 I Scriptures. we are near the time when satan will be bound. when all the in- l huences of evil amongst humanity will be restrained According to the scrip l lures, also, this binding of satan will be accomplished in q great time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation,' and humanity will be left in an almost dead condition. The pride the hopes, the ambition of men will perish in that awful trouble, but the master will be present in His king dom to uplift them
 NIessiah's Kingdom will not only bind the adversary and forbid him to re- enter humanity, and interfere with their affairs but the power of the Kingdom will for thousand years do an uplifhting work amongst the fallen and degraded members of our race, lifting them up, up, up, until they will be fully up to the divine standard, as represented in Father Adam-from which condition he originally fell through disobedience, and return to which condition has been secured for all through the merit of Jesus sacrifice at Calvary.
 The disciples asked Jesus why they could not cast out this demon. And so Gods people many a time have asked themselves, Why cannot we do more than We are doing In the way Of op- posing Satan and sin, and their reign of evil? The answer of Jesus is ap- plicable there as well as there, This kind cometh not out save by fasting and prayer" Undoubtedly Gods peo- pie conld accomplish much more In their own conflicts with sin and Satan. and in helping others to get free from the power of sin. if we would always exercise full faith In the Lord, and | lxtfs.t ,nlI la tA. spirit and less according to the nesh. This would mean fasting, or self-denal and prayer or fellowship with God.-- Phil. iv s; Rom. viii, II.

ifestations of divine power and such as- sistance given to those willing to eX- ercise faith, that all may profit there by and experience the healing of their nesh and the casting out of every power of Satan and sin.
 The poor father realized from Jesus words that the difficulty rested with him, that he must exercise faith else his son could not be recovered Witb tears he cried out, Lord. l believe; help Thou mine unbelief" His faith got it's reward. Jesus commanded the evil spirit to come out of the boy, and enter no more into him. This last was the special point of this cure. The evil spirit had frequently left the boy, but onlyto return. The Lords command was that he should leave, and never return.
 It may be wondered why the Master permitted the evil spirit to tear the boy and cause him pain in leaving him. If He had power to cast him out, He also undoubtedly had power to con- trol the manner of his coming out We can only surmise, therefore. that Jesus on this and other occasions, al- lowed the evil spirit a measure of lib- erty in the method of leaving the vic- tims, and that this was for the very purpose of demonstrating how mali clous and evil the spirit was which had control; and thus the miracle was the more clearly seen and the more would the Lord be praised by those inter- ested.
 "Many Said, He Is Dead
 The boy was left in an apparently dead condition, but Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up. The les son for us in this Is that 1t is not only that the adversary and his power be cast out of humanity and from control that the poor world needs, but they need divine aid, the hand of di- vine yower. for their upllft out of the mire of sin and death.

Jackson, Miss. November 26.-(Spe- oial.) )--There were very few cases of interest in the list of decisions hand ed down by the supreme court Mon- day, but one in which the constitu- tionality of an act of the last legis- lature had been assailed Is of great importance to the landowners of the delta, Its title was L. B. Jones vs. Belzoni drainage district of Washing ton county, and the court stated that the act had been attacked section by section, but 1t could sec nothing wrong anywhere. It Is a very full and com plete act" said Justice Cook, the right of appeal being given to the injured parties at every point, and the man who drew the bill evidently knew what he was doing-meeting every old ob jection to drainage laws and provid- ing against any and all new ones that might arise" The court stated that the case was test suit to satisfy the pur- chasers of drainage bonds and that they are perfectly safe, as the law Is all right in every particular.
