SCRIPTURE

IsaEah BILLS.

Hearken to me, ye that follow after
Righteousness, We that seek the Lord:
look unto the rock whence We are
hewn. and to the hole OF the pit whence
ye are digged-
Look unto Abraham your father. and
unto Sarah that bare you: for called
him alone and blessed him and in
creased him
For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he
will comfort all her waste places: and
he will make her wilderness like Eden
and her desert like the garden Of the
Lord: jOv and gladness shall be found
therein. thanksgiving, and the voice Of
melody.
Hearken unto ne. my People: and
give ear unto me. o my nation; for
law shall proceed from me. and Will
make my judgment to rest for light
OF the people
NV Righteousness is near. my saliva
tion is gone forth. and mine arms
shall Judge the people. the isles shall
wait upon me and on mine arms shall
they trust
Lift up your eyes to the heavens
and look upon the earth beneath. for
the heavens shall vanish away like
smoke. and the earth shall wax old like
a garment. and they that dwell therein
shall die in like manner; but my sal
walton shall be forever and my right

He taught that happiness depends
upon character. not upon ctrcum-
stances: that moral character is con-
ditioned upon spiritual regeneration
not a renovation of society He

not the abolition of the social order

immortality. For these reasons We
may safely assert that Jesus would
not be affiliated with the Socialist
party.
Yet He would certainly manifest the
keenest interest in social questions. He
would share the humanitarian spirit
of the day. He would endorse prison
reforms, work for temperance, not for
getting also to redeem the drunkard.
He would be the children's friend
again and would mercilessly seattle the
senators who sought to Obstruct the

generally red.
Unlike the balance Of the cat fam

Being lazy by nature il demands from
its mate sufficient funds TO purchase
a beverage known in circles which IL
frequents as booze" The family

The chief delight Of the Salooncat is
to leap nimbly from bar to bar during
which it frequents, emptying the dregs
left in unfinished glasses which any
bustling barkeep has failed to remove
It is fond Of accOstinE strangers for
the loan of lucre enough to purchase
its favorite beverage when its mate
is unable to supply sufficient funds by
the usual method of taking in wash

keepers who allow il to purr in silence
from midnight to 8 o'clock the next
morning. when il is generally brought
back to life by the medium Of a bucket

enemy. although the breed should not
be encouraged. as IL occurs in suf-
