the King Of Syria was intent upon
picking a quarrel as an excuse for
sending an invading army to pillage
his kingdom. Eventually, however,
Naaman was directed to Elisha's place
of residence, at distance from the
Kings Court.
Leprosy Figure Of Sin
In many respects leprosy CORE
spends to sin; firstly, 1t is incurable;
secondly, 1t is loathsome; thirdly, it is
contagious; fourthly, it is destructive;
hfthly, 1t is painless.
As only Divine power could heal the
leper, only the same can heal the sim
ner. AS the maid could call attention
to the Prophet, and the Prophet pre-
scribe the remedy, and the servants
exhort compliance, so ell those who
know of a Divine power and arrange
ment for the healing Of sinners may
tell the good tidings, even to their enc
mics.
The number seven I'm the Bible is
used to represent completeness; hence
the seven washings In Jordan would
signify a complete cleansing, washing.
1t is by faith that we may now wash
ourselves completely in the blood OF
Christ; by faith we may realize that
the sacrifice Of Christ was for the sins
of the whole world, and may appro-
pirate our share thereof.
Gehazi, the CRATER, a Leper
Gratitude is one of the most worthy
sentiments of the human mind. Gen
eral Naaman's nobility was manifest
ed in the fact that, after being healed,
he retraced his journey nearly forty
miles, in order to thank the Prophet
for his recovery and to bestow upon
him gifts which he had brougl We
may assume that If he had not been
undetermined, God would not have
provided for him this healing.
To the Generals surprise the Proph-
ct declined to take anything. The
gifts Of Gods grace are not to be bar
tered for earthly good things. How
fortunate 1t would be, and how much
to the Lords glory, If all Of Gods
people would emulate Elisha In this
RI oect! But Gehazi, Elisha's servant,
ha a different spirit. When the char

DOruer OF the lana OF Israel,

loathsome infection and incurable dis
ease called leprosy. Wealth, influence
at Court, LIES abundance and honors
could not Offset this terrible plague
upon his life.
The study of today tells Of his mi
raculous healing by the Prophet Elisha.
In Naaman's household was a young
girl who had been captured from the
Israelites and was slave, although
doubtless well treated. The maid re-
membered the Prophet Elisha and how
wonderfully Divine power, through
him, had healed diseases. Instead Of
rejoicing that her captor and master
was suffering, she alphabetically In.

nevertheless, Norman Plass, as trustee

There were other transactions of

TWO ON RETIRED LIST.
City Firemen Are Placed on the Pen.
sion Roll.

Following the passage of the pension
ordinance through the city board of
commissioners, two members of the
Topeka fire department have been re-
tired on full pension. They are Ed
ward Conley, colored, of truck company
No and George Sneed of No. sta
ton.
Edward Conley has been with the To-
peka fire department &c years and s
months. He has been in active service
all that time. Chief Wilmarth says he
has been a thoroughly competent and
faithful fire fighter and even though
he is physically unable to continue liz
the work, on general principles he de-
served recognition from the pension
department.
Conley has fought in practically
every fire in this city in the last 26
years. He has been in the midst of
falling walls and deadly smoke until
comrades gave up his life for lost-but
he always reappeared ready for duty.
In November he was injured in the
collision between his truck and street
car at Twelfth and Fillmore streets
and as a result of this accident he was
injured for life. Now he has been
placed on the pension roll until death
at $40 a month.
George Sneed has been in active SER
vice % consecutive years. His COM
potency has rewarded him with an
honorable retirement.

that the heat of the upper air was as

height of 1900 feet.

In presenting MRS. Bumpstead-
Leigh" Mrs. Fiske offers a success
which she brings fresh from New
York, the play not having been pre-
sented in any territory between that
city and that embraced in her western
and Pacific coast tour. In fact, it was
not at first intended to bring the play
to the west but the plans for next
season would not admit of an eastern
tour in Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh" and
the theatrical season, of course, in
the east having already closed, the
only outlet for the play was the tour
upon which Mrs. F'iske is now engag-
ed, and to have completely "shelved"
a success after a New York engage
ment of ten weeks would have been
a new theatrical policy indeed. The
seat sale opens at the Majestic box
office Friday.
