by Rv. O. M. Stoarna.
CopjrtM. HOT, by Amtricaa Pita Aaociittoa.)
The Lord bad appointed feasts for
Israel In which they might draw near
to Ilim and in which He might special
ly weal Himself to them and Mesa
tbein. A full record of these li found
in Lev. zzlii. These feasts had be
come feasts of the Jews rather than
feasts of the Lord (John il, 13: . 1:
1. 4; ril, 2), in which they relied upon
their outward devotion to Him rather
than on His undeserved mercy: benct
Ills saying. "Go ye and learn what that
meaneth. I will have mercy and not
sacrifice" (Matt ix, 13: ail. 7). Hs
came to bestow the mercy of God, not
to demand sacrifices from them as if
they Uiust pay Him for all He did for
them. We are all as helpless In the
matter of salvation or of service as
was the sick and dying toy in last
week's lesson to obtain health or his
father to give it to him. Here In this
esson Is another Illustration. There
is a pool whose waters at certain sea
sous are troubles by an angei and be
come possessed of healing properties
which are exhausted by the tirst dis
eased one who steps in. About this
pool lay a great multitude of impotent
lolk waiting for the moving of the wa
ter. They are a constantly disappoint
ed crowd, for only one of the multi
tude can be healed. The next must all
wait for the next scramble, and only
the least helpless stands any chance
whatever, and a wholly impotent per
son had no chance at all of obtaining
health from that pool. The condition
of the impotent represents the condl
tlon of all by nature, without strength,
ungodly, sinners, enemies (Itotu. v,
G-10. but what la represented by the
pool, by which aonie one with a slight
ailment was healed. Is not quite so
clear, for there la only one way of aai
ration, and He is a Saviour for sin
ners. not for nxnteous peopie wuo
think they can do for themselves. Je
sus came to these porches by that pool
one day and saw there a truly Impo
tent man whose trouble bad already
lasted him thirty-eight years. Notic
ing bow matters stood. He said to
him. "Wilt thou be made wholer Tne
man's reply. "Sir. 1 have no man to

the pool and a man to put nlia in. The
pool be could see. but the man to put
oka in be bad not yet seen, and when
there might be a possibility of bis be

Yet in bis be!pl?tness be continued
cntil this day. when a seemingly ordl

then added. "Rise, take op thy be.I

A MAN'S HANDS.
8emoCallinga That Leave Their Trada-
marka Imprassad Thereon.
If vour eveaicht is keen enough
it is possible to tell by looking' at a
person's hands what sort of employ
ment that individual follows, ac
cording to scientific men.
It is a commonly accepted fact
that the face reveals character, but
erv few persons have ever paid any
attention to the hands as disclosers
of a man's habits. Yet it seems we
can get just as much information
out of the latter as the former if
we know how to go about it.
The continual repetition of the
same kind of manual work, siws Dr.
Alfred Gradenwitz in the Scientific
,nicrican. results in a permanent
alteration of the skin and muscles
as well as a transformation of the
bones (atrophy or thickening of the
parts), displacement of the joints.
etc., for in repeating a given
manipulation over and over again
the palm and the balls ot tne
thumb and little finger are called
upon continually to perform the
6ame action, leading to a perma
nent strain on and wear and tear of
certain parts of the hand.
The greatest alterations are
shown in the hands of laborers who
do heavy manual work. They have
coarse and clumsy hands, with
short, thick and callous finders, the
balls of the thumb and little fincer
being especially developed and tho
skin being horny and covered with
fissures.
Take the left hand of a smith.
By continually manipulating the
tongs with this hand the balls of the
fingers and and thumbs are very
markedly developed, and the finger
tips are broadened.
The hand of the average shoe
maker has a strikingly broad and
flat thumb, while the tips of the
Sneers are likewise broad and flattened.
In the hand of the typesetter who
works at the case it is to be noticed
that the thumb and forefinger of
the right hand are tapering in the
upper parts, while the left hand
thumb, which presses upon the
tvrve in the stick, is flattened.
" The tailor can easily be picked
out by the condition of the forefin
ger on his right hand, while the
pianist will be found to have taper
mg fingers and thumbs, which are
flattened upon the part which
touch the keys.

On one occasion visitors to a mer-ry-po-round
on a Tacant lot in the
outskirts of Philadelphia were very
much touched by the melancholy
demeanor of a long, lean, lank indi
vidual who despite the fact that he
was apparently suffering greatly
persisted in ridin? repeatedly. At
last some one said to him sympa
thetically :
"You appear to be in great dis
tress" "Yes," replied the man on the
merry-go-round. "ThU continual
riding around and around makes
me seaiok."
"Well, then, why don't yo. quit
riding?" aked the inquisitive qucs
tinner. "I can't help it," replied the poor
man. "The man who runs tins
merry-jro-round owe me morey,
and the only way I ran collect it is
by taking it ul in ride."
