II. 1912. This little Incident the diff
ference of year in the expiration of
the old treaties-is proving very embar-
ras; ing to the Jap' ne &c in developing
fiscal policy. The practical result may
be to delay for year, if America re-
fused to enter upon new treaty rela-
tion at once, the readjustment of tariff
rates and other forms OF taxation vital
TO the financing Of the japanese empire.
Hence the japanese government has
been using every effort to induce the
state department 10 follow the example
of the great European nations and cor
sent to immediate revision Of the treaty.
The department has delayed doing
so, principally for the reason that it
desires to await the conclusion of all
the treaties which Japan is making
with the other powers in order to make
certain ior securing for America any
advantages extended to other peoples.
The radical difference between this new
treaty and the one now in force and the
one which may prove obnoxious to the
Western senators is understood TO be
the omission Of any reference to i'm
migration. The consummation of the
new treaty will be tribute to the ad-
vanced position that Japan has taken
among the nations without, in any de-
gree, curtailing the power of the Unit
ed States to regulate immigration. The
presidents action in submitting this
treaty created great surprise in con-
gress, the only persons not taken una
wares being the members of the senate
committee On foreign relations who
at dinner recently, were informed by
Taft of what the administration had
in mind. Wednesday it was referred at
once to the foreign relations committee
1t is said that white house dinner de-
yeloped some views on, the part of in
dividual senators Of great interest as
bearing upon the probable fate OF the
treaty when it comes before the senate
for approval. There was disposition
on the part Of some to apprehend a de-
mand on the part Of China for relax
alton of the rigid exclusion laws if this
concession should be made to Japan.
But it was pointed out that the govern
ment would not surrender any right of
control of Chinese immigration, even if
a new treaty was accorded to China.

A PSALM OF DELIVERANCE
BY Edward Leigh PelI D. D.
schoofL esso

mercy and truth, day Of righteous
ness and peace. Faithfulness will
spring up among men and salvation
will look down from heaven. The Lord
will bless us and the land will yield
great harvests. And as he passes
through our land to bless us. saliva
ton will go before him and peace
Will follow in his steps.
The Heart OF the Lesson.
God has blessed US in the past; He
will bless us now. II He blessed us
when we turned to Him We may be
sure that He will bless US now if We
turn to Him. All the blessings of the
past are so many promises of the
things to come. What God has done
He will do. This cannot be said of
anyone besides God. A good man has
been paying the poor widows rent
for years but that Is no assurance
that he will pay it next year. he may
die or he may lose his money or he
may decide that the rent money
should go 10 relieve more distressing
case. Your father has literally show
cred good things upon you all your
life. but that is no promise of what
he Will do for you tomorrow. To-
morrow he may be bankrupt or in
sane or dead But of one thing you
J
shower kindnesses upon you to-mor-
row it will be because he is bank
rupt or insane or dead. You never
trouble yourself a moment about
whether father vii! be kind to you
Tomorrow; you know If he Is alive
when tomorrow comes and Is able TO
do you a kindness he will do it. You
know 1t because you know his heart.
The only questions that can possibly
trouble. you are whether he will be
here tomorrow and whether he will
he able to do you the Kindness you
want.
But there are no questions concern
ing God. You know that He Will be
here tomorrow and that He will be
just as able to bless you tomorrow as
He was yesterday when lie over
whelmed you with some great kind
ness. why then should you not take
what God has done in the past as a
promise of what He will do for you
| now? You do not question your
/ fathers Willingness. YOU only ques-
ton his ability; but when you think
! of God you do not question Ills ability
| but YOU question His Willingness. why
! do you never question your fathers
Willingness? Because you know his
heart. If you lived az close to the
heart Of God as you live TO the heart
| Of your father you would accep'
Gods goodness to you in the past as
an absolute assurance that Hs VII
! be good to you In the future, Father,
says the Psaimist, Thou didst bless
us Their. surely Thou wit be goot
to us now" And you and L can sas
the same thing. Once We were II
trouble. When we turned from ou'
! s,ns and Turned to God He came tt
our relief. Now We are In trouble
again He 10 the same God that He
was then He has the same strength
in His arm. He has the same lovs
in his heart why can we not so u
Him as the Psaimist did; Father
Thou didst bless us then; Thou vii
hles~ lis now"
