AN EXECUTION IN INDIA. ■he Way a Baa GaUty of Harder Ce-

Save the Treea. Gifford Plncbot. chief of the bureau of forestry of the department of agriculture. bas asked the house committee on agriculture to favor the appropriation of 55.000.000 for the us bis bureau. This b a large sum of money, and congress will be likely to look into the matter carefully befort granting the request. Yet It must be said that forestry has come to be a very Important branch of gorernmen tal supervision, and the good results that hare followed stimulation of the science of caring for trees cannot be denied. Some figures cited In thlr connection, says the Troy Times. In dicate that the money would not be wasted. The standing timber In the national forest reserves Is worth 1700. 000.000. and the whole property In charge of the department and the bu reau aggregates In value Si.400.000. 000. To properly protect these pos sessions, saying nothing about the extension of forestry work. Is no small task The Interests to be guarded are large, and doubtless congress will take all the facts Into doe considers-

A letter from India to a German paper gives this account of the exec near Bombay of a man who had found guilty of the murder of kb brother-in-law: "The question ■ whether the culprit should be ex* or sent to prison tor life was, as b the custom, submitted to the family of the murdered man for decision. AT rinding the wife of the murdered, voted for death. When the place of ecutlon was retched the condemned man knelt, and the ropes which i fastened to him were banded ora the executioner’s assistants. The who held the neck rope took a few step* twfore the kneeling man and the other two stood at either side. Then the executioner, armed with a edged, heavy knife, advanced and asked In a loud voice. 'Who author!*** the executiony and the chief of police answered. The taw.' The question -as asked and answered three times, while the armed man advanced, slowly swinging the mighty blade. Ai answer was beard an assistant executioner thrust a needle point Into the kneeling man's back and be made roluntary motion forward with hb head. The three rope* were pulled taut, leaving the neck extended t utmost. At the same instant the knife whirred through the air and the of the murderer rolled In the sand

Every year in th# Rnmal country, India, a marria;e lottery—a sort of sweethearts : weep—Is held The names of all the mairiagcable glrb and of the yonng men of the circle who want to get married are written on allps of paper and thrown Into separate eertherr |oU.

There la nothing Improbable appearing In human form In the earl; _ teaching spiritual things to men. any more than In his coming In the human form of Jesus Christ, and reason, namely, to 1mpress Indelibly and vividly upon the human race the reality of the presence and power and character of God. They are object lessops teaching a Keal

truth.

hard lesson to learn, and many even now have not learned It. that God Is a living power among the affairs of men. and participates In them: that the word U true. “Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall Inherit salvation?" (Heb. 1:14), and that he "maketh winds his messengers, hi* ministers a flaming fire" (Psa. 104:4). Answer to Abraham's Prayer. First.—Aa In all true prayer. It was by praying and the answer to prayer that Abraham became a closer friend of God. became acquainted with him. Thus we become acquainted with others by seeking the same end. counseling together, asking and receiving: i a son with his father. Second.—It was answered In the es cap* of Lot, the one righteous man In th4 city. He escaped, but lost his home, some rf his children, hb Bock ant herds, and all hb property, escaped a poor, forlorn, seemingly broken down man. The poorest investmeet he ever made was In property In Sodom. He was an Ulnstratlon'of the apoeties appeal In 1 Cor. J; 1J-15 Listen to the angel's warning. Stay not In an the plain. It b not enough go outside of th^ walls of tbe Sodom of flagrant acta of sin. open crimes and disreputable and degrading vices; but we must not stay in that region but keep as far away from sin ss possible, from thoughts of sin. from secret sin. Listen to Christ's warning, remem her Lot's wife. Look not back. Make no ddlay In escaping from sin. Let no regrets at the pleasures of sin stop your onward course to the place ot a holy life and heaven. She did not merely turn her bead and look while hasting away, but stopped behind, and the fiery storm and eruption of liquid saline mud overtook her. Third.—Abraham's, prayer was answered In the destruction of Sodom, for that was essential to the promotion of righteousness which Abraham had most at heart, and alto essential to the best good of his nephew Lot God often answers the soul of our prayers while denying the form. When a little child asks hla father for the moon. thinjdng It a bright plaything tbe father answers tbe child's prayer by glriag him the plaything which he really wants, and not the moon, which be doe* not want, for the gift would crush him to death. Giving him the moon would not be answering his prayer. God want* all men to be saved — saved first ot all from their sins, for all other salvation depends upon this He longs for sinners tn repent He desires with all hb nature that all men would so 11 v* that It may be possible to save them. But they must be saved from ala and not in sin. The fore he sent hb only begotten Son. — — to the coi try 1* unrighteousness The anci< civilisations have perished by tl •-s. £ pa
