PoWERLEss TO COMBAT SIN.
Education and Culture Have but Multi
piled Mans Devices For Evil.


"Men seek to make excuse for SIM"
writes Dwight L.. Moody in the initial dis
course to Mr. Moody's Bible Class" in
The Ladies' Home Journal "They call
1t by other names and try to explain away
its power or cover up its hideousness.
They tell us thft 1t is merely ignorance,
which culture will eradicate; that In each
and every man there Is good, and that
with culture and education this will be do
veloped. Antiquity has proved that edu-
cation and culture are powerless to combat
natural sin. They seem TO have but mul.
tiplied the ingenuities and devices of mans
evil passions
1.-THE corrupt and degenerate days Of
cultured Rome, even during her proud
golden age of wealth, of literature, Of
beauty and philosophy. have left to us
monuments Of her obscenity and vice.
The wisdom of Greece and the learning OF
Egypt never saved their subjects from tho
corruption of sin. The epistles of ST.
Paul To tke churches of Asia Minor are a
sufficient commentary upon tho efficacy Of
their boasted refinement in the develop
ment of noble and pure lives.
Nor have we to go into ancient history
for vindication of the awful truth Of a
fallen nature. Do our own times offer no
illustration of inherent sing Does not tho
presence of sin, often the most vile and
dark In its offices, reveal itself in lives
which from earliest infancy have been sur
rounded by only that which was pure and
good? Are our convicts made solely from
those who have not had advantages"

Tom Watson Turns Historian.

Mr.. Watson has in press the first volume
of history of France treated from the
point of view of modern roformor.
Commencing with ancient Gaul, the book
ends with the death Of Joan of Arc.
The past Is the wisest teacher Of the pres
ent, and no nation teaches more imprcs-
sively than France In this first volume
the original abuses Of the system by which
the church and the state finally maddened
tho people and drove them into tho wild
excossos of tho French revolution arc cloar-
~ traced.
The second volume will embrace tho
French revolution, and tho third will give
the story of Napoleon ard the subsequent
history Of France down 60 tho present time.
The author believes that the lessons Of re-
form and the vital Importance Of good gov
eminent can be better taught from tho
stern experience of nations than from edi-
torials or from speeches. Peoples Party

heard during the course of the evening.
land so diverted Rosey's attention from
the subject of their conversation.
Nothing more was said about the star
in my hearing that evening, but not
little to my surprise few days after
ward. Rosey told me that oil Northtow-
ers was agog as to why the loss of SO
valuable an article had been hushed up.
"And everyone seems TO think that it
is very queer" Rosey ended.
sNy dear child" reioined, "if Sir
Thomas chooses to hush a matter of
that kind up it is no business of any
one else's. Don't mix yourself up in 1t
its no business of ours"
"But people are oil talking like any
thing" she rejoined, eagerly; then, sec
ing that was about to speak, she broke
in eagerly: "Oh, Joe, you dear, honest
old straight-lace, don't try to stop me
Ior shall surely die of it. j must talk
about it to somebody, and. after all,
there's no one so safe as you. There,
now you're laughing and look like your
self, which, let me tell you, sir, you
never do when you put on the sancti-
monious air."
She sat down on the arm Of my chnir
her favorite seat - and twined her
arm about my neck. "Joe," she said,
in her most confidential tones, ''wlat
do you think they are saying? That
LADY Peach never lost that star at all,
but that she gave it awayl"
"Fiddle!" / exclaimed. "What will
these silly people say next. i wonder|
swell, there is something in it-or it
seems So" Roscy went on ut seems
that the very same day that 1t was lost,
or supposed to be lost, some young man
pawned il at Cowper's. Cowper lent
him fifty pounds on il, and then hear
ing that Lady Peach had lost her star.
he voolx il to Sir Thomas and-und
asked him, you know, if that was the
one? For, as he told Mrs. Dixon, he
did not want TO be implicated in any
thing shady. Sir Thomas was quite
angry ubout it, and said IL was not the
star, or anything like it,"
Il suppose he would be most likely 10

MY dear Joe," said Rosey, mysteri-
ously. "Cowper happened to show it to
Waters, who sold it to Sir Thomas, and
Waters says positively that it is the
same"
For a moment I was too much sur
prised TO speak. Then pulled myself
together in moral sense. II daresay
the old man had reason for not wish
ing 10 have il talked of, y said At all
events, we can hardly go and ask him
,for full explanation, can we?"
"No, Joe, certainly not" said my
wife, quite Indignantly. "Only as we
---at least. am human, one cannot help
wondering" 1t was an involved SEN
aence, and made no attempt to an
aver it.
1t was quite two years after this that
young Lady Peach had dangerous ILL

her her life. In all my experience 1

was evidently desperately ill. She did

her poor hands stretched out helpless
