by needing their Nu"'
teachings in harmony with Gods Word
Divinely appointed leadership will al
ways be marked by spiritual victories
and closer heart-relatioNlshipw with God
for the Lords Spirit leads not to
bondage, ignorance or strife, but to
love, joy, peace of heart, liberty OF
conscience.
Israel needed no legislature; for 1t
had one Lawgiver-the Lord-and the
Law given at Mt Sinai was perpetual
ly to guide the nation. The priests
and the Levites were the Divinely ap-
pointed helpers of the people-to In
struct them In the Law, to represent
them in the typical sacrificing, etc. In
each tribe the Elders, according to
their capacity, had charge of the civil
affairs OF the tribe. Soldiers they had
none; for the Divine Law was to sep
arate them from other nations, and IL
they were faithful the Lord was to be
their Protector.
Two Pictures Of National Life.
II the Book of Judges be read as a
complete history of Israel during those
four and one-half centuries, 1t would
be discouraging picture and would
give an unfair v.cw-that they were
continually suffering punishment for
sin and idolatry. The record passes
by the happy period OF Israels pros.
perity, and especially points out their
reflections from God. their punish
ments therefor, and their deliverances
through the Judges whom God raised
up for them. That this was a favOra-
BILE time for Israel IS implied I'm the
Lords promise TO restore the Judges.
The Israelites had been instructed by
the Lord to exterminate the Canaan
ties. This they had failed to do; and
later Oh the false religions OF those
condemned by God alienated the hearts
of many Of the Israelites from full
loyalty to the Lord, seducing them into
lascivious idolatry. Thus they re.
peatedly brought upon themselves the
Lords disfavor.
Applying this to Spiritual Israel, we
are not to expect that the Lords dis
pleasure with His people would delay
until they had gone completely into

r SRAEL'S history from the divi-
sion of Canaan amongst the
tribes until the amounting Of
Saul, period of $50 years (Acts
1319-2D, Is called the Period of the
Judges-Joshua being the first Judge
and Samuel the last. These Judges
were raised to their position providen-
TALLY. But as they had neither power
nor authority, collected no revenue and
could not entail the office upon others,
1t follows that whatever influence they
possessed was personal; and to give 1t
weight implied proper acknowledge
ment Of them as Divinely appointed, or
raised up"
This arrangement led the people con-
tinually to look to God for their lead
ers rather than to engage in politics, In
which personal ambition would con-
troll. Similarly Spiritual Israelites are
not to wire-pull and decide for them
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1915-03-26

These records Of Divine chastlse-
ments, of Isracrs subsequent repent
ance and of the Lords deliverance are
proofs of the Divine Love for that con-
secrated people. So far as we have I'm
formation, the Divine Power was not
thus exercised upon other nations for
their reproof, correction. etc They
were left as aliens from God and His
covenant and promises.
Isrseps Wrong Course.
Israel's government differed from all
other earthly governments. God was
their King: and In His providences, ac-
cording to His Covenant with them,
He supervised their affairs. But in
Samuel's day, the Elders, perceivlng
that his sons were unreliable and for
getting that God was their King and
the Judge merely His representative
petitioned the Prophet that he anolnt
them king.
It Is harl for ia TO sympathize with
such prayers for their own degrade
ton. The Prophet Samuel seems to
have viewed the matter from this
standpoint. He very properly went to
the Lord In prayer; lt was not for him
to decide. He was merely the Lords
mouthplcCe, to speak to the Isrnelites
whatever message he should receive
from tile Lord.

TRAMP RAID CABINS.

The Upper Middle Fork country have
been having more than their share of
excitement the past week or two, all
caused by the arrival of a transient
from Darby, Mont, who passes by the
name of Jimmie or "Jack' Evans
Evans, when he first appeared at the
E. w. johnson ranch, 80 miles above
Kooskia, two weeks ago, claimed to
have left Darby, Montana, afoot and
to have come as far as Powell station,
where the ringers sent him around by
way of Moose creek. After leaving the
upper river he came as far as the Parry
ranch where he made himself so obnox-
ious that it was finally necessary for
Mr.. Parry to order him off of the place.
He then returned to the upper river and
raided several cabins among them was
the George Bean and The Sim s cabin
ON the Johnson place. The Bean cabin
contained Mr.. Beans winter grub stake
and Evans made quite a haul there.
Sheriff Yates was notified and Deputy
VIM. Eller left at once for the scene of
Evans activities but as he is not seen
at all in the daytime but does all OF
his travelling and pilfering at night, il
is expected that some little difficulty
will be experienced in locating him.

In few years .he treaty between
the federal government and the Nez

the Indians, would like to see il expire

The treaty between Uncle Sam and
the Indians cannot be extended in its
present form. 1t has outlived its use
fulness. 1t works hardship on the
people whose land adjoins that of the
Indian, as all road work and taxes fall
on the whites. 1t also works hard
Gus ways. His land is not being worked
properly and a renter can not be ex-
pected to make the necessary improve
ments.
As to the Indian being perfectly
capable of looking after his own affairs
properly there is no doubt. He ca do
it just as well as the white man, and if
he can't do it as well, or better, .han
some of his white brethren he would
certainly make a bad mess of it The
