Senator McLaurin on Good Terms With Standard Oil. COULD BEAT T3LLSV3AN "If Properly and Generously Sup ported, V Wrote He to John Arch bold, One of the Great Moguls of the Standard Oil Company, But .He Failed to Do It. A special dispatch from New York to The State says Hearst set the State convention of his Independence party into a tumult tonight by un packing a few more interesting let ters having to^do with United States senators and Standard Oil. A for mer United States senator was named in the letter . which Mr. Hearst pulled out from his grip to night, ex-Senator J. L. McLaurin, of South Carolina, a Democrat. Mr. Hearst read letters from Senator McLaurin to John D. Archbold and from the latter to Senator Mc Laurin, while the crowd of delegates and spectators hooted and yelled and ?creamed. "Go for them, Bill." In one of the letters Senator Mc Laurin wrote to Mr. Archbold ho spoke of being able to beat Senator Tillman, his colleague, "if properly and generously supported." In the same collection was a let ter of a later date from Mr. Archbold introducing the same senator to Frederick L. Eldridge, vice president of the Knickerbocker Trust Com pany, "to discuss question of mutual interest." Ex-Representative Jos. C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, bobbed up ? again in tonight's sheaf with several interesting letters. , In one he told Mr. Archbold of a "Rep." senator who wanted a loan of $1.000 and asked Mr. ArchUold, "Do you want to make the investment?" Prior to the 1904 campaign Mr. Sibley wrote Mr. Archbold another interesting letter in which he said it wasn't at all sure who the Repub licans were going to nominate; that the situation was a very interesting one and that he was on the inside and that he thought he really bet ter come on to New York and talk it over. A letter from Mr. Arch bold to N. F. Clarke of Pittsburg, under date of Nov. 30. 1898, showed that Mr. Arch bold was extremely anxious of hav ing a friend named as Democratic senator if a Democrat had a chance to succeed Senator Faulkner. John P. Elkins, a lawyer of Lan caster, Pa., seems to have written Mr. Archbold to help his friends in the regular Republican organization of that district in the fight with an independent organization. addnig that the regulars were Mr. A'rch bold's friends. Before reading these letter Mr. Hearst got after Governor Haskell again, while the audience roared i.'s approval and set the air ringing with cowbells and all sorts of shouts. Mr. Hearst's contribution to the Haskell literature was an affidavit in a suit brought by one John P. Bailef in Putnam county, Ohio,] against the Illinois Steel Company for $50,000, that being the amount j of the fee Haskell should have re-1 eeived, it was alleged, for acting asi attorney for the steel company in the formation of the Federal Steel I Company, Haskell having assigned the claim to Bailey. This was the beginning of the United States Steel corporation. Mr. Hearst therefore added to the Has kell charges that of being an organ izer of the steel trust, and then took a parting shot at Haskell by reading a speech of his at a dinner at Tulsa, Ok la., last February, in which he spoke up for the Standard Oil Company and said some nice things about it. As an example of methods "that were never dreamed of a few years ago." said Hearst. "I am going to read you the following letter: '26 Broadway. New York. Dec. 12. 1908. "My Dear Senator: I have your kind favor of yesterday. We have, of course, noted your recent disagree able experience with T. with the ut most interest. Think you have done just right in not being guided by him into doing a foolish thing. "I am greatly interested in the suggestion of the law practice and will see to it that it is kept in mind, with the hope that something may develop in which I can be of service to you in connection therewith. With kindest regards, "I am very truly yours, "John D. Archbold. "To Hon. John L. McLaurin Senate Chamber, Washington. D. C. "United State Senate. Bennettsville. S. O. May 29, 1902. Dear Mr. Archbold: I have pushed my fights vigorously that they have called on Tillman. I met him at Gaffney and beat him at his own game. ! called his bluff, and now the fight is for two seats instead of one. I can beat Tillman if properly and generously support ed. There is no time to lose, how ever. 1 enclose an account of both meetings for your information. "With kindest regards. "I am yours sincerely, ? Mohn J. McLaurin." "26 Broadway. April 21, 1903. "Mr. Frederick L. Etheridge. First Vice President Knickerbocker Trust Company, 6?; Broadway, City. "Dear Mr. Kid ridge: II gives me pleasure to introduce to you hereby Senator J. L. McLaurin of South Car olina, who desires to discuss with you some business question of mu tual interest. I can not speak in too high terms of Senator McLaurin. for whom I bespeak your most kindly considerations. "Very .truly yours. "John J. Archbold." Lesson i??Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 4, 1903. . THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Sam. vi. 1-12. Memory Verse, 12?Golden Text, Pz, c, 4?Commentary P.-cpared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright. VMS, by American, Pirns Association.] Throughout the whi le, of the Scrip tures there is no way of reconciliation to God revealed but by the great sacri fice on Golgotha, prefigured in every true sacrifice from Eden onward. This redemption is to the end that the redeemed may serve Him, the only liv iug and true God, in truth with all tbe heart, proving In the daily life the good and acceptable and perfect will of God (I Sam. xii. 24; I Theas, i. ?*. 10; Rom. sii, 1, 2). It is for God and for Him alone to appoint to each one bis place and bis service, "to every man his work," and it is tbe privilege of each one to "dwell with the King for His work" (Epb. ii. 10; Mark xiii, 34; I Chron. iv, 23). The redemption la wholly His own; so are also the works for us to walk in ami the way iu which tbe work is to be done. The work of tbe Lord can be done ouly by the redeemed of the Lord aud in His own appointed way. There never lived on this earth but one wbo al ways thought God's thoughts and did God's work in God's way without fail, and He wbo was truly Son of God and Son of man is wondrously typified in tbe ark of tbe covenant of the Lord of all the earth, which is mentioned fourteen times in this les son chapter. / When God redeemed Israel from the bondage of Egypt that they might serve Him. lie gave them His holy law from Sinai, which they promised to keep, but while Moses was up in the mount with God receiving the law written on tables of stone, absent scarcely six weeks, they broke tbe whole law (Jas. H, 10; by breaking the first commandment. Then Moses, re turning from God. seeing their siu. as a striking object lesson threw down the tables and broke them. God re called Moses, and. having written the same words on tables which Moses bad made. He commanded him to make an ark according to the exact pattern whlcb He showed him and in It put the law and keep it there. So the ark of the covenant, made of incorruptible wood and pure gold, typi fying the pure humanity aud the real divinity of Christ, kept tbe holy law which sinful Israel could not keep. Christ alone could say, "I delight to do Thy will. 0 my God?yea, thy law is within my heart" (Ps. xl. 8; Heb. x, 7-10). As the ark was made to keep the holy law, the tabernacle was made with tbe holy of holies specially for the ark, and there in tbe holiest of all God dwelt iu the midst of His people over the mercy seat or lid of tbe ark, between the cherubim (Ex. xxv. S. 'J'J?. Tbe tabernacle, after all its wilder ness journeying*, found a resting place when Israel entered the promised land and in the days of Samuel was ?seated at Shiloh (I Sstn. I. 3;-iv. 3). But when Israel, relying upon the ark rather than the Lord, took it to battle with them it was taken captive by them and never seems to have been re turned to the tabernacle. The Philis tines, beiug plagued by the Lord be cause of thovark. for a sinful people cannot tolerate the Lord's presence apart from sacrifice, returned tbe ark to Israel on a new cart drawu by two milk cows, the Lord guiding (he cows to Bethshemcsli. where over 50.000 died because they looked into the ark. for the law apart from e.V.* mercy seat can bring ouly death. The ark then pnssed on to Kirjath-jearim, where for long years it continued in the house of Abinadab on the hill (I Sam. vii, 1, 2). Now that David was established in his kingdom (II Sam. v. 12) one of Ids fiist thoughts was a place for the ark of the covenant at Jerusalem, aud this was well and as it ought to be. but uow we have a sample of a thing that is very common iu tbe church to day, the Lord's work, or what pro fesses to be the Lord's work, carried on in worldly ways. David knew that the ark should be carried only on the shoulders of tbe Levltes. holy men set apart for that purpose; yet. instead of inipjiring of the Lord, as was his usual custom, be consulted with his captains and leaders aud, adopting the Philistine method, had n new cart made, on which they started to bring up the ark (I Chron. xv. 2; xili. 1). Then came troubie. The oxen stum bled; Uzzah, attempting to steady the ark. died; David was displeased with God. and the ark was placed in the house of Obetl-edom. where it- contin ued three months, bringing blessing to his household (verses 11. 12). Theu David, realizing that tbe fault was his and that on the previous occasion tbey had not sought the Lord after the due order, had the priests aud Levltes sanctified 1o bring up tbe ark of the Lord God of Israel, and tbey bore it on their shoulders, is Moses commanded, aceordiug to the word of the Lord (I Chron. xv, 13-15). The same Lord who dwelt in the midst of Israel lives now iu every true believer (John xiv. 23; II Cor. vi. It',; I Cor. vi. 10. '20>. that the world may know Him and believe on Him. and to this end He desires a willing and obedient people set apart wholly for Himself. All wordly couformity iu the life of a believer or In the work of the church is like David's new cart, which can only make trouble and grieve the Spirit oC God and dishonor God in the eyes of those who know Him not.
