HIGH POINTS 1 HIT BY GLYNN IN KEYNOTE ADDRESS

Americanism- and peace, preparedness and prosperity—are the issues upon which the Democratic party stands, and the heart of the Democratic party swells with pride that is more than a pride of party, as it hails the man who has asserted this Americanism, assured this peace, advocated this preparedness and produced this; prosperity. We have entered this hall as Democrats; we shall deliberate as Americans. ... It took Washington and his successors 80 years of endless negotiation to win the recognition of American neutrality. And this SO years of struggle wove the doctrine of neutrality so closely into the warp and woof of our national existence that to tear it out now would unravel the very threads of our existence. What the people of the United States must determine through their suffrage is whether the course the country has pursued through this crucial period is to be continued; whether the principles that have been asserted as our national policy shall be indorsed cr withdrawn. This is the paramount issue. No lesser issue must cloud it, no unrelated problem must Confuse it. IHe (the President) stands where Washington stood when he prayed that this country would never unsheath the sword except in self-de-fense so long as justice and our es-

sential rights could be preserved without it. Neutrality is the. policy which has kept us at peace while Europe has been driving the nails of war through the hands and feet of a crucified humanity. When Grant was'President, during the war between Spain and the Spanish West Indies, a Spanish gunboat seized the vessel Virginus flying the American flag and a Spanish commandant in cold blood shot the captain of the Virginus, 36 members of the crew and 16 of the passengers. But we didn't go to war. Grant settled our troubles by negotiations j ust as th i - President of the United States i? trying to do today. This pohcy may not satisfy those who revel in destruction and find pleasure in despair. It may not satisfy the fire eater or the swashbuckler. But it does satisfy those who worship at the altar of the God of Peace. It does satisfy the mothers of the land at whose hearth and fireside no jingoistic war has placed an empty chair. We have been carried too close to the rocks of war during the past two years not to believe that those rocks do not exist. And looking into flic future we can perceive that if our sovereignty is not challeneged ...... it will only be because the world knows that we are strong enough to defend ourselves from every foe. The Democratic party advocates and seeks preparedness, but it is preparedness for defense, not preparedness for aggression. The Underwood tariff enacted by this administration has banished greed from the gates of our ports, and written justice in our tariff schedules. By the Underwood law this administration has taken the tariff out of politics; by the new tariff commission it proposes to take politics out of the tariff.

Monon Declares Dividends.

The directors of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville have restored the common stock to a dividend basis by declaring 3% per cent on that issue. The dividend.was passed two years ago this month, prior to which Mon on had been paying 1 5-8 per cent semi-annually, or 3 14 per cent a year. The dividend just declared was announced as “a dividend,” but presumably restored the common stock to the basis prevailing up to 1914. As the dividends will be paid this month, the income accounts of the Southern Railway and the Louisville & Nashville for this year will benefit, since they own the greater part of both classes of stock. The interest of these properties in the Monon amounts to 93 per cent of the $10,560,000 common and 7 7 per cent of the $5,000,000 preferred, equally divided between the tv.o roads. Regarding the Monon, the Wall street Journal recently said: “The Monon will probably show a balance for dividends this year equal to between S per cent and 9 per cent on the common after allowing for 4 per cent on the preferred. This would compare with 6.38 per cent on the common last year after 4 per cent on the preferred, while in the 1914 fiscal year the company earned hut 2.91 per cent on the-pre-<c'T((i it was on that showing that the . common dividends were passed.” in the first 10 months of this year the Mon on's gross amounted to $6,321,005. it is estimated that May and June will show gross of $1,387,000, bringing the total for the year to $ (,705.095. That would mean an increase in gross of sl ,l }s.f 36 over the total of $6,559,665 in J9ir, ; Ten months' net earnings aggregated sn2‘, 1 0 7,623. Allowing $400,000 net for the two months of May and June, other income of. the same amount as last year, and a small increase in charges, a balance for dividends is indicated of over $1 ,- 100,000, which would mean 4 per cent on the preferred and almost 9 per cent on the, common. The showing so far this year indicates the best 12. months in the company’s history. • ( . In addition to the common dividend, the regular semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent on the preferred was declared. Both dividends are payable June 29 to stock of record June 19.

THE PHILIPPIAN JAILER

Acta 16:10-Si—June IS. An Experience With Evil Spirits—Sad Condition of a Slave —Her Enraged Owners Revenge Themselves Upon St. Paul and Silas—The Missionaries Beaten and Imprisoned Singing Pfaises to God Under Adverse Conditions —A Well-Timed Earthquake. “Believe on the Lord Jcsun Christ, and thou shall be saved.’’—Verse 31.

HILE passing daily from Lydia’s home to the place of worship outside the gates of Philippi, the mission-

aries were met repeatedly by a slave giri possessed of au evil spirit, one of the fallen angels. The spirit, working through her, told fortunes, gave intelligence of lost articles, of future events, etc. Evidently she was well known; and the exercise of her profession brought a large income to a stock company of influential men who owned her. Eor several days this girl followed the missionaries, shouting, “These be the servants of the Most High God, which show r unto us the way of salvation:” Of course, the girl did not know St. Paul and his companions; but the evil spirits did. The Apostle was grieved as daily this testimony was given by the girl; for he knew that the evil spirit prompting it would have no respect for the Truth/" A fallen angel that had respect for God and for the principles of righteousness would not seek to obsess humanity when it knew that such obsession would be to their injury and was contrary to God's will. St. Paul said not a word to the girl, assuming that she was not accountable. lie addressed the spirit as such, commanding it in the name of Jesus to come out of her—just as our Lord and the Apostles, under Ilia instruction, had frequently cast out evil spirits.— Matt. 10:1; Mark 5:1-17; Luke 10:17, etc.

The Syndicate's Revenge. We can imagine what consternation was aroused amongst the owners of the slave when they found not only that their source of future gain was gone, but that the money invested in this girl was lost; for spirit-possessed slaves had a high market value. They liecame desperately angry; and, having

no hope of getting the evil spirit back into the slave, they took revenge upon those who had financially ruined them. Evidently the syndicate had influence; for they succeeded quickly in arousing a mob determined to have revenge. St. I’jjtul and Silas were carried before the rul-

ers at the market-place. There the syndicate ignored the truth of the; matter, and claimed that the missionaries were teaching a religion contrary to the laws of Rome and likely to raise sedition. This was untrue; for the Lord's servants went, according to law, outside the city gates for their worship. The false charge brought upon the missionaries the severest penalties which their judges could inflict. The magistrates rent their garments as indicative of their distress that such a disturbance had occurred, and then ordered the missionaries to be beaten with rods and put into prison. Under these unfavorable circumstances, with backs raw and bleeding, these faithful brethren sang hymns of praise for the privilege of enduring tribulation for Christ's sake.

The Jailer Converted. While the missionaries were singing, an earthquake shock jarred the prison walls, loosed tile chains wherewith the prisoners were bound, and released the

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.”

By this time the jailer Was fully convineed that the missionaries were not ordinary criminals. After he had secured the door, he brought St. Paul and Silas into his ojvn quarters and attended to their comfort. Meantime he heard from them something respecting Jesus, the world’s Redeemer. He was convicted of sin, and inquired, “What shall I do to be saved?” The answer came promptly, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ- Then, taking this statement as a text, St. Paul explained to him and his household the Divine Tlan of Atonement. The Truth-seed sank into good soil. Those present gratefully accepted the privilege of discipleship—to suffer for Christ’s sake. Next morning, the rulers, having learned something of the events of the preceding night, ordered the release of the missionaries. Evidently they realized that they had no just cause against the two. When the order reached the prison, the missionaries sent word back that they were Roman citizens, and that Roman law had been violated in that they had been publicly beaten and illegally condemned. These charges against the magistrates might have gone hard against them. Hence It Is not to be wondered at that thev came to the prison and brought the missionaries forth publicly, thus conceding that injustice had been done. '** I

bars which fastened the doors. The jailer, finding the doors open, supposed that the prisoners had escaped. Knowing that he would be held responsible, he was about to commit suicide, when St. Paul called to him, “Do thyself no harm. We are all here.” *
