Probably Shakespeare did his own

church of Stratford had decided bent
toward Presbyterianism, and there is
reason to think that he did not get

and very wise it is-comes from
Polonius, whom he calls "a prating old
fool" We fear that when he walked
to church with his wife he went no
farther than the porch, but strolled
along the Avon, where he was found
by Susanna and Judith on "a grassy
bank" in close converse with daisies
pied and violets blue and "herb-o'-
grace" as became Sunday. And in
winter he was not sorry when cough

SERMo ETTE.


"And the children of Israel
came up to her for judgment"
TWO thoughts arrest our atten.
tlon in contemplation OF this
declaration. First the desire for
instruction in the thincs of
God On the part of the children
OF israel and, second, the abiI-
ny and privilege of Deborah in
thus mInlsterine the things of
God to those in need.
1t marks an epoch In the life
OF an Individual and a people
when there comes realization
OF need. ! can imagine that pre-

God. There was then no qoinu

But when the awakening
came there began new epoch

! Mans hunger for God never

grace. The soul may take and

And now as to Deborah.
Scripture does not give US the
! particulars of her life and tell
us how she attained to the ex-
8 allied place and title of prophet
\ ess in Israel, but we may be
. certain that II was not the re-

NEW BUREAU TO HANDLE
MATTER OF FAR EAST

WITH the view of placing all diplo-
w matte and consular matters relat-
ing to Japan and China in the hands
of officials familiar with conditions
in the orient, the state department
has perfected the organization of the
Far Eastern Bureau which will
have charge of all correspondence and
preliminary treaty negotiations with
the oriental governments.
This new departure is more or less
in the nature of an experiment, which,
II 1t proves satisfactory, may lead to
the organization of similar bureaus to
conduct diplomatic and consular cor
respondence and negotiations with
the Central and South American re-
publics, European and Asiatic coun-
tries.
Huntington Wilson, third assistant
secretary of state, who, for a number
of years served as secretary to the
American legation and embassy at
Toxic, is in charge of the new bu-
reau. His two assistants are Percival
Heintzleman of Pennsylvania, for
merly student interpreter attached to
The Elbert County tribune., 1907-08-01

the American legation at Peking and
later vice and deputy consul general
at Canton and Dalny. and William
Phillips of Massachusetts, formerly
private secretary to Ambassador
Choate at London and for the last
two years second secretary of the
American legation at Peking.
All of these young diplomats speak
and read the oriental languages. are
familiar with the domestic politics of
the far eastern nations and well
versed in questions of diplomacy now
pending between the United States
and the oriental countries. The pre-
liminary negotiations between this
country and Japan in drafting new
treaty probably will be referred to the
Far Eastern Bureau.
Another important duty which will
devolve upon the newly-organized
bureau will be to consider the numer-
Gus petitions and diplomatic notes"
which are annually presented to the
state department suggesting changes
in the existing treaty between the
United States and China.

A NEW departure in postal cards
"a has been decided upon by the
post office department. Beginning
August 1 the consumer will get more
for his penny than heretofore. The
front side. for years reserved by an
inexorable rule for the address, will
be invaded by advertisements, pic
lures and messages
Postmaster General Meyer has pro-
mulgated an order to this effect A
vertical line will be placed about one
third of the distance from the left
end of the card. The space to the
right of this line will be reserved for
the address, and the remaining por-
ton of the front side may be devoted
to details of how all the children are,
or any other of the things that here
tofore have been confined to the back
side.
For years people have been sending
to the United States from foreign
countries postal cards and post cards

ment postal cards. Some months ago
the United States postal laws and
regulations were amended so as to
give that privilege to buyers of post
cards, but such concession was not
made applicable to postal cards. To-
days ruling will remedy this incon-
sistency and so prevent further confu-

the card and such a paster may bear
