Ho took a towel and girded himself.
-John l'A'A.
Never was tho greatest of all greater
ban when he put about him tho oatige
mi the servant. Ills example has
tiade tho towel, tho apron, tho badge
f true honor. Nothing could have
urprised those men who wore quarrel
iig over their precedence more than
;Ut tills great Master should stoop to
.iDi-form this menial sen ice of wasii
'ng their feet. Like many who call
honisolvcs His to-day they strove over
h.'of seats, honors, titles, dignities,
hey wcro seeking tho chief places and
' )) tliclr strife showing themselves f.t
uly for tho lowest. Nowhere is the
onse of honor mbre oiiaily slain than
a the search for honors.
Tho only dignity that really adorns
1 man Is that which comes without his
loniauding It. But how ofteu have the
icrvautf of tho meek and lowly Jesus
.urned tho world away from Him by
j'aolr oxamples of vanity, greed, lust
for power, their pomp and pride of
Belf-ploiy. They who were sent to-be
ahopiierds of men have fleeced tho iloclc
for their own udornlng and then fought
amongst themselves to see who should
wear tho choicest robes. But historv
has ehov.'ii that they were wrong and
their Master right. The greater their
greedy ambition the greater tholr
shame tho higher tho place they have
claimed tho lower lias been that whi :n
the voice of humanity has awurdod
them.
On the other hand there shine forth
those who have followed Him in lowly
service; theirs Is tho honor to-day. Be
cause no took upon Him the form of a
servant then now is tho kingdom and
the power and the glory.
So it has always been, sovereignty
comes by way of service; heaven and
earth unite in honoring those who have
not scorned tho humblo place of help
fulness. John says that it was because
Jesus was conscious of His divine or
igin and His glorious destiny that 116
took the towel and did the work of
the slave. Only those who realize their
true groatness can Ignore tho littleness
of man's potty dignities, can lose all
Ronso of stooping, of condescension
when they serve others, and so can be
of scryleo to mankind. A man proves
that ho Is tho son of a heavenly Father
by his servico for his least ?)rother.
When that dignity, hoaven born, is in
a man's heart there is nothing in the
dirt ho may touch by deeds of kind
ness that can dollle him; contact does,
not contaminate.
Love never thinks of any of its ser
vices as loathsome. That from which
a superficial dignity would revolt lovo
does Vlth rejoicing. It thinks nothing
of the honor or the dishonor, but only
of the helpfulness it may render. It
Is not asking whether men are approv
ing or whether promotion is coming.
It nuecLs no promotion or approval; the
work ItRfilf is the highest reward; the
service elevates to the loftiest of all
positions.
Tho world's sovereigns are its ser
vants. He makes an alliance with God
who helps a fellow-iuan. Work is
tJwit by which tho Creator has lifted
man above the creatures of the field,
nnd the work that sacrifices that It
may tserve is that by which God lifts
man to himself. The heareuly gate
may be hut to robes and mltern, epau
lettes and crowns; but it hall bo open
wide to that great throng who bear
tho stuliis of toll, who hart eerred
their fellows, who wi i . ;..,u f
sacrificing service; and '. sou f.t
carponter shall lead ti t ' iu.

liy Bishop Samuel Fallows.
The distinguished scientific writer,
Elio Mctchinkoff, concurs in the dec
laration made In Genesis that the days
of man aro 120 years. Tho latent phyn
lologlcal investigations prove this to
be the case. By a proper understand
ing of the nebrew tho correct ages of
the patriarch aro brought near this es
timate. Adam was 130 years old,
Seth 121, Enoch lid, Methuaaloh 12-1,
Noah 150. The average ages of ten
pf these Old Testament worthies are
a little more than 120 yoars.
It la a significant fact that tho aver

WHAT INAUGURATION MEANS.
ay Roy. 'J. W, stockwuU
The preparation for tho lituugucatlor
ceremony of the President which tool
place at Washington has given rlso tc
the thought among some citizens us tv
whether this is not an occasion of use
less expense and time. It has beec
remarked that the matter of tho selee
tlon of Mr. Roosevelt, the citizen, tt
be the chief executive of this natior
was decided once for all at tho popular,
ballot taken last November. "Whfl
then," it has boon asked, "should theit
bo these, post-cllmaxes?" "Why should
there be, a number of months after tin
recording of the popular vote, a cero
mony like that of the electoral coK
lege?" "And what, indeed, still later,
Is tho use of this public ado about the
Inauguration?" "So much pomp nnJ
display," It has been said, "scorns al
most ludicrous when it is associated
with a government that is considered
.to be purely democratic."
Let us consider tho quostlon fairly.
Let us endeavr to see If thore is any
significance In this ceremony othoi
than in tho glitter and glory of it
Now, the careful student und tho un
biased mind will admit that thore an?

cal happenings of the human kind.
That there have been such laws be
comes more and more apparent ns on
studies history and sees how tho af
fairs of men have been shaped up
if by some guiding hand. Recall tlx
apparent arrangement of tho grea
world gtuge for the advent of G
upon earth. How else can we think o!
such arrangement, and combination o
race forcen than that they have been
somehow guided by an unseen hand?
The fact of this Influx of the dlvln
power into the office explains how I(
may be that men chosen for offices,
such as judges, magistrates or minis
tcrs, may, although In their persona)
lives be not exemplar, still in tho ac
tual work of their respective offices
conduct themselves wlso'y und usefully
nnd with regard to. the good of those
to whom thoy minister.

Mrs. Piiilclmm's Standing Invitation:
Women suffering from any form of
