International Sunday Sch ,ol Lesson TO,
Nov. 6, 1898. Hezekiah's Great Pass.
over. 2 Chron. 3O:1.13. Read the
whole chapter. Golden Text yield
yourselves unto the Lord, and enter
into His Sanctuary" Chron. 30:8.
King Hezekiah sent to all Israel and
Judah, and wrote letters 10 the tribes
of Ephraim and Manasseh also, that
they should come to the house of the
Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the passover
unto the Lord God of Israel.
This passover feast had been. COM
manded by the God of Israel, 765 years
before, to be observed forever, but His
people had forsaken Him and discon-
tinued 1t. On that memorable night in
Egypt, when the lamb was slain aud its
blood put on the door post of every be-
liever's house, making such house alb
solutely secure from death. by the
pledged word of the Lord, no matter
what was the experience or life of the
inmates; the lamb was then to be eaten
in joy and thanksgiving by the same
word of their Lord, forgetting them
selves, and remembering only His
mercy.
And now Hezekiah reminds his king
dom that "they had not done it for a
lorg time in such sort as it was writ
ten." So the posts went with the let
ters commanding the people to "turn
again unto the Lord God Of Abraham,
Isaac and Israel, and He will return to
the remnant of you." They were re-
minded that "The Lord is merciful and
gracious, slow to anger and plenteous
in mercy. He hath not dealt with us
after our sins; nor rewarded us accord
ing to our iniquities e. Like as a
father pitieth his children, so the Lord
pitieth them that fear Him."
So the posts passed from city to city
through the whole land, but the people
laughed them to scorn and mocked
them. Nevertheless some of the people
of three tribes humbled themselv and
came to Jerusalem, and in Judah God
gave them one heart to obey this COM
mand, and very great congregation
assembled in the holy city to keep this
joyful feast.
And Hezekiah prayed, "The good
Lord pardon every one that prepareth
his heart to seek God. And the Lord
hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the
people," And the children of Israel
kept the feast seven days with great
gladness and praise, and the king spake
comfortably to the people and taught
the good knowledge of the Lord, and
they made confession to the Lord God
their fathers. They not only rejoiced
but they purified their lives and were
saved, and their prayer came up to Him
hoty dwelling place even unto Heaven.
Read in Zecheriah 14:16 of the time
when the whole world shall come up to
Jerusalem to keep this joyous passover
feast, when "the Lord shall be King
over all the earth; in that day shall
there be one Lord and His name one."
"Christ our passover is sacrificed for

He was not lad to meddle in other
peoples personal affairs, but certain
circumstances, among them the fact
that both had arrived in the morning
in good humor, seemed to connecttheir
bad temper with something that con-
cerned the bank.
After supper Larry went to the the
ater, but the play was not very inter-
esting one, and he found his mind con-
stantly reverting to what had occurred
during the day. Before the final GER
tain fell, he had arrived at the conclu-
sion that the medium of disturbance
was the morning newspaper. On his
way he me he procured copy of the
daily taken at the bank, and reaching
his room, he sat down and eagerly
scanned its pages. 1t was not long be-

- OF the fused factions of Democracy, Populls1n
and discomfort, it is evident the Hon RusseH
/ J. Waters is making winning contest for Congress
in the Sixth District. The very desperation OF his
opponents evidence that the trend OF public SEN
timent is strongly in his favor.
Mr. Waters is one OF the most eminent OF the pro-
gressive men who during the last twelve years have
done so much for the upbuiding of Southern Cator-
MIA and the development of its resources Born IN
Vermont in I843, he removed first to Massachusetts,
then to Chicago, and finally in 1886 came to Cali
forna.
From the time of his arrival in the State he has
been leader in great enterprises AS the representa-
tive OF number of citizens of Chicago who desired
to establish themselves in California, he selected and
laid out site for the colony in East Redands, where
most of the colonists now reside Having in this way
become identified with the progress OF the southern
part OF the State he has continued promote its in
terests with energy and sagacity. He is at present
resident OF Los Angeles, and is known among the en-
terprsing men Of that city of the most public
spirited and liberal in promoting every movement de-
signed for the general good.
California needs at Washington just such men as
Mr. Waters The State has many great interests in
volved in national legislation, for whose proper
agenent men of trained business ability, tireess
energy and jealous fidelity to the public welfare are
required The citizen who in the advancement OF his
private business has accomplished so much to de-
velop his section of the State be relied upon to
give an equally valuable service in Congress, and with
the election of Mr.. Waters the Sixth District will
have representative to be proud of.
1t is not however, for his personal reputation only
that the popular sentiment OF the district is favorable to
the Republican candidate The intelligence of the peo-
pie there as elsewhere perceves the importance OF hav
ing at this juncure Congress in harmony with the adj
ministraton The President will have grave problems

below the average editorials appearing in

think the young man who refused to
