LORD CURZON VERY ILL
AILMENTS INCREASED THROUGH
DEATH OF HIS WIFE.
Has Been Suffering for Months with Dis
ease That May Be Fatal to
Him, 1t Is Said.

LONDON, July 2O.-Since the death
of Lady Curzon, the former viceroy is
making no effort To conceal the fact that
he is threatened with Il fatal disease.
and has for months been living in the
shadow of death. lie has consulted the
greatest specialists regarding symptoms
which threaten to cut his life short.
There is some hope of averting the
disease, which, if it becomes malignant,
is utterly incurable. hut it is feared that
the intense grief of Lord Curzon ut the
death of his wife may slacken his vital
powers, allowing the disease to make
lnroadS that may cause him to follow
his wife TO the grave.
President Roosevelt and Ambassador
W hltelaW Reid have sent Lord Curzon
messages of coincidence.
Indian Secretary Morley in 4 speech
today paid Il tribute to the former vice
roy, Lord CurZou of Kedleston. and his
conspicuous, passionate and self-sacri-
hcInS devotion TO the interests of India y
and on behalf of the House he expressed
sympathy with Lord Curzon in the
cruel blow which has desolated his
heart" referring to the death of Lady
Curzon.
In introducing the Indian budget in
the House of Commons today Indian
Secretary Morley sounded warning
note on the necessity of excluding India
from the field of party politics. Any
false step in India would send Great
Britain in a confusion infinitely more
dire and more disastrous than had the
false step taken in South Africa.

FIRST LAW OF CHRIST.
By Rev. John P.

By Rev. John P. Peters.
How is it that We have agreed to-
gether to tempt the spirit of the Lord?
Acts Y. 9.
At the outset the Christians of Jerus-
allen agreed to have all things in COM
mon. Those who had fields and houses
sold them, and the proceeds were put
into the common purse Only a certain
couple. Anantas and Sapphira, decided
that they wished to be Christians and
get the advantages, whatever they
might be, of Christianity without bear
ing all the burden of 1t.
They therefore agreed to cell part of
their property and put the money in the
common purse, but TO represent that
money to be the proceeds of the sale
Of the whole property. They did so.
and were punished by death, visited
upon them miraculously, because they
had tempted the spirit Of the Lord. The
words of the text are the words of st.
Peter, which he addresses to the wom-
an when he accuses her of the con-
spiracy between herself and her hus-
band to defraud God.
This story of Ananias and Sapphire
Is, as l take it, an allegory intended to
express profound Christian truth.
There can be no more complete unity
and community of interest than that
which exists among children of one
household But by virtue of its funda-
mental principles. Christianity is such
8 brotherhood All are children of one
Father-and brothers each of the other.
This relation is the first thought in the
Lords prayer, Our Father, Who art in
heaven" which is the pattern prayer Of
Christendom. 1t underlies the two COM
mandments which our Lord substituted
for the ancient ten-namely, ~ Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart and with all thy soul and
with all thy mind and % Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as myself" Ex-
pressed in terms of property, it ap-
pears in our Lords teaching that a
man should regard himself merely as
the steward, not the owner, of his pos

''PUT YE ON THE LORD"
BY Rev. Frank C. Bruner

put We on the Lord Jesus Christ"
Shakespeare was renowned in the
creation Of dramatic literature The
oet-philosopher was an actor Of all
characters he produced He did not
originate, but put action into old sub
jects. He merely reproduced the ele-
nents In human nature. He did this
by going down into character clear to
the bottom, then climbing up the steep
with his subject into the light.
He who comes into the person of
Christ must do the same thing. The
Church as a sacred body is to so set
forth the attributes of the saviorhood
of the world that it viii reflect his
character to the world. Take the quail
ties of character that flowed with such
radiance from the being of the Divine
Lord, what church begins to reflect a
superb splendOr OF the Prince of Peace
What pulpit initiates the Son of God in
conduct or speech?
The actor Jesus Christ of the sky de-
clared dramatically the character of his
"'i10i wien hc HS'lIl, MY dlHei Work
eth and hitherto | work" Likewise
the church and the individual is to put
on Christ. Reflect his image; express
his love; declare his patience; put on
his beauty of character The practical
bil!ty of religion such as making the
social function Of religious societies
the chief ingredient to save men when
the pure heart that sees God is the SUI
perlative thing.
What the world is needing to-day is
the dramatic setting forth of Jesus by
professors of religion until they can
emulate the life of our Divine Lord in
the beautiful experience "for me to live
is Christ"

sessions: that is. that his property is
not his - enjoy for himself, but only
u administer Ior the greatest good OF
his brethren.
10 man IS true Christian who has
not made the fundamental surrender
OF himself and all that he has to Cod
II and through his fellow men. lie
WHO protesting the name OF Christian
~, still regards worldly goOds--Ais
powers. his talents. his knowledge. the
wealth which he has inherited or ac-
4uIreG-;,s his Tor his own amusement.
POI his own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. for the en-
rlchment OF his children and not Tor
the service OF his brother men, has
tempted the spirit of the Lord. and
his punishment is spiritual death. lie
cannot know God, tor God is love. but
to know God is TO possess eternal life.
and not to know God is to be dead etar-
nally.
This is the fundamental truth OF
Christianity, above all expressions of
creeds. \ man may believe with his
mind and express with his lips belief
IL all the doctrines of the Christian
church. unless he makes the surrender
of himself and what he possesses he
does not in fact believe in Christ.
True belief in Jesus Christ is the
acceptance rs the rule of life of the
spirit OF Christ, the spirit of service
and sacrifice. To choose as the stand
ard and the aim of ones life self-ad-
Yancement or self-pleasinS instead Of
the service of ones feIlows-above all.
to make ones very profession of relig-
ion means OF self-profit-that is the
sin against the Holy Spirit which may
not be forgiven, neither here nor here
after. That is the meaning and the
lesson of the parable OF Ananias and
Sapphira. who agreed together to tempt
the spirit of the Lord
