The Hook of Revelation do nliea a battle which in to take place between the kmiH f the earth ami of the whole world. It calls tins battle Ar mageddon, a llelirew name. C'iviliation is looking now upon one of the greatest, if not the greatest, conflicts of the ages, as it sways in the bul- h unce between returning to peace or going forth to carnage Gun this be the fulfillment of the prophecy of Revelation? No one can say. The study of prophecy does not include pre diction, (lod keeps the times and seasons in his own hands. He who undertakes to fix or determine them advertises his own audacity and hardened in fidelity. When the promised events come we shall know them, but they shall arrive without warning. Our respon sibility is to be ready for them at any time. The nations have been giving themselves to material things, to luxury, to prize-fighting, and all forms of course and frivol ous pleasure. They have be come defiant. They have laugh ed. Defection of faith has ap peared in the church. Most persistent, determined and even boastful effort has been made to teach the all-sutlieiency of man. Mr. Carnegie attempts to buy peace with money, but he has not the price. Only the Prince of Peace can bring peace, and Mr. Carnegie would snatch ed ucation from the hand of the Church and then would change her and use her for the purpose of making wars to cease. The war cry of all Kurope has changed all this. The prize tights reuse. The smaller con tentions give way; the lines of pleasure are suspended; travel is arrested; the stock exchanges are closed; people tremble, and uli interest centres in the por tending war cloud. With war already begun, it will mean the coming of our Lord personally to many a sol dier whom he will meet in judgment. It may mean the coming of our Lord in a mark ed visitation as lie came to the Jews in Jerusalem. The unbe lief of this age calls for some thing of this kind. It may mean the great final Second Coming of our Lord, to assert His Kingship anil complete His Kingdom. But of this we can not speak conclusively. Rut the loud call of this hour is the cull lor repentance, to faith, and to obedience. The call should be tirst heard by the Church, for there will the judgment be gin The Church in her faith, her services and her method has suffered large defection. The world and worldly men have weakened her, and her ambition has been her own glory than the praise, worship, obedience and expectation of her King. Whatever may be the outcome ami course of the present war omens, let the Church profit by the grave pos sibilities, and out of them arise to a more vigorous faith, mode definite reliance upon the plan and gospel of Christ and to a more faithful, constant and consistent watchiug.-The Pres byterian.

And while he railed ai womankind I smiled behind my fan, For, said I, "We may be dreadful, bui we're good enough for men ! Oh, it's woman ihis and woman that and "woman is to blame." Remember back in Eden shifty Adam said the same ! It's "woman's clothes !" and "woman's ways," "her hats, her her walk." It's "woman, woman, woman," and I'm tired of the talk. heels It's "the woman with ihe serpent's tongue," when poets wield the flail, Or "the female of the species," far more deadly than the male ! It's the hobble skirted horror," luring men to sin and debt, It's ihe vain and wily "vampire" or "the strong-armed suffragette !" Pshaw; it's woman this and woman that ! "The woman tempted me!" But it's "Oh, forgive me, angel !" when they're waking from a spree. It's the "mannish modern woman" or the "silly, frilly" one; But it's "God bless home and mother !" when they want their cooking done. It's the "sneaking, peeking woman," never known to work or think; It's "the nagging, ragging woman," driving patient man 10 drink; It's "the rainblin, gambling woman, spending all her husband's cash; It's "the ghoulish, clubbish woman," letting hubby live on hash. Oh, it's woman this and woman that, and say, I didn't do it ! "Behold, the woman lured me on !" or else, "she drove me to it !" It's woman here and woman there, man's burden all through life ! But when they gel a toe-ache, it's "Oh, Where's my little wife" ? Now, we aren't all plaster angels, and it's lucky that we're not, As long as we must live with men (u rather earthly lot), We may have our lauhs and foibles, bui if all your taunts were true, Well, don't you think we still should be quite good enough for you? Oh, it's woman this and woman that, and "Let's reform her quick!" But it's "ministering angel !" when they're down and out and sick. It's woman here and woman there, and " 'Ware the siren's snare !" But if man gets to heaven, 'twill be woman got him there. Helen Howland, in the Christian Century. "A Gentleman Is Dying Here," Said She. "He is F.xtremely Anxious Concerned About the State of His Soul and is Anxious To See Vou liefore He Dies." WOMAN. How the Hindus Say Wore Made. Women The following story, in which the principals are people of the highest social position in Lngland, is told as the solemn truth by the London Express. The vicar of a church there was leaving the church after choir practice recently when a lady stepped out of an aisle and in agitated tones requested him to immediately accompany her to an address near at hand. "A gentleman is dying there," said she. "He is extremely concerned about the state of his soul and is anxious to see you before he dies." The vicar hastily followed her to a waiting taxicab and they were quickly whisked around the corner to the address she had given, a magnificent mansion. The lady's agitation was very noticeable as she urged the vicar to hurry. He sprang out, rang the door-bell and a butler appeared. "Does Mr. live here?" he asked. "Yes, sir." "I hear he is seriously ill and has sent for me." The butler's astonishment at these words were so great that he was unable to speak for some min utes. He finally protested that his master was not ill but that on the contrary he was perfectly well. "But this lady," the vicar start ed to explain but he did not finish the sentence, for the lady and the taxicab had completely disappeared and the good man was astonished According to a Hindu legend, Twashtri, the god Vulcan of the Hindu mythology, created the world. But on Ins commencing to create woman he discovered that with man he had exhausted all his creative materials, and that not one solid element had been left. This, of course, greatly per plexed Twashtri and caused him to fall into a profound meditation. When he arose from it he pro ceeded as follows: He took the roundness of the moon, the undu lating curves of the serpent, the graceful twist of the creeping plant, the light shivering of the grass blade and the slenderness of the willow, the velvety softness of the flowers, the lightness of the feather, the gentle daze of the doe, the frolicsomeness of the dancing sun beam, the tears of the cloud, the inconsistency of the wind, the lim idnessof the hare, the vanity of the peacock, the hardiness of the diamond, the sweetness of honey, the cruelty of the tiger, the heat of the fire, the chill of the snow, the cackling of the parrot and the coo ing of the turtle dove. All these he mixed together and formed woman. Then he present ed her to the man: Experience is the term a man usually applies to his mistakes.

Down in Johnson county, Mo., they are erecting in the county court-house a commemorative tablet to a man who made a speech there once about a dog. It wasn't a real speech; it was just a few words addressed to the jury by a man who was a lover of dogs, and who was trying to prove that killing a man's dog is a real and tangible injury to ihe man. The lawyer who made the address was the late Senator George G. Vest. All through ihe trial, so tradition states, the Senator paid scant attention to the defense, ihe evidence, or the wit nesses. The Kansas city Journal continues : When the time came for ihe attorneys to argue the case, the Senator opened no ponderous legal tomes. He cited no learned decisions and to no vellumed "authorities." He merely stepped forward to the jury box, and in a conversational lone, without any attempt at oratorical effect, delivered this masterful little etching of eloquence, which has passed into a classic in the literature of the law and the humanities : "Gentlemen of the jury : The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. The son and daughter that he has reared with loving care may become ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those who we trust with our hap piness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money thai a man has he may lose. It flies away from him when he needs it most. Man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. . The people who are prone to fall upon their knees and do us honor when success is with us may be the first 10 throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend a man may have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one thai never proves un grateful or treacherous, is his dog. "Gentlemen of the jury : A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely. He will kiss the hand ihat has no food to otter. He will lick the sores and wounds that come in the encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. "When all oilier friends desert, h? remains. When rich.i ukc wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the mas ter forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithtul dog asks no higher privilege than mat of accompanying him to guard him against danger, to light against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no mailer if all other friends pur sue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws and his eyes open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even unto death." It is also part of the history of the case that the jury, not with unwet eyes, gave a verdict for the Senator's client without leaving the jury box. CASTORIA For Infanta and Children. fbe Kind You Have Always Bought Bsara the Btgaatura of After a man has known a wo man about so long he begins to tell her the story of his life and three-fourths of the story is fiction. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA ter asked. "I was told that you were seriously ill; that you were concerned about your soul and that you wished to see me." He then described the lady who had brought him in the taxicab, but the gentleman was not able to identify her; he had no such friend or ac qaintance as she was described to be. After discussing i he strange affair for a few minutes on the doorstep the vicar was invited into the house. "It is very strange," said Mr. , "that you should have been sent on such an errand in such a strange way. As a matter of fact, however,! am perfectly well. I have been troubled about the state of my soul and have seriously contem plated calling upon you to discuss the matter with you. Now that you are here, let us forget the strange incident thai has just oc curred and if you will give me the time, we will talk of the subject that has been on my conscience." For an hour the clergyman and his new acquaintance discussed the matter which had been agitating the mind of ihe latter and it was arranged mat ne should come to the church the following morning in order that the discussion might be continued. He did not appear at the church, however, and the vicar, much interested in the case, called at his home to learn ihe rea son. The butler met him at the door with the information that his master died 10 minuies after they had separated the previous day. Accompanied by the butler the clergyman went upstairs to ihe room where the dead man lay and (here on the table he saw a por trait of the lady who had sought his coiine for (he mart and had accompanied him in the taxicab from the church. "Who is that?" asked the minister in astonish ment. "That, sir," the butler answer ed, "is my master's wife who died 15 years ago." Pathfinder.
