WHEN DEMOCRACY BEGAN.
The International Sunday School Les
son for August 81 Is, 'lsraei at
Mount Sinai," Exodus 10.
(By William T. Ellis).

Democracy's day is coming over the
whole earth. 1t Is sweeping forward
in a tidal wave that is engulfing even
the Oldest of the Nations of the East
long accustomed to dependence and
class distinction. In North America,
the renaissance of democracy Is the
clearest political and social sign OF
the times.
1t is timely to go back to the begin
ming of this movement, which is now
worldconquering. The present Sun
day School Lesson deals with the birth
of democracy Amid the autocracies
Of the ancient world, the Hebrews
were the first self-governing, people.
Our days study finds them drawn
up in spectacular array before Mount
Sinai, to learn the lesson Of self gov
eminent, and the cardinal principles
thereof. There are few Old Tesla
ment episodes that link themselves
more OPPORTUNITY with the mood of the
day than this one with Israel, newly
delivered from Egypt, taking its first
lesson in national citizenship on the
plain of Sinai.
SCsS'S oSyS '''SSS'US/'
The very first lesson of democracy
is Theocracy. There must be govern
ment by God before there can be self
government by man. Men have to
learn to be true to sovereign Diety,
before they can be true to one an
other. Falsehood comes before
brotherhood. 1t is not in the nature
OF selfish men to rise to the heights of
which is the loftiest
conception of government ever enter
tanned by mortal,-unless he has first
come under the sway of divine obed-
fence. Man needs help from above
before he can be loyal to the sublime
unselfishness which is at the root of
democracy. This new idea Of a ma
ton was worthy to be born amid the
thunders of the mount.
Practical politics. and not senti-
mental piosity. leads to remind our

Jethro was convinced that Jehovah
was the God above all gods.

49,
was the God above all gods.
The wise old sheik, Jethro, saw at
once how personal was the leadership
of Moses, and how dependent were
the people upon him. He pointed out
to his illusterious son-in-law that 1t
was impracticable, and Inconsistent
with great leadership, for the respon-
sible head of everything to be burd-
ened with details. Moses simply
could not stand this strain, any more
than thousands of business men since
have been able to live under the
stress of carrying all the petty cares
Of big business Delegated respon-
sibility and authority is essential to
successful organization. So Jethro
counseled Moses to organize the peo-
pie into thousands and hundreds and
fifties and tens, each with its own
leader. Only the most important
questions were to be brought to Moses
himself. .,...
That was a sublime spectacle, when
the whole body Of the Israelites, de-
livered from bondage and the rule of
an autocrat, were drawn up in stately
array before the great granite noun
tain of Sinai. The event was staged
in manner to make them stop and
think.
This day they were to meet
with Jehovah, and have their formal
inauguration as nation.
The message that came to them Is
one that applies, in striking degree,
to our land and time. They we're the
chosen people. They were reminded
of their providential history, and how,
II bare you in eagles wings, and
brought you unto myself. Now there
fore, If ye will obey my voice indeed,
and keep my covenant, then We shall
be mine own possession from among
all peoples
Nothing evokes a mans best power
like the knowledge that he has been
chosen for a great task. That was the
conviction which was borne In upon
Israel on that memorable day. The
same realization should purify and ex-
alt our patriotism.
Overwhelmed, stirred to the depth
Of their souls, fired by new strange
purposes, the waiting multitudes be-
low Mount Sinai, took the oath that
was asked Of them: All that Jehovah
hath spoken we will do" It was a
nations covenant with God, the most
solemn VOW that they could utter.
The greatest day for patriotism is
when men associate thoughts of re-
ligion with thoughts OF their national
duty.

who ranked socially high above
Mrs. Tuckerman had met him
and taken him up. Andlso Herr
KrisseFs tour of America was
punctured with social triumphs.
Had these good people known it,
however, Herr Krissel was not at
all conscious of the honor that he
was receiving, nor of the reflected
glory Of the regent of Bonn,
which he showered over his hos
tesses. He attended such func-
tionS because he had always done
so, and to his simple Teutonic
mind all whom he met were his
equals.
Eyes, Her Krissel is really com
ing" said Mrs. Tuckerman to her
guests as they assembled. "You
know whom l mean-the great
pianist, the friend of the regent
of Bonn. You know his romantic
story, don't your
Then, before the other could
reply, Mrs. Tuckerman would
plunge into the often repeated
tale of how, twenty years before,
when Krissel was a poor music
teacher, he had fallen in love with
the daughter of a rich land
owner and secretly married her
how the marriage was discovered, .
and the count, furious at the dis
covery, had him drafted into the
army, where he served seven
years, hearing nothing of his
wife. When at last he was per

had devoted himself to his art.
Dear me, how romanticr ex-
claimed the other invariably. Il
am so anxious to see Herr Kris
sell"
Hush Here he comes now"
said rich Mrs. TuckermaR.
The first glimpse of the ia
nous man was admittedly disap-
pointing. Herr Krissel was. short
and stout and bald, and if any 70
nance had ever come into his life
it must have been fully twenty
years before, Then, too, he acted
as naturally as though he had
never been in society before. He
laughed loudly, and sometimes
wiped his forehead with a red
handkerchief; so that the guests,
not knowing whether to resent
this or to admire it as a token of
genius, were somewhat at a loss
what to do.
But when at last Herr Krissel
was coaxed to the piano and took
his seat and began to play every
chattering voice wasstilled. In
der the magic touch the piano
awakened, the full tones rolled
forth as from an organ. All eyes
were fixed upon the player when,
suddenly ending in a crashing
chord, he rose from his seat and
bowed.
At the end of the room the
young girl stood enthralled. At
