fruit., the door of the world opened, and
the monster sin entered. Let the heavens

Do you not see, in tho first place, the d/tiU
ger of a poorly regulated inquisitiveness?
Hhe wanted to know how the fruit tasted.
Hhe found out, hut 0000 years have deplored
that unhealthful curiosity. Healthful curl-
osity has done a great deal for letters, for
art, for science and for religion. Jt has
gone down into the depths of the earth
with the geologist and seen the first chap-
ter of Genesis written in the book of nature
illustrated with engraving on rock, and if,
stood with the antiquarian while he blew
the trumpet of resurrection over buried
Herculaneum and Pompeii, until from l imit*
sepulcher there came up shaft and terrace
and amphitheater. Healthful curiosity has
enlarged the telescopic vision of tho as-
tronomer, until worlds hidden in tho dis-
tant heavens have trooped forth and havo
joined tho choir praising the Lord; planet
weighed against planet and wildest comet
lassooed with resplendent law. Healthful
curiosity has gone down and found the
tracks of the eternal God in tho polypi
ami the starfish under the sea and the
under majesty of the great Jehovah encamped
the gorgeous curtains of the dahlia,
has studied tho spots on the sun, and
the larva In a beech leaf, and the light iin-
der a firefly's wing, and the terrible eye
glance of a condor pitching from Ghhn-
borazo. It has studied the myriads of ani-
maleul/e that make up the phosphorescence
in a ship’s wake, and the mighty maze of
suns and spheres and constellations and
galaxies that biazo on in tho march of God.
Healthful curiosity has stood by the Inven-
tor, until forties that were hidden for ages
come to wheels and levers and shafts and
shuttJes forces that ilv the air or swim
the sea or cleave tho mountain until the
earth jars and roars and rings and m aokb-s
and booms wit!) strange mechanism and
ships with nostrils of hot steam and yokes
of ilre draw tho continents together.
I say nothing against healthful curl-
osity. May it have other and’other Leyden jars and
other eieetrle batteries, voltaic
plies, which arid other magnifying glasses with
to storm the barred .-astles of the
natural world until it shall surrender Its
last secret. Wo thank God for the geological
mechanical curiosity of Professor Hitchcock, and the
zoological curiosity of Liebig and the
curiosity of Cuvier, and the in-
ventive curiosity of Kdison, but we must
admit that unheaJthful and irregular in-
quisitivenesH has rushed thousands and
tens of thousands Into ruin.
Eve just, tasted the fruit. Hhe wan
curious to And out how it tasted, and that
curiosity blasted her and blasted all
nations. Ho there are clergymen in this
day, inspired bp unheaithful inquisitive-
ness, who have tried to look through the
keyhole of God’s mysteries -mysteries that
were hatred and bolted from all human In-
spection and they have wrenched their
whole moral nature out of joint by trying
to plunk fruit from branches beyond their
reach, or have come out on limbs of the
tree from which they have tumbled into
ruin without remedy. A thousand trees of
religious knowledge from which we may
cat and gee advantage, but from certain
trees of mystery how many have plucked
their ruin! Election, free agency, trinity,
resurrection -in the discussion of those
subjects hundreds There find thousands who of actually people

My subject also impresses me with the

arid over the generations that have fol¬

women have for good or for evil. I have
no sympathy, nor have you, with the hol¬
low flatteries showered upon women from
the platform and the stage. They mean
nothing; they arc accepted as nothing.
Woman's nobility consists in the exercise
of a Christian influence, and when I see
this powerful Influence of Eve upon hex
husband arid upon the whole human race!

woman can strike a blow which will resound
through all eternity, down among the dun¬

are wild, merry, picturesque creatures,
with flashing eyes, and havo various

They are all adroit thieves, and in their

Wild Horses of Montana.
Almost, anyone may own a horse in
Montana. If he hits not the $5, $10,
$‘20 or $50 necessary to puy for tho
blood and culture with which any par¬
ticular animal may be endowed he may,
if he has tho necessary agility, go out
on the range and take one, for there
are plenty that don’t belong to any
one else.
Hi nee the prices on horses fell below
the paying point many ranchmen have
neglected branding their stock or keep¬
ing any track of it, and in fret, there
have been a good many local efforts
made by the owners themselves to ex¬
terminate or drive the horses off the
immediate ranges that there might be
better grass for cattle and sheep. Jt
is very repulsive business, to a Western
man more especially than anyone else,
to shoot a horse, and a man who is
capable of it is regarded with rather
more circumspection than one who has
killed his man.
No, being protected by a spark of
sentiment, the herds of wild or mave¬
rick horses are really increasing and a
right royal breed of animals they are.
When the business was good, a few
years back, the Montana breeders were
the most, energetic, and progressive of
any in the west. They bought sires of
thoroughbred and trotting blood in
Kentucky and turned them loose with
their herds.
Others who desired size rather than
endurance went to Illinois and Canada
and purchased great Norman and
Clydesdale stallions. While the prices
ruled high the two classes were bred
separately but of late years they have
been allowed to run into one uniform
and homogeneous herd. The new breed
is of good height an.l strong-boned,
with lung power and endurance that
are suggestive of a greyhound. the
If conditions were to remain
same for, say, a period of thirty years of
longer, without any new admixture
blood it is reasonable to expect that
these herds would gradually assume a
uniformity of size, shape and color to
as great an extent as is noted in any
other wild animals.—Chicago Record

17. "For the kingdom of God Is not merit
and drink, but righteousness und peace
and Joy In the Holy Ghost.” As one has
said, the chief business of tile company for
whom Christ died is not eating mid drink¬
ing, but a right relation to God, our neigh¬
bors and ourselves. Fence and joy cyme
receiving by believing Him (chapter (John xv., l„ 13) who that Is, by
12), is our
rlghtoOusnosH and peace (I dor. I., 30; F.ph.
II., 14). All food ami raiment necessary for
us nro made sure to us In Him (.Until, xv.,
81-33). In these things s.-rveth
18. " For ho that
Christ Is acceptable to God and approved
of men." the Acceptable thing, or whether well pleasing to
God Is main men ap¬
prove jdo or not. When wo please God, tjiri /c‘o-
of <tod, who are themselves right, with
God, will surely approve. Others may con-'
dcmii. But consider Him who endured eon- '
(radiation of sinners against Himself lest ye
bo weary and faint (Heb. xll.,3). No one
< an be as well ideasing to God us tils Be¬
loved Hon, and His treatment from men
must be good enough for us (John tho xv., 1S-
20). Let us continually “serve living
and true (toil and wait for Ills Hon from
heaven,” and all will be well (1 Thcss. i.,
V, 10;. Let therefore follow aft.-r the
lit. “ us

wherewith one may edify another,” not

snokc of trouble even In households for
Ills sake. We are to preach peace, to live
'pence and to seek the peace even of our
enemies, but It must be in fellowship witli
Christ and never apart destroy from Him.
20. ‘‘For meat not tho work of
God. All things Indeed are pure. But it
Is evil for him who eateth witli offense.”
Jn verse IS we had, “Destroy not him,” an.J
here It. Is, “Destroy not the work of God.”
In Kph. If., 10, We read that "we are His
workmanship.” In what sense can this be
destroyed? It cannot refer to the loss of
the soul, for no truly saved soul can ever
perish (John x., 27, 28; lit., 16). But as
the Judgment seat of Christ Is the place of
judging hero referred to, where only the
saints shall appear to be judged for their
works as believers, I have no doubt that l
Cor. III., 14, 15, helps us to understand the
destruction here referred to.
2). "It Is good neither to eat flesh, thy nor
to drink stumbleth, wine, nor anything offended, whereby
brother or Is or Is
made weak. ” Heealso I Cor. vlil., 13. This
Is certainly unnecessarily a very self-denying line but of life the
and looks strict,
whole question of our life ns Christians Is
focused In self or Christ, Lord” unto myself or
unto Him. “Unto the Is the only
correct motto and covers even our eating
and drinking (verso 8 and I Cor. x., 31).—
