We associate .God wi: h revolutions. We can
see a divine purpose in rhe discovery of Amer
ica, in I ho invention of the art of printiug, in
thenrposureof'the piiii;M»wdcr plot, in the
connivance of the rectlie gun, in the ruin of
an Austrian or Napoleonic despotism; but how
bard it is to see God in the minute
personal affairs of our iivesl We
think of God as making a record of
the starry host, but cannot realise the Bible
troth that ho knows bow many hairs are on
oar brad. It seems a grand thing that God
provided food for hundreds of thousands of
Israelites In the desert, but we cannot appre

Mo Gcd in these flower* at onr feet? We are
apt to plsco God on tome great stage, or to try
to do it; expecting Hitut horo to act out His
stupendous projects; but wo forgot that the
life of a Cromwell, an A texander or a Wash
ington, or an arotongel, is not more
under divine ins paction than your
life or mine. Pompey thought
there must bo a utiti. over the eyes of
God because He so touch favored Caesar. But
tbeio is no such mist .. He sees everything.
We sav God’s path IA in the great waters. Trne
enough! but no'more rertaToly than he is in
the water in the glassou the table. We say
God guides the stars in thtrir courses. Magnifi
cent tmth! but no worn certain truth than
that lie decides which road or street you shall
take in coming to church. Understand that
God does not sit upou an tndifferent*or unsym

heard of people itrivmg for that which la

man calif too little. Wbot msn cilia enough,
God eaja Is too mooh. Tho difference between
a poor man and 0 rich man is
only the differanoo In banka. The
rich man puts hla money in

Going up the White mountains some years
sge, 1 thought of that paaesgo In the Bible that
speaks of God as weighing moon tains In a bal*

There is a man who says: “That doctrine
cannot be true, becauso things de go so vory
wrong.” I reply it is no inconsistency on tho
part of God, bnt a lack of understanding ou
onr part. 1 hear that men are making vory
fine shawls iu some factory. I go in ou the
fiist floor and ace only the raw materials, and
1 aah: “Are tbtee the shawls I have heard
about? 1 ' “No,” aaya tho manufacturer; “go up
to the next floor;" and I go up, and there l
begin to see the design. Bat the man says:

Ged'a dealings Ho tells ns to go up higher

h« aven, and there see God’s idea all wrought
out—a perfect idea of mercy, of love, of
kindness. And wo say: "Just and
trne are all thy ways ” It is ail right at tho
bottom. Remember there is no inconsistency
ou tho part of God, bnt it is only onr moutal
and spiritual incapacity.

Frank G. Carpenter In July Mpptnoou.
Martha Washington was a very pretty girl,
but not a very good-looking old woman. As she
matured she grew stout, and, though her pictures
represent hes ate beauty, the current history or the
times says she was a plainly-dwsefi, robust oh!
woman, who looked older than her husband. She
was rot notrd lor her social nor her intellectual
qualities. She could not spell, and probably did
not lead a book from ono tod of the year to the

60 MILLION.
Sixty million people in the United States are daily
consumers of bread artificially raised and lightened, yet
statistics shows that one-half the baking powders on the
market are criminally impure. The Massachusetts official
State Chemist, Professor James Babcock, says the amount of
ammonia secretly entering into a baking powder advertis ed
under thegsmiling pretense of absolute purity makes its sale a
crime.
The following heads of the Great Universities and
National Food Analysts recommend for use in every family
DR. PRI CE’S CREAM BAKING POWDER, which is free
from ammonia, lime, alum or any drug taint whatever, and
