IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS French Doy Caused Merriment by Tak ing the Order of the Court Too Literally. A droll incident is reported as hav ing taken place in ono of the pro vincial appeal court3 in France. A boy, about 14, was summoned to give evidence, and his appearance was such a3 to move the whole court to laughter. He wore a long redicgote, peculiar to the Casque country, and immense boots. His trousers, collar and hat were unquestionably those of a man. The court was convulsed, and the president asked the boy how he dared to treat the court in such a manner. The boy seemed as surprised as the president, and taking out the citation from his pocket, read the formula in viting him, "Comparaitre dans les af faires de son pere." (To appear la his father's suit.) Parents and Children's Faults. Parents ought to collaborate if.fUh teachers in helping to develop the best in their children, and consJ quently to eliminate the worst. In stead of this view of the matter wo (says Ella Wheeler Wilcox) find par ents taking a stand against the teacher who tries to talk of the faults of their children and discuss a rem edy, and all the work which the teach er has hoped to do in character build ing falls to the ground under the lifted hammer of the unwise and belligerent parent, who insists that "my child" must be without faults, and that the teacher who see faults Is an enemy, not a friend. It is sel dom, Indeed, that a man or a woman occupying the position of a teacher is prejudiced or has personal or selfish motives for criticising a child. In Demand.

Memory Verse 11. GOLDEN TEXT "Then the people re joiced, for that they offered willingly." 1 Chron. 29:9. TIME In the twenty-third year of Joash's reign, 8G4 B. C. (Beecher), 821 B. C. (Hastines). Joash was slain In the fortieth year of his reigrn, 847 B. C. (Bee cher), 803 B. C. (Hastings). PLACE Jerusalem, and the Temple. KINGS Hazael is king of Syria; Je hoahaz has succeeded Jehu In Israel; In Assyria Shalmanezer II. has died and Shamash-ramman has come to the throne. Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord while Jehoiada the high priest was alive, but after the death of that good man Joash al lowed the people to become idolaters again. Even during Jeholda's life, moreover, the worship at the high places was allowed to go on. These local sanctuaries were held to be con ducive to true religion. The Temple was his boyhood home, his safe ref uge for seven years from the murder ous cruelty of Athalinh. In the Tem ple lived hi3 best friends. There he had been crowned. No wonder he came to love those courts, and to sor row over their dilapidated condition. Joash called together the priests and the Levltes, and bade them draw from the regular funds for the Tem ple restoration. This money of the dedicated things, the money conse crated to religious uses by the people, was obtained from three sources: Money of every one that passeth the account: that is, the poll-tax of a half shekel paid by every male Hebrew above the age of 20 whenever a cen sus was taken. Money that every man is set at; "All the assessments. Money that cometh into any man's heart to bring: The free-will offerings of the people for thi3 purpose, which might be large. Tho church workers, even when they take thought for the church, have little heart in their work. "The facetious Sydney Smith had two yokes of oxen on his little farm in Yorkshire to which he gave the names of 'Tug' and 'Lug,' 'Haul and 'Crawl.' These would be appropriate names for a large class of church members who put no heart into their Christian work. It is mere tug and toil and task to them. There is a lack of co-operation. A minister called upon a member who had been neglecting the week-night service, and went straight up to the fireplace in the sitting room, and with the tongs removed a live coal from off the fire, and placed it on the hearth, then watched it while it turn ed from the red glow of heat to a black mass. The member in question carefully observed the proceeding, and then said, "You need not say a single word, sir; I'll be there on Wednesday night." No church fire can burn brightly if the coals are pull ed apart. Though many other reasons might be given for the failure when church work falls behind, it is all summed up in one cause, the absence of Christ. "Getting Christ into the people will solve the problem of getting people Into the church," and getting them to work when they are there. With the frankness and openness with which all church matters should be treated, Joash sent for Jehoida and the - subordinate priests and ask ed them, with some Indignation, "Why repair ye not the breaches of the house?" A, very simple plan was adopted, appealing directly to the religious zeal of the people. A wooden chest was taken, and a slit was made in the lid for the money to pass through. This was set beside the altar. How did Joash's plan succeed? Admirably; it brought In much money. People like to give directly to a cause, to know Just how their money is spent. They are far more likely to respond to special than to general appeals. The king's secretary and the high priest went together to the chest, counted the money, and put it up in bags. It wa3 then given to the over seers of the work, and they paid it out to the carpenters, builders, masons and the men that furnished the timber, hewn stone, and iron and brass. Noth ing was spent on mere ornaments everything was devoted to the solid repair of the fabric. In all , church work progress is made only by fix ing upon a goal and allowing nothing to turn one aside till the goal is reached. The crown of Joash's life Was what he did for the house of God. Such work will be the crown of any life that undertakes it. There is room In God's house for all kinds of work ers and all degrees of skill. Even the youngest scholar in the Sunday cchool can make a helpful contribu tion to the Temple service. Work for the church should be pro gressive; 'we should become more ef ficient church " workers every year. To this end It Is necessary that we begin young, just as singers and piano players begin young. Jack of all trades and master of none" is as true of church work as of work In secular callings. Every young Christian will be wise if he se lects some line of work for God and cultivates it as his specialty. It may be singing, or teaching, or social work, or administrative work, or evangelistic work, or the use of the pen. Whatever it Is, he cannot make the selection too early or begin too soon on his preparation. It will be tho very best work of his life, and it deserves the best years of his life and the fullness of every one of his powers. The Conditions of Discipleship By REV. H. M. TIMMONS Pastor Washington Street Methodist Church, Houston, Texas m TEXT If any man will be my Disciple, let him take up his cross and follow me. Matthew 16:24. Jesus is a great teacher and seeks to impart unto his followers funda mental truth. It is of utmost im portance that men have a correct con ception of Jesus Christ himself. Hence the question he asked the twelve in the beginning of this chapter, "Whom do men say that I the son of man, am?" What the world thinks of him is important, but he had a more per sonal question to ask: "Whom do j'e say that I am?". Then Peter speaking as the father gave him utterance, said: "Thou are Christ, the son of the living God." This is the basic fact of Christianity. Notwithstanding Peter gave utter ance to this great truth, the master In a short while administers to him the sternest rebuke that he ever admin istered to any follower of his. He then proceeds to outline the con ditions of discipleship, "If any man will." The highest expression 6f re ligion is not to be found In reason. Our conclusions cannot be infallible, because they are the result of train ing, and, in some instances, condi tions. Yet we should cultivate this faculty. The master never put a pre mium upon ignorance. Ho desires in telligent as well as faithful service. Neither Is the highest expression of religion found in emotion, though this is an important part of our natures. Strong men sometimes disparage emo tion. The emotions are productive of great good and much happiness, but they cannot be depended upon as final in religious expression. But the highest expression of re ligion is to be found in the human will. Christ is not concerned about who Is able, for he has made it pos sible for every man to Inherit eternal life. But he is vastly concerned about who will. One has said that the nor mal man 13 two-thirds will and one third intellect. The intellect is the shell, the will Is the powder within the shell that gives It its force and power. Tho feelings are the waves thrown off from the side of a great ship; the will Is the rudder under neath, unseen, yet all important. People who are governed entirely by their emotions are hard to handle and mako most of the trouble in any sphere. A great locomotive can draw a large number of empty cars, but they make a great deal of noise and it is difficult to keep them on the track. It is necessary for the church to pull a great many empties, but they are noisy and unstable. Religion is not the extinction of the will. When we say "Thy will be done," It does not mean the destruction, but the develop ment of our will to the point where it coincides with the will of God. Hugh Price Hughes has given an admirable definition of sanctification. He says: "It Is a supreme desire not to want to have our own way." "Let him deny himself." This means vastly more than physical self-denial. There is often a species of selfishness in self-denial. Men become recluses when they could be useful. Ages ago certain classes of men thought they had found the secret of a holy life. They shut themselves up in monasteries at large. They learned what we learn today, that the great est temptations are not the ones that come from without, but the ones that come from within. The strong man fortifies himself against the enemy that can be seen, then falls before the one that steals upon him irorr. within his own life. "And take up his cross." This In dicates a positive life. We are not told to fall under the weight of the cross, but to bear up under it. We are not to be passive, inactive men under difficulties but men of victory. Victory was never won except by ag gressiveness. The man of action, even though the action be not always com mendable, is more honored than tho man who ha3 the courage to act at all. Every person's cross is not the same, but crosses there will be in every life. Tis the power to bear the cross and not to let the cross bear us that determines the character of our discipleship. "And follow me." Christianity Is not a code of laws. Rules cannot be made for every future condition of life. Instead of It being obedience to rules and regulations it is a life to bo lived full and glorious in accordance with the will of God, which is revealed unto us. If we are willing we "shall know of the doctrine. "Except ye becotno as little children ye shall in'nowiso enter the kingdom." The master does not mean for us to become puerile and childish. If ever strong men were needed to do the work that God wants done, that time is now. What he wants is that we shall have the spirit of teachableness we find In the child. The child realizing its lack of knowledge seeks to learn. We are to have the same spirit with reference to religion. The spirit of God will not leave the willing mind in darkness. Finally Christian character Is not so much an attainment as it is a growth. At tho last It will not be judged by its accomplishments, but by the progress It has made. We should be proud to have a house that had been planned by a famous architect; but our life may be planned by the most glorious of all architects. HO WONDER. I. M. P.

The cause of rheumatism Is excess uric acid in the blood. To cure rheum atism this acid must be expelled from the system. Kheumatism is an inter nal disease and requires an internal remedy.

No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from somo other disease of the stomach and its associated organs, which im pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is week or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition contained in food, which is the source cf til physical strength. When a man "doesn't feel just right," when he doesn't sleep well, has an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach after eating, 13 languid, nervous, irritable and despond ent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. Such a man should use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition.
