Tne Fatber,s Forgiveneas.

The other day a person asked me
what l considered the most beauuful
sentence in the parable. This was my
answer: 1T is not to be found in the
good fathers dealings with the youn-
ger. but with the elder, son. When the
servant came in and told the good IA
ther that his elder boy was acting un-
alially and unbrOtherly, the father dld
not lose his patience. lie did not send
q peremptory command to his elder
son to come to him at once, as he had
a right to do, but, as Il servant, he lett
tile banquet hall He went out into
the darkness of the night and placed
his arm gently about his sinful elder
sons neck, as he answered in plead
ing, yearning voice, Son, thou art ever
with me, and all that l have is thine.
That is as much as to say: My boy,
my dear boy, am not trying to do you
any injustice l shall not take away
any of your Inheritance. All that l nave
is yours. What l long for is for the
love and the purity of my children. I
want my two boys to be always by my
side. Come, my child; come back TO
your fathers love. Come back into the
old homestead which l have prepared
for you.'" Oh, that answer to me IS
beautiful! That answer is the sweet
| est. gentlest, most loving and yet mos;
pleading rebuke ever spoken by the
/ Inns of any of the characters of the
/ Bible. That is a Christ love pleading
/ for you and for me to come into the
Fathers house and nestle as a lamb
in his bosom.
/ But, after ALI the most impressive
part OF the elder brothers history is
the abrupt way in which the parable
ends. There is no doubt the younger
son was forgiven. No doubt the repent
ant prodigal was able to enjoy the rest
and the home pleasures of the fathers
house. But how about that cynical,
self satisfied and complaining elder
brother? Did he ask forgiveness Of
his father? Did he go into the ban
duet where the feast was being cele
brated? l do not know. cannot tell
The parable ends with the earnest plea
of the father We must take the rest
as we will. Personally l have my
doubts about the salvation of that cid
er brother. 1t is sometimes far easier
for the sinner down in the slums to
come to Christ than for the rich son
living in a luxurious palace. A Lon
don missionary was one night called up
to 20 to dying girl. This wayward
child at the time was living in "A disso-
lutte house When the missionary en-
tered the room, he found a sinful Sis
ter holding in her arms the head OF
the dying girl, and she was saying
Jennie, it is all right. Put your love
and trust in Jesus. He died for just
such sinful girls as we are. Jennie pu'
your faith in Jesus Christ" Yes we
can all feel that Christ died for the
prodigal son, but it is awfully hard
for some Of the sinful elder brothers
and sisters to feel that it was neces
sary for Jesus Christ to die for then
and their sins My elder brother II

A Defect In Character
Elder brothers, you have no ground
for pride if the restraint that has kept
You from prodigality is itself delect
of character 1t is true that you nave
not gone off as a prodisal into lar
country of sin. You have not given
midnight banquet and started your
Young friends on the path TO drunk
ards grave by teaching them how TO
bury their lips in the red poison OF tiie
wine cup. You may have been 100
s+inev for that: you may have been so
mean and stingy that there IS no rear
that you would drink glass OF VINE
or smoke a cigar unless some one else
Maid for it. 1t is not principle tllat
saves some men from going to destruc-
tion bv the broad highway OF dlsso-
luteness. but penuiousness. Ihey holu
ON to every dollar they have and are
too stingy to spend cent Ihey keep
their money as long as they can ana
never give a cent to a friend unless
thev make that friend give them hrst
class security and pay full interest
But. my so called respectable ana up
right pharisaical friend, though you
are not a prodigal, you may be usur-
or. an extOrtcner and slanderer' lou
may be a robber of the poor WIDOW
mite and a contemplate tyrant in your
dealings with your debtors ana your
EMPLOYEES. You may be a peddler OF
evil reports and a murderer OF your
ueighbors reputation. You may De
one of those keen, cold automatons
without one drop of human KINDNESS
in your heart. You may be so mercl-
less in your dealings with mankind
that YOU will not stop for one moment
TO consider the sad causes which led
your friends into sin or into financial
difficulty. And, elder brother, II your
faults are meanness and avarice, though
Won may have never violated the crim'
inal code of your state you are at heart
n sinful monster, a financial tyrant;
Won are at heart a merciless calumnla-
tor. God despises your unrepented SINS
lust as much as he despises the sins OF
the prodigal in the far country.
Satan is no nearer being Christian
gentleman for dressing himself in
broadcloth. The hangman's moose IS no
less fatal for being deftly placed about
the doomed throat by white fingers
a-clitter with diamond rings. Because
Won. oh. elder brother, stay at home
and live under your fathers roof, that
is no reason why you may not be lVlns
10000 miles away from your father
love. do not believe there is a more
contemptible character painted in all
the word pictures Of the Bible than this
cold blooded, unforgiying, sneering
carping elder brother, who was ready
to take every advantage he could over
his fellow men if he could only do SC
without disobeying the letter of the
law. Instead Of being drunk will
wine he was intoxicated with self con
ceit and selfishness. Instead Of being
a beggar or earning his bread by tend
ING swine he was ready to unkennel the
bloodhounds of vindictive rancor, which
would tear a repentant brother limL
from limb.

BATTLE WITH MOB
Police and Strikers Have a Serious
Clash in Chicago.

CLASH m Cnicd9o.
Chicago, Nov. 25. Fierce fighting
in which the police used their clubs
freely and twice their revolvers
marked the opening Of the State
street cable line by the Chicago City
Railway company yesterday. AS far
as can be ascertained nobody was seri-
ously injured, although there were
many broken heads among the rioters
who came in contact with the clubs or
the police. If any members OF the
mob were injured by the bullets OF the
police and %non-uniOn men on the cars
they were carried off by their friends
before the fact became known to
others. While the fighting was going
on in the streets the usual conferences
were in progress and propositions n
counter propositions we're passing
back and forth.
The Hardest Fighting
of the day took place at Forty-irst
and State streets, where a mob, hiding
behind a fence, stoned the cars which
were guarded by officers. The police
were over the fence at once and fired
several shots over the heads of the
fleeing strikers. Many of the mob who
were slow of foot were overtaken by
the police and soundly raped with
clubs. Few arrests were made, the Of
ticers ~contenting themselves with
scattering the crowd.
Conductor J. P. Premier was in
tackled, and when the stones com
menced to whiz past his head and
smash the windows of his car, he
promptly drew a revolver and fired at
the crowd until the cartridges in his
weapon were exhausted. The cars
were attacked at the same point on the
return trip and a number of
Shots Were Fired,
the mob scattering like a flock of
chickens. All day long on State street
the company was hanpered by the
work of the mob, which piled obstruc-
tons upon the tracks, drove pegs and

trolley wires in many places. The
Archer avenue line was badly dam,
aged early in the day and required
several hours work by a strong force
of repairmen who were heavily guard
ed by the police.
At the conferences held last night
between the officials and board of di-
rectors of the road and representatives
of the strikers no settlement was ar
rived at, and it is uncertain when the
trouble will be adjusted. Neither
side to the controversy would give out
any information, but it is said the
latest hitch in the negotiations is the
refusal of the company to agree to re-
instate all the union men who went on
strike.
