MESSAGE HARD TO INTERPRET
Commentators Differ as to the "Wom-
an Jezebel" In the Third Chap.
ter Of Revelation.

AS to the message to the church in
Thyatira, in the third chapter of the
book of Revelation, it is an obscure
and difficult one to interpret, since we
know so little of the prevalent Gus.
toms and heresies of that time. Com
mentators differ as to the woman
Jezebel,' some claiming that she was
heather priestess. who stood for all
manner Of licentious rites and evil
practices, and others that she was the
leader Of the Nicolaitans. a division
of the church that claimed to be none
the less Christian because it tolerated
some heather customs, like eating
meat offered to idols, offering incense
TO the statue of the emperor, joining
social clubs, which were numerous in
those days, and which often fostered
much debauchery and even licentious-
ness. Many of these clubs we're con-
nected with the trade guilds, and on
this account Thyatira, which was ia
nous for these guilds, offered special
temptations to the Christians who be.
longed to these guilds, to condone,
even if they did not approve, the UNI
Christian practices of many of the
members.
The praise accorded in the first part
Of the message to the church of Thy
atira seems to give color to this inter
probation. for the Son of God himself
says: Il know thy works, and love,
and service, and faith, and that thy
last works are more than the first"
1t is thought by many that the Nj.
colaitans, though their doctrines were
wrong, and their complaisance toward
the practices of their heather neigh
boris was most dangerous. yet were
still active in good works, and per
haps WED with their stricter and more
Iuritanical church members in acts
Of benevclence and subscriptions to
all good causes so that the last
works were more than the first"

HE OF GREAT FAITH.
SoWer Who Dares to Go Forth
Unquestioning, Scattering
Seeds Of Truth.

Among all the figures which loom
out of the words of Jesus with a per.
manent interest for us there is none
that is more significant than the SOW
er who went forth to SOW. Across the
field of imagination this toiler ever
passes, never rests. With his bag
upon his shoulder, his arm forever
sweeping the halfcircle as he walks,
and the seed forever falling from his
hand, he is silhouted against the hori-
zon of the world. He incarnates a
principal. He personifies a process.
He fixes in the thought of man the
way of God. Behold a sower went
forth to SOW That was his task He
did not make the soil on which his
seed fell He saw the rocks, the
thorns, the thin soil and the hard soil.
He knew that much of his seed would
never fructify. He saw the birds as
they picked up the kernels after him.
Perhaps he even thought the Nbirds
had right to share. OF course
he understood that sun and rain
would try the tender plants. He also
the other side of summer, He need
ed not to be told that he must wait,
and that his seed must take its
chances with all the vicissitudes of
seasons and weather.
Believed In the Earth.
But he trusted nature. In spite Of
stones and thorns and thin soil and
hard soil, he believed in the earth.
He believed enough to act. He was
not one of those who wait that they
may serve. He took his promise from
creation. Beneath the. variations of
the days and nights he felt the thrill
of spring. He rested in the deeper
processes. He had faith that all the
world would change beneath the &C.
centricities OF wind and shower and
heat and light And so he sowed
And so he went forth to SOW, seeking
the soil in which to cast his prophe-
cies of future increase. For all seed
sowing is prophecy, and all seed
sewers are seers who bide their time
In the promises of life. If there were
more prophets there would be more
seed-sowing in the world, And IL
there were more who understood the
law of increase as it works every
where there would be fewer foolish
questions asked of those who SOW the
seed. For those who demand harvest
before the seed has time to sprout
and grow are spiritually near-sighted.
The noblest symbol of great faith is
one who dares to go forth unquestion-
ing, scattering seeds of /, truth and
right and peace and love, knowing
that stones and therns and uDrespon-
aiye soil are therei yet also AhoWins
that the earth is the LORD .. that some
how seedtime and harvest are insep-
arabic, and that when the summer is
past the reaper will surely find fields
OF ripening grain where he sowed his
Uniyersalist Leader.

MAN DRIVEN
TO HIS DEATH
Creditors Had Foreclosed
on Theodore Wagner
Of st. Adams
BODY WAS FOUND
IN INCHES OF WATER
Neighbors Discovered 1t in
Lake Champlain Last
Night

st. Albans, July lS.--The body Of
Theodore Wagner. who lived on the New
ton road was found in the lake in a
few inches of water last night at l0:30
o'clock, and it is supposed that the man
committed suicide. The body was found
by Zeb Gebo and his nephew, who were
neighbors of Wagner. The theory OF
suicide rather than accident is supported
by the fact that the man was known
to be in serious financial trouble, several
parties having foreclosed on his prop
erty yesterday.
Gebo at noon yesterday noticed Wag-
ner driving BY and later he saw a horse
loose near the lake shore. Gebo caught
the horse and tied it to a tree. In the
evening the horse was still tied to the
tree and Gebo led it to his barn, after
which he and his nephew started out to
search for the owner. Going to the lake,
they found W'agner's body lying face
downward in few inches of water.
Sheriff Holmes Of this city and Sc
lectman H. X. Brooks of st. Albans
Town were called, and on their orders
the body was brought to Sullivans mn
dertaking rooms in this city The mans
watch was full of water and the hands
had stopped at 1890 o'clock. II is said
that someone saw Wagner deliberately
lie face downward but did not know
what he was trying to do,
Wagner was about forty years Of age
and leaves three sons. His wife died
about eight years ago.

TAKEN TO HOSPITAL:
WILL RECOVER
Youth Was at Farm of F. c..
Little in Graniteville
with His Uncle

Selim Habbeeb the fourteen wear old
son OF Hider Habbeeb Of 2S Prospect
street, firm member of the American
Clothing Co, which operates store in
the A. Tomasi block on North Main
street, is at the City hospital suffering
with a fractured skull and broken coll
lar bone sustained in an accident at
the F. G. Little farm in Graniteville
yesterday afternoon when horse be-
longing to Alex. Corey kicked him. The
Habbeeb boy was rushed to the hospital
in Mr.. Little's automobile a few mo-
ments after the accident occurred. Ply
sicians who worked over the lad during
the afternoon were not sure last night
as to his chance for recovery. 1t was
problematical, at best, they said. This
morning he had recovered consciousness
and was resting comfortably although
some little time was expected to elapse
before it could be ascertained as to
whether he was out of danger.
Yesterday morning the Habbeeb boy
accompanied his uncle, Alex. Corey. on
one of the latter's frequent trips to the
quarry district. Corey peddles for the
American Clothing Co., and young Hab-
beeb, who expects to be a merchant him
self some day, went along to get an in
sight into the business Come noon, the
outfit put up at the Little farm for din
ner, and it was while the driver was
in the house that Habbeeb stole out to
the barn to have look at the horses.
Ere he had been long gone. folks at the
house were startled by loud cries of
distress proceeding from the horse sta
bes. Corey and one of Mr.. Titles farm
hands ran to the barn and discovered the
Habbeeb boy lying at the heels of the
Clothing company horse.
On the advice of physician who was
summoned, the boy was taken at once
to the hospital. On the way down he
recovered consciousness partially and
was able to tell of his inspection trip
through the horse barn. According to
his story he was adjusting a snap on
the Corey horse. when the animal sud
denly reared and coming down. pushed
the lad to the floor Much of what hap
pened afterwards was a blank in the
boys mind. 1t is believed that the
horse trampled on the youth. Besides
hiss father, Habbeeb has several broth
ers and sisters, all of whom are younger
than himself
