A ND the reward of the efforts Oh
n those friends was the immediate
and complete deliverance of this man
from the demon which had possessed
him. Jesus did not send him away 20
his home again and tell him to feel
sorry for a few days for his condition.
God only knows how he had been
troubled about it for years. He healed
him at once. And that is the way
Jesus always wants to do. Never need
a soul come to Him and go away again
without the blessing. No agonizing;
no days of darkness and doubt; no
days spent in desperate struggle to try
to win Jesus over to willingness to
give the needed delivcrance. Poor
souls do go through such experiences.
Dut~it is not Jesus will that it should
be so. 1t is because human doubt de-
lays the reception of the blessing
which Jesus is ready to give at once. If
those friends had gone to Jesus with
the request that the following week a.
a certain hour, after there had been a
certain amount of agonizing and doubt
and darkness, He should heal this
man, | doubt whether he ever would
have been saved from his distressed
condition. But they came expecting
immediate relief. and they received the
blessing at once.

Il H. WHAT a bondage Satan is able
to lead into! Strand by strand he
forms the rope of habit until 1t is too
strong for any human will to break.
Link by link he FORCES the chain that
will drag the soul to hell if the power Of
God is not invoked to break it. 1t has
been said that every home has its skele-
ton. But however true or false that may
be, il is true that sin and Satan are the
partners that have articulated every
bone in its hideous body. Certain it is
that God has no part in building the
dark closet and placing therein the hide

the Devils work. He blighted that Cali
leean home. He got such a hold upon
that man that he was made blind and
dumb. And the Devil is busy at his
wicked work. to-day. He makes people
blind to everything that is good and true
and beautiful. He makes their lips
dumb SO that no kindly word is ever
spoken. From the testimony of the
Scriptures it would appear that there
was a special manifestation of the Dew
IFS work at the time when God was so
wonderfully manifesting the light of His
Son to the world. 1t may be that we have
no such aggravated cases of the demon
possessed as those with which Jesus
came in contact. But be that as it may,
it is certain that the work of the Devil
remains to this day. But there are homes
where sin has wrought its terrible work;
where the Devil has taken possession of
some member of the home to such an eX-
tent as to bring the dark shadow. And
when We speak Of the Devil as taking
possession va do MOI roll upon him the
burden of responsibility and let the one
possessed go free of blame. Scripture
says of Judas, the betrayer: after the
sop. then entered Satan into him."
But Judas was responsible for permit
ting Satan to get into his heart. And
so it is with people to-day. The Devil
does take possession, but it is only be-
cause sin, sin, sin, has paved the way
over which he rides into full possession.

THE friends in u text brought this
poor demon-possessed man Just as
he was. If they had waited to put the
man on his feet" as they say to-day. so
that he would be p%resentable to Jesus.
they would have missed the Saviour and
lost the blessing. Many a modern-day
church, where Jesus is supposed to be.
would stand aghast we're such cases as
that of this man brought there. 1t would
want the friends to wait until the demon
possessed nan was temporarily deliv-
cred, and then bring him in stylish
clothes and polite to join the
church. Many and many a man who has
been under the dominion of Satan and
fallen low in the depths of sin has been
Strengthened up by human friends and
encouraged to look within himself for
deliverance from the enemy of his soul.
He is told to keep straight and be a
man" so often that he begins to believe
he can. And perhaps after a time he
thinks he is good enough to join the
church, and join TIE church he does.
But at such deliverance the Devil laughs.
He knows he has a string tied to every
one who tries to do for himself what
Jesus only is able to Go. The poor Devil
driven soul must come to Jesus feet, just
as it is, if Jesus is TO give deliverance.
And the friends of hat demonized man
were wise in bringing him to Jesus with
all the horrible marks of sin upon him.
The churches ought not to be shocked or
s~candalized if such cases come into their
midst. The missions in the slums of our

of the gutter and bring him TO Jesus.
No matter how desperate the case. if you

A PoINTLESS MESSAGE.

A colorless message from The
Sodore Roosevelt on the public IS
sues in which the people are most
concerned was about the last
thing expected, but it is precisely
what we have. His narrative OF
the advancement and progress OF
the country in all the activities
of busy life is a splendid illus
tration of picture painting and
story telling. 1t is difficult to see
how in these respects it could be
improved upon. It's historic and
encyclopaedia character makes 1t
invaluable in these respects; but
the daily papers and the maya
zines tell the same story from
week to week and month to
month. The President is partlcu-
larly careful not to break loose
from the selected narratives and
facts and statistics, and trust him
self with the discussion of general
principles in which the country is
deeply interested and was expec-
tant of pronounced utterance IN
this message. Nothing of the kind
appears in it.
If Mr.. Roosevelt has the cOur-
age of his beliefs he is singularly
deficient in beliefs, and his cour-
age in facing disputed and doubt
full questions is a missing guam
tity. 1t does not appear anywhere
in this long and elaborate treatise
on government and administra-
ton. The intelligent American
citizen will rise from the perusal
of the long document without any
information that the President is
anywhere concerned about the
most important problems Of gov
eminent and administration.
These are certainly the questions
of trusts and corporate and capt.
talistic combinations, which alb
sorb in a great degree the alert
ness and intelligence of the Amer
lean people. The word trust docs
not appear in the message, and
the tariff is not mentioned rs hav-

ity to represent Mr.. Carnegie.
Ordinary prudence would have
dictated first the unlikelihood OF
Mr.. Carnegie needing to give
notes at all, and second the use OF
the telegraph or mail to commun-
icate directly with Mr.. Carnegie
himself as to the genuineness OF
the notes. On top of this, Mr..
Beckwith says that he turned
over a large amount of Endorsed
paper to Mrs. Chadwick upon her
promise and oath not to use it, and
declares that if she did then she
violated her oath. This is a re-
markable tale. Mr.. Beckwith
saws he cannot understand how
he came to engage in this sort of
frenzied finance. Most other peo-
pie will agree that it is inexplica-
BILE until further information is
Forthcoming.
Now. that the Federal officials
have taken hold of the matter it
is possible that some light may
be Forthcoming on this strange
affair. Meanwhile there is so
much being said about it that is

4 NEW FRENZIED FINANCE.

A new kind of frenzied finance
is being illustrated to. the country
by the case of Mrs. Chadwick. AS
the situation appears now vast
sums of money seem to have been
raised by a woman, in dealing
with whom experienced bankers
experienced an amazing lack Of
precaution. According to the con-
fession of President Beckwith OF
the wrecked Citizens National
bank of Oberlin, O., he loaned
large sums of money on the credit
of notes said to have been signed
by Andrew Carnegie, but which
the latter denies having made.
The only precaution the banker
took to convince himself of the
genuineness of the paper was to
have Mrs. Chadwick make oath as
to Mr.. Carnegie having signed the
notes and then accepting the pro-
LESSONS made by a lawyer who
appeared and said he had author

ling any existence whatever. they
are treated as obsolete or non-ex-
istent; yet we have been told FOR
weeks that it was upon these very
questions the President would ne
outspoken in declaring what man
ner of man Theodore Roosevelt
was and is; that he had the cour-
age and experience of the ages,
and would so declare himself in
distinct terms and easily under
stood words the fruitage of his
profound wisdom and completed
craftsmanship. Nothing OF the
kind appears. Even apology or ex-
PLANTATION is discarded.
Considering what the people OF
the country are talking OF, what
they are most concerned about,
what most vigorously enters in
their everyday walk and CONVEX
sation, the Presidents message is
of no more Importance or value
than any one Of his readable his
tories or biographies. Accepting
the Presidents message as meet
ing the constitutional requirement
that he shall give the Congress
and the people information from
time to time of the condition and
needs of the country, the Ameri-
can people are in a somnolent
condition. Mr.. Roosevelt>has lost
the capacity or the courage to
rouse them. He has failed i'll his
duty, either because of a weak
and unstable mind or absolute
lack of courage and self-p0lse.
This mighty man of courage and
self-assertion plainly advertlses
himself, considering what has
been said in his behalf, as a con-
spicuous failure. 1t may be all
true what the President says OF
trades unions and organized capt.
tai and labor, and the progress OF
agriculture and the need OF laws
for the protection Of child labor,
but it has all been said dozens OF
times by statesmen and others
who showed equal capacity and
force, and much greater peril
nence and vitality than the Pres
ident permits the people to ac-
cept from his hands.
The conclusion is irresistible
that the courage and endurance
