that the sacrifice of human life was not
demanded, but was forbidden, by the
One God. Yet that Abraham was will
ing to offer more to Jehovah than his
neighbors, the devotion of Baal and Mo-
loch, we're willing to offer to their idols,
was reckoned a peculiar heroism Of
faith. The inference James draws from
this historic occurrence is that it was
Abraham's willingness to do. that makes
him the meritorious example. Not his
specific act,-that was then and ever
afterwards prohibited, but his loyalty
to the Inner Voice in fulfilling the hard
est apparent duty,-this made Abraham
witness of the value of works as the
only guarantee of the genuineness Of
faith. The scripture aeas fulfilled which
saith, And Abraham believed God, and
1T acds reckoned unto him for righteous
ness; and he aoas called the friend Of
God.

TEACHERS HELP.

Interest in our lesson passage is in
vited primarily because of its author.
We noted in our last lesson that
James was in the place of authority in
the church in Jerusalem. and that his
wise counsels we're very effective in
bringing the church to the Pauline in
depreciation of Christianity. Who was
that James? He could not have been the
apostle, the son of Zebedee. brother of
John, one of the twelve; this James suff-
fered martyrdom several years previous
to this date. Who was this second pro-
minent James? Scientific study of the
evidence has led the biblical scholars to
a virtually unanimous opinion that this
James, this Bishop of Jerusalem. is none
other than the one who is called by Paul
(Gal. 1:19) the Lords brother.
1t is further the scholarly opinion
that this James was literally the brother
of Jesus. 1t is clearly implied in the
record that there was family Of bro
theirs and sisters in the household of
Joseph in Nazareth. There is no good
reason for believing that there were not
younger children of Joseph and Mary.
"The theory that the Lords brothers and
sisters we're really the children of his
mother" says Farrar. "is no theory at
all, but an acceptance of what the Cos
pei seems to say"
And that it was this James, the bro
Their of Jesus, who wrote the Epistle
of James, the evidence Enthusiastically
points.
James did not..at first believe that his
older brother was the Messiah. He is
included among those of whom it is
said. Neither did has brethren believe IN
him John 7:5). James had shared with
his brother the humble home-life of a
carpenter in Nazareth. 1t was life of
purity and moral beauty. yet life of
poverty and obscurity. That one could
rise out of such visible limitations to be
the Messiah, to be King above all
kings, may we'll have appeared to the
youthful James morally impossible.
His brother was to him mystery; he
could not at this period believe in him
as one specially anointed of God.
But the public ministry of Jesus had
gradually brought conviction to all his
brothers. After the ascension of our
Lord we find his brethren with his mo
ther among his public followers (Acts 1;
14). And in the case of James one fact
stated by Paul has special significance
When Paul enumerated those who had
seen the Lord after his resurrection, and
had stated his appearance to above five
hundred brethren. he added, after thai
he teus seen of James Il Cor. 10: y
This appearance of the immortal jesus
to James was presumably the persona
and confidential interview that took
from the previously doubling brothe
the residuum of his misgiving.
The character OF James. the Lord!
brother, as preserved in credible tradi
tions. is one of commanding excel
lence. Heis spoken of as James the just
"a just man" says Farrar. twas one whC

INTRODUCTION.

The Gospel is always the same;
everywhere the same. 1t is unchang-
ing as truth. 1t is, 80 the Teacher de-
clared, more immovable than the stars;
it will last longer than the earth. 1t can
never pass away. And it was in the be-
ginning it is now. and ever shall be-
Yet distinction is to be made between
what the Gospel is in itself, and what it
is in its historic evolution. In success.
i've ages. and to different seers in each
age special aspects of the Gospel are be-
held and emphasized. When Jesus
walked visibly with his twelve, he was
the same to all; yet he was different to
each. Each saw in him what he was
capable Of seeing--In the New TeS-
lament the one Gospel is presented to
us in rich variety. In each of the four
Evangelists a picture is given of Jesus
in some points unlike that given by
either of the others. In Acts and the
Epistes we also find great diversity
within the Gospel unity. The Gospel
did not appear to be precisely the same
to John and Peter and Paul. Their Wis
ion was varied by their personal exper-
fences. They interpreted according to
their distinctive spiritual endowments.
The result for us is fortunate. We have
a composite revelation Of the One Life.
This diversity in unity makes the New
Testament book for the world and the
ages.--In our pres ent lesson we
see the Gospel in the unique interpreta.

CHILDREN'S DAY OBSERVED.
Lutheran Sunday School Presents a
Pretty Program.

The Lutheran church was filled yes
terday afternoon at 8 o'clock when
the Children's day exercises were
given by the Sunday school. The
floral decorations were abundant and
beautiful, the pulpit beinga mass Of
roses and vines with large arch lead
ing up to the alcove. The young
people were out in full force and very
excellently did they entertain the con-
gregation.
The title Of the service was "Happy
Jubilee" and it included an anthem
by the choir, prayer by the pastor,
many songs by the school, reading by
Supt. Wagner and the congregational
and antiphonal reading by two classes.
The primary department, Miss Hattie
Eicholtz teacher, gave very pretty
exercise entitled "The Song of the
Brook" and a song, "All the Way"
Rev. DR.. Haithcox conducted the
Scripture reading and at its close
baptized the three little daughters Of
supt. and Mrs. ]. H. Niesley, Mil
dred, Maude and Margaret. I. L.
Dewey read "Mother and Child" and
Mrs. Niesley and Miss Ellison sang a
duet that was greatly enjoyed. Miss
Grace Hornaday had recitation,

closed with singing. The offering
was large and the entire service a
creditable one to the school.

ABILENE THE VICTOR.
Manhattan Loses the Conclusive Game
This Weeks Work

The base ball game Saturday be-
tween Abilene and Manhattan was
witnessed by good sized crowd and
1t was the liveliest contest of the sea-
son. Each club had won two games
and this was the fifth and rubber. 1t
was not in many respects as good
playing as has been put up by the
home team on other occasions and
Manhattan with its crack battery,
Brophy and Renst, made a strong
fight. Augusta failed to get here to
throw for Abilene and the boys were
short on pitching qualities. Ya4f
Brunner pitched the opening inning
but was hit too freely. Bouldin then
threw except the Sth which Strother
handled though without success.
There were many costly errors on
both sides at critical points in the
game which ran up the score to high
figures. The only home run was by
Ashbrook Of Manhattan who sent the
ball over the east fence for the first
time in the parks history. At the
beginning Of the 9th Manhattan was
three ahead and the 'rootersn Of the
Abilene crowd did its best to encour-
age the home team to desperate
efforts, apparently with great success
for the boys rolled up four tallies,
saving the day amid great hilarity.
l.. G. Humbargar was umpire and
though he had many close decisions to
render they met with general salts
faction, Abilene can play much bet
ter ball than it did Saturday and de-
served to win by a larger margin than
1t did. The score was.

DEMAND HANNA's RESIGNATION
Populists Denounce the State Sena.
tors Actions.

The committee appointed to draw
up resolutions for the Populist CEN
tral committee in denunciation of
State Senator Hanna has sent the reso.
lutions to the papers. The resolu-
tions were adopted Saturday but they
were suppressed by some of Hanna's
friends for the Monitor to print. That
brave and manly sheet was however
afraid to print them so copies were
yesterday sent to other papers. The
resolutions are redhot material and
read as follows:
The Populist party stands pledged
by its platforms to the enactment Of
a maximum rate railroad law as a
measure for temporary relief pending
government ownership, and George
W. Hanna, in accepting the Aomina-
of the party for the senatorship and
an election at the hands Of Populists,
bound himself to do the will OF his
party. By his action in the senate in
opposition to a fair maximum rate
law he repudiated his obligation, set
himself against bis own people, de-
serted his colors, and joined himself
with the enemy in support of cor
poration measure
In the matter Of stock yards legis-
lation he, Senator Hanna, introduced
the bill which received the approval
of the stock yards corporation, and
persistently throughout the session
served that corporation and not his
own people. If the corporation did
not reward him well for his able SER
vices to it, then it abandoned the
usual corporation method and failed
to appreciate the great money value
Of his efforts in its behalf.
Senator Hanna Is one OF the few
Populist legislators who voted with
the Republicans in certain corporation
interests. If these corporations did a
corrupt business with these Populist
legislators it was in retail way. APP
parently the Republican legislators
with whom Hanna trained were dealt
with in the lump at wholesale, for
very few of them went contrary to
corporation interests on any bill be.
fore the legislature.
George W. Hanna has presumed to
repudiate the Populist platform and
it is right that the Populists should
repudiate him.
He has failed to rise above the CON-
mercial stage in politics and has con-
sorted with and befriended corpora
tions, which exist by the sutferance
of the people and fatten upon their
stealings from labor, and with their
ill-gotten gains purchase OF the peo-
pies representatives continuance of
their opportunity for plunder.
Therefore, the Populist county cen
tral committee of Dickinson county,
Kansas, denonnces said Senator
George W. Hanna, and declares that
he does not represent the Populists of
this county, and demands his resig-
nation as state senator from this dis
riot

SOME SPLENDID CATTLE,
G. A, Stannard's Herd Of Herefords
Is Unexcelled.

Among the young businessmen oI
Dickinson county who have come tc
the front is G. A. Stannard of Hope
whose herd of Herefords ranks among
the best in the nation. Mr. Stan
nard's fine farm is delight to the
eye of visitor and its belongings,
pretty residence, good barns and am
pie pastures and well-tilled fields are
as fine as anything in the state. Mr..
Stannard is one among the most pro-
gressive and reliable fine stock breed
ers in Kansas, or in any other state
for that matter. He owns very
large herd Of registered Herefords, at
the head Of which he has the Anxiety
bred bull, Stonemason 18th 42397,
sweepstakes bull over all breeds at
the Kansas state fair in 1896, assisted
by Kodak Of Rockland l073l, the
sweepstakes bull over all breeds at
the New York state fair in both 1895
and 1896, also the bull, Actor 50773,
Worlds Fair prize winner. These
two last named bulls we're doing SER
vice at the head OF the herds recently
bought by Mr.. Stannard, Of which
mention was made recently. With
these cattle he got several females Of
outstanding show yard character.
Among these are Lady Wilton Of
Brookside 42428, a six year-old COW
that, owing to her individual merit
and breeding qualities, is entitled to
be classed among the queens of the
breed. A grand, smooth, large, show
COW, full Of flesh and quality, is Miss
Josephine Of Brookside 56028 by Earl
of Shadeland oath 3O721. One Of the
grand, thick, meaty cows that will
never fail to attract attention is Ze-
nobia Of Brookside, also daughter Of
Earl Of Shadeland oath. Anyone
looking for two-year-old heifer will
find in Wilton's Pride Of Brookside
daughter Of Kodak Of Rockland) a
heifer that will fill the class up to No
vember 26, and do it with credit to
herself and owner. Mr.. Stannards
herd numbers about $50 head, and
with these latesadditions, is in shape
to compare fayorably with the best
herds Of the west. Such cattle are a
credit to Dickinson and Mr.. Stannard
deserves congratulation for bringing
them here as well as praise for his
financial success.
