A great deal of his time the Boer expends on horseback or in ithe ox ' wagon trekking from one part of the country to the other.1 His nomadic habits oblige him to get his ; dinner with his rifle.

MOBILITY OF BOER TROOPS. . 1 heir Military System Has ; Brought U to 1'erfection. f The celerity with which rhe 'Rnm mobilized their army in the beginning of the present war excited the admira tion and wonder of the whole rivilied world. Their preparedness for the conflict showed that they had been arming and hoarding ammunition and supplies tor some time back. The dis . 1. -. 1 1 - i .... paicn wun wrucn tneir troops were mobilized and brought-to the front will be more readily understood when the conditions tinder which j they live are taken into consideration. When in 1848 the Boers trek kA into the present country to escape the oppres sion of their foes they found them selves: face to face with hostile horde of savages, ever on the alert to cut off stragglers and to attack isolated farms Then was laid the foundation of , the present miliary svstem of the Rnm To understand it one must bear in mind, first, that the Boers do not live m towns, onlv a few of them have made, cities their residence and these are mostly officials; the rest of the town population are foreigners.

Kantner last evening: f A Oiapter Out of One Mail s Salva tion Experience PsaVms 40, 1-3. I One of the strongest proofs of the isupernaturaj cburacter and universal adaptability of the Bible is the .fact that it echoes universal ex-penencei It finds men at greater depths than any other book. It lifts men to greater heights than any other book. 1 here are chapters m the Bible that seem almost like chapters out of tV ite of each one of us. so accurately do they picture, spiritual experience, and so vwith . all our differences 'there? is much of similarity in the story of our religious' life. The language that" con stitutes any text seems like one of those chapters out of every Christian's life history. In figurative laneuace it tells the story of one man's salvation, arid n it there is the echo -of the story of every man s salvation. i The Lord finds men in strange places sometimes, but lie finds them. -, I have known ot men beiTwr saved in a saloon in a gambling den. and in -other equally strange places. The Holv'Soirit is not coofii ed to a Single place in savins men. in the text the man who ncM divine, help is in a horrible pjt. in Ithe miry clay, that s where -the Lord hnds many of us. In the mire nf isin in the ure of unbelief, in the miri of seii-nghteousnesSi or in the mire of! in difference. Some men are there and are not conscious )of it, but when they come to the consciousness bf their for lorn and . helpless condition the Christ stands by to help them. Their great need and His great love causes Him to lend a listening ear to the cry for help, and so intensely is He interested in the men in the mre that die inclines, bends down, to thm. as--we behold in the incarnation tha He'raay save them Then notice the progressive charact er of the help. He brings them up. places their feet on the rock, puts a new song in their mouth, establishes their goings, and Uses them as inslru mentahties in leading others into the sa"'c hfe of trust and blessedness. ..Tnf.Go! who savd this sinner of the olden time is the, same in His pow er, and wilhngness today, and so is man in his condition of . ta it- m vv sa. 11 ir nd 11 Bord of Dlietora mm OOlecrs XTmrw K. elected Proaperou Yra Boil- , BCU DOM. - I !
