APRIL SHOWERS
Combined With Electrical Displays
Will Be Part of Coming Weather.

P. r. Smith, of Kingwood,
hands in the following forecast for
April:
April is likely to have a number
of dashing showers Of rain attend
ed by electricity. Auroras or
northern lights will show up dur
ing the spring and summer with
much brilliancy. Also haloes-
beautiful circles or rings-will
make their appearance around the
sun berore and after rains, and
sunsets of much beauty will be
natural. Saturn will be in his
equinox on the 10th of April.
This same astronomical condi-
ton took place on July IS, 1892,
the atmosphere and the earth then
being so impregnated with electri-
city that Geographic instruments
failed to communicate messages as
far south as Pittsburg, Pa. In
Boston, Portland, Me-, and the
cities of Canada all Geographic
machinery remained idle IL hours
or more.
The storm wave starting near
the close of March may run into
the st or I'd of April before its
force is expended. Belated sleet
and snow may show up in northern
parts, and even in central sections.
Frost and cool wave will follow.
On or about the 9th and 9TH the
temperature will become warm
and be followed by April rains;
then it will turn much cooler.
On the 18th it will change to
warmer and be followed by rain.
At the close of this period look for
frost about the mornings of the
I4th, 10th and 10th.
From the 10Th to the 2Ist or ED
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1907-04-04

will be a rainy period attended in
some parts by intense gales of
wind. At its close frost will ap-
pear on the 22d and 23d.
The 18th and goth will bring
on more storm disturbance and
cloudiness may continue into the
next period.
The last storm period will be
central on the 28th. Most sections
of this country will be visited by
intense showers of rain, wind and
electrical displays, then followed
on the close of the month by very
cool wave and frost.

Events and persons cluster about
Bethel like filings about a magnet.
Here Abraham had a tent and God
had an altar. Gen. xii, 81 Here
Abraham showed his generous
spirit in allowing Lot first choice
in the PARTITION of the land, and
Lot his uncanny greed in taking
the best portion (xiii). Here Jacob
dreamed (xxviii, Io) and made OBJ
lation (xxxv, IA, 80. 1t was the
depository of the ark, and there
was an altar there to which the
people generally resorted. Judges
Xxx, 49, 1t was one of the holy
cities to which Samuel resorted as
circuit judge. q Sam. vii, I6.)
Elijah e Kings ii, 23), Elisha G.
Kings ii, 23-25), Jehu e Kings X,
2o), are associated with it. Among
the prophets, Amos ", I4-22) and
Hosea xii, 4, 81 refer to it.
x
A foul blot is on the fair record
of this ancient place. Almost con-
tinuously with the pure worship of
Jehovah at this place runs the
worship of local divinities, until
Jeroboam makes calf-worship the
State religion of the Northern
Kingdom. q Kings xii, 80
x y
Strange that a place SO conspic-
uous of the Old Testament is not
so much as mentioned in the New.
Yet Jesus and the apostles must
have been often in this locality.
Probable that the name Bethel
was used with a religious signi6-
canoe before Jacob applied it to
this site. 1t certainly continues
in the same significance; as for
example the chief sanctury Of the
Mohammedan world, the Beithal-
lab of Mecca.

The stoniness of Jacobs pillow
had better not be unduly empha-
sized. 1t was not an unusual
hardship then, nor to this day, in
the East. William Taylor, mis-
slonary bishop to Africa, carried a
stone in his satchel. 1t had a
notch in it as if artifcially made
just to conform to human head
The bishop was wont to supplant
feather pillows with his stone, and
affirmed that it drew the heat from
the head and superinduced to sleep.

The story of Jacob puts no pre-
MUM on craft in the management
of ones affairs. The Lord used
Jacob for holy purposes"-yes;
but in spite of his despicable con-
duct, not because of it. The seal
of Divine disapproval is clearly af-
fixed. Those who think chicane
"a little of it, at least-indispen-
sable to success, find no comfort
or justification in this instance.

Be careful not to make the lad
der of the vision serve too many
purposes. Jesus in His converse

symbol of His Mediatorial work,
which spans the chasm between
God and man, and makes inter
communication possible. That is
enough. John i, SD
