SERMON ETTE.

SERMONETTE.
1.-THE Lord judge between
me and thee, and the Lord
avenge me of thee: but mine
hand shall not be upon thee
The words of David to Saul fol-
, lowing his remarkable expert
ence in the cave when King
Saul came into his power, and
when he Withstood the strong
, temptation to Kill him. 1t was
a most remarkable exhibition
} OF seIf-contros, of noble-hearted
magnanirity, of faith In God.
About year later a similar OPP
portunity of taking SauI's life
came to David, but as on the
first occasion he withstood the
pleading of his companion, as
we'll as the temptation of his
own heart.
Here was one of the supreme
testing times which was to prove
his worthiness for kingship. He
must rule his. own spirit before
!. he could rule a Kingdom. In
the strict terms of justice he
could rightfuIly have taken
Sauis life. The natural desire
and the sense Of seIf-preserva-
tlon dictated such a course. 1t
seemed as though it must be
either SauI's life or his own life,
and when seemingly by provi-
Dental intervention his enemy
had been placed within his pow
, er, why should he not be
avenged of the bitter wrongs
and prosecutions which he had
been forced to suffer, inas-s
} much also as God had spoken
good concerning him and had
promised him the kingdom?
But no, with marvellous self,
control, he held himself in
check, refusing to give reign to
the unworthy Impulses which
sought for qualification.
Thus was the noble, large
heartedness of his nature called
Into expression. BY the check
ing of the lower, the higher had
opportunity of expansion and
growth. And this is one of the
important laws governing the
development Of character. The
suppression Of unworthy i'm
pulses works not only a mega
tive but a positive good. 1t not
only roots out the bad but it
puts new life and vigor into the
good. Try 1t in your own life
and see.
But the supreme and the SUBJ
lime motive governing David in
this instance was his faith In
God. His vision was fixed above
the mere human circumstances
and conditions. He had come
TO realize that interviewer with
the warp of human endeavor :
was the wool of the divine plan.
He knew that behind the human
judgment was the judgment of
God. He knew that all that (
life had that was worth gaining 5
was not to be desired except the (
Lord gave, even though it were 5
riches, honor and a kingdom.
He knew he could safely trust 5
with God his all. That If he (
Were wronged God would uIti- 8
nateiy vindicate him. That If (
a kingdom was to be his God :
would give 1t. And as we con- (
slider the subsequent events of Z
David's life we see how com-
P1etely such faith in God was {
justified. And will he not do
even more abundantIy for you (
and me?

Republican Victories in Massachusetts.


AS John F. Fitzgerald of Boston re-
ceived 44,171 votes in 1905 and only &c.
OBI last Tuesday, it is evident that
MANY thousand Boston Democrats re-
fused to endorse at the polls the cor
ruption and crookedness which have
characterized the regime of the Fitz-
gerald dynasty Boston is normally a
Democratic city by many Thousand ma
jority and the election of Postmaster
Hrbhard, the Republican candidate, by
a margin of over 1000 votes, is a SPLEEN
did triumph for the cause of good
government and Boston may well be
proud Of its days work. In view of the
disclosures of the investigation of
municipal affairs which preceded the
election, it is not to be conceived that
the pee pie of Boston will ever again al
low Honey" Ftz and his gang to get
back into power.
An Incidental feature of the Boston
election which also calls for congratu-
Iation was the defeat of Mrs. Julia
Duff, commonly known as the political
Carrie Nation of Boston. in her candi-
dacy for the school board. Her earlier
record on the board and her temper,
conJ act and uttcrances during the
campaign, made her distinctly inelfgf-
bic for membership in body whose
operations should be marked by wis
dom, conservatism. decency and re-
gard for public opinion. Not single
newspaper endorsed her candidacy and
the good government organizations and
public school organizations condemned
it in the strongest terms. And yet by
her methods of appealing to the g-
norant and prejudiced she was Tor
mida factor. and the friends of the
Boston schools did not breathe easily
until the returns came in which showed
her defeat.
Not only in Boston but in the other
Massachusetts cities which held cleo
tons Tuesday. were the results ex-
tremcly gratifying to the Republicans
Of the Bay state and elsewhere. Six
teen other cities Of the commonwealth
elected mayors upon that day and in
not 4 single instance where party lines
were drawn did Il Democrat gain cleo
ton Cambridge. Chicopee, Chelsea
Holy oke, Lowell. Lynn. Meirose. New

ter elected Republican mayors by
pluralities ranging from "A in Cam
bridge to about 300 il Lynn. Newton
and Somcrville. In Worcester which
wds Democratic last year, the Republi-
can candidate received nearly 20OC
plurality. In the other cities of the
list Iarty contests were not Waged. and
nom partisan or citizens candidates

Another Nobel Prize for America.

For IL second time ore of the Nobel
crican. The hrSt American to get IL
Nobel prize. as everybody knows. was
President Roosevelt who was given the
peace prize last year. Among this
wears awards is found a name less
widely known, tn" name of Professor
Albert A. Nicholson who has been the
sity for the past il years. Professor
Nicholson. to be sure, is Il native of
hut he seems to he pretty good
American for all that. He came to this
country when a child with his parents
and his early years were passed in San
Francisco where he was educated in
the public schools. He secured an APP
pointm1nt to Annapolis where lie grad
uatcd in 1878 and for eight years served
as an officer in the navy. From 1881 to
1899 he was teacher of physics at the
Case school in Cleveland. ONO. and
from l%S? to 1892 Was head OF the de
partmcnt of Physics at Clark Univrr-
sity, Worcester, Mass. since which time
he has been at Chicago.
The aware; of this Nobel prize in
ply sizes which carries about Sio,oo in
money in addition to the diploma and
gold medal. is sufficient evidence that
ne is in the front rank of his profess
sion, for the trustees of the Nobel prize
fund have shown 10 undue disposition
to favor Americans in making their
awards. Professor Nicholson is a
member of the leading scientific Socic-
ties of this country and Europe, and
has published numerous scientific
books. pamphlets and articles. OF the
other Nobel awards this year. the prize
for literature goes to Eudyard kipllnS,
as earlier announced, that of medicine
to Dr LIveran OF Paris, that OF chem
i$try to Professor Ruchncr of Berlin.
