To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
In your issue of October 5 'EBible Stu
dent" has long and labored..article evidently
written for those who believe in a second
probation. He quotes verse from Genesis.
9th chapter, Sd verse, "My spirit shall not
strive with man forever" as against it. He
also endeavors to show a connection between
this passage and the one in first Peter 3, 1S,
Christ preaching to the spirits i'll prison
Gesenius in his lexicon, and also the best
Hebrew scholars, do not regard this passage
in Genesis the operation of the Holy Spirit
at all. Gesenius renders it as follows ''My
spirit shall not be made low (humiliated) in
man forever" I regard the passage as q
promise that all men will finally be reconcil-
ed to God. This passage is to be classed
with those that read follows: "He will
ot:always chide, neither will he keep his
anger forever" 'Fand neither will I contend
forever, nor will be forever wroth." Bible
Student intimates that the word 'prison''
| and Hades are not synonymous terms. If he
will search the scriptures he will find that
Sheol or Hades have many synonyms, such
as pit, in prison, into silence, lowest parts of
the earth, heart of the earth, abyss, etc. The
Bible in matter of fact narration never
calls meni in the flesh spirits. The apostle
Peter in substance says Christ by his spirit
preached unto spirits. and, as if to dispel all
doubt, he says again in chapter 4, E: "For
this cause was the gospel preached even unto
the dead, that they might be judged accord
ing to men in the flesh, but live according to
God in the spirit" ''Bible Student" seems
to have forgotten this last passage. I have
read scores Of articles in explanation of these
verses in Peters first epistle and they are al
ways invariably long and full of nice gram
matical distinctions, and in this respect they
are somewhat like the Universalist e1plana-
of tba rjc and T,QZ4ruS-aftar
have read them they fail to convince you
that the rich man did not suffer in hell nor
that Christ did not preach to spirits in the
same place. B.

"Did you ever hear of the Irish carpenter

Not long ago the cities of Rostow and Ta-
ganrog We're annexed to a military district in
which Jews were forbidden to dwell As
usual, senatorial commission was appoint
ed to consider the contingency, and this body
has rendered it's decision to the effect that
the Jews should not or could not be permit
ted to remain in the newly created district,
with the exception Of merchants of the first
guild and those who have secured real estate.
| This will enable some four thousand wealthy
Jews to remain in possession of their homes,
while about sixteen thousand poor, helpless
Jews will have to go forth upon the olden,
| well-worn road of exile.
There may, however, yet remain hope
/ that that direful act may be averted if the
voice of civilized humanity may be heard in
| reprobation of the dastardly act. In the
| long and terrible annals of political persecu-

other instance of 80 cold -blooded and wilful-

! any pretence of an accusation against these
| sixteen thousand outcasts; not any intima-

| not any semblance of an uprising among the

| charges or complaints against them; simply
| and solely for the Typographical reason that

| and those sixteen thousand are to be driven

We appeal therefore to the journalists OF

that for the purpose in question it was suff

The French scientific journal La Nature

this material is simply wood cut into such
fine shavings that it answers many of the
purposes to which wool is commonly applied.
Although it was at first intended merely as a
packing material, it was soon found that it
had a much more extended field of useful

as bedding for cattle, for the filtration of
liquids, etc. 1t is elastic like horse hair and

Bonaparte's Favorite Flower


A pamphlet of the year 1915, which the
Temps has recently discovered, gives an ac-
count of how the violet became the emblem
of Imperialism in France. Three days be-
fore the embarkation for Elba Bonaparte,
accompanied by the Duke of Bassano and
General Bertrand, took a walk in the gar
dens of Fonta1nebleau. He was still waver-
ing whether he should quietly resign him
self to his banishment. The Duke of Bas-
sano tried to point out to him that the time
for withdrawal was past. Greatly excited,
Napoleon walked on without speaking, try
ing to divert his thoughts from the subject.
Suddenly he saw close to him pretty child
of three or four years old picking violets and
tying them into bunch ''My little friend"
said the prince, twill you give me- your
howers?" eyes, gladly" said the boy, and
handed them gracefully to him. Bonaparte
utes to his courtiers: "The accident of this
occurrence is secret hint to me to follow
the example of these modest flowers. Yes,
gentlemen, henceforth the violet shall be the
emblem of my wishes" "Sire," replied
Bertrand, "I hope for Your Majes:y's glory
that this resolution will not last longer than
the flower from which it takes its origin"
The next day Napoleon was seen walking
about the gardens with bunch of violets,
which he carried alternately in his mouth
and hand. Stopping at a flower bed, he
stopped down to pick some flowers. The
violets were rather scarce on the spot and
the grenadier Choudieu, who was OH guard,
said to him, ''Sire, in years time it will be
easier to pick them; they will then be more
plentiful" Bonaparte, greatly astonished,
looked at him. ''You think then that next
year shall be back:' Perhaps sooner; at
least we hope So" "soldier, do you not
know that after tomorrow start for Elba?"
"Your Majesty will wait till the clouds roll
by" ''Do your comrades think like you?'
"Almost all" "They may think it, but
they may not say it, After You are relieved
go to Bertrand and let him give you twenty
napoleon dor, but keep silence.'' Choudieu
returned to the barracks and drew the atten-
ton of his comrades to the fact that for the
last two days the Emperor had been walking
about with bunch of violets. "We will
call him among ourselves Pere la Violette." :"
From that day forth Napoleon was only
called by that name in the barracks. By de-
grees the secret reached the public, and in
the spring the adherents of the ex-monarch
carried the flower a memorial either in
their mouth or in their buttonhole.

A Great Victory !
j
A Terrible Case of ScrofuIa
Cured by )
Hoods SarsapariIIa

"In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and aroundmy neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass Of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, 1 was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less.' I do not know what it may
have done for others, but do know that in
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. AS an evidence of
my gratitude send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it, CHARLES A. ROB-
ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.
This statement is confirmed by W. J. Hunt

Possessed of Devils i'm mormondom


from the Boston Commercial Bulletin.l
1t is also an article of faith among the
people that certain persons in the communi-
ty are possessed of devils. I am not dis
posed to contradict this. Some of the Nor
mon hierarchy act as though they might be
possessed by legion of devils, but the pc
culiar form of exorcism in use here has new
er been tried on them. A friend of ours
who came up from one of the southern set
Elements last year told US of a case of pos
session that had disastrous sequel
poor old man, who had puzzled his weak
brains over the doctrine Of polygamy until
the little sense he had was quite gone, began
to act very strangely and to create some dis
turbanee in the neighborhood. The breth-
rem held meeting, discussed the old mans
afhict1en in all its aspects and came to the
conclusion that he was possessed of a devil.
Something must be done to drive out the
evil spirit, and one more learned in such
matters than the others suggested that the
patient be whipped with green willow rods.
This prescription was tried for a number of
days without any effect, and then some one
else remembered that he had heard of cases
which were cured by cold and fasting. The
old man was accordingly put in log cabin
without any fire, and as it was in the month
of January his doctors thought they had Sc
cured the right degree of cold His diet for
the first week consisted of corn meal and
water, and as he grew much quieter it ap-
peared as though-they had hit on the right
treatment; but just as they were congratula-
ting themselves on their success they discov-
cred that their patient was dying.
His first wife, who lived in Salt Lake, was
sent for in haste, but before she arrived he
had breathed his last. She was a woman of
some spirit and she denounced the treatment
her husband had received in the strongest
terms She said he was starved to DEATH
that his hands and feet must have been fro
zen before he died. The brethren, who in
sisted that they had acted for the best, felt
much hurt by her remarks, but it is not
probable that their views were changed at
all as to the best method of treatment in
cases of possession.
