They did not know it at the ' time; but they are firmly convinced of 1 it now. A few days ago a country customer , came in to buy some powder to use j on a hunting trip. The new man i waited on him. and not being thor- i oughly "on to the ropes." gave him blasting powder by mistake.

Moses and Aaron are jj g then sent to Pharaoh with the messuge arjd from the Lord, "Israel is My son. My irstborn, and I say unto thee, let My son jo that he may serve Me, and if thou re- conv fuse to let him go, behold. 1 will slay thy are i ion, thy firstborn." Pha null's reply enth was, "I know not the Loid, neither will to t [ let Israel go" (iv. 22, 23: v, 2). lie or- nee(j lered Moses and Aaron to go to work. ? rnd he greatly increased the tasks of Is ael, so that they cried against Moses and wJl? Aaron, and Moses cried tp the Lord, Poll; who then said, "Now shalt thou see what weel [ will do to Pharaoh." And He repeated The; with great emphasis His assurauce that mjtt He would now deliver Israel (vi, 1-8). .... Note especially the seven "1 wills" of rerses 6-8, beginning and ending with "I a> sim the Lord." This "yet one plague" of w^lt >nr lesson was the only one of which God ted spake to Pharaoh Civ. 23). but He is s:i oppc long suffering that He sends first nine weel >thers, if perchance Pharaoh will repent &rre ind prevent the necessity of this last ter- . rible one. He sent blood, frogs, lice, Bies, murrain, boils, hail, locusts and darkness (vii to x), but Pharaoh only n0* hardened his heart (iv. 21: vii, 3. 13. 14, of tl 22: viii, 15. 19. 32: ix. 7. 12. 34. 35: x. 1. Cott< 20, 27; xi. 10) until this Inst one had to fceut come before he would let Israel go. He ^at cffered to let them go if they would .not . go far, but stay in the land. Then he e offered to let the men go. but not the wee' children. Then he offered to let old an 1 now poung go, but not flocks and herds. But with aot till after this last plague was he will- e(j ing to let all go. as the Lord demanded the (viii, 25; x, 11. 24; xii. 31, 32). The whole WQU record is suggestive of the way satan holds on to those whom the Lord would redeem, and also those whom He has re- Q?u' deemed, hindering them from full conse- nigh cration to God. But if we would glorify trail God "not an hoof must be left behind" jotte (x, 20). We must be wholly set npart the for Himself (Ps. iv. 3; Titus ii. 14. R. V.). . . 2, 3. God had said to Abram that when his seed should leave their house of the bondage they would come out with great and Bnbstance (Gen. xv. 14). The word the "borrow" in this passage, and also in thro lii, 21, 22; xii, 35. 30, should be "ask" or ever "demand" (see R. V.), for the Israelites ?T had long served the Egyptians und had u r right to some recompense. To borrow depc with no intention to return the thing bor- own rowed is simply to steal, and God could ing not authorize that which lie bad forbid- the Ben or was about to forbid (xx, 15). God gav( never tempts any one to sin (Jas. i. 13. mjj 14), much less commands it. 4-7. "That ye may know how thai the wer< Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel." The awful night drew nigh when, because of Pharaoh's Bro< Bin. there was to be one dead, the first- b. ] born, in all Egyptian homes from the palace of the king to the home of the hum- . ' blest peasant. Cattle also were to suffer ^ ? In like manner, but no obedient Israelite wer< wouia stirrer, anu tne uiuereuce wouiu ue . manifest to all. It came to pass just as God said (xii. 29. 30). and Pharaob and the Egyptiaus thrust Israel out (xii, J 31-33). When the plagues preceding this 1 one came upou the Egyptians. Israel suf- *" fered not (viii. 22: ix. 4. 2G). and God He Baid to Pharaoh. "I will put a redemp- beer tion between my people and thy people" atte (viii. 23. margin). The great difference hajf between people on earth in the sight of ^e(je God is not wealth or poverty, education or ignorance, culture or the lack of it, e but redemption. * m"e 8. After the plague of darkness and day. Pharaoh's heart was Btill further hard- tuck ened he 6aid to Moses: "Get thee from Mr. me. Take heed to thyself. See my face verj) no more." Add Moses replied: "Thou hast Mr spoken well. I will 6ee thy face again " no more" (x. 28. 29). There comes a last We time when mercy ceases to be gracious. Saul The heart has become increasingly hard- Che: ened, and it wants only its own way of com death, and God gives it up, saying: "Because I have called and ye refused I will d also laugh at your calamity. I will mock when your fear corneth" (Prov. i. 24-27). s He had to say as Israel increased in sin to * that though Moses and Samuel or Noah, The Daniel and Job stood before Him yet layli He could not hear them on behalf of Is- whl< rael (Jer. xv. 1: Ezek. xiv. 14). Yet this does not conflict with the truth that . "God is love." and He is not willing that any should perish (I John iv, 8, 10; II weel Pet. iii. 9). ager 9. The Lord knew that Pharaoh would the not listen to Moses, though he was free ing to do so if he had chosen, and the Lord took occasiou thus to midtiply His wonders in Egypt, for He maketh the wrath of man to praise Him and restrains the remainder (Ps. Ixxvi. 10). He would use make Pharaob to know that He was Je- Evei bovah in the midst of the earth and that Mos there was none like Him in all the earth, an(j and by his wonders upon Pharaoh and r his people He would make His name to . be declared throughout all the earth (viii, 8 r 22: ix. 14-16). By the obedience of His people and by His power on their behalf, In a also by His judgments upou His enemies, with He makes His name known. His name will was never so fully declared as in Christ Qau (John xvii. 4. 2G). . ' 10. "And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh"?thut is, suctl God did them through Moses and Aaron apon Pharaoh and his people. It is ever pers God who worketh. both in mercy to His stan own and in judgment upon His enemies, whatever instruments lie may use. As His redeemed we must not see second causes, but only and always the one fin. great first cause, even God Himself. As diflfi to the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, note 0n 1 carefully the passages quoted under verse grar 1 in this connection and observe that it is * Written that Pharaoh hardened his heart ' as well as that the Lord hardened Phara- was oil's heart. God commanded Pharaoh to was let His people go. but knew the perversi- the i ty of his heart, that he would not let cupi them go till compelled to. though he burr might have done so if he had chosen. By two his disobedience he hardened his heart . still more. All that God did toward the a bardeuing was to lay upon him a com- thou mand which he saw fit to disobey. fecti placi ti'i' A good anecdote of this distin- 1901, tuished president of the United States Port vas related by General Fisk. who ua ; ;aid: "I was sitting with General gow< trant and a number of others, when ' in officer high in rank, rushed in P- U ;houting, 'O. hoys.

A book that is likely to win attentio rom American club women has jut ieen published by the Century compc iy. It was written by George Jamc Jayles, Ph. D., of Columbia universit; nd, under the title "Woman and th .aw," gives a general view of the 1< ;al condition of women in the Unite States at the present time. The work is divided into three se< ions, treating respectively, ol uumci ic relations, property relations an mblic or political relations. In tl irst section the laws relating to mai iage and divorce in the differei tates are briefly outlined. It is intei sting to know that the constitutior if California, Georgia and New Mex :o, expressly declare the husband to t he head of the family, his wife bein equired to render him obedience. TI tates of California, Nevada and tt )akotas compel the wife to suppoi ler husband out of her separate proi rty when he has no property and inable to support himBelf. In most states the husband may r< over damages for the alienation < lis wife's affections, even when tt vrong is done by her parents, but vife is held to have "no cause for a< ion" against her husband's pareni inder similar circumstances. The ret on assigned for this is that "parem ire under an obligation by the law < lature to relieve thefr children when i listress," but only a lawyer can pei eive why a wife's parents should n< "i ifi ifi iti if?>t. ^ sr\ .? si** ? ???????? itti >t? ^ itt ^ >t? ^ ^ Tti/ 1 CA/ T va/ '1' T ti?

It declares a r husband's refusal to provide suitable r support for his wife and minor children o to be a misdemeanor, punishable by - confinement in the county jail for not e more than 60 days. s It is shown that only in New York, - Colorado, Kansas, Maine, Nebraska, -* s Pennsylvania and Rhode Island has r, the mother equal rights with the fatht er in the guardianship of children. In r. New York the conditions of guardiant. ship were made equal in 1860, but the i- law was repealed two years later and n was not re-enacted until 1893. In Geor- . gia the father is the only guardian I g during his life and he is empowered to I it appoint a successor by will, thus ex - eluding the mother entirely, if he so i, desires. In Massachusetts the motlief >f is guardian only if appointed by the 'j g court in case of separation or divorce, n Desertion is a cause for divorce in it all the states except New York and it South Carolina. The latter does not grant a divorce for any cause. The r i. shortest period constituting a desera tion is six months, in Arizona, and the e o longest is five years, in Louisiana. 1. In New Hampshire there is a curious j d disparity. The wilful absence of the f s, husband and neglect to support his a i- wife for three years is ground for dl- e vorce, while ten years' desertion by the j wife is required to make cause. < Conviction, followed by imprison- 1 ment, is a ground for divorce in many [ y of the states. t lB The property and business rights and I qualifications of married women are J treated of at considerable length and a , separate chapter defines the rights of \ aliens. The laws relating to the em- | ployment and protection of women are g outlined and much information of in- r terest and value is outlined. c ? H ? u Watch a Horse Roll.?An ex- ^ change, whose question box has been '' asked why dogs always turn around J" before lying down and why ducks walk g l<* behind each other in a string instead c ie of abreast, fires back the question as < r" to why a horse, when wallowing, al- ' ways fails to roll over on the second j r" attempt. It says that it is an invaria- ( 18 ble rule that a horse rolls over at the 1 i ? *" first attempt or quits trying with the j >e third effort. Sometimes, it says, he 1 [B rolls over tne first time and Is there- ( ie fore satisfied. But if he does not ie he Invariably makes the second atrt tempt and invariably falls, and Is then equally certain to make the third at,s tempt. This time he sometimes succeeds and sometimes does not. If he J" goes over alright, but If he falls at the 3t third attempt he is certain to quit tryIe ing for that occasion.
