There was a sublime majesty In the
bearing Of Elijah throughout the en-

to be supremacy sure Of himself, be-
cause he had such implicit reliance ON
God. The prayer which he offered be-
fore the altar was brief, but 1t was
borne on the wings Of faith. 1t was
alive with the spirit Of devotion. 1t

Verses 3O-36a.-The altar Of Jehovah.
The drought was sent as a punish
ment that the people Of Israel might
learn the necessary truth that Jehovah
is the supreme ruler of the land. The
time of relief at last drew near, and
Elijah again appeared before Ahab,
when he made his terrible
ment. The prophet was received by
the king with indignation. He called
him the "troubler Of Israel (xviii, ~.
These words would have been more
appropriate If used by the king In
self accusation. Elijah did not hest
tate to make his charge as pointed
and pungent as possible. He then
made a public challenge and invited
the hosts of Baal to an open contest
which would determine the superiority
Of Jehovah or Baal.
The scene of this odd test was to be
Mount Carmel, which was held sacred
by the Phoenicians, who had there an
altar to Baal. On the same summit
there was also an altar to Jehovah.
On the appointed day the hillsides Of
Carmel were thronged with multitudes.
The lone prophet of the Most High
then came forward, with confidence in
his cause, and he invited the people to
come NEAR unto him." He was de-
termined that this would be a fight to
the finish, and so he guarded against
any probabilities which might be used

IRRITABILiTY A WARNING.
One OF Natures Danger Signals That
Should Be Needed.

Are you lnduly quick tempered? Do
you find yourself. on slight provocation.
giving vent to petty outbursts Of an
ger? Are you constantly nagging. fault
finding and complaining?
If chronic irritabllity is one of your
characteristics 1t is important for you
to recognize that fact For irritability
is always a danger signal. 1t points
to the presence Of conditions which
may be disastrous to you unless RENE
dies.
In particular, irritability means that
your nervous system is out Of gear.
This may be the result of either phys
ical or mental causes. or a combination
Of both. Usually both physical and
mental cause enter In to intensity one
another's harmful effects.
Thus the commonest of oil causes of
nervous disturbance is worry. Worry.
as Is known, interferes with all the
bodily functions. 1t Is especially dam.
aging In its influence on the digestion.
When the food Is not properly digest.
ed the nervous system is poorly nour.
ished and severely strained. 1t is also
In some degree poisoned by the circula-
ton In the blood Of substances which
would otherwise have been removed by
the eliminative organs.
All this causes a nervous tension that
may express itself In chronic "grouchi-
ness" or In frequent attacks of bad
temper. These attacks in their turn
cause increased weakening Of the d.
gestive powers.
What is needed to cure both the in
digestion and the i%rritability Is the cul-
tivation of IN optimistic attitude. The
tendency to worry, look on the dark
side Of things, must be overcome.-H.

hours of labor possible Of attainment
where labor is performed. Upon these
things there is a unanimity of opin-
ion. The organizations Of labor were
formed with these fundamental pur-
poses as the foundation, and, while the
membership will endure hardships and
contribute literally to establish the
wages and conditions sought by the
unions, they will resent the assumption
that the labor organization has the
right to direct how they shall vote by
the Endorsement Of any political party.
Labor's Slogan.
In 1905 the American Federation Of
Labor adopted its slogan:
I'VE will stand by our friends and
administer a singing rebuke to men or
parties who are either Indifferent, neg
ligent or hostile and wherever oppor-
tunity affords secur the election of In
telligent, honest, earnest trades union
lists with clear, unblemished, paid up
union cards in their possession"
The enemies Of labor legislation in
congress were singled out and their
records given wide publicity. The
trade union movement by the shorten
ing Of hours and the securing Of high
er wages has given an opportunity to
all workers to consider public ques-
tons and to instill political and civic
duty. The American Federation of
Labor laid before the toilers and the
citizenship what had been and was
transporting or the political field, but
refrained from commanding or direct
ing what they should or should not do.
Every individual member was left free
to exercise his own Judgment. No
coercion was used. If you cannot con-
vince men with facts you can much
less drive them.
The records of members of congress
are closely watched, and where a con-
spicuous opponent is found his rec
ord is made public in the district from
which he was elected. 1t matters not
to which party he belongs. 1t hap
pens at this time that there are a
greater number Of Democratic trade
union members In congress than of
any other party, but other party AN
didates for congress have received as
loyal support from the trade ~unionists
as have the Democratic trade union
congressman.
