Teaching Hints.

To remember is half of obedience. 81
forget" is no excuse in the eyes of human
law. Can it be in divine law? The only
sure way to remember Gods law is to
hide it in the heart"
The rewards of obedience as found in
the lesson, are long life. favor with God
and men, guidance, bodily health, world:
~ prosperity, wisdom, peace. So far rs
il goes, the teaching is excellent; but the
teacher should supplement this by the
New Testament conception of the reward
Of obedience: Obedience in the first in
stance leading to regeneration, after that
to sunctifcation, or in ordinary terms, the
start on the road to holiness, and progress
on that road. In the New Testament God
is clearly revealed as the Father, and the
comparison in the twelfth verse of this
lesson becomes the actual fact. 1t is
better to emphasize this side of the re-.
ward of obedience, the fact that it means
n loving and intimate relation to God.
than the long life and prosperity which
sometimes DO come and sometimes are
withheld. IL We expect safe guidance we
must acknowledge the authority Of the
guide.
Honoring God with ones substance in
elndcs, first, oil edience to the simple COM
nanC to give: the amount, whether one
tenth or nore-certainly not less-tS be
determined according to ones conscience.
Second, liberality beyond this definite
amount also fonors God. Such lisposi-
tion of ones property does not lead to
poverty. Few indeed are the cases where
men have ruined themselves by syste-
matte benefcence. Unsystematic benei-
cence has sometimes brought trouble.
When a man owes large debts and allows
himself to give lavishly to any object
that happens to strike his fancy, he is
not honoring God. Opinions differs rs
to what course bankrupt should take
in regard to this matter. He must how
ever. have some definite income for living
expenses. and il would seem should de-
vote some proportion Of that to benevo-
lent objects; but that is difficult ques-
ton. For ordinary people, some plan of
weekly giving offers solution, and as
has been often said. nine-tenths goes
farther with Gods blessing than ten
tenths without.
The correction Of father means love,
not hate. To understand sorrow. sick
ness, and death, we must never lose sight
of the fathcrhood of God. That great
truth is the central one of Jesus teach
ing, and in another form, of Pauls. 1t
has been somewhat obscured, in some
ages, by other truths, but is now coming
again to its true place as a cardinal doc
trine of Christianity. The loving ehas-
tening of the Father is indeed one of the
rewards of obedience, if seen in the right
light. 1t brings wisdom of the highest
sort, whose ways are ways of pleasant
ness, and whose paths are peace.
The connection of the lesson with Sol
ONION is not close one. The lesson APP
pears in a book. part of which solomon
wrote. In teaching about 1.-THE rewards
of obedience" we must add that Solo
mon did not practice that obedience, and
failed of the reward. His example is a
sufficient warning of the danger that be-
sets those who see the right and do it not.

mon."--I. Kings, 10: lilo.

Golden Text.--"In all thy ways ac.
knowledge him. and he shall direct thy
paths."--Proy. 3: q.
Rewards of Obedience Is the subject
Of this. lesson. The lesson is found in
Prov. 3: LII, and is taken from that part
Of the book of Proverbs which probably
was not written by Solomon. 1t is, how
ever, none the less appropriate to this
period and Solomon's life, when he was
still wavering between obedience and
disobcdience. Had he needed the advice
here given we should not have to study
Lesson 10, which relates his fall.
The first nine chapters of this book
form a series of connected discourses in
praise of wisdom. This lesson is the
beginning of the fourth discourse.--
Forget not my law" ito remember is
the first element of obedience. LET
thine heart keep my commandments"
the entire self. intellect, affections, and
viii, is to be- given up to the keeping Of
the commandments of God. Nothing less
will insure true obedience.
Length of days and peace shall they
add to thee:" A favorite thought in the
Proverbs and the Psalms. Long life
was the mark Of divine favor in the opin-
ion of the Hebrews. Hence, one of
Jobs greatest puzzles is, "Why do the
wicked liver
with all thine heart:" common sense
teaches us that the Lord will not bless an
idle dependence. The complete trust in
God that is here spoken of is one accom-
panied by an energetic and persevcring
self-help.
Fear the Lord, and depart from evil:"
wholesome fear, not only of God, but of
the consequences of evil, will preserve a
man from sin when his conscience would
not do so.
$50 shall thy barns be filed with
plenty" the more one gives away to
Gods work, the more he is prospered; so
il has been proved by the actual expe-
rience of many large givers.
The writer has been speaking of pros
perity as the reward Of obedience; he now
answers possible objection, why do the
obedient sometimes suffer? Because, it
is answered, Christening is sometimes
better than prosperity, inasmuch as it
brings wisdom, which is the most desira-
BILE of all things.
A verse that has helped many afflicted
ones in all ages, and one that solves for
us a part of the mystery of suffering; not
the whole, however, for we cannot always
see why the particular affection should
it is not always sent for the Christening
Of Gods children. But the verse gives
some light on the problem.

POLITICAL MOVEMENTS
All Tho Candidates win he Known within

But one week more remains for candidates
for nomination on the Citizens ticket to file
their names with the Standing Committee
therefore there can be little further DELAY in
letting the voters of that party know who
they can vote for at the primaries. which
will be held two weeks from to-day. There
certainly has been a great deal of indifTer-
ence i'll connection with the campaign
and ono can more accurately estimate
to-day the shape matters will take in the
respective wards than they could three weeks
ago. Thus far but nine candidates for ward

and Thomas Bells for Justice of the Peace in

the Second James II. Morgan for Council in
the Third and Thomas TOsh for Constable
in the Third.
This constitutes the list of official candi-
dates, but there are many more spoken Of
and of course, many more to be added to the
list. 1t is understood that Councilman T. J
James will be a candidate for reelection, and
yesterday NJ. H. Kehler announced to his

I Trezise has not announced himself Off
cially as candidate for reelection to the
School Board in the Third, but it is believed
he will do so within the next three or four
days.
In the Fourth ward George Hares is
spoken of as candidate for Council on the
Citizens ticket and George Lorah is also
referred to in the same connection. In the
Fifth the Citizens nomination for Council
appears to lie between Christ. Foltz and

James Emanuel and Edward Mason are out

The former expects to win favor through his
record of the past two years in addition to
the other claims he put before the people
before, and Mr.. Mason feels that he has an
excellent show this year because there will
not be as many candidates as last year John
Matthews, Of the Fourth ward, is making
very active canvass for the Democratic nomi-
nation for High Constable and is evidently
building up excellent chances. He is an old
and respected resident of the town and will
