And Jesus rose up and followed him.” The secret Is out. There was a man who could speak for a moment In a tone of authority, then, to Jesus, because he spake through more immediate contact with the world’s sorrow and and pain and need; that was what gave him his precedence Lead on. man? Jesus follows. How strange! • It seemed to me that we might take this as one of the passages that re mind ns of the Lord’s humanity, show¬ ing how He was shut out by limita¬ tion of knowledge, how He must wait 'jntll some one came and showed Him the home where the shadow of death was. I suppose it is true in some sense, but as you muse upon, you feel It was also an illustration of His hood What kind of message is at conies with authority to the of the Creator? Some story of creature’s need. It is our weak¬ ness that moves God, our humility, emptiness. It is our cry of emptiness our cry of need, tbat moves God. If Jt were possible to conceive of such a thing as the limitation of the knowl¬ edge of God*—If you could conceive of yourself as going into the presence of God and informing Him that some¬ where in some forgotten corner cf His universe there was some unknown creature, unknown to Him, that was perishing for want of Him, and you were the only guide qualified to show the way to that creature, we may say, with all reverence that you could expect God Himself to rise up and follow you. And Jesus rose up and followed Jairus to the house of sor¬ row. My friends, let us comfort our¬ selves with the assurance that any such message as that will move the Lord today just as in the days of airus Whatever pain or sorrow there is In your own house or the .house of your friend, you may go to ■fan straightway and tell Him, and |Ken that you return taking you His may be with sure you are presence you. Be sure a man of that kind is a privileged character; he takes pre¬ cedence of all. When Jarius has fin¬ ished, speaking, Jesus rises up and follows him. Now that is only the first part of our tfUL This is the second part: “And so did His disciples.” As dis¬ ciples it was their business to follow Jesus, and now Jesus was following ^mole Jairus. Is not this a most excellent for any loyal church? The’ ^festion that ought to come to us is i | of leadership, human '-I?: PRe, ^fcip I of shall a Christian often expect church, to and,; find t t Jf, kind Men of leadership and women in experienced the church j j in the things of God who can serve as leaders for their younger brethren. It was so in the days of the apostles. Men like Paul who charged the younger members that they should follow him as he was following Christ and it was safe counsel. There are leaders in the church, but the ques¬ tion which our text suggests is wheth¬ er there may ever be any kind of safe leadership inside the church from outside the church. If any man from outside appears and says “come," would it ever be safe for us to fol¬ low? Certainly not always. If Chris¬ tian people are too ready to walk af¬ ter everybody who beckons them they are likely to wander away from the Master. There comes some new teacher with great pretensions of wis¬ dom who says. “Come, I will lead you into higher regions than your marier has been able to show you.” Any church that follows such may make up their mind that thev will soon lose the Master. Or. again, it may he some high church official who savs he will lead you to regions of religious assurance that you have not found in following your Master. In the old davs it would have been the Hieh Priest: in onr dav it might be the ancient and splendid hierarchy of the armv of Romo, but you and I are per¬ suaded that it is more blessed to fol¬ low the Maste- "who not having seen we love ” Christ has never consent¬ ed that w° should fo’low any human priest. Then, again tho church might consent to follow’ Caesar or ^oirm renres°"tative of oolitioal newer In the world In following Caesar we run the risk of losing the more imnortant guidance of Jesus. No po¬ litical Dower, no human prestige, no wisdom of the human understanding is a safe guide for any church of Christ. Then can von conceive o f any hu man leadershin th°t it would he safe for the church n” disciples to follow? Yes Here is this man. Jsirus. who comes from outside with this pitiful story, and Jesus rises apd follows him, and so do Hjs disc’oles Any man who knowns the wav to auv kind of human sorrow or need or wrong mar claim a hearing from any church of Jesus Chris*, and if in the hearing fhey find he knows the wav hotter than we. he may claim not only a hearing, hut the p o’iowipr from the chnrch of .Tesus Christ It is direct Imitation o f His example. The church has often been too slow sometimes because we did not like the man who called. The necsonal character of the leader does not come into the ques lion at. all We want all those in sorrow to know that the bes* nl'ace tn'C'ime is slwavs the church Tesus Christ That the message -will re¬ clove the nromet-ost attention, pup nn noor Jsirus need ever go, home along. Once his storv was finished Jesus got no and followed him. ar.d ?n did His disciples If we are di°cinles. it is our business tn be following Christ But how +o follow Him? Who will lead us? T have no doubt that sometimes onr Lord shows us the wav by those offler and wiser in the church and sometimes He exercises His Lead ershin through those without the church, messengers telling us of some one who needs help, and onr business as Christians, not onlv as churches, hut as individuals, is to he listening alwavs for that anneal, looking only to the nath that leads to the house where thev need us We cannot see the face of Jesus, we cannot hear His voice: it mav even seem to some of us that we have lost the comforting sense of .Tesus in our hearts. We ask why He did not leave some guide whom we could see and follow and who would lead us hack to Him and before the words are out of our lit)* here stands this .Tairus "Come” he says, and you listen and you rise up and follow him, and as soon as you do something tells" you that you are not any longer walking alone. That lost companionship you were mourning for has been restored to you. This was His guide, and you have done well to follow him. read This is not mv fancy. Let me veil the plain words of the history: “Whil? he spake, behold! there came a certain ruler, and when he saw Jesus he fell at his feet and besought him. saving, ‘Mv little daughter lieth at the point of death. I pray thee come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live, and Jesus arose and followed him, and so did his dis¬ ciples.” Doers of the Word. To he simply a hearer of God's Word is not only to deceive oneself, but to increase one’s responsibility. “Inasmuch as ye did it not” is a sharp sentence which Jesus one day passed upon His unfaithful followers It is a great thing to remember that God s Word may be translated into Chris¬ tian living. If for each day we should be guided by one single precept, in the process of time we would come to know our Bibles as thoroughly as we know our own names, but we would also come to the place where the revelation of Jesus Christ would be very attractively presented to one who might DOt read God’s Word, but who would study our lives. “Be ye therefore doers of the Word, and no hearers only.” Look Upward. I cannot understand why those who have given themselves up to God and His goodness are not always cheer ful; for what possible happiness can be equal to that? No accidents or imperfections which may happen ought to have power to trouble ^ them, or to hinder their looking upward —• St. Francis de Sales. Our Pilot.

Douglas’ Adminis¬ tration and Jobbing House. The dedication of the new adminis¬ tration and jobbing bouse building erected at Brockton, Mass., by the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co. as a part of its mammoth manufacturing plant at Mon tello was marked by the thoroughness and attention to detail characteristic of the firm in all its undertakings ‘ As the new building is said to be the most complete and convenient of any ever built for a commercial house in the United States, so were the expres¬ sions of appreciation by the many per¬ sons who visited it for inspection sin¬ cere and of a highly congratulatory nature. The dedicatory program Included open house from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. with concert by the Mace Gay orches¬ tra and the presence of a Boston caterer to attend to the wishes of alL The building Itself afforded a feast for the eye, especially tbe offices, which are marvels in many ways. Fifteen thousand Invitations were Sent out, In¬ cluding over 11,000 to the retail dealers in the United States, who handle the W. L. Douglas Co. shoes, the others going to shoe manufacturers and all allied industfles iu Brockton and vl ein'ity. Mr. Dougins will be glad to have anybody who is interested call The new building Is situated Just north of the No. 1 factory on Spark street, facing the Montello railroad station. Its completion marks the es¬ tablishment of a modern up-to-date wholesale jobbing house and office building. Mr. Douglas has long con¬ sidered the advisabllty of a Jobbing house, not only for the purpose of sup¬ plying his own retail stores more read¬ ily, but that the 11,000 dealers through¬ out the United States handling the W. L. Douglas shoe might be able to ob¬ tain shoes for Immediate use with greater facility. Under the present system all shoes are manufactured to order, and cus¬ tomers sometimes lose sales waiting for shoes to arrive. With the new job¬ bing bouse they will be enabled to have their hurry orders shipped the same day they are received, which will be far more satisfactory to the cus¬ tomer and will result in a largely-in¬ creased business to the W. B. Douglas Shoe Co. The new building is 200 feet long and 00 feet wide and two stories In height The Jobbing department will occupy the entire lower floor, while the offices will occupy the second floor, Leaving the new jobbing house on the first floor, the main stulrcase as cends to the second floor level lu two divisions separating on the first land¬ ing and meeting ngaln upon the fourth, where the large Palladian window Is situated, which appears over the en trance. At tbe head of the staircase in the mosaic floor appears the word “Atrium,” the name of the inner hall, planned and decorated after tbe man¬ ner of the central apartment of the Fompeiian house. This room is direct¬ ly in the center of the main building, being 26x08 and 16 feet in height, and Is lighted by three large ceiling sky¬ lights of classic design. Around the atrium are placed the private offices, where the heads of the departments are located, with their assistants. Beginning at the right of the main entrance, in order, are those of the C. F. Richmond, buyer; II. T. Drake, general superintendent; Hon. \V. L. Douglas, president; and H. L. Tinkham, treasurer. They are finished and furnished In mahogany and are ensuite. Mr. Douglas’ own room oc¬ cupies the southwest corner of the building, and is a very handsome apartment To the left of these comes the room of C. D. Nevlns, assistant treasurer, Mrs. Marlon Shields, cor respondence clerk, and the store de pa rtment. On the east of tbe atrium and open¬ ing into this ball are two alcoves sep¬ arated by mahogany counters, the fronts of which are plate glass and grilles of bronze. These are the offices of Warren Weeks, paymaster, and Harry L. Thompson, the bookkeeper. The next in order to tbe left are two rooms devoted to the credit depart¬ ment, one the private office of A. T. Sweetser and the other occupied by his cleijts. The next two offices'are those of F. L. Erskine, advertising manager, and bis assistants. The three other rooms completing the outer wall line of the atrium are the reception __ room ____ to the .. left ... of the .. staircase hall, directors’ room and lavatory and the sample room. Here are located the telegraph instruments, telephone switchboard and booths for use of guests. The directors’ room is a fine cham¬ ber occupying the space in the north¬ west corner of the building, This room is finished and furnished in ma hogany and all appointments are In keeping. Here hangs a portrait in oil of Mr. Douglas, the president. The last room In this series is the sample room, also in mahogany, Q n center with the entrance and be tween the bookkeeper’s alcove and the cre< jjt department is a hall leading to the general bookkeeping room, where is located the host of clerks which this huge business employs. 1 I Says the Richmond Times-Despatch j j —“France has more small proprietors than any other country in Europe of the same size.

OPERATION AVOIDED EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEY She Was Told Tbat an Operation Was Inevitable How She Escaped It.

A young disciple of Blackstone, w Kitad worked his way through col¬ lege amd taken a full course in the study of law besldeB, was miaking a trip through the Southwest in search of an eligible location for the prac¬ tice of his profession. A thrifty young city, with a considerable body of water on one side of it and a forest on the other, attracted his attention, and he decided to make a few day’s stay and investigate. to ‘‘Putting up” at what seemed he the best hotel, he ate his dinner, then strolled into the Office, and pro¬ ceeded in a careless way to interro¬ gate the clerk. “There is a good deal of business done in, this town, isn't there?” he Askod. “Yes, sir,” answered the young man. “In one way and another there’s a good jag of business going on here. "Healthy place, isn’t it?” “Middling.” here? “Is there much litigation "No, I haven’t heard of any cases of that, but there’s a lot of chills an’ fever, and occasionally a bad case of the grip.” Mites and Hawks, Two Chicken Enemies. In his lectures before the students of the Agriculture Department of rhe University of Missouri T. E. Orr, sec¬ retary of the American Poultry As¬ sociation, told methods of combatting mites and chicken hawks that might easily be used by every Missouri housewife. Mites, he says, might be gotten rid of by spraying the chicken house with a mixture of one part crude car¬ bolic acid and eight parts carbon oil. This mixture he recommends in preference to mite exterminators sold by traveling agents. Hawks, he claims, may be kept out of the poultry yard by attaching bright pieces of tin, six by ten inches, to the trees and poles surrounding quarters, by strings two feet long so that the wind will make the bright metal dance in the sunlight. Both steel and gold pens are appar ently doomed. Dr Werner von Bol toa delivered before the Electro Technical Association in Berlin, the other day, an address in which he described the new metal tantalite, which is so hard that a diamond drill makes no impression on it.
