Inlernatioual S. S. Lesson for
April S3, 1899.
Furnished by the S. S. Union. .
JE8US THE WAY, THE TBUTH, AND
THE life. John 14: 114.
Golden Text,—“Jesus saith
unto him, I~am the way, the trath,
aud the lire.” JoBn'14':6.
It ia not a complimentary ver
dict of the human family, bat true
because God said it: “The heart
is deceitful above all things and
desperately wicked.” That means
U3. Some people may deny it, or
want to argue the matter, or say
they are no worsethan their neigh
bors; but God speaks “that every
mouth may be stopped, and all the
world may become guilty before
God,” If we are wise, we willcon-
sider, “What shall be done about
it.”
The Golden Text tells the only
way. It is just such desperately
wicked- heartpd people who hear
his voice and follow Him of whom
Jesus said, “I give unto them eter
nal life; and they shall never per r
ish.” It is jnst such a deceitful
world that God loved so much “that
He gave His only begotten Sod,
that whosoever believeth iu Him
should not perish, bat have ever
lasting life.”
Jesus calls His believers “sheep,”
all going astray, following each
other everyway but the right way;
and He came to save the “lost
sheep.” He is the Good Shepherd,
and has prepared a good fold; but
the sheep are far from good. He
is the Door of the sheep fold. Out
side are dogs and wolves, thieves
and robbers; the inside is for the
sheep; and the inside is to be sav*
ed forever, for He said, “I am the
door: by Me if any man enter iD,
he shall be saved.”
In this lesson He speaks to be
lievers; those who have received
Him. He does not remind them
of their own life and say they are
good; but that they “believe iu
God.” And to all such He says,
“Let not your heart lie troubled.”
He told them that He was going
away to prepare a definite place
for them, and that He would come
back for them, that they might be
with Him forever. And just as
surely as He has gooe, He will re
turn. *The word of two angels sent
from God is also pledged, “This
same Jesus, which is taken up
from you into HeaveD, shall so
come in like manner as ye have
seen Him go into Heaven.”
His return is the “Blessed Hope
of believers, who watch for Him,
and love His appearing; and who
“know that, when He shall appear,
we sball.be like Him;forv. r e shall
see Him as He is.” Every one
who believes in Him is to “Shew
the Lord’s death till He comes.”
“Occupy till I come.” “Judge
uothing before the time, until the
Lord come.” “Be patient there
fore, brethern, unto the coming of
the Lord.” “Abide in Him; that
when He shall appear we may-have
confidence, and not be ashamed be
fore Him at His coming.”
There is just one thiDg for be
lievers to do, “Fear not, only be
lieve.” And this privilege is giv
en to every one who believes^ “If
ye shall ask anything in My name,
1 will do it.” He said it; it is for
us to take it. He also Baid, “Re
joice because your names are writ
ten in Heaven.”

Bridge Across The Pacific.
“There will be a bridge connect
ing this country with Asia at no
very distant day.” said Professor
W. J. McGee, the government
scientist.
“If you will look at any map of
the world you will find the bridge I
speak of indicated by the line of
the Aleutian chain, which extends
from South-western Alaska west
ward in a carve bearing somewhat
toward the south. This chain sup
plemented by certain Russian is
lands, which pkysiographicall y
speakiDg, form part of the same
system, is the southern boandry of
Behring sea. The line of j islands
extends clear across from Alaska to
the Asiatic side, with many gaps
between which as I have stated, re
main yet to be filled in before the
bridge is finished.”
But how do you know that they
will be filled in?
“The best possible reasons exist
for knowing that they mast be fill
ed in, and that the land bridge be
tween our own country and Asia
will be made complete. It is a
certainty, entirely beyond dispute,
that the islands of the Alentian
chain are steadily rising. In fact, a
gradual folding np of that part or
the earth’s crust is taking place,
and the line of the fold is repre
sented by the Aleutian islands and
the Bnssian islands which continue
the system across to Kamchatka.
The territorial expansion of the
United States is progressiDgeby
natural, as well as through politi
cal means. It is progressing ip a
north-westerly direction, owing to
geologic causes, the day land of
western Alaska going Bteadily on
the sea. In other words, the west
coast of Uncle* Sam’s arctic prov
ince is advancing towaad the Asiat
ic shore.
“The Yukon river is continually
bringing down to the eoast enor
mous quantities of detritus and de
positing it off shore. The detritus
does exactly what is accomplished
in cities where the refuse dumps
eventually form great areas of new
around for the extension of Dew
streets and the foundations of
honses. In a word it is a landmaker,
and in the way I describe it has ad
ded thousanks of square miles to
the Alaskan territory, ft has built
the whole of the immense Yukon
delta and has made the waters on
shore so shallow that even small
vessels can hardly get within sight
of the coast. Necessarily, before
very many years have elapsed these
shallows will be converted in their
t urn into dry land by the coutinn
o us outpour of material from the
river.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Kin to Jonah’s Gonr J.
A friend of the Telegraph sug
gests that we weave intoonr “daily
corn song and fable a few stanzas
about the velvet beau.”
From all that we can learn,, the
beau iu question is a cross between
Pope Brown’s red ripper pea and
Jonah’s gourd. Recently Mr. A. G.
Harvey, of Chandler, Florida sent
to the Indiana Farmer a specimen
taken from one vine on which were
16 pods to the stem, five beans to
the pods or 1,600 beans to the
vine.
This bean,, he declares, is a god
send to Florida He has seen the
vines cover the ground two feet
deep, aud in places three. In that
region they can stay oat all winter
and not be injured by the cold.
They give the darkies plenty of
work, make lots of fertilizer, good
meal for cows, horses and hogs.
One can raise corn, potatoes and
other things after a crop of them.
He gathered some of these off of
dead pine trees twenty-five feet up,
They bear on until frost. It keeps
a man bnsy to keep them off things,
aod from running over the fence
into the road. Hard to kill—have
to beat them like a Hoosier school
master does hiskids.
If these facts do not establish
their kinship to ~the gourd which
was Jonah’s and also the red rip
per. known *to Hon. Pope Brown
theD The Telegraph is no expert
in this basiness. We should think
that this bean ought to be given a
chaDce to Bpread itself over the red
bills of Georgia even unto the bot
tom lands.
After corn why not velvet
beans?—Macon Telegrabh.

More money has been made in

twenty years than will be made in
the next fifty years in Cuba, Porto
Eico and the Philippines, and the
chances for money-making in tbe

price of iron for the world is now
made at Birmingham, Ala., and
that city will shortly make the
world’s price of steel. The south’s
industrial evolution, which began
with the development of its iron
industries, includes machine shops
and factories, steel plants and
hardware factories. The 8,000 new
industries which have sprung up
daring the past year include fer
tilizer and phosphate works, wood
working factories, farciture, vehic

works, textile, flour and cotton seed
oil mills, gas and waterworks, tele
