"Some Better Thing For U.s."
We are not to infer that those glort-
GUS characters who lived before
Christ's time were less faithful than
the Gospel Church, butte merely that
God promised them the earthly per-
lection, while He has promised the
Bride of Christ the heavenly perfec-
ton. They will not. like the remainder
Of mankind, come forth to attain per-
lection gradually during the thousand
years of Messiah's reign; the record is
that they will come forth perfect
human beings. That will be the re-
ward of their faithfulness.
st. Paul explains the entire matter In
Hebrews, the 18th chapter. He de-
clares, GALL these died in faith, not
having received the (earthly) things
promised to them, God having provided
some better thing for us the church,,
that they, without us, should not be
made perfect" The glorifcation Of the
Church, her resurrection to perfection.
must be accomplished before the bless
ings through them can proceed to the
natural seed of Abraham, and through
Israel to all nations.-Heb. xi, 38-4O
Not the Bride but the Friend.
John the Baptist declared, "He that
hath the Bride is the Bridegroom, but
the friend of the Bridegroom, hearing
His voice, rejoiceth greatly. This my
Joy therefore is fulfilled" John ILL.,, 29)
He perceived that in Gods providence
he had a very honorable and blessed
station and work to accomplish, but he
was to be neither the Bridegroom nor
member of the Bride class.
And the other Ancient Worthless will
not be disappointed when they come
forth In the resurrection to find a
Bride class selected to a higher place
than theirs. On the contrary, their cup
of blessing being full. and never hav-
ing been begotten to spirit nature.
they will not be able to comprehend
any blessings higher than their own.
Just, for instance, as fish In the wa
ter, seeing bird flying in the air.

its greater freedom, but. on the con-

John" fist did a work in
full accord with the prophecy that
Elijah must first come as a reformer
before Messiah.
Addressing the multitudes the Great
Teacher inquired. Why did you go out
to see John? Was it because God
spoke through him as Prophet as the
wind makes music through the reeds?
Or did you go out to see man in fine
clothing and of kingly state?
What really drew to Johns teaching
was that he was Gods Prophet; as 1t
is written. Behold. send My messen-

that the Kingdom of Heaven was

He went to his room and sat down to

some one beside Madeline Presson had
said it, it would have seemed to him
like the voice of the temptress. But
she had already won his confidence

PROLOGUE OF THE STORY.

Theismer Thornton, locally known
ms Duke of Canibas," for fifty years
boss of his district, plans to retire and
send his grandson, Harlan, to the leg
islature as his successor. The reform
ers In his district, who are called
"Ramrodders," endeavor to defeat
Harlan for the nomination. They are
led by Ivus Niles. Evangelist Dudley
and others. Harlan Is unwilling to be
a candidate, but his grandfather In
sists Harlan and Miss Glare Kava-
nagh are very much interested in each
other, and Thornton and Clare's IA
Their try to break up this intimacy
The reformers are In control of the
caucus, but Thornton's followers STAN
pede them by starting forest fire and
during their absence nominate Harlan
for the legislature Harlan helps sub
due the FIRE, learns of his nomination
and tells his grandfather that he viii
decline It because IL was dishonesty
procured.
However, the duke gets him to run
for the Office, settles with farmers who
lost by the forest fire and practically
assumes management of the whole
state campaign harlan meets Clare,
who, gowned and gloved. looks more
mature. Thornton and Harlan pay
secret visit to Ex-Governor Weymouth
and get him to accept the nomination
for governor in order to beat Arba
Spinney. Harlan meets pretty Made
ieine Presson. Weymouth startles
Thornton and other leaders by insist
ing upon writing his own platform
and upon rigid enforcement of the
prohibitory law. They refuse to NOM
mate him. Harlan deserts his grand
father and supports Weymouth, who
learns that Spinney has been bribed
to retire by Thornton, Presson and
others Weymouth compels them to
nominate him, and Harlan shares in
his victory. Weymouth declares he
viii enforce the prohibitory law, but
he rebuffs the "Ramrodders." He makes
Harlan his chief of staff for the cam
paign. Glare reveals her love for Har-
Ian, then goes away to be educated
Weymouth compels his party leaders
to more actively support him, and
Madeleine Presson tells Harlan he's
foolish to have such high political
ideals.

He did not understand very well what
he was to do to obey her suggestions.
He did not understand himself exactly
at that moment. But along with his
loyalty to General Weymouth a new
desire sprang into life within him. He
wanted to show Luke Presson's daugh-
ter that Harlan Thornton could play
the game of practical politics as we'll

would be more deserving Of her re-

Its all fine and grand in story
books, Mr.. Thornton, for the hero to
sacrifice everything for his ideals, but
in these very practical days he's only
classed as q fool and kicked to one
side"
You defend Linton, then? Is that
the kind of a man you hold up as 4
success, Miss Presson?" His grudge
showed in his tone.
You will please understand, sir, that
we are not discussing theories just
now. This isn't a question of what the
world ought to be. It's the plain fact
about what a man must be if he's to
get results. You and 1 both have
heard your grandfather say many
times that he'd like to play politics
with angels-if only he could find the
angels. I want you to understand that
my father has had nothing TO do with
my talking to you like this
He turned to her accusingly-

"You hold up Linton for me to follow.
That's the kind of man you admire.
He's an orator, and he's smart, and he
wins. I'm only an accident You don't
care anything about me, personally.
But you're talking to me because my
grandfather asked you to- That's it"
He guessed shrewedly.
That outburst betrayed him. This

SUFFRAGlSTS AT SMOKER
Dartmouth Club Members Cheer

Suffragettes carried their militant banner

cause. For while Miss Inez Miholland and
Mrs. Pearce Bailey raised the battle cry Of
equal rights the men Of the Dartmouth
club battled manfully with their pipes. 1t
was a battle n see whether the men could
produce more smoke for the club or the

FRENCH OPERA RUM0RED.
DippeI May Utilize the Century
Theatre Next Season.
AUDITORIUM WELL SUITED
Some Metropolitan Directors
Back of the Movement,
1t Is Said.

There is rumor In circulation, that
seems to have grounds for belief. to the
effect that Andrees Dppel's Chicago Opera
Company may give performances of French
opera next season at the Century Theatre.
The extreme weakness of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company in French operate
artists is notorious. and the performances
Of French opera have been few and far
between. It is we'll known that a large
number Of the box holders greatly deplore
the lack of French opera in this city. but
with the present composition of the Metro
rolitan Opera Company there seems little
reason to expect change.
In the case of the Chicago company
things are vastly different the French wing
of the organization being by far the strong
est.
Among Mr., Dippers artists are Mary
Garden, Maggie Teyte, Maurice Renaud
Charles Dalmores, Hector Dufranne and
Armand Crabbe. all of whom are among
the leading artists on the French eperaic
stage. With such an organization 1t would
he possible to give excellent perform
ances of French opera. and even opera
bouffe. and il is understood that "a number
Of the Metropolitan directors are urging
this move.
The intimacy OF the auditorium Of the
Century Theatre is another asset toward
the success of this plan. French opera
requires a smaller auditorium than the
Metropolitan. an auditorium for which the
size Of the Century Theatre is ideal
Among the French works that probably
would be given are Bizets Carmen
Gounod's Faust" Massenets "Manon,"
"Cendrillon" "ThaIs" and lie Jongleur de
Notre Dame; Dulsas's "Arane ct Barbe-
BIeu" Debussy's "Pe!eas ct Melisande.
and perhaps works by other Gallo com
