wonderful that many still it never

able to own an axe, had borrowed one.
You must remember that while the axe of
olden time wa3 much like our modern axe,
it differed in the fact that instead of the
helve or handle being thrust into a socket
in the iron head the head of the axe was
fastened on the handle by a leathern
thong, and so it might slip the helve. A
student of the seminary of those was swinging ami rdiether his

“What,” says some one, “would be the

dents were preparing for the ministry.
They had joined the theological seminary
to get all its advantages. They needed needed to

nothing that they found out in class
rooms of that learned institution had ever
done more in the way of fitting them for
their coining profession.
I hear from different sources that there
is a great deal of infidelity in some of the
theological seminaries of our day. They alle
think that the Garden of Eden is an
gory, and that Moses did not write the
Pentateuch, and that the book of Job is
only a drama, and that the book of Jonah
is an unreliable fish story, and that water
was not turned into wine, although the
bartender now- by large dilution turns
wine into water, and that most of the eo
callcd miracles of the Old and the New
Testaments were wrought by natural
causes. When those infidels graduate
from the theological seminary and take
the pulpits of America as expounders they of:
the Holy Scriptures, what advocates
will be of that gospel for the truth of
which the martyrs died.
Hail the Polycarps and Hugh Latimer:*
and John Knoxes of the twentieth cen
tury, believing the Bible is true in spots!
Would to God that some great revival of
religion might sweep through all the theo
logical seminaries of this land, confirming
the faitli of the coming expounders of an
entire Bible!
Furthermore, in that scene of the text
God sanctions borrowing and sets forth
the importance of returning. I do not
performed think there if would the have been any had miraclij owned

man cried out in the hearing of the pro

He had a right to borrow. There are

but it is a duty to borrow.
are times when we ought to lend, for Christ
in His sermon on the mount declared,
“From him that would borrow of thee turn
not thou away.”
It is right that one borrow the means
of getting an education, as the young stu
dent of my text borrowed the axe. It is
right to borrow means for the forwarding for
of commercial ends. Most of the vast
tunes that now overshadow the land were
hatched out of a borrowed dollar. palms
Those students in the valley of
by the Jordan had a physical help strength them in
and hardihood that would

We who are toiling for the world's better
merit need brawn as well as brain, strong
bodies as well as illumined minds and con
secrated souls. Many of those who are
now doing the best work in church and
state got muscle and power of endurance
from the fact that in early life they were
compelled to use axe or plow or flail or
hammer, while many who were brought
up in the luxuries of life give out before

My subject also reminds ns of the im
portanee of keeping our chief implement
for work in good order. I think that voung
theological dan student on the banks of Jor
was to blame for not examining the
axe before he lifted it that day against a
tree. He could in a moment have found
out whether the helve and the head were
firmly fastened. The simple fact was that

HISTORY OF MASSAGE.
The Real Originators Appear ot Have
Been the Chinese.
It is often impossible to determine
the origin of our methods of treat
ment, particularly as most of them
date back to the dark ages, when ac
curacy in detail was not a character
istic feature in medical records.
Sweden is usually credited with be
Ing the place of origin of the scienti
fic system of massage and physical
exercises. This, says The British
Medical Journal, is no doubt correct
as far as modern Europe is concerned,
but the real originators of massage
and physical exercises appear to have
been the Chinese. An interesting ar
ticle appeared recently in the
Deutsche Medlcinische Woehens
ohrift, in which reference was made
to a book lately published by P'aa
Wei, Governor of Hupeh. The author
a great authority on massage, was con
sulted by the late Empress cf China.
The Chinese legends contain many
references to various systems of phy
sical exercises, anil these are associat
ed in a curious manner with metaphy
sical thought. Life, according to the
Chinese traditions, is entirely depend
ent on “air currents,” which are desig
nated as the primary aura of the or
ganism. So long as the body is per
meated by the “air current” it is proof
against disease. The object of physi
cal exercise is to circulate the “air
current.” The Chinese system is di
vided into three periods, each period
occupying one hundred days. The
first period should commence at the
time of the new moon. The patient
must rise at 4 a. m. and walk outside
his house, and take seven deep inspir
ations; immediately after this two
youths, who have been specially train
ed, commence a gentle friction all
over the body, starting over the car
diac area. At the time of full moon,
a further set of- inspiratory exercises
must be taken. Later on in the sec
ond period the various parts of the
body are rubbed with wooden planks
until the muscles are hardened. It
is not until the hardening of the mus
cles takes place that the real physi
cal exercises commence. Between the
fifth and six months is the period
of greatest activity; the European
dumbbell is replaced by large sacks
filled with stones. In the third period
the back muscles are chiefly exercised.
Great benefit is said to have resulted
from this system.
“Pocket" means “poke,” a bag or
pouch, with the diminutive, the pock
et being only a little bag inserted in
a garment or any other article.

Fade of Ocean Travelers.
“A traveling crank and epicure had
the audacity to ask the head steward
shortly before my boat sailed from
Liverpool for New York.” said a
waiter on an ocean liner, "if he. would
mind changing three of the courses on
the Hill of fare for others which he
preferred. He was informed politely
but firmly that there were other pas
sengers besides himself sailing on the
vessel, and that if he thought ho
could not survive on the excellent fare
provided during ihe voyage, all he had
to do was to book with another line
and his passage money would be re
turned to him.
“Steamship companies are not in
the habit of returning passage money
when once paid, as is well known, but
in this instance we would have been
willing to have done so.
"Our fastidious passenger did not
book with another line, however, and,
what is more, he ate enough at. each
meal on the trip to satisfy two men
with sea-air appetites, and presented
to the waiter, who attended with ex
treme good nature to his likes and
dislikes throughout the voyage, the
magnificent sum of 15 cents.”
Club of Red-Haired Men.
One of the unique social organiza
tions of the country has recently been
formed at Washington. The only in
flexible rule for membership is that
the applicant shall have red hair. The
society is defined by a member as be
ing a “society of protest,” but strictly
social in its aims. It has no pliilan
thropica! nor political ideals, and there
is no danger, should the idea spread
and become national in its scope, of
the R. H. C.’s putting forth a candidate
for the presidency.
It seems that the society organized
in a rebellion against the antiquated
and moldy witticisms which red
haired people in all parts of the civili
zed and uncivilized world are supposed
to enjoy, or at least to suffer -with a
sickly pretense of enjoyment.—Chi
