Success.

Success was assured. His work was to
continue long after his death, but God
would honor him in his labor. He should
select and teach his successor. One of
the most difficult tasks for man is the
work of educating people through the
school of the prophet. The house OF
Omir for their iniquity would be destroy
ed. Kings for Israel and Syria were to
be consecrated. He would not be alone
and the victories of peace would be more
lasting than those of conflict.
God has a place for the man who has
failed The glory of Christianity is the
use made by our Lord of what men con-
slider unfit. We, too. may realize our
unworthiness, but let it not tempt us to
refuse Gods voice.
If trials come let us recall the trials of
Jesus. If sufferinss, let us not forget
how our Lord suffered. IL sorrow, visits
us let us remember the Man of Sor-
rows God is not in the storm, sorrows
or sufferings of life, but He is with us
in every such hour to turn the tide of
disaster to one OF victory. for He has
promised that all things shall work to-
gether for good to them that love Him.
Elijah's pathway to peace was in loving
obedience to Gods command in doing His
service.

The Friend in Need.

Elijah thought he was alone but God
was there to help. He never leaves us.
We may desert Him but in love He fol-
lows us by His Holy Spirit, comforts,
cures and causes us to conquer. Goa
treatment of Elijah is suggestive of how
We ought to help those that are depress-
ed. The physical needs received first at
tention. Sleep, the great restorer. was
given to him, then he was refreshed by
food, and strengthened by further rest
before he was called upon to exercise
his strength, in sightseeing journey to
Horeb. The distance, about $50 miles
further south, did not require forty days
to make the tour, but Elijah needed time
and teachings along the historical path

TREATIES
AbROGATE BY TAFT
Great Cities Have Sprung Up
in the Former Indian
Countries.

President Taft has repealed those per-
tions Of treaties made with the Indian
tribes Of Minnesota half q century ago
prohibiting all traffic In intoxicants in
the Indian country. He also sent to
Congress q special message urging SINH
lar action by that body In those treaties
the provisions Of which he Is not en-.
powered to repeal or modify.
In the years which have elapsed since
making these treaties" he says in the
message. conditions have larrely
changed, the Indian population has been
reduced. large white settlements have
been made and great cities like st. Paul
and Minneapolis have come to OCCUPY q
portion OF what, at the date Of the treat
les, was denominated Indian country.
Original Regulations Hold.
Notwithstanding these facts, this ter
ritory still remains subject to the resu-
lation respecting the traf1c in LIQUOR
originally imposed for the protection OF
the Indian.
Such an anomalous condition OF az
fairs he continues, should no longer
continue, and the regulation OF traffic in
liquor In those areas, now almost ex-
clusiyely occupied by white people, should
be left to them. In those instances where
the treaty authorized the President 10
repeal or modify the provisions l have
exercised that right. Some Of the treat
les, however, provide that the provisions
referred to shall continue and be in
force until otherwise provided by Con.

Valley Valuable Asset.

washington has valuable asset in
the valley of Rock creek, with its wind

Our citizens and Congress seem neither
TO appreciate this great asset nor IN
realize its Importance as increasing real
estate values. as bringing in larger re-
'orns from taxation, as giving a pleasure
ground and health resort for the people
and as necessary and important mart
in the logical development of the city.

manure heap continues to grow daily.
