notices how man, from the beginning, has
food At for his higher organizaJion-food
that requires cooking, or preparation of
some kind, and how thus the cooked meal
in common has led to family union. The
dominion over fish and fowl points to the
right to use them for food, as afterwards
was the case. Abel's sacrifice seems TO in
timate a sacred feast. This eating of living
things when slam was formally granted
after the flood. (See chap. tx. 3D.

Dablims Trnths Contained In Genesis.
che Book Of Beginnings-A Lesson
Treating OF Gods Creation OF the First
Human Pair.


Golden text: So God created man In his
bwn image Genesis 1. "a.
Lesson: Genesis |. 1851; H. 1-3
The Bible contains the history of Gods
people. 1t begins with the creation, for
the church of saved men presupposes tho
human race, and the hu man race presup-
poses the world that they live on. One
must go back to the beginning to see that
The God of salvation is the creator OF all
things. Genesis is the book of beginnings.
The first chapter contains these
sublime truths: /. There is but
pne God, above, independent of, and
older than the universe. Q In Him all
exccllences. as His plural name signifies,
Are united. 3. The universe is the pro-
duct of Being with intelligence and free
will 4. Creation was accomplished by
stages. 5. Man is the highest product OF
ereative power. made in the likeness of his
Maker. and crowned king of the earthly
creation. AS to the agreement Of Genesis
With science, In the order OF crea-
hon, DIR. S. Kinns shows. In his

and science agree, and that the

cal impossibility. Principal Dawson OF

 It is the promise of that day which this bill gives that makes II aecepta- hle, and the other promise that 1t gives the promise that in relieving the cOsumefs the people who have invested theirm0ney in manufactures are not to be injured ought to nake the bill satisfactory to the manufac- turcrs themselves, and it would if, like Andrew Carnegie, they had the wis dom to see that the experiment. of McKinleyism has been tried and has failed, and that the time has come to consider the right of the majority rather than the profits of the minority.

Fo0RHEES AND TIE TARIFF

t0ORHkES AND TIE TARIFF
 One of the most sensible articles we have seen anywhere on the tariff bill is a discussion in the New York lForld of Senator Veorhees speech on that measure as il has beea re ported by the Senate. or course. the tariff bill is not what the radical tariff reformers would like to have it, but il is the best bill that can be passed under the circumstances 0f Me Voorhees, speech and the bill the New York Horld says.
 Senator Voorhees, speech in open- i le the debate on the tariff bin will greatly add t0 his reputation as n public speaker. The bill that he k forced hy circumstances to advocate is HI inadequate attenna at the solution of the tariff problem. but such as il k the country Mill be thankful t1 ;lc Senate if it passes if without flrther mutilation and without q too prolonged deaate.
 Notwithstanding the expressions made to monopolists and trusts for the purpose of inducing Democratic Senators to sustain their partya~ promises and to keep their parte,S pledges, the bill ia male on d plI.i. crple entirely different from fhai which has controlled ip the makinp oi any law since the passage of the Walker tariff in lS46 It k not pri- mafiiY for the increase of the ahnor- nal profits offaVored dmannfactnrerS II IS for the relief of tine consumers heiag fegnulfHl at the same time o the vested rights of capital in enter prlses that have been encouraged hv our laws.
