Topic.—A iervice of promise*.—John xir, 1-14. A full length portrait in oil of Alexander Hamilton, painted from life by John Trumbull in 1792, is the most valuable picture in the large collection of portraits of old New Yorkers owned by the chamber of commerce. It is valued at from 925,000 to $40,000, but the chamber of commerce would not part with it for a much larger sum than the highest figure mentioned. The portrait is not only a work of art, but it has had an extraordinary history, which enhances its historic value. It was recovered by the chamber after having been lost in this city for a long period. a Famous Painting. Donna Clotilde stamped her foot upon the planking of the bridge. NATIONAL SERIES, AUG. 13. The precionsness, number and variety of Qod's promises in Christ are strikingly illustrated in this passage of Scripture. God's fidelity to His piomises is also Tevealed, for some of them have already been fulfilled. Here are 14 verses, the dying words of Christ to His disciples. And yet laden down with the richest and most precious promises, in their extent embracing the end of time —yes, even the breadth of eternity. Let us study some of these invalnable promises here recorded. Otis Skinner is to star in "Hamlet," and so is Lewis Morrison. "No," he said. "I have my clear sight, miss.

You have a wife in England, I know, bnt that is nothing. Divorce is eimple here. I have influence with the chnrch. You be set free in a day. Am I not the woman you would choose?" 1. "The hand of the Lord was upon me and carried me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set mo down In the midst of the valley which was full of lDones." In verse 11 we read that these bones are the whole house of Israel, and verse 22 says that God will yet make them one nation under one king in their own land. This has never been fulfilled since the days of Ezekiel, but it surely will be, for Jehovah hath spoken it, and He will do it (xxxvi, 36). The interpretation of this lesson is like the last—concerning Israel—but - the application to all believers is very simple and practical.

CHAPTER L 1. The promise of a future home in heaven. "In My Father's house are many mansions. * * • I go to prepare a place for yon • • • that where I am there ye may be alao." What a precious promise we have here. Millions of dying pillows have been lightened by it and millions of broken, bereaved hearts comforted by these priceless words of Christ. No promise of Christ is more often read than thia one. None has brought greater comfort and strength to His disciples amid the afflictions, bereavements, temptations and hardships of life. Some time ago a local artist obtained permission to copy this portrait of Hamilton, and in order that he might do his work more conveniently the large picture was removed from its place on a temporary easel in the executive committee room. Between the hour of closing the chamber of commerce rooms one evening and the arrival of Secretary Wilson at his. office the next morning an accident happened which left an ugly rent in this historic canvas. Fortunately the hole did not touch the figure of Hamilton, nor did it mar the picture to any extent. Secretary Wilson, however, manifested much indignation over the mishap and declared that whoever was res pons.-le should be held to a strict accountability. One of the sweepers, who ordinarily was careful and trustworthy, admitted with much trepidation that he had accidentally poked a broom handle through the canvas. After administering a lecture such as he deemed the seriousness of the offense warranted Secretary Wilson excused the culprit. The sweeper was in a very regretful mood, but as he gased first on the aged painting and then on the bright, new copy which stood near by a look of relief came into his face. He looked sagely into Mr. Wilson's face and said, "It wor bad enough as it is, Mr. Wilson, but, by jiminy, I'm glad that it wor not the new one that got hit"—New York Times.

I think it mnst have been thii sprncenees and nothing else whick made him find favor in the eyes of ac fastidious ■ person m Clotilde h Touche. But, be this as it may, it is c fact that Donna Clotilde saw tbC man from her carriage as be walkec along the Paseo de Colon, promptly asked his name, and, getting no immediate reply, dispatched one of hei admirers there and then to make his ac quaintance. The envoy was instructed to find ont who be was and contrive that Donna Clotilde should meet the little sailor at dinner in the cafe of the Lion d'Or that very evening. "Miss La Touche, yon are my employer.""I thank yon, captain, for yonr offer," she said at length, "and I accept it as freely as it was given. I have bad proposals of similar service before. "Yes," she said curtly. "Answer my question." "Then, miss, if you will have it. "Very well, miss, then we shall be aboard of that war steamer in less than 15 minntes." He bade his second mate call aft the crew, but instead of remaining to meet them he took a keen glance at the bark's canvas, another at her wake, another at the moored cruiser ahead, and then, after peering thoughtfully at the clouds that sailed in the sky, he went to the companionway and dived below. The crew trooped aft and stood at the break of the quarter deck waiting for him. And in the meanwhile they feasted their eyes on Donna Clotilde la Touche. Max Pemberton, the English novelist, is dramatizing hii jtories, "Kronstadf' and "The Garden of Swords." Addison Bright is assisting in the dramatizations. Clarence Fleming, who successfully managed Roslna Yokes and John Hare in this country, has undertaken the management of Harry Corson Clarke's starting tour next season.

There could hardly be a more striking illustration of deadness or lifelessness than dry bones, and this was the condition of Israel in the time of Ezekiel. Some were in Babylon, some in Egypt and some still in Emmanuel's land. There were a few like Ezekiel, Daniel and Jeremiah, who walked with God, but the nation as a whole had rebelled against God. "But. yon see, miss," said Kettle, "I prefer to be linked to a lady who is my superior—as I am linked at present. If it pleases you, we had better end this talk." A new vaudeville, in which a prominent actress is to appear, would seem to show the wonderful marriage possibilities of this country, in a title which runs "A Widow at 7." [ ■* A 0 I- 2. The promise of His second coming. "I will come again." If they had only understood Him, how the disciples would have been comforted in the midst ot their sorrows, how they wonld have been inspired to increased zeal and fidelity in His canse. Christ has gone (rom earth, bnt, meat precious promise, He is coming again. Jacob Litt has changed the name of Edwin Arden's romantic play that he will produce next season from "The Children of Israel" to "Zorah." The change has been made in order that theiv may be no confusion with "The Children of the Ghetto," which will also be one of the coming season's productions. "I know nothing about Lord Cochrane, Mr. Silva. He was dead before my time. But whatever people may have done to him I can tell any one who cares to hear that the man who's talking to yon now is a bit of an awkward handful to laugh at No. sir; I expect there'll be trouble over it, but you may tell Miss La Tonche we shall have the Cancelario if she'll stay in Tampiqne bay till I can drive this old lavender box up to her." Presently Captain Kettle returned to deck, aggressive and cheerful, and faced the men with bauds in his jacket pockets. Each pocket bulged with something heavy, and the men, who by this time bad come to understand Captain Kettle's ways, began to grow quiet and nervous. 8. "And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Qod, thou knowest!" Many would have said that it was simply impossible, for many say today that a dead body will never rise again; that the dead body that is buried in the earth shall never see life. Ezekiel, by the Spirit of Qod upon him, did not presume to say what Qod could or could not do, but meekly answered as in this verse. Tbe dinner was given in the patio ot the cafe, where palm fronds filtered the moonbeams and fireflies competed with tbe electric lights, and at a moderate computation tbe cost of the viand* wonld have kept Captain Kettle supplied with his average rations for ten months or a year. He was quite aware of tbia and appreciated tbe entertainment none tbe worse in consequence. 8. The promise of power, "He that believeth in Me, the works that I do, shall he do also, and greater worka than these shall he do, because I go nnto My Father." Divine power is here promised. The work that Christ did the disciples were to do and even greater works. Christ was going to His Father, the sonrce of all power, and thence He would be able to give them qyen greater power. This promise was fulfilled to the disciples. The power of Christ became their power. They performed miracles, as He had performed them, and even greater spiritual works were performed by them after the Holy Ghost came. By belief, by faith we can possess this power to do wonderful works for Christ Bi«« It. ! "Do yCw approve of coeducational ■choolst" asked the father of three lively boys.

But Miss Tonche here, who ia employing both you and me. just for the present, intends to set up a government of her own, and as a preliminary she wants that ship. We've got to gcab it for her." 4. "Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!' To speak to dry bones seemed a foolish and vain thing, for there was nothing in a dry bone that oould possibly hear or respond. Many find it hard to believe that an unsaved soul is as dead as a dry bone and think that there must be a spark of the divine somewhere in every sinner that oan respond to the voice of God.

"Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones, Behold I will cause breath to enter into you and ye shall live!'\ The whole Bible from beginning to end is a record of what God has dono, is doing and will do and a testimony to the great truth that with God nothing is impossible (Math, xix, 26).

A real book was out of the question but I knew that Rakin-Din and the office plant were at my disposal if I did not use the office time. Also, I had handled in the previous year a couple of amal: books of which I was part owner, anc had lost nothing. So there was built sort of a book, a lean, oblong docket wire stitched, to imitate a D. O. govern' ment envelope, printed on on* side onlj bound in brown paper and secured with red tape.

Oh, the privilege and power of prayer. We may not understand the philosophy of prayer, bat we can accept the promise of Christ to answer onr prayers. si "That's right," said Kettle.

But God Himself has taught us the contrary. It is a characteristic of His infinite nature that He is able and willing to interest Himself in every one of His created beings, and that He literally does this. It is only acting the part of a true believer, therefore, to appreciate that divine leadinga are vouchsafed to us for our following, nor does experience fail to confirm the fact. Thousands of believers have borne witness to it in emphatic language.

The result was that the dog went between the legs of the tramp and rolled that individual over on his back. The wheelman struck dog and tramp and took a header over them. The wheelman struck frantically at the dog, and his blow landed on the nose of the tramp, while the dog made an assault on the tramp and, missing him, made life exciting for the wheelman.

Can a lawyer practicing at the bar be at the same time a manual worker? This question is now agitating the members of the legal profession in Hungary.
