never be able to persuade ua to return to the old days of political blindness, or to the beMef that "to the victor belongs the spoils." The victor in the past, no matter which party, was successful, was always the criminal cor

poration. Under President Roosevelt, however, the people have won, and liking the taste of victory they have de

termined to keep on winning at the

polls no matter how much this may chagrin the reactionaries.

Epvorth League Topic.

ROOSEVELT AND THE PRESIDENCY. - Government of the corporations, for the corporations and by the corporations is what our country has had until President Roosevelt freed us from their strangle-hold. And , now these fcame corporations under the leadership of -those arch-demons of high finance, Uarriman. Rockefeller and Morgan, have raised a &N,tMx campaig.i fund with which to defeat the candidacy-of any man of the Roosevelt .stamp in the coming campaign and to procure the nomination and election of a reactionary president, who will wink, at all violations of our laws by the corporations. This .". smm will be spent to elect a man who will pay no attention to corporations that force our railways to grant them rebates and drawbacks, who will take it as a matter of course that our citizens were born in

i this particular part of the world to eati i

adulterated and poisoned food, and

who will smile benignly at reports thatixaere is no exception

the Panama canal project is being ruin- ways!" But the human heart demands ed by grafters, for the benefit of the ! specifications. It accepts the state-

transcontinental railways that do not want its competition to reduce transcontinental freight rates. The man who will do all these things and more is the man for the '?.j,(jO.n ring."' But the men of whom this ' $5,000,000 ring" is composed, because their own souls and consciences are purchasable with gold, have made the mistake of believing they can also buy the souls and consciences of our great voting

public. They think that with their

The scripture. (The foundation for this lesson may bo used also as daily "home-readings" and as a "Bible-reading" at the devotional 'meeting.) 2 Cor. ii, 14, Triumphant Orace; Rom. r, 13, 16, The Tree gift by the grace of Christ; Rom. viil, 2$, To them that love God; 1 Cor. x, 13, The way of escape; 2 Cor. xil, 9, 10, Sufficient in weakness; Rom. viil, 18, A mathematical putting of it. The Topic. Triumphant Grace. I. Certain failure. Under almost any auspices the prognosis of a man's career at the outset is failure. I. Selfreliance and self-confidence are excellent traits and unhappy is the man who does not possess them to some

degree. But the combination of circumstances loth within his own nature and in the outside world is so tremendously against final success that self is not sufficient. 2. Philosophy. This is a great help in life. Happy is the man who understands it and knows its use. But by itself it is powerless to lift a man above his present condition. The best it can do is to make him satisfied with what he can not help. .3. Humanity. The sympathy and encouragement of human friends is of some avail. Often the soul craves it. Father Taylor, dying, is quoted as saying that he did not want angels, but folks. The angels could minister later on but his human heart craved human help. Thank God for it! But in the great battle of life "the arm of flesh will fail you." There

is need of something more potent. II. The Grace of Christ Sufficient 1. Always. The promise is "always." There is no time nor place nor circum-

Blessed "al-

mtnt in every situation but its own. That must needs be an exception! So the Bible gives some broad Bpeeifica-j

tions, some' of which will be given here, others may be found by searching. 2. Temptation. Temptation is another word for conflict, for battle. It is the word that signifies spiritual struggle. There are two ways of sav

ing one's self in battle, by runnin

away and by conquering. Sometimes th former is the wisest and the

cheapest. So Grace provides zomo

times the way of escape. The door is

mien, the command is "flee!" But

sometimes it provides with strength

sufficient for the conflict and for vie

tory. In one way or the other Grace

provides and always provides 3. An

other putting of the .same thought, from our human point of view, is our weakness. It simply means that human weakness plus the Grace of God

is stronger than the strongest and

equal to any contest. 4. Affliction

One of the hardest things to under

stand is affliction. Grace does three

things in affliction: It helps to bear

it in patience; it overrules it, binds it, breaks it in, and makes it the instru

ment of good; it conquers it. There is an overruling, quality of grace that

can make the wrath of men to praise

God. 5. Eternally. This is. the cli

max. "Always" seems to mean for

time only, but Grace will triumph

through eternity.

The meeting. (Suggestions for the

conduct of this service.) After dwell

ing on Grace Triumphant as suggested

above let the leader show that Grace

is the mercy, the favor of God extend

ed towards us through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let him show how it may be attained. Let the meeting close

with a service of thanksgiving and praise unto God for His boundless and triumphant Grace.

The odds are that he will reply, whether he be democrat republican or prohibition-

birthright. The monotony of a life without Sabbaths would repel most of xi3, yet it is what many men are compelled to face and not in heathendom alone, but in most of Christian America in this year of grace, 1907. It is no easy,, problem to determine how this is to be avoided. The simple life of the country has for a large part of our population given way to the complex, interdependent life of the city, where, if the wheels stop turn-

showing Roosevelt qualities, or showing any inclination of furthering Roosevelt policies, it is certainly worth the while of i!O,0WMX voters of this country to unite in demanding that the

to accept another nomination for president, but enter the running again, be elected and then finish the great work he has started, of bringing the criminal corporations to time. In the estimation of the people, the man who can arouse the bitter hatred and hostility of such leaders of the corporations as Uarriman. Rockefeller and Morgan, is a man who has been faithful to the interests of tlie people and has guarded them from spoliation at the hands of these frenzied financiers."' And to prove the truth of this, reply, your neighbor would only have to point to the great record of the president. President Roosevelt, by his unselfish devotion to the interests of ALL the people has well earned the right to be called a non-partisan president. .His actions against the criminal corporations have been severe and drastic, but when tl.cy are carried out to completion the corporations will find that he has also been their friend, for by purging them of their unlawful ways he will have brought them to the point where the people will have ceased to fear and hate them. and as long as they deal fairly and squarely, will treat them in a friendly manner. The corporations must be brought back to the old American characteristic of "live and Jet live." But it will take the strong arm of a man of the Roosev np to bring about this happy st A affairs. The corporations have lived so long in an atmosphere of graft and crookedness that they believe that is the only way in which business can be done. The greatest part of President Roosevelt's mission U to teach them that the reverse is the true way of doing business. The "?r.Ooo,4.mi ring." however, has been formed to prevent the further spread of this doctrine of square dealing, but it might as well try to fight Father Time as to wage war on the progressive voters of the nation. The taste of political liberty tsv hare enjoyed under the leadership of President Roosevelt, has been too sweet, and a "rin" with ten times ?."",. . u.M will

other man. The Jewish or rabbinical Sabbath, with its thousands of pretty restrictions and baseless divisions be

tween permitted and forbidden acts,

has no place in our consideration. Perhaps the Puritan Sabbath of cold

and cheerless solemnity, is no nearer

our needs: but the Sabbath of Jesus, in which it is lawful to do good which is made a gift to every man,

and not man's burden this is the

Sabbath we can accept and apply and enjoy. . Sabbath-keeping isn't a toll that God exacts as a return for the grant of six secular days. It is a high gift from Him to bring us closer to the life that is patterned on the divine life. We need the day for the opportunity it gives the spirit to arouse and build itself; for the opportunity of refreshment it gives the body; for a time when the mind can get out of its work-a-day-ruts and channels and move on other and higher planes. It is not a device to give gain to God, but for getting good for ourselves. His glory and our true success are inseparably bound together. A Christian business man, or errand boy, or clerk, or farmer, or laborer, or whatever he may be, has the honor of God intrusted to his keeping and God is waiting to be proved by our every act of obedience, to show us that His plans and methods are not out of cfate, and that His promises await fulfillment along better lines than the necessity pleas of-Rebekah or the lies of Jacob and Rebekah and Jacob may both be in our hearts, unless God reigns there supreme.

International Sunday School Lesson

April 7. JACOB'S VISION AND GOD'S PROMISE. Genesis 28; 1-3, 10-22-Golden Text Behold, I am with thee and will keep theo in all the places whither thou goest. Genesis 2S: 13. Time Uncertain: perhaps about 1800 years B. C. It is impossibe to tejl how old Jacob and Esau were. Place First. Beershebe. in the southern part of Palestine: then. Bethel, about 12 miles north of Jerusalem. The story of Jacob's ladder is one of the most familiar of Bible stories it Is graphic, it is simple, it touches the hearts of both old and young. The allusions and references to it in literature are almost innumerable, and - it has been made the subject of very many hyms and poems. The most familiar of the former is "Nearer, My God. to Thee." of the latter, are Longfellow9"Sandolphin." and "Ladder of St. Augustine." The lesson follows in connection cf bought, verselO of chapter 27. which in its turn follows closely in thought verse C 1 of chapter 20, as will be seen by reading them together. 1. "Isaac called Jacob." etc. There is no trace of any displeasure in this account. The reason assigneh for Jacob's departure is that he should not marry a wife of the "daughters of Canaan." In 27:40- they are called

daughters of Heth." It troubled Isaac

which Jshovah gave to Abraham. Gen. 17: 1-S; 21': 15-18. "Syrian." The Hebrew reads, "Aramaean." See Gen. 23:20. The verse means simply he started on his journey. 0-0. Esau desirous of securing his parents approval, takes in addition to his two Hittite wives, another wife, who was his cousin also a daughter of Ishmael, Isaac's half-brother. These verses are in parenthesis, and Jacob's story is taken up again in verse 10. 11. "A place." The definite article is used in the original as signifying a well-known place. The narrative does not mean that it was his first night out, but on a certain night he reached this place. "And he took one of the stones of the palace." R. V. Travelers say that there are many rocks and stones in this locality, some of which closely resemble in shape the Druidical stones of England. "And put it unher his head and lay down ia that place to-sleep." 12. "He dreamed." Many teachings in the Bible are represented as coming in and through dreams. "A ladder." Rather a staircase or flight of steps. The natural features of the locality may have suggested the form of the vision. It is said that "in approaching Bethel, the hillsides present frequently an exact resemblance to the steps of a stair." "The angels of God ascending and descending on ii." Undoubtedly intended to typify the ev-

CROWN PRINCESS MARIE AND CHILD. The crown princess of Roumania Is said to be the most beautiful troman occupying a like station in Europe. She was before her marriage the Princess Marie of Edinburgh. Fourteen years ago she became the wife of Prince Ferdinand von Hohenzollern, who is a nephew of King Charles of Roumania and in 1889 -was proclaimed the heir presumptive. The crown princess has two eons and two daughters.

and solitary man needed to reassure him. 1G. "Surely the Lord is in this place and I knew it not." Like the rest of the men of that day, he believed that Jehovah only manifested Himself in certain places, and doubtless associated Him only with the altars which his father and grandfather had erected, and so he is filled with wonder in realizing that He was here as

well.

17. "Dreadful." In the original sense Inspiring dread or fear. He believed it was a place where Jehovah dwelt, and held intercourse with man, and hence great reverence was due. IS. Under the feeling which tilled his heart Jacob would naturally set up an altar, and consecrate it. 19. The next thing was to name, the place. "Beth-el," the house of God. So Beth-lehem, the house of bread, etc. "The name of the city was Luz." The idea is that the name of the town not far off was at first Luz, but afterwards Bethel became so well known that the name was transferred to the

city.

20-22. There certainly seems some

what of bargaining in Jacob's words,

but perhaps it might be read "since

God will be with us," etc., I will do so and so. "The tenth." The tithe was a very old custom. Compart Gen. 14:20.

their meanness.
