Making the Acquaintance of the Chirsi "Sir, we would see Jesus. "John 12:21. The men who made this request of Philip were represeniaiives of a nation which al thai lime held the preeminent position in intellect and culture. They were Greeks who h id become tired of the polytheis tic worship practiced in their own country, and had become conver ted to the Jewish religion. Com ing up 10 Jerusalem at ilie time of the Passover ihey heard about the new Prophet that had arisen in Jtidea, and desired to be brought in his presence. Wheiher it was idle curiosity that prompted them to make the request, or heart yearning to know more about the salvation which he preached, the Word does not say, but in either case it was a desire which resulted in great things for them. They were brought into the presence of the Son of God. Now there are many like these an cient Greeks who have heard of Jesus, but who have never really become acquainied with him. It should be their desire to know him both with heari and mind, and for the following reasons : I. Because He is the wisest teacher ihe world has ever had. The world has produced many great teachers, but can it be said of any one of them as it was said of Christ, "never man spake like this man?" The world has made rap id progress and development, but the words which Jesus spoke, with such clearness and power, still hold first place in the thought of the world. The greatest and best teachers are willing to gather j humbly around the feet of the j Master, and study his messages, for they are eternal truths. They come from Him who is the source ! of all wisdom. No where else can . we find words that combine such ! wisdom and simplicity, such pru- i dence and courage, such faithful-1 ness and tenderness, and such power and beauty. Is it not of : the uimost importance, therefore, I that men should know Jesus be-, cause of the truth which they can learn from him? 2. Because He is the perfect 1 patent. The power of influence is re- j cognised by all. We cannot come ; in contact with a person who poss-; esses to a high degree nobility of character without being benefitted i by the association. A book which j contains the biography of some consecrated servant of God will do 1 much towards strengthening and j elevating the characters of its read ers. But the noblest character ever wrought out under the gra cious influences of the Holy Spirit is only a faint reflection of the ideal life which Jesus lived. If in the life of one frail fellowmar. we can find inspiration, how much more shall we be able to find it in that life which was in every respect perfect. Jesus, by his lofty exam ple, culls us away from things that are small and mean and useless, and leads us in pursuit of that which is great and good and useful. He directs our thoughts towards the highest, showing by his own life of devotion the way to gain the crown of eternal rejoicing. Become better acquainied with the life of Jesus for it means in spiration after things which bring breadth of vision, depth of soul and heights of glory. .V Lkcause He is the atoning Saviour. Behold Him, for He is "the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world." His blood I "cleanseth us from all sin." He openeth the way of escape for fal len humanity by taking upon him self man's great burden of guilt. He "bore our sins in his own body on the tree, thai we, being dead to sin, should live unto righteous ness." Friend of sinners, redeeming Saviour, and everliving Advocate, we would see Him and strive to dwell continually in His presence. We would sit at his ieet ana hear his words of wisdom, we would look ud to Him and be led on ro greater effort by his noble example. We would worship and sing his praises constantly, for He forgiveth all our iniquities, healeth all our diseases, and redeemeth our lives from destruction. Like the Greeks of old we desire to become better acquainted wiih Jesus, the Son of God. Rheumatism Sprains Lumbago Why grin and bear all Liniment kills pain? iIM'S LIMIMEMT All Dealers 25c Send four cents in stamps for a free TRIAL BOTTLE. DR. EARL S. SLOAN, Inc., Philadelphia, Pa. D.Pt B WHO KNOWS. Who knows who can tell where the summer goes With dew-drenched garments and sweet-scented hair? Where is the life that went out of the rose? The music, the sunlight, the laughter where? Who knows? What knowledge reveals where the freed soul goes When released from its prison-house of pain? To the realm of light or the place of woes; To the golden heights or the shadowed plain, Who knows ? At the voice of knowledge all gates unclose, lixcept the portals of life and death, It were pain to ask where the spirit goes. The secret of giving and hushing breath. God knows. A SONG TO BROTHER ROBIN. Thank you, Brother Rubin, for the red that's on your breast; Somewhere Mr. Mockingbird is dreaming in his nest; Where lights of Maytime gleam, He's singing in a dream, Robin, singing in a dream! Thank you, Mister Bluebird, for the flutter of a wing; Are you thinking of your sweetheart in a blossnm-lane of spring? Frosty field and stream, But soon the light'll beam; You're dreaming ol a dream, Bluebird, dreaming of a dream! Linger, Brother Robin, with tlu red upon your breast; Stay till Mister Moekin'bird is singin' 'round his nest! Weather's blowin' bleak, But spring a word'll speak And make the wide world wonder at the roses on her cheek! Frank L. Stanton. THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME. There's plenty of time for everything good, There's time to laugh when you're in the mood, Time to labor and time to sleep, But not a minute of time to weep. There's time enough to do your best; There's time to run and time to rest, There's plenty of time to strive and try, But not a moment of time to sigh, There's time another's burden to share, Time for praises and lime for prayer; Time for doing a kindly deed, But not a moment for grasping greed. There's time enough to gather sweet flowers, Time to improve the passing hours; Time to be sure you're on the right track, But not a moment for looking back. There's lime to do all you need 10 do; Time io be brave and strong and true, But no time to spare for sniff's and sneers, And not a minute to waste in fears. There's time to work for the kingdom of God, Time for shedding His Love abroad. Time to hope and patiently wail, But not a moment to spend in hate. There's time to try to understand, Time to enjoy the beauties at hand; Time to live without making haste, But not a minute of time to waste. The Liver Regulates the Body A Sluggish Liver Needs Care.

CASTORIA For Infants and Childrea In Us For Over 30 Years Blgattura of DON'T YOU DO IT. 1 Warning Given Those who Would Needlessly (io Into Law Suits l:or Spite. Whatever else you do, don't gel into a lawsuit over some trifling disagreement with a neighbor. That courts are full of suits which could have been settled by mutual concession fir by arbitration to the great advaniage of all parties ex cept the lawyers in the case. Just the other day a suit was decided after two or three years of expense and worry on the part of two fam ilies. It was over a disputed line as so many such suits are, and this land in dispute was probably not worth fifty dollars. The suit cost the winner $225, and the loser, be ing taxed with ihe costs, necessarily had more to pay. It is probable that each party spen nt Ii-h'-t $100 worth of time in monkeying with the case. Another case recently noticed, is where a farmer had a right to get water from a spring on a neighbor's land. He wanted to build a spring house, the owner objected. The first man had got along with out a sprighouse for years, it would not have damaged the land owner a penny, yet an injunction has been issued and a lawsuit is on. Each party will probably spend several hundred dollars and be no better off', and the old friend liness of the neighborhood will be a thing of the past. To begin a suit in court over some such trivial matter which could easily be adjusted by a little give and take, is not only the poorest sort of business policy a case of wasting certain dollars to gain possible cents but is also a crime against the community and a foolish waste of the best part of life. For what shall it profit a man if he gain a needless lawsuit only to lose the good-will of his neighbors and his own friendli ness towards them ? Progressive Farmer.

"Oh, how beautiful!" exclaimed j Hilda. ; "Yes," answered her mother, "but it will be all gone before noon lime." The little girl was quiet for a moment as she gazed upon the fairy-like scene that lay stretched out before her. Then she looked up and said brightly. "Never mind, mother; there'll be some thing else beautiful tomorrow." What a charming thought was uttered by that little girl in those words!
