GOD has mighty and glorious pur-
~ poses to fulfill through His chill
dren to-day. Not all the powers of hell,
or the faithlessness of Christians, can
defeat those purposes. All, the promised
land of realization of the infinite pur-
poses and plans of God always lies just
ahead. Are we as Christians, or is the
church of Jesus Christ, as made up of
, the true believers everywhere, wander
ing about through the wilderness of dis
cipline? Has delay come? Then look
not in discouragement and doubt upon
the dreary wastes about you, think not
of the weary way and the uncertain path
before you, but lift up your eyes until
they rest upon the unfailing promises
of God as they fill the distant horizon
with their glorious light and mark the
boundaries of that land of promise into
which God will lead when the discipline
of the wilderness is ended. Has God
said: Turn you, and get you into the
wilderness" Ere long He will say to
you: go forward" The glorious
Gospel of Christ shall triumph. God
declared on the occasion when Israel
failed Him and He had to turn them
back into the wilderness in disgrace:
But as truly as 1 live, all the earth
shall be filed with the glory of the
Lord" The full realization of that
promise is yet in the future. THE earth
shall be full Of the knowledge Of the
Lord, as the waters cover the sea-"
I'm the dispensation of the fullness Of
time (can you fathom all that meansO
in the dispensation of the fullness of
time, He shall gather together in one all
things in Christ, both which are in
Heaven, and which are on earth; even
in Him." What glorious hope, When
you get into the wilderness of disci-
pline keep your eye on the cloudy pill
lar of Gods presence, and wait pa
tiently. Has God turned you back into
the wilderness? Do not forget that
some day:
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive Journeys run;
His Kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till moons shall wax and wane no more"

FIXING RESPONSIBILITY.

Elfe inspector tuIkersOn VIII Make
an Exhaustive Inquiry.
Chicago, Jan. 4.-The investigation
into the IrOquois fire horror has passed
beyond the stage of cause seeking to
that of fixing the responsibility for
cause. This responsibility has been
taken up by Fire Inspector Monroe
FulkersOn, who has the assistance and
cooperation of the chief of police and

the Promised Land at the first. Purifi-
cation is necessary. In our blindness
and hardness of heart we may not real
ize it. The children of Israel did not
realize it. The next day after their re-
bellion when they awoke to the fact that
they had made a grievous mistake in
not going forward in faith and obedi-
ence. they wanted to rush ahead. But
it was too late! The opportunity was
gone. The nation must now be purged
before it could enter the land. But the
people did not realize it. "They rose up
early in the morning, and gat
them up into the top of the noun
tain, saying: Lo, we be here, and
will go up unto the place which the
Lord hath promised; for we have
sinned." And despite all that Moses
could do they persisted, and great num-
bers fell before the swords of the enemy
A ND in similar manner to-day Gods
n children often act. Conscious at last
that sin has hindered a forward move
for God; but not realizing that purifica-
ton is necessary before they can go
forward, they rush blindly ahead and
meet with disaster and defeat. If the
Lord is found now it must be in the
wilderness of discipline where He
commands His children to go. Back to
the wilderness where you may be puri-
fed and prepared for the next opportun-
ity of entering the promised land of
service! Every night and every day of
those long forty years in the wilderness
were needed for the preparation of the
children of Israel for entrance into the
promised land. Every mile of the jour-
ney had its purpose. Every experience
had its lesson which would prepare and
fit for the entering into the land. And
so it is with the Christian to-day. The
wilderness disciplines may be long and
hard and grieVOus, but it is all blessed
preparation for the work and service
lying just ahead. Refusal to turn back
to the wilderness at Gods command
means unpreparedness which brings de-
feat. The wilderness discipline means
preparation so that the Jerichos shall
fall before our onward march and the
hosts Of the enemy shall fee in terror
It was sad indeed to see Israel refusing
to enter the blessed land of promise and
being turned back into the wilderness,
but after all the wilderness became a
blessedly helpful place because the Lord
was there.

ans. For Moses and Caleb and Joshua

tians For Moses and Caleb and Joshua
to have gone into the Promised Land
would not have fulfilled the promises
and purposes of God. These included
Israel as a nation, and Moses and his
two faithful compatriots must remain
with Israel and wait until the nation was
ready to move forward and take posses
sion of the Promised Land. And does
not this explain why so many times the
child of God is shut I'D in the wilder
ness? He must wait until the large plan
of God which includes all of Gods chill
dren can be realized. And as he waits he
has a ministry to perform in behalf OF
the weaker brother. 1t is blessed for
even the Calebs and the Joshuas in the
wilderness, for the Lord is there.

THE wilderness with the Lord was
l better than the Promised Land
without the Lord. The simple diet of
mama which God gave was sweeter and
more wholesome than all the milk snd
honey and fatness of Canaan without
the Lords blessing. The journey with
the Lord through the wilderness was far
better than to dwell in ease and COM
fort in land apart from God. The Lord
in the wilderness! Think of what that
means! l may not be proud because OF
the sad necessity which brought me
there, but being there, how glad l am
that the Lord is there with me. Are you
in the wilderness, dear brother, dear
sister? Are you rebellious? Have you
shut your heart against God under His
discipline? In the wilderness many,
many rebellious souls perished because
they would not see God. The Lord was
there, but they would not believe it. In
your wilderness experience are you
shutting your eyes to the Lord Who has
been forced to lead you there for your
good? Are you refusing to believe that
He is with you in the suffering, the trial,
the Weariness, the hardship, the danger? +?
Then remember the children of Israel
See how God made the wilderness a
blessing to them. Because His children
fail Him God does not Danish them to
the wilderness alone. No, blessed be His
mercy and love and great faithfulness!
He goes into exile with us. He, tCo
turns His back on the land flowing with
milk and honey and abides with US in
the wilderness until we are again ready
to enter the land. The Lord in the will
derness with us means that the punish
ment will be no more severe or long
than is for our good; it means that the
miserable dross of unbelief and rebel
lion which barred the pathway to the
Promised Land will be purged away, and
that we shall be fitted anew for the op-
portunity of entering when the door
shall again swing ODen.

Points Determined Upon.

Inspector Fulkerson said: Il have de-
termined that the fire originated from
the contact of linen curtain with an
intensely hot and inadequately protec-
ted flood light. l have determined that
the curtain stuck because of a piece of
stage mechanism in normal operation
was directly in the path of the descent
of the fire shield. 1 know that the fire
was driven under the suspended curtain
by the rush of cold air into the stage
when someone opened the stage door.
The Next Step.
Il have evidence that the automatic
skylights over the stage did not open
as they should have done and create
fue through which the smoke, steam
and heated air on the burning stage
could have found vent. 1t is apparent
that the exits were not adequate. The
next step is fixing the responsibility"

JUSTICES
ON THEIR VACATIONS
One Must Be Duty in Summer on Supreme Bench
Each Serves Two Weeks.

After a continuous session Of the Su-
preme Court Of the District of nine
months. extending from October last
until June 90. the presiding justices of
the court are now enjoying their we'll
earned holiday.
In the three months recess each of
the members of the District bench
falls heir to ten weeks holiday. In
only two cases, however, is a justice
lucky enough TO enjoy his holiday for
this length of time I'm an unbroken
period. This is so because according to
the rule adopted by the court in gen.
eral term, the District Supreme Court
never is adjourned, and there must al
ways be at least one member of the
bench on duty, doing what is known as
vacation work.
Method of Drawing.
So it is that only the justices who
draw" the first and last two weeks of
vacation term work" enjoy their ten
weeks Of holiday uninterrupted by a
vacation" period on the bench

An examination Of the decision to

miners are not governed by the decision
In the one paragraph, basing his calou-
lation upon a hundred miners IN order
TO make it quite clear. he says:
should there be 100 miners in a col
Iiery. and a majority Of the loo request
the operator to pay the wages which
they tthe miners) fix for check weigh
men and check docking bosses out OF
deductions made pTOpOTtiOnately, etc,
the whole 100 should make the cOntr!bu-
lions or be subjected TO the deductions.
and the operat tors would be entirely JUS
titled in making the deductions from
the earnings OF each and every one Of
the 100 miners involved
In another para graph he says:

majority of the miners in any COlliCry

auctions shall be made from all the
