Tsit: “To this end wot I born."—John XTlll., 97. PI J!S? had * u J c,ddd . tradition says that his body was thrown into the Tibi, and such storms ensued on and about tbat rlrer that his body was taken out sad thrown into the Rhone, and similar dig- turbanoes swept that rlrer and Its banks. Then the body was taken out and mored to Lausanne and put In a deeper pool, which Immediately became the contre ot similar atmospherlo and aqueous disturbances. Thongh these are fanelful and falte **!, w?*' ,h «r» how the execration with whloh the world looked upon Pilate. It was before this man when he was in full life and power that Christ was arraigned at In a court of oyer and terminer. Pilate aald to his prisoner, "Art thou a king, then? and Jesus answered, "To this end I was born." Bure enough, although all earth and hell arose to keep Him down, llo Is to-day empalsced, enthroned and coroneted Kin*.of earth and Kino of heaTan That ts what He oame for, and that ts what He aocompllshed. By the time a child reaohes tan yean of *P,o «he parents ba*ln to dlscoTsr tbst ehlld's destiny, hut by the time ha or she raaebesr fifteen years of age the question taon the ehlld's lips: "Whstshsll Ido? ” hat •**> I going to he? Whst was I mads for? It la a sensible and righteous ques- tion, and the youth ought to keep asking It until It is so fully answered thst ths Jonng man, or young woman, can say with as much truth as Its author, though on a less expansive scale, "To this end was I born.” Thera Is too much divine skill shown In tbs physical, msntsl and moral constitu tion of the ordinary human being to sap- pone that be Was constructed wltboat nay divine purpose. If you take me out of some vast plain and dhow me a pfllared temple surmounted by a dome Ilka 8t. vter’s, and having a floor of precious ‘ones and aroheathat must have taken tbs win of the greatest, draftsman to design hd walls sorolled and ntohed and paneled kd wainscoted and painted, and I should •k you whst this building was put up for, tad you answered, "For nothing at all,' 1 bow oould I believe yon? And It Is Impos sible for me to believe that any ordinary luman being who baa M his muscular, nervous and cdrebral organisation more Wonders than Christopher Wrsn lifted In |t. Paul’s, or Phidias ever chiseled on the Acropolis and built In suoh a way tbat It shall last long after fit. Paul's Cathedral Is /u much a ruin as the Partbenoo—that ■such a being was constructed for no other purpose and to exeeuto no mission and without any divine Intention toward soma 'mil. The object ot this aertnoh Is to help von find out whst you era made for and help you and your sphere and assist you ‘o that opadltlon where yod oaa any with t&ldty and emphasis and enthusiasm 1 triumph, “To this end was 1 born." • First, I discharge you from all respoaal- •lllty for most of your environments. Tou re not responsible for your parentage or Tsndparentage. You are not reepouslble or any of the cranks that may have lived nyouringestrmlifns and who. 100 years lefore you were born, may have lived a Yyle of Ufa that more or less afreets you \-day.

Neither are you reeponslble for •lace of yoor nativity, whether among ’raulte Mila 61 New England or the u plantations ot Louisiana or on the of the Clyde or the Dnelper or the 1 or the Belne.

So soma of tboaa who hava been characterised for stupidity In boyhood or girlhood have tarnaa out the mightiest benefactors or benefactroases of the human race. These things being so am I not right In saying that In many css as God only knows whst la the most appropriate thing for you to do, anil He Is the one to ask? And lot all parents and nil schools and all universities and all oolleges recognise this, sad a large number ot those who spent tbalr best years In stumbling about busl- nesses and oecupatlona, now trying this and now trying that, and falling In all, would be able to go ahead with a definite, de cided and tremendous purpose, saying, “To this end was 1 born.” But my subject now mounts Into ths momentous. Let me say tbat you are made for usefulueae and haaveo. I ludgo this from the way you aro built. You go Into a shop where there le only one wheel turning and that by a work man’! foot on a treadle, and yon aay to yourself, "Here Is something, good being done, yet on a small scale," but It you go Into a f aotory covering many aorta and you find thousands ot beads pulling on thou sands of wheels and shuttles flying and ths whole scene bewildering with activi ties, driven by weter or steam or eleotrla power, you aonolude that the faotory waa put up to do great work and on a vaat soale. Now, I look at you, and If I should And that you bad only one faoulty of body, only out musole, only one nerve, If yon could see but not bear or oould bear and not tea. It you had tha use of only one toot or one hand, and, aa to your higher nature, If you had only oLa mental faculty and you bad memory but no Judgment or Judgment but no will, and If you had a soul with only one oapaelty, I would aay not muoh Is axpaeted of you. But stand up, O man, and let me look you squarely lu the faoel Eyee capable of seeing everything. Ears oapsble ot hearing everything. Hands capable of grasping everything. Hinds wltb more wheels than any fas- tory aver tamed, more power than any Gorllaa engine ever moved. A soul that Will outlive all tha universe except heaven, and would outlive all heaven If the life of tbs other Immortals were a moment short of ths sternal. Now, what hat the world a right to expect of you? What has God a right to demand of you?. God It the great est of economists In the unlvtrae, and He makea nothing uaeleealy. and for what pur pose did Ha build your uody, mind and soul as thay are built? Thera are only two be luga In tha unlvsraa who can answer that question. Ths angtls do not know. Tha •choola do not know. Tour kindred oannot certainly know. God knows, gnd you ought to know. A faotory running'at an expanse of $600,000 a year and turning out goods worth seventy oenta n year would not be such an luoongrulty as you. O man, with tueh stml-lnAnlte equipment doing noth ing, or next to nothing, tn tha way ot use- lu Instil “Whst shall I do?" you ask. Hy brethren, my sisters, do not ask ms. Ask God. Thara'a some path of Christian use- fulneea open. It may be a rough path or It may ha a smooth path, a long path or a' short path. It may be on a mount ot con- splculty or In a valley unobserved, but It la a path on which you can start with such faith and auoh satisfaction and such cer tainty tbat you aan sry out In' the face of earth and ball and heaven, "To this ead I was born. Tou have oxamlued the family Bible and explored tbs family records, and you may have seen daguerreotypes -of some of the kindred of previous generations, you have had photographs taken of wbst you wars In boyhood or girlhood, and what you wars ten years later, and It la very Interesting to any one to be abls to look baok upon plo- turns of .whst hs was ten or twenty or thirty years ago. But bsve you ever had a picture taken of whst you may be'and what you will ha If you seek attar God and feel the spirit’s regenerating power? Where shall I plant the oamcra to take the pic ture? I plant It on this platform. I direct It toward you. Sit still or stand still while I take tbs picture. It shall ba an Instan taneous plcturo. Thorel I bsve It. It Is done. You cun see the picture In Its Im perfect state and get aoaa Idea ot what It will be whan thoroughly developed. Thera la your reaurreuted body, so brilliant that tha noonday sun Is a patch ot midnight compared wltb It. Them Is your soul, so pure that all tha force* ot diabolism oould not spot It wltb an Imperfection. Thera Is your being, so mighty snd so swift that Sight from bsavea to Mercury or Mars or Jupiter and back again to heaven would not weary you, and a world on oaqh •bculdcr would not orueh you. An aye that shall never shed n tear. An energy that shall never feel a fatigue. A brow that shall never throb with pula. You era young again, though you died of decrepi tude. You are well again, though you oougbed or ehlvered youreelf Into tba tomb. Your everyday associates are ths apostles and prophets and martyrs, and the most exulted eouls, masculine and feminine, of all the centuries. Tbsnrcbangel to you no embarrassment. God Himself your present snd everlasting Joy. That la an tnstan. taneous picture of what you may; be and what I am sura some of you will be. If you realise tbat It It an Imparfoet pic ture my apology Is whst the apostle John said, “It doth not yet appear wbatwe shall be," “To this and was I born." If I did not think so I would be over whelmed with inelauaholy.

Tba results ot a thorough investi gation ordered by Congress and just completed showing tha effects of ma chinery on labor and incidental ques tions constitute the thirteenth annual report of the Commissioner of Labor. The itatistiaa of oost reported involve only the aotnal labor expense. Tha report goes into detail, and among other things says: “In small-grain harvesting the self- binder has roduoed the time for out- ting, binding and abooking to abont one-eighth of tbat ender the primitive system. In threshing the 'ratio of time used is more than 91 to 1 in faTor of the maohine. In corn plant ing the old method took nearly ais times as long. "One of tho comparisons sliowe tho manufacture of 1000 oue-ponud loaveu of bread is reduoed in cost from $5.59 to $1.55, and iu time from 23 to 8 hoars; axle oUps, 1000 in quantity, from $233.88 to $4.27 and 600 to 23 honri. In making 600 ponnda of dairy tab batter maohiuery cat the oost down from $10.60 to $1.78 and from 126 to 12 hours. In diamond eutting maohinory has reduoed the time for font three-carats from 182 to 39 hours, bnt inoreased the cost from $14.81 to $20.25. “In lithographing the cost is out from $92.87 per 1000 oopies ot a speci fied size to $8.75 and the time from 106 to 80 bonra. In making tnntches tho time is out from 250 to 29 hours and the oost from $24 to $3. In printing and publishing magazines— 10,000 oopies—the labor rednotioa cited ia from 3170 to 14 hours and from $302.50 to $4.62. “Cigarettes, 100,000 in number, manufactured by hand in 1880 and by maohinery in 1895, cost relatively 897.44 and $11.48 and in time 990 anil 148 honra, the number of workmen also being rednbed from 27 to 18. Ja mining 100 tons ot bitnminons com the hand oost in 1891 was $77.8$ and the time oonenmed 842 hour*. Maohinery rednoei this in 1807 to $43.40 and the 'time to 188 hours, while the number of workmen also is reduoed from 42 to 32." CURIOUS FACTS. Btistian sailors are extremely fond of tallow candlse ae food. A pound of phoaphoras is auffloiont to tip one million matohes. An Australian sporting paper records a ninety-foot jump by a kangaroo. It is said that the ordinary carp, if not interfered with, would live about 600 years. Tobacoo seeds are so minute tbat a tbimblefnl will furnish plants for an sore of ground. The “oow tree" of Venezuela gives a fluid roaembling and possessing s close chemical affluity to cow's milk. Louis XIV. of Franoo drank tho first onp of coffeo made in Western Europe. Coflee was then worth $24 a pound. Gray horses are usuailv the longest- lived. Creams are deoidedly delicate, and are seriously affected by very warm weather. The inseot known as the water boat man has a regular pair of oars, his legs being used os suoh. lie swims on his baok, as in that position there is less resistance to his progress. Nine families in Bnrton, Kansas, hare their cooking done on the co operative plan, and thus ensure a greater variety of food at a less cost, and avoid the worry of direoting and paying several girls. A lady's gold watch was taken from a codfish's stomach, caught near the reef off Nantucket. It is supposed the watch was lost overboard from some ooeau steamship.

Mr. Greathouse, the American ad viser of the King of Korea, whose dis missal has been just announced, is a remarkable man with an udventarons career. By birth he is a Kentuckian, by profession a lawyer, by inclination a gonial jack-of-all-traden with a gen ius for story telling. He has been Attornay-General, politician, newspa per editor and Consul-General in turn. The Oriental manner of life exaotly suited hie temperament. He owed hie position in Korea to gifts as a tell er of stories. The King appointed him first Minister of Postal Affaire, and later to a position in the Foreign Office. His influence was great, bnt wan not undisputed. In February last be frustrated a plot against the King’s life. The conspirators, who belonged to tke Beactionary party, adopted Western methods so far as to emulate the example of Gny Fawkes. Twelve hundred pounds of powder were stored under tho Conncil Cham ber and connected by eleotrio wire. Mr. • Greathouse did not interfere with the plans of the conspirators un til the last moment, when he captured several of them rodhanded.

"I tblnk the moat thrilling experi ence I ever passed through wax In New York city one time," aald James O'Neill to a Lewiston Journal writer, “when quite by accident a number ot foreign diplomats from Washington, n few American statesmen, tome prominent New Yorkers and one or two of ua professional! wero gathered together In a smoking room of tho Fifth Avenue hotel, when somebody asked Booth, who by tho mereit chance happened to bo there, if ha woqjd not repeat tho Lord's prayer for tho assemblage. I was sitting not far from the tragedian when ho fixed hlx eyes upon the man who mnde the roqueat. I think thnt It was Lord Rackvllle West, at that time British minister to the United States, and I •hall never forget the peculiarly searching expression that Booth shot out of hla dark eyes. They seemed to penetrate tho very soul of the man at, whom, they were directed, snd then, as If aatlsfied, resumed their wonted vacuous density. “We wero all breathless with anx iety, at least I was, for seldoih-would be recite off the stage, but nt length ho arose, walked to u little cleared space at ono end of the room and be gan a recital that even nffr an tbose yeara makes mo thrill through and through.
