INFLUENCE OF
DIVINE TRUTH
Rev. g. l. Pearson of the
Methodist Episcopal Church
Speaks On it

At the Methodist Episcopal Church,
the pastors theme last evening was THE
Influence of Divine Truth on National
Character" The text was Deut. iv:5, g.
The following is a brief outline of the
sermon:
The giving of the law on Mt Sinai WIS
an impressive scene. II led the Jews 10
accept the revelation, believing as they
did that God was on the Mount and that
He there gave Moses the law. This was
an important occasion, a monentous
time. 1t marked new era for man and
the gravity of il has not yet faded from
the earth. No essential truth. no prin-
ciple, was put away by the new revela-
ton of God by Jesus Christ
BY the influence of these truths upon
them the Jews became a wise and I'M
defstandlng people, an honor among the
nations, and a m ghty factor for Tigbt-
eousness on earth. The Divine ReyeIa-
ton AFFECTS the character of men and ma
IONS as an educational factor 1t
ffSSacHes Dasic truths-man's relations to
iilin ara eternity, to man ana to God;
To sin and to holiness Paul declared
mat ne had d. not known sin had not the
law said, Thou shat not covet" The
Jaw was TO Inn schO0lmaster to lead
HIM to Christ
The Law of God. touching as it does
az a., t''S great principles Of he, reveals to
man MS duty ana privileges and thus
leads to a purer and nobier life. Some
without giving the subject due consider
alton say that people can not be made
better by law. Evidently God d:d not
so think, and the history of human leg
lslatlon shows the contrary. Just laws
are an educ ating force which help the
people TO higher levels of life
The laws of God, beng PERFECTLY adapt-
eq 70 man needs and having the power
OF truth. are great force in the trans
formation of character The spread Of
truth among the people of a nation pro-
duces higher moral life. 1t sets the
right moral standard, condemns n and
incllnes man to righteousness II Sc
cures q greater and more permanent civ
peace by restoring men to right relat .ons
20 one another. 1t creates larger de-
gree OF happiness by putting away the
e ,s pIactlces which are the prolific source
OF most sorrow, and il leads to the con-
version of the souls of men transform
ing them into the likeness Of Christ.
mus II makes a wise and understands
ing, people and inspires to the noblest
ana most useful living. An appeal to the
nations OF today will show that those
having the guidance, the power, the in
s Spa OF an open Bible, illustrate the
character. 'ioiai

JOUBERT DEAD.

The death Of General Pet Jou-
bert at Pretoria on Tuesday even
ing of last week was the most severe
blow the Boer army and the cause
of the South African Republics have
received since the surrender, of
Cronje and his ZOO brave followers
several weeks ago.
Joubert's death resulted from an
illness lasting several months. 1t
came at the beginning of what will
probably be a decisive campaign,
and the Beers could i'll afford to
spare him. He is military tacti-
clan of the boldest kind and a ma
tural strategist with few equals,
two traits probably inherited from
his French Huguenot ancestors who
sailed from Holland to South Africa
something over 200 years ago.
His plans for a last desperate
stand against Roberts and his su
perior army will probably be car
ried out by his successor, but with
Joubert missing the soldiers are
unlikely to manifest that enthusiasm
that would be manifested with Jou-
bert present.
The Beers are likely to capture
Mafeking, where Baden Powell S
men are holding out against big
odds; they are preparing to fight at
Kroonstad, and are gathering in the
Drakensburg passes to keep Butler

GEMS FROM DAVIS.

Senator Davis speech in the SEN
ate of the United States, on Wednes-
day of last week, in favor Of free
trade between the United States
and our nearby territory of Puerto
Rico, has attracted, and is still
attracting general attention all over
the United States, by people who
love fair play. Some excerpts from
the speech are given:
It cannot be denied, Mr.. Presl-
dent, that from the time this bill was
reported elsewhere there be-
gan rising tide of public
opinion and dissent from the
very principle upon which it is
based That dissent began with
surprise; it progressed to remon-
STRANGE, and from there it went to in
dignation. It was not the protest
of members of any party.
If there is any reason whatever to
impose tariff upon the products of
Puerto Rico, there was the same
reason for imposing a tariff on
Hawaii. Wherein lies the differ
ence? Wherein on principle-both
of them being outlying possessions
of the United States, call them what
you willis the situation as to
Puerto Rico different from that of
Hawaii?
Mr.. President, think [ could be
firm as'anybody against sudden,
conclusive, transitory public opin-
ion; but when the opinion of the
public, whose servants we are,
speaking through every organ of
expression, week after week, and
swelling in intensity O. volume and
Indignation, speaks with intelli-
gence to us, it will be we'll for us to
hear it, for it will make itself
heard.
| Mr.. President. what will the good
people of this country say, and
what are they saying, and what
have they right to say, under the
bill of the house as it is presented
in the body of the bill for the civil
government of Puerto Rico they say.
Free rum, but tax the -four out of
| w lllCIl Is llltillc GLlc UItdU llItt people
elt.
They say free rum, but tax their
clothing.
They say free rum, but tax their
boots and shoes.
They say free rum. but tax the
medicines which minister to the
sick.
In my judgment, the only course
that can be logically or wisely pur-
sued under present conditions is to
abandon this pernicious mockery of
a tariff between Puerto Rico and the
United States and return to the path
of plain duty and pursue it to its
logical and beneficial consequences.
