NOT KNOWING. I know not what shall befall me, God hangs a mist o'er my eyes, And at each step of my onward path He makes new scenes to arise, And every joy he sends me comes As as sweet and glad surprise. I see not a step before me As I tread on another year; But the past is still In God's keeping, And the future His mercy shall clear, And what looks dark in the distance May brighten as I draw near. For perhaps the dreaded future Has less bitter than I think; The Lord may swepten the waters Before I stop to drink; Or, if Marah must be Marah, He will stand beside the brink. It may be that He is waiting For the coming of my feet Some gift of such rare blessedness, Some joy so strangely sweet, That my lips shall only tremble with the thanks I cannot speak. Mary G.

BEST COUGH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN. "I am very glad to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" writes Mrs. Lida Dewey, Milwaukee, Wis.

No family with children should be without it as it gives almost immediate relief in cases of croup." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is pleasant and safe to take, which is of great importance when a medicine must be given to young children. For sale by all dealers. Advertisement) The English .of England.

Higher Critics attribute millions of years to this formative period. Bible studeuts accept the record that the Earth was already in existence, but lifeless. The Bible mentions days of various lengtbs. See Hebrews 3:8; 2 Peter 3J; John 8:50. There is no reason to think that twenty-four-hour days are meant in Genesis 1. God arranged a great Weeji of Seven Days for perfecting mankind. Six of these Days pre pared our planet for Adam, its king. The Seveuth Day lacks a thousand years of completion. During that period the Earth will be perfected, and man restored by his Redeemer to God's image. By many this period is styled the Millennium. The Seventh Day of the Creative Week began with Adam's creation and will be seven thousand years long. The Six precediug Days were seven thousaud years each.

account aoes not say max ioa maue grasses, trees, etc.. but that under Divine command the rartk brought forth these various kinds. Nothing in the Genesis account Interferes with an evolutionary theory as respects vegetation. Thus the Third Day accomplished its purpose. According to the Yailian Theory. the Earth was once surrounded by gaseous rings and belts, similar to those of Saturn and Jupiter, thrown off to a great distance, when the Earth was in a molten state. Held off by the firmament, they spread out like a great curtain, causing darkness. Then, influenced by the rotation of the Earth, they gravitated toward the poles, gra-i-ually cooling. Finally they broke. onj after another, coming down as great

deluges, burying vegetation, and depositing minerals. j The last ring came down in Noah'a i day. For centuries it had beeu a great watery cauopy, through, which sun, moou and stars were visible, but not clear. Under this canopy, the Earth was like a greenbouse. This accounts for vegetable and animal remains, found long embedded In The vork of H tif.k ice, w hich form- " ed instantly when the canopy collapsed as a deluge. After the fall of several rings, the. heavenly luminaries exerciaed their beneficial influences and served as a great clock, marking days, months and years. Thus the work of the Fourth. Day was accomplished. In the Fifth Day. the waters began to swarm with liTlng creatures. Next came fowl and great sea monsters. A measure of evolution is suggested by the statement that "the vatrrt brougkt forth abundantly," under Divine supervision. Only in the case of man doe the Bible declare a personal creation. The creation of land animals marks the Sixth Epoch Day. Flxh and fowl took precedence in time, as scientists agree. Again we read that "the earth, brought forth." but we also read that the Lord directed the matter. At the Tery end of tfce Sixth Day God errated mam.
