THE WORKING OF FATE.
How IL Affected the Careers OF Me-
KInley and Roosevelt.


KInIey aud Roosevelt.
Fate is peculiar. 1t knows better
than we do what is best for us. 1t
fixes our destiny without our knowl-
edge, and often against our will, says
Leslie's Weekly. William McKinley's
most vigorous battle was his contest
for the speakership with Thomas b.
Reed. in 1890, which Reed won. Ac-
,cording to custom, Mr. Reed made his
distinguished opponent chairman OF
the ways and means committee, and
thus it was that the protective tarin
measure drafted by that committee,
largely through the influence of Mr..
Mckinley, came TO be popularity known
as 1.-The Mckinley bill" This made
Mckinley the champion OF the work.
ing masses, the candidate of his party
for president. and finally gave him
triumphant election and reelection for
the Office OF chief magistrate. AT the
Republican national convention at
Philadelphia, little over year ago,
the party leaders of New York insisted
that Governor Roosevelt must accept
the tender of the vice presidency. He
resolutely declined, insisting that he
was entitled to reelection to the gov
ernorship. The party leaders of New
York, aided by those of Pennsylvania
and several other states, forced the
nomination of Roosevelt, and then
compelled his reluctant acceptance.
Scarcely six months have elapsed since
his Inauguration, and he is now the
president of the United States, with
nearly q full term to serve. This Is
destiny, and who shall say that the
Fates are always unkind?

But there is one star that affects us

A Circus Tragedy.

Grimes Of n Mexican.

Rafael Pohando, wealthy ranch
man, who is we'll known on the Rio
Grande frontier, Mexico, killed one OF
his servants few days ago. The au-
thorities while investigating this crime
discovered the bodies of fourteen
other men in an old we'll on the ranch
and all bore marks of having been
murdered. The murdered men were
formerly employed on the ranch, and
all disappeared suddenly.

The wife's Influence.

Not sufficiently do we recognize the
sweet influence of the wife, We men
are of rougher mold, and our voice is
loud. and our manners need to be
tanned, and gentleness is not as much
of a characteristic as 1t ought to be,
and we often say things we ought to
take back. II is to change this that
the good wife comes in. The interests
of the twain are identical. That which
from outsiders would be. considered
criticism and to be resented becomes
kindly suggestion, sweet influences
that make us better men than We
otherwise would have been or could
have been.
The last chapter of Proverbs recog-
nizes the good wife's influence when 1t
says, Her husband is known in the
gates when he stitch among the elders
Of the land''-that is, his apparel
indicates that he has some one to look
after his wardrobe, and his manners
show that he is under refining infiu-
ences at home. But no one fully APP
preciates the sweet influences of the
wife until the dark day comes and the
slight symptoms become serious and
the serious phases of the disorder pass
into the fatal and the temperature is
LOG and mental ingenuity is exhausted

which means there is no hope at all,
and the precious life fiutters and is
| gone and Won must nut out of sight

the vow amid the orange blossoms
under the marriage bell had been to

Then you realize as never before what

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF RELIGION LAST
SUNDAYS SUBJECT.
From Job XXxVIII as Follows; "Canst
Thou Bind the Most Influences OF the
PIeiades's---Ghe Meaning of the Pas
sage Clearly Defined.

downright, 1901, by Louis Klopsch N. VI
Washington, Oct. 27.-ln this dis
course DR.. Talmage demonstrates that
we are affected by forces that we sell
dom recognize and enlarges upon hu-
man accountability; the text is JOB
xxxviii, 81, "Canst thou bind the sweet
influences of Pleiades?"
What is the meaning of that question
that God put to Job? Have we all our
lives been reading it and are most Oh
us ignorant of its beauty and power
and practical suggestiveness? mean
ingless passage Of Scripture many
thought it to be. But the telescopes
were busy age after age and astronom-
ical observations kept on questioning
the skies until the meaning of my text
comes out lustrously. The Pleiades is
a constellation of seven stars appear
ing to the naked eye, but scientific IN
struments reveal more than 400 prop
erly belonging to the group. Alcyone
is the name of the brightest star OF
that group called the Pleiades. Rus
sian astronomer observed that Alcyone
is the center of gravitation OF our solar
system. Hugh Macmillan says that the
sun and its planets wheel around that
center at the rate of 422, 900 miles day
in an orbit which it will take 100000
years to complete. The Pleiades ap-
pear in the springtime and are asso-
ciated with flowers and genial warmth
and good weather. The navigation OF
the Mediterranean was from May to
November-the rising and the setting
of the Pleiades. The priests OF Belus
noticed that rising and setting 1000
years before Christ
Now, the glorious meaning of my
! text is plain as we'll as radiant. To
! give JOB the beautiful grace of humil-
! ity God asked him, "Canst thou bind
the sweet influences of the Pleiades?'
Have you any power over the laws OF
gravitation? Can you modify or change
an influence welded by a star more
than 100000 miles away? Can you con-
troll the winds of the springtime? Can
you call out the flowers? How little
you know compared with omniscience!
How little you can do compared with
omnipotence!

Sweet Influence from Afar.

Astronomers can easily locate the
Pleiades. They will take you into their
observatories on a clear night and aim
their revealing instruments toward the
part in the heavens where those seven
stars have their habitude, and they
will point to the constellation Taurus,
and you can see for yourself. But it
is impossible to point to influences far
back that have affected our character
and will affect our destiny. We know
the influences near by-paternal, ma
ternal. conjugal-but by the time we
have gone back two generations or at
most three our Investigations falter
and fail. Through the modern interest
ing habit of searching back to find the
ancestral tree we may find a long list
of names, but they are only names. The
conservation or abandonment of some
one 200 years ago was not recorded.
1t would not be so important If you
and l by our good or bad behavior
blessed or blasted only those imme-
diately around us but our goodness or
our badness will reach as far as the
strongest ray of Alcyone-yea, across
the eternities. Under this considera-
ton what do you think of those who
give themselves up to frivolity or idle
ness and throw away fifty years OF
their existence as though they were
shells or pebbles or pods instead OF
embryo eternities?

Armed with Interrogations.


Called upon, as we all are at times,
to defend our holy religion, instead of
argument that can always be answered
by argument let us try the power of
interrogation. We ought to be loaded
with at least half a dozen questions,
and always ready, and when Chris
tianity is assaulted and we are told there
is nothing in Il, and there is no God,
and there never was a miracle, and
that the Scriptures are unreasonable
and cruel, and that there never will be
a judgment day, take out of your port
able armory of interrogation some
thing like this: What makes the con-
dition of woman in Christian lands
better than in heather lands? Do you
think it would be kind in God to turn
the human race into a world without
any written revelation to explain and
encourage and elevate and save? And
if a revelation was made which do you
prefer, the ZendaVesta of the Persian
or the Confucian writings of the Chi
nese or the Koran of Mohammed or
our Bible? If Christ is not a divine
being what did he mean when he said,
Before Abram was l am?" If the
Bible is a bad book, where are the evil
results of reading it? Did you see any
degrading influence of the book in your
father or mother or sister, who used
to read it? Do you not think that a
judgment day is necessary in order to
explain and fix UP things that were
never explained or fixed up? If our
religion is illogical and an imposition
upon human credulity, why were
Herschel and Washington and Glad
stone and William Mckinley its adj
vocates? How did it happen that our
religion furnished the theme for the
greatest poem ever written, Paradise
Lost" and to the painters their great
est themes in the Alteration of the
Magi,' THE TRANSPORTATION" "The
Last Supper" THE Crucifixion," "The
Entombment," THE Last Supper
and that all the schools of painting
put forth their utmost genius in pre-
senting "The Madonna"
