A SEAMLESS COAT OF CHRIST.
The- Catholic church at Argen
touil, a lit tic village near Paris,
boasts <4' being the possessor of
a seanL coat or gaom:.., the
very one worn byour Lord while
on earth.
Treves, is a town in Rhenish
Prussia, disputes this possession,
claiming itself to have the sacred
tunic. 11 is preserved with great
car ■ in a sealed cave, and only
once in fifty years can it he seen,
when the seals are broken and the
.walls tor down for a period of
six weeks.
The relic at Treves is a garment
.which draped the shoulders and
fell to the feet. It was not a work
mins dress, such as Christ mu-t
have worn, and, besides it is not
SUIMII loss.
The garment possessed by the
• Church at Argentuell is without a
seam and made of camel’s hair. It
is one and a half yards long and a
yard a.id a quarter wide. It is sim
iliar to the dress worn today by
the Judean Peasant, and that is
precisely what Christ wore. Avery
precious document at the church
in Argenteuil, called Charta Hug
mis, and dated 1156, declares that
Christ's vestment was “offered for
the veneration of the faithful, and
from the most ancient times had
ooen kept in this monastery.
Many proofs are offered to show
(hat the garment is authentic, and
a critical chemical analysis proves
cefVtoA *iftTge spots on the tunic to
be blood.

It is sometime said that the doc
trine of future retribution has been
banished from the preaching of to
day. We do not believe this is
true. The doctrine is stated in dif
ferent terms from those of forty
years ago. It is less prominent in
modern preaching. It is the back
ground against which the gospel
of salvation is preached, firmly
held by many preachers who sel
dom distinctly avow it.—The Con
gregationalist.

SEED THOUGHTS.
There mny be times when you
cannot find help bnt. there is no
time when you cannot give help—
G, 8. Merriam
There is no tit search after truth
which does not first of all begin to

Bushnell.
Nothing is so 'strong as gentle
ness; nothing so gentle as real
strength.—Francis de Sales.
Man cannot be saved by perfect
obedience,for he cannot render it;
he cannot be saved by imperfect
obedience, for God will not accept
it. —Sabbath Outlook.
THE SEVEN BIBLES OF THE WORLD
The question is often asked
whether there is any Bible besides
the Christian Bible. '1 here aie
seven.
Each faith believes its own to
be the Word o> Gu<l. They ai'H the
Holy Scriptures, the Koran of the
Mahometans the Tu Pit ikes of the
Buddhists, the Five .Kings of the
Chinese the Three Vedas of the!
Hindus, the Gcmdaveeta of the i
Persians, the Eddas of the Scan
dinavians.
The Eddas is a eemi-sa-’
cred work and was boru in the
fourteenth century. The most re
cent of the real Bibles is the Ko
ran, which is a collection of saying
from the Christian Scriptures and
the Talmud and dates from the
seventh century after Christ,.
The Vedas are the most ancient
of Hindu liter ture although th fe
commentators do not ascribe them
to an earlier, period than the
twelfth century before Christ. The j
Pentateuch was written by Moses '
1,500 years before Christ so that ;
tbe Christian Bible antedates-the I
oldest of its rivals by three ceutu '
ries.
‘'ANNIE BES-ANT AND HINDUISM-”
“Mrs Besant seems to have taken
to Hinduism and all its dogmas
most heartily,” says the Harvest
Field. She believes in the Hindu I*
gods; she tells Hindu .audiences '
that she was a Hindu pundit ini
former birth and ns visiting her
own land after a sojourn »»> the
West where she was incarnated to
know the nature of the matovialis
t:e civilizat ions of those re gious-1
It is no wonder that she gets
crowded audiences to listen to her 1
She is a forcible speaker; she I
knows how to-adapt berselS io tier (
audiences and hence they do n«4. i
hesitate to call her Sara&s&ti, the
Hindu Goddess of Learning.
Her visit will doubtless revive
for a season, the waning influence
of Theosophy,, and there will be an
increase opposition to Christianity
as a result. This shunld encour-l
age all Christians to continue their ■
efforts to-'ekilighten the people of
India, and seek to deliver them
trom the eudless maz.es and mys
tical teachings of Theosophy,

The door opened and there came

face and a pair of keen gray (‘yes
V “You are from North Clark
‘ jSi reet,’’Said the detective.
I The man started convulsilvely.
" i “How did you know it ? he asked
“By the two shiny white spots
'I on your coat sleeves. These spots
mark where your arms rest on the
’ window sill while you are leaning
I out to watch the cable cars go by
' Every one on North Clark Street
does that. Youliveon the west

“True enough.” said the visitor

“How do I know these thii gs?

If your wife were alive you would
not think enough of her to wear a

you had re-married you wouldn’t
dare to wear it. You have jusbcome
