he would be glad to exchange conditions
with the boy at his stirrup or the hustler
that blankets his charger. The news goes
like wildfire all through the realm, and the
people are sympathetic. and they cry out.
"is it possible that our great hero. who
slew Ahab and around whom we came

that our grand and glorious Naamnn has

The reason of this is that God does not

At the Door of the Temple.

We are only in the vestibule of a grand
temple. God does not want us to stay on
the doorstep, and therefore he sends aches
and annoyances and sorrows and bcrcave-
meats of all sorts to push us on and push

‘ us uptoward rlpcrfruits and brightorsoclo-

[y and more radiant pmspcrltlcs. God is
only whipping us ahead. The reason that
Edward Payson and Robert liail had more

' rapturous views of heaven than other poo-

plo had was because, through their aches
and pains, God pushed them nearer up to
it. If God dashes out one of your pictures,
it is only to show to you a brighter one.
if he sting your foot with guilt, your brain
with neuralgia, your tongue with an inert-
tinguishnblo thirst, it is only liccnllsc he
is preparing to substitute a butter body

Scaled in his Syrian mansion. all the
walls glittering with tho sliiclds which he
had captured in battle, the corridors
crowded with admiring visitors who just
wanted to we him once, music. and mirth

There was one pcrson lnoro sylnpaiin-tlo

what she can do to alleviate her husband‘s
suffering. All rl-nil-dios have failed. 'l‘llf'

their bonds, as much as to say. “No cure,
no cure!" I think that tho oilicc suckers
had all folded up their rcronmlondaiions
and gollollomc. Probably most of the cm-
ploycca of the establishment had dropped
their Work and wore thinking of looking
for some other situation. What shall now
become of poor Seaman's wife? She must
havcsylnpothy somewhere. ill her despair
she goes to a little llchrcw captive, a
servant girl in her house. to whom she
tells the whole story, an sonlctllnos. when

Jesus Christ and toward heaven.

Years ago the astronomers calculated
that there months a world hanging at a
certain point in the heavens, and a large
prise was offered for some one who could
discover that world. 1' The telescopes from
the great observatories were pointed in
vain. but a girl at Nantucket, Mesa, fash-
ioned a telescope. and looking through it
discovered that star and won the prize and
the admiration of all the astronomical
world that stood alnazod at her genius.
And so it is often the case that grown peo-
ple cannot see the light. while some little
child bebolds the star of pardon, the stat

of Bethlehem, the morning star of Jesus.
“Not many mighty men, not many wise
men, are called, but God hath chosen the
weak things of the world to confound the
mighty, and base things and things that
are not to bring to naught things that
are." on, do not despise the prattle of lltv
tie children when they are speaking about
God and Christ and heaven. You see the
way your child is pointing. Will you take
that pointing or wait until, in the wrench
of some awful bereavement, God shall lift
that child to another world. and then it
will beckon you upward? Willyou take
the pointing. or will you wait for the heck-
onlngf. Blessed be God that the little
Hebrew captive pointed in the right direc»
tion. Blessed be God for the saving min-
istry of Christian children.
Seeking the Prophet.

No wonder the advice of this little He-
brew captive threw all Naunlan's mansion
and Ben-hadad's palace into excitement.

lotcer drive gently over the hills of Her-
mon, lest he jolt the invalid. Here goes
the bravest man of all his day. a captive
of a horriblodislmsc. As the ambulance
winds through the streets of Damascus
the tears and prayers of all the people go
after the world renowned invalid.

Perhaps you have had an invalid go out
from your house on a health excursion.
You know how the neighbors stood around
and said. "All, he will never come back
again alive!" ()h, it was a solemn mo-
ment. i tell you. when the invalid had lie-
pnrtcd, nml you wcnt into the room to
make the bed, and to remove the medicine
vials from the shelf, and to throw open
the shutters, so that the fresh air might
rush into the long closed room. Goodby,
Nnnlnnn! 'i‘ln-ro is only one cheerful face
looking at him, and that is the face of the
little lichrcw oaptlvc, who is sure he will

learn—that when God tells you to don

understand the reason or not. Take the
prescription, whether you like it or not.
One thing is certain. Unless haughty

Well, General Naaman could not'stnnd
the test. The cheriotecr gives a jerk to
the right line until the bit snaps in the
horse's mouth, and the whlr of the wheels
and the flying of the dust show the in-
dignation of the great commander. “He
turned and went away in a rage." So
people now often get mad at religion.
They vitupo-rate against minismragainst
churches. against Christian people. One
would think from thelrirate behavior that
God had been studying how to annoy and
exasperato and demolish them; What has
he been doing? Only trying to cure their
death dealing leprosy. That is all. Yet
they whip up their horses, they dig in the
spurs. and they go away in a rage.

So, after all, it seems that this health
excursion of General Naaman is to be a
dead failure. That little Hebrew captive
might as well have not told him of the
prophet. and this long journey might as
well not have been taken. Poor, sick, dy-
ing Naamani Are you going away in high
dudgoon and worse than when you came?
As his chariot halts a moment his serv-
ants clambcr up in it and coax him to do
as Elisha said. They say: “It‘s easy. if
the prophet had told you to walk for a
mile on sharp spikes in order to get rid of
this awful disease, you would have done
it. It is easy. Come, my lord, just get
down and wash in the Jordan. You take
a bath every day anyhow. and in this oil-
mate it is so hot that it will do you good.
Do it on our account. and for the sake of
the army you command. and for the sake
of the nation that admires you. Come,
my lord. just try this Jordanlc bath."
“Well." he says, "to please you I will do
as you say." The retlnue drive to the
brink of the Jordan. The horses paw and
neigh to get into the stream themselves
and cool their hot flanks. General Nau-

from the granite of the eternal hills. It is
the flood of pardon and peace and life sud
heaven. That flood started in the tears of
Christ and the sweet of Gethsemane and
rolled on, accumulating flood until all
earth and heaven could bathe in it. Zech-

ariah called it the "fountain open for sin‘

and uneleanness." William Cowper called
it the “fountain filled with blood." Your
fathers and mothers washed all their sins
and sorrows away in that fountain. Oh.

i suppose that was a great time at De-
mascus when General Nauman got back.
The chariotoers did not have to drive slow-
ly any longer. lest they jolt, the invalid,
but as the horses dashed through the
streets of Damascus I think the people
rushed out to ball back their chieftalu.

had to look at him two or three times before
she made out that it was her metered bus

Then music woke up the palace, and the
tapestry of the windows was drawn away.

with the princely mirth inside, and the

all the streets of Damascus that night
echoed and rc-cchood with the news: “Nua-

giadder time than that it would be if your
soul should get cured of its leprosy. The
swiftest white horses hitched to the King's
chariot would rush the news into the eter-
nal city. Ourloved ones before the throne
would welcome the glad tidings. Your
children on earth, with more emotion than
the little Hebrew captive, would notice
the change in your look and the change in
your manner and would put their arms
around your neck and say: “Mother. I
guess you must have become a Christian.
Father. I think you have got rid of tho
leprosy.” 0 Lord God of Elisha. have

Couslnly.

Among the hardest things which the
infant Prince Edward of the royal house
of England, the infant son of the Duke of
York and heir apparent to the throne,
will have to straighten out when he is
older is his relationship to his own father
and mother. It constitutes a problem such
as is seldom found outside of princely
houses.

it is certain, however. that he is the
third cousin of his father and also the sec-
ond cousin of his mother. This makes
his relationship to himself somewhere be-
tween that of a third and fourth cousin.

lie is, as it were. his own double third
cousin, a relationship which it will doubt-
less take some time for him to compro-
hcnd.

Both his father and mother are descend-
cd from Gmrge ill of England. George
lll’s son Adolphus. duke of Cambridge,
had a daughter Mary, who married the
Duke of Tack and became the mother of
the Princess May, who married the Duke
of York, and the Duke of York’s father,
the Prince of Wales. is the great-grandson
of the same King George ill.

The young prince will have the right to
address either his mother. father or him-
self ns"lny royal cousin," and he may
perhaps excuse any portllll'lly for his
mothorovor his father by declaring that
she is a ncnrcr relation to him than his
father.

The princely families of Europe supply
many similar t‘llat’fi of tangled relation-

marriages of cousins in Ill-llrcr or rt-molcr
