Where the Good Stumble.

BUSINESS of their own goodness and
consequent dependence thereon. That
spirit atrophies the pulsing artery OF
sympathy which binds all humanity

The Rich Man Uu Tree.
| The second story, as told In this
lesson, happened down in rich Jeri-
cho, as Jesus crossed over from Perea
| to Judea. The official head Of the tax
collectors of the district-hy his very
title a self-confessed CRATER, and by
his name renegade Jew-whom all
the community loathed and feared,
had spiritual concerns unsupported by
his fellows. High in position, Fac
chaeus was small in stature, and he
could not see Jesus for the crowds
that lined the highway. A man Of
quick decision, he flung dignity to the
wind and climbed up into a fg-syco-
more the better to see. The zeal of
the man was not without its appeal to
Jesus.
who goes an inch to God, through
doubtings dim.
God goes a mile through blazing light
to him"
Nobody ever makes an honest ef
fort to know Jesus Christ without
Christ meeting him half way. In one
of the amazing exhibitions Of grace,
which each redeemed sinner thinks
must be peculiar to his own case, Je-
sus called to Zacchoeus and offered
to be his guest while in Jericho.
Somewhere between a branch Of
that tree and the ground Zacchaeus
was converted. He made haste to
come down and joyfully acclaim Jesus
as his Master. While the censorious
crowds were grumbling over the fact
that Jesus was showing favor to
known sinner, Zacchaeus was giving
proof of his repentance.
One characteristic of BILLY Sun
days campaigns is that his converts
make restitution. Every community
he visits is full Of stories of men who
when converted straightway have
gone to pay their bad debts and to
atone so far as possible for past
wrongs or failures. That is the first
evidence the world demands Of a
changed life Zacchaeus declared he
would give his goods to the poor and
that he would restore with Mosaic in
terest all the graft he had extorted.
Out Of such material as Zacchaeus,
despised publican but saved sinner,
Jesus erected his new kingdom. Not
the powerful and proud Pharisees,
but sinners who were sorry became
the pillars Of the new kingdom which
Jesus inaugurated.

Southampton, June 18.-"I will

Col. Roosevelt to-day momen-
tarily broke his role of silence in
regard to politics in order to make
this declaration while he was pro-
ceedIng on board the tender to
embark on the Imperator for
New York.
Col. Roosevelt suffered from a
severe attack of chill while on
board the tender. 1t was the
first occasion on which he had
felt the chill since he left New
York and explained that it was
merely a recurrence of the effects
of the jungle fever, which was
to be expected.
Emphasis was laid by Philip
Roosevelt on a statement that
the colonel was not suffering
from any disease of the larynx,
but from WEAKNESS, which would
prevent him from speaking from
the platforms of trains and SINH
