We hear pretty stories about the telephone, how even the baby is held up to the telephone and the transmit ter lield to its ear. It listens, and then cries out joyfully: “Papa,” and the papa many miles away heafs it. One of the prettiest stories told'of what the telephone has done is told of a family out West. The mother was sick in a hospital many miles away. She insisted at Christmas time that no change should be made at home. There must be Christmas presents and the tree. The father and some men worked at the Christmas tree for some hours on the afternoon before Christ mas. The mamma far away was well enough ta walk to the telephone in the hospital. The hour was arranged. Suddenly, w’hcn all the children wer^ around the tree, the father reached into the tree, put the transmitter care fully concealed there to the oar of the ycunge.st child, and the child heard its mother’.- Chiis'mas message. Each in turn -poke to her, and they voted that mamma’s voice was the best Christmas present that they had.— out took. Christmas is the time for coming to gether. (iohome by the Beabord Air Line.

In its Agarative use in the Old Teata- ment it is tbe register of the covenant peoplg. Tbero nwl elsewhere it also re fers to the list which Qod keepn'in' heaven of those who are His. whose nnmee. os it were, ore written in book, giving them a title to eternal life. “It contains a list of the righteons and insnres to those whose names are written therein life before God first in tbe earthly kingdom of Qod and then eternHl life also’’ It is the recewd book of God. in which He keeps the names of those who ore faitbfnl and tme to Him in Christ and from which He blots out the names of all who are nnfaithfnl to Him. The reference soggosls that 1. If onr uauiea are written in tbe book of life, it shonld canse ns great joy (Lake x. 20). To the 70 on their retnm from their missionary tonr and their report of their great power—that even devilH were Hnbject to them—Jeans said. ‘'Nutw’ith.-itaudiag. in this rejoice nut that the spirits are snbject unto yon, bat rejoice rather becanse yonr names are written in heaven.” To have power over evil spirits for the good of mankind w’onld certainly be conse for rejoicing, bnt ht'.v mneb greater canse for rejoicing is tbe fact that oar names are written in this Lamb’s book of life. That record tells ns that we are saved—saved for time and eternity. It tells us that we are the children of God and that Qod is Kp^ial- ly interested in ns and exercises special caro and control of as. If anything in tbe world can cause as joy, this fact shoald. and a joy that will manifest it self in gratitude to God and consecra tion to His service. 3. If onr names are written in tbe book of life, onr one aim in life sbonld be to see that they are not blotted ont. They may be blotted oat. Moeee prayed that his name be blotted ont for tbe good of Israel, which of coarse cohld not be done. In Rev. iii, ff, Jesus says, “He that overcometh, tbe same shall be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot ont his name oat of the book of life." This statement shows that it is possible for onr names to be blotted oat of God's bc.ok of life. What a sad catastrophe sacb a fate wonld be I If the chief joy of earth is in having onr names written in heaven, who can de scribe the sorrow of having them blot ted ont? Bat. though they may, yet they need not be blotted out. If we overcome—overcome sin. overcome trial, overcome unbelief—they shall not be. And Jeans will help as so that we can overcome. He has overcome the world, and tbrongU Him we may over come it. Let ns be faithful to God in Christ and keep onr names in tbe book of life, for thus only can we enter heaven. “Then shall in nowise enter into itany- thing that^efiletb, • * • bnt they which are written in tbe Lamb’sbookof life.” Bible Readings.—Ex. xxxii. 80-82; EccL xii, 18, 14; Isa. iv, 8; Dan. xii, 1-8; Math. xii.

Imaalnca Ilia Skin and Cletkina Are infeatrd With Worma—Strauire llal- Inclnatloua of the Optica—End In the Madhoaac. t These evils canuot be more strongly revealed than in the exi>erlence of ao Australiuu physician, lie has given the world of iiuMliciue the benefit of a uaiTatioii of whui he uuderweat after he had become addicted to the almost coustaut use of the drug. In the course of tliat confessiou. which he did not hesitate to make public, he said iu de scribing Ills sensations: “Tbe first feel- lag a cucaiuist has is no indescribable cxciteuiLUt to do something great; to leave a luark. But. alas! this disap- pt‘ars us rapidly ns it came, nod soon every part of the botly seems to cry out for a new syringe. The second sensation—at first, at least, no ballucl- untion—is that his bearing Is enor mously iucreaseI, so that lie hears the flies walking over the pjiper. Very soon every souud beglos to be a re mark about bimself, mostly of a uasty kind, and he begius to carry on a soli tary’ life, his only companion being bis beloved syringe. Every passerby seems to talk about him. Ofteu and of tea have I stopped persous or order ed tbe police to arrest them, thinking they were talking about me. “After a relatively short time be gins the ‘hunting of the cocaine bug.’ You imagine that in your skin worms or similar thiugs are moving along. If you touch them with wool, especially absorbent w’ool. they run away and disappear, only to peep cautiously out of some corner to see If there Is any danger. These worms are projected only to the cocalnist’s ow’d person or clothing, lie sees them on his wash ing. in ills skin, creeping along bis pen holder. but not on other people or things and not on clothes brought clean from the jauudry. How is this to be explainel? About the same time ap pear many other hallucinations of the optics and. strange to say. self aug- gestcil hallucinations also. Night turns to day. You sit up In your room syringing until the morning and then fall asleep in a coma.
