his YOKE Is EASY.
By Rev. Henry M. Barbour

ny new. hcuTy III. barbour.
Take my yoke upon you and learn
Of me-" st. Matt. XII 30.
There are those who consider that,
In these words, our Lord referred not
to a yoke and burden which He was
to place upon u.s. but to the yoke and
the burden which He Himself bore.
Come unto me-" they explain His
words as meaning, study My example.
My yoke is easy. My burden is light.
Be meek and lowly in heart, as l am,
and yours shall be easy, yours shall
be light" There are troubles and sor-
rows in the world which, so far as we
Of their own, which belong to their lot
In life, to that state into which it has
pleased God to call them.
These sorrows our Lord does not
promise to remove. But He points to a
means by which they may be borne.
And what matters it whether you light
en- the load or strengthen that which is
to bear the load?
Weight Is but relative term. That
which overtakes a fragile vehicle is but
light burden for one that Is strongly
built st. Paul was imperiled, impris-
oned scourged, shipwrecked, famished
a-thirst, but none the less he cried: Il
reckon that the sufferings Of this pres
ent time are not worthy to be com.
pared with the glory that shall be re-
vealed." st. Paul was not heavy laden.
You have some load to bear and you
feel that you can hardly sustain 1t lon
ger. You yearn with all your heart for
something that you cannot have Some
terrible grief Is gnawing at your soul.
You have been unfortunate. Prosper
ity seems to have turned her back upon
you. He looks upon you in pity and
in love, but He says in effect: II can
not grant your petition. You know not
what you ask. Your lot Is ordered for
your good. But look back upon My life.

had not where to lay My head. l died
on the cross, yet My yoke was easy,

life ! had peace, peace which l left
for My followers for all time. Come
unto Me- Be patient be meek, be low
ly. Learn Of Me, and, whatever your
yoke and burden, you shall find rest
unto your soul"
And what except rest unto our souls
are we living for? What one thing Is
there that is worth the having If 1t
bring not that? In the commercial
world mans ability, his skill, his ex-
perience, are valued not at some detin-
ite figure, but, by the inevitable law Of
supply and demand, they are worth at
any time and In any given place pre-
cisely what they will bring. Just so. it
is with the apparent advantages Of this
life. They are worth only what they
bring
A man may seem to want for moth
ing He may be envied Of all and yet
be utterly destitute. Another may be
bereft of friends, health, possessions
and yet be living in abundance be-
cause he has that which the world with
its utmost favor cannot give, which the
world with its utmost cruelty and scorn
cannot take away. He has learned of
Christ and his yoke is easy and his
burden is light.

of this devoted man, whose whole ambi-
ton was to do for others who needed
to know the gospel.
All men are captives. We are so
constituted that it cannot be other.
wise. Some are In bonds to evil in
fiuences, passing unholy lives, taking
apparently sort of pleasure in their
captivity to Satan. Regarding them
selves, however, as the only true free
men, they look upon moral men-espe-
cially Christians-as under a silly mis-
| take
why should grown persons" they
say bind upon themselves the burdens
of truth, decency, church attendance,
soberness and the like? How much
wiser to get out of life the pleasure
that Is in it. Be free from those con-
ventionalities. Have your own way
no matter who is made to suffer for it.
Get all the money you can, no matter
how it is gotten, and spend it so as
to get the most pleasure out of It."
And these men have chosen to live
In that fashion. 1t was prerogative to
make a choice. They have chosen to
be captiyes to vice-just as truly cap
tives as Is the poor wretch who frets
behind iron bars in stone-walled
prison. He has by his own voluntary
deeds brought himself into confine-
ment, and they, by their own choice,
have bound themselves in servitude to
their accepted master.
Turn to a Christian captive-the pris-
oner Of Jesus Christ. He, too, has
chosen his own peculiar form Of re-
straint He has voluntarily resigned
his liberty into the hands of Jesus. He
Is hemmed in by certain laws-restrict-
ed In his motions by certain bonds.
There are forms to which he must be
stranger. There are some so-called
freemen with whom he must not asso-
ciate. He must be careful in choosing
even his thoughts. What hard lot
is his.
And yet, saints and apostles-yes, all
those who have really helped this world
have declared the lot Of a Christian
as freedom Saint Paul himself refers
to 1t as '"The glorious liberty of the
children Of God" Has 1t, then, ben
eft? Assuredly so, though 1t Is not like
that which binds men to any other mas
ter. All others have their own good
In view in dealing with their followers.
They are all selfish. They seek men to
follow them for what can be gotten out
of the following.
The divine master, however, has
somewhat to give his adherents, and
1t Is somewhat that Is lasting. Mems
institutions, even the very best, can last
but few years, while His Is eternal.
Their best promises of good to be
gained are based upon superstitlous
ability and temporary fancy, while
His willingness, faithfulness and abil-
ity to do are absolute and tested by the
experience Of millions Of strong souls
In all ages.
With testimony from many souls, in
all generations, we are passing wise to
have placed ourselves in the prison
house of Jesus Christ, and with Saint
Paul again we must each one say: "I
am not ashamed Of the gospel of Christ,
for 1t is the power Of God unto saliva
tiOn."

Algeciras Expects Kaiser
To Throw Up Sponge Today

ALGECIRAS. March s.-The critical
session of the Moroccan conference will
be held today. and it is expected that
the policing question will be up for
discussion, and. perhaps, fer settlement.
The impression among the neutral
delegates is that, at the last. Germany
win Tecede from her irreconcilable posi-
ton and consent to the intTusting of the
sendarmerie to France and Spain, under
the plan which was submitted by the
French delegates. 1t is understood that
Baron RadOwitz has at last obtained the
consent of the Kaiser TO make this con-
cession IN the interest of peace.
At t0day's session of the conference,
the Austrian representatives advanced a
scheme for police suPerV ision in Moroc-
co which, it is hoped. may lead to the
settlement of the disa agreement on this
subject.
The Austrians urged that the policing
of the country be left to the control Of
France and Spain. under the direction
of an officer to be named by the neutral
powers.
The German delegates promised to ex-
anime the proposal carefully. Many be-
lieved that 1t viii be possible to reach
an agreement on such basis.

Russia Has Made Germany

BERLIN. March S.-Intense indigna-

here at Russia's action In throwing of
her attitude of reserve and standing
squareIy by the side of her ally with
the DrOpsition that the control of the
force for policing Morocco shall be in
trusted 10 France and Spain jointly
This with Great Britain's intention,
made unmistakable from the first, Of
throwing in her lot with France should
the quarrel be forced TO the arbitra-
ment OF arms, has compelled general
recognition of the fact that the game
is up, that no more concessions can be
obtained, and that Germany must now
show her hand and back down.
At least, some such reserve as that
shown by the United States was eX-
pected from Russia after the support
given TO Russia by Germany during her
disastrous war with Japan Ingratitude
is talked of, and this. it is bitterly COM
mented, is what the Kaiser gets for al
lowing Germans to be illtreated on the

The Swearers Saved the Ship.


Col. John F. Stone of the Rush City
Post was a gallant soldier in the war
OF the rebellion. He served in the
Ninth Maine Inf, and in a recent is
sue of the Post he gives racy and
decidedly interesting account of a trip
made in a rotten hulk of transport,
the ''Coatzcoaleos'' from Fortress
Munroe to Port Royal in 1861. A
fearful storm ragged for twenty-four
hours, the old tub of transport be-
haved badly and few of the Ninth
Maine boys ever expected to see Port
Royal or any other port this side OF
kingdom .come.' But the gale
finally subsidized, a landing was ef-
fected and the regiment disembarked
without the loss of man. Col. Stone
asserts that, "The captain and mate
were pure gold, and to them and the
level headed soldiers is due the credit
of saving the ship. If they had joined
the prayer circle, there would have
been no Ninth Maine to do battle for
the Union. Out of twelve hundred
men that were aboard the vessel not
more than a hundred were of any use
when the crisis came. Some of the
scenes were SO ludicrous that the
seriousness of the situation was
knocked out of time. Prayers and
swears were promiscuously intermin-
gled, but the swearers were all doing
their best to make good.
