A QUESTION OF WINES.

~ R. w. H. WILEY, chief of the bureau of
/ i chemistry of the Department of Agriculture
- who has Just returned from Europe. where
he has been investigating the export of aduterated
or falsely labeled foodstufs this country has man
aged to start nice little controversy immediately
upon his arrival In the course of talk on the sub
ject of wine imports he was reported as saying:
There are no chateau vineyard wines shipped 10
the United States. The Americans drink nothing
but labels" The statement naturally aroused the in
dgnation OF wine dealers and wine consumers in
New York. Prompt refutation was called for and
was forthcoming, so the conflict began
One OF the leading wine mel. in New York is
quoted as saying: "The American people are NOT
fools, and they know what they are drinking. At
least 80 per cent of the chateau and imported wines
are genuine. There may be per cent of inferior
and sdulterated wines shipped chateau and vine

REQUESTS A FURLOUGH.

q OMETHING new in politics has been fur
nshed by the versatile Abe Ruef Finding
himself insecurity balanced on a slender rope
OF his own manufacture stretched across the chasm
that separates the Republican party from the Labor
party, he has had the happy thought OF applying to
the Republican League for leave of absence until No
vember 3. His letter is in the hands of officers Of
the league and will be considered meeting OF the
advisory council this evening
The request embodied in the letter will doubtless
surprise the council 1t will certainly present alto
gether issue in political tactics and political
morals In times past the common-sense and straight
forward honesty of the American people has required
that politician either support his party ticket bolt
it. He has had to take some such honest, above
board course or get out OF politics Ruef hasn't the
honesty the manliness to do either the the
other. He is a member of the Republican League,
he has shared in its councils, he was delegate to
the Republican convention and took part in all its
proceedings. Now he purposes to betray the party,
but with cunning that surely engendered in his
gall rather than in his brain he asks to be granted
opportunity to commit the betrayal while enjoying
leave OF absence
The possibilities OF the new trick are numerous
Why should not the league take into its councils all
the Democratic and the Labor party bosses during
off years. give them voice in every arrangement
made for the next election, permit them to sit as dele
gates in the nominating convention OF the party and
then when the lines drawn and the campaign and
the canvassing about to begin graciously grant
them leave of absence to fight the ticket?
If Benedict Arnold had had the gall of Ruef he
might have made his little treason quite safe by
asking Washington for leave Of absence while nego
tating the surrender OF West Point
1t has been the custom OF Americans to make short
work of boilers when they break away in an
open and manly fashion When the silver question
disturbed the country in 1896 Republicans did not
grant leave of absence even to so honored states
man as Senator Teller; neither did the Democrats
grant leave of absence to Grover Cleveland In each
the bolter read out OF the party Why should
there be more lenent dealing with man who with
honesty enough stand for his convictions tries
TO sneak away under pretense Of leave OF absence?
There is but one dignihed and simple course open
to the advisory council and that is to expel the
traitor. The granting OF leave of absence in case
Of this kind would be to turn politics into farce
Ruef is either Republican or he is not If he be
Republican, if he has been intriguing against
the party all the time he has been holding a place
in the councils OF the league and seat in the con-
vention, then he should now be let out by being
kicked out

1t is well to clearly recognize them and
be guarded against them. Among our
young people are many who have never
made an open profession Of faith in
Jesus Christ and never taken vows of
allegiance to God. They attend the
services of the church as matter of
custom and find society among Chris
tan young people, but do not reckon
themselves as Christians or feel bound
by rules which they think Christians
ought to keep. Pride revolts against
the demand for a pure life of unselfish
devotion and loving fellowship does not
attract since it puts to shame and con-
dennis the self-indulgence which has
become so confirmed in practice and
disposition.
Some there are who have no positive
dislike of religion, but habitually dis
like earnest eXertion of almost any
kind. They prefer not to be disturbed
by any serious thought or effort. Mat
tiers are well enough as they are, and
there is no particular danger or cause
common among Christians as we'll as
the processing friends Of the
church
Errors in belief and action are not
such serious matters as to warrant ex-
cftement or anxiety, and surely, they
think, should be handled quietly and
cautiously. Truth and right have new
er been of enough Importance to them
to awaken them from their indolent
ease and apathy. Others among us are
Indifferent to the gospel of Christ be-
cause they are occupied so completely
by other things. They have never stop
ped to think much about the matter.
There is danger of the gravest kind
in such a situation.

PAUL's FAREWELL TO EPHEsus

The International Sunday school. les
son for April is found in Acts Xxx,
2S-SS. The golden text is the thirty
fifth verse of the lesson. The events Of
this lesson follow Immediately after
those studied three weeks ago. Recall
PauPs experiences at Ephesus, especial
~ the trouble with Demetrius and the
silversmiths, and remember that it was
this trouble, which led to his leaving
Ephesus on the journey studied today.
Just as in battle a general hastens to
strengthen his weakest point, so Paul
hurried to rally the brethren where
they most needed his encouraging
words. While laboring in Ephesus so
successfully he was concerned for the
church at Corinth. and wrote the
brethren there a letter. Then, after the
uproar in Ephesus, he set out to see
them face to face, visiting the disciples
In Macedonia by the way, and sending
on another epiStle to the Corinthians by
the hand of Titus. Staying at Corinth
for three months only he narrowly es-
capped plot against his life in coming
away. Note what he did also on his re-
turn trip, and you have faint idea Of
the immense Importance of this one
man in the spreading of the gospel.

THE TEACHINGS OF A PARABLE

The Baptist Union topic for April
is found in Luke, X, 30-37.
The parable of the good Samaritan
is the second of those to be found only
in Luke's gospel and is one of the love-
Hest and most suggestive of all the par
ables Of Christ. If Luke had preserved
nothing else than this parable and that
of the prodigal son, the world would
have been immeasurably indebted to
him. Nothing so much as these price
less stories illustrates the fact that
Christ "spake as never man spake.''
This parable teaches US who is our
neighbor. The Jews were most exclu-
sive in their definition of neighbor,
while Christ is most comprehensive.
Any man the world over who needs
our help, temporarily or spiritually, is
our neighbor. This truth needs still to
be emphasized, and the world needs
more and more to see in Jesus Christ
the ideal good Samaritan and to imi-
tate His example. The world is full of
the needy and unfortunate. Let us, fol-
lowing Christ's example and precept,
do unto them as we would have them
do unto US"

THE GOOD SAMARITAN,

The Christian Endeavor topic for
April is found in Luke, X, 30-37. The
parable of the good Samaritan was call
ed forth by the question of a lawyer
whose business it was to interpret the
Mosaic law concerning eternal life. Six
times Christ met this question in some
form: What shall 1 do to inherit eter-
nal hfe?' The lawyer asked it that he
might test Christ. In answer Jesus re-
ferred to the law, which the lawyer
correctly quoted as embracing love to
God and love to our neighbors. At
tempting to justify his Interpretation
of the law, which was an exclusive one,
the lawyer asked, And who is my
neighbour" This question called forth
this matchless parable:
/. The parable of the good Samari-
tan teaches us who is our neighbor A
man fell among thieves and was left
half dead. A priest passed him by with
out looking at him; a Levite CHANGED
along, came and looked on him and
passed by on the other side;" then
came Samaritan, a man of different
race and religion, and he cared for him
and in doing so illustrated-neigh borli-
ness. In this story Christ teaches us
that the man who needs our help and
whom we are able to help is our neigh
bOr regardless of race, nationality, re-
ligiOn or social position.
2. The parable of the good Samari-
tan teaches us how to love our neigh
Dor as ourselves" How to do this is
often serious question. 1t cannot
mean that there is to be as strong af-
lection in our hearts for all men as for
our own interest and that of those
bound to us by the national ties of life.
God has placed us in peculiar relation
to many people. and our first duty is to
them. What does it mean then? What
did the Samaritan do? He did unto an
other as he would have had that 9th
er do unto him had the conditions been
reversed.
3. The parable of the good Samari-
tan teaches that all men should love
their neighbors as themselves. Priest
and Levite are condemned for their
failure to do SO, while the Samaritan is
