'Search th s Scriptures.
This passage 1ms fastened itself
«iii the writer’s mind lately, and is
a grand passage in our estimation,
and this question present* Itself.
Why are we (•omniauded to
“Search the Scriptures!” The
good Ikk)Icsays, “In them ye think
ye have eternal life and they are
they which testify of me.” lint
why is it neeessary that we should
search the Scriptures! It must la*
to learn Hod's will concerning His
people; hut why the necessity of
learning, if one is not inclined to
do what is commanded to lie done!
We 11ml by searching the scrip
tures that the Lord says, “What
soever thy hand tindeth to do, do
it with thy might.” Yet we find
a great many people who call
themselves followers of Christ,
surrounded with every comfort of
life, and even live in luxury, with
the poverty stricken, distressed,
sniveling, widows and orphans—
all needing sympathy and help
within a stone’s throw, almost; yet
they don’t seem to know anything
about it, and when they have
learned aljout it, the tirst question
is. what church do they lielong tot
Do they attend church, or would
they if they could! The Lord says
“Thou shalt open wide thine hand
unto the poor anil needy” (regard
less of denomination). For “pure
religion and undeliled before Uod
the Father is this; to visit the fa
therless and the widows in their
nflliction and to keep himself un
spotted from the world.” Are we
doing w ith our might what our
hands find to do! Perhaps so, for
a great many people don’t want to
find very much to do. Hut in
searching the scriptures we find
these words: “Present your Isjdies
a living sacrifice, which is your
reasonable service.” It is a very
easy matter to quote this scripture
and suy we ought to do this, that
and the other. Hut do we “I)o
with our might what our hands
find to do,” and follow the advice
we give to others. Wo hear peo
ple some times talk of stumbling
along through this life, but there
is no need of stumbling through
this world; but,on the other hand,
if we are doing all the good we
can, there is no cause for stumb
ling. “lie that walketh in the
day stumhleth not, but if he wulk
in the night he stumhleth.”
The greatest trouble with the
outside world is that they are
stumbling over church members
who don’t Ibid enough good things
to do, und have to do evil things.
We have several examples of peo
ple in the Kihle who did with
their might what their hands
found to do. Take for instance,
tiie throe Hebrew children, who
were cast into the Urey furnace;
Daniel, who was thrown in the
den of lions; Jeremiah, who was
put in the dungeon, and a great
many other old testament charac
ters. Then the widow who threw
her last two mites into the treas
ury; the woman who broke the
alnhaslcr box of ointment and
poured it on the Saviour’s head,

& SON
ami Stephen who suffered himself
to ne stoned for the cause of Christ.
Paul did what he could when he
presented his body a living sacri
fice, and fought the good fight of
faith; ami the great apostle John,
who was always fdled with the
spirit of Christ, did what he could
when he was banished on the Isle
of Patinos, for the word of Hod
and for the testimony of Jesus
Christ.
.Spirit filled people are the hand
iest people in the world; (in fact
the)’ are the only people that Hod
can use to any advantage). They
are always ready to take part in
any good work, and ready to give
an answer when asked a reason of
their hope in f'hrist. They can
talk and pray when an opportun
ity presents itself. They come into
the presence of the Lord with
singing, making melody in their
hearts to the Lord. They can
sing whether they haveany knowl
edge of the science of music or not;
because they “Sing forth the honor
of His name.” VVe learn by
searching the scriptures that all
will be judged according to their
works. “Every man’s work shall
lie made manifest; because it shall
lie revealed by fire.” last us la*
more earnest in searching the
scriptures, ami find what Hod’s
will is concerning us, and do with
our might what our hands find to
do. MKH. J. II. SUMMKItH.

Sack th* Urm Coat.
The modern cutaway sprang from
the body tilting JustuucorjM of the
French us known to the courtiers of
Louis XIV, and Louis XV., and the gar
ment was lu turu probably evolved
from the frock or tunic worn In the
fourteenth century.
The ttrst trace of a cutaway In any
thing like Its present form, says the
Hurtorlnl Art Journal, Is seen in old
prints of French military uniforms,
onrly lu the eighteenth century. For
civilian use It was worn in England
nlniut 1785 ns a riding eout, the tails
being very long. In 1803 It was adopt
ed lu France for walking ns well us for
riding and was then In shape and cut
much nearer the modern eutnwa.v than
any of its predecessors, though It was
usually double breasted,
Iflarly lu tint nineteenth century the
cutaway had eight or nine buttons,
only tbi> fourth, fifth and sixth being
used. This admitted of the weurei
showing fils neckcloth, fancy waist
eout and frilled shirt to the best ad
vantage. Not till 1840 or thereabout
did the cutaway become almost identi
cal with the modem garment and since
then the changes lu Its shape have
boon comparatively slight. In 1841 the
word "cutaway” became a fixture In
the language.
The old colonial uniform worn by
Washington, with Us flaps buttoned
back; the coat worn by Nelson nt the
battles of St. Vincent, the Nile and
Trafalgar, ntul the eout worn liy Napo
leon when on his way to St. Helton
were all In a general way similar to
the cutaway frock.
The conventional dress coat of our
time Is n refined younger brother, so
to speak, of the cutaway frock, and
for it we are Indebted to tlie French,
who on the other lutn l credit the Bus

Into France by Montesquieu in the
year 1750.
Incidentally, we may add. the pros

list; speaking nations been realri dial to
evening wear little more Ilian half a
century. In some continental coun
tries the dress coat Is “proper form”
for wear at court or other Important
formal assemblages held In the day
time.
The sack coat probably dates front
the "Macaronies,” who Introduced It
into England lu 1772, though a gar
ment somewhat similar was worn by
the Roundheads of Cromwell's day.
nail Rands Did It.
A farmer lad, so we'vo been told.
With a team of horses strong
Drove down the road with a heavy load.
While staging his merry song. „
Rut Ilia mirth In song was not so long.
For tils horses gave a leap:
As he ran amuck In the mud he stuck
Clear up to hts axles deep.

And a wheelman gay went out one day
For a Joyful, merry spin.
With the weather bright hts heart w&
light
As he left the country Inn.
But he went not far when he felt a Jar
Which started hts troubles and cares.
He was laid up 111. while the doctor's bill
Came tn with the one for repairs.
BAD ROADS DID IT
In an automobile of wood and steel
A millionaire prim and neat
Went out for a ride by the river’s side
In a style that was hard to beat.
But. alas, he found that the broken
ground
And the ruts and the holes so great
Had smashed a wheel of hts automobile.
What he said we cannot relate.
BAD ROADS DID IT
But we’re glad to say there shines a ray
Of hope that will right this wrong.
When in every' stats they will legislate
To help the good roads along
The man with hts wheel or automobll*
Will never again get the blues.
And the farmer smiles when traveling
miles
On a road that la fit to use.
GOOD ROADS WILL DO IT.
