In other words, the religious power that you see abroad in the church and in the world a hiding place, and In many cases it is never discovered at all. I will use a simil¬ itude. I can give only tho dim outline of a particular case, for many of the remark¬ able circumstances I have forgotten.

They have not anything especially They imprcR- not sive’in personal appoarauCo.

MANY BURIED ALIVE. Prizes For a Solution ol' the Problem to 15e Ohereil In Italy. The subject of premature burial Isjust now attracting groat Interest In Italy, ac¬ cording to a report of United States Con¬ sul Mantlus, at Turin. ‘ He says Glut realizing that there is atpros- ent no infallible test that may be applied to prevent the horrifying eases of persons buried alive, a number of prominent physi¬ cians and laymen are at work preparing reports on the subject. These will be made the striking feature of the Medical Department of the National Exposition next April at Turin. Reports of a similar kind are expected from all over the world. Prizes will be offered for the best solu¬ tion of the problem, and the Consul says inestimable good to the cause will result If the people of the United States interest themselves in It.

They know all about Him who is the only Haviour, but will no! submit to Him or he ruled by Him. 27. “King Agrippa, believes!; thou the prophets? I know that thou belie vest. ’* From verse three ft would appear that the king was well acquainted with the Jews and their affairs and the promises eoneern- ing them and their Messiah, but It Is not what we know that helps us, but. only the knowledge we make use of. ft Is not the food we look at; and cun talk about and even prepare for others that bene/ils our¬ selves, but only (hat widen we personally appropriate. We must receive Him. 28. “Them Agrippa said unto Jhiul, Al¬ most thou persuades!; me to be a (Jhris- thui,” Another translation Is, "Lightly art though persuading thyself that thou eunst make me a (ihrisUau.” The wojrd "(/hristiau,” so eomnion with us, is not a word much used in the JJiblo, being only found in two other places (Arts xl., 2d; J Pet.lv,, H >). The word “saint” or “be¬ liever” or “brethren” Is much more com¬ mon. 25). "I would to Hod that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost and altogether such addressing as i am, except these bonds.” He, was the king and the governor and the chief captains and mighty men, and yet felt that with the exception of his bonds he was hot¬ ter off than they and that wlmt he had they might wed 'desire to have,. What could it he? VVJiut but this, that l heir position transient, and honor were, but temporary and while he, though for a time their prisoner, was one with llim who was at Hod’s right hand, a joint, heir with Christ, a king and a priest unto Cod (Horn, viii., J7; Kev. I., 5, 0; v., 5), 10), and that he would surely In din*, time enjoy His heavenly kingdom. 80, ill. “This man doetb nothing worthy of death or of bonds.” This wyn the, con¬ clusion of the king and governor and. the other#* as they went aside after Paul had finished. 1 Pilate bore the same testimony concerning our Lord Jesus, and yet the Jews had Jesus crucified and Stephen stoned and James slain, and they would have killed Paul. Oh, how they hated Jesus of Nazaret b! 82. “This man might have been set at liberty if he. had not appealed unto Ca.sar,” Hhall we say, What a pity he appealed Father, to L;- sar? Or shaii we say, “Yes, my this is so, heeauso that Thou, bast found it good?” < M nth. ,vi., HO, French Testament). Sometimes God does directly, and some¬ times He permits to be done, but HeaJways overrules and control# for His glory and the highest good of Hi# people whom He unchangeably Jove# even In their per¬ verseness. if Paul erred, as I think from the testimony, in going to Jerusalem at tills time, the Lord still loved him, ap¬ peared to him anil will surely get him tv Rome, as be said. Lesson Helper. Professor Morehcad, of the Ohio State University, and two other men are soon to begin a systematic hunt for a buried treasure supposed to com¬ prise one hundred pounds of pure gold, that was hidden away hy two French¬ men on their way from the Great Lakes to New Orleans during the sev¬ enteenth century. Tradition has it that the treasure was buried at the foot of an oak tree near the site of Bucyrus, O.; that the two men died while with the Indians, and that the latter, fearing the spirits of the dead men, would never reveal the hiding nlace.
