Is this demand, ''sell all, universal: No,
there would be no one to tuy. The univer-
sal demand is to be ready to give up what
one loves best. God could give up his dearly
beloved son. So could Abram. Peter could
give up boats and the storms his rugged
nature loved, and every one must be able to
give up whatever God asks. Just here,
thousands stumble. They are ready to give
up al but one thing, pride Of In
ssa15 uh n 70 Vocation be- IN minister 1s
or missionary. And the test comes just on
that one crucial point, that citadel of obs in
acy. But Christ, who had given up the
wealth and fealty of the universe in his sub
lime service, saw its result on himself, and
and says to men Follow me, follow, not
only on earth, but to and in ths highest
heaven. Suffer with me, and we will be
glorified together. And the suffering is not

What could be more sweet and beautiful
flu filment of the prophecy Us 1929 than
the lite and recent decease Of the great Ger
man emperor2
Those who witnessed one year since the
celebration of the ninetieth birthday Of EN-
peror William, trembled for the health Of
the aged monarch at whose feet such
marvellous tribute OF 1--we, honor and VEN
or ,tion was laid, but none imagined that
unharme by pra SO, in one short year he
would go down to the grave bowed down
by the weight of months Of sorrow.
Before FRINGE Wilhelm, the most dearly
beloved by the Emperor of his grand
children, could reach Berlin, the ninety -one-
years old Emperor lay on his dying bed. He
appeared for the last time on Satur ay at
the window to greet the passing troops, and
the crowd which daily watches the spectacle.
On Sunday he remained in bed, and seemed
to realize from the first that his lness was
probably thu last one requesting that the
sacram mt Of the Lords Supper mig ht be adj
ministered to him. His whole heart went
out toward the sick son whom he had not
seen for nine long months, saying; III
II have but one wish more, that might en-
brace my son"
All Thursday night anxious watchers
stood by the bedside Of the dying man. At
four, those relatives who had sought little
rest were again summoned. Prince BIS
marck, who, after q sleeping dose, had Just
fallen into light slumber, was again
aroused and quickly reached the palace. Won
Mo ike was there. The friends knelt BY the
bedside and kissed the hand of the dying
man; but all was not over till half-past eight
when the Kaiserin was carried faintiug from
the room. AT ten appeared extrs sheets an
nouncing the death Of Kaiser William T.

The occasion was visit to the Dom Chapel,
in Berlin, to see new painting with which
the venerable building has been recently
adorned. The subject Of the p hitting was
the kings of the earth laying their crowns
and sceptres at the feet Of Christ. In repy
team address from Dr. Koegel, the court
preacher, the emperor said "As for whpt

They, however, come calling for
mercy. Their eyes are open upon all the
consequences of past folly. But they find
it too latel They are recognized by the
great s,archer OF hearts as not belonging to

Then noticed how many more red
faced men were in this convention than
i'm the former one, and the chairman
grew still redder rs he said: Gentle
men, were you not satisfied with the
division of spoils rs made four years
agoy" YES" the leader answered.
"Then what are you complaining
about?" "Just this: The temperance
republicans say that we have betrayed
the best temperance party ever known
and they Will have nothing 10 do with
us; while the few who loved the repub-
lican party better even than they did
the rum power, have now gone to you
willingly. As you have all along seemed
so friendly, we thought you would find
some way 10 help us out of our dilem-
ma" AT this, the convention Joined i'm
a derisive laugh. When order was re-
stored, the chairman said, Gentlemen,
we can do nothing for you" In reply,
the delegation said i'm concert, "Then
the charge that we are traitors is true"
As they were about leaving, blear
eyed man in the rear of the hall sug-
gested that "JuddS pail back the money"
Then one OF the men next the leader
came forward with red bandana hand
kerchief and from it poured upon the
floor the thirty thousand i'm silver and
greenbacks; then they marched out i'm
single file TO the sound of muiiled
drum.
Then arose n spirited discussion over
a proposition TO put the money into the
corruption fund TO buy votes. One
man said, "When that silver iingled as
it struck the floor, heard the sobs of
widow over dead and debauched hus-
band" another said, ~ could hear the
cries of childyen for bread while Il
third said, "In those greenbacks could
see the fluttering of their rags" several
called it the price of blood Finally
the treasurer of the national committee
arose in some excitement and said;
Gentlemen of the convention, | have
never been II superstitious man, but
after this discussion, wish to protest
emphatically against the use of that
money in the fund and, as it is evident
that the third party has gone out to
commit suicide, propose that we take
this money and buy potters field for
its burial" This was agreed upon, and
the interrupted jubilee proceedings
were resumed; but | awoke, rejoiced to
find it all dream, but sadly thinking
that it might come true but for the fact
that the republican party is hard to
kill ~

The sale department was not a sue
cess; but five horses were sold at good
figures, out of an entry of thirty-four.
Four buyers were in attendance, two
of whom would not buy unless they
could get carload each. Most of the

Gentlemen, in view of the active part
taken by the third party in this cam
paign, and of the fact that its aid has
enabled the democratic party To do
what il failed 10 accomplish with shot
and shell in four years strife, | ask
that "A fair portion of the spoil gathered
from republican defeat be awarded it,"
The man with red nose rose in
stantly To say: What our respected
chairman has remarked is true, and |
propose that we be very liberal with
our friends of the third party; and |
move, Mr.. Chairman, that rs the late
republican party was composed OF
three-fourths temperance men and one
fourth liquor men, that we give to the
third party the temperance voters,
while we ourselves take the liquor
voters. This received IA prompt second,
and seemed to please the whole audi
ence. just before il came before the
convention, the red faced man rose and
proposed an amendment To the effect
that each party deliver its own goods,
which was accepted, and the motion
passed unanimously, after which the
meeting closed in great harmony just
rs | awoke.
Not one whit relieved, | lay ponder
ing the question, IF we destroy the
republican party and give the demo
Gratis control for a season, will the de-
feated republicans turn To the party
that has worked their ruin?' After all,
had we not better nurse certain repub-
lican weaknesses than be compelled to
cure democratic fits?
Again sleep visited me, and behold,
my dream was resumed at point four
years later than the previous one. An
other heated national campaign was
ended, and the democratic party was
again victorious after terrible Strug
gle. I'm my dream, had no clear idea
rs To its opponent Since, four years
ago, the republican party was declared
dead of wounds received at the hands
of its friends, it must have been the
ghost of the great departed, and IA most
lively one, To Judge from the jaded APP
pearance of the democratic leaders,
who had met in jubilee convention
this time.
Just as the exercises were about to
begin, delegation of third party men
entered very Unexpectedly. They were
given seats together and the chairman
said, Gentlemen, what is your pleas
urey" The leader responded: Mr..
Chairman and gentlemen, we are dele
gates, one from each state, sent here to
protest against certain results growing
out of the downfall of our ancient en-
envy, the republican party. When we
left the spoliation convention four years
ago, we felt sure that with three-fourths
of the republican vote added to our
own, we should be able to wipe out the
liquor interests instead, our vote shows
an actual diminution, and measures are
ON foot in Iowa, Kansas and other dry
states to repeal their prohibitory laws
