Another Link With Monticello

Monticello Citizens Add Their Praise Another link with our neighboring town of Monticello is provided in the following grateful and generous statement’ of a w’ell-known resident there, Mr. Thomas H. Graves, Railroad St 3 who says: “I had a severe attack of lumbago and my back became so stiff and sore that I could not stoop. I ha\l a dull, throbbing ache through my kidneys and loins and a distressing kidney Weakness. I doctored and used medicine of various kinds, but nothing helped me until 1 took Doan’s Kidney Pills. This medicine went to the seat of the trouble and three boxes made a cure,” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Graves had.

tions to go down to Foresman in a few days to lay track for Mr. Teach, the stone road contractor. Aunt Hannah Culp, wha has been at Lee the past two or three weeks waiting on her brother, George, came home Wednesday evening. Kinder Kennedy of near Morocco, moved last week onto the former Joe Kosta farm, which he purchased last summer of Everett Halstead. Lou Moffitt, who has been working on the Lawler ranch, has been laid up at his uncle’s A. M. Bringle’s this week with appendicitis, but is some better at this writing.

With all our signs of early spring, thus far we have failed to hear the familiar voice of the frogs in the roadside ditches. They probably know when it is time to holler. Mr. Speaks, who has been working for Neen Littlefield on his farm near here, threw up his job and moved off Wednesday, and John Moihler of Rensselaer, took his place the same day. According to reports the third trick man at the depot will have no mors_ job than a rabbit after the first Of April, which means there will be no more telegraph service from this station at night after April 1.

FOUR CORNERS. Trustee Keen sold some cattle to the Comer’s Monday. F. W. Fisher was in Rensselaer on business Thursday. Stdfhien Comer of Union tp., was in Kankakee tp., purchasing cattle this week.

Andrew Misch has purchased a Ford through the Hoover “sub” at Wheatfield, and now Louis is in his glory, J * Oliver Wallace of San Pierre, is putting in two cars of tile for F. G. Barnard on his Kankakee tp., farm. The indications now is that the north end will get telephone service over the San Pierre and Norts Judson lines. A few farmers have commenced oats sowing, but next week, should the weather prove favorable, the} will go to it with full force. George Byers had a set-to with, the K. of P. goat at Wheatfield Wednesday night. The goat came through, but George—well, you ought to see him. A. Moyer, who sold his farm to Illinois parties, has blossomed out itno a real estate agent and is running this end of the deals in connection with agents in Illinois. Bro. John of the Review, sent in his resignation as a member of the school board, thinking that he was indespensible and that they would beg him to remain. But as soon as he found that they were willing and even anxious that he step down and out, he faced about and said he was joking; that he wanted to still continue to be “it” of the school board. . Now it is up to John to withdraw his request and step out. We can’t understand how they can get on without him, though. We heard that Judge Hanley, Abe Halleck, H. W. Marble and a number of other prominent republicans urged him to accept the .office of squire. Sure, but did you ever hear of a democrat that wanted him for any office? Now, according to a decision of the Jasper circuit court, in a case brought from Remington some years ago, he cannot hold both offices, and neither can one resign as J. P. to accept the office of member of a school board.

GOD’S MERCIES TO DISOBEDIENT ISRAEL

Quarterly Review—Read Nehemiah '.>.-26-31- ■ f .< March 28. Period of the Judges—Divinely Appointed Leaders—Their Duties and Responsibilities—Only One Lawgiver and One Law—Two Pictures of Israel’s National Life Under the Judges Manifestations of Divine Love and Care —Lessons for Us. “Righteousness eralteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people."—Proverbs U:3iISRAEL'S history from the division of Canaan amongst the tribes until the anointing of Saul, a period of 450 years (Acts 13:10-21), is called the Period of the Judges—Joshua being the first Judge and Samuel the last. These Judges were raised to their position providentially. But as they had neither power nor authority, collected no revenue and could not entail the office upon others, It follows that whatever inf < ue they possessed was personal; ami io give it weight Implied a proper acknowledgement of them as Divinely appointed, or “raised up.” , This arrangement led the people continually to look to God for their leaders rather than to engage ip politics, in which personal ambition /would control. Similarly Spiritual Israelites are not to wire-pull and decide for themselves who shall be

their spiritual leaders, but are to look to the Lord to raise up from time to time such leaders as He may please. Thb acceptance of these as God's appointees does not necessarily mean their selection by ballot, but may be

indicated merely by heeding their

teachings in harmony With God’s Word. Divinely appointed leadership will always be marked by spiritual victories and closer heart-relationship with God; for the Lord’s Spirit leads not to bondage, ignorance or strife, but to love, joy, peace of heart, liberty of conscience.

Israel needed no legislature; for it had one Lawgiver—the Lord—and the Law given at Mt. Sinai was perpetually to guide the nation. The priests and the Levites were the Divinely appointed helpers of the people—to instruct 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 separate them from other nations, and if they were faithful the Lord was to be their Protector.

Two Pictures of National Life. If the Book of. Judges be read as a complete history of Israel during those four and one-half centuries, it would be a discouraging picture and would give an unfair view’—that they were continually suffering punishment for sin and idolatry. The record passes by the happy period of Israel’s prosperity, and especially points out their deflections from God, their punishments therefor, and their deliverances through the Judges whom God raised up for them. That this was a favorable time for Israel is implied in the Lord’s promise to restore the Judges. The Israelites had. been instructed by the Lord to exterminate the Canaanites. This they had failed to do; and later on 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 a lascivious Idolatry. Thus they repeatedly brought upon themselves the Lord’s disfavor.

Applying this to Spiritual Israel, we are not to expect that the Lord’s displeasure with His people would delay until they had gone completely into

“Idolatry."

These records of Divine chastisements, of Israel’s subsequent repentance and of the Lord’s deliverance are proofs of the Divine Love for that consecrated people. So far as we have information, 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.

Israel’s Wrong Course. Israel’s government differed from all other earthly governments. God was their King; and in His providences, according to His Covenant with them, He supervised their affairs. But In Samuel’s day, the Elders, perceiving that his sons were unreliable and forgetting that God was their King and the Judge merely His representative, petitioned the Prophet that he anoint them a king. It is hard for us to sympathize with such prayers for their own degradation. The Prophet Samuel seems to have Viewed the matter from this standpoint. He very properly went to the Lord in prayer; it was not for him to decide. He was merely the Lord’s mouthpiece, to speak to the Israelites whatever message he should receive from the Lord." .

The Tables of The Law.

Idolatry to self, wealth, fame, etc. Rather, the Lord’s chastisements are sent to correct while still there is in our hearts something of obedience and love toward H 1 m—before the world, the flesh and the Adversary us completely.
