"REIOICR"- "TREMBLE. I"

IN Psalm % and verse | We read:
THE Lord reigneth, let the earth re
jolce. let the multitude Of isles be glad
thereof" while in Psalm 90 and verse /
we find these words: "The Lord reign
eth, let the people tremble, he stitch
between the cherubims let the Earth
be moved" Istherea any Inconsistency
here? Or Is there a distinction be
tween earth and people, ~ the
"isles" and the man? We think not
and yet the finite should not under
take 10 grasp the infinite.
We can recall the perfect day in
Spring when land and sea, earth and
sky, mountain and valley, forest and
flower gardens did seem 10 rejoice To-
gether and be glad, and then We can
recall other days Of storm and tempest
when the solid earth did tremble, and
when the seas were dashed into fury
Was the pSalmist drawing contrast like
that? And il so can like contrast be
applied TO the life of man? We think
NO. Nature isnOt alone moved by storm.
There are seasons In the life OF every
human being when the soul is flooded
with sunshine, and then again when
II is swept by storm, and are We not
taught in the one state 10 recognize
that the same God who sends the one,
sends also the other, though at the
touch Of the one power we rejoice, and
~ that Of the other we tremble? We
do not know that Christ while on
earth ever smiled, but we somehow |
feel that there were some moments |
along the blood-stained way when he |
too enjoyed the sunshine and the
flowers more than at others, for we do
know that he kept at the grave Of
friend, and sgonized in garden.
The God who made the earth is as
truly the God Of the storms as Of the
sunshine, and so is as truly our loving
father when trouble comes as when
every prospect pleases." No one Of
us is justified in reading any one verse,
or chapter, or book Of the Bible and
there rest
All Scripture is profitable, and the !
man who neglects is doing himself in I
finite harm. 1t is the only correct
time table between earth and heaven. !
Consult IL and make no mistake.

Ii is said that the Government is
swindled out Of millions of acres OF
valuable timber lands each year, and
this is a startling statement. 1t does
look that man should be caught in

with millions is something great. +"

In the deal and it may not be lparty

SEPARATION ASSURED.
Church and State Bill Passes the French
 Icpatiea.

Church and State Bill Passes the Frencn
 Deputies.
 Paris, July 3.-The bill for the sepa- ration of church and State passed the Chamber of Deputies late tonight by the decisive vote of 341 to 233. The result was greeted by governmental cheering and opposition misses, and there was intense excitement.
 When the result was officially given out there was renewed clamor, par ticipated in by those in the crowded galleries and Hobbies. as well as by those on the floor of the Chamber.
 This most important legislation, af- firming the long established social and religious conditions of France. becomes an accomplished fact so far as the Chamber of Deputies Is concerned. Sup porters of the Government congratulate themselves on concluding before the long vacation the heavy task which has occupied almost the entire of the lower house since March g. The opponents of the measure utilized every means to prevent the bill becoming a law be- fore the approaching general election. moving no fewer than 225 amendments, which were rejected.
 the enactment favorably through the house showed a very reasonable spirit by accepting suggestions from all sides. in order to render the bill as liberal as possible. at the same time taking every prOcaution to avoid leaving loopholes for political intrigue.
 The broad principle of reform. how ever Is permitted to stand. fulfilling the long expressed desire of advanced re- publicans to see the state entirely un- trammelled by connection with any religion or sect. The system swept away by this bill dates from 1907, when the famous Concordat was signed by Plus VII and Napoleon. This gave re- ligion governmental status. the churches being government property with the clergy paid by the state and the entire church administration being under the direction of a member of the presidents cabinet. The new system amends all laws and religions under the concordat and terminates the au- thority of the concordat itself. The general principle of the measure as finally adopted by the Chamber of Deputies Is as follows:
 The republic assures liberty of con- science and guarantees the free exer- else of religion, subject to the restric- tions of public order. The republic neither recognizes pays stipends to nor subsidies any sect, but provides funds for colleges, hospital and asylum chap lains.
 The most active contest took place over the proposition whereby the prlce- less riches of the church. consisting of collections made by the churches dur ing many centuries of paintings. tapes tries and statuary, were to be passed to the State. This was finally modified so that civil organizations retain con- trol of the goods of the church. One of the last amendments adopted pro- hibits members of the clergy becoming members of or holding other municipal offices during the eight years succeed ing the adoption of the law. This was bitterly contested on the ground that ] 1t created class distinction. which 1t was | the theory of the bill to terminate. i Rigorous provisions are made against clergymen taking any active part In | politics.
