Vesuvius is becoming more and more
EcUve, and' those who live around it
are greatly alarmed. Experts are in
clined to consider that there is no im
mediate danger. The station of the
<able road which leads to its summit
has been destroyed. Four Engl'.sh
travelers, who were making the as
cent of the volcano, ventured too far
and were overtaken by the lava and
seriously burned.
There has been a special Issue of
war stamps from the Melbourne post
office for the benefit of the local patri
otic fund. There were only two de
nominations, the penny and the two
penny, the former selling at a shilling
and the latter at a florin. They were
y.ll practically sold in advance, £3.SCO
being realized. The designs were,
agreeably artistic, and represented
colonial troops at the front.
The Baltimore American says: What
Is probably the oldest family Bible In
this country, and without doubt the
oldest Dutch Bible, is in the possession
of Capt. George W. Wood, 1700 Etitaw
place. It Is almost three hundred
years old, and has been in his family
for nearly that length of time. In all
probability it was purchased by one of
his ancestors soon after it came from
the press, for it was brought to this
country in 1630.
“One-fourth of the lawyers,” said
Governor Shaw of Iowa, recently, “can
try a case no better today than wheel
they began.” “There are also women
who can cook no better than on the
day they were married, and are told so
three times a day." What commence
ment oration could better set forth, in
co-educational terms, the common
principle of failure? Not to advamce,
ps Lord Bacon Insisted long ago, is
simply to go back.
The old cherry tree (wider which Ed
gar Allan Poe used to sit, and in whoso
shade he is known to have written at
least part of “The Raven,” is to be cut
down. It stands in the suburb of New
York called Fordham, near the little
house in which Poe lived, and which is
known as the "Poe Cottage.” There
are to be street improvements made La
the neighborhood, and the cherry tree
Is in the way. Wood choppers have
the contract for cutting it down, and
it will soon be laid low. Dr. E. J.
Chauvet is the owner of the tree, and
he may have it reserved in the form
many relics, or move it bodily to
some other spot. The tree has been
dead for years, but it still stands.
A correspondent of the Troy Times
has been making big eyes—as welt be
might—over a copy of the Boston
Athenaeum of April 15, 1828, which
contained a picture, copied from a
London paper, representing a veritable
automobile a vehicle invented by a
man named Gurney, who had taken
out a patent for it. It was coach-like
in form, was designed for steam pro
pulsion, and could be easily controlled
by the driver. The description was
followed by a prophecy that “if his in
vention should reac h Us expected per
fection,” its economical character
would doubtless “lead to universal
patronage.” The expected perfection
is not yet; but "a man named Gurney"
deserves to be remembered.
Many years ago a New Hampshire
physician was stunned by the prema
ture discharge of a blast. He related
afterward the fact that ;n the moment
of the explosion he had time for the
swift passage of three thoughts
through his mind: ‘‘I am a dead man!
What will become of my family? We
are all in the hands of God!" Curi
ously enough, the prince of Wales
made use of this last impressive sen
ter< e on his first public appearance in
Knglaml after the recent attempt at
his assassination: "We are all in the
hands of God!" What if the conscious
ness of helpless dependence which men
feel in a crisis of extreme physical
danger could become a habitual at
titude of trust, aud thus a fountain of
joy ?

THE BIBLE. THE SUBJECT ON
LAST SUNDAY.
Sml Accomplished Thereby nn Etlilenre
of It* Dltino Origin—An Answer to
the Chenp Agnosticism of the Frcs
nit U«J.
(Copyrighted. ItOO. by I.ouls Klopsoh.)
Text. Matthew vil., 16, "Do men
gather grapes of thorns?"
Nof in thia country. Not In any
country. Thorns stick, thorns lacer
ate, but all the thorns ever put togeth
er never yielded one cluster of Cataw
ba or Isabella grapes. Christ, who
was the master of apt and potent il
lustration, Is thus setting forth what
you and I well know, that you cannot
get that which Is pleasant and health
ful and good from that which Is bad.
If you find a round, large, beautiful
cluster of grapes, you know that M was
produced by a good grape vine and not
from a tangle of Canada thistle. Now,
if 1 can show' you that this holy Bible
yields good fruit, healthful fruit, grand
fruit, splendid fruit, you will come to
the conclusion that it is a good Bible,
and all the arguments of the skeptic
against it. when he tries to show it Is
a bad book will go overboard.
"Do men gather grapes of thorns?”
Can a bad book yield good results?
Skeptics with great vehemence declare
that the Bible is a cruel book. They
read the story of the extermination of
the Canaanltes and of all the ancient
wars and the history of David and
Joshua, and they come to the conclu
sion that the Bible is In favor of lac
eration and manslaughter and massa
cre. Now, a had book will produce a
bad result; a cruel book will produce a
cruel result.
Effect on Children.
What has been the effect upon your
children of this cruel hook? Or if you
do not allow the hook to be read in
your household, what has been the ef
fect upon the children of other house
holds where the word of God is hon
ored? Have they, as a result of read
ing this cruel book gone forth with a
cruel spirit to pull the wings off files
and to pinion grasshoppers and to rob
birds' nests? A cruel book ought to
make cruel people. If they diligently
read it and get absorbed with its prin
ciples that cause must produce that
effect. At what time did you notice
that the teachings of this holy Bible
created cruelty In the heart and life of
George Peabody, of Miss Dix. of Flor
ence Nightingale, of John Howard, of
John Frederick Oberlin. of Abbot Lau
rence? Have you noticed in reading
the biography of these people that in
proportion as they become friends of
the Bible they became enemies to hu
manity? Have you not, on the con
trary, noticed that all the Institutions
of jnercy established or being estab
lished were chiefly supported by the
friends of this book? There is the
hospital In wartime. There are tw'enty
Christian women. They are binding
up wounds; they are offering cordials;
they are kneeling down by the dying
praying for their departing spirits.
Where does the cruelty crop out? They
have been reading the Bible ail their
lives. They read it every morning;
they read It every night; they rarrv it
under their arm when they go Into the
hospital.
Where does the cruelty of the book
crop out? Is It In tho gentleness of
their step? is It is. ‘^e cadence.of their
voice? Is it in tho sy*spath'‘tlc prayer
they ofTer at the Lcdside of the dying?
Your common sense tells you that a
cruel book must produce cruel results
When you can make a rose leaf stab
like a bayonet, and when you can
manufacture icicles out of the south
wind, and when you ran poison your
tongue with honey got from blossom
ing buckwheat, then you can get cruel
ty out of the Bible. 1 hat charge of the
skeptics falls flat In the presence of
every honest man.
The fliarjje of Iiitiilel*.
Again, infidels go on and most ve
hemently charge that thl3 Bible is an
impure book. You all know that an
Impure hook produces Impure results.
No amount of money could hire you
to allow your child to lead an un
clean hook. Now, If this ltible be an
impure book, where are the victims.’
Your father read It—did it make him a
bad man? Your mother read It—did
It make Iter a bad woman? Your sis
ter fifteen years in heaven died in the
faith of this gospel did it despoil her
nature? Some say there ate 200,000,
000 copies of the Bible In existence,
some say there are 400.000.0u0 copies
of the Bible. It I* impossible to get
the accurate statistics, but suppose
there ate 200,000,000 copies of the Bible
ahtoad. this one book read more than
any twenty books that the world ever
printed, this book abroad for ages, for
centuries where ore the victims'

vopiad hy a float many kssic And
yet I put before you this fact today,
that all the Bible writers agree in the
four preat doctrines of the Bibi«.
What are those four great doctrines?
God—good, kind, patient, just, loving,
omnipotent. Man—a lost sinner. Two
destinies—one for believers, the other
for unbelievers: all who accept Christ
reaching that home and only those
destroyed who destroy themselves:
only those who turn their backs upon
Christ and come to the precipice and
jump off, for God never pushes a man
off. he jumps off. Now. in these four
great doctrines all the Bible writers
agree. Mozart. Beethoven, Handel and
Hadyn never wrote more harmonious
music than you will find in tills perfect
harmony of the word of God, the har
mony in providence and in grace.
A Re»»»akable Fact.
You must remember also that the
' authors of the Bible came from differ
ent lands, from different ages and
from different centuries. They had no
communication with each other; they
did not have an idea as to what was
the chief design of the Bible, and yet
their writings got up from all these
different lands and all these different
ages and ail these different centuries,
coming together, make a perfect har
mony in the opinion of the very best
scholars of all lands. Is not that a
most remarkable fact?
Again, infidels vehemently charge
that the Bible is an unscientific book.
In a former discourse I showed you
that there was no collision between
science and revelation, and I went
from point to point in the discussion,
but now lot us have authority in this
matter. You and I cannot give forty
or fifty or sixty years exclusively to
the study of science that some men
give. Let us have authority in this
matter.
Infidelity Bion-Sulted.
Now, I might, as Infidels have failed
to prove that the Bible is a cruel book,
that the Bible is an impure book, that
the Bible is a contradictory book, that
the Bible is an unscientific hook—I
might move a nonsuit in this case of
lufldelity, the plaintiff, against Christ
ianity, the defendant, but I will not
take advantage of the circumstances,
for when the skeptic goes on to say
that we are a gullible people, when
he goes on to say, as he often does-,
that the greater the improbability, the
mo;e we like to believe it, when
he goes on to say that the
Bible is made up of a lot of manu
scripts, one picked up here and an
other there and another from some
other place and that the whole thing is
an imposition on the credulity of the
human race, I must reply to that
charge.
The Bible is made up of tlie Old
Testament and the New Testament.
Let us take the New Testament first.
Why do I believe it? Why do I take it
to my heart? It is because it can be
traced back to the divine heart Just
as easily as that aisle can be traced to
that door, and that aisle to that door.
Jerome and Eusebius in the first
century and Origen in the second and
other writers in the third and fourth
centuries gave a list of the New Testa
ment writers Just exactly correspond
ing with our list, showing that the
same New Testament which we
have they had in the fourth
century and the third century and
the second century and the first cen
tury. But where did they get the New
Testament? They got it from Irenae
us. Where did Irenaeus get it? He
got it from Polycarp. Where did Poly
carp get it? He got it from St. John,
who was the personal associate of the
Lord Jesus Christ. My graudfather
gave a hook to my father, my father
gave it to me, I give it to my child. Is
there any difficulty in tracing this
; line?
On communion day I will start the
chalice at that end of the aisle, an6
| the chalice will pass aiong to the oth
I er end of the aisle. Will it he difficult
to trace the line of that holy chalice?
No difficulty at all. This one will say,
"I gave it to that one,” and this one
will say, "1 gave it to that one.” But
it will not tie so long a line as this to
trace the New Testament. It is easier
, to get at the fact. Rut you say, ‘'Al
though this was handed right down in
that way, who knows but they were
lying Imposters? How can you take
, their testimony?” They died for the
truth of that hook. Men never die for
a lie cheerfully and triumphantly.
They were not lying Imposters. They
died iu triumph for the truth of that
New Testament.
"Well,'' says some one, "now I tun
ready to believe that the New Testa
ment Is front the heart of Christ, but
how about the Old Testament? Why
do you believe that?” I believe the Old
Testament because the prophecies
| foretold events hundreds and thou
sands of years ahead events which
afterward took place How fur can

Can you see ahead a hundred years?

All the striking at these chapters only
driving them in deeper until they are
clinched on the other side with the
hammers of eternity. And the book is
going to ke*p right on until the fires
of the last day are kindled. Some of
them will begin on one side and same
on the other side of the old book.
They will not find a bundle of loose
manuscripts easily consumed by the
fire. When the fires of the last day
are kindled, some will burn on this
side, from Genesis toward Revelation,
I and others will burn on this side, from
Revelation toward Genesis, and in all
their way they will nut find a single
chapter or a single verse out of place.
That will be the first time wo can af
ford to do without the Bible. What
will be the use of the book of Genesis,
descriptive of how the world was
made, when the world is destroyed?
What will be the use of the prophecies
when they are all fulfilled? What will
he the use of the evangelistic or Pau
line description of Jesus Christ when
we see him face to face. What will be
the use of his photograph when wa
have met him in glory? What will
be the use of tho hooks of Revelation,
standing, as you will, with your foot
on the glassy sea and your hand on the
ringing harp and your forehead chap
leted with eternal coronation amid the
amethystine and twelve gated glories
of heaven? The emerald dashing Its
green against the beryl and the beryl
dashing Us blue against the sapphire
and the sapphire throwing its light on
the jacinth and the jacinth dashing its
fire against the chrysoprase and you
and I standing in the chorus of 10,000
sunsets.
The HIM** In lli'ftven.
But I do not think we will give up
ihe Bible even at that time. 1 think
we will want the Bible in heaven. I
really think the fires of the last day
will not consume the last copy, for
when you and I get our dead children
out of the dust we want to show them
Just the passages, just the promises,
which comforted us here In the dark
day of interment, and we will want to
talk over with Christians who have
had trials and struggles, and we will
want to show them the promises that
especially refreshed us. I think we
shall have the Bible In heaven.
Oh, I want to hear David with hls
own voice read. ‘The Lord is my Shep
herd.” I want to hear Paul with his
own voice read, ‘Thanks be unto God
that giveth us the victory.” I want
to hear the archangel play Paul's
march of the resurrection with the
same trumpet with which be awoke
the dead. O blessed book, good enough
for earth, good enough for heaven.
Dear old book—book bespattered with
the blood of martyrs who died for its
defense—book sprinkled all over with
the tears of those who by it were com
forted. Put it in the hand of your
children on their birthday. Put it on
the tabic In the sitting room when you
begin to keep house. Put it under
your head when you die. Dear old
boek! I press It to my heart, I press
it to my lips.
"Where shall I go?” said a dying
Hindoo to the Brahmttic priest to
whom he had givpn money to pray for
his salvation. ‘‘Where shall I go after
I die?” The Brahmitlc priest said.
"You will first of all go into a lioiy
quadruped." "But," said the dying
Hindoo, ‘‘where shall I go then?”
“Then you shall go into a singing
bird.” “But,” said the dying Hindoo,
"where then shall I go?” “Then,"
said the Brabmitic, "you will go into
a beautiful flower.” The dying Hindoo
threw up his arms in an agony of soli
citation as he said, “But where shall I
go last of all?” Thank God, this Bible
tells the Hindoo, tells you, tells me,
not where 1 shall go today, net where
7 shall go tomorrow, not where I shall
i ffr next year, but Where I shall go
| last of all!

Perhaps the fastest reader the world
ever knew was Gladstone. He could
read and digest a novel of 50,000 words,
a scientific work as large or larger, a
political treatise or history by merely
glancing at the leaves as lie turned
them over. His eye and mind seemed
to photograph with the rapidity of an
instantaneous camera. His eye was the
lens, his mind the sensitive plate. In
his reading he was omnivorous to the
last degree. The most rapid reader we
ever had In this country was John <».
Carlisle, former senator from Ken
tucky, speaker of the house, sei retary
of the treasury, and now legal repre
sentative of a giant trust, with head

the most popular man In Kentucky,
says that Carlisle is the most remark

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON II. JULY 8 — JOHN 6:
22-40.
“Jesus SaUI Into Them. I am the
Itreud of l.lfe" — John — The
Feeding of the Multitude — The
Maims.
£2. "The day following'' the miracle of
the loaves (Lesson XII., Second Quarter),
ami the storm on the Sea of Galilee (last
lesson). “The people (multitude) which
stood on tho other side of the sea." The
other side from Genncsaret, where Jesus
and Ills disciples landed in the early
morning (Mark ti: 53). Those who re
mained In the vicinity of Ilethsalda, and
the place where the miracle was wrought,
or went buck to that place. "Saw that
there was none other boat there," etc.
This explains why they expected to Und
Jesus on that side of the sea.
13. "Howbelt there came other boats."
Show how these people were able to
cross the sen. If this had not been said,
some one would have suggested that
there was a contradiction. "Tiberias."
Thu principal city on the west coast.
"After that the Lord had given thanks."
Showing the deep Impression tnls sol
emn net made In connection with the
miracle. The multitude fed not only on
bread, but on bread blessed from heaven.
21. "They ulso took shipping boats.
The boats that came from Tiberias.
23. "ltabbl.” Master, teacher. "When
< asm st thou hither?" "When means, too.
how, and may have In It a trace of why."
— .Mucluren.
20. "Jesus answered," not tlielr ques
tion, but their needs. "Ye seek me, not
because ye saw the miracles.'' <Jr. niul
H. V., "signs." They were not attracted
by the miracles us signs of God's love,
as types and proofs that Jesus was the
Messiah, as Invitations to tiust and love
him. "Hut becuuse ye did cat of the
loaves, and were tilled." The verb means
"were satisfied us a beast Is with fodder.
— While-law.
2'7. “Labour not.” Work not; the same
word ns "work” in vs. 28-30 below. “For
the meat which pertshclh." The food for
the body.
27. “Hut for that meat (food) which
rndureth unto everlasting life.” Esc all
the energies of your nature in the wise
way, and for the wisest purpose. "The
Son of man." The Mt sslah, the type and
representative of the human race. "Him
hath God the Father sealed.” To seal
anything Is to attest by some sign or
mark that It is genuine, that It comes
from the person who sealed it with his
endorsement.
28. "What shall (or must) we do.” The
questions Is suggested by the command
to labor In v. 27. "That we might work
the works of God?" The works required
by Gcd, im order that we may obtain that
bread of which he had been speaking. Mo
one can eat for another.
29. “This Is the work of God." What
God Mds you do In this matter. "That ye
believe on him whom he hath sent."
There is no multiplicity of separate acts,
but the one great essential underlying
all good work- a committing of body and
soul to our Lord, who gives the new
heart and right spirit, out of which Mow
the works of God as naturally as waters
flow from a fountain or good fruit grows
on good trees. Ills word Is truth; his
commands are right; Ids example perfect.
30. "What sign.” The usual word for
"miracle” in John. “ShcwoBt thou then,
that we may see, and believe." True
faith must always have a foundation.
31. "Our fathers did eat manna in the
desert (see Ex. 10). "As it Is written.”
“Moses proved that he was sent from
Goil by giving the people bread from
heaven to eat; now what do you do that
Is greater than this lo prove that you are
the greater prophet.
32. Then Jesus said.” To prove his
claims and lo show them thut they
thought only of bodily feeding, while the
folding of the body by Jesus was but a
type of a richer, nobler supply, far more
dfflicult to bestow. "Moses gave you
not.” Hotter ns It. V., “It was not Moses
that gave.” He was not the source of
the manna. "Hut my Father giveth you."
The same God who gave you the manna,
hut holding u much closer relation to
Jesus than to Moses. “The true bread.”
Thut which fulfils absolutely. Ideally, the
highest conception of sustaining food.—
Westcott. "From heaven." The manna
came from heaven, as God himself said
(F.x. IS: 4).
33. "For the bread of God is he (better
In K. V., "(hat") which cometh down
from heaven.” “Christ does not Identify
himself with the bread till the next an
swer.”— West cot t.
Fourth Question. 34. “Lord (sir), ever
more give us this bread.” They probably
had vague Ideas of what this bread was
and may have thought of some miracu
lous supply, like that furnished the day
before, or like the tree of life In Eden;
though some may have felt the power ot
spiritual hunger and longed for spiritual
food.
35. "Jesus said unto them, I am the
bread of life." 1. By Ids death and
atom mi nt Jesus brings spiritual life lo
men. lie wakens tile spiritual faculties
and senses thut were dead to the higher
immortal Interests. He sends the Holy
.Spirit, who Imparts and sustains life.
“He that cometh lo me ... he that
believeth on me.” Coming and believing
are the ways In which this living breud
is rn pIvmJ,
gei. “Ye . . . believe not." You have
not eaten this bread arul therefore have
not had the experience 1 speak of.
17. "All l lint the Father glvcth me."
This Is the divine side of our salvation.
“Aral him that comet it to me." This is
