I. Being a Neighbor (Luke 10:30
37).
The story of the Good Samaritan is
Christ’s answer to the lawyer’s ques
tion: Who is our neighbor? He shifts
the question so as to show that the
supreme concern is not who is our
neighbor, but whose neighbor am I?
If I am Christ’s, my supreme concern
will be to find those who have need
that I may be a neighbor to them. If
we love God supremely, we shall find
all along life’s highway souls who have
been wounded and robbed by sin,
whom we can love as ourselves. To
be a neighbor is to—
1. See those about us who need help
(v. 33).
Love is keen to discern need. Let
us be on the lookout for those in need
of our help.
2. Have compassion on the needy
(v. 33).
Christ’s pity was aroused as he came
into contact with those who were suf
fering and in need. All those who
have his nature will be likewise moved.
3. Go to those in need (v. 34).
Many are willing to give money to
help the poor and needy, hut are un
willing to personally minister to them.
Many times the personal touch is more
important than the material aid. We
should give ourselves as well as our
money.
4. Bind up the wounds (v. 34).
Many indeed are the wounds today
which need our attention.
5. Set the helpless ones on oui
beasts while we walk (v. 34).
This is a proof that the love is genu
ine. Christians will deny themselves
in order to have something to give tc
those who have need. This kind ot
sympathy is greatly needed today.
6. Brin# to the inn and take care oi
the unfortunate (v. 34).
Genuine love does not leave its serv
ice incomplete. Much Christian serv
ice is spasmodic; helps once and then
loaves a man to care for himself.
7. Gives money (v. 35).
It costs a good deal to be a neigh
bor. Love Is the most expensive thing
in the world. It cost God his only
Son; it cost Christ his life. May we
go and do likewise!
It. Living and Walking in the Spin
it (Galatians 6:1-10).
Those who are freely justified in
Christ will conduct themselves as fol
lows :
1. Restore the sinning brother
(v. 1).
Restore is a surgical term which
means the placing back of a dislocat
ed member to its place. We are mem
bers of the body of Christ, and the
sinning of a brother ought to as really
give us pain as the dislocation of a
member of our body. This service is
to be done in the spirit of meekness,
lest we also be tempted.
2. Bear one another’s burdens (w.
2-4).
Many are the burdens of life, bur
dens of weakness, temptation, sorrow,
suffering and sin. Christ is the su
preme burden-bearer. When we do
this we fulfill the law of Christ.
3. Bear our own burdens (v. 5).
There are peculiar burdens incum
bent upon each one to bear. These
burdens cannot be borne by others.
4. Support teachers of God’s Word
(vv. 6-8).
It is incumbent upon those who are
taught in the Word of God to give of
their means for the support of the
teacher. To repudiate this obligation
Is mockery of God. for he ordained
that they who preach the Gospel
should live of the Gospel (1 Cor. 9:14).
5. Be earnest In well-doing (v. 9).
Some fall of the reward becatise
they give up when the goal is about
to be reached.
6. Work for the good of all men (v.
10).
The one who Is free In Christ will
have sympathies and Interests as wide
as the race. He will especially strive
to help those who are members of
Christ’s body.
True Service.
There is no service like his that
serves because he loves—Sir Philip
Sidney.
Vaunteth Not Itself.
Put a seal upon your lips, and for
get what you have done. After you
have been kind, after Love has stolen
forth Into the world and done its
beautiful work, go back Into the shade

HAVE ORGY OF CANNIBALISM
Ghastly Doings of the Burying Beetles
Regularly Take Place at Certain
Seasons of the Year.
Here Is a monstrous case of the
most ghastly depravity mingled with
sublime sacrifice.
The Burying Beetle buries small
birds, mammals and reptiles, not ns
stored food for itself, but for the
sustenance of its offspring. In the
confines of a cage these undertakers
will bury carcass after carcass, eating
Rpnrpelv sinvthinir rienositincr their
eggs with the game. They display
most edifying industry and order un
til the proper season is over. Then
they strike work and take themselves
underground.
And now a most frightful orgy be
gins. Despite the abundance of food
both above ground and stored with
the eggs, which they will not touch,
the undertakers begin mutually eat
ing each other. One emerges to the
surface with a leg missing, and other
wise in a most battered condition. An
other appears a little better off. lie
has two legs left. This one throws
himself on the first, tears him to
pieces and eats him. Famine plays
no part in the slaughter. It is time
for them to die, perhaps, and not be
ing able to die naturally, instinct
drives the undertaker to tear and eat
his fellow, heedless that he, Himself,
is being torn to pieces and eaten by
another. And so the horror goes on,
one eating the limbs of another, and
that other eating still another, until
the tragedy is over, until next year.—

WHAT FASTING FEELS LIKE
University of Chicago Professor Has
Made Public the Results of In
vestigations He Has Made.
In numerous descriptions of the ex
periences of man in the course of
more or less prolonged fasting, one
meets the repeated assertion that aft
er a brief initial period little or no
hunger whatever Is felt. Since it has
been well-established that the sensa-.
tion of hunger is induced by u certain
type of tonic and peristaltic contrac
tions of the empty or nearly empty
stomach, it must be assumed either
that these contractions are abolished
as a fpst proceeds or that the sensa
tions are decidedly modified.
A professor of the University of
Chicago has lately had an exceptional
opportunity to investigate these ques
tions. As the result of careful ob
servations on man during prolonged
intentional starvation, he found that
during the 15 days' complete fast and
the subsequent eight days of absti
nence from food with daily ingestion
of cotton fiber, the gastric hunger con
tractions of his subjects continued
with practically normal rhythm and
intensity; but the subjective sensa
tions induced by the gastric contrac
tions appeared to be somewhat weak
ened and tinged with an element of
gener; ! epigastric distress or sick
stomach.
Suttee.
The English government, after long
discouraging Mittees, by the agency of
Lord WHlian Ben ti nek formally abol
ished them in December, 1823, but
they have since occasionally taken
plaee. The wife of the son of the
Rajah of Beygoon thus perished In
June, 1804, and several wives of Sir
Tung Bnhadoor. minister of Nepaul,
on March 1, 1877. One voluntary sut
tee occurred at Poona, in November, i
1890, and It has continued to the pres
ent time in isolated parts of India,
for even as late as 1905 several per
sons who took part in a suttee in Be
hnr were condemned to penal servi
tude.

STUDY HOLDING OF CAMERA
Successful Work With the Instrument
Depends Largely on its Being in
Proper Position.
Successful lmnd-camera work de
pends largely on the power to give
slow shutter exposures with the cam
era held In the hand, and in this con
nection sufficient attention is rarely
given to the matter of “grip." It is
not enough to hold the camera firmly
a^hinst the chest or stomach. The
best position must be found by trial,
and this will vary with different in
dividuals and different makes of
camera. In general it will be found
that the most comfortable position is
the steadiest. At waist level the
hands will be usually placed sym
metrically on either side of the instru
ment, the right, near the release, for
ward, and the other a little behind.
When the camera is held at eye level,
one hand is usually held rather under
the instrument as a support, and the
other grips the back or side, or with
a folding type of camera both hands
may grip the back. With the very
small types, one hand often almost in
closes the instrument and releases the
shutter, whilst the other is used as a
support. At eye level it is often a
great assistance to a steady aim to
press the hack of the camera against
the check. Just as the feel of a fa
vorite gun gives confidence, so the
use of the camera should be familiar,
and regular and systematic practice
with the unloaded camera will lie a
great help in this. Trial exposures
should be given from time to time, and
the resulting negatives carefully ex
amined. At first fairly short exposures
only should be given, to gain confi
dence, gradually employing slower
speeds as the hand Is trained and
nerve is acquired.
FIRST RECORDED AIR FIGHT
Frenchmen, Rivals In Love, Had
Strange and Fatal Duel More Than
One Hundred Years Ago.
—
The first battle in the air and the
strangest duel in the long history of
the field of honor was fought 110
years ago near Paris. Two Frenchmen
were ardent rivals for the affections
ui u wuiimii, mm ou uilici uiu uicu
quarrel become that only blood could
wipe it out. Ordinary methods were
too tame for these fiery spirts, so it
was agreed that the duel should be
fought from balloons. The cause of
the trouble agreed to marry the vic
tor.
When the selected day arrived the
two fighters and their seconds repaired
to the meeting place, only to find a
great crowd assembled, for word of ,
the strange encounter had spread !
broadcast. The principals, however,
were undeterred. Two balloons, pre
cisely alike, had been prepared, and
into these they stepped. To each was
handed a carefully loaded blunderbuss.
The word was given and the moor
ings cast off. Slowly the balloons as
cended, almost side by side. At the
height of about half a mile, when the
great bags were but 80 yards apart,
the signal was given and both men
opened fire. Soon one of the ballooijs
collapsed and crashed to the earth.
The record says the woman kept her
promise and married the victor of the
aerial battle.
Dog Recognizes Portrait
In his reminiscences “Spy” sketches
my credulity, lie had painted a full
length portrait of his host at a country
house. When it was just finished he
came down early one morning to in
spect it—and found his host’s dog sit
ting up begging before the portrait of
his master.
It was Apelles, the ancient painter,
I think, who depicted grapes so realis
tically that the very birds pecked at
them. But in a long association with
dogs I have never found one who could
r/M»n(rnkp n fi'ruro nr a hindscane in a
picture.
Tlie nearest approach to such intel
ligence is when i have set a looking
gh'ss on the floor and confronted a clog
wiui his own likeness. He growls sus
piciously, uncomfortably, until he
walks behind to find the other dog—
that isn’t there!—London Chronicle.
Easy V/ay to Measure Distances. :
Boy scouts who are interested in
emulating deeds of their older friends
are practicing many engineering
stunts. One of the most interesting is
to measure distances without instru
ments and where the travel from point
to point is impracticable. The method
followed is one employed by Napoleon
when his engineers sought to learn the
distance across an unfordable river.
The little corporal took a position
on the bank at the water edge, gazed
across the stream until the opposite
shore line was just discernible below
the visor of his cap, then turned on his
beel and spotted a point at tbe same
level up stream. After this he paced
off tbe distance and bad it approxi
mately correct.
Common Heather Dying Out.
In the case of such a plant as the
common heather of England and Scot
land, found growing wild in Nova
Scotia, it is a matter of curious inter
est to determine whether it is native
to the soil or has been Introduced from
Europe. Lawson decided that the plant
had its home here. There was a time,
it is thought, when the plant was abun
dant in our northern lands, and its
present rare occurrence marks a dying
out of the species on this side of the
ocean. Its vigorous growth in Europe
is due to the circumstance that there
it is a young plant on virgin solL
