as respects the Divine revelation, Tho
Bible, and the true knowledge Of Cod.
which is essential to salvation ana
| eternal life. We therefore sharply dis
criminate between earthly knowledge
and heavenly knowledge, and between
the wisdom Of men and the wisdom 81
God.
Our Lord Jesus gave us the key to
this question Of the Importance 81
knowledge In relationship to our At
tainment Of eternal life. He said. In
praying to the Father. And this II
life eternal. that they might know
thee. the only true God. and Jesus
Christ, whom thou hast sent" John
xvii. 81. Only such as attain To thif
knowledge may have eternal life. Con
Eequently we see at a glance that re-
markably few Of our race have thus
far attained TO the degree Of knowl-
edge which God would be pleased to
recognize. At first this might seem
peculiar to us; we might say to our
selves or to others. Why does not God
give II out freely to all? The reply of
the Sculptures is that God is giving
his knowledge freely now to a certain
class, and that by and by be viii give
II to all the families of the earth. This
essential knowledge is promised 70
the faithful in the world, jIe that seek
eth findeth. and to him chat knocketh
81 shall be opened. "The secret of the
Lord is with them that reverence him.
and he will show them his Covenant"
Blessed are your eyes. for they see,
and your ears. for they hear" Such
as thus abide In covenant relationship
with the Lord Jesus are indeed taught
of God in the School of Christ, and
may truly grow in grace and knowl-
edge.
A distinction should be observed in
knowing about God, and knowing God
himself. 1t is not sufficient that We
shonld recognize God as the Almighty
Creator, for devils also believe that.
On the other hand, to be intimately
acquainted with God means that we
must come into intimate fellowship
with him, and this means that we
must come unto the Father through
the Son, by faith. BY thus coming to
our heavenly Father by an acquaint-
ance with his Word. and through an
appreciation of his glorious work, past,
present, and future. we get a view of
the lengths, and breadths, and heights
and depths of love divine, all love ex-
ceiling" In proportion as we behold
the outline of the Divine character,
we perceive our own deficiencies and
try the more to rid ourselves of them.
and at least manifest to the Lord that
our hearts are in harmony with the
principles of righteousness.

The Sun of Righteousness.

Very appropriately the Scriptures
speak of the present rs 4 nighttime.
They tell us that now Darkness coy
ers the (civilized) earth, and gross
darkness the people (Heathendom1."
They assure us that now Gods people
need the lamp of Divine revelation to
guide their footsteps until the day
dawns. They assure US, however, that
the morning will be ushered in by the
great Sun Of Righteousness-the Christ,
the Messiah, Prophet, Mediator, King
of Glory.
Now Is the Church excluded from
this work of shining upon and enlight-
ening the world and scattering its
darkness. The Master gave us to un-
derstand that the Church with himself
will constitute the Sun of Righteous

ing in its beams. Thus in the parable
of the Wheat and Tares, he pictures
the entire work of this Gospel Age and
its contamination, which he styles
''The harvcst-the end of the age"

the wheat from the tares is that the
wheat shall be gathered into his barn

heavenly nature, and he adds, Then
shall the righteous shine as the sun IN

BRISTOW FIGHTS ON.
Has Confirmation of III. j. Bone Held
Up in Senate.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Bris-
tow has not abandoned his fight to pre-
vent the reappointment of H. J. Bone
as United States district attorney for
Kansas.
President Taft sent Bones nomina-
ton to the senate last week. 1t was
referred to the senate committee on the
judiciary, of which Senator Clark of
Wyoming is chairman. At Bristow's s
request the nomination has been held
up by the committee pending further
investigation.
Two sets of charges filed at the de-
partment Of justice were investigated
by special agents of that department.
These reports evidently were sent to the
president. Chairman Clark referred the
matter to a subcommittee. which has
not taken it up.
Senator Bristow said that his request
that the senate committee on judiciary
hold up the appointment of Harry j.
Bone, United States attorney for Kan
sas, was not with the idea of having
himself filing charges against Bone. 'sI
want little time,'' he said, ''to ascer-
tain whether certain stories which
have heard are true. If they are a con-
dition may arise that will make it my
duty to vote against Bones confirma-
tion. If it does I shall not shirk that
duty, though would prefer not to feel
compelled to So vote. I want to know
before the confirmation comes before
the senate just what the facts are. 1t
is nothing unusual for a committee to
hold up an appointment while a senator

THE BABY, DIED.
Ward of Humane Society Passes Away
at Hospital.

Ralph Whitecker. the infant which
has been the ward of the Humane
society at Christ's hospital, and has
been cared for free there since Octo-
ber. died at the hospital from convul-
sions about 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning. The baby was six months
old. 1t was born September f. The
mother, Mrs. Mary Whitecker, was in
destitute circumstances. Her hus-
band had abandoned her. Her three
children, the oldest of whom was a
/ girl of 8, had been caring for the
baby the best they could.
The case was called to the attention
of the humane officers. They found
that the mother and children were
poverty stricken. The baby weighed
only three pounds and four ounces.
The Kings notified Dean Kaye, man
ager of Christ's hospital, of the cir
cumstances. He at once directed that
the unfortunate baby be placed in the
hospital and cared for there free of
charge. This was done. The mother
gave her full consent. for she realized
that she was unable to properly care
for her offspring.
When Miss King was taking the
small baby to the institution. DR.. Mich
OILS saw it, and predicted that it
would live only few days. 1t was
emaciated in the extreme. However,
the little waif semed to get better. 1t
became the pet of the hospital.
