noted, the most prominent Of which
Is related in our lesson, namely, the
restoration of boy TO life and health.
The thing connected with Elisha's ex-
periences which has attracted to him
worldwide attention and general rep
rotation was his cursing Of forty-two
youths. .
A Just Rebuke and Profitable Lesson
The thought is that he condemned
them, just as Jesus said to some with
most kindly art, "Woe unto you. scribes
and Pharisees," etc. So Elisha pro-
nounced woe or blight upon those
youths of various ages who tainted
him. He declared that something
would befall them. Divine Justice
would square accounts and indicate
him. Forthwith two she bears came
upon the rabble, put them to flight,
and forty-two of the mob were torn
and wounded-mor or less Opponents
of the Bible read into this the forty
two children were killed, but nothing
Of the kind Is stated.
We are to remember that the Israel
ties under the leadership Of their King
Ahab and Queen Jezebel had been
turned to idolatry, and that although
the Prophet Elijah had re-established
the true religion, the King and Queen
and the majority of the people merely
tolerated It. These youths who had
TRADED against the Prophet were prob.
ably the young men and boys Of Jeri.
cho. -..
Elisha Considered Typical.
Our interest in this story Of Ellshas
experiences after Elijah was taken
away increases as we consider the fact
that he, like Elijah, was quite n posi-
tive and typical character. We have
already intimated correspondence be-
tween Elijah and the antitypical priests
and between Elisha and the antitypical
Levites Of the Gospel Age. Elisha may
also typify the Ancient Worthless, into
whose hands the instruction and bless
ing Of the world will be placed at the
Inauguration Of Messiah's Kingdom
princes in all the earth" From this
standpoint we might think of Elisha
representing the secondary class Of the
spirit-begotten ones first, and that his
crossing of Jordan represents the death
Of this class Of antitypical Levltes.
With this view the after progress Of
Elisha and his work Of Judgment and
restitution already referred to, CORE
spond well with what we should ex-
pect at the Inauguration Of Messiahs
Kingdom under the princes" The
healing Of the water-spring would well
represent the healing Of the stream Of

TO STOP PELAGIC SEALING
Japan and Russia May Approve

than ten years were announces here TO-
night The treaty was negotiated by the
British Ambassador at Washington.
The agreement is conditional upon the
signing Of similar agreements between the
United States and Russia and Japan, oht
II is understood that the governments Oh

ing the entire destruction Of the seal herds
In the Pacific Efforts to- secure an agree
ment among the four powers have been IN
progress ftr some years. and the negotia-
tions are now within sight Of a successful
Issue.
By the terms OF the treaty made at WASH
ington the United States government may
still continue its present system Of taking
each year a limited number OF seals from
Pribyloff Islands, it being held by experts
that the killing or limited number OF
males each year is conducive TO the better
propagation OF the herd.
To compensate Canada for the withdrawal
Of all sealing privileges on the high seas
the Dominion will be given an equity based
on percentage of the total annual take
from the islands It is believed that in the
course OF o few years OF absolute protec-

that has characterized her action IN other

DAWSON MAY BE SECRETARY.-That
President Taft will select Albert Foster
Dawson. now representing the I'd Iowa DIS
trict in the House, but who declined a
denomination. to succeed Charles d. Nor
ton as secretary to the President. is an ex-
tremely probable result of the action OF the
House to-day in refusing to increase the
salary of the secretary from 5000 TO slp.cN
a year. Mr.. Dawson. although still young
man. has had wide political experience. lie
wG.s for many years secretary TO Senator
Allison, af Iowa, and In that capacity ac-
ouircd not only wide political acduaint-
ance. but a valuable knowledge of the
mechanism of the national government.
While not an insurgent, he has always
been very progressive regular. He Is eN-
tremely popular and because OF his valu-
able experience and his ability he was ap-
pointed to the Appropriations Committee
after comparatively short service in the
House. as II was felt that he could be oi
the utmost assistance TO Representative
Smith. Of Iowa. who was not in the best OF
health II is felt that Mr.. Dawson would
bring TO the White House I knowledge OF
political conditions in the Middle West
which would be of the utmost value. while
his thorough familiarity with all the de-
partments OF the government would prove
Of great service. His long experience as
secretary 70 Mr. Allison made him familiar
with the duties of that place and he stands
well with members of Congress of both
parties and with the press.

ever since he learned of Mr.. Nortons de-
termination to resign the post Of secretary.

OF New York, who has decided to resign his
present post of Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury ON March to become Mr.. Nor
TONS successor. Mr.. Bllles decided to re-
sign from the Treasury TO accept an at
.tractive business offer in New York. II
