that the hottest days we have had this

winter clothing with compounds cal.
culated to prevent the encroachment
Of moths, are to be warned by the de-

In The Religious World;
(REvIEw OF SUNDAY SCHOOL LEssoN)

ter OF Jehovah is the comfort OF PAL
ents who have dedicated their children
10 him; and It Is the support of al
who have pledged their lives to Got
in the great transaction which is tn,
mountain peak of human experience
Amid the fash and clamor of this con
fiict in old Pharaoh's court. we cal
read in clear and shining letters thu
eternal truth that Jehovah is q coven
ant-keeping God.
The Patience Of the Strong.
Whether we vieY history in the
large, or study some detailed incident
like this of the plaques, we are given
cause to marvel at the patience of the
omnipotent. Consider what God has
borne at the hands of men. Behold
how he has waited through the cen.
turtles in benign patience. Well could
the Psalmist cry that Jehovah is
slow to anger, and plenteous in
mercy" His course with Pharoah is
his course throughout life. He gave
this proud potentate one warning after
another opportunity for repentance
succeeding opportunity.
He would have been justified in
Overwhelming Egypt with one swift,
smashing blow; but, "He hath not
dealt with us after our sins, nor re-
warded us according to our iniQuities."
Watching this duel we perceive the
homely and yet lofty lesson that a
proof of strength is patience. The
wise know how to wait; the strong are
the slowest to use their strength. 1t
is the weak who are the impatient and
the excitable. Children want every
thing done on the instant. The mature
know that lin your patience We SHAH
win your souls This quality is an
attribute of the infinite; and 1t should
mark all who share his life.

Some have almost doubted the JUS
ice and mercy of God, in reading this

The plaques carry us back to the
ruth, which is fundamental to the
structure of the universe, that the SOW

and that nothing is SO seri.

THE DUEL BETWEEN KINGS.
son For August 8, 10 "The Plaques
Of Egypt" Pc. 105:23-26.
(By William T. Ellis.)

One OF the most interesting storie
IN the bible, and one which is fast
ened in the memory from childhood
days, Ia the narrative Of the ten pla
CUES OF Egypt. These were the wea
pons used by Jehovah in the great con
test with Pharoah for the deliveranct
Of the children Of Israel from bondage
The story Is replete with dramatic IN
cidents. 1t has all the thrill which 8
great contest ever excites, and then l,
has the multitude of absorbing &C
cessories, such as the shepherds roc
which in Aaron's hand became ser
pent; the clever efforts of the Egyp
tian magicians to match the miracles
the repeated interviews between the
Observation-Disclosures and Phar
aoh, with mutual defiances; and then
the nature Of the plaques themselves,
We do not have to take Pharaoh at
his own valuation, as we find his
might vauntingly set forth on the
monuments, to understand that he was
one of the two lords of the world in
his time. He was an absolute despot,
with power of life and death over
every man and woman in large sec
ton Of the known world He was wor-
shipped as God by his people. To
him Jehovah was but as one Of the
tribal gods Of the heather; the tutelar
deity of these despised Hebrews. In
such a contest Pharoah thought that
the odds were all with the builders OF
the pyramids and of the great temples.
The story is crowded with messages
for everyday life, for the struggle be-
tween God and the proud human soul
is written in the book OF the heart OF
many a man and woman who will read
these words.
The Covenant That Counts.
The modern school of fiction writ
ing plunges into the middle OF things,
with the first sentence Of the opening
chapter. The older way, which Is
truer to life, recalls what went before.
We are introduced to this spectacular
duel between deity and earthly king,
by reminders of Jehoyah's ancient COW
ellant I'VE find Abraham and Isaac
and jacob here, Their soul transac-
tions With the infinite are factor in
the great struggle in Egypt. God re-
called to Moses the covenant that he
had made with the patriarchs. He

enant had been rendered invalid be-
cause the party of the second part had
broken it? Not SO; God keeps faith.

and eternity is the spoken word OF

Editor Courier: -
In his reply to the question, care
our loved ones In heaven or not?" Mr.
Butterfield cites your readers to
l. Thess 416-17, and I. Cor. 15:51-52,
and says: These scriptures prove
there will be resurrection Of the
righteous at Christ's second coming.
Now If the good and blest are taken
to heaven when they die, what is the
purpose of Christ's second coming? It
will surely be failure if that be so,
that the good are taken to heaven at
DEATH" Then he cites Matt. 24:31 in
proof.
II you will read every verse in Matt.
"a you will see there is no thought of
"a resurrection in it. It speaks of living
people only, and has no connection
with the other citations. E tg
But are the good and blest" taken

himself, Paul said, For / am in a strait
betwixt two, having desire to depart
and to be with Christ, which is far
better" Phil 1:23 The apostle then
believed that when he died he would

while Paurs body has returned to
dust, his soul is with Christ in heaven;
then the theory of soul-sleeping is
heresy. But if we take the other horn
of the dilemma and say, they are to-

with Paul, we deny the resurrection Of
Christ And If Christ be not raised,
your faith Is vain; We are vet in your

at the same time the soul and body be

TIE TEACHING OF THE DIGGS cASE

Tn. country has had lis attention drawn sharply TO
the value Of the Mann white slave act IN the California
case. N which Maury l. Digs has been convicted OF taxing
= voung woman Of Sacramento across the California line
and into Nevada for an immoral purpose. The verdict IN
+ba D5oqs case is one which shows that the Mann act IS
Of far greater scope than had been realized, Tor III the
Diges case. and others like it, it has been thought by many
that the act would prove futile But the court conssruc-
ton Of the case is that it covers such conduct, and with
this being sustained the act will prove one OF increased
usefulness for moral betternent
Heretofore only State laws dealt with such moral trans
gre ssions by married men, and they were dealt with by
the parties wronged in the civil courts III divorce cases.
But with the Mann law there is Federal jurisdiction, be-
cause of the crossing of State lines, and criminal action
can be invoked, this a matter certain to result in good,
for it puts a price upon the mar who takes a woman from
one State to another for immoral purposes.
We have seen in this State cases where married men
carried with them to other States young women, with
nothing resulting but a scandal, a girl sacrificed, and a
man going his way untouched by the law. The result In
the Diggs case shows that there Is a law to punish the man
in such cases, and it will be welcomed as an aid for the
promotion OF morals.
The decision in California shows that the Federal law is
of wide scope. It. affects not only the carrying, or paying
for the transportation Of women to other States to enter
into OF continue immoral lives, but this traffic in girls and
women is brought down to cases OF individual misconduct
in such cases of an interstate character. Under this Fed
eral law when women, whether by coercion or by their
own consent, cross the borders Of a State with men who
take them for immoral purposes, there is punishment
ahead for the man IN cases of conviction. 1t is. a law
which passes beyond the matter of traffic in wonankind
and reaches the individual transgressor, and as such it will
be given approval as a law which will be of great benefit in
to violate Z moral law, now recognized as also a legal
sta tute.
