NOTES ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR NOVEMBER "a.
Worlds Temperance Lesson.
Isaiah 28:1-7.

ISAIAH 20 81
Golden Text.-They also have
erred through wine. Isaiah 1881.
The fourth Sunday in November
has been set apart as a Worlds Tenn
perance Sunday, and the lesson we
are to study has been selected with
reference to that fact.
The Historical Situation.-The
words of Isaiah assigned for u
study were spoken at a critical pc
Rod. The northern kingdom of Is
raeI, which is called by the name of
the single tribe Ephraim in the text
OF our lesson, was already invaded by
the hostile forces of the Assyrians,
who were laying waste the country,
soon to fall under their complete
control. Isaiah was prophesying at
Jerusalem, the capital of Judah,
where king Hezekiah was upon the
'nrone. The prophet points to the

THE CHRTSTIAN LIFE
Out of Touch.

onL, . smile, yes, only a smile
III That a m o'erburdened with
grief
Expected from you: 'twould have
given her relief,
For her heart ached sore the while;
BYt feary and cherries she went
away,
Because, as it happened, that very
day,
You we're "out of touch" with your
Lord.
Only a word, yes, only a word
That the Spirits small voice whis-
pered, "Speak;"
But the worker passed onward un-
blessed and weak,
Whom you were meant to have
stirred
To courage, devotion and love anew,
Because when the message came to
You we're "out of touch" with your
Lord.
Only a note, yes, only a note
To a friend in a distant land;
The Spirit said, write" but then
you had planned
Some different work, and you thought
1t mattered little. You did not know
'Twould have saved a soul from sin
and woe,
You were "out of touch" with your
Lord.
Only a song, yes, only a song,
That the Spirit said, "Sing to-
night;
Thy voice is thy Masters pur-
chased right"
But you thought, enid this motley
thrOng
I care not to sing of the city of
gold'-
the heart that your words might
have reached grew cold.
You we're "out of touch" with you
Lord.
Only a day, yes, only a day!
But oh! can you guess, my friend,
Where the influence reaches, and
where it will end
Of the hours that you frittered
away!
The Masters command is, "Abide in
Me-"
And fruitless and vain will your SER
vice be
If "out of touch" with your Lord.

The Freeman, of st. John, N. B.,
commenting on the proclamation of
Dublin, says: We in this part of the
British empire, we, citizens of British
North America, have a great deal for
which we ought to be duly grateful.
We enjoy freedom under our constitu-
ton, under the wise provisions of the
British North American Act. We have
liberty, perfect liberty-not license. No
coercion, no Crimes Act needed in
Canada. We have all the privileges,
the blessings flowing from Home Rule

Morris bill for the sale of Indian tim
Der, it passed the House by 81 to 8,
We challenge Mr.. Fletcher to deny Il
word of what we say on this subject.
We have the Congressional Record at
our elbow.
But Mr.. Fletcher claims that he is
entitled to support for obtaining appro
priations for the Meeker Island dam
Will he please give the list of
any of his constituents who worked
on that dam? How has it benefited
the citizens of Minneapolis and tn.
county Of Hennepin? We pause for
a reply.
Loren Fletcher is not entitled to the
support of Democrats in this cam
paign when he has a man of such
high character and unsullied integrity
as John Lind for his opponent. Mr..
Lind was nominated almost unani-
mously by his party while Mr.. Fletch-
er is a minority candidate, as the Jour-
nal says. He has split his party in
twain and knows his defeat is inevita-
BILE if the Democrats do not come to
his rescue. John Lind will be elected
by handsome majority if Democrats
do their duty, and we know they will.
Fletcher, with all his money, cannot
be elected this off year. He has out
lived his usefulness as a representa-
tive from this district and will be
forced into "sweet retirement" by the
independent voters of his own party.

Mr.. Jeremiah Quinn, of Milwaukee,
talks through his hat when The says in
the Catholic Citizen anent an Irish
eviction: eff young King had procur-
ed Mauser rifle and shot Flanagan
on the spot, and then said I will keep
the house my grandfather built at the
sacrifice of my BLOOD his words would
have some effect, and evictions Wound
take a different aspect. One crack
from a Mauser will do more to stop
Irish evictions than all the eloquence
in Ireland. Suppose young King fell,
could he fall more nobly than defend
ing his wife and children's firesida:
My weird for it, evictions will not
cease in Ireland until the crack of the
rifle is heard in the land.' 1t is all
very well for Mr.. Quinn to talk in that
strain in Milwaukee-some 1000 miles
from Roscommon, where King was
eyicted from his home. King had no
Mauser to shoot Flanagan with, and
the crack Of rifle will not be heard
in the proclaimed district in which he
lives unless the rifle is used by police
man in shooting the peasantry. Men
like King cannot get a permit or Ii
cense to carry arms in Ireland. They
might be tempted to shoot the land
lords. If Mr.. Quinn went to Ireland
as an American citizen he could not
carry a pop gun or a revolver. Lei
him go over and try it, and see FOR
himself.

Jews, applaud Mr.. Hay to the skies
because Of his note for the uplifting
Of the Hebrews. The same Jewish
press of London was chiefly instru-
mental in bringing on the Boer war
and in getting seventeen counties of
Ireland under martial law in time of
peace. That rascany press advocates
freedom for the Jews in Roumania
and persecution for the Catholics in
Ireland. Dublin Castle is lauded by
it for depriving the Irish of their lib
erty. England is moved with pity for
the Jews of the Balkans after it's treat
ment of the Beers. In the words of
Byron:
Nor tlorid prose- nor honey'd lies Of
rhyme.
Can blazon evil deeds or consecrate a
crime.

not limit itself to the suggestion that
Dublin is full Of crime and outrage; it
further declares that so universal is
the sympathy with criminality in our
city that no Dublin jury, however
carefully selected, however carefully
winnowed Of Nationalist or Catholic
members, could be trusted on their
oath to convict the outrage
and criminals.
No wonder all true citizens of Dub
lin join in indignant protest against
this outrage of Mr.. Wyndham. From
every public meeting held in Dublin
there have been speeches and resolu-
lions condemning the blind brutality
of the Castle.
