SERMONETTE.

T Mattathas Is entitled to a
 J place amongst the heroes of
 ! faith enumerated in the elev-
 ] enth chapter of Hebrews. ] After giving the long list of | heroes, Paul excIaims: Il And what shall 1 more say2 ] for the time would fail me to ] tell Of Gideon, and of Barak ] and of Samson and of Jephthae,
 l of David also, and Samuel, and q of the prophets. Who through faith subdued kingd m S, J wrought righteousness obtained J promises, stopped the mouths of J lions, quenched the violence of j fire, escaped the edge of the ] sword, out of weakness were J made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the arm les of the aliens. Women re- J ceived their dead raised to life again.. and others were tor tured; not accepting deliver ] ance; that they might obtain a better resurrection. And oth- CTS had trial of cruel mockinas ] and scour9ings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment ] They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with tho sword: they wandered about in sheepskins, and eoat-skins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (of whom l the world was not worthyo l they wandered in deserts, and In mountains, and in dens and l caves of the earth" There can l be no question, although un-
 l named, that Mattathias and his l noble sons are to be included amongst these.
 Notwithstanding persecution and trial and suffering, there Is ] a sense of security in Knowing ! that one is in Gods hands and that ultimate victory is with l him. The Third Psalm is ex- ! pressiVe of this:
 ! "Lord, how are they increased I that trouble me! many are they 1 that rise up against me. ! Many are they which say of T my soul, There is no help for T him in God.
 T But thou, o Lord, art shield ! for me; my glory and the litter T up of mine head. T "l cried unto the Lord with | my voice, and he heard me out | of his holy hill.
 ] 1 laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sus- q tained me.
 q I will not be afraid of ten I thousands of people, that have I set themselves against me ] round about.
 T Arise, o Lord; save me, O my T God: for thou hast broken the l teeth of the ungodIy. T "Salvation beIongeth unto the T Lord: thy blessing is upon thy ] people"

She is facing and overcoming for season at least, one of the largest and most for smidable centers of agitation against the authority of state and church Europe is face to face with a spread ing movement among the masses which challenges the liberalism of rep -resentative government, as well as the conservatism of autocraey.

tue, but it is the definition of the supreme law of human life and of the guidance for conduct inevitably resulting therefrom. The teaching of Christ xplans why this law is the supreme law of human life, and it also points out the line of action must follow avoid in consequence of his avowal of the truth of this teaching.
 But the Christian teaching, in its real meaning, acknowledging the law of love to be supreme and it's application in life to be exempt from any exceptions, by that acknowledgment rejected all violence and consequently could not help rejecting inc worlds whole organization, founded it is violence.

When I hear little children pleading for permission to go out on the sidewalk these warm evenings to enjoy outdoor fresh air and play, my heart is filled with grief to hear their mothers say, My little dears, mamma is afraid to let you go out on the sidewalk for fear some little pet Fido may bite you."
 What a shame that so many of our little children are deprived of the freedom of our sidewalks on account of so many useless dogs that infest the great city of Chicago! Human safety and life should be held far above dogs of all sorts.

Some wears ago, when l first started n business for myself on a small scale, kept my little store open every day of the week.
 Sunday was my best day and its sales were worth more to me than any two other days of the week. I kept this up for some time, but finally began to notice that my physical condition was not what it should be- In thinking it over soon concluded that it was the strain of working for seven days continuously that was telling on me and sapping my vitality.

The Books of Ma ccabees. The original authorities for the history of the Mac cabees are extremely scanty, but, for the course of the war itself. the first book of the Maccabees is a most trustworthy, If an incomplete, witness. The second book adds more important details to the history of the earlier part of the strug- gle and of the events which immediate ly preceded 1t; but all the statements which 1t contains require close eXamina- ton, and must be received with caution. Josephus follows l Maccabees. for the period which 1t embraces, very closely but the slight additions of names ana minute particulars indicate that he was in possession of other materials, prop ably oral traditions which have been elsewhere preserved. On the other hand, there are cases in which. from haste or carelessness. he has misinterpreted his authority. From other sources little can be gleaned.

THE STORY.

A MONO all the families of Judah "A there was none more noble. or more honorable than the family of Mattathias. He was of the line of the priests, having his place in the first of the 24 courses of the priest hood. among the sons of Joarib.
 Now Mattathias was very devout, and a sincere worshiper of the God of Israel. He refused to conform in any degree to the liberal conditions which had come to prevail among many of his people. He stroye to maintain the worship of God accord ing to the laws and ordinances given by Moses. It brought great sorrow to his heart to see so many of the Jews conforming to the customs of the heather and making alliances with them and when Antiochus Epi phanes came into power and the heavy hand of persecution was felt against the Jews who did not worship and serve the heather gods Matta- this strove more earnestly than ever before to stem the tide of irreligion. and hold his people 10 loyalty :o inc true God.

scarce article around Washington
since Theodore Roosevelt retired from
the White House. Congress has been
the chief producer since March 4,

mating from Washington during the

from the halls of congress or from
individual members of senate and

Of the dullest spots visited by news
paper men. The government depart
ments, taking their cue from the
White House, are producing very little
copy" and officials of the admins
tration, when they can be seen, have
little to offer In the way Of informa-
ton. From the newspaper mans
standpoint, Washinton has become
dry town"
The fact Is that President Taft is
not much of an advertiser; he does
not care for and does not like news
paper notoriety. He has a host OF
friends among the Washington cor
respondents, but he does not talk
with them as freely or as frequently
as did his predecessor. Administra-
tion policies are no longer made the
subject of conferences between the
President and he newspaper men.
Correspondents wishing to see Mr..
Taft must do so by appointment made
through his secretary And these ap-
pointments are not to be had except
when the President Is willing to dis
close some specific subject. Even the
ture of the Roosevelt administration
has gone out of vogue, Tor Mr. Taft
keeps away from official cares on Sun
day, and does not labor on that day
except in cases Of the utmost urgency.
II is not correct to say that all the
government departments have closed
their doors to newspaper men, for they
have not Perhaps half the members
OF the cobinet are readily accessible,
and are more or less free to discuss
the business of their departments.
The other half. however, operate be-
hind closed doors, and rare, indeed. is
the newspaper man who gets In un-
less he waits an hour or two, and
there are few men on few missions
who can afford TO cool their heels in
the outer office of any department
for that length of time: In all the
departments, however, subordinate
officials have suppressed, and are no
longer at liberty to disclose official
for publication.
There has been another great
