President Lincoln was sitting In his

great struggle that he was directing.

those waiting their turn for-all they

cry was repeated. The work Of ad-

its existence, was brought to stand
still by the cry Of an infant.
Mr.. Lincoln called an attendant.

Spirit Of God and the spirit Of Satan.
Sin has wrought death. not merely to
mans body. but to his mind. his con-
science. Ability to. discern between
right and wrong therefore varies Ad-
ditionally. some have opportunities for
instruction more than others. The
world in general knows not God, and
hence could not sin against the Holy
Spirit to a degree punishable with the
Second Death.
The Lords faithful followers were
to expect that amongst their tribula-
tions would be false accusations which
would bring them before magistrates.
The disciples. usually unlearned. would
feel great trepidation in the presence
OF educated officials. They were to
know. however. that the Lords bless
ing would be upon them. and were to
commit all to Him. Nothing In this
implies that Christian ministers should
not study their subject.-2 Tim. 2:l5.

Under the Mexican constitution the
Provisional President cannot be a

not be i'm office longer than the
period necessary to arrange an

President he may enter the Presi-
Dental race, as his friends claim he
is not military man. in the ac-
cepted sense in Mexico, even though
he has held the title of General"
in the Constitutionalist army.
The belief prevails here that
Carranza will resign in favor of a
civilian, as proposed by Villa. and
that he then will wage an active
political campaign for the Presi-
dency. lit is fully expeced that Villa
will not support Carranza at the
polls, but he has not revealed the
identity of his candidate.
1t is generally understood here
that while the formal recognition
may be extended to the Provisional
President, American forces will not
be withdrawn from Vera Cruz until

VILLA AND CARRANzA WORKING
On Same Pr0gram-Agree..O On
An Election Which May
End Strife.
WILSON ~ STILL CONFIDENT

Washington, Sept. 10.-The basis
for the recent assertion of President
Wilson that he believed Carranza
and villa would cooperate in re-
storing constitutional government in
Mexico was revealed when it be-
came known that Gen. Oregon
personal friend of Gen CarranZa
had signed the proposals of Gen
Villa for an electoral programme.
Gen. Villas proposals were laid
before Paul Fuller, personal repre-
sentative of President Wilson, at a
recent conference in Chihuahua. The
President later told callers the pro-
posals did not appear unreasonable
Mr.. Fuller had an interview with
Gen. Carranza in Mexico City to-
day, and it was reported that the
first chief also indicated his assent
to the programme mapped out by
Villa. which is as follows:
THAT convention of the dele
gates of the Constitutionalist army
be called to arrange the date of the
election for Congress. President and
Vice President.
THAT no military man be a candi-
date for President or Vice President
or for Governor of any State.

which resulted in the farmers gain

At this point DR.. Taylor being

was as follows:
