Reading and Obeying the Law.
Upon the stone pavement, i'll the
great plaza in Jerusalem, a great
throng was seated in the gray of
the morning. 1t has been various
ly estimated at between twenty
and fifty thousand. Parents have
brought their children in hopes
that the scene will be caught on
the sensitive plate of memory
Over there was the gate through
which the Gideonites fetched wa
ter for use in the temple. Behind
them was the temple itself-monu-
ment of the pious zeal of the re-
turned exiles, inclosing all, the
walls, completed only seven days
before; in the midst, rude plat
form, such as we see at our modern
hastings.
In obedience to the note of the
silver trumpet, this uncommon
multitude had gathered at the
Feast of the New Moon, at the
opening of the seventh month,
crowned the sacred festivals. And
the people, of their own accord :,
having a premonition that the
voice of prophecy would cease,
and that they stood on the edge of
the silent centuries, had request
ed that they might hear the writ
ten Word.
Ezra, the second Moses, the
second founder ofthe Jewish State,
assembled the wooden pulpit, ac-
companied by thirteen of the most
influential Levites. Just as the
sun rose he held aloft the yellow
scroll. AS before the sun the
darkness Of nature rolled back,
so the Lamp Of the Word was
about to remove the darkness of
their minds-a darkness intensified
by the captivity and subsequent
neglect.
At sight of the book of the law
the people rose in token of their
reverence. No doubt, as Ezra
held up the hand-written volume
he uttered an exclamation of praise
to God, that out of the wreck of
the past this treasure had been
preserved. He may have used the
very language David did on the
occasion of the peoples gen crosby
toward the temple building fund
BLESSED be Thou, Lord God of
Isreal, our Father, for ever and
ever!" A hundred thousand
hands went up toward heaven and
fifty thousand tongues raised the
response, "Amen! Amenl"
Now the vast audience compos-
ed itself so listen to the reading of
the law. The ears of all the peo-
pie were attentive unto the book.
There was rapt, devout, sympath-
etic listening. And this good list
ening was matched by equally
good reading No wonder it is

was better qualified to do so. He

The Sabbath question is two
thousand years old, if not six
thousand! Those who think it is
a question incident to the pro-
gress of the twentieth century be-
tray their ignorance of that historic
volume, the Book of Nehemiah.
The same principles maintain
now as in Nehemiah's day. The
secularization of the days begins
in the same way now as then.
What cured Sabbath dissertation
then will cure it now.
This Sabbath question is a per
sonal question as we'll as a nation
al one. Decline in piety and USE
tulness usually begins with the
neglect of Sabbath duties, and then
proceed to the active proclamation
of the day. The door of the
hearts temple must be shut against
the stream of worldliness on the
eve of the Sabbath, and not opened
until after the Sabbath.
"All the people wept." Conduct
measured by the Bible produces
contrition. The Divine ideal of
character put opposite the literal
human character brings compunc-

persistent introspection is posi-

feelings" is a morbid business.
There is wholesome oblivion of the
past by means of which actual
progress can be made. Joy is
strength. Sorrow is weakness.

itent is Ike stronghold.
"Chiefs of the fathers. " The

FOregleams of universal brother
hood are not wanting. The Jews
were commanded to remember

How a Typhoid Patient Was Treated

The Newton correspondent of the
Charlotte News gives a new sort of
treatment for typhoid fever as fol-
lows:
Your correspondent, like other
people, lives and learns. He discov-
cred yesterday that a toad applied to
the foot of a fever patient and kept
there, would certainly cure the pa
tient. 1t may be that the same is a
well known remedy, known of old,
but it is new here. A young man in
this county has been very low with
typhoid fever for several weeks; so i'll,
in fact. that the physicians gave him
up to die. Another Young man once
suffered with typhoid and took the
frog treatment and was cured, and so
the treatment was applied to the pa
tent mentioned with gratifying re-
suits. The young man is reported as
convalescing. The toadS, the story
runneth, turn green and die, having
drawn all the fever from the patient.

but it is tough on the frog

one of the grandest, greatest and

greatest victories of her life. 1t shows
that she was not battling for power
