OBSTrictt. ma, f Sriiau Pw IwriiHw 1 In the midst of all this great work In Samaria, Philip Is commanded by a messenger from heaven to arise and go toward the south to a certain road through a desert place. That Heaven is really Interested In affairs on earth, that God Himself cares for my personal affairs, that He caretb for me as truly as He cared for Abraham or Isaac or Jacob or Hagnr or Samuel or Gideon or. the many others. to whom lie sent special messengers or special messages, is a great truth to bar gTasp one's souL Yet it U so plainly stated iu such passages as II Chrou. xvi. 0; Trov. xv. 3. as well as Illustrated la so many Individual cases that to question It is simply unmitigated unbelief. Here is tbe story of a great man in tbe eyes of tbe world who bad charge of ail tbe treasure of tbe queea of Ethiopia, a man who was well fixed. as far as this vrorld goes, but be erl dently had no rest la his soul, but a ! great hunger for something that money could not buy. lie bad made a long Journey to Jerusalem, tbe city of tbe great king, where the queen of Sbcba had once gone to see tbe greatness of Solomon, but he was returning home unsatisfied, cot having fonnd that which his soul sought s As he Journeyed he was reading the prophecy of Isaliu. It would be a rare tli!n today to find any one traveling by train r trolley or steamer reading such a book. Whether he possessed the book before be left home or obtained It in Jerusalem the record docs cot sny. but tbe record docs say that he read It as be Journeyed, ard that 13 tbe important thing. He was d:li gently seeking the truth. an-J he was noticed , la Heaven, aud events were ordcreil that be uiljht obtain what he sought (Jer. xxit. 13 1. God used 3 angel and a ciaa to brlr.3 it about.

The success of "The Lion and the Mouse." which will be seen at the Gennett tonight is an Interesting study, t Ida Tarbell's father waa a small oil producer in Pennsylvania. The Standard Oil company drove him to poverty and death. His daughter Ida went to New York and become a writer. She attracted the attention of S. S. McCIure. owner of V McCIure's Magazine. She wasn't pretty, but she had brains. . McCIure Is a judge of brains.; He engaged her and started her jon the History of tbe Standard Oil company. Her articles appeared in McCIure's Magazine ,H for many months. They wpre a terrible expose of the methods of modern, legalised pirates. Miss Tarbell was sent for by Rogers, of the Standard Oil company. She went to his office, as Shirley Rossmore goes to the house of Ryder, In The Lion and the Mouse. Nothing doing. Miss Tarbell could not be couped, flattered, bullied or bought. The articles ' continued to appear. They were eagerly read by Thomas W. Lawson and Inspired his" "Frenzied Finance" articles, which made "Every-body-s-Magastte-the talk of the world. Those articles inspired Charlea Klein. Result: The Lion and the Mouse."

That being settled, then It must be day by day. What wilt Tboo, or where wilt Thou! And to the reply there Is nothing for us but prompt and cheerful obedience. Philip was a man to whom aa angel or tbe Holy Spirit could talk. He had obeyed the voice of tbe anget and now tbe Spirit says. "Join thyself to this chariot-" So he ran to It and heard the man reading the prophet Isaiah and said to him. Tnderstandest tbon what thou readestr (Verse TA) We are reminded of our Lord's oft repeated similar question, as In M.itt. xiU. 1: xri. 9-11. and of Heb. xt 3. where we lonrn that the way to understand is to believe, ruillp4s Invited to ride In the chariot that

Philip was taught away by tbe 8ptrtt and from Azotus to Caesarea preached tbe gospel in all tbe cities tbrougb wbicb be passed. Our Lord was as ready to preach to osc as to hundreds, and If we are truly Kis followers we will be ready to do likewise. How varied was Phil ip's experience in this incident a long Journey on foot, a ride In a royal chariot, caught away supernatural!;' by tbe Spirit but. best of all. used by God to turn a seeklug soul to Himself! 7bat an Illustration of "for any man ner of service, wholly at thy com nandmenT Chron. xxrill. 211.

Ey REV. S. It DOTLZL Topic Life lesson for me from the Psalms. Ps. xlvl. 1-11. (Consecration j meeting.) 4i I The expression "for me Indicated In the topic has a special significance i as related to the rsalms. Every book! of the Bible applies more or less to tbe individual, but the Psalms In this respect surpass all others. No other book has been more widely, read, and no other has bad so many comments written upon It. Tbe reason for these things lies close to tbe surface. Tbe Psalms sre largely devotional. They are the expressions of the soul In Its tclatlon to God under the most varied circumstances. Tbe experiences of tbe soul are and always have been essentially tbe same, and hence when tbe soul Is cast down or exalted, when under depression - or blessed wltb i perfect trust, we turn to tbe Psalms to read the experiences of others under similar circumstances, and we never go away without a blessing. Tbe Psalms bare been a powerful factor both in church life and national life, but above alt tbey bare filled longing wants Iu the Individual life. If you hare urglectcd or are neglecting this book as a vncans of your personal growth In experimental religion and In all graces you sre making a sad mistake. In' the Twenty-third Psalm, for Ihstance. only the singular personal pronoun is used. Illustrating that they are "for me." The book of Psalms is a collection of sacred poems. sed In song and composed by various authors, but principally by David, and hence they are commonly called the "Psalms of David." They include historical references, confessions of men. MeealanJc prophecies, the outpourings of tbe soul hi times of donbt and despair and praises and rejoicings In times of implicit trust and joy. The book coo slsts of ISO Psalms, yet there is no division as to time or aa to the subjects used. Tbe Jews divide them Into five books, which division has been followed by the revisers of tbe Old Testament: Book l.-Ps. 1-41. Book 11,-Ps. 42-72. Book IIL-Ps. 73-89. Book IV.-Ps. 00-108. . Book V. Ps. 107-130. Nor are the divisions arbitrary. ' At the end of each one there Is a natural stopping place. Tbe first book closes with the , words. "Blessed be tbe Lord Gcd of Israel from everlasting to everlasting, amen and amen" (Ps. zJL 13); tbe second. "Tbe prayers of David, tbe son of Jesse, are ended" (Ps. Ixxit 20): the third. "Blessed be tbe Lord forcrermore. amen and amen" (Ps. Ixxxlt. 52): tbe fourth. "Blessed be the .Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting, and let all tbe people say amen: praise ye tbe Lord" (Ps. cvL 48): tbe fifth, "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord; praise ys tbe Lord" (Ps. cl.ll). Tbe Forty-sixth Psalm Is a lesson to tbe church and to us as members of IL In tbe midst of sll tbe trials of the church "God Is In tbe midst of ber: she shall not be mired. God shall help ter. and that right early." So it Is with our lives. ; God Is In the midst of them, and we need not fear though the earth and tbe mountains be moved, or tbe waters roar. "God Is our refuge snd our strength.' bulk REAonrcs. - Ps. t xv. 1-5; xlx. 1-14: xxlil; xxxvit 1-5: xlil. 1-11: lxvU; cili, M; cvli. 1-8; cxvi. 12-19; ct A Christian Endeavercr In Perl te meet.
