MESSIAH TO ASK FOR THE HEATHEN

The Redeemer Has Not Yet * Med For His Inheritance. 6 • World-wide Dominion Promised Messiah—The Conversion of tho Heethen Shortly to Bo Accomplished—Messiah’s Conquest of the Nations —The Arrows of Truth Will Reach Men's Hearts From the Quiver of Divine Wisdom, Justice and Love—Force to Be Employed In Putting Down All Opposition—Death to Be Destroyed.

PASTOR RUSSELL

text, taken from a Messianic Psalm, represents Messiah as making known to His people the Heavenly Father’s decree rewarding Him for His faithfulness as our Redeemer and assuring Him of His exaltation to the Kingdom, with power to subject all things to the Father’s will. This dominion has not yet come to Messiah. The Prince of Darkness still reigns. The reason for this, the Pastor explained, is that our Redeemer has not yet asked for His inheritance. Knowing the Divine Plan, our Lord was content to wait until the due time, in harmony with another feature of that Plan which must precede the setting up of the Messianic Kingdom. That feature is the selection of the Church, the Bride of Christ. ■ —* The Pastor next showed that meantime the heathen have been suffering no loss. Born in sin, condemned to death, all of Adam’s family have had experiences with sin and death, and have been going down into the tomb —the prison-house of death—there to remain until the Redeemer at His Second Advent shall call them from their graves. Then a fair trial will be given them, to determine their worthiness or. unworthiness of life everlasting. It was part of the Divine purpose, he explained, that the earth should be filled with people; and hence the bringing forth of a progeny is part of the Divine will. The few years of this life, with experience of sin and death conditions, will be supplemented by the grand opportunities of the next Age. Converting the World. Then the Pastor contrasted God’s method of dealing with the world In general with that which He adopted for the Church during this Age. In the next Age, force will be used, not merely moral suasion. Mankind will be compelled to be obedient. Numerous Scriptures were quoted to sustain this position. Among these Psalm 45. This Ps&lm, the Pastor declared, is descriptive of Messiah’s triumph during the Millennial Age—a picture of the conversion of the heathen. The arrows of Truth, which will go forth to the whole world, will reach the hearts of men and will smite them down. To illustrate the thought the speaker reminded his audience that when St. Peter preached that the Jews had crucified the Son of God, his hearers were ‘‘cut to the heart”—pierced with the lance of Tnith. The Pastor holds that this work of dealing with the world will begin with the generation living at the time of the establishment of Messiah’s Kingdom. Ultimately it will include all that are in their graves, in the reverse order of that in which they entered. The lust will come forth first—"every man In his own order,” or class. Referring to the Second Psalm, the Pastor appled it to the time of our Lord’s Second Coming, when the Church will have entered into His glory as “the Bride, the Lamb’s Wife,” symbolically pictured as the New Jerusalem. From that Heaveuly City, according to St. John, the Water of Life will flow freely, and whosoever will may purtake. Meantime, the speaker declared, before the nations will be ready for that blessing, they must pass through a period of deep humiliation—“a Time of Trouble such ns was not since there was a nation." The extent to which the nations will suffer at that time will deiteml largely upon their own attitude, the Pastor believes. He bases his opinion upon the verse following his text. Those that accept Messiah’s Rule heartily will be correspondingly saved from the breaking process. Hence the exhortation. “Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way.” The Glorious Outcome. The Pastor concluded with a brief summary of God’s Plan of salvation. First He has selected The Christ—Jesus the Heud, und the Church His Body—through whom He purposes to bless all the families of the earth This blessing will consist of a knowl- I edge of Himself. His glorious charac- I ter, and also of nu opportunity for life everlnstlug. The Scriptures, he declared, do not authorize us to claim universal salvation, but distinctly speak of some who will die the Second Death. These will hnve demonstrated fully that they are not in harmony with the principles of righteousness, and therefore unworthy of life everlasting.

March B.—Pastor Russell’s discourse today related to the fulfilment of Jesus’ prayer. “Ask of Me, and 1 shall give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession.”—Psalm 2:8. The Pastor declared that his

INSECTS MAKE LOVE AND ARE JEALOUS

Pop the Question with Many a Flirt of Body; Showing Off Their Attractions HARVARD PROFESSOR’S THEORY William M. Wheeler, of Bussey Institute, Describes the Emotional Life of Grasshoppers, Crickets, Scorpions, Butterflies and Other Bugs. Cambridge, Mass. —When a man is head over heels In love; when he Is torn by jealousy; when hatred of a rival possesses him, he often becomes a “bug,” to use an expression rather slangy. Still, it is surprising that when an insect is filled with love, Jealousy or hate, It becomes more of a bug than ever. Prof. William M. Wheeler of the Bussey Institute, Harvard University, has been deeply interested in the question, “Have insects an emotional life?” Prof. Wheeler has been carefully studying grasshoppers, crickets, scorpions, butterflies, and many other insects. He declares there are strong indications that all of them feel jealousy, hate and love, and that they display physical courage at exactly the proper moment. Besides, some of these small creatures are love-makers as expert as a nobleman with an old title and without a penny, who woos a millionaire’s daughter. “It is a mistake to think that only the higher animals have definite methods of love-making,” said Prof. Wheeler. The fact Is that scores of Insects have really complicated methods of attracting mates. Some of these methods are the conventionalities and traditions of insect courtship. “Just as among human beings, nearly all insects seek to attract mates either by their brilliant colors and good looks or by some weird accomplishment. On the other hand, the female In every species of Insect life affects a manner of great coyness.” Prof. Wheeler then described the method of the scorpion beau to Introduce himself to a lady scorpion. “The male scorpion, having gained the attentlonlSf ~th¥~female, advances" toward her with a sort of sidewise, hesitating walk. As they fapproaeh the walk slows to a very deliberate advance. At a little distance they halt and gaze intensely-into each other’s eyes.” “What beautiful eyes you have," - says the human to the object of his affection. To return to the scorpion. “Then, still seeming to gaze Intently at each other, they raise themselves vertically and hold this position for several minutes. After this introduction the scorpions take a sort of promenade, one of the most serious features of the love-making programme.” Prof. Wheeler described the wooing of some species of spiders: “The male, having selected his bride, advances to her, gazes at her for a moment and then begins a, weird dance. He leaps Into the air, balances himself first on his fore and then on his rear legs, and goes through a series of antics, all of which the female regards with great complacency. At the end of the dance the spider approaches the female and claims her as his bride.” Like a love-sick swain who twangs his guitar beneath her gallery, a cricket or a grasshopper serenades his lady love. And a cricket fights tor her, duels with his rival before her eyes. Said the professor: “Nearly always these duels are fought in the presence of the desired one, and in true mediaeval fashion. The maiden, concealed near by, watches the conflict with great interest until the victor conquers his rival and carries her off as his mate.”

TREASURE UNDER OLD CASTLE.

Tower Accident Leads to Its Demolition. Lisbon, PortugaL—lt la reported that a great find of treasure has been made at Alcazaba. Several centuries ago a castle was built to defend the town against the Moorish Invaders. It was erected on the top of a hill, and recent earth tremors in those parts have caused the old castle to collapse and have also destroyed neighboring edifices. Recently the tower fell and some of the stones burled a house, killing two of the occupants and injuring seven others. Thereupon the authorities decided to demolish the castle, snd during an exoavatlon in the deep dungeons a number of skeletons, evidently prisoners who hsd died In Jail, were brought to light Two iron chests were also ed,and when opened they were found to be full of old Spanish and Portuguese gold and Bilver cobyu At the bottom of the chests were n number of gold snd silver bars. The whole is estimated to be worth over $150,000. Half this treasure trove will go to the Government, and the othef half to the workmen who discovered It

BVgNINtx REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

WANTED—A LANGUAGE.

Norway Is Tired of Speaking MadeOver Danish. Norway has a new King. That he is comparatively new. Some of the varnish may have rubbed off by this time, but to all Intents and purposes the King is new. Norway now wants a new language. The national Parliament passed a bill authorizing the change, though it has not yet advertised for bids or let the contract. Indeed, there seems to be a disposition to make the new language out of old materials. This will be a great saving, which means some little to a country with the slender purse of Norway. It seems that the present written and spoken tongue of the country is a made-over Danish. There have been some very slight modifications in the pronunciation and the grammar, but Danish and Norwegians understand each other at once and the literatures of the two countries are really a unit. But from time immemorial there have lurked in Norway many peasant dialects, dialects that vary so much that peasants from one end of the country talk Greek to peasants in another end. These tongues are rich and racy, they are alive they smell of the soil and they throb with the heart. Fifty years or more ago there came into* fashion an effort. to preserve these tongues in the country’s literature. The wrlttem language began to gather up qualities of these expressive spoken terms. Bjornson headed the movement and started the fashion, and his books borrow some of their remarkable qualities from this broadening of his vocabulary. That broadening carried with it a broadening in interests and sympathies. Fron these healthy beginnings there grew up a widespread endeavor that soon overshot itself, become an exaggeration and received its proper epithet in “maalstraveri.” From innocent enrichment of the language the enthusiasts passed to the point es attempting an entire upheaval of the language. Bjornson suddenly became a purist and set himself against this tide of wholesale lconoclasm. Now it is quite possible that some change may actually appear In the Norwegian tongue. Parliment has voted that examinations in the Norwegian vernacular shall be imposed upon pupils in the schools, along with study of the existing forms of speech. The peasants really forced this measure through. They hold a large hand in the national assembly, and their vanity had been reached when it seemed that they had been called upon to supply their land with a language. First, the “Landsmaal” was “recommended” as a study. Then it was made optional. Soon teachers were required to possess a very good knowledge of it. Now the last step is this act which compels the pupils In the secondary schools to learn two Norwegian languages, one with a literature good for everyday use, the other one a product of pedantic philologists—for by now the so-called “Landsmaal” has dwindled into an artificial effort of the linguists, who in their passion, for order and exactness, have robbed the poor thing of its original life and vigor. There is in Norway an exaggeration of the nationalistic idea. There is a tendency to exclude foreign capital and foreign enterprise. This language deal seems another ultra-nat-ionallstle extravagance. Fortunately for the present is appears to be nothing but a temporary ecstasy of temporarily predominant peasants. The-whole future of Norway consists in its Europeanisation.—Boston Transcript.

SPAIN’S EDUCATIONAL SCALE.

In Some Provinces 00 per oent of Population Are Illiterate. The welcome advent of one Spanish child may perhaps, be the cause of a quickened Interest in the welfare of his little compatriots. There is need of it. A contemporary draws attention to s description In Nuestro Tiempo of the present miserable condition of elementary education la Spain.- Senor Jose Roc amors, the writer, says that in the best-educat-ed provinces 40 per oent. of the inhabitants can neither read nor write, while in many provinces the proportion is as high as 60 per oent As the total vote for ednoation only amounts to about £1,100,000 it is not surprising to learn that in the whole es Spain there are not so many teachers as in New York alone, while 120 a year Is reckoned a fair salary. Many of the schools have no furniture; some are even destitute es floors and windows, the children having to stand on the bare earth, while light and air are admitted through the open door.

TELEPATHY UNITES BOY WITH A SISTER

Had Been Separated Since Time of His Adoption Thirteen Years Ago MEETING IN NEW YORK CITY While He Was In Doorway Thinking of Her and Wishing Hard She Awoke and Determined to Find Him. New York. —Andrew Silagl, thirteen years old, an orphan who had run away from his foster father, spent a sleepless night lying on the hard boards of a hallway on the east side. In his waking hours he wept and wished that he could find his sister, of whom he had heard vague stories from the man who had adopted him. On the same night his sister, Mrs. Lizzie Romain, of New Brunswick, N. J., suddenly awaked from her sleep with an overpowering fear that something was wrong with her brother, who had been given away for adoption when three months old and whom she had not seen for thirteen years. This strange case of telepathy sulted in the reunion of the brother and sister after a three weeks’ search by Mrs. Romain. Brother and sister met at the headquarters of the Children’s Society. The boy, who was a half orphan from birth, was adopted by John Wass, of Hicksville, N. J. It was stipulated that he should not he seen by any member of his family until he was fifteen years old. Andrew lived for thirteen years with Mr. Wass. He was a good boy, but high spirited. One day while correcting the boy for some prank Mr. Wass told him that he was not his father and that his only relative was a sister. The lad several days later ran away from home and came to New. York. He Bought work unsuccessfully, and tor a week went hungry and slept In hallways, always thinking of his sister and wishing that he could reach her. Robert McDowell, of No. 202 Avenue C, found him In front of his home and took him to the Children’s Society. The boy was unable to give any account of himself, except that he had lived in New Jersey, and with this clew the agents of the society began a hunt for his relatives. Mrs. Romain at the same time was conducting a search of her own for her brother. Immediately after she received the telepathic message she went to Hicksville to try and locate Mr. Wass. She found tnat he had moved to Perth Amboy, but was unable to learn his address. An advertisement located Mr. Wass, but, to her dismay, Mrs. Romain heard that the boy had run away several weeks before. The only clew which Mr. Wass was able to furnish was that the lad had threatened several times to visit New York. Mrs. Romain came here and was directed to the Children’s Society. Accompanied by the man who had adopted her brother she went to the society’s rooms, and the first boy brought out for inspection was the bay she wanted to see. When the lad learned the identity of the woman who was looking at him so Intently with tear filled eyes he rushed into her arms, crying: “Oh, I knew that I would find you! I wished so hard for It!” “So did I, dear,” replied Mrs. Romain. “I felt your wishes all of the time." Neither Mrs. Romain nor her brother could discuss the telepathic phase of the matter, nor did they care to. Both were too happy over the reunion. Mrs. Romain immediately took steps to obtain the custody of the body. At the time of the adoption no legal steps were taken, Mr. Wass merely having promised to bring up the boy as he would a son of his own. He was willing to transfer the custody of the lad to the sister. Mrs. Romaln’s husband is a foreman in one of the departments of a big manufactory in New Brunswick. He easily made it clear that financially he was able to care for the boy. The lad then was turned over to his sister. Joyfully the two left the society's building for Mrs. Romain’s home, at No. 32 Eastern avenue, New Brunswick. “I believe it was a case of telepathy,” said Mr. Hedley, of the Children’s Society. “We never would have found the boy’s relatives If Mrs. Romain had not begun her search at the same time.”

MOTOR RACE WITH COYOTE

Animal Kept Lead for a Mile but Propped, Exhausted and was \T~ Captured. Los Angeles, Cal.—ln a thrilling race between a tour cylinder automobile speeding at thirty miles an hour and a young coyote in the Santa Inez valley, the animal lost to the driver of the big machine and became a captive at the home of B. F. Coons. It was brought to this city in a cage and an effort made to domesticate it The animal failed to escape only through sheer exhaustion after It had maintained a lead for nearly a mile. Mr. Coons was Inspecting a ten thousand acre tract in Santa Barbara county when the contest in occurred. His son wasf in the driver’s seat “For almost a mile we turned the machine loose for all its speed, but the coyote kept in advance, and for a time appeared to be gaining,” said Mr. Coons. “Once it stopped suddenly, as if to let us pass and escape before we could turn, but .we slowed down In time. Instantly it took a new start and went like the wind ahead of us. “We saw that the exertion was proving too much for the animal, and It slowed down and fell panting on 'the edge of the road. It recovered In a short time, however, and attempted to fight, but we muzzled It with a piece of rubber tire. We will try to tame it, and if we are not successful It will be given to one of the parks.”

OLDEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD.

Bulgarian Peasant Said to Have Been Born In 1784. Berlin. —The claim of Frau Dutkiewltz, of Posen, born on February 21, 1785, to be the oldest woman In the world Is now contested by Mrs. Baba Vasilka, who was bom in May, 1784, In the little Bulgarian village of Baveisko, where she has lived ever since. The record of her birth is preserved In a neighboring monastery of the Orthodox Greek laith. Baba Vasilka is the daughter of a peasant, and worked as a peasant up to a comparatively recent date. For more than a hundred years she regularly worked in the fields, according to the custom of her country, where women are employed in all sorts of manual labor. When she was born Bulgaria was merely a province of the Turkish Empire, and the entire population groaned under the tyranny of their Turkish rulers. She lives on a pension paid to her by many of her numerous descendants, who number more than one hundred.

DOOMED TURTLE’S REVENGE.

Snaps Off a Gas Pipe and Asphyxiates Farmer Jacobs’s Chickens. South Norwalk, Conn. —A snapping turtle weighing forty pounds cost the lives of one hundred chickens and three pigs in Herman Jacobs’s barn at Roton Point. Incidentally two of Jacobs’s farmhands were made 111 by inhaling illuminating gas. After a hard fight Jacobs‘captured the turtle in a swamp recently. He chained it to a stake in bis backyard and started to fatten It, Intending to invite his friends to a turtle supper. The turtle got loose and crawled Into the model barn, which contains a gaß plant Without the slightest apparent inconvenience to itself, the turtle snapped off a gas pipe. The gas, escaping in large quantities, soon filled the barn. In the bam were a hennery and a piggery; the unfortunate chickens and pigs were asphyxiated quickly; the farm hands, looking for the leak, inhaled much gas. The turtle also inhaled so much gas that it swelled and appeared In prime condition. But Jacobs knows this appearance is deceptive. He decided to continue to fatten the turtle and serve it to his friends if only for vengeance sake.

The fish was Bold for $126.50, the highest price ever paid for a fish of this description. The sword cut from the fish weighed twenty-five pounds. The fish was harpooned by Seaman Perry from tbe schooner’s pulpit, and three dories, manned by nine men, went after him. It carried the 300 feet of line and the half-keg buoy half a mile from the schooner and more than two hours’ time was consumed to get him.

WHERE ICE CREAM ORIGINATED

Philadelphia Saw Ita Birth liitth Over a Century Ago. Ice cream making has become an industry, and, aa from tbe beginning of the manufacture in this country more than a century ago, Philadelphia is its home. Theft is to be found the largest ice cream manufactory in the world, having a capacity of 32,000 quarts of frozen cream a day. But thla is only one planL There are probably a dozen more with a combined capacity about equal to that of tbe first mentioned. All told, about 50,000 quarts of ice cream are made in that city every day In the summer months, and a few thousands less a day during the rest of the year. When it was first Introduced into Philadelphia ice cream making was conducted upon a scale so modest that even poetic license would not permit it to be tormed an industry. On the front page of the Aurora, a daily newspaper, for July 22, 1200, appeared what is regarded the first ice cream advertisement ever inserted in an American newspaper. From this advertisement it is learned that “Bossee's Ice Cream House” was in Germantown, nearly opposite the Spread Eagle Tavern. Those wluLare familiar with the free-and-easy way in which the term “nearly opposite” formerly was used in locating a building will understand that it would now be almost Impossible to correctly locate this place. It is only by inference based upon such facts as old directories of the city offer than anything can be learned of the Frenchman who brought to Philadelphia an Industry whioh wss to make it famous and leave Its Inventor unknown. In Scharf A Weecott’s history he is named Bosio, and is described as a Spaniard. As the name Peter Bossu, whioh waa pronounced Bosse, first appears In tne directory as the keeper of a boardinghouse at 75 North Water street. It Is fair to infer that ha wss s Frenchman who had fled from *Franoe. In 1795 It is seen that U. Bosses had removed to 12 South Fifth street on the east side, nine houses below Walnut. At that address his occupation is given as French wine merchant. In 1301 he is described as Peter Bossee, “eating house.” It was during this periodthat his icecream house wss opened, and it is pardonable to suppose that ice cream oould have been obtained at his eating house. In 1802 it is seen that he moved further down Fifth street, te No. 83, where he kept a coffee house. After this date his name dess net appear. The invention of lee cream Is ascribed to a French chef of the Duke of Chartres in 1774. I cm warn not easy to obtain in Philadelphia during the summer months a century ago. Robert Wharton, four times Mayor of the city, who lived in a big house on Third street below Spruce, appears to have had the monopoly, and, as an old Philadelphian wrote many years ago, "dispensed lea rather grudgingly to customers, a few being private families, the mineral water druggists and the very few who made ice cream.” The witter was relating an incident es the year 1812:""

GROWS AS CANNIBALS.

Young Sparrows a Favorite Tidbit With the Sable Birds. A Milton man discovered sens thins new to him in natural history the other day. He lives in a home Whose eaves are mneh beloved es English sparrows (or nest making. The landlord called the other dag and found the eaves filled with spar* rows’ nests. The landlord has a hatred of English sparrows, and besides, their nests choke drains and pipes. Therefore he immediately proceeded to get a ladder and tear out every nest. He flung them down viciously without regard for the inhabitants er the feelings es the feathered proprietors. After his departure the wife of the Milton man discovered that one of the nests that had been thrown to the ground contained three young birds, who cheeped loneeomely, te the great agitation of the hosts es sparrows who gathered around and chattered vigorously. Her heart was touched. She could not bear te see the young birds die of slow starvar tlon, so when her husband cams home she begged him to put the nest whom the parent birds oould reach their young. While they were debating an te the best place in which to put the neat a wandering oat slesed one of the young birds and fled with It. The husband then picked up the Mat and carried it to a clomp of woods near th# house, whore he plaoed It in the crotch of a tree .trusting that the old birds would find thetr young there and feed them. It was some time after that a tremendous chattering and squawking was heard in the clump of woods. The man of-the house went out to investigate and found the tress sunrounding the nest black with crown. They were cawing qway at s grant rate, while droves of sparrows tattered around chattering angrily. Ha went up and looked Into the nail which he had placed in the tree crotch.| It was empty.
