What the Church Folks Are Thinking About and Doing
Religious News From Everywhere.

knew his son best, deputed a servant
to secure wife for him; unlike Isaac's
son, Jacob, who went on this impor-
tant mission for himself. The narra-
tive does not say anything about what
Isaac thought of the wife secured for
him; it merely records that his first
act was to take her into his mothers
tent for the latter's inspection.
When a great famine came upon the
land, Isaac would have fed from it
into Egypt, had not Jehovah stopped
him with a promise of his protection
and sustenance in the land which he
the fact that Gods assurance to Isaac
was not on his own account, but be
cause that Abraham obeyed my voice."
While So1Ournfng in Abimelech'S ter
ritory, Isaac tried to palm off Rebekah
as his sister, to insure his own safety
a craven trick that he had learned
from his father. 1t is always easier to
inherit ancestral vices than ancestral
virtues -
The Man Who Gave Up.
One evening at a dinner sat beside
a good looking, faultlessly dressed
man, brother to one of national fame,
who entertained me by talking or his
ancestors. He Is devoted member or
the Sons of the Revolution, and at
tends all its conventions and Pilgrim
ages and he knows more about his
worthy forbears than they would care
to know about him. For the man reg
istered almost-zero as a man. He did
not have wit or force enough to hold
a ten-dollar-a-week clerkship in the
open market. He was an Isaac, a
mere connecting link between strong
men who have been, and, let US hope
strong men that are to be.
Here was the man Isaac, forever
giving up his inherited and acquired
rights, and ready to abandon the place
of duty at the first sign of danger. He
was prospered in spite of himself; his
wealth was not won by his own worth.
Then, as now, mere riches was no
sign of ability. In personality Isaac
was q pauper. There seemed to be
nothing in the whole range or MS ex-
perience or possessions worth making
a stand for. His honor his WIFE, ms
property, his divine title to the prom
fsed land he would turn his back on
any of these as soon as trouble appear
ed in their vicinity. He reminds one
of the Picking Chinese after the ARRIVAL
of the allied troops in 19OO-a Tor
eigner had only to stare hard at one to
make him drop his possessions ana
scurry away. When Abimelech said
The wells that Abrahams servants
had so toiIsomely dug, the malicious
Philistines had filled up. Did Isaac put
the fear of the Lord into their hearts
for this offense? Not he. True, he aug
out the wells afresh-and then moved
on when the enemy showed hostlle'
face. Then he dug a we'll for himself,
but when the Philistines claimed 1T
Isaac surrendered it and dug another
Again. he gave up at the demand OF his
rivals; and the only we'll he kept was
that which his foes did not want.
A Place for the Fighting Man.
That sort of conduct is likelier to be-
token pusillanimity than peaceableness.
The mighty advocate of peace is not the
man who is afraid to fight, but the one
who knowing his strength, and having
proved it, cheerfully lays down his right

Colusa. where its biggest system of

AS an auxiliary means of providing

pumps have just been installed which
will pump water from the river all the
year around. This section is being
settled rapidly by many eastern people

Bradley, as manager of the Bunker
Hill mine in Colorado, incurred the en-
nifty of the western federation of
miners and was marked for death by
the inner circle, according to Orchard S
statement
Bradley at the time of the explosion
was inclined to ascribe it to leaking
gas, but since he has read the de-
tailed confession of Orchard he is con-
vtnced that the havoc was wrought by
a bomb
Bradley said last night that he did
not believe that he could give any tes-
timony which would be OF benefit to
the defense.
