Kings. 8:18. By their emotives men are both neasured and made. These are the motors, the engines of our humanity, fortune may offer many allurements md fate may seem to lay many a lash m our shoulders, but when and how ve shall reach the goal and whether Uiat goal ba worth, the race depends m the chafacter and power of the 'deals and desires within us. Many a life lies by the wayside, on ".he junk heap that on superficial ex amination seems to be an admirable piece or mechanism. It Hs there be-' lause it is just that and no more, only mechanism, Intricate, adjusted, pol ished, but powerless, valueless for .ack of a sufficient dynamic force, a power and motion of its own. Efficiency is a piendid thing, wholly lesirable and essential, but life de mands also-sufficiency, motive as well is mechanism. Schools and daily ex perience give us the training in effi- iency, but from within must arise the iynamic forces, the motives, passions, aspirations, and real powers . of the personality. The sun of cur motives makes the purposes of our. lives and this deter mines the course we go, the work we lo, the character we have, and the destiny that is ours. The deepest need of every life is a passionate purpose In living, an end and goal that calls forth all the possibilities and enlist3 all the powers. Life's purpose depends on Its philosophy; that, is your aim and goal will depend on your interpretation of the meajiing of life, on the answer which you make to life's significance. What is the meaning of it all to you? s it but accident or chance? Then you will drift without purpose. is a. bloody fight? Then you will wage war for yourself and against all oth ers. Are there yet higher purposes running through all? Then you will seek them. In a n:ost Important sense this an- Gwer -which a man makes to the enig ma of living constitutes his religion and religion becomes the dominating motive In life. For religion surely for us all, as for all people and in all time, is our conception of that which, for us, is highest and best, that which, because it seems to us to give mean ing to existence, furnishes the motives for whatever we may be and do in the world. This has been at the root of all high endeavor; this spirit accounts for all great and worthy work the world has seen. Because they have believed that existence has meaning only as it contributes to progress, only as it finds fruitage in larger, nobler being, they have rejoiced to lay down life if need be that the race might find larger life. Faith in the future, hope for our fel lows, love of that which is highest and best fuse together and make a suffi cient motive for living and toiling. And life is a tedious business, without such motives. A man becomes merely a part of the bread winning macmne, a slave bound to the wheel, unless he has some sense of his own life as be ing worth while for the contribution It makes to all life. Youth abounds with high motives normally; the years often blast them with the curse of cynicism. We des poil our own hearts and steal our own happiness whenever we allow the em bittering experiences of daily living to take from us the faith that it is pos sible to do goOd, to Increase the world's store of joy and strength and hope, and to 'make our lives worth something to our times. When all hai been said and all other ways tried we find that the only motives that give perennial satisfac tion and constantly strengthen the heart are the unselfish ones. One gets weary of gaining, but never of giving. Ambition falters on Its wings. But the aspiration to serve, to help, to bless, to cheer, to love never dies down. You may measure any man's re ligion by the extent to which it acts as a constant -motive, in his life, whether it gives him a vision of the life that awakens an enthusiasm for living, of a world that is worth liv ing in and dying forand a race that has such promise in itself as to call for the Investment of all that is worthy in us. In Christ Our Hope. Prayer is not the most effective thing in the Christian's life. Jesus Christ is better and more effective than the best prayer ever offered. In him, and not in prayer, lies our whole hope One who dated the beginning of his richest Christian life and experi ence from a time of prayer when he had asked everything and received everything, was reminded of this as he prayed later, in gratitude for his now blessings: "Kot because it, was an effective prayer, but because thou art an effective Christ, was my prayer so gloriously answered." ' Those who are called "mighty in prayer", think least about prayer as such,, and most about Christ Yet the more we think about Christ and the better we come to know him, the greater will be the place that, we give to prayer in our lives. .-'.

New Farming Opportunity SPUR FARM LANDS ARE FERTILE FARM LANDS On the murder of King Joash he was succeeded by his eldest son, Amaziah, a man of piety and force, who slew the murderers of his father, sparing their sons, and then turned up on the enemies of his country, the Edomites south of the Dead Sea, who had been ravaging southern Judea. He hired thousands of mercenaries from the Northern Kingdom, 'to aid him in the war. When a prophet re buked him for thus involving himself with an idolatrous nation he dismiss ed the mercenaries, who, on their way home, plundered , the cities of Judah. Amaziah went on, however, and with his own troops conquered the Edom ites in the Valley of Salt south of the Dead Sea, and thoroughly sub dued the cruel nation. He brought home with him some of the"- Edomite idols and worshiped them, thus dishonoring Jehovah, who had so signally helped him. in favor of gods who had proved their own powerlessness! A courageous prophet rebuked him, but we are told what the effect was. In his pride of success, and perhaps to avenge the towns which the Israel itish mercenaries had plundered, he sent a boastful message to Joash king of Israel, challenging him to fight. Jo ash promptly accepted the challenge, completely worsted Amaziah, captured Jerusalem, and went away with all the treasure of tho Temple nd royal pal ace, and with many of the citizens as hostages. Amaziah ' continued to reign for fifteen years, but his sub jects never were contented, and at last they rose in revolt and murdered him. The son of Amaziah, Uzziah, 'a lad of sixteen, was chosen by the people. Ho continued his father's conquest of the Edomites by fortifying Elcth, an important city at the head of the east ern branch of the Red Sea, thus put ting Judah in a position to renew the rich commerce with India which Solo mon had established. Uzziah's was a religious life.- He did that which was right in the sight cf the Lord. He followed Amaziah in the better part of hii life, and not in his idolatry. There is no better prep aration for the eyes of the world than to be conscious ever of God's eyes upon us. The period of Uzziah and Jeroboam was the golden age of Israel. As a result of conquest and of commercial enterprise the accumulation of wealth was greater than had ever been known before. The rich lived i-a palaces of hewn stone and of ivory. While the nobles flourished, the poor grew constantly poorer. The peasan' proprietors were crowded out, and all the land came into the" hands of a few great nobles. The free-born Israelites sank to the position of serfs. Pros perity has more perils than adversity, and pride is one of them. Dressed, ac cording to Josephus, in priestly attire, and perhaps on the celebration of some high national feast, Uzziah presumed to enter the Holy Place, which it was death for any but a priest to enter, and to offer incense upon the sacred altar. Uzziah appears to have desired to become supreme pontiff as well as king, and to exercise the same dual functions as the Egyptian Pharaohs were wont to do. He had to disregard the direct command of Jehovah that the priests alone should burn incense on his altar; he had to despise the his tory of his people, to defy the holy name by which he himself was called. Thus a reign of fifty-two years was spoiled in an hour. What terrible punishment came to Uzziah? The infliction of that most loathsome, incurable disease, leprosy. Thus Miriam had been punished, and Oehazi. According to Josephus, it was at this very moment that the famous earthquake of Uzziah's reign occurred. For the rest of his life he lived in a separate house. It was perhaps some place in the country to which the king confined himself. We are not told whether he repented of the sin that he had committed; but we may per haps assume that he did so. The story of Ahaz reinforces the warning that comes to us from the story of Uzziah. The pride of Ahai. was pride of opinion; that of Uzzah was pride in accomplishment Pride may spring from good looks, fine clothes, plenty of money, a keen Intel lect. ' distinguished social position. A boy may be vain of his ball-playing nd a girl of her white hands. What ever may be the source of it, pride is always a terrible danger. Pride is indeed like a leprosy.

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN "When my boy was about three months old his head broke out with a rash which was very itchy and ran a watery fluid. We tried everything we could but he got wrorse all the time, till it spread to his arms, legs and then to his entire body. He got so bad, that he came near dying. The rash would itch so that he would scratch till the blood ran, and a thin yellowish stuff would be all over his pillow in the morning. I had to put mittens on his hands to prevent him tearing his skin. He was so weak and run down that he took fainting spells as if he were dying. He was almost a skeleton and his little hands were thin like claws. "He was bad about eight months when we tried Cuticura Remedies. I, had not laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for a long while. I washed him with Cuticura Soap and put on one application of Cuticura Ointment and he was so soothed that he could sleep. You don't know how glad I was he felt better. It took one box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty near one cake of Cuticura Soap to cure him. I think our boy would have died but for the Cuticura Remedies and l shall always remain a firm friend of them. There has been no return of the trouble. I shall be glad to have you publish this true state ment of his cure." (Signed) Mrs. M. C. Maitland, Jasper, Ontario, May 27, 1910. Subject to Restrictions.
