. “Serve" is the key word to this
, , It is found in some form at least

to ue'that we are saved in order

pugn looking away from all else (Heb. xii,
T,’ 16-18. “Therefore will we also serve the
Lord, for He is our God.” This is the
conclusion of the people’s reply ‘to Josh-
’s words. They acknowledge that the
Loud their God brought them out of
knit, preserved them in all the way and
light them into the land. Therefore
they should certainly serve Him, and not
nthcrgmls. ,Their fathers had, however,
made asgood resolutions as these at lioreb
lien they said, .“All that the Lord hath

(Hath. vi, 534). The people of on Holy God
must be a holy people (Lev. xix, 2; xx, 7,

n translated “jealous" is the same word that
'"is also translated “bought" or “purchas-
” so that the bought in “jealous" is
ply that of clai ing what is rightfully
His own. We are not our own, but bought
with a price, that He may be glorified in
”til. We are a people for His own posses-
“ lion (1 Cor. vi, 19, 20; Titus ii, 14, R. V.).
We are to serve Him with a perfect or
,whole heart (1 Chron. xxviii, 9), with huo
futility (Acts xx, 19,) with gladnoss (Ps. o,
8 , with the Spirit (Rom. i, 0), and con-
,, ually (Dam vi, 16, 20). 0f ourselves
‘wucannot do this, but Christ can, and a
’ Christian should be able to say truthfully,
"I live, yet not I, but Christ iiveth in the"
£21. ii, 20). It is written of Him, V‘Tbe
of Man came to minister,’}‘ I am
‘_ among you as lie that sorvetb," "if any
,man serve Me, him will My Father honor”
(Natl). xx, 28: Luke xxii, :17; John xii,
90). When We are fully yielded to Him
according to Rom. xii, l, :3, Ho will work
, inns both to will and to do (Phil. ii, 13;
" Heb. xiii, 21).
21. “And the people said unto Joshua,
‘ Nay, but we will serve the Lou ." They
seem very sincere and determined by His
_ to serve Him, and we find that they
did serve Him all the days of Joshua, and
of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had
‘ loan the great Works of the Lord that lie
, for Israel (verso ill; Judg. ll, 7).
‘ . ”Anti Joshua sold out the people,
Yo amwitncssosagninst you .oivos that ye
hive chosen you the Lord to serve Him.”
When we take a stand for the Lord, it
W of necessity be against ourselves, for
we are bynaiuro against God, ”The carnal
mind is enmity against God, for it is not
. lubjcct to the law of (ind, neither indeed
can be" (liom. viii, 7). Our Lord also
' said, “if any man will come after Ms, let
him deny himself" (Math. xvi, 24). From
beginning to end of the Christian life it is
a continued stand against self for (ind.

There are over lOOminenllhnWilto
connotes. without counting the sap»
rate varieties of many of the general
divisions. Mr. Bodmell'iboob deals
notonly with mining methods, but also
with the range of prices and dividends
paid from year to year. We dad that
1804 will go down in history as the
year of low prices in the whole indus-
trial world. For this reason. while the
production of some minerals decreased
very little, if at all, their money value
decreased very considerably. In copper,
for instance, there wasin production an
actual increase of 20,250,000 pounds,
but the price was so low that the cop-
per industry fell off in value 81,039,-
508. During 1894 the production of
pig iron fell off about 400,000 tons,
but this was in the early part of the
year. At the close of 1894 the fur.
naces were running full time, and this
year'tbe promise is that the high water
mark of pig iron production, 9,000,000
tons, will even be exceeded.
The United States decreased the min-
ing of silver last year by 18 per cent,
but the. decline in value of the product
was 83.0 per cent. In spite of this the
United States still remains the greatest
silver country of the world. Last year,
we mined about 50,000,000 ounces of
silver. .
The gold outlook is, on the W.
encouraging. The actual increase of
production in this country was last year
not quite $4,000,000 over 1893. There
'Was a gain of $0,749,727 over 1892. We
find one point of especial interest in the
fact that the mining of gold has been
reduced to bottom cost—lower than
ever before. Gold ores can now be re-
duced for $8 per tea, with miners’
wages at $2.50 to $3.50a day. Another
cheering fact is stated by Mr. Rothwell
as follows: “The time is evidently ripe
for applying improved processes to the
treatment at low grade gold ores, of
which we have great quantities at many
different points in the Rocky mountain
region and on the Pacific coast as well
as in the southern states. "
Will Not Enlist In the Navy.
The number "of - our cruisers appears
to be increasing faster than the willing-
ness of American boys to become sea-
men aboard of them. In fact, our new
navy threatens to be manned almost
entirely by Scandinavians, except as to
its officers. The ordinary seamen are
well treated. When a man first enlists,
he receives $19 a month, with food,
clothes and lodging. Experienced scu-
men get $24 a month and have three
months at home on land out of a three
years' cruise.
Still the native American boys will
not enlist aboard our beautiful new
warships. The reason is a credit to their
heads and hearts. They will not accept
places in which there is no chance to
rise. A common seamen in our navy,
although he have the brains of a Farra-
gut, will never be promoted to any rank
higher than that of boatswain or gen-
ner. The officers' places are reserved for
the spruce young graduates of Annapolis
Naval academy. As a sailor said of
these: “Before they can tie a rope yard
properly they give orders to old seamen.
In any sort of a blow these kids become
so rattled that they don‘t know what
they are about.“
Plainly congress next winter needs
to pass a law making any place,»even
that of admiral, open before the enlisted
scallion who studies navigation and fits
himself to take command. He ought to
be in regular line of promotion to the
very highest rank.
Itis to the interest of the United
States to cultivate the friendliest rela-
tions will) Japan. If there were no
other reasons than llw,low down one of
pocket consideratimw, that of itself
would bo sullieient. Japan is one of
the best nnn‘li‘ols for our export trade.
Japan is going to have some of the
ships of her new navy made here.
She calls constantly for American
teachers. nurohnniw, engineers, elec-
tricians. military own and scientists
to enter her service, paying them
the highest price therefor. Japan has
new the friendliest fooling t word
as. in the voryuniikeiyeaseo ny dis-
pute between as and any of the powers
of Europe Japan would be sure to be on
our side, and it innit not be forgotten
that Japan is to be a great powur in the
future. The little brown men have the
pluck and intellectual force of giants.
The man, therefore, who endeavors to
stir up a feeling against J openers immi-
gration into this country is an idiot.

The Russian government had better
luck than our government did in the
test of American made armor plate. All
that the Bethlehem company seat to

that the man's experts accepted the full

mutant than they weretcward their

It i true that General Grant was a

not even stand the smell of powder dur-
ing the war.
Organized Farmers of France.
The agricultural syndicate organised
a few years age in France has succeeded
beyond expectation. Three per cent of
all the population of France belong to
one or another branch of this great so
ciety. In brief, it is a cooperative or-
ganization for controlling the buying
of supplies, the selling price of farm
year. If a given crop is scarce in one
locality, this fraternity of farmers will
inform their brethren who have a sur~
plus, and the commodity will go
quickly to the point where the price is
best. The most difiicnlt problem will he
the holding of the selling prices in their
own hands and fixing these prices
themselves, but they are a closely
united that even thisihey are ginning
to be able to do.
African explorations have demonstrat-
ed the fact that, while the coast of the
dark continent in many places is un-
healthy for white men, portions
of the interior may be inhabited by
them with entire safety and comfort.
This is because of the vast tabielands
that stretch through much of the coun-
try. Thero is a region at least two-
thirds as large as all Europe that can be
occupied with rich profit by white men.
Sir John Kirk, who was with Living-
stone on his second journey into Africa,
said at the geographical congress that-
wherever the land was 5,000 feet above
sea level it was healthy for white peo«
pie. Much of the high land in Africa is
in the vicinity of Lake Nyassa, and
most of it of course is in the British
African possessions. The soil of this
region teems with fertility. and its min-
eral resources are as yet unknown.
There is no danger for a century at
least that there will not be new regions
enchigh for the white race to conquer.
It would be Wm‘ili living a century
more only to see the changes that will
occm in Africa.
There is to be an immense trade in
rabbits from Australia, and Australian
rabbits will come into competition
with American pork in Great Britain,
and they will be cheaper. Their most

very quickly cooked, and it is exceed-

factory operatives will be able to have

tralia will turn her greatest post into
