HUMAN RESISTANCE TO HEAT.

People recovering from one or the other
of the heat waves of summer may be
shocked to know that while the official
mercury reached 102 degrees it is quite
possible for the human system to tone
itself UP to withstand 600 degrees Of
heat. Nowhere on the earth's surface
does solar heat begin to approach mans
capacity for resistance, and in spite of
the laws or physics the blacker the man
the more heat he can stand. No animal
can withstand such extremes Of heat and
cold as man.

ical law. We are soul united to body
and by the union able to develop spirit
life in highest moral nature Of love. We
may come to know God in His world, to
think, feel and do as He does.
We become the children of God through
the work of the Holy Spirit. By the
Spirit we are born again-changed in ouS
natures and made in the likeness of the
divine nature-and when thus changed
we are adopted into the family of God:
hence the Spirit is called the Spirit of
Adoption" And as a result of this
adoption we no longer fear God, but adj
dress Him in confidence and love as
abba, Father"
WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD.
The Epworth league theme for Dec.
1 is found in Romans viii ALI. This
glorious chapter by Paul deals with the
security of those who seek and believe in
the gospel teachings. AS many as are
led by the Spirit of God, they are the
sons of Cod Being the children Of
God, we are sure of eternal life, for we
are "heirs of God and joint heirs with
Christ" and eternal life is one Of aSe
priceless inheritances which the chilc1en
of God shall enjoy in common with
Jesus Christ.
The glorious fact that believers in
Christ are the children of God is album
dainty proved: l. The Scriptures testi-
fly to it. 2. We are conscious of 1t our
dren toward parent-of reverence, of
confidence and of love-toward God
we know that we are the children of
God. 8. The Holy Spirit testifies to this
ness with our spirit that we are the
children of God In some way though
We do not know how, the Holy Spirit
beareth witness with" or corroborates
the testimony of our own feelings that
we are the children of God
The Holy Spirit is the power of God,
working not in spiritual nature. but
operating in mans spiritual nature,
awakening to exercise all it's powers, as
in the other realm the individual is
in birth brought into separate existence
and activity. Spiritual birth is the be-
ginning of conscious preference of good
over evil. 1t is the choice of the leader
ship of the Spirit Of God and the SUBJ
ordination of all powers and appetites of
body and soul to the ideas of right. duty
and truth.
The general results of divine sonship
are that we. q possess the nature or
objects of His love and favor and C3)
are heirs of God These are priceless
prerogatives, but they carry with them
great responsibilities. The child of a
king has the name and the honor Of
king to sustain. This is even more
true as applied to the children of God.
BY word or deed we honor Or dishonor
the heavenly King, whose children we
are How important 1t is, considering
our exalted positions that we Should
know thoroughly the duties as we'll as
the privileges of divine sonship and.
knowing them, should perform them.
We sing of a wonderful city
Where never mortal has trod:
It's walls and its gates are of Jasper:
It's builder and maker is God
There sickness, temptation and sorrow
No longer the spirit shall grieve.

and is more due to the success of the
Jews in business than to religious scru-
pies, but of course it has it's base in
religious fanaticism. The Jews of Ser
via, Mr.. Curtis tells us, are not allowed
to hold office. although there is no legal
prohibition. and are often hooted at in
the streets. In regular business trans
actions the keen rivalry of the Jews is
exasperating to their Christian COM
petitors, and their commercial enter
prise in all directions has interfered
considerably with the prosperity of the
natives. In the mercantile trade they
have the best shops and undersell the
Christians: in brokerage and the COM
mission business they show shrewd-
ness and prudence which enable them
to make money while others lose, and
they have thus acquired wealth and
commercial influence which make them
objects of envy. Il have not heard"
says Mr.. Curtis, ANY Christian say n
good word of a Jew in Servia, but at
the same time l have not been able to
discover an instance in which a mem
Der of that race has failed to fulfill his
contracts or has asked more than his
due" The success of the Jews in bus
mess creates the bitterness. The perse-
cution of the Jews in the neighboring
country of Roumania, where they form
large portion of the population, is
becoming desperate. There the re-
strictions of the middle ages are still in
force. Jewish children are not allowed
to attend the public schools: Jewish
students are not admitted To the tech
meal schools or the university; Jew
ish operatives cannot be employed in
manufacturing Establishments: the
Jews are prohibited from practicing
professions and engaging in certain
kinds of commercial business; the OBJ
ject being to drive them out of the
country. All this is in violation of the
provisions of the treaty of Berlin, by
which the kingdom of Roumania re-
ceived the protection of the great pow
ers, but it is useless for the Jews to
appeal, because they cannot get hear
ing.

Washington dispatches are positive
in stating that Senator Quay's health is
SO precarious that he has decided to re-
sign his seat in the senate. Quay is one
of the old guard of republican leaders,
and his retirement from political life
will leave a gap too large to be filed
by any Pennsylvania politician now Oh

man now in public life has been so
savagely abused by the democratic
press. and. unfortunately for him, the
country for a long time accepted at

reams of paper trying to explain the
secret of Quay's wonderful hold on his
constituents and on the party as a
whole, but it is exceedingly simple. He
was never known to lie to anybody: he
has always been true as steel to his

The range stockmen of Arizona
should be alive to the menace for their


should be alive to the menace for their
interests which is found
MEANCE TO in the project to enact
ARIZONA the proposed leasing
STOCKMEN. law at this session of
congress. AS explained
in these columns the other day, the
danger lies in the terms of the bills
proposed. and not in the leasing sys-
tenn itself. Undoubtedly a great ma
jority of men holding cattle on the pub
lie domain are favorable to the alb
stract proposition of leasing the ranges.
An equitable measure would protect
their interests by assuring to each
range n definite boundary free from
encroachment, and would thus give
added stability to the live stock indus
try, while yielding a handsome revenue
in rentals.
Bills providing for leasing the graz
ing lands have been introduced by Rep
resentatives Stephens of Texas and
Bowersock of Kansas. which are very
similar in terms. and one or the other
will be pushed by the strong lobby
which is interested in securing leas-
ing law. But the evil in both bills is
that they provide for minimum rental
of two cents per acre. 1t is quite evil
dent that the bills have been drawn in
ignorance of the conditions in the arid
regions. and that the members of the
National Live Stock association who
are advocating them are not acquainted
with Arizona ranges. at least.
Two cents an acre yearly would
simply drive the cattlemen of Arizona
out of business. 1t is safe to say that
there is not n range north of the
Southern Pacific which could afford to
pay such n rental. There are ranges
covering areas of 10000 to $4,000 acres
each. upon which 5000 head of cattle
would tax the minimum capacity in or
binary years. To be sure, for a few
months in the year such ranges may
have feed for many thousand head ad-
ditional. But only the dry months of
the year can be taken for a basis. and
as everybody in Arizona knows, there
are months at time when there is no
grass at all. The cattle live, and-if
the range is not overstocked-thrive on
the brush and underground. The OPP
orators on such ranges might be able
to pay a quarter of a cent per acre in
rental annually, but that would be the
maximum for a great many.
y two-cent rental would effectually
clear the greater portion of Arizona
ranges. and would destroy the cattle
business and eliminate range cattle
from the tax rolls.
The stockmen of the territory should
take immediate steps to lay all the
facts before congress. The bills in
congress constitute the greatest danger
to the live stock industry that has ever
been confronted. As suggested by this
paper the other day, the bills, if passed
at all. should provide for a rental to
be fixed by the secretary OF the interior
after careful investigation; or, the
ideal provision would be for a commits
sion within the territory to fix the
rental price on each range.
The men who are pushing the leasing
h'''s should be made to understand
ii i there is radical difference be-
II zen the grassy plains of Western
7 tas, Kansas. Nebraska, Colorado.
and other western states and the arid
ranges of Arizona.
