FIGHT AT THE MINES.

OAxAcA, Mexico, Aug 1.-The
Anita mine in the Florencia district,
southeast of here, has been the scene
of a riot between John Merritt, the
American superintendent, his assist
ants and about 50 Mexican miners.
Merritt and three of the miners were
killed. The trouble grew out OF the
discharge of several miners by Mer-

Vigilant did not start in the yacht race
today in which she was to have again
contested with the Britannia and Sat
inita. To an Associated Press re-
porter Mr.. Gould explained that his
reason for not sailing the Vigilant to-

trim for tomorrow's race with the
Britannia for the 800 cup offered by
Mr.. Wolverton, 10 miles TO windward
and return. Speaking of yesterday
defeat Mr.. Gould said the race was
fairly sailed and lie was satisfied. The
yachts coutesting today's race for the
Commodore's cup were Britannia, Sat-

The course was around the Isle of
Wight, j3 miles. The Britannia
crossed the finish line first. The SAT-
inita was second. but the Carina won

The Son of Man had come, not as ar
ascetic. He was man among men. He
made no small protests. He ate as others
ate He drank as others drank. He
sought only to awaken spiritual hunger;
and reinforce human nature at its sources
Yet, by the same representative men of his
generation he was rejected. They said Of
Jesus that he was drunkard, glutton.
They said of the Baptist: "He should
not be man apart" They said of Jesus,
the Man among Men, "He should be a
man apart" What they could endure in
neither was real, unpretending, unvar-
nished righteousness. This stung their
hypocrisy to the quick.
Jesus recalled the proverb: Wisdom is
justified of all her children. The mean
ing is: Those who have had the spirit of
wisdom born in them, know the difference
between wisdom and folly. Or again:
Justice can be discerned by the just.

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRODUCTION. John the Baptist, from the
time he had turned from the emoluments of his in
herited priesthood to hermits lodge in the wilder
ness, had lived a life of self-abnegation.-He had
no favortism to show to high or low; he was in his
preaching as impartial as the sunlight or the rain.
He was now in prison learning the last and
highest lesson of experience, ENDuRANcE.-He
did well to send directly to Jesus for explanation
Of his perplexities.
a. V.24-zS. Jesus expressed faith in the con-
stancy of the Baptist He was not limp weed to
be swayed by the wind. He was not a luxury-loving
courteur seeking royal favors, and easily turned
from his guiding principle. He was still what the
scribes had found him when they made bid for his
favor in the wilderness, and greeted by him as
generation of vipers.-/ohn zyas the greatest of
all tile f,othets: Ist, He had matched the best of
them in self-abnegation 3D. He had shown a moral
courage equal to the best; sd, He had triumphed
better than any other in the trial of endurance 4h
He was nearest to the dawn of the Kingdom of
Heaven in which all men are revealed to be children
of the King.-Nevertheles the least in the King
dom OF Heaven is greater than the greatest in the
realm of service, the newborn child of king is
greater in his esteem than the most renowned
servant
e. V.2o 80. Those who were children of wis
dom, who had appreciated the moral heroism of the
Baptist, who had themselves chosen to follow the
best light they knew,these, whether Jews or Roman
publicans, felt deep gladness because of the just
and sublime testimony Jesus gave to John.-Those
who had preferred continuance in their evil habits
to the repentance and reformed life which John had
inculcated, the Pharisees and scribes who had not
been baptized by John, now added their dislike of
John to their dislike for Jesus theil hatred of each
was hatred of both.
49, V. 3I-35. Jesus asked what would be ac-
ceptabe to THE MEN of his generation,-not the
common people, now so completely in his favor but
the appointed, religious authorities the nominally
representative men.--John the Baptist had come
in the traditional character of prophet; the men
of the generation pronounced him crazy fanatic
He had himself come as one of the people, man
among men, exating the common virtues in COM
mon life; and he was called mere commonplace
eater and drinker. What did the men of the gener-
alton wantf The one thing they could not endure
was reproof of their own sins. They were looking
for prophet, Coming One, who would exhaust
his mission in doing homage to their hypocritical
elfrighteousness.-Iti is to the measureess credit
OF both the Baptist and Jesus that they found dis
favor in the eyes of the scribes and Pharisees.-
To have the Of right within is to be able to
perceive the right in all the tangled moral problems
Wisdom is the kindly mother of her children.

with ferocious microbes seeking whom
they may devour. They imagine their
insidious enemies perched on restaurant
chairs. sitting atilt on the passing coin,
flying from shoulder to shoulder in the
iostling crowd. They have learned that
the water they drink swarms with life
and carries germs of dread disease.
They have learned that one article Of
food is bad for the nerves, another heats
the blood, another is hard to digest, and
Sd on through all known menus. They
have learned that imperfect sanitation
and ventilation endanger health, and
that proper conditions are, moreover,
very rarely attained. Nor is it in every
day affairs alone that science has pointed
out the dangers that await man.
Through all the realm of human inter-
ests it has conjured up evils. lis warn
ing cry runs the gamut of calamities
from the danger of not exercising enough
up to the danger of the race multiplying
too fast for the earth to support it and
the equally dramatic danger of the earth
flying from its orbit and rushing into the
warm embrace of the sun.
Sensitive souls are reduced to state
of abject terror when they think of the
small chances man has of life, health and
prosperity, in the face of these ogres of
science. What shall they eat, where
withal shall they be clothed, what can
they in safety do, when in all things
Turk death and disaster? They dare not
indulge their pet weakness for coffee.
They eschew their favorite dainties.
They fear to come in contact with their
fellows or to touch the railing, counter
or car strap, touched alike by all sorts
and conditions of men. They fear con-
tagior in the doctors office and blood
poisoning from his knife. They fear a
thousand things in daily life Meanwhile
they still live.
Certainly science has evolved much
truth, and its warnings are worth the
needing. But the warnings of science,
like all other advice, should be referred
to judicious committee on common
sense. 1t should be remembered that
doctors sometimes disagree. and the YER
dict of one authority, or half dozen, is
not necessarily the verdict of science.
Moreover. truth may be too sweepingly
applied. Circumstances and individu-
ais differ, and what will hold good in
one case needs modification in another
1t seems to the hardened and incredu-
lous that if life be really so beset with
dangers. it is passing strange that gene
ration after generation should have
lived and thrived in their midst and this
also without knowledge of their exis-
tence. If our ancestors, knowing moth
ing of these wonderful discoveries Of
hidden evil, managed to avoid the pit
falls, why not we? Does mere knowl-
ledge of danger make one more suscep-
tible to it's effects? Where is the wis
dom that should accompany increasing
knowledge? Natural living and conf
dence in nature are the best safeguards
against such evils. Common sense is
the best of disinfectants and work the
best remedies Minneapolis Times.

FOURTH QUARTER.

INTRODUCTION.
LUKE 7: 24-3s.

The Baptist, at our lesson date, had
been for several months, some chronicle
gists say for whole year, under the hard
discipline of endurance. We recall the
reason of his Imprisonment. Herod An
tipas, governor of Galilee and Perea, at
one time heard John preach. 1t is proba-
Bile that, failing to allure the prophet to his
palace, he himself came with the multitude
to the wilderness. 1t is probable also that
he brought with him, as solicitor of pop
ular acclaim, the handsome, heartless
Herodias. The sight of this woman, in
stead of adding to Herod's glory, would
be to the Baptist reminder of Herod's
perddy. For, but short time before,
when Herod was guest at the house of
his citizen brother Philip in Rome, he re-
paid his fraternal hospitality by alluring
away his wife and daughter. The ambi-
tious Herodias was installed in the place
of Herod's lawful wife in his Galllean pal
ace. The wronged brother Philip, being
only private citizen, had no redress
against such injustice. He was further
outraged by having his undivorced Hero
dias married to the undivorced Herod.
When these conspicuous sinners appeared
before John, soliciting his favor, he made
no account of the fact that they both had
royal blood in their veins. 1t was the
prophets habit to specially address ind-
viduals in the multitude. To Herod he
said, speaking face to face, 1t is not Ia1V-
.fnI for thee to haze thy brothers. vite.
The guilty governor was struck with con-
sternation. Herodias demanded Johns
immediate Death. Johns arrest followed !;
he was confined in the castle at Macharus
Herodias fretted; Herod vascillated. Dur
ing the weary months John languished in
prison. His life sought by heartless
woman and every moment hanging on the
caprice of tyrant; his disciples, when
suffered to come to him, bringing him per.
picking reports of the progress of Jesus
ministry the outlook from his palace
prison, if he was suffered to look out, be-
ing only the desolate rocks of the Dead
Sea depression what wonder, that he,
like a Gagged eagle, or Gagged lion, had
dropping spirit, sinking heart Hard
indeed must have been his discipline of
endurapca
