THE Willy BERNSToRFF

Won Bernstorff, now appropriately
the German representative at the Tu"'-
lsh capital, is said to loom up as tho
prospective successor of Prince MAJ
ir,iiian as Chancellor when the Latter
has spoken his little piece and is no
longer needed for the evolution Of the
prussian stageplay.
As a contemporary says, Won Bern
Stortf is precisely the type of cunning
cruel, crocodile statesman dear to the
heart of Hohenzollern autocracy. His
record in the United States was rec
crd of shameless duplicity and dis
honor. He was a spy in the dress o.
an ambassador, cold-blooded plottcr
who prostituted high Office to con-
spiracy against the lives and interests
OF the people to whom he was accredit-
cd. His words We're svi.er than but

The increasing number of deaths in

to expedite funerals from the fact
that several may be set for one at

busy passing from one home to an

No matter how grave the condi-

is always something bordering on tic

funeral q colored woman who had
been a member of church and Of !

THE ANCIENT AND MODERN
KING.

Twenty-Five hundred years and more
ago one of the greatest OF ancient
kings. as men style greatness-con-
oycred and subjected great people
20 captivity. He made God OF his
owa for all men to worship. All pep"
ple, nations and languages tremb:ed
and feared before him. Whom he
would, he slew; and whom ne wor',s,
he kept alive; and whom he would, he
set up; and whom he would, ne put
down.
What came upon him?
When he boosted of the great city
Babylon, mistress of the World,
which he had built-while the wcrl
was in the Kings mouth, there lei!
a voice from heaven saying; 20, King
Observation-Disclosures, to thee it is spoken;
the Kingdom is departed from thee"
The scene is changed.
A great King as men style great
ness-laid a plan 20 subject the ma
tions of the world to his dominion.
He overrsn, conquered and made cap
tive the people of one small nation
after another. He worshipped and Ii
voked peculiar God, fashioned after
ms own ioeas, and thus he boasted:---
"As look upon myself as an IT.
strument of the Lord | am indifferent
to the point of view of the present
day"
'The King holds his power by the
grace of God to whom alone he is
responsible. He chooses his own path
and Only decides his actions from his
point of view."
There is only one master in this
country; | am he and | will not tole-
rate another"
"There is only one law-my law
the law which l myself lay down.
''The best word is blow-the army
and navy are the pillars of state
"The army and the Emperor al its
.ead can alone secure the safety OF
he empire and the peace of the world"
"The foreigner has learned the con
sequences of offending the German
Emperor
1T is the soldier and the army, not
majorities and votes,
hat have, welded the German En-
;irc together. My confidence rests m
IN the army" 5
Thus he spake to the soldiers Of
lis army:

A SUNDAY MEDITAFION

Text
"Be still, and know that ! am God"
Psalm 1910.
There are some sounds whi"l, are
heard only when all others are hush
ed. At this season of the year thou
sands of migratory birds are wing
iEg their way southwark to SUMMER
climates High up in the sky by day
and by night they pass over our heads,
but those who do not know the habits
OF these feathered tourists are un-
aware of their passage, and so to those
who have no time or inclination t.
look above, or to listen to their pass
ing mns,, these little migrates nass
over our heads all unnoticed.
But if one will stand and listen
in the quiet hours which come at
night when the noisy traffic of the
streets is hushed, and all is calm and
still, these little birds voices will
make the upper air vocal.
In the ancient land of Shethcm
there is city called Nablus, and
travellers tell a legend of that city.
that underneath it's streets run
streams of living water. Pct the hur-
i:ed tourist listens in vain to hear the
niurmur of these subterranean
streams. Yet if he be willing 20 wat
until the streets are quiet, and the
Eazaars ere closed, and the children
have ceased their play, and night has
fallen on the city; then, standing al
Eost anywhere, he may hear the sound
of rushing waters under his feet.
In our own southland on some
moonlight night in summer time how
often at "midnight's baby hours have
we heard borne through our windows
tie sweet song of the hooking bid.
"What power of throat and Of
lungs, the gift apostolic, the gift Of
al tongues" Perched on the topmost
twig of his favorite. tree, ne sits IKE
a monarch on his throne, and you are
quite willing to grant h!nl rnquestion-
ell supremacy among All natural mdSl-
clans. And if you have been before
uracquainted with his ways, yau won
der why you had so long overlooked
his gift as a singer. But the fault, ii
fault it be, for this lack of apprecla-
ton on ycur part, is not wholly yours
nor his. In the busy hours of the day
the sweet singer sat on that same tn1g
and poured forth his enhancing min
s:relsy in cheerful glee, but you did
not hear because his voice was drown
ed by other and louder sounds. lie
rad noisy competitors, and your mlnd
was set on other interests. To hear,
to appreciate and to enjoy his music
it was needed that he be allowed to
utter forth his sweet song when other
sounds were stilled, and it was equally
needed that your attention be udlS-
tracted by other thoughts or fanc!es.
In the feverish rusa and pressure
Of American life today, when all the
stress seems to be placed o: oar ac;i-
s!t;es and cur ability to do things

and have our still hours when We stop
