Lesson For the Week Beginning Dec. Is.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, A. NJ.
Topic. Christ Present In the


SCRIPTURE READING.-Luke xii, 1870.
The Holy Communion. 1t was the
last night of the earthly life of our Lord
Jesus In an upper room somewhere in
Jerusalem He and His apostles had
gathered to eat the passover. Since it
was instituted by Moses, nearly 1900
years before, it had served as a bond of
union to bind Israelites together by
memory of the marvellous deliverance of
their nation into liberty from Egyptian
bondage. 1t was memorial also of de-
liverance from death when the angel OF
Jehovah smote the frstb born Of Egypt.
It was also prophetic, pointing forward
10 true sacrifice which should some
time be offered as real atonement for
sin. Ii was communion of Israelites
among themselves and also communion
with Jehovah. 1t was the sign Of a COW
enant and the pledge or seal of fidelity
TO the terms of that agreement Of Jeho-
yah TO be their God and Israel to be His
people.
The Offering of the Lamp of God for
the sins of the world is about to be ac-
complished on the morrow by the cru
cifixion. The purpose Of God unfolds to
take in its redemptive scope-not Israel
merely, bnt all mankind. The bloody
sacrifices are TO be ended when Christ
appears in the holy place once for all
with the offering of Himself. The new
and real deliverance from sin now APP
pears, and Gods new covenant is offered
to men. Faith in God through Jesus
Christ as Lord is like sprinkled blood
on the door in old times. 1t brings sal
walton. The communion Of God and
men in future and Of men among them
selves shall be in the spirit. 1t shall be
a partaking of one nature. Gods holt
ness and love shall take possession OF
men, and they shall be like Him az
Jesus Christ was like Him.
The new sign Of this new covenant
replaces the old Passover. Bread and
wine now commemorate the offering OF
the life Of Christ for the sins of men.
There is triple meaning in the service
Of the Lords supper. 1t is memorial
Of His precious death, to continue until
His coming again. 1t is means of con
veying grace to the soul truly partak
ing in faith and sealing upon the sou
Gods blessings 1t is prophetic of the
final deliverance of the true followers o.
Christ into His liberty at His secont
coming in glory.

There are four insane patients now in
jail awaiting transportation to New
berry. The asylum is crowded and seems
likely to remain SO for some time. Four
is about the average in care OF the sheriff
OF this county most OF the time and the
cost to the taxpayers is not small, for
the statute only compels the sheriff to re-
tain them fourteen days, and he charges,
and is entitled to, extra compensation
for the care OF such inmates OF the jail.
1t would almost Day the county to main
tain an insane asylum OF It's own for the
care OF at least those patients considered
durable. This is the opinion OF officials
who know the cost OF keeping here those
awaiting transportation, the cost oil
taking down those who are admitted
and the fees this county has to pay to
the State for the care OF her patients.
1t may be Utopian idea. but it seems
reasonable.

Emil FRANKIE, the young man from Chi
cago. who has furnished copper country
scribes with considerable "copy" recently,
has been discharged from custody under
the warrant and extradition papers OF
the governor Of Michigan. When last
here, Detective Corbus was determined TO
take him to Chicago and was wild at the
successful efforts for his release made by
Attorney A. R. Gray, but when all obje, :
tions were removed his accusers seemed
to have lost all desire to zee him in Chi
cagO. The result almost confirms
Franke's claim that the creditors OF his
father trumpet up the charges against
him to get him to Chicago. Ii is prob
able that he will now enter the Mining
School, as he has all along desired to do,
and has been studying toward that end.

Mckinley For Harmony.

Mckinley For Harmony.
A distinct feature of the new president 5
policy, as / gather it from his friends, is
ono of constructivencss. He wants perfect
harmony in the party, that he may build
up, and build rapidly and enduringly. He
does not want and does not intend to have
any pickering, any game of cross purposes
between executive and senate. President
Cleveland has had great deal of trouble
of that sort President Harrison was al
ways, or nearly always, in hot water with
the senate. The practical success OF both
administrations was moro or less msrred
by these quarrels. Major Mckinley hopes
to get on well with both senate and house,
and he is already effecting friendly I'M
Outstanding with leaders at both ends of
the capitol and with men of all factions.
If Mr.. Hanna were to come to the senate
as the successor of Mr.. Sherman, he could
be of great assistance there to his friend
the president.
I am not so sure that Mr.. Sherman
would DO complete success in the state
department. There is no other post in the
government so exacting in its demands
upon its incumbent The secretary of state
cannot turn important work over to his
subordinates Only the routine or the
lesser matters go to them. He must him
self see ambassadors and ministers. They
will not transact their business with assist
ant secretaries when the secretary is In the
department 1t Is beneath their dignity To
be turned over to an underling. A secre-
tary of state must meet in keen compet-
ton every day of his life the trained, bright
men of the world who arc sent hither as
ambassadors and ministers for the purpose
of getting the best of him. 1t Is their wits

The question is whether or not Senator

The cabinet Of the First General dis.
trict had for some time debated the ad.
visibility of holding biennial rather
than annual conventions. A recommen'

conventions, beginning with 1896, was
submitted to the convention in Prov

Israel Among the Nations" study
Of the Jews and anti-Semitism, by Ana
tole Leroy-Beaulieu, is not only an
able, candid, impartial and scholarly
volume, but a very interesting one
as well-a fact which greatly enhances
dts value as controversial document
1t is little difficult for the American
reader to realize that, aside from the
bigotry of the Russian lower classes,
There is actually an existent Jewish
question" in any civilized country,
which demands and deserves such seri-
Gus consideration as has been given it
here. NJ. Leroy-Beaulieu is himself
a Christian and member Of the In
'stitute of France, and his defense of
Israel is therefore disinterested and
bipartisan.
Modern European anti-Semitism, it
seems, finds in the presence of the Jew
in Europe the explanation of the wor-
ship of money, the scandalous barter Of
political influence, the shameless ex-

tiers, science nor politics, can the Jew
be shown to be characterized by a ma
tional spirit or national genius funda-
mentally different from that of the ma
lions among whom he lives The pro-
phetlc spirit which was the Hebrew
genius in the beginning, has departed
from the race as the genius of philos-
ophy has deserted the Greeks, and the
genius of law the Romans. The He
brew shows high ability and a great
variety of aptitudes, assimilatiye pow
er and adaptability, but these traits
are no menace to the national life Of
the peoples among whom he dwells,
but rather, an earnest of good citizen
ship.
In the limits of brief review it is
not possible to give any adequate
idea Of M. Leroy-Beaulieu's philosoph-
1c grasp of his subject, nor Of his pro-
found and often fascinating psychol-
ogiz1ng. The book Is one which can
not fail to find wide appreciation,
and to take its place as a valuable con-
tribution to that comparative psychol-
ogy of nations which it's author ac-
knowledges to be his favored study.

We call the attention of the people
who complain that all the freshness and
promise in recent literature comes from
the young English writer's to 'Stone
Pastures" by Eleanor Stuart Here is
a home grown novelette,, concise, vivid
and vigorous. It's scene is laid in a
Pennsylvania manufacturing town in
the iron region, and the characters are
drawn from the polyglot conglomera
ton of working people inhabiting such
a place. Emma Butte, the heroine, Is
barber, with rare head for Twin
straight" Jarlsen, her lover, who was
injured by a blast just before the mar
riage was to take place, is Swede with
golden voice and American ideals. He
eschewed labor unions and kept a bust
of Lincoln on the mantel. Also, che had
begun to shave himself the day he felt
he loved his barber. The town discov-

lying and alcoholic, "a terrible scant
Christian" according to the verdict of
the town.
Out Of these characters, in their
squalid surroundings, the author has
wrought a swift-moving little drama,
as interesting in style as it is absorbing
in substance. The book is, perhaps, too
concise. Twenty thousand words give
slight scope for the evolution of plot
and the characterization of a whole
town and half a dozen individuals,
but since Eleanor Stuart has accom-
plished the feat in that space, 1t would
be ungrateful to quarrel with her for
not expanding more words in the
process.

eral German press led partly by the
Jews, was assailing the church, the
clerical party retorted with an attack
upon the synagogue. Why" said a
Silesian German to the historian,
Should you try to prevent us from re-
turning to the Talmud the blows aimed
at the Gospel?" The contest was one
in which Israel lost more than it
gained, bringing upon itself the charge
that "the struggle for civilization is
the struggle against the ascendency
of the Jewish spirit and Of Jewish
wealth. In every political movement it
is the Jews who play the most radical
and revolutionary part, waging war to
the death against all that has re-
manned legitimate, historical and Chris
tian in national life" This complaint,
advanced by Catholic Germany, was
taken up by Protestant Germany, Aus
tria and orthodox Russia, and there
have not been wanting Jews to seize
upon the reproach and acknowledge it
proudly. In spite of this fact, how
ever, no student of history will there
by be convinced that Judaism is either
to be praised or blamed for the mod
ern spirit" of iconoclasm; for positiv-
ism, evolutionism, determiniSm or pes
simism. The chapter, Jews, Christi
anity and Modern IDEAS is a master
ly summing up of the tendencies which
have gone to make our era what 1t is,
and an expression of the authors con-
viction that what has been called the
Judaising of modern society might bet
ter be called it's paganizing. "Shem
and Japhet, swept along by the same
wind, are slipping. side by side, down

what goes to the making of Jew, ar
guing that they are not of pure Semitic
blood, and that even from physiology

even the principal element in their
formation. The modern Jew, he as
serts, is an artificial product, matured
by age-long isolation and ritual, the
