Wo.:bin God,
Some Very Appropriate Re¬
marks on this Subject
By Rev, Z. T. Weaver.
0> 4 *
Text found Rev. 2 eliap, 9 verse. down
John was in the act of falling at
V angel’s feet for the tvaeposeof wor
" *g him, but the angel said : “See
r d ., not.” He knew that it w.»s
v. .V John to give him the homage
v,.- due alone to God. To worship
anything except the true God is idolatry,
and idolatry is abominable in the sight
of God. The praises of me * th.. are
frequently heard, are very far f o.u being
pleasing to our Creator. Parents not un
frequently lead their children astray by
pointing out some distinguished exam¬
ple among, men and encouraging the
young to fashion their lives after such
brilliant models. The pride of the Amer¬
ican mother is to instill into the mind of
her sou a love for the heroes ot the revo
lution. Washington is regarded by ev¬
ery patriot as the one man worthy of all
praise and all honor.
No one would detract for a moment
of the glory that belongs to the fath¬
of his country. Love and honor him
our common countryman, but no wor¬
is acceptable that man may give to
men.
The apostles are frequently cited as
moral heroes. That is all true,
bat they are not to be worshipped for
heroism.
* •
Paul and Barnabas repudiated the wor¬
that the high priest of Jupiter at
Lystra was ebout to bestow upon them.
They rebuked the people, aud said:
"Tumirom these vanities unto the liv¬
ing Goth ” The Almighty is sorely vex¬
ed when he sees the people running af¬
ter the creature instead of the Creator.. *
i • t
Nor is it light to worship the angtls
nor departed spirits. Tho Catholic blind¬
ly bows to the virgin Mary, aud be
seeches her to intercede with her son for
his relief. To worsliip the virgin is as true
idolatry as the Roman meijhod of wor¬
shipping the deified spirits of the depart
deaL
Mary was the mother "of Jesus, but
further than this she was no better than
other women. Our mothers and
and wives are fully equal to the virgin
Mary so far as their power to
with Christ is concerned. 1'l.e chief
m.'uts of the Roman Catholic
aro i^n ranee and Hip. £ tition,
two of the most deadly weights that
be hung about the soul. Away with im
ago worship!
Perhaps a larger number of mankhid
are worshippers at the shrine of

At’anta JeornaT,
tliXt you were born unless ytrR change

to reform. Be more manly than to go
dowfi to your graves, worshippers at such
a shrine. * t,V «*
John might liave asked how shall we
worship God ? By praying to Him di¬
rectly through Christ God, outside of
Christ, cannot be approached, w|ie* wc
draw near Him in prayer we must do so
by going through Christ Lastly we
must worship Him with our money. O!
this is the rub, to lead people to feel and
soe that they are to praise God by giving
of their substance for the support of the
Lord's cause. People have so little faith
that they arg afraid to give. It ie deny¬
ing themselves ope of the sweetest joys of
salvation. Itfis the same as saying to the
£.ord, “I do not believe yon,” when you
say tlrnt “the Lord loves a cheerful giv¬
er.” Swing out on the arms of faith,
and heed not the doubts of unbelief.
Does any man suppose that he can im¬
press the people with the sincerity of his
profession so long as he witholds from
the needs of the cause his financial aid?
The w riter hiia never had in all his ex¬
perience, had a dozen Christians to come
up voluntarily, and offer a contribution
to the Lord. They wait io be persuad¬
ed, begged and teased into giving. What
a sad truth that not one in a thousand
will propose to worship God by givjnj.
Some are great hands to pray long pray¬
ers, and my-snkes alive, what long-mind¬
ed fellows they are; what loud amens;
you can near them all over the house,
say amen ! uutil the shingles will almost
shake, but ask them for a few dollars to
help some poor widow and her little or¬
phans, and you do not got a single Cent.
“Yes, the preachers are always talking
about money.” So say the selfish Chris¬
tians. The reason why they say so much
about it is, because it is among the very
best tests of Christian activity. world A he man
cau not convince the that is
in earnest unless he worships with his
money. Consecrate a part of your means
to the service of God. May the. Lord
help us all to render unto Him His
rights of pniiso by submitting in the way
above described.

Occult Aid far Novelists.
Boston, March 22 .—The latest de¬
velopments of that beneficence
known as the “m ; .nd cure,” is in the
way of intellectual rather than
physienLpid. The woman who de¬
sires to produce a novel simply en
ga^es^a mind curer lo treat her for
writing. This is 4 different proc¬
ess than to treat her for a head¬
ache, for Instance. It implies the
highest older of metaphysical heal¬
ers—ono who is on the intellectual
rather than the n?jit£nal plane. The
healer simply “sees" the realm of
ideas, and silently assures her pa¬
tient that she is living in a tvorld
of thought, und harmonizes her so
as to bo receptive to it.
One iustanco of this occult aid to
a writer is rather a notable one.
The author was ill and felt arid said
* , • ; *
she should never never be able lo
achieve any thing again. Sho was
persuaded to call to her aid one of
the most remarkable metaphysical
healers of the day. She bus written
two or three books and has affinN
tie® with literature in the literary
life.’ The authqr to whom I refer—
,
whtse recent phenemenal success
has given her last work a world¬
wide fame—summoned the ho-Jer,
who for two weeks “treated hqr for
a novel.’ The result was—the nov¬
el. The occurrence is so interest¬
ing, as a bit of physic phenomena,
and is so entirely authentic,.that it
seems almost too bad to to “spoil a
story for relation's sake,”and not
give the name of the author, but I
should not feel at liberty to do so

Ostrich Farming in California.
\ pluck at tho Kenilworth os*
trieh.farm having been announced
for Monday. Feb. ll, a party of
visitors took the train from Los
Angeles for tho scene of this unfa*
miliar,harvesting. l^Tho “ostrich
farm, which is situated ithqiH ffoVfcli
miles northeast of Los Angeles, oc¬
cupies a very pretty valley at one
the foot, of ono of the coast ranges,
not far from the, Bui.brink station
on the Southern rnilroaJ.
Tho ostriches aro confined in a
humber of large corrals, in which
the birds have ireo rooij) to run
about, scoop out their primitive
nests and mnko themselves gener¬
ally quite at home’. Four of lh£?e
corrals are occupied by pfiirs ifljf lull
grown imported birds, at tho pres¬
ent In time occupied in laying eggs.
other corrals are ybtthg . birds,
natives of California, that appear to
be quito as hfeiiltKy and promise to
be as fino as their African parents.
Plucking the birds is by no
means a light undertaking, Tho
one thing which makes ostriches
manageable at all is that they can
not either fly or leap, or if they can
they arc not aware of their powers.
Hence, an ordinary post and rail
fence fivo feet high is sufficient to
confine bird 3 standing perhaps sev¬
en feet high, even when making the
most desperate efforts to escape
from tho hands 6 f their spoilers.
But if they cannot fly, they can run
and kick, and a kick from ono of
their great strong legs is an expe¬
rience which nobody cares to try.
Thus in catching them it is neces*
sary carefully to avoid tbs°y getting in
front of them, for. can only
kick straight fbrward.
When plucking is to begin three
men enter tbo corral and approach
tho birds. They try to get the one
they wish to catch up in a corner,
but as soon as the bird soes that his
host chance to escapo licri in the
open, ho races first down one “side
the corral, then up the othor, maks

strides nro enormous, but his great
feet and the muscles of his thighs
aro so strong that ho comes along
with a strangely easy, springy gait
in which very littio is seen of the
foolish awkwardness which is the
firtt characteristic to striko stran¬

Alter several quite vtiin attempts
to reach tho bird as ho runs past,

The Skins of
An able chemist and sanitarian,
M. D., Manwaring. who has made
the subject of human foods a spe¬
cial stud}*, says of beans that they
“are usually difficult to digest,‘^but
so important, q food that they can
hardly be dispensed with, The
outer coat or skin is the mischief
maker and should bo removed, for
the same reason that wo peel a po>
tato. To do this, previous to. bak¬
ing, after soaking the beans as us*
ual over night or longer, rub them
between|tho hands. A less troule*
sopne plan is to boil the beans, in*
stead of baking them and rub them
through a colander. Beans should
be cooked at least eight hours,
and preferably longer.”—Ex.
