Loving and obevine God.

1t may be frankly admitted that there
Is some monotony in the Pentateuch. 1t
Is occasioned by the reiteration of con-
siderable portions. Then; too, there is
almost Infinite detail In directions for per-
sonal. priestly, and tribal conduct. There
are the genealogfesa the itineraries. and
the divers laws, sanitary. ecclesiastical,
and other.
The Pentateuch may be a desert OF stat
utory legislation and Inventories Of places,
things. and people. 1t must be acknowl-
edged, however, that is-desert is not
lacking in GASES. And it Is well worth
while to cross the barren wastes to come
upcn these gardens of God. They are UNI
surpassed If even matched. in literature,
and. without reference to inspiration. are
worthy of attention. They are great
worthy of them. At the same time 1t Is
only fair to say that even what have
been thought the monotonous parts of the
Pentateuch are not wanting In suggestive
nous reiterations of prohibitions, penalties
and atonements are significant OF the in
voterateness of human sin.

One is almost startled to come upon 1t
so early IL the evolution OF Divine trutn.
We realize that Jesus was not literally
issuing new commandment when ne
said: Love God. Love thy neighbor:
but was repeating. with the accent OF His
own Divinity this age-old injunction. We
are consciously at the root or the wnoie
matter Back of all law and legislation.
love is the ground of obedience. A love
less obedience is vain. 1t tends to Phar-
isaism and hypocrisy. Again. God does
not wish the obedience of fear. II mas
been well said that this commandment
teaches with burning conviction that God
is too ethical and spiritual in nature to

In WANT AND HUNGER
MRS. A. L. BARToN'S FAMILY
+ DESTITUTE AT WEST END.
Family of Four Dependent Upon
Pitiful Earnings Of a Child.
Are Worthy Objects Of
Charity.

Want and restitution have taken their
abode in the humble home of Mrs. A, L.
Burton, an aged woman of west END
with a helpless and dependent FAMILY.
She lives in one of a row of small cot
tages near the Peoples Cotton Mill.
Her condition Is pitiable.
Her family numbers four, three caught
ers and a little grandson. Two of these
daughters are able to work occasionally
but seldom does their health permit them
TO put in more than two or three days
a week. The grandson struggles on map
fully and contributes his small earnings
every week to the family fund.
One of the daughters. Little Bell Bar
ton is subject to epileptic attacks and
day in and day out she has to be care
fully watched by her old mother. The
mother Is some 30 years old, but many
cares seem to have added several years
to her age.
Their house is kept in neat state.
but the bare floors, the lack Of bedding,
and the absence of furniture evidences
their poverty.
The two daughters who are able to work
occasionally are Symphronia and Pales-
tine Barton. Up to few months ago
they supported the family. Typhoid fever
attacked both and the family was ON the
point OF StaVdtioil, "Heti. tHeh NO'ie'e.o'
was discovered by their enighbors. The
management of the mill made a liberal
contribution in the way f-food and fuel
The neighbors gave them clothes and up
to a few weeks ago they did fairly well.
But restitution is again their part The
little grandson's mite each week does not
give the family enough food to support
life They are on the point of starva-
ton The factory management and en-
ployes do all in their power to keep them
up, but the charity of those in Mont
gomery who are able to give Is looked
forward to.
The people are wothy. They come origi-
nally from Columbus, Ga, and are prac-
tically strangers in Montgomery. Food
is what they need and medicines are also
badly in want. Several physicians have
given the family some attention. but none
have done so with regularity.

HER SENSES ARE VERY ACUTE.
Remarkable Ability of a Blind and

and rendered him partly unconscious. He
staggered backward but the other man
was upon him. A second blow was struck
Mr.. Mason fell senseless.
About twenty minutes later he was
found by Messrs John Rousseau and
Cook. railroad employees. His head was
badly bruised and he had bled considera-
bly,. Mr.. Mason was taken to his home,
where he passed a quiet night. He was
on the streets yesterday.
The thieves took nothing but his watch,
which was a small open-faced gold time
piece, No. 13634S. The letters If. J. M, 3"
were engraved on the back. The chain
also fell prey to the highwaymen. In
the locket of this chain was engraved the
same initials.
No money was taken by the robbers.
Mr.. Mason carried only a little change,
which was untouched.

One glory of the religion of the Bible
is the cage with which 1t Is epitomized.
Other religions tend to the mHtiplex' and
multiform. and resist condensation. The
true religion finds ample expression. in. u
word Of four. Heiress-Love.
The sense in which Jesus gave new
commandment when he said. Thou shalt
love- fs this. The average Hebrew had
SO utterly forgotten 1t that its reaffirma-
ton was to >au iptents and purposes the
announcement of the original command.
1t was new to him.
Utterly gone to seed in ritualism had
Israel. The letter had killed the spirit.
This was Jesus coatention with his coun-
trymen. They were so busy tithing mint,
arise. and cummin that they forgot to
love; hence they were wanting in the
other essentials of religion; Judgment,
mercy and faith.
The .farewells of Moses" deserve place
among the masterpieces of patriotic and
religious eioquence. They have undouht-
national life and character for twenty
Centuries. The analogy to them OF Pauf s
farewell to the Ephesian elders has been
pointed out
A pathetic interest attaches to the jour-
neys.o f.the wise in quest of truth. They
often thought 1t beyond the sea-. and
made toilseme and futile voyages to at
tain it, They had not heard the benignant
saving, The word Is. very nigh unto
thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart.
No Scripture more clearly enunciates
the freedom of the will. II have set be-
fore thee life and death. in that | com,
mand thee to love the Lord. But "
thine heart turn away" Freedom is the
sole ground Of rewardableness or punish
ableness.
No finer commentary on this paragraph
than that of Wellhausen can be round
" here he says: Nowhere does the funda.
mental religious thought of prophecy find
clearer expression than in Deuteronomy
-tha thought that Jehovah asks nothfna
for Himself but asks 1t as religious duty
that man should render to man what Is
right; that Gods will lies not In any UNI
known height but in the moral sphere
which Is known and understood by all.
The es, initial difference between Islam
ism and Hebraism Is apparent at this
point. The former stands for absolute
unloving power; the after for obedience
in love The former makes men slaves
the latter makes them sons. The former
makes God a tyrant. the latter makes
Him a father. The former is the appeal
to fear. the latter is the appeal to love.

NEW SCHEDULE IN EFFECT.
Street Railway Company's Cars Ran

delays on account of passengers losing
time getting on and off of the cars.
Excellent time was maintained and
Manager Semmes promises that as soon
as the new cars are delivered in Mont
gomery the time for each trip will be re-
duced several minutes.
Yesterday the Court Street cars passed
Court Square every ten minutes, making

cars did even better There was only
eleven minute intervals between each car.

BOOM IN PRECIOUS STONES.
More Jewels Were Imported This
Tear Than Ever Before.

Tear Than Ever Before.
New York World.
More precious stones are brought into
and sold in the United States today than
ever before in the history of the coun-
try. .-t..
Every year statistics have shown an
increase in this line, until last year the
appraised value of precious stones pass
ing through our custom house reached
total OF more htan SIS. 10000
This year the trade promises to sur
pass that of last year.
Now Is the rush season among the i'm
porters of precious stones. and they are
doing a business that Is unprecedented
The Appraised value OF stones imported
since the beginning of the year has
reached $1s. 80, 000. and at the rate that
thew are now coming in before the year
closes the figures will approach close
to $50 600, 600.
More than 81, 900, 900 worth of gems have
been brought in since the beginning OF
the month of August. This is not only
far beyond the records Of any previous

American dealers during the entire last
year of CIevelaud's administration.
These figures inclule precious stones OF
all sorts, but chief among the gems
imported are the diamonds. with pearls
as a close second. The greatest demand
has always been for diamonds and
pearls.
Speaking of this increase in the i'm
portation of precious stones, Chief APP
praiser Mendell says:
There is no greater evidence Of the
prosperity of our country than the in
crease of the trade in jewels. When
the demand for such things increases
1t shows beyond a doubt that there Is
plenty of money around.
