is responsible for the alleged

cheap and dirty politics, to create
prejudice against the Royal Arch,
and corresponding support for his
honor or Is a delusion. AS far as
the Royal Arch is concerned 1t is
without a shred of support. Assum-
ing that the Mayor really believes
that any threat of assassination has
been made against him. 1T is delu-
sion and one of very ominous char

SUNSHINE AND CLOUDS
By Daniel MOuagIe.

See how bright the landscape smiles
And the glorious sunlight CLEANS
Ger the fowery sylvan dells
Ger the graves and murmuring
streams.
All the scene is fresh and fair,
All so tranquil and so calm
Perfumed is the ambient air
From the flowers breathing balm.
But one solitary cloud
Slowly floats across the scene
Throws its shadow like a shroud
Der the landscape so serene
Slow its sinister shadows creep
Ger that scene so full Of bloom,
And with rumblings loud and deep
From on high the thunders boom.
Lightning flashes from the sky,
Thick and fast the rain does fall,
And our spirits in us die
Looking at that gloomy pail,
So the clouds are rolled away,
And the landscape looks more green
Only freshened far more gay
Far more glorious to be seen.
Loudly carol the birds on high
Soaring through the ambient air,
Golden sunlight fills the sky
Everything looks fresh and fair,
So my friend when DER your life.
Dark and sinister shadows pass
Nobly face each care and strife,
Lies too short to moan alas.
This old earth has battered been
By the storms of many years
Still it floats thro' space serene,
Holds its place among the spheres,
And when winter chills the north
In the south there's sunny spring,
Where among the floral glades
Blithely the song birds sing.
So it is each human life
Has its dark and sunny side,
And through crosses cares and strife
Calmly better days abide.
/ Thankful TO the Lord on high
That the joy Of life we're given,
, For when clouds overcast our sky
There's hope and succor still in
heaven.

may either remarry. In their petition
the women characterize the law as I'M

absolute divorce should be granted
upon the mere request Of either hus-
band or wife.
That Mexico will provide a divorce
law for her unhappily wed is improb-
able, but that a considerable portion OF
her population-men as well as wo-
men-should demand such a measure

the spirit of radicalism which pre-

DARK PROPHECIES FULFILLED.

The dark prophecies which the Lord
sent through jeremiah, the Prophet

sieging army of the Chaldeans. after
a year and a half of siege, finally, with
battering rams, succeeded in making
a breach in the wall through which an
entrance was effected and the city

The punishment was after the man.
ner of the time, illutrated on some Of
the victory tablets which still remain.
The kings eyes were put out and, a
blind prisoner, he was take to Baby
Ion. Thus were fulfilled two very strik-
ing prophecies which, until fulfilled,
seemed quite contradictory. In this W
get a lesson of how carefully we
should study Divine prophecy. and
how faithfully we should trust it's
every detail If we would receive light
instead of darkness.
One of these prophecies respecting
zedekiah is found in Ezekiel xii. 1913.
The other is found In Jeremiah xxi,
3-5. Ezekiel declared that king Zede-
kiah would be taken to Babylon cap
tive. and that there he would live and
there die; and yet he again declared
that he would never sec the city, APP
parently a contradiction. Jeremiah pre-
dicted the downfall of Jerusalem. de-
claring that Zedekiah would speak
with Nebuchadnezzar mouth TO mouth
and see his eyes. This seemed 10 con-
tradict Ezekieps statement, for IL he
would speak with the king and see him
eye to eye, how would it be possible
that be would not see the city of Baby
lon?
The fulfllment met all the require
ments. King Zedekiah saw Nebuchad-
nezzar and spoke to him at Riblah In
Palestine. His sight was there taken
from him and he was taken a prisoner
to Babylon. He lived and died in Baby
Ion but saw it not.
