John 31:18-19.—"This gpake ho. sig
nifying by what death he should glorify
God."
Death is inevitable. "It Is appointed
unto man once to die." and that ap
pointment each must keep. Whatever
life may hold,,or whatever It may deny
us, to hlgh'and low alike, the same fate
Is In waiting—each must die. Wheth
er we shrink from It or whether we
seek It, the hour of our dissolution is
steadily approaching, and sooner or
later each must pass, in a moment,
from time Into eternity.
Some live in mortal fear of death—
and well they may—for their life la
such that the reckoning at the end of
the way 'will be terrible. Death will
reverse all their plans, cancel ail their
Jcys. fuinil their worst forebodings. In
exorably fix their fate and leave them
eternally bereaved. Some, with stoical
Indifference, face death unflinchingly
as the inevitable, although at the same
time they make no efTort to prepare
for Its approach. Some, in the height
of folly, through pique or through
cowardly fear of further facing life. In
defiance of God’s law, seek to shuffle
off life’s coll and evade Its conse
quences by a blind plunge into the fu
ture. Such Indifference or such sui
cidal haste oh the part of any Is the
height of madness and more irrational
than the fear of others which they af
fect to despise. But there are those
who. through a Christian’s faith, re
gard death as a God-appointed means
of rest and release from pain. Wearied
and wom by the strife, and trusting In
the promise of the Word that they who
die in the Lord shall rest from their
labors while their works do follow
them, they calmly look forward to God’s
appointed hour of death as the weary
laborer looks for the evening shad
ows and the time of going home. And
there are those whose trust Is so tri
umphant, and whose hope In God so
sure, that, as they flx their eyes upon
the promised glories awaiting the re
deemed. they almost covet death
being the portal of entry Into a larger
life, and . say with Paul, "We would
rather be absent from the body anil
present with the Lord.”
But there Is atll lanother view of
death which Is'presented in our text,
namely—that It furnishes an opportu
nity for exalted service. The Master,
In His last conversation with Peter,
making prophetic reference to the day
when He should suffer martyrdom by
crucifixion, said: "When thou waat
young thou glrdest thyself and walk-
cdst whither thou wouldst, but when
thou Bhalt bo old thou shall stretch
forth thy hands and another shall gird
thee and carry' thee whither thou
wouldst not.” Thus spake He signi
fying by what death he should glorify
upd. Is this not a most exhilarating
thought? When we have done our
best for our Master who has done so
much for us, and when our lives have
counted for all that It Is possible for
them to count, we have the blessed
hope of serving Him yet further In our
death. Indeed, like Samson, it Is often
allowed a child of God to do more for
Him and His cause by his death than
by his life, for sometimes the silent lips
of parents appeal to children who weep
above their coffined forms, with more
convincing eloquence than ever tHey
did when warm with love and tender
with emotion. If soldiers are kindled
by the thought of distinguished service
n hlc h will bring honor to thdr coun
try’s name, e ven though this service
be rendered at' the cost of life itself,
how much more should a Christian re-
Jolco as ho approaches death when he
considers that in his death he may se
cure the supremest opportunity ever
offered to glorify Ills God. It Is in re
sponse to this stimulating thought of
death as a Bphero of service that wo
offer this prajer.
I do not know, I do not care,
Nor ask to know the when, or where,
Or how, this mortal life shall be
Launchod forth Into eternity.
But this I ask, or late or soon.
At dusk or dawn, at night or noon,
That 'I may meet Thee w ithout shame I
And dying, glorify Thy name.
’Twill not be far—mid peace or pain,
’Twill not be long—through loss or
gain,
'Twill not be much—through hope or
fear
Until I find the margin near;
Until the little sum is told
. Of what I lose or what I hold.
Of what I’ve been and meant and won
Through all the lit tle course I’ve run.
O, what of treasure or of loss
Shall be my portion os I cross
The hidden line where ends the strife
Where meet .the boundaries of life.’
Ah. Lord, Thou God of ages old,
By whose decree alone I hold
Whate’er of time or strength I know,
Whate'cr of gain or good 1 show;
Grant that I be with life possess'd
Until I fully manifest
What Thou canst do when Thou dost
choose.
Such weakness to transform and use.
Grant that my days, tho' like the dew.
Or like the blocm the morning knew,
May not decline until-1 prove
The depth and riches of Thy love;
Until I demonstrate Thy care—
That Thou dost hear and answer
prayer—
Until I know through trustful test
Thy will as sweet. Thy way as best.
And though Ilfs speed, may It proclaim
Tho lasting glories of Thy name.
Tea, though it cease—as fails my
breath
May I declare Thy praise In death.
I hni not worthy. Lord, of Thee,
Nor do I make desert my plea.
A sinner trusting In Thy grace
With contrite heart I seek Thy
face.
I have resented Thy restraint
And met Thy kindness with com
plaint,
I have resisted Thy control
And felt rebellion In my soul.
I have been wayward. Lord, but now
To Thy bless'd discipline I bow;
So. may Thy hands, with patient skill
Design, correct, control, until
Redeemed and fashioned ail anew,
I show what marvels Thou canst do
With any life that Is commit*
To Thee to mould os Thou see'st
lit.
And how Thy mercy dost advance
The soul that gives to Thee
chance.
O! by Thy power may I be
Dead to myself—alive to .Thee.
And to the world and nil its pride
May I be fully crucified.

I Where sin has reigned, may

By REV. CALEB A. RIDLEY
OF LIVE OAK, FLORIDA
During my recent stay In Atlanta I
was asked to visit Kennesaw moun
tain,' somo twenty miles out. Rev. IB.
H. Peacock, Dr. Broughton’s assist
ant pastor, hod Just closed a scries of
meetings In tho vicinity, and had an
nounced his Intention of establishing
a permanent camp site to be occupied
during the month of August each year.
His Idea Is to rent tents and pitch
them on a high rolling ridge at the
foot of the mountain, near a splendid
spring and In the midst of a most beau
tiful grove, which has been tendered
him free of charge. These tents will
bo furnished families who do not feel
abie to go to the mountains or to the
set, and yet, who feel the peed of a
few weeks' outing. The cost will, he
Insignificant and the returns mani
fold.
In a few hundred yards of the camp
site there will be a Inrge gospel tent
in which religious services will be held
every night during the month. - Tho
very best talent that can be had will
bo in the pulpit, fully two thousand
pooplo who live In reach of the site
are anxious to.co-operatg gM'gt giwtt
time religiously Is assured. Jn the
meeting Just closed there wero over
one hundred professions of faith In
Christ.’ Tho place selected for the tent
Is at tho Intersection of flvo public
highways, only one mile from Marietta
and right at Elisabeth station on the
Western and Atlantic railroad. It Is
easy of access from all points, Is near
the city and yet has every advantage
and charm of the country.
While strolling through the grove and
loitering near the spring where the
family tents are to.be pitched, one for
gets the turmoil of city life and Is
conscious only of,the most lovely sur
roundings. Stretching away on every
side are the cushioned meadows, tho
tinted hills, and the ripening fields of
corn. Silvery streams and streamlets
thread their way along by the foot
hills and laugh and chuckle and sing
to tho flowers that nod and smile on
their emerald banks. It was a scene
like this, that Inspired the poet to
write:
"How gladly through a poet’s dreams
The lyric breexes blow—
From tropic groves and sylvan streams.
And hills of long ago!
They ripple on, with music rife—
In measures sweet or strong—.
Frpm the green valley-land of life.
And mountain peaks of song.
HoW gladly through a poet’s dreams
The lyric breexes blow—
From forests where the Jasmine gleams.
And shy wood-violets grow.
They bllhtely roam • o’er grass and
grain—
Rebuking doubt and gloom—
’Till thoughts long bound by winter's
chain
Break Into rhythmic bloom.”
Only a few hours had passed since
Mr. Peacock and I had left the city, but
now we stood bathed In the blue of
heaven and drinking In the oxone of the
hills. A cloud was floating lazily across
the sky and the cool breezes kissed our
cheeks like the gentle touch of mother.
In my tnlnfl I could but contrast the
freedom of the hills with the pent-up
life of our great cities. As I stood there
I dreamed, and In my dreams I saw
again the pver-restless throng of the
city streets, heard the weird screams
of the multitudinous newsboy, the honk
of the auto, the rattle of wheels, the
ringing of bells, tho muffled murmur
of men, the sharp, piercing accents of
women, with now and then a shriek of
horror. I saw again the careworn faces
of the surging moss. There was the
widow whose black veil told of a sor
row heavy as hell, and whose pale face
grew cold under the glare of unsym
pathetic eyes. Then there was (he. poor
old beggar, whose eyeless sockets
pleaded so eloquently that I found
myself feeling for the last nickel. I saw-
shop girls, with beautiful faces, but
heavy hearts, as they glanced from
their prison wails at tho .great world
without. Before me passed a great
multitude, In whose faces I read the
story of disappointment and death.
Mahy of them had once owned their
little cottage In the country where the
vine with purple clusters.climbed over
tho trellis and tho old apple tree piled
up Its golden fruit. But they had heard
of an Eldorado In the city and gone
there to get rich. Whnt fools we mor
tals bo! As the-passing throng went
limping by, I saw through a broken
window the cold, chaste face of a dying
child, whose name.will never get into
the newspapers. But the dream van
ished. the panorama passed and I
thanked heaven that I was away from
It all. and enjoying the realities of the
country.
It Is In the country that beauty Is
supreme, and as I stood at the foot of
Kennesaw mountain I felt this truth as
I rarely ever have. I realized atmh
the solemn and dignified grandeur oft
mountain. I was reared up amoni
them. They were my youthful com
panions, but this familiarity had ob
scured their charms. But there stood
beautiful Kennesaw—made famous for
being a silent witness of one of the hot
test days of tho Civil war—there It
stood beneath a curtain of clouds with
its shining slopes and summit burn lib.
ed by the touch of evening splendor.
The thunderheods seemed frozen a hoot
Its granite brow. Like a symbol oi
eternity, !t stood ns one of the mutt
choristers of heaven. It may be a child
of the earthquake, a 'Wrinkle on tbs
brow of the world or the record ols
planet's agony, but bo this as It msjr,
Ke'nnesaw Is one of the most beautIM
little mountains In ail this world, a
Ideal spot for tho summer outing. 1

The world withholds confidence from

The Tibetan Sacred Book, which cor
responds to the Christian Bible, con

the World, of 108 volumes of 1,000
pages each, containing 1,088 separate
books. Each volume weighs ten pounds
and forms a package 34 inches long. 8
Inchee broad and 8 Inches deep, and It
requires a dozen oxen for Ite trans
port. Tbs carved wooden blocks, from
which It Is printed, need rows of houses
like a city for their storage. One tribe
of Mongolians paid seven thousand
oxen for a copy of the book. In addi

828 volumes of commentaries upon it.
