The general assembly of the Knights
of Labor in session at st. Louis, re-
elected T.. V. Powderly general master
workman. When he was placed in
nomination he at once arose TO his feet
and told the convention that he did not
wish reelection, and begged them 10
choose another general master work
man. The almost universal sentiment
was that the order at large demanded
and that the labor cause required that
he should be reelected. The ballot
showed 102 votes for Mr.. Powderly and
six scattering. Hugh Cavanaugh was
elected general worthy foreman by a
practically unanimous vote. John w.
Hayes was elected in the same manner.
The election of the general executive
board resulted in the selection of A.

ADEADLY DISEASE.
Emperor william Said to be Afflicted with
a Serious Trouble.

a Serious Trouble.
A correspondent sends from Berlin
information concerning the nature of
the emperor's present indisposition and
its connection with the chronic disease
of the emperor's ear. 1t is believed
that the cold from which the emperor
suffers at present is renewal of the
trouble with his ear. The physician in
ordinary to his majesty admits that the
emperor suffers from otorrhna. He
says that the tympanum of the
emperor's ear is the seat of pro-
tracted suppuration. BY a constant
care the court physicians are able to
give the discharge from the ear free
egrcss. BY this means and occasional
treatment to relieve the pain all
serious danger TO the patients health
is avoided.
While the emperor's physician has
made these admissions, men of higher
scientific reputation WHO have been
called for consultation within the last
two years do not believe in the story of
benign illness but recognize in the
case malign disease of the car. The
emperor is believed by the men making
the theory of benign illness to be
suffering from a cancerous or humorous
affection and as the former is more
common they incline to the belief that
| the disease is cancerous. This con-
clusion is partially justified in view OF
the present emperor's inheritance OF
his father Frederick, who'd of can

text Mark ii:27 "The world Is agitating
is the SabbathY This is simply answered
by the fourth commandment, The
seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord
thy God 1t Is a symbol of the final
completion of the great salvation OF man
kind; but above all the Sabbath is a
covenant made at creation that per-
petual rest in triumph should be reserved
for His people. The Sabbath was used as
a test of the Israelites obedience when
they gathered mama. 1t is even now a
test of the disciples willing obedience.

the theme, Enduring TEMPTATION and Its
Reward" Our enemy Satan studied US
to discover our weakest points. Some
times he presents temptations in the form
of apparent duties. 1t is useless to trust
in ones own strength of will, or in our
ability to ourselves TO recognize tempta-
tion.
Nothing discourages an army like con-

strength to use in fighting the battles of
the Lord. Christ fought with the sword
of the spirit. We can obtain strength
from an intimate acquaintance with the
Scriptures, and vanquish satan with the
word of God. The Holy spirit is to help
us. We must acknowledge our own
weakness and need of His aid. We must
endure temptation. Victory brings
crown of life; the glory Of" the Lord re-
vealed here, and perfect fruition in the
hereafter. A solo entitled Calvary"
was sung by Mrs. George N. Burdick.
