tion made by tho Paul J. Rainoy
expedition in British East Africa, num
bering some fourteen barrels and thir
teen cases, has just been received at
the United States National museum,
and is being unpacked in tho taxider

mals obtainod. Mr. Rainey has do
nated tho entlro collection to tho Smlth
Bonlan institution and tho National

charge of tho preservation of mom-
mals in general, he paid special atten
tion to collecting carnivores and ungu
lates. In a Smithsonian publication, now
In press, Mr. Heller describes twenty
four4 new Bpecies of African rodents
found in tho collection. During the
trip Mr. Rainoy grantod Mr. Heller
every opportunity to make a complete
survey of mammals. His assistants,
twenty or thirty trained negro skin
ners, porters, etc., were employed by
the safari. 9
Among tho, material obtainod Is tho

whllo men do noti
rocognlzo God who

themselves, and
thcao are as nu
merous us thoso
of Egypt In tho
dajs of tho Pha

thoro is tho call on
God to givo atten
tion to himself
"Bo still, and know that I am God."
Ilod is Intensely interested that man
thouhl recognize him, nbt only becausoj
aian would thus greatly blosB himself,
but God'domnndB this recognition bo-,
causo ho la sonsltlvo to tho apprecia
tion of thoso whom ho Has created in
his own likeness nnd imago. Wo must
maintain this, notwithstanding the spe-!
:lous ploa that it would be lgnoblo in
God to demand such recognition.
TuIb matter can only bo Bottled by,
3n appeal to authority, and multitudes1
bcllovo that tho Blblo is such author
ity. In ExoduB 34:14, wo read: "Thou!
shalt worship no other God, for tho
Lord whoso nuino is Jealous, Is n jeal
ous God." Joshua called tho attention
of Israel to tho same characteristic in,
God when ho wiBhcd Israel to roturn to
God, to tho enjoyment of their dlvliio
horltago. '
In tho toxt God docs not ask man to
know him; ho simply nsks that wo rec
ognlzo him ns God, and nppeals in the
8th and 0th verses of this chapter
for tho uso of tho physical senses:
"Como, behold tho works of tho Lord,
what desolation ho has wrought in.
tho earth; ho mnkcth wara to coaBo
unto tho end of tho earth, ho break
eth tho bow and cutteth tho Bpear In
Bunder; ho burnetii tho chariot in tho
fire." Our attention is nlso called to
what wo havo heard with our ears, and
our fathers have told us what ho has
dono in tho timo of old. Wore not
God'B dealings with tho Egyptians to
prove that ho wbb God? WaB not God
back of tho blessing of Is
rael by Balaam, whilo Balaam's
purpoao was to curse? Has God
not set up ono and put down
another? Has he not despoiled tho do
vices of tho crafty that their hands
cannot perform their enterprise, and
has ho not taken tho wiso in their
own crnftluoss, and io not tho counsel
of tho froward carried headlong? And
what shall ho said of tho occurrences
of modern history,? Had God any
thing to do with tho earthquake in
San Francisco; tho burning of tho Gen
eral Schofiold, and tho sinking of tho
Titanic? Of tho latter ovent it la
Bald that In tho last momonts of that
fated vesscl'fl remaining afloat, all
classeB of people prayed, and tho band
played until tho very end, "Noarer, My
God, to Thee." And what waa this
but recognition of God, and possibly
with many, too late?
To say that God has nothing to do
with theso things on tho ground of
that it would bo vlolenco to tho reign
of law, dishonoring to him. aB nn in
finite being, and entirely rollovo man
of moral responsibility, is really not
.worthy of serious consideration. Tho
consciousness of God's immanence in
all such things would bo a deterrent
from sin on tho part of some, and
would bo an inceutlvo to good on tho
part of others.
How are men to know God? Simply

In tho fields at night nnd look up Into
tho starry heavens, It would not bo
for tho purposo of finding out God,
but ns ho gazed ho could not holp
but exclaim: "When I consldor tho
heavens, tho work of thy flngorB, tho
moon nnd tho Btars, which thou haBt
created, what is man that thou art
mindful of him, or tho son of man that
thou viBltost him?" As Mobcb would
havo Israel to recognlzo God, ho aald:
''Stand still, and soo tho Balvation of
God." As Isaiah would havo iBrncl
eco wherein their strength lay, ho Bald
thoy should sit still. So tho method
of knowing God is to just koop the
oyoa nnd earB open, to atop, look, lis
tenGod is horo, thero, everywhere.
Tho results of this will bo a moro
serious consideration of ono's obliga
tion to God. Tho lifo of tho Christian
will bo mado richer, nnd na tho dark

thoro will bo a preparation to moot
