The thought
of the judgment of God in absolute
equity in the eternal existence of the
soul is a most admirable and effective
check upon all such human presumption.
Well may we pray with the
Psalmist, "Keep back thy servant also
from presumptuous sins; let them not
have dominion over me."
The baneful results referred to have
illustrations in every field of endeavor.
In no other way can I account for the
nsronishinir attitude of people whom |
I am meeting often?uot bad, vicious
people, either?but folks who are utterly
careless and indifferent in relation
to this duty or that; the moral and
religious instruction of their children.
Sabbath observance, the payment of
bills due. the speaking of the unblemished
truth, the holding of malice
against fellow Christians; in perfect
calmness men will argue in extenuation
of any sin in the catalogue. Then,
there is a popular feeling that a man
to get along must have a "pull." Character,
ability, the whole moral and
practical capacity of the individual, are
discounted. This feeling is so current
that you may hear it expressed anywhere.
It has come to me recently
from different sources, in one case expressed
by a man, in the other by a
woman. In both instances, children
are being reared, reared and trained
by professed Christians in that atmosphere.
Most emphatically, I resent
and condemn such an attitude on the
part of any, especially Christians. It is
specious, vicious, disastrous. "Full"
may secure place among men. but
character aud ability only bring honor.
Some men may be tardy In recognizing
worth. Gotir is not. Ilis judgments
are based on character. Again, in business
it has come to pass that too often
any legal means is considered justifiable.
"According as you put something
in. the greater will be your dividend^
of salvation," one man of enormous
wealth* and extensive business interests
is reported to have said. That
"something" which you put in is not
money, or words, or deeds. These, one
or all, may be a symbol of that "something."
The thing put in must be a
self-surrender to God, an acceptance
of the Divine will as our standard of
conduct. If Mr. Rockefeller is destitute
of this disposition of moral selfsurrender,
all his great gifts are not
sufficient to "win Divine approval.
N'one can buj the gift of God. God is
too rich to sell, and man is too poor to
buy. Any man's gifts may indeed become
an obstacle to favor with God
In that they may promote a conceit of
self-righteousness such as certain anPhoricnoc
Vinrl Tt ts WOfSC than
useless for a man to make the church
tils hobby If he gouges his fellow-men
in business every chance he gets. "Be
not deceived." Remember the harvest
md be heedful of the sowing.
There are men active in political life,
irofessed Christians, who. according to
rumor?in some instances the rumor
iias been proved fact in court?are the
ecipients of peculiar favors popularly
tnown as "graft." It's custom. Oth?rs
do it. they say. Yes, and it's ilegal,
dishonest; it's perjury, too. Secretary
Bonaparte does well to insist
hat this species of dishonesty is a
jrave menace to the nation. The book
says, "Be not deceived." I speak to
roung men. Some of you may hold
jolitical position, as you now hold busiless
places of responsibility. I speak
'orcefully, for I know your possible
emptations. Abhor any moral comiromise
in politics, In business or in
social life. The man who leads a
louble life is a doomed man. He may
lot be condemned to prison by a jury
>f his peers: his integrity may escape
piestion because of prevailing laxity
>r personal shrewdness. But. "Be not
leceived; God is not mocked." "Be
;ure your sin will And you out." All
;ouls reap, gathering as they.hare
sown. Thank God, there are men,
nany of them here and everywhere,
,vho are above reproach. May their
ribe increase.
So we deceive ourselves. In our selfleceiv-d
state, we may find a sort of
omfort; we are with the crowd; our
hanees are as good as another's; we'll
urn over a new leaf, now or hereafter.
"God is not mocked." We cannot treat
lod contemptuously, as we may our
.'ellows. As truly as seed brings a like
larvest, so truly our derision of God
esolves itself into despair. The insult
:o Deity always reverts to the insulter.
Men must not find comfort in the <
bought that such willful disorder ou
heir part can produce order hereafter. ,
[f the sowing be sin. disorder, the reaping
must be confusion.
Christianity offers humanity its
greatest conceivable opportunity, but
tiumanity must embrace the opportunity.

Victory.
The joy of resisting temptation Is the
highest joy men can feel. It is a moment
when our little life here grows
larger, and we feel ourselves lifted
into a wide sphere; we have a sense
of fellowship with higher beings, and
are somehow conscious of their sympathy.
All God's creation smiles upon
ns and appears made for our joy.?

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS
FOR OCTOBER &
Subject: Daniel In the I.lon'a Den, Dan.
vl? 10-23? Golden Text, Paa. xiiIt., 7
?Memory Vpwei, 21-23?Commentary
on the Da)'t Lenon.
I. Daniel praying (v. 10).
10. "When Daniel knew," etc. Daniel
knew that the king's edicts were
irreversible. "Open*-toward Jerusalem."
This was not an act of superstition.
but a recognition of God s
promise to Solomon (1 Kings 8:35-44i,
who had in his prayer at the dedication
of the temple entreated God to
hear the prayers of those who might
be in strange lands or in captivity
when they should turn their faces toward
their own land and city and the
temple. It was an aid to the spirit of
devotion. "Kneeled." Compare 1
Kings 8:34; Ezra 9:5; Eph. 3:14.
Kneeling is a fitting attitude for humhie
prayer. "Three times a day." See
Psa. 35:17. The three hours of prayer
were the same as the hours of sacrifice
in the temple. "As he did aforetime."
lie did not swerve a hair's breadth,
lie could have prayed in secret and
been heard, but that course would have
been a public confession of want of
faith in God and of yielding to the enemy.
Daniel simply went on his daily
path of life, as if no such order had
been given. There was no time when
he needed to pray more than at this
time.
11. Wicked men plotting (vs. 11-15).
11. "These men." The princes who
had been plotting against Daniel.
"Assembled." Ran has'My, so as to
come upon Daniel sudden v and detect
him in the act. They l*a ' heard his
voice and now rushed in upon him.
12. "Law?which altereth not." It
was quite common in ancient times to
worship the king. To alter the law
would be a confession of fallibility,
and an abrogation of godhead.
13. "That Daniel." etc. The accusers
do not mention the high official station
of Daniel and his intimate official
relations with the king, but merely refer
to his foreign birth in older that'
they may thereby bring his conduct
under the suspicion of being a political
act of rebellion against the royal authority.
14. "Sore displeased." Vexed
at thus being overreached: for he saw
that it was enmity toward Daniel and
not anxiety for the maintenar.ee of his
authority which had led to the Dlot.
"Labored." Endeavoring to find some
way to evade the execution ol the sentence.
15. "Know. O .King." Their
tone was ma^erful now, for they felt
able to compel the king to work their
will. Kings are the slaves of their
flatterers, ^nese wicked men were
determined to get rid of the lioly Daniel.
They hated him.
III. Daniel among the lions (vs. 1G18).
16. "They brought Daniel." According
to Oriental custom the sentence
was carried out on the evening
of the same day in which the accusation
was made. "Thy God?will deliver."
The heathen believed in the
interposition of the gods in times of
calamity. While Darius did not recognize
Daniel's God as the irue God,
yet he was "a god." and Dan.el's character
was such that the king believed
his God would deliver him. 17.
"Sealed it." In the days when very
few could read or write sigt.ets were
used instead of writing the name. 18.
"Passed the night fasting." The soul
of the pleasure-loving king was so
stirred that he had no care for food or
sleep. His grief was greatly increased
by his consciousness that this evil
came from his own weakness and Sin.
IV. Daniel's deliverance (vs. 19-23).
19. "Went in haste." A strange spectacle
for a m onarch of the world thus
to be attendirg upon a condemned servant
of God. Yet the king had never
appeared to such a good advantage.
20. "lamentable voice." Deeply distressed
and in an agony of anxiety.
He cried out between hope and fear.
"Servant of the living God." Darius
borrowed, this phrase from Daniel.
God extorted from an idolater a confession
of the truth. "Is thy Godable."
Full of concern, he trembles to
ask the questioh, fearing to be answered
with the roaring of the lions
after more prey. 21. "O king, live
forever." The common salutation in
addressing a king. Daniel might have |
indulged in anger at tnc King, nut aia
nor. His sole thought was that God's
glory had been set forth in his deliverance.
ti'J. "Sent His angel." Daniel
had company in the den of lions. There
was no music nor gladness in the palnco,
but celestial joy in the intercourse
between Daniel and the angel in the
den. Daniel takes care to ascribe his
deliverance to the living God, that He
may not be confounded with the false
gods of the heathen. He speaks of the
angel as God's instrument, not the author
of his deliverance. "Shut the
lions' mouths." Angels had held the
lions' jaws and paws and made them
peaceable companions and harmless as
doves. This was a new and wonderful
experience for Daniel. He delighted
to relate it to the king, whose voice betrayed
his agony. "Innoceucy was
found." Dy this wonderful deliverance
Daniel learned how God estimated
faithfulness an I how He is
pleased to reward it. C od had shown
Daniel that his disobedience to a
heathen king was not sin. He had
been faithful in what he believed to
be right, and in the test God declared
him innocent by his wonderful deliverance.
"No hurt." Daniel had been

GEESE CATCH HIS F<8H.
Scotchman's Simple and ' ique Labor-Saving

nine," said a resident of Greenwood
-ake, "has a method of "taking fresh

The fisherman desires, we
rill say, r. mess of bass, pickerel or

talf a dozen geese, as the case may
je, and ties a baited line about fl\ 1
feet long to their feet.
"On reaching the edege of the la'
with a basket containing one or m?eese,
the fisherman turns the bit J

tnd the old Scotchman lights his pice

the goose a good pull. Then the

R is only a few years since Woonsocket

face of "Alf' Church, for a long time
deputy sheriff and chief of police, a
man who was straightforward and
blunt in all his dealings.
One day a grocer went to "Alf" for
information about a certain "Joe"
White, who had applied for credit and

dialogue ensued:

Fought Duel With Water.
Very absurd was a duet which was
fought not long ago In front of the
railway station at Antwerp. Two burgesses
of Liege, after a day's sightseeing.
adjourned to a cafe for refreshment,
and there began a dispute which
led to hot words and finally to blows.
Nothing but blood could efface the
mutual insults, but as no deadly weapons
were available the cafe proprietor
suggested that the affair could be
Just as well settled with douches, and
he provided each combatant with a
portable waterpipe. For several minutes
the duelists leveled their chilly
weapons at each other; until, dsenched
to the skin, their passions t^re so
effectually cooled they were ^ad to
shake hands and rush away t? change
their garments.
Intelligence vs. Docility.
Will people who talk about dogs
ever learn to differentiate between Intelligence
and docility? The word
"intelligent" is used almost universally
in talking and writing, when people
mean docility; 1. e., the readiness
of the animal to accept Instruction,
says Joseph A. Graham in Outing.
Now, as in human beings, docility is
likely to be an evidence of secondrate
intelligence, and the degree of
Intelligence is likely to appear when
the animal Is doing things on his own
hook. It makes no great difference,
but to the man who tries to think
oortiirafolv the constant ncrade of an
obedient animal as one of exceptional
mental ability is painful.

for the favorite pudding of a

who served it to her family after the

the yolks of six eggs in a pudding

WORKIN(
Their Hard Struggle Made
ments by a Your
and One in N
All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing1 treadmill, earning1
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, ovarian
troubles, ulceration, falling and displacements
of the womb, leucorrhcea,
or perhaps irregularity or suppression
of "monthly periods," causing back-'
ache, nervousness, irritability and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these j
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorating,
sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or perform
her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some derangement of the female organism.
