Wanted Burden Lifted.

Leonard is only four years old, but he frequently uses expressions amaz- ingly mature. The other day, for in- stance, he appealed to a devoted young aunt to remove from his sphere of existence the new little baby sis ter of whom he had become jealous. The tiny lad was at some pains to explain that while he didn't want baby himself, she was so sweet and dear that plenty of other people would.
 But why don't you want to keep her, Leonard?" asked auntie, divided between surprise and amusement.
 "Oh, she's such bother, an nam ma has to fuss with her so much, an she makes me just suffer" the young ster gravely explained

Worshiped the Nile.


 The Psalmist then turns to the first of the historic plaques. The Egyp- tians were so dependent upon the Nile that they personifed 1t and worshiped 1t. They had shed the blood of the Israelites and were given blood to drink see Rev. 1895, and Gal. 6:7. The third plague was directed against the goddess "Hekt," queen of two worlds, and who was represented by a frog-like figure, see Ex. 8:8. It was after this calamity that Pharaoh tenn poriZed. The third and fourth plaques are grouped together in verse 31 God often uses very little things to humble the great ones of earth. Life is made up of trifles. but life Is no trif1e. Pha- raoh had proudly boasted of his agnos- ticism (Ex. 5:2) but when he sought to try conclusions with God and said, Neither will I let Israel go" God let him wrestle with frogs, lice and flies. We thus see a man setting himself against God who is not able to over come these smallest of pests. As we have mentioned, the fifth and sixth plaques are omitted from this record, hence the plague mentioned in " 32 Is in reality the seventh (Ex. 9. It was rebuke to the God of the air, and from Rev. 8:7 and 16:21 we learn that it is to be repeated in the end of time.
 Though Israel was free from the eighth, the plague of locusts (v. 34) they did suffer from like experience in later days, Joel 1:1-7 These small pests can turn a fruitful land into a barren waste.
 But the eliminating plague (v 36) was the smiting of the first born Even Israel could not escape thIs calamity except by the previous shedding of blood, Ex. 12 3-18 God gave Pharaoh ample warning, Elk. 4:23. Refusing to yield under the lesser judgments, God brought this supreme penalty, smiting all the first born, "the beginning of all their strength" (R. " marg. V. 36). Gods word gives us ample warning of the penalties that shall come upon those who persist in their disobedi- ence and rebellion.
 By careful reading of the revised version of the account of the plaques everything focuses about Pharaoh and two words are used to depict his at titude. The first denotes fixity and the second heaviness, stubbornness or stupidity. At first Pharaoh is de scribed by the first word but after wards the second word is used to de scribe his condition and acts. God sought to strengthen his will, to give him fixity of purpose but his own acts were those of stubbornness. Every visitation in judgment was an oppor tunity for Pharaoh to arouse himselt to obedience.

 GOLDEN TEXT-"whosove shall exalt himself shall be humbled and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted."- R. V. Matt 23:12.
 While this Psalm is succinct state ment of all that Is contained in Exo- dus. chapters to 12, still no teacher can judge himself as having made proper preparation who has not stud fed carefully the earlier record. Be ginning with those of discomfort the plaques become more and more se- were until the last and the crowning one, the death of the first born, caused the Egyptians to thrust out the Israeli ltes with haste and gladness, laden with an abundance of spoil" Pharaoh trusted in the superior greatness of the Egyptian gods. he also had great pride In his absolute power and hated to lose the profitable service of his Hebrew slaves. Over against this was Gods right to demand the wor- ship of his chosen people, Gods pro- fuse warnings to the proud Egyptian, and the inevitable outcome of the man, tribe, or nation who sets up hu- man will in opposition to the plans of an Omnipotent God. True thanksgiv- Ing and praise are based upon His marvellous works" (y. 5 R. VI
 Israel Made Strong.
 l. The Induction of Israel Into Egypt, w. 23-25. By Israel" in verse 23 the Psalmist does not refer to the nation but rather to the supplanter who became Israel, a prince" His induction into Egypt was in accord ance with Gods purposes and plan, yes. his specific command, Gen. 46;2-7, Acts 1915. God increased the de- 5cendants of Israel greatly in the land of Egypt, see V. "A, At the same time God made those same descendants stronger than their "adversaries" on account of the fact that Jehovah fought on their side, see Rom. S:31.
 II. The Exodus Of Israel From Egypt w. 26-36. Now the Psalmist is referring to the nation In Exodus there are recorded ten plaques, here there are mentioned but eight. The plague of the murrain of beasts and the plague of boils, the fifth and the sixth are here left out for some req son best known to the Psalmist
 God saw the afflictions of Israel but sends relief through human agents. Moses was Gods servant" (v. 26) and Aaron His chosen" q Sam. 12:6) so also is every true believer. Their work has to "shew" (y. 27) Gods won- ders in the land of Egypt (Ham). They were to shew His" wonders, signs, the Words of His signs" (R V. marg), and none of their own. In other words they were to be the vis- lble embodiment of Gods character and power The Psalmist in his cata- logue mentions (v. 2S) the ninth plague first. This was directed against the sun god and while darkness was over Egypt, it was light for Israel in Goshen. The Psa1mist calls attention to the reformation (read Ex. 9:24-26) which was only transitory, and stern- er methods were necessary on Je- hovah's part If men reject him who Is the light they must of necessity re- ceive the punishment of darkness be- cause of their rebellion.

Mr.. Bryan in California.

Between the assumed treaty rights
of the United States and the pre-.
served rights of the states is a gulf
and the republicans did not hesitate to
cross that gulf with small regard fol
the rights of the states.
The Wilson administration will do
nothing to impair the rights of the
states. Secretary Bryan, speaking In
Sacramento, frankly admitted the
right of California to pass rigid
land law barring Orientals from land
ownership. He carried to California no
new theory of state rights. All he
asked in Sacramento was delay for
the general good.
The bill, which was drawn at Sacra-
mento last night "in strict con-
formity with the treaty between Japan
and the United States" may lead to
an amicable adjustment. While Mr..
Bryan declined to comment for publi-
cation upon the new bill the progress
sive leaders said they felt confident
that a solution of the problem had
been reached which would receive the
Endorsement of President Wilson.
The sending of Secretary Bryan to
Sacramento to present the views of
the President was sensible thing to
do. Mr.. Bryan will know when he re-
turns just what public sentiment on
the problem is in California, and
through him the President will be in
formed. The administration is doing
all that can be done to prevent fric-
ton with a friendly nation, and Japan
will soon look at the subject without
indulging in any excess of anti-Ameri-
can feeling.
