and - fd ana hoodwinked into the
conspiracy clank the chain and mount
the galloyYs. Aaron Burr, with heart
filled with impurity and ambition,
plots for the overthrow of the United
States government and gets off with a
few threats and a little censure. while
Blennerhassett. the learned Blenner-
hassett, the sweet-tempered Blenner-
hassett, is decoyed by him from
the orchards, and the laboratories,
and the gardens, and the home on the
banks of the Ohio river, and his for
tunes are scattered, and he is thrown
into prison, and his family, brought up
in luxury, is turned out to die. Abom-
Unable Aaron Burr has it comparative
ly easy; sweet-tempered Blennerhas-
sett has il hard. Benedict Arnold pro-
posed to sell out the forts of the United
States: to surrender the revolutionary
army and to destroy the United States
government lie gets off with his
pockets full of pounds sterling, while
Maj. Andre, the brave and the bril-
liant, is decoyed into the conspiracy,
and suffers on the gibbet on the banks
of the Hudson, SO that even the litera-
ture, the marble tablature that COM
memorated that event, has been blast
ed by midnight desperadoes. Benedict
Arnold has it easy; Maj. Andre has it
hard. | have noticed that nine-tenths
Of those who suffer for crimes are
merely the satellites of some great viii
lains. Ignominious fraud is juggler
which by sleight of hand and legerde-
main makes the gold that it stole APP
pear in some body else's pocket. Jero-
boam plots the lie, contrives the impo-
sition and gets his wife to execute it.
Stand off from all imposition and chi
canery. Do not consent to be anybody's
dupe, anybodys ally in w:ckedness,
anybody's scapegoat.
The story of the text also impresses
me with the fact that royalty some
times passes in disguise. The frock,
the veil, the hood of the peasant wom-
an hid the queenly character of this
woman of Tirzah. Nobody suspected
that she was a queen or a princess as
she passed by, but she was just as
much a queen as though she stood
in the palace, her robes in
crusted with diamonds. And so
all around about us there are
princesses and queens whom the world
does not recognize. They sit on no
throne of royalty, they ride in no char
lot, they elicit no huzza, they make no
pretense, but by the grace of God they
are princesses and they are queens.
Sometimes in their poverty, some times
in their self-denial, sometimes in
their hard struggles of Christian serv-
ice--God knows they are queens; the
world does not recognize them. Roy

You saw her yesterday on the street
You saw nothing important in her APP
pearance, but she is regnant over a
vast realm of virtue and goodness
realm vaster than Jeroboam ever
looked at You went down into the
house of restitution and want and suf-

mother, on the pale cheeks of the
children, on the empty bread tray,
on the fireless hearth, on the
broken chair You would not have
given a dollar for all the furniture in
the house. But by the grace of God
she is princess. The overseers of the
poor come there and discuss the case
and say, "It's a pauper." They do not
realize that God has FURNISHED for her
crown, and that after she has got
