Elijah's Victory Over the Prophets
Of Baal. I Kings xviii: IL, 17-40.
Golden Text-Choose you this day
whom We will serve. Joshua xxiv:15.
o. Verses 1-2-How long had the
famine lasted in the land?
(2) Did the Lord speak to Elijah
in any different manner to what he
speaks to those who serve him to-
day?
CD Why had God kept Elijah away
from Ahab for three years or during
the continuance of the famine?
(4) Would the suffering caused
Ahab, by the famine have put him
into a better frame of mind tc realize
his sin, and whether or not, does suf-
fering as a rule bring about repent
ance?
80 Verses 17-2O-What law in sin
full human nature did Ahab demon
strate in the way he accosted Elijah?
60 Why is it that sinners when
they suffer for their sins generally
put the blame on some one else?
CD In what respects was it true
that Ahab and his house were the
troublers of Israel?
(S) Verse 21-What test did Elijah
propose to Ahab and the people?
90 Why did not Ahab stay Elijah
when he was in his power and seeing
he had been hunting him for that pur
pose?
0O) Verse 21-Which is the more
harmful condition, to be almost per
suaded to be a Christian or to be def
nitelv decided that we will not? Why?
CID Why had the people of Israel
been hating between serving God and
Baal?
12.D Why could rot the people an
swer the challenge Of Elijah?
G3D What can you say about the
value of F,lijah's advice to the people?
(14) Verse 22-Was Elijah correct
in his opinion that he was the only
prophet remaining true to God? (See
Chap. XiX:1S)
05) In what sense is the proverb
always true, that lone man and God
are always a majority?'
(1c.) Is it always Gods plan to give
the victory to every man of God, no
matter if he is alone and all the peO-
pie are against him? Give your rea-
son.
(17) Verses 2325-Was the plan
Elijah adopted to prove that Baal
was no god his own, or had it been
given to him by Cod? Give your rea-
sons (See verse 36.)
(1S) Why would it be either wis
dom or folly, III this day, for any good
man to adopt the same sort of test to
prove that those who opposed Chris
tianity were wrong?
f1e.) What is the supreme test, or
proof, to-day that our God is real;
and a present help in trouble, and all
other gods are false? This question
must be answered in writing by mem
bers of the cIub.)
(2O.) Verses 26-29-What reason is
there to believe that these prophets
/ of Baal believed in their god?
CID How much value can you ge,
/ for the truth of any cause from the
evidence that it's advocates are willing
to suffer or even die, to prove thei,
faith in it?
! (22.) Verses sO-39 = What proc
have we to-day that the Lord is God
fully as convincing as this miracle?
(23) How much value do you place
upon conversions produced by such
wonders as were here displayed?
(24) Verse 40-What evidence i:
there that the wholesale slaughter o.
four hundred and fifty men, by Elijah
was done at the command of God?

publicans have no sympathy for a
measure calculated to guard against
money campaigns. How do the people
like this sort Of thing?
Is the action of the Senate, which
is supposed to be largely represen ia
tive of republican leadership. no.
tice to the newspapers that opposed
the money methods of the last cam
paign that they had better not inter-
fere in this direction in the future?
Certainly the senate's action is not
intended to encourage the advocacy of
moneyless campaigns. 1t may, how.
ever, have exactly the opposite effect

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
A Chance for Improvement.

=, If there is such word in the Grand

''We believe that the legislature
should enact such law as shall sur
round the political party caucuses
with the same safeguards as now pro-
tect the election at the polls. And
we further recommend such legisla-
tion as shall compel candidates for
party nominations and political Offices
to make public an itemized account of
their campaign expenses and such
other notifications of the existing
statute regarding corrupt practices in
political campaigns and elections as
shall tend more certainly to secure the
free choice of the peoples servants in
the government and make the man
ner and method Of that choice clear OF
any features repugnant to the en-
lightened sense of a democratic peo-
ple." This was one of the republic
can platform pledges enthusiastically
accepted in the last state convention,
after a campaign in which the charge
of the use of money in the precon
vention canvass was freely made.
Yet the senate turned down the bill
designed to remedy this evil without
giving it the slightest show for it's life
Later an attempt to have the meas

York Lake Champlain tercentary
commissions was held in New York
recently. The two committees sat as
jury of award to open the sealed
competitive designs of architects for
the Champlain monument to be erect
ed by the two states at Crown Point,
N. Y. Three designs for monument
submitted by three different archi-
tects, among whom was Frank L. Aus
tin of Burlington, were considered by
the joint committee and decision
practically reached as to the selec-
ton, but owing to the fact that the
New York committee must refer the
decision to the full tercentary COM
mission, the decision will not be made
public at this time. The design, how
ever, complies with the specification of
the two commissions which called for
lighthouse to be erected on the east
side of the present structure at
$50, 900 and 100000, of which Yer.
,, mont's portion will be from SIP, 500 to
SIS, 900. 1t will be built of granite
and the bids will be asked for as soon
as final decision is reached by New
York and the contract is expected to
be closed in April or May of the pres
ent year.

SENATOR TAPLIN.

Orleans County and Barton in par
ticuIar takes pride in the record of
Senator Taplin during the session of
the legislature just closed. 1t lends
color to our belief that every county
should use more care in the selection
of their senators as we'll as of their
representatives Senator Taplin has
made a better legislator than the
Monitor anticipated. We know moth
ing of the merits Of the railroad fight
just ended, but we can but admire the
courage of Senator Taplin in fighting,
probably against his own interests, for
a principle which he believed to be
right. He went on record as favoring
the adjustment of offsets although it
would cost him a loss Of several hun
dred dollars per year. He went on
record as opposed to the intangible tax
law because it did not provide guar
antae that the poor man could borrow
money at lower rate of interest.
Throughout the entire session his
heart and vote has been in the interest
of the people. A man of wealth him
self he has consistently fought for the
poorer people. He is the kind of pub
lie servant to whom the rank and file
in this state must look for Legislation
for the masses rather than Legislation
for the classes.

One hundred years ago Friday Horace
Greeley was born in New HAMPSHIRE.
When very young he moved to Poult-
ney, this state, where he learned the
printers trade, which trade afterwards
led him to New York where he found
ed the New York Tribune. He was
probably the greatest editor that ever
lived and it was his editorial utterances
that were quite largely responsible
for the stirring up of the north which
resulted in action against the south
and slavery.

Reports say the town was entirely
without fire protection. Irasburg

But sympathy never stops fires. When
will the small towns IF Vermont learn
the lesson Of protection, and demand
some kind of fire protection?

Holmes Will be severely criticised and declared
undemocratlc for the stand he takes in tbis

there IS no exception taken to any official at
the present time employed in the capacity Of
