THIS conception of God and His re-
L laJions to nations and individuals
is the first step in following God. How
could one follow God if he were not
looking for Him in the places where lie
is to be found and where He is operat-
ing? And the second and third steps
naturally follow that of the first. Hav-
ing gained true vision of God, the
Christian citizen must keep his eye
fixed upon Him, and must concentrate
his purposes so that he will follow in
the direction in which the eyes are
turned. In my boyhood days a favorite
pastime with us lads was playing fol-
! low the leader. and the boy who kept
his eye fixed the most steadfastly upon
the leader, and keenly followed his ev-
cry move, was the one who most near
y initiated every action of the leader.
When the Christian is commanded to
follow God, he must keep his eyes upon
Him and concentrate his will so as 10
bring his actions into harmony with
that which his heart reveals TO him as
the right thing to do. l recall that
many times some Of us boys would fail
in following our leader. Sometimes be-
cause we took our eyes off him aSd
did not know what he had done, bNt
more often perhaps it was because We
did not do that which our eyes told ~
should be done. We did not conceh
trate our purposes so as TO bring the
actions Of the body into unison With
the vision of the eye. Here is where
the majority Of Christians fail, / be-
lfeve, as followers Of God. They see
i clearly but they do not act The vision
is good but concentration of purpose
is lacking

cannot imagine circumstances which
would have afforded better excuse for
refusal TO recognize the claims of the
nation upon him. Lit would have been
most natural and human for Daniel to
have reasoned himself into the belief
that disloyalty to the heather King
would be loyalty TO his God and his own
unfortunate nation. But there were
three elements in Daniels character
which enabled him To adjust himself
most equally and righteously with
the conditions surrounding him. As
follower of God he recognized Go6's
absolute sovereignty in both temporal
as well as spiritual affairs; he kept his
eye steadfastly fixed upon God, and he
concentrated his purposes IN God. And
as direct result of this threefold re-
lationship to God. his walk among men
was marked by practical contact with
them. and consistent and persistent ef.
fort in the duties and responsibilities
which lay before him.

THE tru.st patriot which the Jewish

THE truest patriot which the Jewish
nation ever had was Daniel sery-
ing faithfully and Loyalty i'm the court
OF the Bsbylonian king. Following God
and walking as child Of light did not
lead him TO develop such a religious
bias as TO put him out Of touch with
the world about him. Rather did il
make him a deep student of the polit-
ical situation which surrounded him
And his masterfuI grasp OF the affairs
of state in time gave him the oppor-
tunity to preach the true God and true
religion not only 10 the king, but the
nation as well. One man following God
was able TO put the impress OF his
personality upon tho kingdom and rise
from slave boy in the heather court to
he prime minister over all that vast
realm. Daniel is most striking type
Of exalted citizenship. His life IS a
practical illustration Of our text in
its reasonable application { o the every
day affairs Of the community, the state
and the nation. | cannot imagine a
more difficult. place for a young man
to have been placed IN than that into
which Daniel found himself drawn

HE Christian citizen, if he would be
true and loyal patriot, must first
of all recognize the sovereignty of God.
Gods eternal purposes are TO be work
ed out in the world through nations.
and individuals in their relations TO
nations. The religion which leads it's
followers to withdraw from vital con-
tact with the nation under the mis-
conception that God has abandoned it
in its mad rush to ruin might do for
angels who move in the higher spiritual
realm. but it will not do for man in the
world under the present dispensation.
1t is mighty uplift to the Christian
to realize that the hand of God rests
upon the temporal affairs of men and
OF nations. Daniel might well have
reasoned in the face of the continued
triumph of the mighty heather king
and the destruction of the Jewish ma
tion that Gods hand was not in il all
He might have hung his harp on the
weeping willow trees and sat down by
the rivers of Babylon and refused o be
comforted. But with the recognition
of the absolute sovereignty of God he
knew that even in the darkest hour OF
evils triumph God was moving on. and
he determined that he would he one Of
the channels through which God might
work. To-day realization OF the SOW
ereignty of God is as necessary as in
the days of Daniel.

Mrs. Wo0|faI|, Treated With the
New Remedy, Showing Con.

The results attending the use of for

fall OF 65 Evergreen street, who was
treated with formalin one week ago to-
day for most serious case OF blood
poisoning, is most satisfactory to the at
tending physicians. as well as astounding
in Its effects.
When Drs. Gladwin and Gardner OF
Pawtucket were called into the case the
woman was at the point OF death. and
from the usual run OF such aflictions
she would have died within a few hours.
She was suffering from puerperal sep
uCaemia In its worst form.
The physicians knew that her life was
doomed under all methods heretofore
known TO the medical profession and re-
solved 10 take desperate measures and
administered an injection OF formalin,
the newly discovered remedy for blood
poisoning. The effect was instantaneous
Twelve hours after the operation the
patients temperature was 99.2, after she
had reached point on the verge OF col
lapse. ON the evening OF the day after
the treatment was given the temperature
rose 10 iO0 whore it has since remained
with very slight variations. This rise
was due TO other complications aside
from blood poisoning
The pulse OF the patient continues 20
improve and there have been no septic
chills, following the one which dcvcf-
oped as result of the injection but
which gradually passed away. Yester-
day the pulse was i6. Mrs Woodfail

COAL WILL
DROP IN
PRICE
Prospects That Reduction Of
Retail and Wholesale Rates
Will Be Announced by Monday

According to the best OF information
prices OF coal which will. II is believed.
take effect on Monday. This, however, has
not as yet been determined. BY this re-
duction IL meant that it will apply TO the
local market
Prices for coal are high. IN fact much
too high, and the dealers, when they
make the announcement, who have coal
on hand, will stand to lose considerable
money. the prevailing price OF anthracite
has been 81 a ton for white ash and s12
a ton for Lehigh.
These prices have been established by
the largest dealers OF the city but small
er dealers have been charging prices con-
siderably I'm excess OF these. and quota
tions OF sl4 a ton for white ash have been
made recently. But the small dealers
have been charging prices consistent with
the cost OF their cargoes.
While the amount OF reduction is not
definitely known the price win probably
drop from s1l ton for white ash TO
$3.50 or 50, and the other classes OF fuel
will be reduced In proportion. There
will probably be n reduction In soft coal
as we'll The concerns that have coal
purchased or coal ahoat or coal on hand
will lose money.
None OF them has entirely exhausted
his supply and there will BE- loss on
what hereis on hand. But this will have
TO be stood and the people will make The
best OF the bargain. The companies that
have foreign coal on the way will stand
to lose money. provided they cannot dis
pose of the coal at price that will make
them whole.
John r. White & Son have one steam
err the Madeline. coming with cargo OF
Welsh cobble which is a superior grade
OF anthracite. which is better than Frank1
lin coal. This steamer is due TO arrive
within a week, 1t would appear. The
Eastern Coal Co. has several cargoes
OF soft coal coming but tSis will be in
more demand than will the anthracite.
The local cargoes whihc are afioat Will
be more susceptible 10 the fluctuation
than will the foreign cargoes.
The coal arrivals today include the
barge Vastly. with 500 tons Of anthracite
for the Eastern Coal Co, and the barge
Marion with 100 tons OF anthracite to
John r. White a. Son.
All OF the local dealers are now selling
coal to all comers and the deliveries are
made promptly. Coal ordered Is often
delivered within "a hours. for the dealers
are abreast OF the orders in delivery and
there IL but little demand for coal as
compared with the mad rush during De-
cember.
