comprehend more of the plan of God
In the gift of Jesus Christ His Son. It
was for the healing of souls the pre-
clous blood was shed. They that are
whole need not a physician, but they
that are sick, and to every n of these
H9 puts the question, "Wilt thou be
made whole9" If the desire for per
feet health overmasters all other wishes
and ambitions, the touch of healing is
not long delayed; the word of power
says, BE thou clean"
There is great rest and comfort in
accepting the way of salvation with
the simplicity of little children. We
sometimes know too much for our own
good, OF it may be better to say we
give undue Importance to our knowl-
edge, and suffer it to stand in the way
Of faith. The kingdom of heaven
which is righteousness and peace and
joy in the Holy Ghost, is not entered
by the way Of intellectual knowledge.
Except we believe as little children,
0H4OOSSAOAAD68 NAAO0SOhAuSS 0AuSG1O4S
obedient, we cannot enter in. Right
eousness, peace, and joy in the Holy
Ghost is full salvation through Jesus
the Saviour. No one ever found it by
knowledge; the knowledge follows the
finding.
Righteousness - right with God
through the forgiveness of sin; right
in heart through the washing of regen-
GRAFTON and sanctiication of the Spirit;
right in the life through walking in the
Spirit.
Peace-the quiet of a holy trust; the
hushing of passion; the suffusion of
the soul with a soft radiance like the
dawn of a cloudless morning.
Joy-the e~xaltation of soul from the
filling of the Spirit; the joy of service;
the joy that no man and no circum-
stances can take from us; the joy of
the Lord which is our strength.
All this is soul-health, result of the
medicine of salvation taken with
the simplicity of a little child. The
more we reason about it and try to e
plain it, the more difficult it is to take
it We must simply take" the cup of
salvation, then we shall know" of the
doctrine.

Good

A reader of the newspapers will be
surprised, if he will notice how fire.
quently prominent men are quoted in
language which the editor has to ex-
press with a blank. 1t would appear
from a recent account of a polite al
meeting, that no one spoke in the hear
ing Of the newspaper men without in
~teriecting course words" and oaths.
Now, if a man has any self respect at
all he is unwilling to have a cursor and
a blasphemer set up in office to protect
his interests and to be example for his
children. A shameless public cursor
will not be a good officer. A man who
does not respect the name of God may
not be counted upon to respect his fell
lows except in 50 far as they may be of
use to him. No matter what his plat
form and his political principles, a
blasphemer is not worthy of a public
trust. Aside from the religious and
moral view of the matter, did it over
occur to you that cursing is the sign Of
a poorly equipped mind as well as an
u~ngovernable temper. A man uses
oaths and blasphemous i~mprecations
because he recognizes the need of strong
language, but is so poorly equipped
that he cannot make it strong with
simple respectable English. He lacks
knowledge or use of our limitless treas
ury of adjectives, and falls back upon
the worn out and meaningless curse
words of the street gamin, and in vain,
for the time has passed when these ex-
pressions had force. An educated man
is too proud of the English language to
go beyond it to express his thoughts

Sympathy for the Toilers.

The heart of humanity is on the way
TO the laboring masses. The woman
who pays her house rent, clothes and
feeds herself and children, with five
dollars a week, is of much greater in
terest than one whose life is devoted to
luxury and fashion and Incidence.
The display of the palace has achieved
a vulgar reputation, while tenement
houses and garrets and cellars are ex-
pIored for romance and poetry. We
grow weary of the artificial tone of
what is called society, and rejoice in
genuine human nature, whether it be
under ground or nearer heaven in some
attic. Call it fad or fashion or passion,
the laborers have arrested attention
that might arouse the envy of mon
archs. Tragedy has a deeper fascina-
ton than comedy; is that the reason7
Labor's name is Sampson; he was
blind, but is beginning to see; he feels
his bonds and imprisonment, and that
makes his situation go pathetic; and If
some day he pulls down our material
istic temple and buries its worshipers
enid the ruins, it is but pathos
transformed to wrath and ter
ror, Nothing makes our times more
earnest than the millions whose aspi-
rations have been awakened, who In
sist on their realization, and yet feel
the doom of despair.-Sel.

The Sabbath.

The holy S lbbath is our nations cita
del, it's strong tower. This bulwark is
now being assaulted by various forms
Of human devices. Evil in the unre-
generated heart is the chief reason of
this antagonism. In no other way can
we explain it. Strange it is, indeed,
that such a gift to the race should be
so much despised. The enemies of the
Sabbath are lying in ambush all around
us, ready to rush forth at any moment
and join together to destroy it. We
are not, like the pilgrim fathers, sum
moned to seize carnal weapons. Ours
is an age when appeal is to be made on
the highest moral and spiritual
grounds. Still we do need their cour
age and reverence for sacred things.
We must, like our forefathers in the
battles which they fought, be united.
We like them, must be constantly on
the w~atchtower. Unless we are thus
vigilant, the foes of the day will gain
unexpected advantage.
After all, is not the great peril more
within than without the Sabbath cita-
del2 The brave Gordon was safe so
long as secret betrayal within the fort
did not thre ten. When. this came he
was obliged to yield. Is it not likely
to prove thus in regard to Gods holy
days We fear for the Sabbath because
of worldly practices among those who
should haIIow it, and because weak
c~onsciences are yielding to outward
pressure. We are more in danger here
than IN open assault. How may these
tendencies be %arrested9 Physical force
will not avail. Arguments drawn from
mere ~expediency or physical health or
present advantage are insufficient.
The arm of civil law will utterly fail.
Truth logged in the soul-truth moving
the conscience-will be effectual, and
only this. Christians who have fallen
into wrong habits can be recovered
only by divinely wrought convictions
N respect to Sabbath observance. To
produce such convictions is the i'm
portant work of the home, the school,
and the church.

The Bible.
LEDTTED BY REV. D. H. TUTTLE.1

RIest book, where'er thy namei is known
The great Creators love is shown;
Ten thousand tongues His praise employ
And hearts unnumbered leap for Joy.
A beams of morn from heaven flow,
And evenings gentle breeZ9s blow,
So come the truths thy leaves unfold
A food of light upon the world.
A drops of dew from heaven fall,
and shed their sweetness over all.
81 come thy precepts which declare
That God Ger all extends His care.
Without thy beams of holy light,
The world would have eternal night;
The way Of life and hope serene
Would be to dying man a dream.
But as the SUD by cheerful rays
The beauties of the world displays,
So thy ennoblinG truths expand
The hearts that yield to thy commands.
Thou art a guide to show the way
From gloomy night to open day,
And cheer the pilgrim on the road
Which leads him to a blest abode.
Thou art a teacher from above,
The offspring of eternal love,
A sun to drive the clouds away
Which once shut out a future day.
O. Nav thy salutarv beams
In all their sweet effulgence CLEAN
on every heart, where'er it be,
Preparing for eternity

THE ARMENIAN MATTER AGAIN.

The evident determination of the
Turkish government to eXpel American,
British and French missionaries from
the empire has aroused fresh interest
in the Armenian matter. AT n meeting
in London on Wednesday Il committee
was appointed to bring the subject to
the attention of the government leader
in the House of Commons and to ask
an increase Of the number of British
consuls in Asiatic Turkey. Secretary
Olney has recommended the establish
ment of a consulate at AleXandretta, in
order to have an official in that section
of the Ottoman empire to look after
American missions and schools. AT the
same time greater efforts are being
made TO secure relief for the Armenians.
The indications are that the Armenian
matter will again assume prominence
as an international issue. 1t is sug-
gested that what the Turkish govern
Russia o"J If such is the case the pol
icy Of expulsion will be riGidly carried
out, though it may not be accompanied
by any violence. There is some reason
to doubt whether the Russian govern
has anything to do with the newly
disclosed Turkish plan and 1t Is pretty
safe to say that in any event Russia
would not be n party TO any scheme
which might involve Il further massacre
of the Armenians. If, as suggested,
there is an agreement or understanding
between Turkey and Russia which con-
templates the Russianizing of Asiatic
may be a requirement of it, but not
further sacrifices of Armenians. At any
rate the Armenian matter is evidently
far from being settled, and interesting
developments are probable in the near

an uNPRoroEED AspERs10N.

The chief representative of the Omaha
underwriters repeats in print over his
own signature the assertion that "an in
surance man has NJ chance. in an argu-
ment with an editor for the reason that
a man who stands in mud up to his
waist can throw more dirt than the
man who stands on dry ground" This
slur east upon the press Is entirely I'M
provoked and uncalled for. Not n word
has appeared in any Omaha paper that
could be construed into n personal at
tack upon any man who is defending
the high rates imposed upon Omaha
policy holders.
On the contrary, the entire insurance
discussion, through the press. has been
free from aspersions upon individuals
and carried on on the broad ground Of
public rights and public interest. There
has been no mud-slinglng and the i'm
putation that editors are up to their
proyokingly offensive. SO far as II
Bee is concerned, its position has been
consistent and free from all prejudice
or partially. While fearlessly express
ing its own views and convictions, 1t
has faithfully reported the arguments
used by both sides. And the fact that
the representative of the insurance com
panies has been accorded n full and
fair hearing before the public through
the press shows that the insurance in
terests are not being sandbagged and
have no good grounds for complaint at
their treatment by Omaha newspapers.
The question of discriminating insur-
ance rates is a very serious matter.
Insurance agents will not strengthen
their cause by i|mpugning the motives
of editors, nor Il they make Omaha
people believe that the eXtortionate
rates they are now paying are equitable
by stigmatizing editors as professional
m~ud-slingers. Such efforts cannot but
impress the public with the conviction
that the position of the insurance men
is not defensible by sound argument

III EFFECT OF DELAY.

The proposed Transmississippi expo
sition has long since passed beyond the
stage of Il local enterprise. The project
has been enthusiastically endorsed by
commercial bodies. legislatures, mu-
nicipal and state officers, the press and
the people of nearly One-half of the
American continent. The i~ncalculable
benefits to be derived from an extensive
exhibit of the products and resources
of the transmississippi country are APP
parent to all. The effect of such an eX-
position in stimulating the growth and
development of the greater west can
hardly be ovcrestimated.
While the feasibility of the eXposi-
ton is beyond doubt, and its ultimate
success may be regarded as assured,
there is danger in delay. Unless con-
gress shall at the present session pass
the bill giving governmental recognition
II providing for Il government exhibit,
the promoters of the enterprise will be
seriously hampered in their preliminary
work. 1t would be practically out of
question to make any considerable head
way with the state legislatures that
are to meet next winter while the eX-
position bill is hanging fire in congress.
At the very best, two years is not at all
too long for the preparation OF grounds,
the execution of plans and the erection
of buildings commensurate with the
magnitude of the undertaking, not to
speak of the collection of exhibits and
thorough advertisement OF the enter
prise mt home and abroad. The delay
of congressional action until next win
ter would mean n loss of Mt least nine
months time. and might force the post
ponement of the exposition. Such post
ponement would be a serious drawback
for obvious reasons. 1t might dampcn
the ardor and energy of the men who
have enlisted in this enterprise and
would tend in n measure to retard the
complete revival of prosperity, in which
the exposition is sure to be such IN
important factor.
