always come from any one or all of
three directions. By way of the flesh
or the lower animal nature, by way of
the higher human nature or temporal
ambition, and by way of the religious
instincts or spiritual pride. Every
temptation which comes to man may
be classified under one of these three
divisions. 1t is illustrated by the three
fold temptation of Jesus in the wilder
ness. 1t is with a conception of the
full scope of temptation which leads
John to write: "All that is in the world.
the lust of the flesh. and the lust of the
eyes and the pride of life, is not of
the Father, but is of the world"
The devil is a great general. even IL
he Is coward and poltroon. and he has
long since learned that the weakest
point Is the place where victory is most
likely to be won. A great many people
willfully or careles>ly refuse to recog-
nize that they have a weakest point.
OCR text is suggestive of the bat
" tietield. When the devil is around
1t either means fight or surrender.
The devil never fights unless he has
to. His favorite method is to suggest
a truce at the very start If the soul
consents, he encamps on the spot and
Immediately sets his snares which en-
trap the soul and bring it under his
power. James, who tells us to resist
the devil. in the opening portion of
his letter shows us how the devil
operates. He takes the matter up at
the point where the soul has entered
into truce with the devil and the
latter has camped on the spot. Then.
says James. man IS drawn away of
his own lust, and enticed. Then.
when lust hath conceived. it bringeth
forth sin: and sin. when il is finished,
bringeth forth death" These words
describe accurately the way in which
the devil wins his conquest over the
soul. The devil las come in the guise
of some temptation. Instead of i'm
mediate resistance and no parleying
the voice of the devil is listened to
as he pleads for hearing 1t is at
this point that temptation begins to
be sin. The devil. given his oppor-
turty. is not slow to hold up the
temptation in its most attractive
light. He covers up the sting. He
makes it appear to be thing great
~ to be desired. He works his spell
as he did in the garden with Eve and
makes the thing desired look good
and wholesome and delightful. Here
is where man is drawn away of his
own lust and enticed." and it is only
step farther to the full commission
of the deed and the complete victory
of the devil over the soul.
Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft familiar with her face,
We first endure. then pity, then embrace"
The Forrest City times., 1903-06-12

THE reason a good many people dis
pute the existence of the devil is
because they have never seen him in
fight. He has so successfully identi-
fed himself with conditions, and
things, and impulses, and desires, and
appetites, and ambitions that his per-
sonality is obscured. But the fact of
the matter is that God and His Word
recognize and speak of him as real
person from Genesis to Revelation.
and it is something more than an infu-
ence or natural human tendency with
which the soul has to deal. Not only
must the reality of the devil be felt,
but the directions from which his
attacks are made must be clearly I'M
derstood. To be forewarned is TO be
forearmed. Military success is always
dependent upon the knowledge of the
movements of the enemy and the point
at which the attack IS TO be made. To
be surprised is to be half defeated at
the very start. The attacks of the devil

T HE above lines of Poe is the
thought of James expressed
POLITICALLY, and shows the process by
which the soul is brought to final and
unconditional surrender. But if it is
case of fight. let us go out to the
battlefield and witness the conflict
In Bunyan's Holy War, wherein the
author graphically describes the sub
jugation of the town of Mansoul by
the devil and its subsequent deliv-
erance by Emmanuel. the son of the
good and great King Shaddai. Capt
Resistance is represented as standing
on the walls of the town to defend il
against the attack of the devil, and
it is not until this brave defender
has been killed that the devil is able
to win his conquest over the town of
Mansoul. And how often this scene
is being reenacted to-day. The town
of Mansoul attacked, Capt. Resist

place, goes out to give him battle.

at the mercy of the enemy. Capt.
Resistance may be brave, he may
fight hard, yea even desperately, but
if he is not properly equipped for the
conflict he will at last fall before the
"fiery darts of the Wicked One" Re
sistance must be Intelligent to be eff
fectual. One must understand the
degree and quality of resistance
which turns an attacking devil into a
fleeing devil. There is a resistance
which repels the devil, but does not
his back in such a case. but Just
backs off face front and knows he
has been delayed but not defeated.
The devil isn't made to tremble a bit
in the face of the resistance which
some people offer, for he is quick to
discover that il lacks the true stay
ing qualities. Man fails to equip his
Capt. Resistance with the armor that
can protect and the sword which can
wound the devil and make him flee.

when a nation produces a new and

forts which will offer safe and sure
resistance TO its steel-pointed missiles.
Man has been experimenting for thou
sands of years TO discover some armor
of his own manufacture which will
be able to turn the broadsides of the
devil. but up to the present time we
have never heard of any that was
strong enough to resist. Strange, is

NUR text is not only declaration Of

Gods faithful children in all ages, but
its first clause is a command: Resist

mood. There is no weakening ''if."
James might have said: "If YOU resist

he does not. He bluntly tells you and
me TO "resist the devil" That short,

good many Christians are in NOR
tai terror of giving offense TO the devil
They like to handle him with gloves
and are careful to rub the fur the
right way in order not TO rouse the
monster to raging passion. But Gods
command is: Resist the devil" and
when YOU do God will take care of the
consequences. and it will not be long
before the devil is fleeing in terror.
The passive attitude of Christians is
contrary to the will and purpose Of
God. and violates the spirit or His
Word. The words of Jesus: RESIST
not evil" might be quoted to disprove
this and TO contradict the command
of our text. but if you will take the
pains to read all the section of the
fifth chapter of Matthew. in which
these words occur, you will readily see
that they have their application in mat
tiers of revenge and of persecution.
Those who have been demanding IAN

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. Nov. 13.-In legal fight over
the custody of Wallace Hicks. minor. a
negro jockey, Justice Clarke, in special
term, Part I. Of the Supreme Court. was

court an attempt had been made to en-
force negro slavery in this State.
The alleged attempt to hold young
Hicks in so-called slavery came before the

CREWS ESCAPE BY JUMPING.
Obstruction of Track Will Inter

Two heavily loaded freight trains Of the
Rock Island Railway crashed together in
head-end collision on the old Colorado
Railroad track just west of the Worlds
Fair grounds at 4:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
Both trains were moving at a fairly
rapid rate of speed. and the noise caused
by the contact was heard throughout the
grounds, and attracted crowds OF Exposi-
ton employees and laborers. who were on
their way home from work. to the scene.
The crews OF both engines saved them
selves by leaping from the cabs when
the trains were not more than twenty feet
apart None of the men were injured. but

the point where the collision occurred. In
these the trainmen landed. They had
barely time to scramble UP the high
banks, when debris from derailed and
overturned cars fell where they had been
standing.
The eastbound train. which was being
hauled by engine No. 1877, was bringing
twenty-four cars loaded with gravel and
macadam for constructing Worlds Fair
roads. The ten or eleven cars Immediately
behind the engine were demolished and
their contents strewn along the tracks.
Engine No. 13 hauled the train going
west. 1t was manned by r. Ii. Williams
of No. 56c6 Clemens avenue, engineer, ana
John Foster of No. 807 Manchester ave-
nue. fireman. The conductor OF the train
was William Green.
MANY CARS WRECKED.
The engineers both believed they had
the right-of-way and were steaming ahead
without thought of danger. There is
slight curve where the trains met, which,
with the high banks on the side of the
track, prevented either engineer seeing
the train approaching from the other di-
Tection until they were close together.
As soon as the trains came in sight of
each other the engineers reversed the lev

crash came.
One large box car on the westbound
train was jolted off its trucks and turned
over in the ditch at the north side Of the
track Hardly car on that train escaped

Cars Immediately behind the engine on

splinters. Several of them were derailed
and the couplings and timbers Of others
were demolished.

The accident is especially harmful, as
the track on which il occurred is in con-

bell. special land inspector under the IN
dian Agent, who was indicted by the
Oswego Grand Jury, left here tonight for
Fort Scott to answer the charge.
Campbell made a statement before he
departed in which he said it was true that
he got the money as charged in the In
dictment, but that he asked for 1t. and
got it for friend. He said he did it as
friendly act. and that he at no time sx-
pected to get any part OF the money. The

Baltimore Postmaster Ordered to
Return Salary Paid Dead
head Bookkeeper.
MANY SUCH CASES UNEkRTHED
Asserted That Member of Van
Colts Family Never
Works at Desk
Assigned.
The Republic Bureau.


Washington, Nov. 13.-It was learned at
the Post-Office Department this morning
that a number of cases in which Post
masters have paid salaries to fake" en-
ployes have been unearthed. The accused
Postmasters have been ordered to pay
back to the department the sum repre-
sented by the salary drawn by the useless
employees.
These disclosures were made when Post
master General Payne admitted that
Postmaster Warfield has been ordered to
pay $500. the amount drawn by John W..
Tippitt. who was on the rolls of the Bal
timore Post Office as a bookkeeper at $50
a year, when he was really a solicitor for
q trust company.
Warfield has not yet paid the money,
and it is thought that he is seeking the
advice of counsel. His excuse to the de-
partment was that Tippitt was appointed
to the office by order of George w.
Beavers, who was chief of the Salaries
and Allowance Division.
Mr.. Payne holds that Beavers had no
right to order Postmaster to violate the
law. and that Mr.. Warfleld should have
made complaint to Postmaster General
Smith, with whom Warfield was acquaint-
ed.
As far as can be learned. Mr.. Warfield
made no effort to have the Postmaster
General relieve him from the command to
violate the law. but accepted the dicta-
tion Of Beavers as unquestionable.
Since Mr.. Payne has been in office. he
has received no protest from Warheld
about Tippitt.
The same state Of affairs has been dis
covered in other offices, and the Postmas-
ters have paid up. Mr.. Payne said that
none of the cases which have received ac-
ton so far have been in the New York
Post Office. where Postmaster Van Cott
was accused of having allowed a member
of his family to draw salary for clerical
work which was not performed. The In
spectors are now making a thorough ex-
animation Of the New York office. and 1t
is thought that this family affair will play
a prominent part before they have FIN
ished.
