MANILA'S sPEEDWAYS.
Sights to Be Seen Along the Santa
Lucia and Lunetta.

From tho Chicago Record.
The great show places of Manila are
the Santa Lucie and the Lunetta. These
drives run from the Pasig river, along
the sea front of the walled city, and
then out across the immense open pa
rade ground which separates the walls
of Manila from the suburbs Of Ermita.
They are practically one continuous
road, but the mile that fronts the city
walls is called the Lucia and the broad
er oval pirk-li!;c extension is the Lun-
eta. Rows of waving, stubby palm
trees mark the edges of the drives and
electric light poles line the borders
throughout their entire length. In the
old days these avenues were famous
for their beauty and display. 1t is
doubtful whether any other city in the
orient could rival them for brllianCe
and fashionable luxury.
1t is also doubtful whether another
drive exists which is so grim in tragic
memories as the beautiful Lunetta.
Hundreds of Filipinos have been exc
cuted there. In the mornings the
| crowds would throng the drives to see
the Filipinos shot and in the evening
| they would gather again 10 hear the
music at the bandstaCl. But the war
has stopped all of thar. The l.unetta

kept advancing closer and closer to

beyond that harricade of railroad iron
and sacks of earth. When the Amer

| DAYS before the proud Spaniards would
sLcv themselves. but now they are
a:ain venturing out beyond the walls
and the Santa Lucia Is rppuining some
| thing of its FORMER gayety.

streets OF the walled city and shows

oners of war also come out for
breathing spell. Carriages roll up

| the short length of the Lucia. Rows
of other vehicles are drawn ZIP along
| the edges, the occupants smoking and
| lazily watching the passing show.

Conference.-The act of Iehoia-
kim in burning the roll could not be
passed over in silence. He had at the
same time despised and rejected Je-
hovah. jeremiah was instructed there
fore to speak to the king concerning
himself. Before the prediction pertained
to the kingdom Verse 29), but now to
the ruler. A fearful retrbution await
ed him oversees so and 80. He should
be put to death, and his body should
be cast out, exposed to the glaring
suns heat by day and to the frost by
night precisely what jeremiah had
foretold of him der. xxi: 19), indcat-
ing the terrible character of the siege
by which Jerusalem would be reduced.
Furthermore, none of his posterity
should succeed him on the throne of
Judah. as had also been declared (Jer.
xii: 30). In short an ignomnious end
awaited him, as condemnation from
the Lord for his iniquty.
RESTORED.-Purs to the COM
mand of God just noticed the roll was
rewritten Cverse 32), a complete copy
taken down with care, to which were
added much other matter. probably of
an historic or religious character. What
became of the book? Some have
thnlnht n hNy
miah, as part of the literature avail
able in the companies of the prophets
Some have thought that it was laid
up, as the first book was, in the custody
of Elishama, to become thus a section
in the sacred writings held by the
priests. But we are not informed of
its disposition. A more important ques-
tion is, OF what value was it? First,
it was an abiding proof that the King
was impotent in attempting to oppose
the Almighty. Second, it proved that
the word of the Lord endured I Peter
/: 25). Third, for the time it served a
high purpose as a witness against the
nation and the king. Finally, it was
afterward, when the captivity came, a
proof that God had been faithful with
His people OI Chron. XXXvi: 15).
REFLECTIONS.-T points are Of
special interest in this lesson. First,
There are degrees of guilt among the
ungodly, and condemnation will be pro-
portioned. Some arrive quickly at the
height of impiety and presumption.
Many act as if their outrages against
the word of God could save them from
its denunciations, or as if their IRA
tional infdelity could invalidate and
render the sacred oracles of none effect
Such persons should be openly opposed
whatever their station or abilities. Sec
ono, The Lord will protect those who
are valiant for His truth until they
have finished their testimony" and
then it is Of small consequence by what
| method they are removed to their re-
| ward. They may therefore with much
| boldness and patience continue their
| good work, for God will honor those
| who honor Him. and in His own time
| He will bring to pass His glory through
| them, so that in the end il shall appear,
! that, though prosecuted, they have not
] lived in vain dan. xii: 13).

jeremiah, an expression OF an obsti-
nate resolution to continue his course.
Perhaps he hoped to nullify the word
of God by destroying 1T. or at least to
prevent any further spread of the It'd.
ings contained in Il. All this displayed
the cnmity of his mind, the depravity
Of his heart, the pcrversity OF his Will.
The act of the king was the more cul-
pable because he had heard from the
same source similar predictions OF
Gods judgments, many Of which had
already been fulfilled. His state OF

the time was proof tndt the evil fore
