Consternation spread among the creditors when they learned thot Mrs. Verrault had left the city, leaving Mrs. I. W. Brown to face the rest of the storm. Mrs. Brown says she has decided to. pay all the bill* she owes. She ex plained to the creditors that she owns valuable coal lands In Kentucky which she Intends to aell, and as soon as she finds a purchaser, she will pay every debt in full.

If any Man will come unto Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me. MATT. 16:24. The Incident In this lesson occurred near the close of Christ's ministry on earth, while on His way to Jerusalem. He had been preaching In a house, and and while there mothers had brought their children that He might bless them. As He went forth Into the way, a young man came running to-Tllm, and falling at Hla feet, asked Him, "What shall I do that I may Inherit eternal life?" This young man was In earnest, as was Indicated In the manner of hla coming running; he was reverent, as was manifested by his addressing Hint as "Good Master," and his supllant posture; he was a moral young man, having kept all. the commandments that relate to our duties to our fellow-men; he was courageous, for he was rich and a ruler, and not many of his class and position became the followers of the lowly Nasarene. He did not home like Nlcodemus, under the cover of the night, but In the day time, nnd on the public highway. We have every reason to believe that he was sincere, by the Important query on his lips. Ho was amiable, possessed of such a disposition and character that a* the Savior looked on him He loved him. Laqked One Thing. And Yet, with all these good trails, the Lord tells him there was one thing he lacked—that he must sell all he had and give to the poort come unto Him and be Hla follower. Was not that a severe teat? Put your self In the young man's plnce. How would you feel to be called on to give away all the earnings of a lifetime, or .part with an ancestral estate, leave a pirns,in' home, the society of dear frlendv reputation, rank and riches, and follow the fortunes of a man who was ostracised by the recognised best society, nnd so poor that He had no lace where He might lay His head? ow r.inny of us could stand such a test as that? What object could Christ hnv i In laying such n heavy burden on the back of this youth? What, but his real good? It wns not to break his back, but his pride; not :o repel, but attract him: not to quench the flaming flax, but to fan It Into a flame; to convince him he wns not what ho seemed to others or himself: but as far ns genuine faith and piety were concerned, there was one thing he lacked. The lacl- of one thing may spoil everything else. A watch without a mainspring Is worthless ns a chronom eter. A sun-dial without Its gnomen, as It Is called, Time's iron finger that throws Its shndow on the circling hours Is of as much use In the dnrkest night In the brightest sunshine. A shin may he built of the strongest oak, with masts of the stoutest pine, manned by the beet officer* nnd crew, amply sup plied with lifeboats, but you would not risk your life on her to cross the ocean, If she lacked ono thing—the mariner’s compass. So it Is with true piety and living faith. One thing wanting, the greatest works, tht costliest sacrifices, and the most moral life, arc of no value In the sight of God. It may be the lowest piety, but ono degree above sero; It may be the love of smoking finx: the hope of a bruised ri-ert. the faith of a mustard seed: but if Inwrought by the spirit of God It changes the character of man, and hla prospect for eternity. It Is the digit that prefixed to the ciphers give them their valuo and without which they represent nothing. It Is the signature to tht check or note, without which they are worthless. We May Ba Amiable Without Being Religious. Snvlng grace may be found where there la sad want of natural graces. Aa somt one has said, "Grace can live where we could not." But on the other hand, these natural griv-ts, aa they arc called, have adorned many tvhn were strangers to the grace of God. We often mistake one for the other. Wo may be possessed of much that Is admirable and beautiful wlth- ou. anything holy. Turning hi* back on Christ, refusing His personal Invitation, to become His follower, going away sorrowful, this young man warns ua that the sweetest, kindest, gentlest, may lack the one thing needful. However lovely and loving and loved you may be, and de serve to be, except you are born again you can not see the kingdom of God. A Men May Liva a Moral Lift With out Religion. A man can not be a Christian without living a life of moral correctness, hut he may lie a moral man without being u Christian. This young man, a child of fortune, reared i>erhaps with pious care, an honorable station to sustain, kind pa rents to win his affections, It Is ensy to account for his observance of the law. Bkh, what temptation had he to steal? B'essed with an umiable tom- r which he may have Inherited, he A Man May Be Interested in Salvation and Not Be Saved. In some way this man had been awakened, had been made to feel that with all hts possessions there was one thing he lacked; with all he had done, there was something for him to do to secure eternal life; he repairs to the fountain head, seeking It In Christ, yet a stranger to the grace of God. The curtain falls on him with his face turned to'the world and hla back on Christ. He gave more apparent evi dence of being saved than many who repair to the Lord's tnble, and bear an excellent character In the church. Look at hla earnestness. He did not wait for a more convenient season, ho came running to Christ. Look at hla humili ty. A noble by birth, a ruler by office, a man of his position and great wealth, he kneels at the feet of One who was born In a stable, and never had an earthly home, and who was burled In a borrowed sepulcher. Though possessed with everything the world could afford, more than enough to supply all hi a wants, he felt a void within that th* world could never fill, . No wonder that the disciples, when they saw such a man .turn hla back on Christ, and heard our Lord say it was easier (or a camel to pass through a needle's eye than a rich man to enter the kingdom or heaven, were astonished and asked: "who then can be saved?" Not a Universal Test. We must not understand that all come to Christ and would be His fol lowers must sell all their goods and give to the poor. Christ looked Into this young man’s heart and saw what was the great obstacle In his way, the one thing that was holding him back. His words were a warning not against acquiring riches, but trusting In riches. Money Is not the root of all evil, but the love of money. There Is nothing wrong In making money, If made hon estly and legitimately. It Is a good thing If kept In Its place. Its place should be In our open hands nnd not our hearts. It Is a good, servant, but a bail master. Borne of the beat Christian men are rich, men who realise their relation to God as stewards, and also their obliga tion to their fellow-men, but It Is hard for a man whose sole aim In life Is to acquire riches to live a Christian life. The heart Is weaned away from things spiritual und wedded to material things. Then thbre are all the tempta tions that are concomitant with wealth. There Is no warning In the Bible that needs to be held up and heeded more In this age of commercialism than the one In this lesson. This la a busy, bustling, hurrying, hustling age In which we live. The world seems a vast arena, filled with runners In the race for riches. They are so Intent In finding gold In the sordid soil of earth they can not look up to see the crown sparkling with gems of redemption. How men work and worry under the spur and whip of this monster passion, turning a (leaf ear to every holy and humane appeal for help, practicing all the tricks of trade, often denying them selves the comforts of life, that they may pile up riches they do not enjoy while living, and must part with them Victor Talking Machines • J = and ■■■ Edison Phonographs SOLD ON EASY WEEKLY OR MONTHLY PAYMENTS. ♦J We have the largest stock °f Records, both Disc and Cylinder, carried by any firm in tbe Southern States.

Is the height of tolly. A sailor once stood on the deck of a sinking ship that waa returning from tho Pacific- coast.

The sailor loaded him self with these till ho could scarcely bear their weight, nnd when remon strated with and told they would sink him In the sea, he replied that "he had always wanted to be rich, and. this was his last opportunity." W’e condemn hla folly, but many do a similar thing. This lesson Is not only a lesson to the rich, but to those who would be rich, who trust In uncertain riches. If we would be Christ's disciples and followers, we must be witling to give up anything that holds ua bark. Our prayer should be: "Give me nolther poverty nor riches." Not many use that petition, and If they did they would puli one way'while they prayed the other, Christ wants an entire consecration. We are not our own.
