''' Women's Influence for Good.EDITOR, REPUBUCAN • May-we

ask you to print the followingextract from an article by MissJane Addaras. "Chicago, .onespring had an epidemice of scarletfever just at the time that the schoolnurses had been discontinued be-cause business men had pronouncedthem too expensive. If the womenwho sent their children.to the schoolshad been sufficiently public-spiritedand had been provided with animplement through 'which toexpressthat public spirit, they would haveinsisted .thatthe schools be suppliedwith nurses, in order that theirown children might be protectedfrom, contagion; In of her words,if women would effectively continuetheir old avocations, they. musttake part in In? slow Upbuilding ofthat code of legislation which isalone sufficient to protect the homefrom the dangers incident to mod-ern life. One might instance themany deaths of children from con-tagious disease, the germs of whichhave been carried in tailored cloth-ing. Couuty Doctors testify as tooutbreak of scarlet fever in remoteneighborhoods each autumn, afterthe children have begun to wearthe winter overcoats and cloakswhich have been sent from infectedcity sweat-shops. Thaij. their,mothers mend their stockings andguard them from "taking cold,"is not a sufficient protection, whenthe tailoring of the family is 'donein a distant city, under conditionswhich the mothers cannot possiblycontrol. The sanitary regulationof the sweat shops by city officialsis all that can be depended upon toprevent such needless destruction.VViio shall gay that women are notconcerned jn^he enactment and en-forcement of such legislation if theywould preserve their homes ?"

The Rusty ChainsN the olden days, when

there were no railwayscrossing the plains ofthe Mississippi valley,there was a stage roadleading from St. Joseph,Missouri, to Denver,

Colorado. Some distance back fromSt. Joseph, or "St. Joe," as it is fam-iliarly called, and liack from the Mis-souri River, was a relay station named

: Kenneth, consisting of a general store,a postoflK'e, and several dwelling-houses.

The largest house In t h i s village,was a (nicer, rambllni: a f fa i r , wi th onelarge gable in t l i o tV-ont. and a long.low wintf to t i n - back. Thlf housewas really the hotel of the village,and its occupant. Colonel noodin, wasagent to t l i e sur rounding trilies of In-dinns. As a hotel-keeper, the colonelwas i | ( i t t t successful. As Mouses werevery s r ; i r e«> in. that region at t ha ttime, a n i l ' i sual ly too small to a>;commodal«• many people, the colonel lurlsomewhat of a monopoly In the .loilg-'ins"*of travelers.

One evening i" June .if 18fi-, twoboys. Tom and Nelson S w a r t by name,1

drove into the yard of the Boodin,residence, The colonel was busilychopping wood. '

"Good evening!" said Tom. the older boy.

"Good evening!" returned thecolonel. "I suppose you want to stayall night at my place?"

"That's exactly what we want," re-jplied Tom.

"All right." said the colonel. "Justdrive out into the barn-yard and putTip your teams. Put them In the two.stalls in the south end of the barn,and put your wagons in the southshed. Supper will 'be ready In abouthalf .an hour." Then he went on withhis wood-chopping. These boys werenauling heavy timbers for buildingpurposes to a little town some fifty]miles up the trail, and had onjy thejrunning-gears of their wagons, to•which the lumber was fastened bymeans of log-chains tied about themiddle of the loads.

That evening the boys listened withthe keenest attention" to the colonel'sst6ries of narrow escapes from theIndians, and of trapping and hunting.At about ten o'clock, he showed themup-stairs to a room in the long backwing of the house. They slept sound-ly, and were up at break of day to getstarted on.their way; but when theywent to hitch up, they found thatcoth .of their log-chains were gone.They went to their host at once, andtold him of their Ipss.

"It's them pesky Indians," he said."They come round here and stealwhatever they can lay their handson. I don't see what they want withlog-chains, but I suppose they wantthem for something, or they wouldn'ttake them."

"But what are we going to do?"queried Tom. "We can't keep tholumber. on our wagons without thechains to tie It on. Is there anyplace near where wo could get somemore?"

"Not a place that I know of, unlessyou would go over to Leetonla."Leetonla was twelve miles away onanother trail.

"But Unit would tuko ao long," mildTom, "and wo promised to huvo thislumber at Tllton by to-morrow night."

The colonel reflected for a few mo-uientH. "Well," lie said, slowly, "Idon't Ht-e an thorn IH any way that Ican help yoii except, to let you takemy two old li>K-c:halnn, If you t h i n kt h e y wi l l do. They're p r e t t y run ty ,though."

"They'll lio better i h i t n none," mt l i lTom.

" ( • ( l ine di l l and nee them," "aid l lmcol i in i ' l , leading the w u y to a » h < - i lthat Hloiul near the liarn.

anything like that on your chain thatyou would know It by?"

"Yes," said Tom. "there was onel i n k about the center that was twist-ed a good deal, and I guess that -Iwould know it."

He went over to his wagon and in-spected the l i n k s of the chain. Sure

' enough , there was the twisted linkin the same old place. The strangercame over to the wagon, too.

"That's an old siimo ot Uoodln's,"he said. "We old freighters are allup to it . but whenever anybody newconies along with, a logging-chain, heslips out to the shed when they areasleep;' and takes off the, chain anddips it I n t o a hig hogshead of stronghr ino in a l i t t l e room at the north enduf his shed. By morning it is coveredw i t h rust . I don't know what he doesput i n t o the brine that makes thechain rust, so fast. Then when thele l low can't find his chain, Boodinfiives him the Indian story, and sellsthe fellow his own chain at abouthalf-price."

"Why doesn't somebody have himarrested for it?" cried the boys, in-dignantly.

"Well, it would he hard for any-body to prove that he did it. And henever does it twice on the same per-son."

"I'll bet he'll never do it the secondtime wjth us!" said Tom, hotly.

It was the following Tuesday even-ing when the bos, on their return,arrived at the colonel's again. Hecame out to meet them as pleasantand talkative as ever, and they didnot betray by their actions that theybad found out his trickery.

Shortly after they drove in, a friendof theirs, Will Beuton, who was alsohauling lumber, drove into the yard.He put up his horses at the same timethat the boys did, and as the colonelwas not in hearing, they told him allabout the colonel's little way withChains.

Will listened with indignant eyes."We'll fix the old man!" he said. "I'djust-like to see him take my chainand soak It_in salt water!"

"He'll try" it to-night," said Tom,confidently. "Say, can't we watchround and,catch him at it?" And soonthey decided to try.v

When bedtime came, ColonelBoodin put the two Swart boys In thesame room that they had occupied before, and then he led Will to a roomin the same wing two doors away.Then they heard him go back downthe long stairway and sit down in thecreaking chair that he had occupiedall evening. Now was their chanceto get out of the house without hlaknowing of it.

Bolting the doors of their roomsfrom the Inside, they climbed out onthe roof of a long porch, clambereddown the lattice, and were at thobarn In a few moments.

There was a hay-loft Just over theflhed where their wagons wero stand-ing, and they climbed up Into this andlay down. They had not beon theremore than fifteen minutes when uman came Into the shed, shut thedoor after him, struck a match, andlighted the lantern he carried. look-ing down through the cracks, theyHIIW that It waH thn colonel, l ln he-gun at once, to undo tho chain fromWill's wagon. Then he carried ItInto the l i t t le room Mint opened offt in- end of the Bhod, nnd t h e y couldheap him drop It Into Homo lli|iild.

AEROTHERAPEUTICS.

Aorotherapeutics is the long, mod-ern name for a very simple, old-fash-

' ioned thing. It means the treatmentof disease by fresh air. 'Medicalscience has come to realize that the

' treatment is helpful, and even icura-| tivo, in more than one of the pnyslcol' ills of mankind,I As for tuberculosis, sufferers havealmost learned that if they wish to becured they must go outdoors and staythere—of course with proper precau-tions against too great exposure. Butfew persons realize how many othertroubles can be benefited by aerother-chills and every other sort or. respira-tory trouble. Patients who suffer fromapeutics.

Doctors now avail themselves of itin pneumonia, in the acute as well asthe convalescent stage; also in bron-anemla or poor nutrition benefitgreatly from this treatment, and sodo those who have serious diseases ofthe heart, kidneys, or other vital or-gans. Al l these patients are muchmore comfortable if they will consentto stay in the open-air, and theirlives can of ten be greatly prolongedby doing so.

Obstinate nervous troubles—like iti-.somnia, melancholia, and neurasth-enia—often yield to the treatment;rows of cots on roofs and porches areas much a matter of course in themodern sanitarium as the nurses:-6rthe diet sheets.

We are so used to thinking othouses as essential to comfort that itseems almost cruel to some persons*to "drive" the sick out into the open,but the wonders that fresh air worksare not to be denied. The question Isstill asked, "Sha'n't I catch cold?"And the answer is an emphatic "No."It is the people who live In housesthat "catch cold." Arctic explorersand hunters in the wilderness havetroubles of their own, but catchingcold is not one of them. It is safe tosay that there Is scarcely a diseaseor an ailment that cannot be eithercured or benfited by life in the openair, both day and night.

A BROTHER TO THE WORLD.

A police officer boarded the train ina small Maine city one day iast fallwith a. prisoner, whom he was takingto the jail at the county seat. Ayoung farmer followed them into thecar and took the opposite seat. Un-daunted by the officer's stern faceand brass buttons, the young man en-gaged cheerfully In conversation.

"Nice day," he remarked.The officer grunted, but that was

all. I"I see the Giants won yesterday,"

THROUGH UNCLE CYRUS' EYES.

Long past Is the day when AuntMartha shuddered at eight of an auto-mobile. Of the countless cars pass-Ing the Corners nowadays, not Infre-quently one stops at the hospitable oldfarmhouse, for Aunt Martha's, dough-nuts have become famous. Some per-sons rate Uncle Cyrus' conversationeven higher. .His views are alwaysrefreshing, sane, and sunny.

One Wternoon a chauffeur appearedat the vineshaded porch, and askedto buy some milk; his lady, he ex-plained, was terribly worried becauseher little Totsle would not eat.

"We don't sell milk," said UncleCyrus, "but we'll gladly accommodateyour folks."

maid, and chauffeur, bearing impedi-menta. The lady herself carried littleTotsie, whom she could trust to noone of her suite, and who, depositedcarefully In the biggest rocker, prov-ed to be a small, white terrier.

Something in his wife's face setUncle Cyrus' eye a-twinkle. But IAunt Martha's warm heart has plentyof room for an ailing animal, — if thatwere all,— and she hospitably proffer-ed welcome and tray.

Her motor-coat flung across themaid's arm, the lady stood revealed,dressed In pale tai: broadcloth trim-med with exquisite moss-green velvet,and with wonderfully wrought buttonsof green and gold. Perfectly match-ing her dress 'was •rotsle's coat, otpale tan; his green silk trimmingsstruck exactly the same note as hervelvet; his leash was of moss-greenleather, and he wdre a costly collarof gold and green. Tucked into amicroscopic pocket on his coat was.atiny linen handkerchief with a hemstitched border of green.^

Lala was the, name ot a little blackhoney bear with a white V-shapedmark on his chest, and he belongedto the engineer of the-steamer onwhich Mr. A. Hugh Fisher, the authorof '"Through. India and Burmah," wasa passenger. They kept chickens onboard In a coop, and one night L>alapulled a chicken out of it. Thewheelman declared that Lala deliber-ately piit a piece of bread In thechicken's trough outside the bars, andwaited till the bird put Its head out.

Tlie wheelman was not the sort olperson to make up such a story, butthe engineer could hardly believehim, and asked to be called the nexttime that the wheelman saw the bearlaying plans tor a chicken dinner.Whether the engineer was in bed ornot, I^ala used to sleep not far fromhim on a ma.t by the engine roomdoor. One night the wheelman calledthe engineer up, and he actually sawthe bear drop a piece of bread in thetrough. He stood ready to cuff Lalaif he touched a fowl, but the. bear wastoo quick for him, and the very mo-ment a hen put her head through thebars, the Bear whipped her cleanthrough.,. The engineer never gave Lala meat,but some one fed him once or twiceon "bully beef," and that seemed tomake him restive. He never reallybit anybody, but the engineer felt Itwas safest to get rid of the beast. Hogo-off one day at the village near thedefile, took the bear a mile and a halfaway into Ihe jungle, and "lost" him.

Soon after, the villagers petitionedthe engineer to take the bear onboard again. It seemed that Lalahunted ,the village and stole chickenspersistently. So there, was nothingfor it but to take him on board thesteamer again. Then the engineergave him to the Rangoon Zoo.

It was months afterward that hewent to see Lala. He took with hima retriever, which had been the bear's

"We ain't sellin' milk," said AuntMartha, red-faced and stiffly digni-fied. "The little dog"—with a slightemphasis—"is quite welcome!"

WHEN LORD WOLSELEY WASCAUGHT. |

The late field marshal, Lord Wolse-ley, was a well-read soldier as well a?an able one; but on his first visit toBoston, some fifty years ago, he wasneatly caught when he tried to con-ceal his Ignorance of American his-tory. Relng naturally honest, In spiteof tlmt harmless bit of pretense, hocould appreciate his own discomfiture,nnd he used ofton to tell tho story asfollows:

AH wo Htenmed Into Boston harbor,n New England gentleman explainedto mo the points of Interest In thosurrounding scenery. Up to tlmt tlmoI had nover rend any good work upontho War of the Revolution. In thoaoduyn few Englishmen know muchabout Ihn Amerlenn War of Indopand-once boyomi tho fact that wo had gotIhn wornt of jt.

A COMMISSION DECLINED.

The dismay among European con?noisseiirs and the exultation amongthe connoisseurs of our own countryat the newsvthat the late Mr. J. P.Morgan's marvelous collection of arttreasures Is to be brought to Americaemphasizes anew the progress weha've' made since the day when therich American buying pictures was thefavorite butt of caricaturist and comicwriter, both at home and abroad. Mostof the fun was fair fun, for whenthe newly rich of Porktowh and BloodyOultch, the ranch, the mine, and thestock-yard, first began to .think theirgreat houses must be furnished with,pictures along with plush, and statuasalong with -steam heat, their Ignor-ance was often colossal.

A marine artist of distinction usedto relate how one such rich man onceeame to him to order a picture. Hefirst glanced round the. bigr barestudio with uneasy disdain, apparentlyin ,doubt If an artist wh/> amountedto anything would be found In such,a- place.

"Queer quarters you got here," hebegan. "Howsomever, that ain't my,business!" My business is buyln' apicture. Now I know Jusf what Iwant,—I always do know just what Iwant,—and, folks tell me you're theman to paint it for me. I want agood, big picture, big enough to filla wall, with a big gilt frame all round,It, and the, sea Inside, with a rockyPoint runnin' out, and mtrand Jimmystandln' on. It, life-size, fishin', andJimmy just haulln' In a big fish. Jimmy,pore kid, he's never reely had no luckfishin' anywheres he's tried, from pud-dles to the Big Pqnd; but that ain'tno reason he shouldn't In a picture.It's for his birthday, and he'll hatickled to death, when he sees himselfwith a big one SQuirmln' on his hook,good and nateral. Tlien' I want—"

• "Hold -on!" The artist succeededIn getting in a word at last. "Sorry,but i can't do it. It's not In my line."' "Why not?" demanded the million-aire. "You paint sea things, don'tye?" . " , . ' , -,,•«!

"Yes, but—" '"And ye paint folks, don't ye?""Yes, but I—""Well, then! All I want is sea, and

folks, and a fish, and I'll pay your ownprice. How's a hundred dollars ayard?"

"I don't sell my work by the yard."the artist explained, dryly, "and If Idl, it would cost you nearer a thou-sand."

"Pretty steep, but I'll take ye up,"was the prompt reply. "A thousanda yard. That's settled."

It was not, however, for the com-mission was persistently declined, tothe Indignant amnzebont of this muni-ficent patron of, the arts.

"In a general engagement," said theFrench captain, "I allow that theBritish, usually win; but In a duel ofship to ship of equal tonnage andnumber of guns we should beat you.'

"Pooh!" cried the Welshman."Look here, nov, yours Is a seventy-gun ship and mine but thirty, yet Ishould not fear to fight you."

The Frenchman at last goaded Grif-fith Into a challenge, which he accept-ed, for a duel In the open sea outsidethe neutral zone. It was fought, withthe result that Griffith carried backthe French severity-gun ship In tri-umph to Leghorn!

Abraham Lincoln felt deeply the'responsibility'that'rested on him asPresident of the United States, buhe shrank from assuming any of thhonors, or even the titles, of his pos:tlon.

After years of intimate acquaintance, a public man testified shortl;after Mr. Lincoln's death that hcould not recall a single instance inwhich he spoke of 'himself as PresIdent; or used that title for. himselfexcept when he acted In an offlciacapacity.

He always spoke of his positionand office vaguely^ as "thfe place,"here," or in. other modest phraseOnce, speaking of the room at thCapitol used by'tie President of thUnited States, at the close of a sesslon of Congress, he said, "Tharoom, you know, that they call"—dropping his voice and hesitating—"the President's room."

To an intimate friend who addressed him always by his own proper titlehe said, "Now call me Lincoln, antI'll promise not to tell of the breachof etiquette—If you won't—and I shallhave a resting-spell from 'Mr. Presi-dent.' "

All persons agree that the mostmarked characteristic of Mr. Lincoln'smanners was his simplicity and art-lessness, but his native dignity neverforsop.k'hlnvand with-all his ungtllari-ties and disregard of conventlonalites,distinguished foreigners were inyari-ably Impressed by his line fiber.

A horse, pulling a. heavy cart filledwith cement, fell and the collar culinto the horse's neck. It was neces-sary to unload the cart and removeall of the harness from the poor ani-mal, before- it could regain Its feet_

The driver was a man much betterfitted to sweep streets than to be inthe collar right down over that soreplace and naturally the horse made afuss and wouldn't stand for It.quiet looking man stepped forwardand took the collar out of the driver'shands, without even so much as an"allow me." He carefully put the col-lar over the horse's head right backof the ears. Then he put on the restof the harness and when all was com-plete, gently lowered the collar In po-sition And. the horse never moved annch. The man knew how. He not

Concerning Woman Suffrage.The last'New Jersey Legislature passed resolutions preliminary to

submitting to voters of tb^ state a constitutional amendment grantingthe franchise to women. These were sent to the Governor, though theydid not require his signature. In some way, the document was mixedup with others which had been disapproved, and with them sent to theSecretary of State to be filed among "dead" bills. The mistake wasonly discovered this week.

Before being submitted to the voters,-a constitutional amendmentmust be passed at two successive sessions of the Legislature ; and beforeit can be passed the second time it must be advertised throughout ,thestate for-three mouths. As less than two months remain in-which t&do this advertisiugj the Attorney General's office declares that thematter is dead. However, the papers say that Governor Fielder and

I the Secretary of State have decided 4to go on with the advertising,—hoping to have their omission remedied in some way.

To the man behind the pen, it looks like a" foolish move, a uselessexpenditure of a large sum of the State money, for the Courts will setit all aside, and two years of delay will be the result. Better introducea new resolution at the coming session, proceed properly, and with butone year's delay place the amendment before'the"voters.

We doubt whether one could find prettier scenery in South Jerseythan is to be seen within easy reach of Hammonton. The other day,by courtesy 6f Professor and Mrs. Holdridge, we motored out CentralAvenue, indeed n pretty street, past the foot of one of the finest lakesin Jersey, and down Pleasant Mills Road, to Green Bank. The scenerywas simply grand. Vegetation of all kinds, on the farms and along theriver, was at its best:—green and luxuriant. The river, one sheet ofsilvery ripples, with its graceful curves, was'really fascinating. On thereturn we made several stops, the better to take in the charming view,to see the historic old mansion, and to look at (but not to partake of)the heavily laden vineyards. The roads were good, but too narrow, inplaces, for safe passing of vehicles.

Adolph G. M6rgenweck for County Clerk.• Prospective success in the com-ing de^tion in this county has'iiotturned the heads of the Republicanparty, and the excellent characterof those who-are slated- on the Re-publican ticket for the,various offi-ces of responsibility and trust, re-flect much-credit. It seems thepeople realize that mere politicalcreed is not so important'as ischaracter .and ability to properlyand qpnsistently guard^ and pro-mote the interests and welfare ofthe community at large.

With this thought in view, theparty, has been, careful to endorseonly such men as are" known inthe business world, and who willgive us a business administration. ••Among these candidates, worthyof more than passing notice, is Mr;Adolph G. Morgemveck, who isrunning for County Clerk on the'strongest platform upon which a

man could be expected to go to public office,—the platform of characterand ability. !

He has won the highest confidence and esteem of his .constituentsbecause he has yet to make a 'promise that he did not keep, and. becausehe has always been earnest in doing that which has been for the comfortand welfare of his fellow citizens, aiding his party promptly and withoutsolicitation whenever an opportunity presented itself.

Mr. Morgenweck is one of Atlantic City's real estate promoters, andowes his success to jhqse rare elements which he has cultivated sinceboyhood,—honesty, frugality, and high regard for the welfare of others;and his indefatigable energy and high moral purpose. No^opejiiau, orset of men could ever control or influence him to do that which"was not,in his opinion, right and just ; and the most conservative cpula not findfault with his policies and be within the tenets of justice.

The office of County Clerk requires a trained and experiencedbusiness man, one having the faculty of administration; and Mr.Morgenweck is/certainly well fitted to acquit himself of the prescribedduties of the position. y

It is gratifying to note that'the selection*of a candidate has notbeen confined-.to Atlantic City, Mr. Morgenweck - being a resident ofEgg Harbor City. It seems that character, honesty, and ability toserve the people have superceded the old method of political preference. •Public interests are to be' cared for, instead of using offices of trust to•eward political workers. Voters of the county should appreciate these:acts and vote for good men so nominated. ;

PULPIT TOPICS,THE TEN LEPERS.

Luke 17:11-19- 'Despised and rejected of men, the

Saviour is now on His last Journeyof Jerusalem. He is going to thebitter death upon the cross. His wayled through Peraea. Jesus enteredinto a certain village. There met Himten men that were lepers.

I. The Lepers' Real Condition.Our text refers to one of Christ's

stupendous miracles, and is fraught•with Varied and important instruc-tion. The ten lepers did not followJesus, but they met Him. The tenlepers, what a pi t i fu l spectacle! Thegroup of ten sufferers were ful lleprous sores. Their clothes wererent. Their heads were bare. Theirupper lips were covered. They wereexcluded from society. .They werenot allowed to enter the courts ofthe Lord's house. They were incurableby the power of men. Those whowere -thus afflicted were the terrorof all who might ever behold themafar off. The situation of thesewretched outcasts was desperate. Thoy

-•were in a condition of hopelessnessand sorrow.

Their condition reminds us of ourmisery without Christ. Uspresy is oremarkable type of sin. Leprosy deforms the body. Sin mutilates thesoul. It separates from the pure andclean. It is incurable. But men donot feel their spiritual disease. Theyare not conscious that they are guiltyand lost. But when a man finds outhis soul's ailment, he soon learns topray. He calls upon the Lord andcries for1 help. This is what the tentepers did.II. The Lepers' Application to Christ.

They came In company. Thoughthey were shut out from the societyof others, they were at liberty tomingle together. And their commondistress made them forget all racehatred. Here again we see the truththat affliction brings " together thosewho in prosperity keep apfrt.

The ten lepers stood afar off. Theyknew that no human power could savethem. They realized their sad situation and need of divine aid. And•without waiting to be spoken to theymade their application to Christ.. Theirprayer was most earnest. . They said :"Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.'1

Their .prayer was short, but expres-sive and fervent. There was unani-mity In their prayer. They agreed intheir suit and cried as with one voice.They pleaded for mercy.

They evinced reverence and faith:"Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."They acknowledged Christ's characterboth aa Son and -Lord. It is thusnot without one ray of believing hopethat they prayed. No,- Jesus alwaysbrought with Him an atmosphere ofcourage and hope. The lepers . areno longer doomed.

Doubtless they had heard of themlrcales of Christ; and therefore somemeasure of faith had come by theirhearing, and this they embodied Intheir cry: "Jesus, Master, have mercyon us." They believe not only InChrist's power, hut in His heart fu l lof mercy. They did not yet knowthe Saviour's dignity as the Messiah,but hellevod .him to he a prophet, aworker of mighty miracles of healing.And they had a good foundation fortheir faith. They cried for help withall their hearts. They did not waitIt was tlielr last opportunity. Tholrsituation IB desperate. They cried forniercy.

from enforced seclusion,.. and againadmitted into society.

-The command, of,Jesus was a strongtest of their faith, but they 'had con-fidence In.Christ, How much It meantto them, when He looked upon themwith the eye of pity. They had faithIn Jesus. And they acted their faith.They started on their way. And asthey went they -were cleansed. Tothe Lord they owe<i their restoration.It was obedient faith that broughtthe blessing to all alike. It shows usthe wisdom of simple, childlike, obe-dience to every word which comesfrom the mouth of Christ. Muchfailure in faith comes from failurein obedience. We cannot believe thepromise: "Wlialsoever'ye shall,ask<inmy name, that will I do," If we havenot kept the precept "Whatsoeverhe saith unto you, do it." The bestreason for believing and obeying isthat we are in harmony with God'sexpress command. The person whoacts on God's Word Is safe. The Gos-pel Is the doctrine that man is saved,not by his good works and piety, butthrough faith alone, by the powerand mercy of God. God gives us faith!"Faith," says Luther, "is so mightyto secure everything with God thatbefore God everything may be re-garded as having been granted beforeIt is asked."

IV. Gratitude to Christ.The lepers had not gone far until

they saw they were healed, and theyshould have returned, if but for amoment, to thank their benefactor fordeliverance from a disease that wasworse than death. But the nine Jewsdid not return. They were too muchtaken up with themselves in their coldand formal obedience and in theirdesire to obtain an official certificatefrom the priests to think of this. Butthe one Samaritan, untrained in truereligion, and probably separated fromthe others as soon as they found them-selves cured, when he saw that hewas healed, turned back and with aloud voice glorified God, because ofthe wonderful cure that had beenwrought in him. Before he washealed he remained at a distance, butnow. he draws, near and in a humbleposture he shows all who are -presentwhat the Lord had done, for him. Heoffers the outflow of a grateful heartto Him Who should be the Priest otall nations. He had been loud inprayer, and now he is loud In praise.He has grasped at once the spirit ofthe Gospel as well as the fulfillmentof the law. He turned back not Indisobedience to Jesus, for he wouldobey, but In obedience to the higherduty of gratitude and k>ve. Thankful-ness hao filled his heart with peaceand joy. And some one has sal J:'The'bett thanksgiving- to the Lord

is to reti rn to the Lord."Praise should always follow

answered prayer. Saved souls'have„ special license granted them topraise the Lord. The least any oneshould do is to express thankfulnessfor God's rich blessings. We havemuch to praise God for: Every miseryaverted Is mercy bestowed; every alnforgiven -is a favor granted; everyduty performed is also a grace re-ceived. The people of God have anInexhaustible treasury of good thingsprovided for them by the good God,and for all this they Hhould praiseHim. Should we not praise the Ix>rrt!He IIUH loved us with un everlastinglove. Before tho foundutloim of theworld were laid, Il« provided for usa Saviour.

It would be somewhat dlfflcult, wethink, to ,find any text in the Biblethat would; exactly fit this topic.. Wedo not,, remember of any vacationbeing specifically mentioned in theBible, except that of Jesus, when lie

j Invited his disciples to come aside Intoa desert place and "rest awhile." And

) as far as the record goes. His vaca-tion experience consisted in preach-ing, miracle-working, and praylngiSee Mark 6:31-56.

No matter where Jesus went, "Hecould not be hid," and .whenever It be>came known anywhere that He wasnear, the people flocked to Him from

| all quarters. Some came for healing,i some for instruction, and some out of

curiosity. Jesus told the crowds thatpursued Him on this vacation that itwas the loaves and fishes they wanted,and not instruction. See John 6:25-27,Yet, even so. He did not tell themthat He wanted rest, and would nottalk to them. He accepted their per-sistence as a call to service even invacation time.

The particular text which we haveadopted in this case tells of the profit.Uble results of the vacation of a run-away slave. Paul sent the slave backto his master, but with a letter whichwould not only secure his forgiveness,but also, probably, his emancipation.The vacation of Oneslmus proved tobe a very profitable one to him, andalso to Paul and to Philemon, becausethrough his vacation Oneslmus hadcome "In contact" with 'Paul, and hadheard and received the Gospel.

ISRAEL AT MOUNT SINAI. 'EX. ,,19: Heb. 12: 18-24.

GOLDEN TEXT.— Let us havegrace, whereby we may offer servicewell pleasing to God with reverenceand awe. Heb. 12: 28.

"Jehovah called unto him out otthe Mount." It was not. a mere Im-pression on the mind of Moses, butan audible voice. There are a num-ber of cases mentioned In which GodCommunicated with men In this way-Tw'lce during the life ol Jesus His-ministry was endorsed by a voicecoming down from the sky; and itwas not ;He alone that heard thevoice. (See John 12: 28-30.) AndJesus Himself spoke to Paul, nearDamascus, out of \the sky, "in theHebrew language." (Acts 26: 14.)We read also in the old Testamentof voices' bfmigels coming out of thesky to communicate God's' will tomen. See, for example, Gen. 22:. 11.

"Ye shall be My own possessionfrom, among all peoples — for all theearth is Mine; and ye shall be untoMe a kingdom of priests." God's pur-pose in selecting one family and onenation as special objects of His favorand of His care was to fit them to beHis witnesses to the world and to usethem as a means of revealing Him-self to the world: they were .to be "akingdom of priests." The Israelites.never accepted this high commission;they appropriated God's favor to themin a selfish spirit and prided them-selves upon their special relationshipto Him. And the Inevitable conse-quence was that they lost the highsplace of which they had Judged them-selves unworthy and became an. out-cast nation — even down to the presentday. • . ; . . "

But God's purpose was not defeatedeven by their failure to live up to>their privileges. In various ways,«ven in spite of themselves In somemeasure, the descendants of Abra-ham have been from the beginningtill now living witnesses to the? truthof God's revelation and to the fixityof His purposes. All the definiteknowledge that we possess to-day ofGod's' character, of His purposes, andot His ways of giving effect to Hi*purposes has come to us through thechildren of Israel. •

"Take heed to yourselves that, yego not up Into the Mount, or touch,the border of It."

God created man for a purpose.He purposed to develop In man a.capacity for full fellowship with Him-self. But that capacity could onlybe acquired as a result of full recog-nition of the infinite wisdom and holi-ness and goodness of God. It wasnecessary therefore that man shouldllm learn reverence nnd obedience,God longed to win man's lore, butman could not possibly love a being:BO far above him unt i l , he. had firstlearned to look up to. God with deep-reverence and with trustful con-fidence. "The fear of the Lord Is tliebeginning of wisdom," mild the wiseman, (Prov. 9: 10.) The word"fear" here, and In many other place*In the Bible, means deep reverence;It does not mean terror. "Perfectlove casts out fear" — The fear that '•hath torment." (1 John 4: 18.) Hutperfect love IH built upon reverence.

So we- find no command to love Godat the beginning of His revolution ofI l lmnfi l f to man, only a command toobey, on pain of doath. Nowan given to Adam for thu commandnot to eat the fruit of one trco; tin"Important mutter watt that ho Hhould:>bey the command becnune God hadHlvcn It, and thiiH leurn rt-voronco forU<^d, hy practicing It.

nized there was some-thing wrong, but shetactfully refrained fromasking what It was.

- Her father had neverspoken during ' break-

fast. H had scarcely finished ere h'eabruptly began:

"1 have- bad news, Ethel."•"What is it?'"'"We are ruined, hopelessly ruined." iThere was no attempt to soften

the blow. Ethel went white_under it.Kalph Grenart was a loving father,,hut he was desperate. It was no de-sire to be dramatic. It wiJs an Intense

'desire to be quickly done with a haterful business that induced him to putthe truth so brutally.

"I havo^been miserable for months,"he continued, "always hoping .' thebest, always encountering the worst.The Grenarts, of Torbridge Hall, havenever been rich. But, fortunately, inEngland character still counts higherthan money. So the Grenarts havelong held an honored place in thecounty. . But there has been a steadyreverse in our family fortuntes.'To bet-ter them I did a desperate thing, Inow see a foolish thing. Hugh Mar-tyn and Tare old college friends. 1have no doubt either of his ability orIntegrity. He Is a clever mining en-gineer, and he came over from SouthAfrica seeking financial backing forthe Bohndeer Mines. They had beenworked before and had proved a _faIl-_tire. But Martyn had great faith thatthere ^vas a fortune In them If prop-•erly worked. He urged me to Joinhim, and I did. I pooled every pennyI had and put It Into Bohndeer Mines.They failed. The shares. are mere•paper to-day. Martyn still declaresthat with a little more capital hisprophecies would be fulfilled. It isthe usual cry of the defeated enthusi-ast, and the plain English of the po-sition is that" you and-1..are beggars."

"Well, father, I regret the news,but entirely for your sake. Iyoung, able to work, and not toofalsely proud to do so. But you!"

"Heaven bless you, child; I was

"I hope It Is all true because I loveyou, I passionately love you, , Youare the best and most beautiful -wo-man 1 have ever known. Often Ihave wished you were hut a "mill laasthat I might dare to woo you. I amonly a common miner, but a commonminer I shall not remain. I havebrains, and I shall use the to vrinfame and fortune. If I win them,will you accept them? They will bevalueless to me without you. Mean-time, if it is true that you must en-dure poverty, will you share mine?"

While he had been speaking Ethelhad been struggling to analyze heremotions. To her amazement }by predominated. Jim Beckton had/ dellvered up the secret of his "-heart and.had made her own heart happy.

"I am glad you have spoken, JimBut you h.ive spoken too late. Yes-terday I would have answered youyes. To-day I must answer you no.I find myself face to face with theold problem of love or duty, my ownhappiness or my father's. I wouldproudly have shared your poverty,but I cannot, see* my father poor. Tosave him I shall deliberately marrythe first wealthy man who asks me.But the miner lad of Drasburg Is theonly man I shall ever care for. Iwould fain follow the path of love. Iam choosing the patlToT sacrifice."

They parted. Slowly EJthel resumedher way through Torbridge Wood. ^dark cloud shrouded her life's path.But Jim /Beckton '. had touched thatcloud with a silver"-lining.

"Well, well! Miss Grenart passingd frifinHo'"

"The money loss Is disappointing,father; the blight on my marrlago |prospects Is none. But I should like |to lie alone for. a little. I shall BOfor a walk and try to see our newposition In all Ha aspects."

Ethel was strolling through Tor-bridge Wood, striving to reallzo thatcriiBliltlK poverty was upon her, Thoannouncement had surprised her, yotIt had not startled her no much asher fathdr'K b lunt reference, to hermarrlagp.

She hurl never thought of tho sub-ject luM-m-If. No ono had over pro-poned to hor. Marriage had seemoda remote thlni;. Now It was tho mo8turgent Btep In life.

Ethel smiled at Sir John's self-re-vealing speech. His old friendshipwith Mtuid Lansdale must have beena particularly sweet friendship toarouse enthusiasm like this. But assoon as she met Airs. Handert Ethelunderstood Sir John's enthusiasm nndshared It.
