the rod, presumably "Aaron's rod that
hudded," and that was kept in the
Ark In the Most Holy. That rod would
remind the people Of the Lords special
acceptance Of Aaron as the high priest
and Moses assistant. 1t would be a
sign to them of the Divine favor which
hitherto had, guided them, and which
would continue to guide all who trust
ed In the Lord.
Shifting the Rock Sin.
The Lord particularly directed that
Moses should speak to the rock, and
that in response waters would gush
forth. About thirty-eight years before,
in q similar experience near Mt Sinai.
Moses had been instructed to smite
the rock; but in this case the rock was
not to be smitten.
Here Moses and Aaron sinned. "The
meekest man in all the earth" forgot
himself, and allowed n spirit some
what akin TO pride, self-sufficiency and
anger to control him for the moment.
Shifting the rock, he cried to the peo-
pie, "Ye rebels. must bring you water
out Of the rock?''
The water indeed came forth, as the
Lord had promised. The people in
deed got the blessing needed, but one

The Lords decree was that neither
Moses nor his brother should enter
Canaan. Moses, however, was permit

Of the journey, and then from Mt. Nebo
to see the promised Land of Canaan.

saints. The Apostle explains that
they are chastened now that they may
not come into condemnation with the

They Drank of the Rock-Christ.
st. Paul points out that the shifting
of the rock was symbolical. AS the
mamma typified Jesus, so did the smit-
ten rock also. The refreshing water
from the rock symbolized the blessings
flowing from Christ's sacrifice The
shifting of the rock at the beginning of
Israel's experiences was authorized of
God. 1t was necessary that upon Jesus
should fall the rod of afliiction. even
unto death.-Isaiah 53:5, 6.
Just what was symbolized by the
second smiting which God did not au-

The fact that it was punished indicates
that it was wrong, and that it symbol
of the professed people Of God. Two
suggestions come to us, either or both
of which may be applicable:

BANDITS ROB TRAIN AND GET BIG SUM
Apparently HoId-Up Men Were Youths.
Engine and TWO Cars Cut
Loose and Run Wild.

Tuscaloosa, Ala.-The Alabama and
Great Southern passenger train was
held up Friday by bandits, the express
messenger was shot at and about $780,
900 in cash taken. After ten suspects
had been arrested as the result OF
the combing of the country about the
scene of the hold-up of the Alabama
Great Southern passenger train No. Z
at Bibbville early Friday night, lead
ers of half dozen posses called their
men in in the belief that the three
bandits are among those now in Gus
tody. Apparently none of them is
more than 80 years old, and all protest
their innocence.
Reports still are conflicting as to
the amount secured by the three men,
two of whom are described as mere
youths, who held up the train and
dynamited the express safe, but one
report is that the amount will reach,
If not exceed, $4,000. Express COM
pany officials will make no statement.
The train was stopped by the set
ting of a danger signal at Bibbville.
When the train came to stop Engi-
neer Daniels and his fireman found
themselves looking into the barrels of
reVolvers in the hands of man ap-
parently still in his teens. Another OF
the men engaged in subjecting the
mail clerks and the third devoted him.
self to the express messenger The
next procedure was to uncouple the
mail and express cars from the re-
mainder of the train and run them a
safe distance from the passenger
coaches. Meanwhile several shots
were fired in the mail and express
car to terrify the clerks and when
the right location was reached all of
the train crew in sight were marched
to a corn field, while the man who
acted as leader wrecked the express
safe with several charges Of nitro.
glycerin.
The robbery accomplished, the throt
tie was thrown open, the bandit who
acted as engineer leaped from the cab
and the engine and two cars started
on a wild journey, while the robbers
escaped and the train crew trudged to
Bibbville and gave the alarm. Posses
were quickly organized and the pur
suit for the bandits begun within two
hours of the holdup. The engine went
dead after running more than thirty
miles.

FIRE MARSHAL GIVES
INTERESTING FIGURES
SAYS Louisiana Fire Loss Is Nearly
100000 YearIy-PreVention
Day October 9.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
New Orleans.-State Fire Marsha'
Trousdale has been circulating the fol-
lowing facts regarding fire losses and
fire prevention:
Gov. l.. E. Hall has, by proclama'
ton, designated October 9th as Fire
prevention Day" in Louisiana,
The mayors of all cities and towns
throughout the State have been re-
Quested by this department to issue
proclamations in their respective TO-
calities along the lines suggested IN
that of the governor.
Besides the annual fire loss OF
$250,000,O0 of which Louisiana alone
contributes about 100000, the total
annual fire protection and fire lnsur-
ance amounts to over $75O,OOO,OOO.
The per capita loss of Western Eu-
rope is 33c, and the number Of fires for
every 10000 population is eight. In
the United States the per capita loss
is $500 and the number Of fires for
every 10000 of population is forty
Berlin with a population of 3,OOO,Ooo'
has an annual fire loss Of $175,OOO.
Chicago with population of 100000
has an annual loss of S5,0O0,OOO. Ber'
ain appropriates 100000 for its fire
department. Chicago 100000.
THE solution of the fire waste prob
2em lies in fire prevention. The peo'
pie must be taught that it is irrational
to spend millions year in putting out
fires and scarcely anything for fire
prevention. 1t would cost infinitely
less to prevent fires than to extinguish
them. With proper precaution taken
by property owners and property hold
ers, at least 60 per cent Of the fire
waste would be eliminated.

Felker's advisers as to whether he
should honor the request of the state
of New York for the extradition Of

the attitude that the New York papers
are in proper legal form and that it is
unnecessary for the governor to go
below their surface in an inquiry into
the facts of the case upon which they
are based Others at the statehouse
take an opposite view.
