THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Lesson in the international SERIES
for Decembex -, 19O1-SOme
Christmas Thoughts

GOLDEN FExT.-FOr unto you 81
born this day in the city Of David =
SaviOars-Luke 2:11.
Lesson Text.-Isaiah 9:1-7- At the
time of this prophecy, Jerusalem
was threatened with attack by the
combined forces of Pekah, king OF
Israel, and Rein, king of Damascus.
Isaiah tries to strengthen the timid
Ahaz, king of Judah, by pointing him
to God as a sufficient helper. 1t IS IN
this endeavor that we have this por-
trait of the Messianic King.
The king of Judah, Ahaz, was
weak, timid and wicked. When Rein,
king of Damascus; and Pekah, king
of Israel, combined against him, he
was at complete loss how to meet
their attack. He tried every scheme
he could think of except a hearty re-
pentance and return to the service OF
God. The people as whole took the
same attitude, and the passage be-
fore US opens in S:19 with rebuke
of those who sought guidance and
deliverance from the spirits of the
dead instead of from God, who had
given the law and provided the tes-
timony of His prophets for that pur-
pose. Because of the peoples re-
fusaI to turn to God they must pass
through time of darkness and
anguish in which they find no relief.
From a weakened remnant, dimin-
ished by foreign foes, the nation
would again begin to increase rapid
| ly under Gods blessing, and would
rejoice in such prosperity as is be-
tokened by bountiful harvests and
such security as is indicated by the
division of an enemy's spoil. The joy
and security predicted are to come
through personal Deliverer of whom
Isaiah goes on to speak.
''Prince of Peace indicates the
blessedness which pervades the king
dom over which the Coming One
| should be ruler.

THE PASSAGE OF THE RED SEA.
GOLDEN TENT will sing unto the
Lord, for He hath triumphed giOri-
OusIy.-Ex. 1871.
This is one of the greatest events in
history, although the important les
son involved will, perhaps necessarily,
be more or less crowded by the fes-
tivities so closely following this date.
The international committee provided
an alternative lesson las given
-above), but it will hardly be wise to
omit altogether a lesson so impor-
tant. The passage assigned for study
is Exodus 14:13-27. Read the whole
story up to and including Exodus
of Scripture follows:
The pillar of fire, Elk. 13:17-22
The pursuit, Elk. 14:1-12
p Passage of the Red sea. Elk. 14:1S-n
Moses song, Elk. 15:1-21.
The Pillar of Fire.-A journey of
ESQ miles, would bring the Hebrews
to Hebron, if they went by the most
direct route, but in that case they
would have no opportunity for or
ganizing a nation, and would almost
Immediately be forced to make a way
for themselves by fighting. The jour
ney actually made was much longer
and rougher, but more useful to the
development of the people than the
other would have been. The visible
sign of Gods guiding presence was
| proba bly, more like a torch than like
the great mass so often seen in pic
lures. Torches, appearing smoky by
day and fiery by night, have often
been used as standards.
started first for the Isthmus of Suez,
and then turned back to the shallow
est part of the Red sea. 1t is gen
orally believed that the place where
the crossing was made is now land,
being a little south of the Bitter
lakes. This movement brought the
Hebrews within the reach of Pharaoh,
and it looked to the people, and per-
haps to Moses, as though a grievous
mistake had been made. But if they
had gone directly on they could not
have escaped the Egyptians, who
would certainly have overtaken them
within two or three days.
Passage of the Sea.-Conditions
have so changed about the Red sea
that it is impossible to say just how
the Israelites were placed. It is GER
tain, however, that the situation
seemed so serious, as the Egyptians
were close behind and the sea in
front. The complaint of the Israeli
ties was not unnatural, and obedience
to the command of 14:15 required
great faith. The presence of God be-
tween the Egyptians and the Israel
ties prevented the night attack, which
would have been easy and overwhelm-
ing. The clearing of path through
the sea was not a miracle in the
strict sense of that word, because it
was brought about by known natural
causes. The shape of the sea, the tide,
the strong wind blowing diagonally
across the shallow place beside which
the Israelites had encamped, COM
bined to make passage through the
sea. Similar combinations had be-
fore produced the same results, and
the same thing happened afterwards.
But that it should happen just when
Israel needed deliverance, and that
Israel should be just at the spot
where a path might thus be opened,
was one of those combinations which
point Enthusiastically to Divine power.
and Divine plan.

EARTH WRAPPED
 IN WHITE MANTLE First Snow of the Season Be-
 gan Falling Yesterday CARS WERE RUN ALL NIGHT Was Still Showing at 2:3o O'Clock This Morning-The Entire South
 Gets a Touch of Genuine Winter Weather.
CARS WERE RUN ALL NIGHT

The first snow of the season began fall ing yesterday afternoon about 3:30 o'clock and at 2:30 o'clock this morning the ground was covered to the depth of sev- eral inches At that hour there was still light fall, with indications that it would continue until morning.
 At first the fall was light and the flakes melted as soon as they touched the earth, but 1t kept up incesantly during the afternoon and soon after nightfall began to stick. From until F o'clock the fall was heavy, and the earth soon took on her mantle" The sky was overcast and amateur astronomers, prog nostlcated veritable snowstorm.
 As soon as the snow began to pile up the Birmingham Electric, Light and Power Company began the work of keep ing Its tracks open, and men were set to work in drifts to keep the snow from banking on the tracks. Orders were given to keep the cars running all night, and regular trips were made on every line quite a number of cars being kept in service.
 The snow was hailed with delight by the small boy, and in fact by older folk as well, and if the fall continues through the night sleighing will be in order this morning.

ENGLAND WILL NOT RAT|FY THE TREATY Cabinet Holds Meeting and discusses the Nicaragua
 Canal Matter

London, February 22.-In spite of the secrecy with which, as is usual, the de- Alterations of the cabinet are guarded the Associated Press is able to assert that one of the subjects under discussion at todays meeting was a dispatch from Lord Pauncefote, which, it is under stood, deals with the probable attitude of the United Saates towards Great Britains counter proposals In the Nica- ragua matter. Ambassador Choate will probably be summoned to the foreign of flee next Monday, when Lord Lansdowne is likely to communicate to him the British views regarding the Nicaragua and China controversies.
 Great Britain has no intention of rati- flying the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in the form desired by the Senate unless her counter proposals are agreed to within the short time that remains before that treaty 1apses, and this is recognized to be almost impossible.

NOTHING EQUALS IT
For the Cure of catarrb.

A physician now retired from practice. but who still keeps abreast of the times, in speaking of the advance made in medi cine In the last ten years says: "One of the most obstinate and baffling diseases Is the very common trouble catarrh."
 Nasal catarrh is only one of it's many forms: catarrh of the throat, catarrh of the stomach. bowels, liver and bladder are very common, but the sufferer usu- ally thinks 1t Is something else than ca tarrh, and Is treated for the wrong dis case.
 The best and most successful treat ment for any form of catarrh Is now ad- mitted to be by internal remedies through the stomach, and the safest and prob ably the most efficient is in the tablet form, sold by druggists as Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets.
 I have seen many remarkable cures of catarrh resulting from regular daily use of these tablets. which seem to act on the blood and liver. driving the catarrhal poison out of the system through the natural channels.
 I once had occasion to analyze these tablets and found them to contain no CO., caine nor opiates. but simply a combina- tion of harmless antiseptics like Eucalyp- tai. Guaiacol. blood root, etc.
 At any rate, I have known of severe catarrhal headaches which were cured by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and ca- tarrhal deafness hay fever. asthma and catarrh of the throat and stomach speed fly show great benefit after a few days use of the remedy: and when it Is re- membered how much more convenient tablet Is than inhalers. douches, salves and powders 1t is not surprising that this new preparation should so rapidly SUD- plant all other remedies for catarrh.

trophe happened, and who Is responsible for it. Captain Ward is dead and be- tween him and the pilot the ship was steered to her doom
 The pilots story Is to the effect that after the ship had entered the heads and the fog enveloped her. he notified the captain that 1t was unsafe to proceed, but the latter ordered him to go ahead and the order was obeyed. And therein the pilot confesses himself at fault for, from the moment the ship was taken in hand by him his authority in all matters pertaining to her navigation was su- preme. and he was responsible for her safety and the lives of the people aboard her.
 Conduct of the Crew.
 There is also conflicting statements as to conduct of the officers and crew. Some say that the officers and sailors were cool and conscientiously endeavoring to get out the boats and save as many pas- sengers as possible, while others declare that as soon as the seriousness of the situation became apparent there was an end to discipline among the Seamen, and that 1t was "every man for himself" Captain Wards voice was heard above the din occasoned by screaming women and bowling Chinese, ordering his men Io odNt tHe WOfuen.
 Tn the launching of the boats, it is said that confusion prevailed and one load of passengers and sailors was dumped into the sea The first boat that got a ,5ay carried several of the ships officers. An other boat was impaled upon a spar as the men abandoned it were trying to row 1t away from the suction caused by the sinking vessel. Four boats altogether were cleared from the davits but so far as can be learned only one of them got safely away and landed it's passengers. The Italian fishermen rescured the oth- CTS.
 The wreck lies about three-fourths of mile south of Fort Point and about a thousand yards off the rocky shore,

New York, February 22.- The jury in the second trial of Dr. Samuel J. Ken nedy, under indictment for the murder of Dolly Reynolds, today disagreed and the accused man Is again in the Tombs. The foreman said in court:
 T can speak for myself only. I am un- able to speak for the others. I cannot be persuaded from my position"
 The foreman's statement was taken as bearing out rumors that the jury had eleven for acquittal and one for convic- tion.

GOVERNOR ODELL
May Remove Mayor Van Wyck From
 Office.

Albeny, N. r., February 22.-It is stated tonight that Governor Odell vii either take steps looking to the removal of May or Val. Wyck of New York from office next Monday or send an emergency mes sage to the Legislature urging the pas- sage of the state constabulary bill. One of these things the Governor is expected to do because of the fact that Mayor Van Wyck, in his appointment of Col Michael c. Murphy as police commission CT of New York has apparently ac- quiescod in the selection of former Chief Devery as deputy commissioner.
 Governor Odell, it Is said, will go to New York City tomorrow morning and will arrange for consultation with Sem ator I'latt and other leaders regarding the police situation in New York City. It is thought likely that the Governor will not proceed to extreme measures in the matter of the removal of Mayor Van Wyck, if the results which he desires can be reached in any other way.
