Why is it that a "Sanctified Christian"

HE MORAL OF PORT ROYAL.
.omething We Can Learn from
Teachings of History.
the
It is possible to crush and destroy
that which was meant in the mind of
God to be a power for good in the
church. And It la possible on the
other hand, for holy and noble souls
to make mistakes and to be overmuch
occupied In attention to one aspect of
truth, to forget that the whole la
greater than the part, and that the
whole body must be "fitly framed and
knit together through that which
every joint supplleth," If the body la
to be built up In love. There ia noth
ing which we more neglect than the
teachings of history; there la nothing
which will at once so cheer and ' so
warm us as those teachings. In a
book, the value of which la out of all
proportion to ita else, an eminent pro
fessor of ecclesiastical history has
told us how to use these teachings.
The diverging tendencies of spiritual
thought alike "spring from the teach
ing of our Lord himself. They are not
antagonistic, but complimentary, they
are both necessary to the church."
When shall we learn this lesson, when
will those who keep the Christian
creed whole and undefiled recognize
that there always must be divergen
cies? The Puritan, the Catholic, or.
as It Is so well put in Dr. Bigg's book,
the mystic and the disciplinarian, will
always be found side by side in the
Catholic church. The story of Port
Royal is the story of these divergen
cies in thought Jesuit and Port Roy
alist represented two tendencies. The
seventeenth century was not ripe for
toleration. Port Royal was crushed,
and crushed because it stood for
what was unworldly aa against the
.worldly world. From "The Story of
Port Royal," by Ethel Romanes.
IQ FORKS FOR ESKIMOS.
Table
Implements That Had
Made to Order.
Six hundred and forty forks, silver
plated and each a foot long, formed a
part of the baggage of E. Tunnell
Doer, who left Philadelphia re
cently for Point Barrow, Alaska, says
the Philadelphia Record. Each of the
forks weighed a pound and a' half,
and the whole accordingly weighed
nearly half a ton. The forks were In
packages of 10 each, 64 packages in
all, and the whole divided Into two
bales of 32 packages each. Mr. Doey
takes them to Point Barrow, the most
northerly point In American Alaska,
as presents to the chief Eskimo tribes
there and their members, in pursu
ance of a promise made two years
ago. Then the forks of a visiting
American party enormously Impressed
the 'natives, who watched their use
with deep interest Some criticism
having been offered to the small size
of the fork, which, perhaps, suffered
by comparison with a walrus harpoon.
Mr. Doey had these made to order. He
left for Seattle on his way northward
and expects to return with a large
supply of walrus Ivory, timing his re
turn trip with the "open water" of
1908.
Gigantic Potatoes.
Big potatoes which weigh aa much
as a man are not often seen. A small
consignment of them, however; has
just been sent off from the West In
dies. There were just six potatoes,
and each was large enough to feed a
big family. Tarn is the popular name
applied to this variety of giant sweet
potato. The tubers usually attain a
length of three feet and an average
weight of 30 pounds. Tarns weighing
from 100 to 150 pounds, however, are
by no means uncommon In the West
Indies and other parts of the tropics
where they thrive. In appearance the
yams look much like the ordinary po
tatoes on a greatly enlarged scale.
They are black or brown externally
and pale within, and are rich In starch.
When boiled they have a very pleas
ant favor.
Seven Years After.
A married man sat in a roof garden,
looking up at the starry sky dreamily.
"Why are you so sad?" "I'll tell you,"
he replied. "This morning I went Into
my wife's room in her absence, and
on a desk lay a packet of my love let
tersold letters that I had written to
her before we were married seven
years ago." He smiled, sighed, shook
his head. "Foolishly," he said. "I
read those letters. I read all of them.
Every word, every word." He gazed
at the stars that glittered above him
and at the lights of the city glitter
ing below.
Cause ef Napoleon's Fall.
There Is no doubt Napoleon fell
through the sheer dizziness of the
height he had climbed to. "The Due
de Raguse," says Comtesse de Boigne,
"once explained to me the nature of
his connection with the emperor in a
phrase which Is more or less applica
ble to the whole nation. 'When Napo
leon said, "All for France," I served
with enthusiasm. When he said:
"France and I." I served with zeal.
When he said, "I and France," I
served with obedience. When he said
"I" without France. I felt the necessity
of parting from him.' "

CAUSE OF ROME'S FATE.
Decay of the Citizen a Prelude to Its
Downfall.
Not long ago the Esqulline cemetery
was excavated, and there was discov
ered a pit 1,000 feet long and 300 feet
deep. It was an ancient burial ground
for slaves, who were thrown Into it
along with the carcasses of animals
and the refuse of the city. If It be
true that methods of human burial In
dicate the value which is placed on
human life, these Roman slave pits
are in themselves sufficient to indi
cate the spirit that lay behind Roman
civilization. The collective tyranny
was reproduced in the acts of the sin
gle citizen. His voracious egoism was
expressed in the boast of Roman cap
italists that their own domains and
their own slaves supplied them with
almost every article that they needed,
and made them Independent of the
fluctuations of the markets. That Is
the picture of a society breaking up.
It Is for such reasons that if the de
cline of an empire is, as Gibbon called
it, "the most awful scene In the his
tory of mankind," It is a scene which
cannot find its ultimate explanation
In the narrow formulae of politics
and economics. For a nation Is a col
lection of individuals whose actions
contain elements of surprise, and are
incalculable, and the sum of their
characters Is the national conscience.
Hence the national conscience may
vary from century to century. On the
private tombs of the Romans there
have been discovered dedications to
Nemesis. But we cannot measure ev
ery step of that long and lnsiduous
process of deterioration In their pri
vate character, which at last caused
her name to be written, with deeper
meaning, on the tomb of the state.
From "The Nemesis of Nations," by
W. Romalne Paterson.
ONIONS GROWING IN FAVOR.
Aromatic Vegetable Very Much in Or
der for Lunch Baskets.
Surely the famous London divine
who has sorrowfully declared that
more fortunes have been wasted in
dining out than In any other way must
approve of the simple luncheons which
society packs Into its baskets when
whirling away on an auto tour or some
other pleasure excursion. In fact, a
well known woman was heard to say
when givingorders as to what should
fill a lunch basket which was to be
taken along on a fishing trip the other
day, "Please have 15 or 20 onion sand
wiches put in." They evidently struck
the waiter as something new, for he
ventured to ask, "Did you say onicn
sandwiches?" "Yes, put thin slices of
Bermuda onions between slices of
bread. They are delicious, and In the
woods one can eat as many as one
likes." They have the added virtues
of being good for the complexion and
good for the health, and that is some
thing which women look for in tLeir
diet hi these days, when Invalidism is
out of fashion. Interesting Invalidism
the foolish used to call it, and the
real sufferers were generally those
who paid the bills.
Couldn't Stick Him Again.
A bishop accosted in Fifth avenue
by a neat but hungry stranger, took
the needy one to a hotel and shared
a gorgeous dinner with him, yet, hav
ing left his episcopal wallet in the
pocket of a different episcopal Jacket,
suddenly faced the embarrassment of
not possessing the wherewithal to
pony up. "Never mind," exclaimed
the guest, "I have enjoyed dining with
you, and I shall be charmed to shoul
der the cost Permit me." Where
upon the stranger paid for two. This
worried the prelate, who Insisted:
"Just let me call a cab and well run
up to my hotel, where I shall have the
pleasure of reimbursing you." But
the stranger met the suggestion with:
"See here, old man! You've stuck me
for a bully good dinner, but hanged If
I'm going to let you stick me for car
fare." Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
