Preparations for the opening of the local theatrical season are now well under way. Testenlay J. Rush Bronson arrived from Los Angeles. Cal., to take charge of the Grand Opera House for M. C. Anderson, the le?see, who directs his theaters generally from his office at Cincinnati. Mr. F-ronson has been connected with the offtee? of the Orpheum circuit of vaudeville theaters, on tho Pacific coast, for several years. "Our season will open two weeks from next Monday," said Mr. Bronson yesterday. "The theater will be cleaned thoroughly. "We have booked the best act In vaudeville for our circuit, but a yat the dates hav not been arranged 10 that I can announce the bill for the first week at the Grand. We will not only have the American 'headUners,' but also many European acts new here will h presented." The sale of seats for AI G. Field's minstrels performance at English's Monday night opened yesterday mornine, and the demand was surprisingly heavy. Py evening the ticket beard seemed to say that the house will be filled. The season at the Park Theater Is three weeks old and the business has been excellent. The last two performances of "The Denver Express" will be given to-day. Al W. Martin's production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will come Monday to stay three days, and the sale of seats for it has begun. The last thre days of next week a new melodrama. "At Valley Forge," a story of the revolutionary war, will be plaved at 'he Park. Ed F. Rush's lion-Ton Rurlesquers will open the season at the Empire Theater cn Labor day, a week from next Monday. ROGERS BROTHERS NEW SHOW. Description of "In WashlnKton" Trodnrrd Thla Week In rtaffalo. The Klaw & Erlancer Ccrnedy Company, with the Rogers Urothers. began its fourth annual tour in John J. McNally's new vaudeville farce. "Tho Rogers Brothers in Washington." at the Star Theater, in Buffalo, this week. After a two weeks engagement there it begins a long run at the Knickerbocker Theater, In New York, opening Monday, Sept. 2. This season the company numbers over seventy persons, with a chorus of thirty-seven girls. The principals are Eugene Jepson. Gus A. WeinImrpr, William W st. Pat Itooney, jr., James Cherry, John B. Hendricks, William Torney. Hattie Williams, Grace Freeman, Emma Francis. Jrannette Bageard. Edith St. Clair, May Taylor, Nora Bayes. Georgia Irving and Elsie Davis. The story is told In three scenes first, the reception room of the Democratic Club, on Fifth avenue, New York; second, a section of the botan ical gardens in Washington, with the Capitol building as a background, and third, the Court of Fountains at the Pan-American exposition in Buffalo, showing the great electric tower. The story is a broadly humorous skit on practical politics constructed in a skeleton form to allow the Introduction of a larse number of specialties. Alfred Harrlman loves Maude, the daughter of an old New York politician, who objects to the match. Dying, he leaves a will permitting the marriage on condition that Harritrmn secures his election to Congress as a Republican In nn overwhelmingly strong Democratic district in New York city. Harrlman calls Fuller Guffe, a strenuous politician, to his aid and he conceives the scheme of splitting the Democratic vote in the district by running two Ignorant Germans. Carlos Chauffs and Louis Lauffs. against the regular nominee ami Harrlman. ChaufTs and LaufTs make their first appearance as politicians at a "ladies' night" reception at the Democratic club. This starts that lowcomedy hilarity which tho?e familiar with the Rogers brothers can readilv imagine proves prolific of laughter. A subplot Introduces a say old judge carrying on a desperate flirtation with an up-to-date young woman named Maizl Mahnnl. These tarts are played by Eugene Jepson and Hattie Williams. In the scene laid in Washington the Rogers brothers appear as contestants for the seat in Congress claimed by Harrlman In one of their "conversations" they tell how they will conduct themselves and what they will do for this country when they are seated In Congress. The storv is so constructed that the movement to Buffalo Is a natural sequence of the events la the second act. and here the fun continues till the final discovery that Harrlman is entitled to his election Ihthu. the Germans have never been naturalized. Several of the musical numbers arc "The Girl of Greater New York." "Get Next tu the Man with a Pull" and "Ma Ebonv Belle" in the first act. "Diplomacy" and "The Wedding of the Heuben and the Maid" in the second and "At the PanAmerican." "American Campaign Cries" nil "My Bunco Quon" in the third. The unusually conspicuous ensemble features are the opening chorus in the second act. "lTTS-l'sd." "The Watermelon Partv" and "The March of the Klectrlc Light Cadets."

"There is one accomplishment that selfsupporting women would do well to acquire," remarked a tired doctor, "and that is reading aloud. For people who are convalescing or suffering from a slow, tedious aliment I know of no attention more beneficial than occasional entertainment of this kind. I recommend it for all my patients, but I often have trouble in filling my own prescription for the simple reason that it is hard to find a person whose voice is soothing to hypersensitive nerves of an invalid. "In the homes of the well-to-do one would naturally expect to find the women of the family possessed of voices so well modulated that their reading would be a pleasure to the ear. but in reality such is seldom the case. Invariably when I prescribe a course of light reading as an antidote to pain and weariness the patient replies with the question, 'But who is going to do the reading?' "The jsual upshot of the matter is that I volunteer to send somebody in to read for an hour or so each day. and then it Is up to me to provide the reader. This is not easy to do, for while very few native-born Americans are illiterate, there are still fewer who are fitted to dispel the tedium of a sick room by turning themselves into professional readers. Not infrequently I find voices whose tones are agreeable, but when I put the owners to the test of reading I find that they pronounce badly. Inflect still worse and. in short, fall to get any meaning out of the article Riven them. They probably get at the gist of it for themselves, but they totally fall to convey it to another. "It behooves women to set about effecting a combination of the graces of a pitasant, expressive voice, correct pronunciation and quick perception of the meaning of a phrase. If they will accomplish this task they will find agreeable work to do." Good Enough for au Old Friend. New York Tribune. "I find being too intimate with people rather a disadvantage than otherwise." remarked a popular woman recently. "If you are there Is apt to come a time when you are r.o longer a persona grata, but merely a friend that can be treated anyhow 'just like one of the family' and yet be relied upon never to take offense. When vour hestrss begins to seat herself in the most comfortable chair, leaving you to take what you can get. and put you in the small bedroom when you visit her. because she 'knows you will not care.' you may knowthat the point I have spoken of has been reached. At their very nicest and most exclusive dinners, too. you are generally left cut. 'Dear Katie.' they will say, 'knows how It is herself; certain people must be asked. There are so many "nay backs" to be invited.' Of course, you have to Kay you uulte

understand It. but you are not particularly phased to be written to at the eleventh hour by your dear Emily, saying. 'What a comfort to have a true friend! 1 know you will come over this evening and fill Mrs. Lofty' place, who has just given up!' Or to b- asked the next week 'because you know them so well' to "help leaven the lump' of a distinctly frump dinner party. 'I am having old Mr. and Mrs. Winter from the country." writes dear Kmily. 'and poor Miss Wither, who goes out so little, and a few others like that. I know you will not m'.nd coming to eniiven thinxs for them. There an not many l could ask such a favor of (I should think not! 1 ejaculate mentally, but I feel that I never need stand upon ceremony with my dear Katie.' This she certainly never does, but I am beginning to wish she would!" Tun Dnlnty Snlnrie. Tomato salads aro almost as numerous as cooks, for almost every housewife has sumo special way of preparing this vegetable for the table. One delicious salad is made from four tomatoes, three eggs, a head of lettuce and a table?poonful of chopped peppers. Peel the tomatoes, cut into slices and arrange them in a ring on a dish, with slices of the whites of hardboiled eggs. Heap the center of the dish with crisp, yellow leaves of lettuce. Sprinkle over all the grated yolks of the eg?s and tlu finely minced sweet, green peppers. Pour over a French dressing and serve at once. A dainty salad is made with six small tomatoes. Peel and hollow out the centers and set on ice. Cut the scooped-out portion of four of th tomatoes into .--mall cubes, add a tablespoontul of chopped chives, a tablcspoonful o' sweet, green pepper chopped, two tablespoonfuls of oil, one tablespoonful of vinegar and six chopped olives. Fill tho cups with this and thrust into tho top of each two or three small tprigs of cress. Serve at once. Kitchen Hints. To clean a spice mill grind a handful of raw rice. A whiskbroom is just the thing to clean a horse-radish grater. A special broom should be kept for the kitchen and pavements. Wood ashes put in a woolen bag and placed in the water will make hard water soft. Pickles of vinegar will not keep in a jar that has ever had any kind of grease kept in it. Put a little household ammonia on a rag and clean off the rolls of a wringer before putting It away. If the ceiling becomes smoked from a lamp wash off the blackened surface with a little weak soda water. Drain pipes should be regularly cleaned, at least once a week, with lime water, carbolic acid or chloride of lime.

Lamp chimneys may be quickly cleaned I by rubbing them with a clean soft cloth and polishing with a piece of newspaper. Clam shells are more convenient for scraping pots and kettles than a knife, requiring less time to remove the burnt surfaces. If grease Is spilled on the kitchen floor or table cold water poured on It at once will prevent the spot fom soaking into tho wood. Grease stains can be removed from matting by first wetting them with alcohol and then washing them with suds made from white castile soap. A scorch mark, If not too heavy, may be removed by moistening with water and laying in the sun. Repeat the moistening two or three tlme3 until the spot disappears. What ot to Wear.

RECENT LEGAL OPINIONS. Telephone Companies Discrimination. A merchant had a telephone in his store and one In his resdence, placed there under an agreement that he would use the Citizens' Company's telephones exclusively. Other merchants were supplied with telephones by the company under agreements that contained no such stipulation as to exclusive use. Subsequently he purchased a market In which there was a Bell telephone. As soon as the Citizens Company learned this they removed, against the protest of the merchant, the telephones from his store and residence. In an action brought against the company it was held that where a telephone company refuses to supply all in similar circumstances with similar facilities, without discrimination, it may be compelled to do so by mandamus. 3D Southeastern Rep. (South Carolina, Judge Mclver) 25$. Contract to Engage in Prize Fight. Plaintiff and defendant entered Into an agreement by which plaintiff was to arrange all boxing exhibitions and advance all deposits, forfeits, etc.. and was to have the management and control of defendant for two years, and defendant agreed that he would not as principal or second enter Into any contract with any other person to engage in any prize fight without written consent of his manager. The defendant ignored his agreement and was about to enter Into a boxing exhibition against th. wishes and consent of the plaintiff, who thereupon brought suit to restrain the defendant from engaging in the contest. In an opinion written by Judge Harlan, of the Baltimore Circuit Court, it was held that a court of equity will not enjoin a contemplated breach of such a contract on application of a party to the contract because of the illegal nature of the agreement itself.

The Centaur Company for thirty-five years has manufactured a remeoy known as "Castoria." spending more than $!00.0oo a year In advertising, and being protected during the life of the patent by purchase from Dr. Pitcher, who patented the formula for Its composition. Since the expiration of the patent the defendants commenced the manufacture and sale of "Castoria" in bottles similar in size and shape to those used by complainant. The wrappers on the bottles were similar, except in a few particulars, noticeable only by comparison, and the word "Castoria. ' printed on defendant's bottle, was slightly curved, while that on complainant's was straight. It was held that such labels were intended to deceive purchasers and that complainant was entitled to an Injunction restraining the use of the same. 49 Atlantic Rep. (N. J., Judge Reed) 828.

(Judge Provosty) 101. REUNION OF DEAF MUTES

FIVE IILXDRED GRADUATES OF TIIE INDIANA SCHOOL. PJetnre of Gallnndet and His First Fftpll Presented to the Intltntlon. A reunion of nearly five hundred persons, each smiling and trying to make his nearest friend happier than himself, was a sight to be witnessed yesterday at the fifth triennial reunion of graduates of the State Institution for Deaf Mutes, on East Washington street. Young men and women that have just left their classrooms mingled with gray-haired men and women that have become bent with the weight of years. The crowd was a most interesting one as it walked through the la-ge corridors of the institution, talking, now calm and only using the fingers ends to denote their thoughts, now gesticulating as the conversation became more animated, followed by the grimaces of the face to Impress more fully on thir spectators the "speaker's" thought. One of the arreat reasons for the happiness displayed by these people was that in this institution they had grown up from boys and girls and gone through the ten year's course of the school. Every spot of the grounds has nomethlng connected with it that endears it to the hearts of the graduates o the school. It is in these reunions that this feeling finds vent. Superintendent Johnson, of the institution, welcomed the members of the. alumni to this city In the sign language. He was followed by Miss Jennie Kingan. of Chicago, who made a "stirring" address with her fingers. William Lang, president of the association, then read the president's address, whicn was followed by the reports of the different officers. So animated did the "speech-making" become that Superintendent Johnson, who was standing in the door of the convention room about noon, trying desperately to draw the attention of the delegates from the business meeting to the fact that dinner was ready, had to get a large bell. Its peals could not be heard by the delegates, but he stood in front of the platform and rang it with great force, and the motion was well understood by the members of the association, which adjourned without further delay. The throng went to the large dining room in the middle of the building, where a sumptuous dinner was spread. At 2 o'clock the delegates reassembled in the auditorium for the election of officers, the nominations having been made at the morning session. The election resulted as follows: President. Albert Berg. Indianapolis; first vice president, Joseph B. Rixley, North Manchester: second vice president. Ida Kinslev, Indianapolis; third vice president, John McCloskey. Louisville, Ky.; recording secretary. Carl Rudolph, Sllverwood. Ind.; corresponding secretary, Arthur Norris, Alexandria, Ind.; treasurer, August Jutt, Indianapolis. After the result of the election was announced the meeting adjourned. Groups of the delegates went Into different parts of the grounds and retold stories of their school days at the institution. Last night the delegates and their friends sat down to the triennial banquet In the dining room of the institution. The tables had been decorated during the afternoon. Five large tables were placed on each side of the room. During the course of the banquet a life size painting of Gallaudet and Alice Coggswell, his first pupil, done by Marcus Kerr, a deaf mute, of St. Louis, was presented. The picture has been bought by the Indiana society for $350, which represents subscriptions ranging from 10 cents to several dollars. Oallaudet is represented as teaching his Hrst pupil, Miss Coggswell, who was then a mere child, the rudiments of the sign language as he himself had learned it when in Paris studying under Secar. Gallaudet Is forming the letter "A" which his pupil is trying to also form with her tiny hands. The formal presentation of the picture was made by Prof. Long. Superintendent Johnson made a spec-eh of acceptance, and the picture will remain in the auditorium of the school. To-day the delegates will board electric cars at the gates, of the institution and will be corrveyed to Broad Ripple. An all-day picnic will be held, during which athletic contests will be an Important feature. Prizes have been donated by huslness men for the different contests which will Insure some lively times. The party will return to the city about 10 o'clock. Hott to Jadse Hatter. Twenty students and Instructors from Purdue University will operate a dairy at the state fair during the week of Sept 16 They will use modern appliances and methods and show how real butter should be made and may be distinguished from poor qualities. There will be numerous lectures by these scientific butter-makers at the Dairy Building, where state fair vltitor will be admitted free. This dairy and lectures hould be of Interest to every housekeeper.

CAYE IN MORGAN COUNTY

IlEAlTirt'L CAVKHN IX THE HILLS IIACK OF PARAGON. .Nearly n Mile- In LrnRth, with nn Icy Stream I'lovtiiiKT Through It Journey AVell north the Effort. Special to the In liar.apolis Journal. TRAFALGAR. Ind., Aug. 23. Many parts of Morgan county, especially along the line of the Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad, have long had considerable local repute for tho beauty of the natural scenery, which is noteworthy chiefly for Its high and bold formations. Long ranges of hills well clad with forest growth, with deep and rocky gorges between and flanked on either side by broad and fertile fields, form a picture of great natural beauty which should receive greater attention from the pleasure and health seekers and nature lovers of the cities of this and neighboring States. In the hills themselves the scenery is distinctly wild, having been marred but little by the hand of man, and the rugged nature of the country will test the powers of endurance of the most intrepid climber. Good roads lead to all the points of greatest interest and natural beauty. Trobably the place of greatest interest is found in the hills seven miles northwest of Paragon, where there is a cave of great eytent and equal beauty, but requiring considerable fortitude to explore in its entirety. Its mouth is full sixty feet up the face of a cliff rising in concave form nearly a hundred feet from the bottom of a narrow gorge, and is best reached by a narrow path from the top. The entrance Is about twenty feet wide and perhaps half as high, and these dimensions are found throughout most of the length of the cave, except that here and there are galleries rising to a height of thirty-five feet or more, and that occasionally small subsidiary caves are found on either side. A stream of clear spring water flovvs through the entire length of the cave, generally across the entire floor, necessitating i stout pair of boots for wading, for the water is of icy coldness. The walls of the cave are chiefly of great projecting shelves of stone, worn Into fantastic shapes by the water, occasionally affording a foothold above the bed of the stream, and here and there breaking away in narrow entrances to smaller chambers. Stalactites of shimmering whiteness depend from the roof In places, chiefly In the higher galleries, each with its companion stalagmite, of equal purity, below. Sometimes the stalactites take the form of great curtains, with surfaces looking like frozen ripples of silver. The course of the cave 1 . I I . I. 1 ! t A fl is tortuous, ana aayugni is iosi soon auer leaving the entrance, so that a plentiful supply of material for lights is necessary if the entire cave would be visited. At a depth of about 150 yards a small cascade is reached, the creek falling over a pile of broken stones, which must be surmounted to reach the depths beyond, in which the most beautiful sights are found. Occasionally it is necessary to Ftoop, but generally the cave is broad and high. The little side caves are merely oils de sac. there being no misleading passages in which the visitor may get lost. At threequarters of a mile the stream Is found to have broadened into a deep pool, up to the shoulders of a man of average height, and the roof comes so close to the surface that there is but room for the heads of those who would wade its icy depths. The pool, however, is not very wide, and beyond it there is but a short Journey to a small aperture set in the side of the hill, which forms what mleht be called the back door of the cave. There are points in the journey of nearly a mile through the cave where beautiful flashlight pictures may be taken, and visitors to the cavern are becoming more and more inclined to take away with them this kind of a souvenir of their trip through its depths. LYNCHERS INDICTED. Remarkable Reform In Alabama, Where Mob Have Often Italed. MONTGOMERY, Ala.. Aug. 23. News has been received in this city that the grand jury at the special term of the Circuit Court of Elmore county, convened by Judge Denson to investigate the recent lynching of a negro in that county, who was charged with assault to murder, has found indictments against ten of the thirty persons constituting the mob and are still investigating the case. Several witnesses who refused to testify when called were placed in jail for contempt of court. These are the first Indictments against lynchers in this State In many years. Governor Jenks to-day declined to discuss the action of the sheriff of St. Clair yesterday in firing upon the mob which attempted to lynch a negro charged with criminal assault until he obtains additional information, but says he Is glad the mob was thwarted In Its purpose.

Crossing High Bridge the other day, a fellowtraveler told m of the tet made of that remarkable structure when completed. Twenty platform cars, loaded to the maximum of thflr capacity with steel rails, pushed and drawn by five locomotives, formed the trial train. First they crossed the bridge at full-head of speed: then backed slowly. Next they dashed forward, suddenly reversing the engines and clapping on the brakes, so as to throw the whole ponderous weight dead upon the central span. Every atom felt the strain, but the bridge frtood the fearful test, and thousands of intensely interested spectators broke forth in applause. Hundreds of thousands of travelers have sinrc crossed that fearful gulf with perfect equanimity because the bridge was once so thoroughly tested, and endured the ordeal. Abraham, now advanced to 125 years, was sojourning on th southern boundary of Canaan at Deersheba. the well that marked the spot where he had entered into the covenant of reciprocity with Ablmelech. The bondwoman and her wayward son wer gone. Isaac, his very name signifying the Joyous" laughter In which his parents indulged when he was born, was now probably twenty-five years old, and so tractable and companionable as compared with banished Ishmael. There wax peace, plenty, happiness, in the great sheik's camp. No wonder he planted a grove that should serve him as a domestic oratory, where he might duly pay his orisons. The exceeding great and precious promises of God were now fulfilling. Like a clap of thunder In a clear sky came the Inexplicable and remorseless command. "Take thy son, and offer him for a burnt offering." The bridge of Abraham's faith was to be tested by the dead drop upon it of an Indescribable weight. All the numerous other tests that had already been made were infinitesimal as compared with this. The test was not necesrary, as far as God was concerned; for He already knoweth all things. It was for Abraham's self, his descendants, and for us. The secon'd verse records the command, the third the obedience. There is no mention of the Gethsemane between. The battle was fought, victory achieved, deed done, when morning broke on the camp by "the well of the oath." The preparations were made expeditiously, but with euch care that nothing was forgotten. The journey consumed three days. The exact site of the sacrifice, whether it was the spot on Mount Moriah, where the altar of Solomon's temple afterward stood, or Calvary, where the cross was erected cannot be determined, as the data are insufficient. It Is comparatively unimportant. It was in the neighborhood of the nacred place where "a greater Father afterward offered a greater Son." So Isaac went up the mount, carrying the wood that was to consume him, as the. "greater Son" afterward carried His cross up the Via Dolorosa. "Whether Abraham expected an Immediate restoration of his ton cannot be decided. Some have thought po, from his remark to the young men attendants, "We will worship and we will come again to you. Keener than the knife which Abraham carried in his hand was the Innocent query of his unsuspecting son, "Where Is the lamb?" May not the father's answer be tinged with the hope of a substitute when he replied, "God will provide?" Abraham had built many altars before, but never one like this and with motions such as now surged In his heart. The innocence, silence, submission of Isaac, made him a speaking type of the Lamb who, 2000 years later, was to le led to the slaughter In this very vicinity. As far as Abraham was concerned, the offering was made, the deed dune. In mercy God stayed the literal sacrafice. It was the "spirit" he wanted, not the 'Metter." The letter kill th, tut the spirit maketh alive. Out of heaven itself descended upon the patriarch the divine bWsing as he stood beside the altar blazing with a victim the Lord himself had provided. The bridge of Abraham a faith had stood the fearful shock. Its thoroughgoing soundness was demonstrated for all time by such an ordeal as r.o human heart has, ever been subjected to before nor since. Paternal Instinct and affection, family amblti.n. fond hopes, and all that, were as email dust when faith and obedience were put Into the other scale. Abraham could not see how the xlowlng promises were to be fulfilled if Isaac were slain. Hut, then, he was not walking by sight, but by faith. The severest te?t of faith also witnessed Us aubllmest victoryTHE TEACHER'S LANTERN. Environed with great difficulties this leson certainly is. If Abraham heard and heeded auch a call, why should not mn do no now? And why should they not be exempt from legal penalty on their affirmation that what they did was In obedience to a divin command? Well. Abraham lived In a different age and dispensation from ours: the ae of the Theophany, when tioU appealed visibly and spoke auiibly with men. There was no chance of mistake on Abraham'i part. The call to sacrifice laaac came In the same striking form as the call to quit t'r of th Chaldees and all the numerous communication between. Uut we live under an entirely new dispensation. Abraham had no liible. He cep.nded upon the audible voice of God. We turn to the written Word. If try man should ay he was called of God to slay his son. it would be bet to ask hin where God enjoins such a duty upon him in the liible. Impressions, dream, visions, voices th se are no proper guides In our day. To the law and to the testimony, O Israel! Try the spirits with the touchstone of the nitle. The Klble I. the sole and surflelent rule both of our faith and practice. The superlative strength of Abraham's faith would never have been fuliy revealed to himself, to angels, or to men. Had It been subjected to any lea crucial test than this. For Abraham, everything centered In Isaac. In language of Weslyan hymn, he was hit "dearest Idol."

Endeavor Work ship for twenty-five years. To calmly, quickly, obediently, believingly lay him on God's altar as a whole burnt offering argued the sublimit faith of all the ages. A revelation to Abraham himself this certainly was. He was rot aware until then of the tenacity of his own trust. His ability to bear the brunt of such an unexpected and awful deprivation dlscloed it to him. Though the son of promise should b. taken, his faith flamed up In triumph. He believed G-vJ would restore him cr fulfill the promise by other means. a spectacl to angels this scene unlobutedly was. As two of thm witnessed Abraham's Joy at the annunciation of the near advent of his ton. so a cloud of thera may have witnessed his unhesitating renunciation of that son at the call of God From tha gallery of the sky they looked down upon tha arena of earth, and saw the patriarch act well his part. The exemplary power of this tragic sight upon humanity at laige. as well as upon Hebrews in particular, who shall ever measure It? This thrilling and scenic, but unstudied paragraph eery soul of man has been the better for the reading of it. What parent have been nerved by it to give back to God tha children He called for! Our afflictions sef.m light, and but for a moment, when compared with Abraham's. That he endured hearten us to believe we can too. acted raraiti. the scene is evidently intended to be. That It is so educative Is sufficient Justification of lu It pictures with inimitable fidelity the anguish of the Inflntfc Father at He gives hit Son to be the substitute in. penalty for a lost wcrld. It portrays the ineffable grace, meekness, patience, obedience, of the incarrete Son of God. Abraham, Isaac and the altar stand for the atonement itself help us to understand, appreciate and believe It. With human sacrifice Abraham was perfectly familiar, especially th offering of children by their parents. He had observed It In Mesopotamia and Canaan. If h was not himself tempted to practice It. his descendants might have ben. Hut the crueltywas forever foref ended by those words, "Lay not thine band upon the lad!" Abraham's faith swept out on this occasion to erabrace Immortality and the resurrection. Taul significantly aya that when Abraham unloosed Isaac from the altar he received him back In a figure, or at a figure uf what? It could be nothing olse than the returrectlon. Hlu eon to an intents was dead, but was alive again. Jf the doctrine was not sufficiently developed in Abraham's day for him to the "figur.." w at least do. Primary teachers raust use tact In this ledson. The tragic phase of It muat be parsed over lightly. It won't do to grapnically picture a father tyir.f the hands and feet of his iiitle boy, laying him on an altar and lining a gleaming knife over him. Kather tell the incidents of the journey why they too wood with them (it waa dry. and tney feared they might find only green wood on Mount Moriah); why they took fire with them me matches in thou days; difficulty of kindling a fire; means of preserving It.)
