> state OF spiritual life in the ma
ton, which encouraged a super
stItlous regard for the outward
signs and symbols Of religion,
led the children Of Israel Into
the sacrilege Of bringing the ark
forth from the holy OF holes and
using II as fetish to give
them victory over their enemies.
They Lad seen the heather ma
tions about carrying their gods
into battle. Why should they
not find In their religion similar
encouragement and help? And
so the army OF Israel, defeated
in the preliminary skirmish with
the PhiIistines, takes up the cry,
saying: LET US fetch the ark OF
the covenant Of the Lord out of
Shiloh unto US, II may save US
out of the hand of our enemies"
This they did, the corrupt and
base sons Of Ell giving ready
consent and going with the ark
into battle And what follows
is but the Inevitable frultaee Of
this long series of sinful acts.
Defeat and destruction for the
army Of Israel, loss of the sacred
emblem OF Gods presence In
their midst, and bitter servltude
to their victorious foe.
What lessons may be drawn
from this dark period, from
these tragic events. First Of all,
we must recognize the lmmi-
hence Of God In all the affairs
Of life. Though he was forgot
ten and dishonored he was
moving In human events to the
vindication of his name and the
punishment of sin. We here find
but the fulfiIiment of what God
said would come to pass. Gods
warning had come to the house
Of Eli, but regardless of the mes
sage, the sons of Eli and the ma.
ton of Israel plunge to their
ruin. We may forget God, we
may be living in sin and yet
strive to maintain an outward
form of religious observance, I'M /.
til at last the mere ceremonial
becomes the fetish, the charm,
the taIisman which we think
will give us help and deiiverance
In the dark hour. In that fatal
hour of battle Israel discovered
that their help did not lie In
that mere creation OF wood and
gold; that Its presence with
them, and the careful observance
Of their forms of worship did not
ircure them victory. And so Is
1t ever true. Religion is a thing
apart from things and outward
forms and ceremonies. Reli-
gion is a thing of the heart, and
the heart cannot become the
holy of holes In which God will
take up his dwelling place ex-
cept as sin is repented of and
cast out. This is the second
thought, then, which we would
emphasize. That even though
God is imminent always in the
Welfare of man, he Is far, very
far, from the individual heart
that is given up to its own lusts
and desires. And let US not for
get that while sin Is in the
heart and the life, the presence
and favor of God cannot be won
by zeal In religious forms and
ceremonies. It Is the heart which
repents and turns from sin that
can hope for the Divine pres
ence.

And thirty to spare,
But his boy like his mothers folks
All peaked pale and fair.
And he drove old Bucksin mare

Squers himself to ride.
And every time he passed our house,

And Squiers would make the boy get out
And walk up every time.

AS he stopped to let her blow

DRAMATIC SCENE.
Ministers and Cabinet Persuade Emper- ap f0 AhAieafe

Ministers and Cabinet Persuade Emper. l or to Abdicate.
 l Seoul July 19.-It Is reported that
 a most dramatic scene occurred at the
 palace Thursday night when the min-
 isters. headed by Premier Vi Wang
 Yong. appeared before his majesty and
 made the cabinets final representation
 in urging the Emperor's abdication. | His majesty was in a high state of ex- citement, but the premier, in an hum- ble, but firm tone. dwelt at length upon want of precaution and prudence Of the emperor's policies heretofore. especially in diplomatic affairs. where-
 by he was endangering the safety of
 the nation. The premier enumerated the facts of his majesty's duplicities which eliminated in the despatch of . deputation to The Hague conference and forcibly reasoned the uselessness of the emperor's disavowa1 of The Hague affair.
 Unable to successfully combat the logic of the premier's representation, the emperor sought last refuge in the council of elder statesmen. doubtless anticipating their sympathies. The council immediately convened. Four elders responded and appeared before his majesty at 1 o'clock this (Friday) morning. The emperor's disappoint- ment and surprise was boundless when they unanimously agreed with the min- ister's advice. His matesty's mind was finally made up. and he consented to the draft of an imperial rescript an- nouncing his abdication which was placed before him for his signature.
 The emperor's condition was inde- scribable. Greatly agitated and per turbed, he signed the document and the seal was af1xed in impressive sil- ence A suppressed sigh from the em- peror was the only sound which broke the death like stiffness that reigned throughout the memorable scene.

Police at Palace Gate Armed With Carbines.
 Seoul, July 19-A crowd of 5000 Koreans has been beaten back from the palace gates. During the audience with the cabinet last night when the
 emperor acquiesced to the demand for
 abdication. a number of students at- tempted to present a petition to the em-
 peror but the police prevented them
 from doing so, driving them back east
 of the palace where they remained all
 night making speeches.
 At midnight, chief of police Maru-
 yama distributed carbines to the police
 and while the crowd continued to in- crease, it remained orderly. The
 elaborate ceremony of transferring the imperial seal to the crown prince Is in
 progress this afternoon. Some shops
 are closed because of. the sympathy of their proprietors with the emperor ana the streets around the palace are filled with people.
 The Japanese papers have published some sensational rumors but there Is no indication of a revolt. The Korean Official Gazette is now circulating on
 the street, the first official announce
 ment of the abdication which was signed by the emperor and seven minis- ters in favor of the crown prince. At the Japanese residency Marquis Ito and Viscount Hayashi in an answer to an inquiry of the correspondent or the Associated Press regarding the CT feet of the emperor's action, its impor- tance in effecting a settlement of the whole Japanese orean situation and whether or not 1t was in accordance
 with the plans of Japan. said they were
 not prepared at present to make state ment
 Marquis Ito replied that the matter
 wholly concerned the emperor of Korea
 and not himself, as the representative of the Empire of Japan. Furthermore
 Marquis Ito declared the caplhets
 whole course of action was based on it's
 own initiative.

New York July 19-An interesting | situation developed in the continued ex- | animation of District Attorney Jerome | before Supreme Justice DaytoR. when Clarence J. Shearn. counsel for w. R. Hearst tried to obtain the list of con tributors to the campaign fund raised for MT. Jerome prior to his last elect ion as District Attorney. After a long argument, it was decid- ed by the court that if MT. Jerome had the list under his control he was to produce it in court for the court
 If it is not under MT. Jeromc's con- trol, then I can do nothing" said the justice.
 The list was in the hands of Howard S Cans a former assistant district at torney MT. Jerome said he never knew anything of the list aId never saw it. Mir Cans is now in Europe. having sail ed a week ago. He will not return for a month.
 MT. Shearn said he was willing to give MT. Jerome reasonable time to produce the list.
 MT Jerome's examination is being conducted in connection with his >libel suit for $250,00 0against MT. Hearst's newspaper.

 Mir Shearn replied it was fair to presume that the list existed and that 1t was important that he have the same opinion on which to base a fur ther examination of the District Attor- ney. Justice Dayton said that he was not aware of any authority which per mitted him to adjourn. while third party was examined in order that Je- rome might then he examined upon the new evidence.
