LESSON FOR DECEMBER 2.
The Brighter Side of the Rude Days of
the Judges.

The Brighter Side OF the Ruoe DAYS Oh
the Judges.
I. The General Preparation
(Judg. II to 81; Ruthl.
Cor each member of the Bible
class.)
No n would hesitate for a mo-
ment to admit that the Book of Ruth
is a grateful and sorely needed bit
of testimony to the presence and in
huence of other social conditions
than those emphasized in the main
portion of the Book of Judges. As
historical evidence it may not seem
valuable, since it's origin is probably
~post-exilic; but even its idyllic pic
ture is considerably justified by the
appearance of such fine character,
ideals, and leadership, as Samuel rep
resents. Samuel, Saul, David, Jona-
than, and Eli are good proof that the
whole story of the earlier age is not
given in the Book of Judges.
The appendix to the Book of
Judges (chaps. 1920 aims to illus
trate the darkest and rudest aspects
of that age, yet its contents have a
brighter significance. The story of
Micah and the Danites (chaps. H.,
49, clearly reveals the crudity of the
current religious ideas. Imagine a
man congratulating. himself on his
success in getting a wandering Le-
vite to become the priest of a shrine
whose image was made out of stolen
silver, and thinking that he was now
sure of Jehovah's blessingl Imagine
also the JOY of the Danites in gain
ing possession by theft of the priest,
image and ALL Yet it was much that
so great a value was set on the ex
ternals of religion. The outrage at

domestic side of life which the Book
of Ruth describes.
The story of Ruth is unsurpassed
for charm and tenderness. Slightly
modernized, it would take high rank
today as a short story. 1t is first of
all an idyl of sound, strong, womanly
character. Ruth has the self-devo-
ton, the reverence, the industry, the
modesty, the courage, and the ready
obedience, which entered into typi-
cal Hebrew womanhood. Again it
stands for the truth, so sorely need
ing enforcement, at least in post-ex-
ilic times, among the Jews, that those
of foreign birth might exhibit such
character as well as those of their
own nationality. 1t also undermines
the intolerance often felt by Jews
for outsiders by showing hat Ruth,
although a Moabitess, was recognized
as a true servant of Jehovah, welded
to an influential Hebrew, and in time
became the apoaS+rasS of KiDO 10

A Bill Carrying an Augmentation
Has Already Passed One House

Judge Ell Torrance, commander in chief
OF the G. A. r.. leaves tonight for Hot
ESpring. S. D.. where he goes to look over
prospective sites for the northers branch
of the national home for disabled SOL
diers The senate has already passed n
bill appropriating $l50.00O for the erection
OF the branch, and the matter is now in
the committee, in the house Of represen-
tatives. The land on which the home is
to be situated is to be donated by the
citizens of Hot Springs. and the state is
to set apart one of the springs as govern
ment property. The branch is badly
needed and there seems 10 be little doubt
that it will be erected.
The only branch home now located be-
tween the Mississippi and the Rocky
mountains is near Leavenworth. Kan,
and is badly crowded. In that territory,
it is estimated that fully 100000 veterans
Of the civil war are located. According
to official estimates the inmates of ma
tional soldiers homes will increase during
the next twenty years at the rate of about
1000 yearly; and preparations must be
made for their accommodation. The branch
at Hot Springs is designed particularly to
care for veterans who may be suffering
from rheumatism, sciatca, nervous pros
tration or similar maladies. The state
soldiers. home is already located there,
and the location is said TO be suitable in
every way, the district being wholly free
from malaria and the climate being
healthful. ~ ... ..... ....

away from its river anchorage in the
spring Of the year, and toward the latter
part Of July it had reached the latitude
of Wilmington, Del. No large animal life
had been seen on it, though there must
have been myriads- of the small creeping
things which abound in the tropics. By
the end Of August it had passed Cape Cod
and was veering toward the Grand banks.
1t followed the steamer lane routes quite
accurately, and several vessels reported
it. One month later it was in m1docean,
northwest of the Azores, and its voyage
evidently was beginning to tell on it. It
was much smaller and less compact. 1t
was not seen again, and probably it met
destruction in the October gales. But It
had travelled at least 1000 miles, and if,
as was thought, it came from the Orino
co, it must have covered twice that dis
lance. 1t is quite possible that floating
islands larger than this one, under more
favorable circumstances, might, during
past ages, have made the complete jour-
ney from America to Europe or Africa,
and SO brought about a distribution of
animal species. OF course, it is not abso-
lutely certain that this island went 10
pieces in October. 1t might, though this
is not probable, have foated down into the
region of Gains and seaweed, where it
would be longer preserved.

ENGLAND'S FRlENDLiNESS
Declared Interest in America During
Spanish American War;
Review Of Reviews

Review Of Reviews. ..
The English government from the very
outset was probably more friendly to ours
than were those of the continent When
war actually broke out, it will be remem-
bered that the first blow was struck in
the far east. Dewey's victory at Manila
affected the international situation very
greatly. The continental nations were
Jealous of the United States and sympa-
thetic toward Spain. England, on the
other hand, went so far in friendliness to
the United States as perhaps to be some
what careless about the obligations Of
neutrality. England was much worried
over the question Of the open door in
China, Germany, Russia and France were
aggressive in their Chinese policies, and
England felt her own interests and plans
to be in some Jeopardy. American in
terests in China, like those of England,
were regarded as commercial rather than
territorial. Germany was hoping to buy
the Philippines from Spain in case the
United States should not retain the group,
and England was bringing to bear every
possible influence to keep Germany out and
to persuade the United States that it was
the duty Of our government to retain the
archipelago. In all sorts of ways we were
made to feel the friendliness of England.
and in many ways We're given evidence OF
the lack of sympathy of the continental
peoples and governments. unquestlonably
in war time it is very convenient to have
the sub rosa friednly offices of an ostens
IDLY neutral power. When the facts are
analysed, the European lack of sympathy
did us little harm, and the English friend
Illness rendered us no very decisive ser
vice-although doubtless some of Spain
neighbors covered up violations of lieu
trality in the supply of war materials.
and it is said that the English shut their
eyes at Hongkong while Dewey helped
himself to ammunition.

A BLOW TO THE S. A
Announcement Of Resignation Of
Commandment Herbert Booth.
HEAD OF AUSTRALIAN STATION
Advices of the Loss Received at
Northwestern Headquarters
in Minneapolis.

Lieutenant Colonel J. E. Margetts has
received a letter from Booth Tucker,
commander Of the American forces OF the
salvation Army, in which the resigna
ton Of Commander Herbert Booth Of the
Australian station is announced
III health is given as the reason for
this step on the part of the son of the
commander-in- chief in England. 1t seems
that six or eight months ago Herbert
Booth asked to be relieved Of the Austria
liam command and offered to take charge
for a time of a 20,000-acre government
grant given to the army for colonization
purposes Now, for some reason, said to
be a more prolonged and serious break
down than expected, the commandant has
Withdrawn from the army. The warmest
assurances OF friendship and of hearty
support of the Salvation Army are given.
1t is reported that Mr.. Booth has accept ed
a government position where his brilliant
abilities will find use. At the same time
he will be relieved of the strain INSOFAR
able from an army command. Commander
Booth tucker says, in closing his letter:
am pound to confess, however, that to US
1T would have seemed preferable by far for
the commandant to have asked the general
for some quiet and retired position within
the ranks, where, without the strain of public
work, he could still have more or less act
lively taken part in the war. And yet those
or US who have been compelled at times to
lay aside our active duties will be the first
to recognize how difficult it is to rest amid
the atmosphere Of warfare and world need
which ever envelopes the Salvationist.
10 the general, the chief, the consul. the
field commissioner and Mrs. Boot -Hellberg,
the news has caused the deepest regret. and
they have united in urging the commandant
to reconsider or at least postpone his decision
till he has had further time for prayer and
for talking the future over with the general.
1t Is probable, however, that some opening
has presented itself which the commandant
did not feel at liberty to decline. We shall
doubtless have further particulars little
later. -.as g..

CASE IS A SAD one
Christine Johnson Picked Up on
the Street Heavily Armed.
REFUSES TO TALK WITH FAMILY
Her Sanity-Father
Farmer.


Poor Christine Johnson will probably
be sent to the madhouse. Judge Harvey
mas held her case in allegiance for some
time in the hope that her father would
take her home to the farm, where rest
and care might raise her from the unfor-
tunate condition into which she has fallen
through reckless living and personal ne
glect. The father is Gabriel Johnson, a
farmer of Morrison county He will take
the girl home if the Judge so orders, but
expresses himself as fearful OF the con-
sequences. ...E.
When Christine was taken into the
presence OF her father and brother she
refused to shake hands or talk with them.
She positively refused to assent to any
plan to send her home.
The girl is apparently unbalanced. When
found by Lieutenant Ginsberg at 3 clock
in the morning wandering about the
streets near the Swedish tabernacle she
was armed with revolver and a Ratchet,
and carried package of powder, believed
to be high explosive.
Her room is filthy IN the extreme and is
full OF rags and refuse, showing that she
is wholly incapable of caring for herself
properly. Judge Harvey has decided to
inquire as to the womans sanity and if
she is adjLdged insane by the commission
she will be sent to the st. Peter hospital.
