The Spiritual Lesson Taught.
Bible Students, realizing that Joseph
was a type of The Messiah. think that
benjamin, Joseph's younger brother by
the same mother. was also type. AS
Abraham's wives tynified different GOV
enants, so Rachel, mother of Joseph
and Benjamin, seems to typify the spe-
cial Covenant of Sacrifice. which has
operated during this Gospel Ase-and
which brings forth two distinctly sep
arate Glasses of saints.
The higher class is represented IN Jo-
seph-The Messiah class-the especial
ly faithful of Gods people during this
Gospel Age-Jesus and His footstep
followers This class will reach the
Throne of empire, becoming Ruler Of
the Universe, next to the Almighty,
who is typifed by Pharaoh. and who
took Jesus from the prison-house of
death and highly exalted Him.
1t has escaped the attention of Bible
Students, until recently, that two class
es of sanity Christians are being de
veloped during the Gospel Age-a SUI
perior class, typified by Joseph, and an
inferior class. represented by Benja-
min The name Benoni-"son of my
pain'-was given Benjamin by his
mother, who died'in giving him birth.
The antityDical lesson here would be
that this special Covenant, typifed by
Rachel, gives birth to the elect Church.
The Messiah class, of which Jesus is
the Head. and will also give birth to
another class. and then cease-eXpire.
This secondary class are Scripturally
designated Tribulation Saints. the dec
laration being made that they shall
come up out of great tribulation" to
the blessing which they shall inherit
Two TribuIation Classes.
The elect Church, of which Jesus is
the Head, will indeed pass through
great tribulatiQn. SO it is written,
Through much tribulation shah We en-
ter the Kingdom" The Lord Himself
passed through great tribulation-
shame, suffering and death. We know
that the same is true Of His foOtstep
followers. the Apostles and others.
Nevertheless. these are not described
in the Bible as the Tribulation Saints.
For by virtue of their greater faith,
they are able to rejoice in tribulations,
knowing that these are working out
for them far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory.
The Tribulation Saints are those who

thinks she has procrastinated long

. The delivery occurred between 6 and
$50 p, m, the time during which
Sheriff Kelland and Frank SWartz
were at supper, and the men must
have had help from the outside, as the
bars Of their cell, situated on the
basement floor of the courthouse, had
been neatly sawed in two and the men
made their escape.
Prompt search of the premises fail

method used in leaving the city is a
mystery, as every avenue was prompt

Other prisoners, located in nearby

HUNDREDS QUIT GEN. OJEDA

Maytorena, Mex, Dec. 20.-Desert-
ers from the federal garrison at
Guaymas, few miles south Of the
insurgent camp, began arriving here
Already eleven officers have surrend~
cred. Among them Is Major Figueroa,
member of the staff Of Gen. Pedro
Ojeda, federal commander at Guaymas
and commander of the cavalry sta
toned at the gulf port. Enlisted men,
aggregating more than 500 have ap-
peared in groups Of five and ten, dust
begrimed and suffering from the want
Of water and food. Many others are
wandering from ranch to ranch or are
lost in the mountains.
1t is said that nearly all the out
posts placed about Guaymas by the
federal commander have deserted
with their arms and ammunition.
These developments are considered
a death blow to the Huerta govern
agnerit In the northwest, marking the
Overflow of Ojeda whose stubborn
fighting has been a menace to the
southwark progress of General Car
ranza's forces.
The deserters brought news of the
disarmament Of the entire tenth bat
TALON. numbering more than 500. fol-
lowing the discovery by the federal
commander of a plot to desert to the
ssisurgent side This with the
desertions is believed to have reduced
the federal garrison by half.
Washington, Dec 90 Senior Riano,
the Spanish ambassador, acting under
orders from Madrid, formally denied
to the state department that Spanish
subjects in Mexico aided the Huerta
cause, as contended by General Villa,
who defended his action in confiscat-
ing Spanish property by. charging that
the Spanish residents of Chihuahua
violated the neutrality laws.
The state department has taken up
an investigation of the matter to de-
termine, exactly what occurred at
chihuahua. 1t is said the confiscation
OF property has practically been con-
firnned.

MISSOURI
won FINAL
VICTORY

Kansas City, Dec. 20.--Missouri won
a final victory in the cent railroad
passenger and maximum freight rate
cases when Judge Smith Mcpherson
of Red Oak, Ia, following the man
date of the supreme court of the
United States dismissed the cases fill
ed by thirteen railroads, enjoining the
state from enforcing the rate laws.
Judge Mcpherson also refused to
retain jurisdiction as asked by the
roads. AS a result shippers and trav-
elers may bring suits to recover ex-
cess rates paid during the time the
injunctions were in force. These
charges, ii is estimated, will be in ex-
cess OF $10.000,000. Costs aggregat-
ing $4,000 were assessed against the
railroads by order Of Judge McPher-
son.

Not only was it announced that the

he directed Secretary Daniels Of the

The first result was an apology by a

letter sent by Colonel Goethals under
date Of Dec. 1S to Mr.. Metcalfe was
made public yesterday:
> as Your letter Of even date with en-
closed newspaper clipping received.
No one regrets more than the at =
tacks made upon you in the public
press. That we held different views
on the question Of permanent organ
ization in no wise affected the reIa-
tons which existed between us and
the congressional hearings will show
that others entertained views similar
to yours without prejudice to them.
You were the first to inform me
that an employe of the commissary
department was circulating informa-
ton concerning the commissary, al
legng graft on the part or some Off
cialS connected with that department.
You at the same time offered your
services and expressed desire to pro-
tect the work against scandal, subse-
duently. assisting me in the prelimin-
ary investigation and in securing all
information possible In regard to the
matter.
There is no truth in the statement
that I became offended because you
recommended Mr.. Thompson as the
successor to Mr. Burke and I recog-
pized in this your desire to assist me
ibv recommending a man. you consid-
cred to possess the necessary qualif-
cations.
"The newspaper article in question
misrepresents your attitude and the
relations existing between us. No
friction has existed at any time. You

you stated you would when you first
came to the isthmus and I appreciate
the services you have rendered"
