A KING, A CRIME AND A
PREACHER,
The Internationa! Sunday School Les

The international! Sunday School Les
son for October 3 Is "EIijah In Ma
both's Vineyard."-I. Kings Oh. 81
| (By William T. Ellis.) g..
! Today's lesson shows us our old
friend Elijah again confronting wicked
King Ahab, with Queen Jezebel in the
time the incident is one of social JUS
! background, making mischief. This
| tice, when a common man was wrong
ed by the mighty king-and had Gods
doom pronounced upon him for 1t. The
timeliness of the message leads us to
! remark that if the preacher OF religion
will only stick to the bible he can find
the most pertinent truth for our own
times.
A Woman's Plot and Crime.
A few words suffice to tell the story
itself, Like the most modern OF land:
owners, King Ahab coveted an adJo1n.
ing field This belonged to Nahoth and
was his family inheritance. BY the
law of Moses he was not permitted 10
let it go out of his family So he. re-
fused to sell, and the peeved King
threw himself down on his ivory couch
and sulkcd like small boy who mas
been denied sweetmeats.
Jezebel the heather wife VINO rum
ed Ahab's career, took matters n her
oyv,,. hand. and cons pired with officials
to arrest and condemn Naboth on the
charges of treason and sacrilege. Thus,
after the most approved of modern
high-handed methods, "big business
wiped out the small competitor who
would not sell out, and Ahab got his
field. But. he never enjoyed 1t for
along came Elijah with a rlean-eut
word as to what the ultimate judge
had to. say about that sort of thing.
There is no cure for the ills of the So
cia, and commercial order like the
fear of God. ~
An Old Picture of Human Nature.
This page out of. the court lie OF
more thar twenty-five centuries ago
reads like the secret memoirs ST court
life, 1t is vivid and revealing. We
see behind the curtain, and find the
Great King .Ahab just as covetous

In the Religious World
BY VILLA M T. ELLIS.

and just as petty and Just as sulky
as a pampered palace figure today.
Human nature is human nature, and
kings and queens of old did not diff
fer greatly from men and women in
GU" own land and time. The man
sulkily accepting a decision which
he knew to be just, and the woman
unscrupulously encompassing the end
sought by her husband through foul
means, might be contemporary por-
trait
The rights of the case are clear
There is such thing as the sacred
ness of property. That principle
holds civilization together. All peo-
pies and courts have regarded it.
Formerly, property rights were
deemed superior to human rights.
Happily, we see more clearly now;
the supreme social struggle of the
past one hundred years has been to
establish the supremacy of human
rights. Some archaic minds have
not yet learned the relative value of
the two, although the. bible teach
ing Is clear. ~ a&ss
One danger, in our new social
mood, is that we shall despire prop
erty rights. These have sanctity
that the demagogue does not often
see. One high purpose of govern
ment is TO protect people in the pos
session of their just property rights,
while at the same time conserving
the welfare of the community.
When the King SuIked.
>F,ijah and Naboth are the only
two 1reditable figures in this story
Ahab acted like a spoiled boy, and
not like king. He sulked In his
palace, ard made all about him mis-
cradle by his selfshness. The pic
ture Of this royal crybaby on an ivory
cocch is not pretty one. AS for
Jezebel, she played the tigress part,
A woman without a code will go to-
even greater lengths than a man.
Her plot in which the grating off.
Gals had part, was the, same sort
of misuse of the courts of justice as
we sometimes see today. The life
of Naboti was sworn away in the

not mean that she must be conceited,
for conceit would spoil the loveliest
woman born; it merely means that
she must THINK BEAUTY.
This mentally beautiful attitude ia
q practical theory, that has moro
than once been worked out in fact.
Have you ever seen stupid face that
you would call beautiful? No, but
you haze seen many bright, animated
girls whose noses were sizes too
short and whose features didn't
match, yet whom you called good
looking. If you will think yourself
beautiful, you will gain that one
greatly desired characteristic known
as poise. And it is a psychological

Dropping for a time its amazing as- sertion that the United States has slogal and moral right" to rule the Filipnoa without their consent, ap. parendy for an Indefinite period the Tribune argues that it would be bet ter to walt awhile before giving or promising them freedom. The Jones bill Is "inopportune." There is no need of an immediate enlargement of native autonomy"
 Let us summon Q witness;
 When Abraham Lincoln gave the sanction Of his great name to Par kers words of wisdom, government of the people. for the people and by Che people" he knew that not one sin- ble clause could be omitted. If 1t be "of tho people, and flor the people 1t must be also "by the people"
 Freedom never meant the best goy- ornment in the abstract; it only meant the government best fitted to the peo- pie governed We have not the best laws In the United States that wise men could dream of What we have is tho best laws our people are iit for; and as they grow in knowledge and senae the laws follow in laggard procession. But they oilow.
 But these things, strung as they are' arc but trlfles beside the great risk VIC run of forgetting The foundation principles of our government Our ia- thers forgot them once and Lincolns Second Iradgural tells the solemn story in words as stately and sublime as ever flowed from lips inspired by God. J do not compare our possible governing of others without their par dcipation to the sin of human slavery; but, as remember the story of the Indians whom we have governed at home and of the negroes whom we are governing at hore, that time may como when ] can cAiim the credit of greot moderation speaking of the gov ernment of people utterly unknown 4.OO0 miles away

After sit- ting Q little while at tho feet Of inc spired instructors he will be able to preach the holy gospel of the initia- tive and referendum and point Lhe way to salvation through the recall.

Scri5es Decide Fight
 The fight fan is generally inclined to the belief that decisions in import ant ring battles are necessary to the longevity of the fighting game.
 The majority of critics who wit messed he recent Shugrue-White bout at Madison Square Gardm aver that White had the better of the contest, yet quite a number of them agree that the Jerseylte had tho better of the argument"
 Six of nine newspaper men who specialize on sport events, and who were at the ringside during tho fight say that the Chicago lad was the win- ner by Q slight shade These decis- ions were as follows:
 D. w. Smith, Chicago American, White.
 Damon Runyon. New York Ameri- can, White.
 w. g. Farnswirth. New York Amer ican, White.
 Bert Igoe, New, York Sun, White.
 Don Lyons New York Evening Globe, White.
 NJ. J. wathey New York Herald, White.
 Freddie Welsh, New York Ameri- can, Shugrue.
