The Epworth Leagu topic for Feb.
15 is found in Mark, X, 35-45: Mat
thew, xvi, 24~26. The question is
whether personal ambition shall over
shadow service for Christ.
From whatever Source it NAV arise
1T is clear that there is in most men
craving for power, for position, fof
mastery In some way. 1t shows itself
in tnnumerable ways. 1t may appear
as inventive faculty, combining things
in ways to reach desired ends. 1t may
be in searching the resources of ma
lure, exploring the unknown, or it may
be in clearing wilderness and bringing
1t under cultivation. 1t may be in
leading men in schools, in work, in
parliaments or battle. The spirit of
leadership, the thirst for dominion and
control, is in the blood of the race.
In Itself 1t is neither good nor bad.
1t Is a power which may work harm
or may be made strongly helpful The
Scriptures represent this as an endow

for his place in Gods world. And
from it came the command of God to
primitive man to have dominion over
all worldly creaturehood Man is to
be master of the earth. But his mas
terry is to be as the representative of
God.
If, now, the thirst for lordship breaks
the bounds of his subsection and man
undertakes TO rule himself instead of
for God, he at once becomes .usurper
and fntolerable s tyrant over the
world and rebel against God.

man to his true position in Gods

made haste to sever the tie that bound
nef to pennsylvania and in sign of the
separation set up president OF her

the founders of the Delaware Medical
society. While Delaware was still in
part subject to Pennsylvania, the gov
ernor of the latter state appointed Mr..
McKinly to be sheriff Of Newcastle
county. He was also for fifteen years
chief burgess (maYor) of Wilmington.
There were nine successive presidents
OF Delaware. The first to bear that til
tie OF governor was Cunning Bedford.
He and President McKinly both lie

President McKinly died in 1896. the
year in which Cunning Bedford be-
came governor. and a century before

Piled to a mysterious vagabOnd race scat
tered over the whole Of Europe and parts
Of Asia, Africa and America. Whence
they originally came is not definitely
known, but India seems to have been the
cradle of the tribe. For centuries past
they have drifted about over Europe in
small bands, having no permanent homes;
living by begging, fortune telling and va
rious, tricks. The first notice Of them
which occurs in European literature is
embodied in a free paraphraSe, in Ger
man. Of the Book of Genesis, written by
an Austrian monk about 1922. The ac-
count which they most frequently give of
themselves was that they originally came
from Little Egypt that the king Of
Hungary had compelled about 1000 of
them to be baptized had slain the re-
mainder, and had condemned the baptized
to seven years wandering. In France
