| ,UNBUSINESSLIKE -BUSINESS. - The New Yo/rli_;};te -employers’ liabiiity commissioh has submitted a carefully prepared report showing a fearful-waste wf human life in indus“trial pursuits. Some loss of life in; modern industry may be reckoned as .unavoidable, but the far greater pro- - portiott of the loss which is sustained « Is-the result of umnecessary condltions. ' It is the direct result of a lack ~ of safety appliances and of overwork- " ing employes to thé point of physical “exhaustion.’ Tt i§ a result of unjust H- . ahility laws and légﬂélétive’negligenc,é. says the Kansas City,Times: :If sentlment hag no place %n .business—gn tnteuablé\pm‘pdsit%n‘ in Citseif--at least business ought to be businesslike.- Tt {s demonstrably .mot good % Isiness to permit avoidablg * killing . _'%:‘ndustrial‘ workers-and ther spend vadt sums in cdi’i‘ng!fp'ﬁiq ilies bereft of natural support| 1, It-%ib‘t good business, even xhou#hA the cllildren are . mbdbt neglected, with the chapess in favor of their 'becoin‘ng'-vicious or|idle " citizens:. Stricter employers’ lability, an_aﬁmn_ﬁ;tic‘dlfy a:rpliedv workmen's _compensation for injury or .death, and direct industrial inisﬁ’ran-ce'are all in- . §urance measures. ’;Fh‘ey provide funds _-for the support of injured.workmen or of their wives ,la%ld children. They . als.q\ en‘co'urage sdfe_l ¥y provisions. Such ~ Mnsurance costs would ‘be diffused samong all thé pegple—as taxes and ~ fire _insurance ‘or- F;.\ifflllsed—--b'y being added to the cost of. the business, . That diffused cest| would be- a practical impalpable b\irdé’n' upon society.

. There has been'much talk regarding ‘the selection of a national flower. Has | it all been wasted? Thes Brooklyn Eagle remarks upon the indisputable® fact that there is no authority- in the - Constitution for' the selection of a national flower. However, a great many things have comjm/bé in this country ‘without- specific| constitutfonal = authority. Thére is, for instance, a na‘tional bird, the American eagle. There is “Upcle Sam” a,%d there is “Miss Co--lumbié,"‘ with nolauthority for either, _except the SQlf-:issu_red authority- ot \me cartoonists. But these are things upon which ev 'ry'b'q"'dy' s :agre,ed. There 'is not likely| to' be a nationa] “flower until everybody is agreed upon it. . In th¢ meantime, fortunately,*the §ountry}n afford to wait. .

R @ 7 FEN Berlin was in festive WM § array to celebrate the two hundredth anniversary iot & X the Prussian monarehy, it . was an bccasion possessing a very specia.l{‘appeal for Kaiser Wil helm 11., whose ‘title to third German emperor consecrated the supremacyl of Prussia among the German states. But "in the midst of the festivities came the news of Queen Victoria’s | iliness and the emperor William broke off all the celebrations to hurry over to the bedsire of hig royal grandmother. The Bger' war: was still to drag on for anotkler weary year and longer, and everywhere in Germany there was ‘hostile feeling against Great Britain; there had been many and bitter differences between thé courts of St. James and the palace at Potsdam. But the promptness and spontaneity of the kaiser’s sympathy, the simple dignity with which he- shared Britian's mourning effected a sudden change in English feeling toward him. He had been regarded- in England with . respect for the <continually in‘ereased prosperfty of Germany under bhis rule, mingled with some mistrust of his possible ambitions., and with: ‘curiosity as. the most striking and enigmatiq'ﬁgure‘ in European' politics. But now English sentiment responded ‘to. the kaiser's action. It became warmer ‘and friendlier; distrust of his impulsive and mercurial nature'grgdually changed into conviction of his generosity and good feeling, and now there is none among King George's guests who recelve a sin'cerqr, wel_come. e T : i " Not even his Imiqne position in Europe nor his close: relation with the ' British royal house account for the interest taken in England in the: kaiser's personality. No one is ever bored ! by the kaiser; it is:impossible for him to be dull. No figure in Europé gives, rise to so much speculation, to- S 0 many differing opinions.. After over 20 years of much speechmaking, of a' full and active life spent in the pub- | 1 lic- gaze, he leaves us still groping for | the key to his ceaseless activities and l'his -extraodinary jinfluence. ' R Kaisé:-a Hard Worker. - [s A curious journalist- once motored to a railway crossing some way down the line to catch a glimpse of the emperor,«who had been attending a gala lperformance of opera in one of the smaller German capitals. The saloon | was Yrilllantly .lighted, the blinds drawn up, and there was the emperor .writing at his desk as diligently as the humblest journalist.

It was typical of his life. The outsider will take extraordinary pains to secure a glimpse of the kaiser, but he gleans little except an increased ! sense of the hard work entailed by modern kingship. Everybody knows the details of his everyday life. He rlées at 5:30 d’clock, takes a cold douche and breakfasts at 6:30, teta-a-tete With hjs wife, 'on tea and cold meat, or perhaps eggs. and bacon. Then follows, a long and strenuous morning, spent with his secretaries, or on the parade ground, and often involving more %han one change -of uniform, for the emperor is very punctilious in’ these matters, and- it ‘he is receiving the British ambassador, for instance, will don a British uniform. The afternoon is spent in learning: new things from explorers and experts of all ations, or possibly in studio- or Tgallery, giving artisfic judgments much criticised in. advanced Berlin circles; the ‘evening, after an early and simple dinner, is given to his family, or to the theater. To one man the kaiser is a lover of ‘peace, to another.a_ firebrand; to-one a survival from medieval Markgrats of Brandenburg; to another the typical head of the most go-ahead modern industrial state in Europe; toone the incarnation of Prussian etiquette and the military caste, to another the gayest -and most xffable of Gcirman' gentlemen. o : The truth seems-to be that he is all these ‘things and ‘many others with "equal donviction and energy on occasion. Some of the incongruities dis.appear on examination. His. speeches \misléad the English reader who goes to them armed with a British| conception of German stolidity and common gense. The German is. not afraid of poetry and sentiment; nor even of high-flown metaphor on the ordinary oceasions of life. S 0 when the Ger-

man emperor chirstens a battleship there is no reason for him to 'qontflne himself to, dreary commonplace. “Springing from .the old German sagas are. the names of ships be‘onging to thy <lass. Therefore shalt thou likewise recall to us the. gray past of our ancestors and the puissant deity -whom our Germanic forefathers in their ignorance supplicated and worshipped, when the battles of the: north were fought on the polar seas, and death and ruin carried into the land of the ehemy . The potentname of the name of this great deity thou shalt bear. [ .christen thee with the name of Aegir.” An imaginative flight of tHis kind in christening a.battleship - stirs dnd. pleases German patriotic feeling, nor does it seem to the avera'ge German incongruous with more practical qualities. "Every Ge;_‘man knows that the kaiser is a good technical expert in matters relating to’ the navy. Sir Edward J. Reed said he possesséd_ “a«perfect farseeing penetration and ‘a more thorough information than either his own technicad minister of myself possessed, and this’ knowledge had been gained by experi: ence in a practical and trustworthy Sino . 7

“The Divine-Right” Theory. ; Profou_nyd conviction in the .divine right of .the house of Hohenzollern makes the kaiser live up to the spectacular conception ~of the kingship which was reflected in the pesudomediaevalism of his favorite dramatist, the late Ernst von Wildenbruch: it was not'ln the kaiser’s case incompatiblte with a very modern -practical ability. ' Himself a successful manufacturer and a model farmer, the keiser takes the keenest interest in impmvementé in industrial processes, in the organization of industry. and in legislation -for the security and. pxo; tection of the workers. : Every one who has lived in Germany knows the €xclusiveness of military circles, but the emperor who is the feudal chief of the Prussian aristoeracy “numbers among his intimates some of the captains of German industry. His affection for the late Herr Krupp is well knowu and- he addresses with the familiar thee and theu of ordinary life Herr Wormann, ‘the great HambuPg ship owner, and Herr Ballin, the hedd of the HamburgAmerican line. Herr Ballin, moreover, is of Jewish descent. The emperor knows every ship-building yard on the coast. ' . £

He takes his metier of Landesvater and of monarch very seriously and if Prussian ‘tradition involves a certain aloofness absent from the intercourse petween the English court and: the English people the difference ‘is not fundamental. The German people recognize behind the parade and magnificance of Potsdam a home life of exceptional brightness and simplicity, distifiguished from the life of the or dinary. German household most of ah by the unaeasing and untiring industry of its head, for whom no task seems too arduous, no detail too trival. ‘ T ' 5

- Bill and His Watgh. : “Bill, can you give me the correct time?” says one of Bill's friends. ""Sqre,” says Bill, dragging out his watch. “My watch was just ’levén seconds slow at twenty minutes of 4 day before yesterday aftérnoon, and I don't believed it’s varied more than a quarter of a second since. It's now twenty-two minutes and seven seconds past 5.7 . , e e s “Thanks, old man,” says ‘Bill's friend, wBo then drops his own watch into his pocket and goes on his way. Really he wasn’t -so particular aboit knowing the time himself as desirous of giving pleasure to Bill, for he knows that Bill is one of the few million men in the world who think each that his watch is a wonder and who feel themselves flattered when their friends ask them for the correct time. ‘ o

He also told how he had suggested to Senator Lorinjer that he (Lorimer) become a candidate when the latter wanted to elect Shurtleff senator. A mild sensation was causced when the governor pulled from his pockgt the notes of a speech delivered at Taylorville, ‘August, 1910, which .he said charged the former speaker ‘with Dbeing responsible for the ‘“jack-pot.” “The ‘jack-pot’ fund has been in existence since 1897,” said Governor Deneen.. He sketched how the legislature 'is organized, the% committees named and how things dragged slowly until the rush of the final few days when everything ‘went through or was killed in a rush. o “The ‘regulator’ bills are disposed of then,” he said.. “Some are Kkilled outright. Others are sent again-.to committee® on- the theory that they cannot stand an exfended coromer’s inquest.

~ -JOSIAH'S DEVOTIONTO GOD

LESSON TEXT~—II Chronicles 34:1-18. MEMORY VERSES-1, 2.~ GOLDEN TEXT—Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.i—Eccl 12:1. T : TlME—Josiah began to reign B. [CJ 638, in the 345th year of Judah as a separate kingdom. . ) He reigned 31 years, till B. C. 60s:. ¢ PLA(‘!-.i-—Judah and Jerusalem. But his reforms extended, over a considerable part: of the territory-of the Northern Kingdam which had become extinct in.i22-TlB, 8) vears before Josiah came to the :hx‘.one. : Josiah was the grandson of Manasseh, whose career we studied in our last lesson. He was born at Jérusaleni, B. C. 646. His father was Amon, who- followed the example ,of his tather’s earlier vears. He reigned but two vears, when he was murdered by his courtigrs in his own palace. The people roge against the ccnspirators and made his eight-year-old -son king in his pldce. Josiah's' mother was Jedidah, ‘the daughter of ABaiah. They belonged in_Boscath, a town near TLachish in southg\'cstern Judaly, in the plains toward the Mediterranean sea. While King Amon was an idoiater_, and his court was cbrrupt, it is possible that Josiah’'s mpther .kept the true faith. . . T . He began to lreign when ha was eight vears old. -Like his grandiather. Manasseh, he mtfzst, for scveral years have been guided, and his kingdom controlled by hig mother or by prime ‘ministers. The :worshipers of Jehovah must have been ‘in cdntrol at the palace; the wise and. religious teachers of the true God and the trie religion.” So that for the Tir_s{ sixteen _vears of his life the young Jjosiah must have been under good influences, while he also Wwould know of Hkis .father’'s tragic death, and his granpdfather’s sins, sufferings, and repentance.- And his ancestor, David, was ever hefore him as his ideal, his hero, his saing.

~ About the time when Jostah was: twenty years old, and in the twelfth year of his reign, when he had begun his reforms, there came an invadinghost from the far east lik® a cyclone. | an overwhelming scourge. Jeremiah foretells them in vivid pictures. Dut ’ Herodotus tells us who they were, the Scythians “from the regions over Caug | casus, vast nameless hordes of men. | who sweeping past ?\ssyria, unchecked, poured upon Palestine. We can realize the event from otir krowledge of the Mongol and Tartar invasions which in'later centurles pursued the same path southwards, Living in the saddle, with no infantry nor chari- | ots- to delay them, these (entaurs swept on with ~a speed - of invaslon.’ hitherto unknown., In €630. they had crossed the Caucasus, by 626 they were oh the borders of Egypt. . The prophet, Jeremiah, describes 11 picturesque terms this invasion. . “The | lon is come up from his ‘thicket;” “The destroyer of nations is on his | way;” “Behold he cometh as clouds, | and his chariot shall be as the whirl- | wind;” “Their quiver is an (_)pen sc;p.—{ ulcher, they are all mighty men;” ! “They are cruel and have n® mercy: ’ their voice roareth like the sea; and | they ride upon horses, set in array as men .of war against thee.” o . It is easy %o see how this terrible invader, coming so near, just as Josiah was beginning his reforms, must have interfered with his plans. - | Josiah began his reformation in his | twelfth year, but the invasion of the Scythians scon.: after this beginning interferred with the. work. The savage and cruel host cime close to Judah’s borders. Scattered bands may have entered, the kingdom. Terror | reigned. Defenses must be strengthened. Outsiders rushed .to Jerusalem and the fortified cities. How far the reformations- had progressed we. do not know. But the chronicler having recorded the beginning simply "goes;ug on -with the story, as is frequently done by historians: ] - The, restoration of the Temple wes {ntrusted to a commitiee of three— Shapan, the secretary of state: and | Maaseiah, the governor ~ﬂf the city, the mayor of Jerusalem:; \and J(‘wah‘j the recorder, the keeper of the .records, the historian. The temple builtal} by Solomon, was completéd 390 years) before. It was repaired by Joash 240+ vears before Josiah began.his restoration. The ravages of time, with neglect, and abuse during the sway of. fdolatry must have rendered it sadly in need’of repair. It was durigg these repairs .that the- Book of Law was found. * OO N

. The work interrupted by thé Scythfan hordes is now resumed with greatly increased intensity #nd enthusiasm, through the new consecration of king and people, due to the finding of the Book of the Law. . The first condition of salv&mn for individuals or nations, is the putting away of sin at any cost. The second is fhe ‘building up of the good. He that confesseth and forsaketh shall find mercy. - One of the greatest revivals of re; ‘ligion ever known was begun in méebt'-, ings where the pastor called uvpon his church members o?t a fast day to confess and forsake their sins: “How many of you,” he askeqy “have neglected your fanMprayers?" Several arose_and one was called upon to pray. ‘“‘How many of you have been speaking evil : of others?” . Several ‘arose. One led in prayer for all. And so through the list. _ ’ ‘ There has been @& remarkable revival in the territory made famous in the.Japanese-Russian war. The movement began in Liaoyang, spread at once to Mukden, and, soon, after, to Haicheng, Fakumen, Newchwang, and numberless town% and villages and hamlets- of less fame. A mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit came to the Christians immediately after the opening of ‘the meetings, and his power became, manifested at “once in heart-breaking confession of sin; then in outbursts of prayer, both petition ang intercession, in great joy, and, finally, in thank-offerings to- God of money and of service. It was a ease of complete surrender to God. "
