Saving Trouble. The husband of a fashionable wom an, whose gowns are at once the ad miration and despair of her feminine acquaintances, was discussing the cost of living with a friend at the Union League the other night. "By the way," ventured the friend, " er don't you have a good deal of trouble keeping your wife dressed in the height of style?" The woman's husband smiled and then shook his head, emphatically. "Oh, no," he said, "nothing to speak of. Nothing nothing to the trouble I'd have if I didn't."

CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY j! TEXT Nicodemus, ... he that came to Jesus by night. St. John 7:50. The gospels are marvels of conden sation. There is room for no idle word3 In them; superfluous statements are rigidly excluded. The importance of repetition is therefore apparent. We find in St. John's evangel a man named Nicodemus thrice mentioned in connec tion with Jesus. In the first reference It is noted that he came to Jesus se crely and by night. In the next two, one of which took place before the death of the Nazarene and the other after, the fact of that nocturnal visit is related, so that Nicodemus, the rich, wealthy member of the San hedrin, who was only a half-hearted disciple of Jesus, is always and for ever identified and referred to as a man who came seeking the truth secretly and by night. To trace his career Is interesting. His condition in life has been stated. Timidity was his prevailing character istic. He had insight to suspect the truth, mentality to acknowledge it, but not courage to live it and proclaim it. It is well that that lacking quality which prevented him from being num bered with the apostles should be brought to the fore, for he is a type of humanity by no means uncommon. He knew what was right, but he did not have courage to shape his life in ac cordance with his knowledge. His be lief was not operative. It was not practical. In politics he would cry loudly for reform and yet vote his party in the final test. The last scene in his life is tragical ly typical. When the man in whom he only half believed, whom he had de fended faint heartedly, whom he had Bought by night, was dead he came with unavailing tears and futile gifts to pay belated tribute, respect and af fection. How useless tnen! It re quired some courage, doubtless, to do that. He had progressed somewhat from his nocturnal and secret visits. Even his sorry touch of the Master had wrought that much change. Per haps that was the beginning of a greater change which would eventual ly make him a bold adherent, standing four-square for what he thought and believed. We do not know as to that. How often have we looked at our dead and longed for another oppcr tunity to show them the affection and consideration which we withheld in life and which the great termination has brought into our being as an il lumination. "Oh!" said the wife of a deceased clergyman to . a body of men who were passing resolutions after the death of their friend and telling what he had been to them, "Oh, gentlemen, f you thought thus of my husband why didn't you tell him while he was yet alive?" and the gentle reproof was well deserved. Do not be afraid to stand for what you believe. Do not proclaim your ad herence to man and creed secretly and by night, but in the broad and open light of day. Do not wait until men or issues are dead, and then seek to expiate your cowardice by a tardy, if expensive, recognition too late. It will only serve to show not what might be, but what ought to have been. In belief and action hold it firmly, live it fearlessly, do it now. Soul-Thirst For God. The soul thirsts after God because nothing else can satisfy. It is a great thing to learn that lesson. Estranged from God through the first transgres sion, the soul naturally seeks satis faction in things material and carnal rather than in things spiritual and eternal. Not until brought to ah over-, mastering sense and consciousness of the utter emptiness of all earthly things and their inadequacy to satis fy tho higher demands of the soul, will a man give place to the longings of the heart after God. It is a secona thirst. Every man's first thirst is af ter carnal things, and turning from these unto things spiritual and unto unbounded thirst for God, is a most wonderful transition. No man ever thirsts after God in vain. -He is both able and willing to supply every need of all his creatures, and since the redemption of the soul is so precious, why should he with hold any good thing' from us? Taking Up Our Cross. The cross is to be met with in little things as well as in great things; in the litle details of daily life; in our conduct with our friends; in the daily subjection of our crcaturely will; in the turning aside from these attrac tions which lead us out of the way of duty or the path of privilege; in the continual preference of that which savors of Gcd to that which savors of -man; in always putting his will first and our own will second; in never, do ing a thing merely because it pleases us to do it, nor shrinking from doing anything because it is painful, but it ever endeavoring to be guided by the desire to become conformed unto the nature of him who is our leader. It i-5 in such little things as these that the cross is to be taken up. Rev. W M. Hay, Aitken. Let your spiritual life be formed by your duties and by the actions-which are called forth by circumstances. Do net take ever-much thought for th morrow. Be "altogether at rest in lov ing, holy confidence. -Francis 'd' Sales. -' EBsha's Heavenly Defenders Sunday School Lesson for April 9, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT 2 Kings 6:8-23. Mem ory Verses 15-17. GOLDEN TEXT "For he shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep tnee in all thy ways Psa. 91:11. TIME According to most scholars, tins event occurred In the reign of Jehoram (B. C. 904-894, Beecher, 861-S49, Hastings). Mrs. Houghton, however, holds that the Syrian king of this story was Hazael and the king of Israel was Jehu. PLACE Dothan. a small town about ten miles north of Samaria, situated on a remarkable isolated bill, surrounded on three sides by hills. Traces of walls may still be seen all around the hill-top. Also Samaria, the capital of the Northern Kingdom. How did Elisha show himself to be a true patriot? By using for his coun try his supernatural knowledge, as we should use for our country our lesser knowledge, and all our powers. Assy ria was not at the time pressing upon Syria, so that Syria could attack her hereditary enemy to the south. But the plans of Benhadad II. were frus trated over and over. Elisha was then living in Dothan, about ten miles lorth of Samaria. Dothan was "a small town, of which some ruins and a well still mark the site." The caravan route from beyond Jordan passes, from the Plain of Esdraelon, close to it. Prob ably Benhadad's route on his preda tory expeditions lay through this pass, which was narrow and easily defend ed. Therefore when the Syrians' com ing was revealed to Elisha and told by him to King Jehoram, a comparatively small body of Israelites, posted a little north of Dothan, would effectually check their progress. How can we apply to ourselves E1I sha's advice, "Beware that thou pass not such a place?" By recognizing all places of special temptation, and being on our guard there. "Think of the men who cannot get past any gam bling resort to save their souls ! There are certain stores and hay-lofts and street corners and vacant lots that are more dangerous to boys than pest houses. There is absolutely no pos sible safety except in avoiding them." Boys, and men, too, beware! How did Benhadad plan to circum vent Elisha? Sending spies, and learn ing that the prophet was living at Dotham, he sent a large body of cav alry and chariots to capture him. To secure such a man was vital. It would at once deprive Jehoram of one who was inspired by the gods and put him at the service of Syria, for it would be as sumed that he could be bribed to help either side. How did Elisha, in the knowledge of his heavenly helpers, meet the Syrians? Our version, the Hebrew, implies that Elisha and his servant boldly went down from Dothan into, the valley, and that the leaders of the Syrians came down from the heights on which they were encamped, to par ley with the prophet. He prayed; for prayer is the recourse of all the strong est men in the time when they need to be strongest. Prayer is a powerful thing, for God has bound and tied him self thereto. He prayed that blindness might fall upon the Syrians, and at once his prayer . was granted. Not lit eral blindness is meant, probably, for they were able to follow Elisha to Sa maria, but a confusion of vision or of mind, so that they were readily de luded. Perhaps only the leaders were affected. Why did Elisha lead the Syrians ten miles to Samaria? To show them, and also to show the Israelites, how power less they were before Jehovah. Elisha made the pompous and confident inva ders appear ridiculous, which is the most thorough defeat that can be given to any enemy. Besides, one rea son why Elisha had led the Syrians to the capital was that they might ba kindly treated, feasted and sent back to Benhadad with coals of fire heap ed upon their heads. What is the great teaching of our lesson for modern people. The real ity of the invisible world, and its pow er to help and comfort. To have no sense of the invisible is the ruin of art. It is the ruin of all life also. Many will believe only what their uninstruct ed eyes can see. Christians should be continually up held by the realization of their angel ic helpers. The brave man need not see any celestial form with spear and helmet by his side, yet he may know as he goes out to the battle that the spirits of justice everywhere are sym pathizing with him and helping him in unknown ways. The mother may not discern an angel bending over the bed on which her child is laid, but still she may know that there are other watchers by its bed beside herself, spir its whom God has sent to see that none of his little ones take any harm. The soul in its bereavement may not look to see here again the very pres ence and feature of the friend whom God has taken, yet still may be sure that even now, in such unknown ways as soul may present itself to . soul, his friend is with him, for encouragement and strength. Pity we cannot now practice Elisha's plan of ending war. When the comet of October, 1858, appeared, a lecturer made a tour of some country villages in Devonshire with a view to telling the country peo ple some facts about the beautiful ob ject; and among other points he touch ed upon the calculations which astron omers had made as to the enormous ui Luc ian ui tne comet, countryman treated this part of his lecture with contemptuous incredulity "I saw the comet myself," said the man, "and its tail was just four feei long; and how are we to believe this man who comes to tell us that it jg ever so many millions of miles?" EASTER OFFERING "lips nn Season Helen Brace Wallace HERE is an instinctive sense of disappoint ment when It rains on Easter. We feel that the sun should shine and all nature be at her best and brightest on this day that is typical both of spiritual and physical reawakening. As far as we can we voice this joyousness in the flowers that are seen everywhere. There is a coldness in the church service that is not brightened by at least a lily or two today; it seems to poorly express the spirit of the Eastertide. It is good for us to have one day injthe year that is all joy. It is no tiiie for yielding to gloom or de pilssion. Life has so much of shad-r-4,that the road would be darkened did we never come out into the full sunshine. We want life and light and color around us; therefore we put the blossoms of spring in our win dows and wear them as we go to and fro. Other festal days have their tem poral distractions. Easter makes its strongest appeal to the soul side of us. Coming as it does on the first day of the week, when the busy world is resting, there is time to think of the higher side of life, to ponder on the deeper meaning of things that be. What means this joyousness of the season that is felt by all, if unexpress ed? Is it not reviving hope; a hope to brighten the dreariest, most dispir ited man or woman? Did not man believe in a hereafter, a future when wrongs will be right ed and sorrows turn to joy, the world would have stopped trying" long ago. The Easter Egg. I am the tinted Easter egg, at whose bespangled shell you peg with careful stroke of knife or spoon, regarding me as quite a boon. And as I feel your lusty stroke I chuckle gayly at the joke, for you I know are in the mesh of placards worded ' Strictly Fresh." You trust the crafty grocer man who sells his eggs just as he can and never is the least afraid to claim that they are "Newly Laid." The grocer man, he puts his trust In men who are not wholly just, for they sell eggs the whole year round and often in deceit are found, because they keep the eggs on ice until there is a raise in price. However, I would advise that you should turn your happy eyes upon the; timings of my shell the hues are laid on so well; the dreamy pinks and reds and blues with which the dye my form embues; or possibly I may present designs that for true art are meant a landscape or an ocean scene wherein there are faint hints of green, or maybe, limned with dainty grace there is a most bewitching face that smiles into your joyous eyes which shows the sparkle of surprise. ' Do as you please, but it is best to act, perhaps, as I suggest. Put down your knife with which you aim to crush my most aristic frame, and simply feast your inner man upon the pictures that you scan. For all you see and all you know; for all my cunning pictures show I may be of the overflow of Eastertime a year ago. Old masters may have painted me in some forgotten century and left me in some cherished hoard some ware house where fresh eggs are stored and it might fill you with regret if you should heed me not and let your appetite for works of art gain headway o'er your mind and heart. 0, listen, listen, let me beg I am a simple Easter egg, bedaubed with paint and drowned in dyes, but let me beg of you: Be wise ! How often do we weep to see things not what they're cracked up to be I Remember, I have made no claims I leave the dealers all such games; I may ba but a cheat and sham, but I am only what I am. Think over what I sav think twice; all men may profit by advice. If you should crack me to your woe, remember that I told you so. Now all my little speech is done. Strike! Strike, but first prepare to ( run I Even with all our faith that deaden ing question. "What's the use?" lurks in wait for us at every obstacle in the road. Did we not believe m what lies on the other side, though unseen, we would turn back like Pliable from, our miry Slough of Despond. Take away temporal hope from a man, from a nation what follows? For the man discouragement, inertia, despair, then uselessness; for the na tion disintegration. How much farth er reaching in its effects for ill is a hopelessness that this rough earthly path lead3 to eternal life. Are we discouraged today? Have the worries of the money-troubled winter hit us hard? Have we trials that none but ourselves may know, the more bitter that they must be hidden? Are we bowed under a weight of illness, of morbid dread of the future, that .will not lift? Let the joyous message of the Eas tertide bring healing. Hope is toeing voiced on every side today, in the swelling notes of the organ, in the soaring voices of choir and chorister, in the inspiring message that is pro claimed from every Christian pulpit in the land. It but remains for us to reach not for that hope and make It our own, to loosen the sordid, de pressing earth cords that have us tightly bound. The joyousness of Easter. Alas, for the woman who cannot feel it; who Is not lifted out of herself today. What though the old gloom returns? Is it not something to have stood on the heights and sung aloud with the joy of living; to have seen the sun piercing the clouds, to have caught a glimpse of the radiance beyond? Nev er again will the blackness be so dense, for is there not the hope of that joyous day when the sunlit heights will be ours, to inspire us to keep on climbing. Let us not be content to keep the season's joy in our hearts. Real joy ousness must find an outlet, in cheery greeting, in forgetfulness of old grud ges, in taking brightness into the lives of those who may be shut out from it. Wear your Easter flower, typical of hope, be heartened by the Easter message, but share both flower and message with those whose need of cheer may be greater far than yours.
