Lesson Thoughts.
There is no distress, no trouble, no
suffering. out of which God is not able
and as willing as he is able. to deliver
his people. He will never refuse his
grace, which is sufficient for every
need.
Life's storms would overwhelm us
If we had not divine protection. 1t Is
the part of wisdom to take our
troubles to God.
1t is good to cry unto the Lord in
trouble; but how shamefully men for
get to praise the Lord for his good
ness"
Selections.
Thy burden Is Gods gift.
And it will make the bearer calm and
strong.
Yet, lest it press too heavily and
long.
He says. Cast 1t on me.
And it shall easy be"
And those who heed the voice
And seek to give it back in trustful
prayer
Have quiet hearts that never can de.
spair;
And hope lights up the way
Upon the darkest day.
Burdens are not unmixed evils.
Saints are often the most heavily
laden. When God tries, he Is not look
ing for guilt, but for gold. 1t is then
sometimes to be interpreted as a mark
of divine favor when a soul struggles
forward under the. heavy weight OF
affiiction or disaster. Whatever is
God-given need cause no dismay. 1t is
not the burden. but the purpose of It,
which We are to study.
o, shadowed heart, cease thy repining,
A loving Father knows thy care;
This cloud must be of his designing,
Because faith sees the silver lining
That proves his constant presence
there.
Prayer-Oh that men would praise
the Lord for His goodness, and for His
wonderful works to the children of
men! We do thank Thee. our merciful
heavenly Father, that Thou dost con.
stantly watch over us, protecting us
from dangers seen and unseen, and
giving us blessings far beyond what
We are worthy to receive. When
storms Of trouble and temptation meet
us, and we cry unto Thee. bring us,
We beseech Thee out of our distress.
es, and give us perfect peace in the
assurance Of Thy loving protection.
Now. accept our praises which we
offer in Jesus name. Amen.

LAND FRAUD CASES.
Question as to the Jurisdiction of the
Court.


San Francisco. March 3O.-Argument
was resumed today before United
States Commissioner Heacock in the
extradition case of +. A. Hyde and II.
=. DimOnd. who were indicted by the
grand jury i'm the District of Columbia
on a charge Of obtaining public land by
fraudulent means. Attorney Wheeler.
for the defense. declared that the Dis
trict Of Columbia had no right to try
the case, a the sixth amendment to the
constitution of the United States pro-
vides that when a crime is committed
the trial for the same shall be held in
the district and state in which the
crime was committed.
Attorney Heney for the prosecution
admitted. for the sake of shortening
argument, that for the offenses charged
against Hyde and Dimond the trial
could take place either in Oregon or
California. but under the Indictment
such could not be the case as the in
dictment charges the crime to have
been committed in the District of CO.

Under this admission Attorney
Wheeler claimed his contention was

A. r. Push. assistant attorney Of the

Wheeler denied that the indictment
charges any offense committed outside
Of the District of Columbia. No men
ton is made of any crime committed
ia the state of Oregon or the state OF

sarlly take place in Washington.

TIMBER AND STONE ACT.
For And Against Repeal
by Western congressman.


Washington, March 30.-A hearing on
senate and house bills for the repeal OF
the timber and stone acts Of the public
lands was held today by the house
committee on public lands. Repre-
sentative Hogg of Colorado vigorously
protested against repeal of these laws,
and Representative Reeder of Kansas
favored their repeal. Mr.. Reeder as
serted that the public lands of the
country were being disposed of under
these acts at an alarming rate, and at
a price $3.50 per acre. much below
their real value. In this way the valu
able timber and stone lands We're being
acquired by large holders. Millmen
and lumbermen We're acquiring timber
lands. and the stone lands were being
gathered in by quarrymen. A man
would buy 100 acres at $3.50 per acre
and then sell the same To a company.
Mr.. HoSg maintained that if the re-
peal bills were reported Colorado should
be eliminated from their operation. The
men who acquired land under the tim
Der and stone acts in his state were
poor men, and If they did sell to a cor
poration they made a profit on the
deal which was perfectly legitimate.
The committee postponed considera-
ton to Friday.
