Scripture Lesson.

First John, fourth chapter and
second verse:
"Hereby know ye the Spirit of
God; every spiril that confesseth
that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh il of God"
! would like to ask the readers OF
this verse whether this is speaking
OF Christs descension into the
world or in the likeness Of sinful
flesh to condemn the weakness and
unprofitableness of the law; TO
abolish death for his people who
were under the law. Our Bible
teaches us that he that descended is
the same as he that ascended
Christ was manifested in the flesh
through the oracle Of circumcision;
justified in the spirit when He full
filled Gods will and was the end of
the law for righteousness for those
who survived him in that vail of
worship.

The democratic senators are hav-
ing some troubles of their own. A
few days ago Senator Stone took
occasion to read the riot act to all
democrats who voted against free
lumber. Senator Stone is n warm
personal friend of William j. Bryan
and is supposed TO be his mouth
piece in congress. Senator Bailey
of Texas, who voted for duty on
lumber, took exception to Senator
Stones remarks and proceeded to
give the senator from Missouri and
the late presidential candidate of
the democratic party most severe
lecture. He produced the record of
Mr.. Bryan while he was a member
of the house of representatives and
showed that he had there refused to
be bound by the national platform
of the democratic party. The re-
publican senators enjoyed this row
hugely. The democrats are having

Mr.. Wyatt came to look after the
claim of Jefferson county church
which had been destroyed during
the war. Many of these claims
have been presented in the senate
when there is scarcely any possibili-

gress has held for years that where
no effort was made, after the Civil
war, to collect from one of the de

they were all dead. The law max.

been consistent In refusing to pay
such claims. So this is the reason
Why so many people are disappoint-
ed. The court of claims simply re-
ports a finding of facts to congress
and this report is not binding in

Washington, Letter.
Washington, ID. c.,
June l2.

West Virginia can congratulate
herself on the wooden schedule.
The house re-enacted the "Dingley
tariff" and the senate has mad G
very few changes, and these for
the better. The schedule has been
up for discussion for number OF
days and its passage has been de.
layed by Senators DolliveI and
Latollette, who are talking against
1t. Several votes have been taken
however and the committee y has
never lacked a majority of less than
ten. So West Virginia wool-grow.
ers and farmers can rest salts fed
with the fact that they are going TO
have about the same wooden rates
they have now.
President Taft and Senator
Scott have been giving a surprise
party. The two of them got it up
between them. That Is President
Taft made the suggestion and
Senator Scott hunted up and ln-
vited all the guests. They kept it
so quiet that the lady to be sur
prised was absolutely surprised and
scarcely knew what to do.
The occasion for the party was a
desire to present to Miss Mabel
Boardman, of this city, watch
and chain, which was selected by
Mrs. Scott. She was a member of
the famous "Taft Party" which
visited the Philippines over three
years ago. She was the life of the
travellers and universal favorite.
She has entertained the "Taft
l'arty' at her fathers palatial home
since their return and il was i'm this
residence that the President and
Mrs. TAFT lived for week or so
before moving into the White
House on the 4th of March. Presi-
dent Taft thought that it would be
a most pleasant thing to remember
her aud so he sent for his friend,
Senator Scott. Together they con
cocted the scheme and the pleasant
conspiracy. All the members Of
the party were written to, respond
ed most cordially and literally,
and very many Of them were present
at the surprise party, which occur
red the evening of the 9Th. 1t was
