far short of realizing God. He says God is a proper conception. He is more than thinkable, but he is not real. It Is with such that we would like to think for a few minutes, because the words of the text are a statement of historical fScts Moses saw God. Religion nowadays is realistic, or It Is nothing. The difficulty with most is that God being spirit, he cannot be ! tnado as real as if he were material. > We would note that the thought that ■ God is spirlL_does not preclude his j being made manifest in physical form If he chooses,' something which he ; has chosen to do in the past, although we cannot believe that in the text | such physical manifestation was in ; mind. Not only has God been realized ■ In the past, but he is being realized by i vast multitudes today, and only be- | cause of this is the sinful world borne | with a little longer. This manifesta- ; tldn, however, is spiritual. What is it to realize anything? The 1 dictionary says: ‘‘To perceive as a reality; to apprehend the meaning, reality, or real nature of; feel or appreciate fully'and vividly; and think of as real.” Can God be thus realized? This depends upon whether the spiritual is as real as the material. The great pregamatists, many of the leading statesmen, and men called to the highest offices in the land, are in the lead of the contention that faith in a spiritual God, a full realization of God, Is absolutely essential to the greatest accomplishments. How prove reality in spirit? Just as you prove the reality of electricity, and the agency that enables men to send messages across the wide seas without visible or tangible connections. There is a realization of the fact of the subtle thing whatever it may be. Why not apply the same principle to God? Man should realize a spiritual God because he is himself spiritual, this term not being used here in the strict evangelical sense. Moses realized God —he saw him. If a man sees a thing It is to him real, and while that is not absolutely sb, it is so generally accepted as true, that God in his word uses sight to illustrate the truth that is here presented. If we accept the proposition that Moses in some sense saw God, how much is that fact worth? Was Moses a visionary, a mere enthusiast or sentimentalist? Was that the conception of Angelo, as he carved him in marble? Was that the conception that lawmakers in all times have had bf him as the greatest law-giver of history? - Was that the conception that those who have studied him as a constructive statesman, making provision for private and public life, pure sanitation, and the most practical education? Was the writer of the text carried away, by sentiment and habitually given to exaggeration, or was he considered a great thinker, a man of religious and spiritual wisdom, and with an intellect to which reference is made by the enemies of Christianity as the greatest of the Christian era? With these two great men presenting this truth, should it not be accepted? So many men and women testify to the fact that they have realized God, that if there was any possibility of showing these that they were mistaken the wail would be that t>f the lower world. Oliver Cromwell, Gustavus Adolphus, Chinese Gordon, and others in the clash of battle have clearly recognized God. Among modern statesmen Gladstone, Lincoln, McKinley, Emperor William of Germany, and the president-elect. Wilson, and multitudes of others God is as real as their own existence. If we could appeal to the little company of men and women who have had the closest communion with the spiritual God, animated by the life of Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit, every mouth would be stopped. Man says, ‘‘l would like to realize God, I would like to practice his presence, if I knew how." We must first accept that the testimony of the spiritual sense in man is Just as reliable as that of the physical. As God aa recognized that man must have something objective before him, he has given his own son to become the historical manifestation of himself, 'what a leading minister in Chicago a {few days gao called the Christmas ananlfestation. Study God in the face of Jesus Christ, and he becomes real, lend then the spirit of man yearns to have communion with him. If a man realizes God, what results? Os, the many results we may suggest that hie loses fear, in which there is torment This explains the joyful singing of hymns as the martyrs went to the stake. Man gets power. Did not God use Dwight L Moody, a man fully surrendered to him, to revolutionize Christendom tn aa Important sense? Man as ho real-, tzes God rises in all those qualities that God gave him in his creation, both intellectual and moral No ends are worth living for today which will not be equally worth living for 50 years hence. Only true an> bitions can stand the test of time.—* Hamilton W. Marble.

I Boy Escapes Reformatory and Turns Over New Leaf. > Youth, Now Married, Writes Mother— Superintendent of School He Escaped From Causes His Arrest and Governor is ASked to Pardon. Denver, Colo. —Victor Hugo’s story of Jean Valjean in “Les Miserables” is duplicated in many of the circumstances surrounding an eighteen-year-old Colorado boy who three years ago ran away from the industrial school at Golden, worked himself into a good position and then, a year after he had • been married to a Des Moines, lowa, girl, found his past rising behind him, relentless as Hugo s Inspector Javert. Six years ago Rosie E. Sheldon’s father died at Glenwood Springs. A year iater the boy was sent to the in- . dustrial school for boys at Golden as incorrigible. The intervening year the | mother had lost all control over him and it was at her request that he was | taken in charge by the state. The state made a poor job of reforming Sheldon. Its method of curing high spirits did not succeed, and Sheldon ran away. The first few times he I ran away he was caught and brought back. Early in 1910 he managed to ' slip away and stay lost The officers I looked for him a few weeks and then I gave up the search, although they did 1 not forget Sheldon uwent tq Des Moipes, lowa. I 1 and there started out to do what the big state of Colorado had not been able to do. He started out to reform hftnself. He got a Job in the big Cownie glove factory at $lO a week, commenced to save his money and to go to night school. Before long his salary wak> raised, and then pretty soon it wa3 raised again, and he. was given a responsible position. x A little mere than a year ago he met and fell in love with the daughter of a Des Moines business man. The two were married and started housekeeping. Sheldon was so happy that he wrote to his mother in Denver to tell her about his wife and the baby had Just come. He told her the new name he had taken when he ran away from the reform school. The mother told some of her friends, | Sheldon’s younger brother, now in the school, heard where his brother was, and through some of these sources Superintendent Fred L. Paddleford of the industrial school board heard where his runaway had gone. It was not long thereafter that Chief of Detectives Johnson of Des Moines arrestqd Sheldon and took him to jail. Sheldqn told the story to the detective and begged to be released. Dispatches that carried the story did not state whether the detective had ever heard of Jean Valjean and the good bishop, but it is in the role of tho bishop that Detective Johnson figures from now on. He promised the boy that although he couldn’t let him go he would take an appeal direct to the governor of Colorado and ask him to grant a pardon to the runaway boy who had made good. Governor Shaforth said that he would act in the case as soon as it was officially called to his attention and would take whatever action the facts might warrant. Superintendent Fred L. Paddleford of the school declared that the boy must be returned to the school “for the sake of discipline.” “The fact that Sheldon is married and apparently doing all right now ean’t be taken as any excuse," the superintendent said. “The only way we have to preserve order here and to

Alberta. —Bishop Stringer of the Yukon diocese, the largest in the dominion, who is returning to his pest in the north country, announced that Rev. W. H. Fry and 12 natives are on the way to Coronation Gulf, near the mouth of the Copper Mine river, to visit a tribe of white Eskimos discovered by Steffansson, an ex- ' plorer. It is expected that the party will reach the gulf next October, bej fore the close of navigation. The bishop has no doubt there ar® other tribes of Eskimos In the far north. He was stationed on Herechell island seven years and has been as far north as 73 degrees latitude on a whaling trip. At times the thermometer registered 69 below. He has also visited many hitherto unknown places in northern Canada, suffering hardships and endangering his life on numerous { occasions. | NEW YORK CAPITAL OF VICE s. H.

Complaint by Foreigners on New In- , surance Levy—Workers Especially Feel Burden. Berlin. —Foreigners employed 1° Berlin and other German cities whose salary or income is SIOO a month or less are complaining bitterly over the new government insurance law which went in effect the first of the year. This new law suspends all private sick insurance, which is replaced with a government insurance system. It is compulsory on foreigners residing in the empire as well as on Germans. So far as foreigners are concerned, It affects principally teachers, governesses, office employes, etc. The annual cost varies from $5 a year for those whose salary does not exceed $125 a year to S7B annual premium for those whose salary Is between SBO and SIOO a month. The law provides that half of the cost of insurance must be paid by the employer and half by the insured. As a salary gs SIOO a month also calls for an annual income tax of S7O, such an employe Is compelled to pay $9 a month for tax and insurance. Should the Insured leave Germany permanently during the first ten years he has no claim for the return of premiums paid and loses his rights to benefits under the act As the majority of foreigners remain only two or three years, coming largely for the purpose of studying, few will have claims on the premiums paid. Only such persons as were insured in foreign insurance companies doing business in Germany are exempted from the provisions of the law. There Is but one American company doing business in Germany.

It appears that the bishop recently took tea with some parishioners and-the vicar felt himself called upon to give his lordship “some wholesome advice against the pernicious habit” of tea drinking whereupon the bishop byway of reply calmly produced a tobacco pouch add pipe and started smoking in the presence of his horrified rebuker.

He believed that only individual policemen were concerned in the business and doubted that the number of these officers would exceed 100 out of 10,000 men on the force. finger print is outdone Accused Burglar Conies to Grief in France When Imprint of Tooth in Butter Is Viewed. Paris. —Even the finger-print method of obtaining evidence against criminals has been excelled by the police in establishing a burglar’s Identity from the tooth marks which he left in a pat of butter. Pierre Bassaud, held on a charge of burglary, broke into his former em ployer’s premises at Montreuil-Sous-Bois. Falling to discover any valua bles, he went to the kitchen and had a feast. When arrested he denied th« charge, but the police found the marks of his teeth, including one which was broken, exactly reproduced in a lumj of butter into which he had probably bitten by mistake in the dark.

TRUCK GARDENING/ AND POULTRY RAISING THESE, AS WELL AS OTHER MIXED FARMING BRANCHES, PAY IN WESTERN CANADA. Truck gardening and poultry growing are two branches of agriculture In which the farmers near the main lines of the three transcontinental lines traversing Western Canada are much concerned. The abundance of sunshine during the long days from May to September, and adequate moisture in the spring and early summer permit of a wide variety of crops. The soil is rich and warm and is easily worked. Close attention to cultivation has resulted in record yields of all sorts of vegetable and small fruits which bring good prices in the cities and at the numerous railway construction camps. Mr. Harris Oium, an Alberta farmer, came from South Dakota eleven years , ago and homesteaded the first 160 acres in his township in 1902, which was divided between grain and pasture. He earned sufficient money to ; buy a quarter section of railway land at sll an acre. The half section netted proportionate i)roflts and he gradually i Increased his holdings to 1,920 acres, I which was devoted to mixed farming last year. He values his land at SSO | an acre. Mr. Oium markets from 100 to 125 1 hogs and a similar number of beef cattle each year. He has 200 hogs, mostly pure bred Poland China, 25 bead draft horses and 35 head of pure bred Hereford cattle. By feeding bar- | ley to hogs he estimates that the grain nets him 80 cents a bushel, as compared with 40 cents, the average market price when delivered to the warehouse. His average crop of barley is 40 bushels to the acre, while oats average .80 bushels.

British Seamen’s Thrift. For the years 1855 to 1912 the number of British seamen’s money orders I issued at ports in the United Kingdom and abroad was 3,365,489, of the value of over £19,000,000. On March 31 last, anly 742 of these orders remained unpaid, their value being £ 7,060. The total amount of seamen’s wages transmitted home between 1878 and 1912 was £5,500,000. and the amount transmitted foreign between 189+ and 1912 was over £1,000,000.— “Shipping” Illustrated.
